I know you said "one of" but Pokemon: Radical Red is probably one of the best fangames / romhacks I've seen in years , second to Mario Multiverse and just ahead of this game. Not just Radical Red , Pokemon fans have made at least thousands of different mods out of love for the game. Its nice to see your favorite games have a community who knows what they want and how to get it , even if it means doing it themselves.

I just wanted to say, "the way he brings his hands up before dropdashing" just makes me think of in the sonic cd opening when he jumps off the peak of a mountain to use the entire thing as a ramp, and considering the love and care sonic fans tend to put into references with their work, I'm willing to bet that was on purpose

[@chimabaz411]

[@Delfite]

Bickuri, you seem to not know about "Sonic: After the Sequel" and it's predecessor "Sonic: Before the Sequel". Fallen Star has taken an almost absurd amount of inspiration from those games more so ATS than BTS and it seriously shows. I really recommend you take a look at both of those games as they're both made by LakeFeperd, the guy who also made the entire StEJ series.

[@zebulan1485]

I haven't gotten around to playing ATS (I want to figure out how to get the cutscenes working before I play it), but I've played BTS, and I definitely picked up on a lot of the inspiration. Sapphire Sights reminded me a lot of Hilltop Heights, and the SS Act 1 boss is a big-wheeled badnik with googly eyes, just like the HH boss. And of course, both are the first zones of their respective games. Thunder Turbine has those green and red gravity things that are rather similar to Arcane Altitude, and the silver bars Sonic hangs onto are also present in both. And once again, they're both end-of-the-game zones. Bubble Blossom has a quiet-radio-version-of-the-prior-act's-music before you pass a certain point and the current act's beat drops... just like the start of Sunset Star Act 3. If I were to give a funny nickname to this game, it would be "Sonic Long After the Sequel", because it really does feel like a successor to those games in some aspects. And for the most part, that's a compliment. (And by the way, if anyone knows how to get the ATS cutscenes working, please let me know.)

[@kingbash6466]

I knew instantly from the Hill top inspired level that whoever made Fallen Star loved Before and After the Sequel. You can also tell from the amount of Kirby elements all three use in their aesthetics.

[@tidalfightergutierrez8552]

I really like the toei sonic vibe the sprites have.

[@autodidacticpoly]

The ring thing you mention at around 8 minutes in (included in the extra life concept) Sonic's always had this issue - sonic 1 you needed to hold onto your rings for special statges - needed to unlock the good ending. This is still true in Sonic CD though they had the alternate "good" ending condition of exploration over ring-preservation and special stage completion. This was still mostly true in sonic 2 but more forgiving as every checkpoint was a potential chaos emerald and clever play could unlock them all by the end of chemical plant. But by 3 rings were only really important for super forms and lives, as you said. I'd really love to see a return to a "rings matter at the end of the level" formula of sonic.

[@mythosinfinite6736]

That's why I've always liked Advance 2's direction of "get more rings to enter top speed faster" with its own Boost state, despite my many other problems with the game. It directly ties rings in with the time attack-focused gameplay of Sonic. It means taking a few seconds to explore can still be beneficial to getting a faster time, and perfect gameplay is rewarded with better results -- but it's not too punishing in that not being perfect prevents you from really unlocking anything. It raises the skill ceiling and incorporates rings organically, without sacrificing the amount of content that a newcomer can experience.

[@DarkkirbyKRPG]

You can actually get all 7 Chaos Emeralds before Chemical Plant in Sonic 2. It even is an achievement in the fan-made upgraded version of the game, Sonic 2 Absolute.

[@CiromBreeze]

Interestingly, that formula *did* return... in specifically the Dreamcast/GameCube era of games. Sonic Advance 1&2 and Sonic Adventure 1&2 each made you worry about your ring count not because of *game* progress, but because of *Chao* progress. You were given incentive to get a lot of rings because that would give you a lot of rings to *spend* in the (Tiny) Chao Garden. You wanted to build up your ring count not for the extra lives (though that helped too), but because you'll then be able to buy whatever items you wanted in the Gardens, and saving up for some of the *really* expensive stuff was a pain.

