Sonic Runs for his life - Animation

The internet is fun when it's bringing back forgotten material into a meme...
Based off the meme around Sonic Boom ROM Hack of Sonic outrunning the fire in Power Plant Act 3, with epic music in background.
This animation was made with Blender 3.6, Eevee rendering engine

Let's see what I noticed: -The meme's music replacing the act's actual music (Honestly better-fitting than Hi-Max) -A slightly different route than the actual game -Modern in full-scale (Rather than limited to what the genesis could show us) -The fact that Sonic made it to the exit without ANY ring consumption (Probably due to lack of rings) -The Act 3 Clear music in full Genesis soundfont (JUST like the original hack) along with a new text style for the actual display -The fall-down-to-earth ending seen in the original (Fun fact, you can slow down when your HUD goes away and the fire would have unloaded, meaning you could actually get an actual Time Over in the tunnel without dying by the fire) People show gameplay of the act, but you did a full RENDITION of the meme. If there's ever a remake of the Sonic Boom ROM hack, I want YOU to be a part of the remake's dev team!

[@LucasRPDJ]

yep, there are a few points correct in your analysis, but at first glance, It was just a way for me to practice some animation with my new model of Sonic (I made). I couldn't really recreate 100% accurately the original game, and it wasn't my intention, I wanted to use some assets I ripped from Sonic Games (such as Chemical Plant zone) and wanted to animate Sonic accordingly to those slopes and test out some stuff, and re-use the original Sonic Boom scenery with lighting and the fire behind. I actually had rings that were supposed to be used, but I literally forgot to enable them in the final render 🥲🥲 But the most important thing here for me is that I really enjoyed making an animation out of this, and I could learn a few more stuff in the process so I take that as an absolute win 😁

I feel like ever since Generations,the set pieces for stages have been lacking. Like, you literally have the G.U.N. truck tearing up the street in Classic Sonic's City escape mid-stage, you have Sonic running down the skyscraper in Modern Speed Highway and running *up* the clocktower in Modern Rooftop run. Even in Unleashed, (even if this stage is a nightmare) in Arid Sand you still see cool stuff like Sonic rail grinding over canyons, you having Sonic running across the ocean from island to island in Jungle Joyride, and literally the whole of Cool Edge. but then you get to the cyberspace levels in Frontiers and like...the backgrounds are cool?

I love how fast Sonic moves his arms when building up speed. It normally starts like that in the sonic games, but it starts slowly, in this animation Sonic has to build up a lot of speed in practically no time, so his arms move much quicker to do that before going into his classic sonic run (with his arms extended backwards)

[@ColorsGD]

It because its Modern Sonic not Classic

[@H7perActive]

I love the way he’s not running with his hands behind his back until only when he’s focused on really going fast. He toggles between running more so his sonic heroes animation when he’s not fully locked in and his later gen gaming title releases with his hands behind his back when he’s really locked in. Impressive attention to detail there. [Edit Side note:] I also want to appreciate the the tone display here being shown in this animation. To some it’s just an epic scene of Sonic running fast in a desperate manner, but to Sonic himself it’s more so the realization and fear that much like all of his adventures it’s never too certain which one will be his last. To us he’s a hero from the comics, a star from the movies, and a nostalgia from the games. But putting ourselves into the characters shoes directly we’re excited yet scared that the next adventure could very well be our last. That’s why I love how at the end he realized how much he could lose if he didn’t make it out alive with those flashbacks he had. Makes it all the more reassuring whenever we the players see that “Act Cleared” on the results screen. ❤

[@jpacuna7874]

I love the confidence in Sonic’s eyes and not once did it falter. Without any words, it showed the extreme dire situation he was in and the determination to get out of there alive. Even when backed into a corner, he calmly and quickly found a new route to escape from (the stairs) and continued onward. I especially loved hearing the build up of his speed increase, as a representation that he can take it even further and showing us that blazing fire is no match for our Blue Blur. I wished we got this in the modern Sonic games. This is the very first time I felt so anxious watching Sonic run away from danger. I knew he could do it but there was still a bit of despair resonating inside me. Once he made it out a sigh of relief left my body lol. I want this feeling in the games! Sonic was definitely cool here! 🙏🏾🔥

[@_Tzer]

I feel like this should have been a concept for a level somewhere in an official game. eggman sets his lair to self destruct and instead of setting it to a timer he does it instantly because he knows a timer would be of no use to sonic's speed. thus forcing sonic to outrun an explosion with his superspeed

Everything about this animation is amazing. Angles, music, atmosphere, the expressions. You did something the current sonic team couldn't dream of releasing. This is one of my favorite sonic fanmade animations and Ive been watching it at least a couple times a day for months now. Please make more just like this 🔥🔥

[@Graphomite]

This is so, so, so, sooo well animated. The attention to detail with Sonic's velocity swaying against his mass (and the natural movement of limbs) as he changes direction sells the realness. You give so much personality to every movement, with split-second adjustments; not wasting any momentum, but not at all robotic or uncanny looking. With how often the hedgehog is shown running around at the speed of sound, it's surprisingly rare (if ever) that we get to see him move with a sense of urgency. This nails it. I appreciate the bouncy spindashing, too. And accounting for different running poses as he accelerates, from pumping arms to the naruto sprint. And everything's smooth. Like, you did not have to animate the individual fingers at 0:45, but you did, and the subliminal details come together like damn. I didn't expect this level of fidelity when I clicked haha meme thumbnail. Very cool, thank you LucasRPDJ.

