The end.

[@BKLYN48]

Did you see him?

[@biiggdaddy9318]

Them;No. We arent ending yet. Me;Sh-

[@zvboxgamer1323]

Sir there is still multiplayer

[@Rbxkid21]

Yo can you go back to Metroid Prime and start playing it again?

[@bandannadeefan8253]

Ok so Choc fun fact when you played super stars the first time you picked act Tails for frozen base zone when you went against the bird like boss ( 1:04:51 ) that was act 1 if you didn’t chose act Tails because I did the same thing and when I played this game with my dad I picked act 1 and it was this act so I’m happy I could tell you

[@RelanTheMan]

I’m convinced that the final boss is the reason this game doesn’t have a lives system. Imagine getting a game over and having to repeat the stage again, and then getting ANOTHER GAME OVER. What I’m trying to say is, SCREW THIS FINAL BOSS

[@MustafizurRahman-sp1yy]

Bro that's skill issue

[@earlyriser03]

⁠@@MustafizurRahman-sp1yy bRo ThAtS sKiLL iSsUe 🥴🤡🥴🤡

[@CanaldoZenny]

The Final Boss is easy after you memorize all the attack pattern and make smart usage of the emerald powers (they refresh between phases). However, I highly doubt anyone play tested the True Final Boss of this game! Imagine losing and having repeat everything from start because of BAD RNG!!! They really put the worst part of Mania's Egg Reverie and made the arena bigger. The amount of rings you have is dependent on your luck.

[@RelanTheMan]

@@MustafizurRahman-sp1yymaybe, I’m not the best at Classic Sonic games, but come on. A 6-8 minute boss with abysmal pacing and having 2/3 of its attacks being insta death is pretty cheap

[@earlyriser03]

@@CanaldoZenny exactly. And no amount of “skill” will override this game’s RNG. I love Superstars and want a wholly refined sequel where these sit-and-wait bosses are cut out completely.

[@gtcproductions4097]

Seriously, the Fang boss had NO RIGHT being so difficult.

[@pokeli2728]

Man Fang is if Eggman actually wanted to kill Sonic, no mercy.

[@Sonic44885]

I mean eggman wants to kill sonic but with his cunning and skill not cheap shots and tricks

[@Yoshigamingchannel]

Well fang is the one fighting, not eggman, and it’s fang vs trip not sonic

[@azanmahmood2211]

Fun fact: Trip's spindash looks the same like vector's spindash

[@RelanTheMan]

She can also breathe fire like Vector…is that an ability that reptiles have in the Sonic universe? If so, that’s pretty cool

[@nemi9217]

This is the first time I’ve ever seen it and I’m pretty sure it’s based on the armadillo girdled lizards who love to turn into circles. (Peak animal)

[@shinystone3294]

​@@RelanTheMan can he breathe fire?

[@RelanTheMan]

@@shinystone3294 yup, in Sonic Heroes and Sonic X. He also has explosive bubblegum

[@Lyccount]

Fadel turning into Togepi at 31:31, didn't know that was something I needed.

[@cafequente8252]

"I am just now noticing that it tells you to use specific power-ups" That summerizes most of my pain watching Sonic Superstars gameplay

[@Laekith]

Pikopiko hammer/ピコピコハンマー is literally what squeaky hammers are called in Japanese. It's not a Sonic thing, Sega just decided to leave in untranslated for some reason, probably to make it feel like Amy's own weapon.

[@UnchainedQuinner]

As a fellow pain enjoyer myself, all the comments about how difficult Fang is excite me lol Can't wait to begin the torture when it's on a discount 💚

[@Spazy912]

You will hate pain when you play it

[@shadow1111111]

The fang fight is legit my fav in the game. It's difficult, but everything has a counter you have to learn.

[@Kirbicle]

26:07 “I guess I can’t be a dragon underwater” He says with 24 rings

[@pandie_cube]

I loved Trip's campaign but damn this was one hell of a hard mode to get through...glad there were no lives in this game 😓 Honestly I am excited to definitely see Sage and Trip more in future games 🙌

[@NovikNova]

Let’s be honest, they’re going to turn Trip into a newer example of Mighty and Ray. In other words, *Trip is going to be forever confined to the Classic games and is also probably never gonna come back aside from legacy bonus appearances*

[@pandie_cube]

@@NovikNova I mean I'm fine with Trip appearing in mainly the classic games if we get to see more of her. Likewise with Sage in the modern games

[@SuperKoopateam]

36:12 When it comes to older games, always d-pad since most of them were only coded to have digital inputs, thus only 8 directions. In that case an analog stick doesn't provide any extra accuracy. For modern games, it depends on what I feel is most comfortable but it's usually still the d-pad for 2d games.

