As a new fan of the channel I'm loving these new game plus videos

[@lssjgaming1599]

One of my favorite games of all time. This game was my preteen childhood. I remember playing this on the Ds collection. I have completed the game multiple times and plan on doing it again and again in the future

[@indigo6518]

I have found my clone after all these years. Sonic DS classic collection is too good.

[@seanshogun1957]

Funny thing is I’m playing the ds one right now

[@evdestroy5304]

Honestly, as bad as classic collection is as a way to play the original 3 games, the fact they got a genesis emulator able to play most of the classics working on the ds on its own is pretty impressive

[@Tizzo1982]

Man, I was lucky enough to get Sonic And Knuckles first (till this day I still think my buddy stole it from his cousins) and then Sonic 3 after. One summer I got grounded and all I had was these games, by the end of that summer, I had mastered everything there was to master in these games. Of course the replay was there, I had other great games, but I was a Sonic fanatic, and I refused to stop playing till I got everything for every character. My cousin who got me into Sonic many years prior got jealous and dubbed me the Sonic God. Only cause before 3 & Knuckles I had an unhealthy addiction to the previous Sonic games. Every once in awhile I'll dust off the old Sega and have a run through.

[@Volvagia1927]

Honestly, I'd say there are many factors that have helped lead to 20 years of Sonic being confused and seemingly un-pleasable: 1. It had one of the most iconic, intriguing game styles of the 2D era, based around heft and momentum. 2. 3D Game Development is hard to begin with, and early 3D games led to a lot of franchises becoming husks of their former selves. 3. They keep hammering in the idea of raw speed as a concept of the franchise, and that led to Sonic Team floundering, on their own, trying to create a mechanically palatable and satisfying version of playing The Flash. Heft and Momentum aren't really factors when Sonic, at his fastest, is supposed to be "so fast, he's his own DeLorean", and they want you to really feel that. 4. It is the, no joke, fourth most fan-ficced video game franchise of all time, and the most fan-ficced franchise if you're only counting franchises that started before the 3D era. (Mario, by comparison, is 14th all time and 4th if you're talking strictly pre 3D.) 5. It also had a massive, long running, American comic book series. So: The level of narrative accomplishment AND mechanical polish being asked for is...insane. To solve the mechanics issue: #1. Unless you want to make another boost game, Sonic and Shadow should be OUT. Allow them to be stupid fast. To address the narrative issue: #2. Get Ian Flynn to write the thing from the start. Not translate it, just...write it, and other people can translate it. That paid off huge for the Batman: Arkham series at the beginning.

[@painvillegaming4119]

Wow my man you predict it sonic frontier

[@Seetiyan]

It's a damn fantastic game. Back in the day of cassette tapes, I used the cheat code to put on the sound test, and put the tape player up against the TV to record my own playable soundtrack. It was worth the trouble.

[@nicosimioni7363]

I liked the throwback on Mania, but it was a bit too much. I really hope they'll release another game with 100% new stages. If I have to choose between 3&K or Mania, I'll go with 3&K, but I have faith that a new all original game will be even better than Mania (wich was amazing, don't get me wrong)

[@TheMiuToo]

I have an extreme bias towards this game. As much as I loved Mania, I love this game even more. It’s defined my childhood, it was the first game I got that was solely mine, and it was the first game I completely beat. It’s my favorite game of all time for a reason.

[@SeanGokuu]

Technically, Robotnik was always called Eggman in Japan and in initial designs and concepts. He was renamed Robotnik in the USA to make him seem more dangerous because 90s and I dunno, residual Cold War feelings? Adventure 1 they eased back in the Eggman name to unify the canon and make it so scripts are easier for translation? -shrug?-

[@Scroteydada]

No no no! He's just some Russian guy who happens to be shaped like an egg and writes the word egg on half of what he builds. Nothing suspicious there. Robotnik forecaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ovlivion81]

New game plus is honestly the best shows you are making, being so reflective in-nature shows how much you have grown as a creator and how you have elevated your competionist game, great vid Jirard and team

[@DaTruRoxzenFlax]

My only regret is that I can't like the video more than once. I have been waiting for this one and I still loved it. I can agree with 95% of what you said with the exception of one thing. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 will always be my favorite Sonic game, it was my first game I beat 100% (and beat in general without cheats) and it'll always no matter what game comes out today will always be my number 1 because it takes me back to those carefree kid days. Mania is amazing though!

[@ElladanKenet]

Sonic 3 & Knuckles was my favorite game for a long time, and is the first one I ever completed. Props bro.

[@TheSwordsman100]

I'd still say Sonic 3 & Knuckles is better than Mania because it just manages to edge Mania out by having more story transitions letting it tell it's story better than Mania, otherwise both games are great. As for what game I would like to see next, please do Maximum Carnage again but please do the superior SNES version this time. The Genesis version does not do the game justice. On a side note I disagree that your newer videos are more comprehensive than your old ones as you used to really get into the story, characters, and final boss.

[@magmaworm5262]

Mania has story transitions, just that the story jumps all over the place, paying homage to previous games and levels. It's not as engaging as S3&K's straight forward adventure story.