PLEASE make video on the extra life gripe and other retro game design choices and their impact and importance in their games because holy moly, that was such an eye-opening explanation of something I never gave thought to as a kid. Mario always had "easy 1ups" but no one explained why the game around the lives system was what made them easy.

completely agree with your take on lives. While the quality of the system will vary from title to title, I always liked them in sonic: yeah I'm never really at risk of getting a game over, but managing to maintain a high ring count and racking up lives was always really satisfying to me, and was a good indicator of how I've improved at the game over the course of my numerous playthroughs (which I think is something most classic sonic fans can agree is the real aim of the game). It is certainly a more discernible measure of your "skill" at the game than the score system, as it requires at least some form of agency.

Great fan game. Amazing first playthrough and is maybe more mundane on repeat with an over reliance on Chemical Plant style speedy segments that you mentioned. I noticed that when not looking for emeralds, some stages can feel like they end a bit too suddenly without encountering much of that stage's gimmicks which can make them a little forgettable during some runs. Still an easy recommend for scratching that classic Sonic itch.

[@haha_hollie]

[@Much_Ado]

A small detail that I _really_ appreciate, that I don't believe has ever been done in any sonic game where you can transform mid-stage, is the ability to power down if you go under 50 rings. In the past, if you transformed, you were stuck in the super form until you beat the stage or ran out of rings, which could be a potential death sentence if you ran out during a boss fight. With this, you get to make the choice of "do i think i can beat the boss before I run out, or do I risk losing invincibility to be able to keep my rings". a really neat choice, i hope i see it more in other stuff

[@bracken8782]

Surprisingly, this has been done before, but only in Sonic Lost World. in the Wii U version, you could tap the chaos emerald's symbol again to revert back to normal sonic after becoming super sonic, and this was only in this game. The 3ds version didn't even have this, though it would revert you back to normal sonic if you got a wisp, so it balances out there.

[@KingAges]

2:30 Excellent point. After just coming off of the first game of Spark the Electric Jester, this game gave me an uncanny feeling to that game.

They're well done with some nice jokes, concise, and feel very professional while still expressing that everything is your opinion. Love it, keep up the good work. Honestly, this is the type of fan game I enjoy finding. One that you've never seen before until one day you find a video for it randomly in our feed, curious you click on it, and find a cool trailer for a cool looking fan game, and then by the end you discover it's already out, and is chock full of quality. Love it when I find a fan game like this. And it makes me appreciate what Mania helped do for the future of Classic Sonic Styled fan games. A lot of Classic Styled fan games can feel the same, with very few things that set them apart, so now a lot of them put more focus on the visual style of the game while also introducing new things to shake up the gameplay. I said this on the last Sonic video, but if we're still on the sonic train, I personally would like to see a review of Sonic Robo Blast 2. The sonic fangame that took the community by storm and would love to see an analysis on from you. Of course if you want a break from Sonic, that is fine by me and would love to see other games covered on this channel. Another great video, look forward to the next one.

[@seematahir5970]

Honestly, what really kills this game for me is the level design. I love almost everything else about it, but playing through each level felt incredibly repetitive, and I wish they had taken a few more cues from Sonic 2. The latter manages to be fast, while also incorporating well-paced platforming to break up the speed and more intuitive level design, which doesn't just involve spindashing at the start of the level to reach a higher path (which this game does). Fallen Star manages to be more visually busy while also being more shallow in design. This also homogenizes the feel of each level, and coupled with a pitiful amount of gimmicks per zone, all of this left me incredibly bored halfway through my playthrough For the Sonic fan in me, this game was a real treat. But as someone who really needed something to scratch that Mania 2 itch? It was really disappointing. Great vid as always, its great to see you uploading more regularly.

Eh, this game sadly didn't do it for me. The art, music, animations, cutscenes, all of it is stunning. It really looked like something new and refreshing But then I actually started playing and quickly realized this is just Before The Sequel 5. This isn't just well-trodden ground, this is ground that has been so trodden upon that a sinkhole has opened in it. The level design is so dull and uninteractive that it might be worse than BTS and Chrono Adventure. I don't even know how to respond to that. This game left me tired, drained, and feeling dead. No other game has put me in the absolute depths of boredom like this before, I'd rather have something actively offensive like Heroes or Advance 2. At least I can still listen to the OST in Winamp and look at the pretty lights in KZbin videos. Those DO put a smile in my face.