[@storm_shadow-2107]

I really wish we got to see Sonic on the ropes and on the back foot more often in games and stories. We rarely ever see Sonic pushed to his limits far enough to the point where it feels like he might actually lose the battle or God forbid his life. We've certainly seen glimpses of something like this in games like Sonic Adventures 1 and 2 as well as the storybook games and such. But rarely do we ever see Sonic in dire situations he can't possibly fix. It's only in the IDW comics and tye Recent Sonic Frontiers do we see Sonic in a more vulnerable and exposed state. I for one would like to someday see a sequence in a Sonic game that plays out in a similar manner to this animation. Where Sonic ponders if he will ever see his friend again while trying to escape captivity and running from a death trap.

I wish we’d gotten an epic recreation of this in Frontiers for a final level. As we had to maneuver through the blazing flames that threaten to burn Sonic to a crisp and run through the exploding ship like in Sonic Forces on Eggman’s Base. I can also see this being a one change, one shot type level at the end of the game that you’d to use all the skills you’ve learned and wouldn’t be able to stop for nothing. Just keeping running. Because if you get stuck or get slown down by an enemy, there’s no help for you. Would’ve been cool. Also I wouldn’t have a problem if they used the song in the cutscene either as it captures that sort of “this is your one shot that’ll change everything forever” feeling. Like animations like this.

[@despaceto1152]

Sonic's feet have gone much faster to the point that it'd either appear as a wheel or an 8 figure. The choice to make Sonic's feet take rhythmic yet solid footsteps makes this all the more impactful and suspenseful. Going off of noise alone, you'd think he's not going fast enough to beat the flames but each leg must reach ahead of the other to get him out of there.

I know what you were referencing. God, that level gave me PTSD. But this animation was so clean though. Nice Work! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@soborkid]

A perfect representation of what is run from danger. Insane animation and hope sega will be inspired by that for make serious levels like this. My only regret is I know it's a meme for longtime and based on the Sonic Boom rom hack power plant act 3 but seriously I prefer the Hi-max theme for Megaman X6 than Paranoia but it's just a personnal preference.

This is actually a really terrifying scenario, everybody else who was with him is 100% dead. They were too slow

[@ZBlade9000]

Made all the more badass when you think of the fact he's not just outrunning fire but the explosion of a nuclear reactor.

[@TheYiffingAtheist]

That's gotta be one of the most famous moments in Sonic fangame history

[@obsessiveconceptdisorder6434]

Never thought I’d ever see a 3D version of the Power Plant Act 3 escape level, but here we are. Excellent stuff. This meme has generated some (pardon the pun) fire material!

[@XxTU_MAMAxX]

He even made cool references to the original rom hack!

[@Andrecio64]

I kinda imagine the Death Egg imploding-exploding just after Sonic scapes it's reactor core meltdown.

[@NickHamelin-nn5eg]

This is better than most cutscenes in Sonic frontiers, Sega should hire you

[@Jammmy_Dodger]

I knew it was sonic boom

[@user-po2be7zw3b]

I LOVE 1:21 he is like GOTTA GO FAST FAASTT

[@Spearmint_fresh]

This feels official. This feels like an official modern Sonic quick time event sequence.

[@yerayartigasmarquez1124]

What I like about the original fan game is that it shows 100% of what characterized this hedgehog from its beginning, that is, its great speed.

[@israelmcclain8097]

1:20 Deja vu…. I instantly thought of that one scene from Sonic Colors when Sonic was trying to outrun the black hole.

[@vreikezen8268]

The thing that makes this so cool is that sonic isn't outrunning a fire or anything, HE'S TRYING TO OUTRUN A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION, sonic can run at like mach 30 or something, so it sucks that that isn't represented like this in official sonic media.

[@knuxuki1013]

I wasn't expecting this to be so well animated

[@megaburritozero]

C'mon, why do you provide such amazing, expressive, and high quality animation sequences than Frontier and 3D Sonic games prior? Amazing stuff, keep it up

[@explosionproof9720]

sonic when i tell him "don't stop running or your gay"

[@Jakepos88]

I’ve watched this animation for about 8 times and I cannot stop watching it, it’s so good. I wish someone would remake this in 3D like a mod. This right here is where Sonic’s limits get tested and I love it.

[@TotallySSJ]

Seeing the fanfare Sonic Boom recreated into a very good animation is so cool!