[@benstermeg]

I've watched Ken Burns The Civil War about 100 times. You're the first KZbinr to riff it this perfectly in my life. Well done.

[@novasZK]

This is actually my favorite game of all time, with pikmin 2 and animal crossing new leaf right behind. Also MJ was not credited not because he was unhappy with the sound chip as he has a game called moonwalker which he made the music for, He was removed because the child rape claims.

[@lordofdarkness4204]

What about Sonic Mania

[@magmaworm5262]

Not child rape, child molestation. There's a difference. I think Jirard was giving us the official line on MJ's removal, as it can't be verified that it was because of the allegations.

[@BrendanJSmith]

Magma Worm I mean the allegations are bullshit anyways.

[@randombloke165]

The only thing I can find on the internet is that MJ was not satisfied with the sound chip, and subsequently removed himself from the project and asked to be uncredited.

How is this game STILL not on the psn store? Even with the ps3... oh sonic 1, 2 and CD? But NOT the awesomeness that is S3AK? What the heck? This game will allways be my number 1 classic sonic game. Sorry Mania, you are quiet good, but you clearly missing such great moments like Angel island getting on fire, Defeating a golem by tricking him into a quicksand pit, the thrill of the growing pyramid ghost, the cool as heck looking snowboard section, every moment with Knuckles as your nemesis, including the part where he finally realize that Eggman is the real bad guy AND of course the epicness that where hypersonic and Mecha Sonic. Whatcha sayin, Mania? You have Metal Sonic? Yeah that is nice if you enjoy a freakin fan with metal toothpics as limbs. Sorry, I prefer the more badass looking robot who btw. can TURN FREAKIN SUPER! #moreloveformechasonic #metalsonicisoverrated

[@KitsyX]

I'd just get the steam version so you can have all the mods/hacks and stuff while supporting an official release... That said, they probably should have a PSN version too, if they don't... Haven't checked for a while... Not sure which it would emulate better on... The steam one probably doesn't have the best ever emulation, but it's serviceable for the most part... I dunno...

Getting all of the Emeralds is hard on its own and requires lots of practice so mastering the special stages and going super/hyper is an amazing reward.

[@superWTF64lol]

I'm going to say Mania is better than 3 and Knuckles People complain that Mania doesn't have enough originality or is too short, but it fixes those problems in plain site, especially with the crossover zones (Flying battery act 2 with wing fortress, stardust speedway act 1 with marble garden, mirage saloon act 1 with sky chase zone, etc.) Also, in Mania every single Act 1 and 2 variant in the game are drastically different levels. The largest contrast in 3 & K was seeing Angel Island Zone Act 2 get engulfed in flames, but in Mania, every single level transition in the game surprises you in the same way. And finally, levels like Chemical Plant Act 2 are NOT classic levels. There are so many brand spanking new mechanics everywhere that the only thing resembling a classic level are the visuals. If you were to replace the visuals and give the zone a new name like "nuclear factory zone" anybody would say it's a new zone

[@Scroteydada]

superWTF64lol While I agree that It's amazing how much room for improvement they sniffed out in flying battery or green hill, there are notable regressions in design which range from the most subjective(music in stardust speedway changing completely without changing the aesthetic or the new chemical plant synth sounding like a fart in a tin can) to things like an unpolished set of boss counters, pretending there was a story (you might say they didn't have the resources but 3 pulled it off and Mania wasted one of its animations on a trailer when CD used both of them). Worse bosses Poor narrative Weird pacing Incomplete Hydro city act 1 cmon guys just because they're all water levels doesn't mean they'll work together. 2 much automation (basically the same thing as having to stand still in sonic 3. I see right through you mania).

This is my absolute favorite game on the Genisis. Also one of my favorite Sonic games of all time, next to Sonic Adventure 2. I finally beat it for the first time in my life WITHOUT watching a video on the final boss. I haven't felt so satisfied beating a game in forever, not to mention the insane nostalgia I have with it, especially with just seeing the game's box. Even MJ had a part in it, with some of the music. Great game

[@emmanueloverrated]

That game is the greatest of all sonic prior to sonic mania. The only downside is, since the game has been split, there's a big difficulty drop at mushroom hill when playing it with Sonic 3. I would have prefered a constant difficulty progression. But anyway, this game is fantastic and well programmed, the physic and paralax effects were pretty impressive for a 16bit game.

Oh my god, I remember Jirad playing this on Game Grumps and completely demolishing it 100%. Or was it Steam Train. Either way, it’s one of my top ten curbstomps in anime and I appreciate the work that went into it.

I know that their both part of Normal Boots, but I love that the Completionist is wearing a PBG shirt

The running gag of this review was ready great!

I remember when I was younger watching the title screen that enlightened me for the few seconds it was up. I decided to draw that title screen by eye. It took me quite a while since I had to restart so many times, but it was well worth the effort. :)

Awesome work as usual Jirard. Still waiting for your Sonic Forces review though. And your phone call joke was great.

I like the historical narration of kid you... funny as hell.