[@Malwareinfestation]

i love how fadel fell through the "fadel is the type of guy to..." hole again

[@Rainman099]

The final Fang boss was the first time in 10+ years that I cried tears of rage over a game 😭

[@Dark_Mario_Bros.]

super trip is literally what people wish super sonic were always like. be always able to fly.

[@kasaitsuchi9750]

"I never want to see Fang again" *me who knows that wasn't even Fang's final boss yet*

[@swagdoll420]

To be honest, outside of the overabundance of instakills, I really didn't find the final bosses to be that bad. I felt that they were tough, but I also felt like I was learning something new from my failures, and felt satisfied as heck once I triumphed. My tone would probably very different if lives were still a thing, but they aren't, so I actually enjoyed the fights.

[@Speeddemon105]

Soooo... Dark Souls mentality?

[@CC-ks6nm]

I really enjoyed the final bosses! but man was it so difficult to add a checkpoint between the two phases? Hahaha

[@sunchaser117]

Thank you for validating my anger toward this final boss fight.

[@xraenon1664]

In terms of the speedruns, they’ve actually been doing some pretty crazy stuff already. You can entirely skip the Sand Sanctuary zone boss with Bullet

[@spiralredyoshi3644]

That Fang boss is insanely difficult. Man, I don’t think, I will be able to complete Trip’s story.

[@ItsUrBoi-stk428]

Idk if someone commented or not but either way… Trip’s campaign doesn’t actually have more acts in Frozen Base, instead you guys accidentally skipped Act 1 and went straight to Act Tails in your 2 player video lmao.

[@karbydee5879]

Amy rose after seeing fang send trip over the foreground to break the 4th wall: 👁👄👁 Tails: "amy what's wro-" Amy: "im gonna kill that son of a bi-"

[@candacevw]

what do you think choc is more of an expert at? Mario, Sonic, or seasons 1-3 of Spongebob/older cartoons?

[@Kachopper9]

The thing about the dragon boss is I’ve heard the rate of getting rings might also be based off you getting hit

[@rickyterheege20duitseherde36]

The stages are so good The bosses are so bad tough😂

[@AMV_GMVguy]

Worst bosses in ANY Video Game i have ever played!

[@dantemustdie00]

The Fang Mech might be the hardest boss in the entire Sonic series, no fucking lie. But I'll be honest' it's about damn time they gave us a actually challenging final boss for once cause most Sonic series final bosses are pretty easy. My guess for the Dragon Boss tho, I trust that it was once a member of the Sungazer Lizard tribem but likely used the Chaos Emeralds at one point and either became corrupted or it was always evil and wanted to destroy everything, so it's fellow Tribe folks sealed it away.

[@JDWLegoLegendsYT]

37:30 Wow, the moment you sad that😂

[@benyb3262]

love your videos man keep it up

[@Joey64YT]

For older games on systems like the Switch I use the analog stick.

[@Clownfly64]

Trip's water form makes me think of Mipha for some reason.

[@skyguard1an]

I love how the trains on the carnival zone, has the faces of the egg pawn enemy from sonic heroes

[@komikoi9476]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIIISS RAAAAH WE LOVE TRIP

[@GentlemanGamer94]

I really enjoyed Sonic Superstars! ^_^ I'm had a ton of fun with the new level designs and aesthetics (with the possible exception of Press Factory), the new songs and Trip's gameplay. I would even say I enjoyed the final bosses, the pattern recognition and gradually feeling myself getting better at these fights was awesome, although for me the robos definitely would've benefitted from having mid-battle checkpoints or for it taking less hits to get to the next phases. It's hard to say where this ranks in Sonic for me; I just played Origins for the first time after finishing Superstars so it's a little too fresh for me to rank the Classic 2D Sonics vs. this. All I can say is that while Mania is still currently my favorite 2D Sonic, I had a really good time with Superstars and look forward to coming back to it :)

[@davidc1993]

I enjoyed this game, but after the final Fang fight, I had to take a break from the game for a while 😂

[@CassiusStelar]

Im glad they immediately gave up on the two worlds canon after a single game. Its just way more convoluted because people dont understand where the boundaries are drawn, like when Castlevania was split into two seperate timelines, likee when the Mario RPG serieses were quarantined to their own timelines, like when zelda had a three way split.

[@hypernii-san5348]

I never knew I could hate Fang so much

[@shoveltime4]

It’s ok to be wrong about the Koopalings. It’s ok

[@isamelzorrilla5639]

Hi Choctopus I love this and I hope you have a good day and you are awesome and did Everyone see the end in the background?

[@masonhildebrant7337]

21:01 very excited for a new mania play through!

[@smithywasstolen]

Bro that spring at the beginning of golden capital act 2 got me to

[@Mitsuraga]

D-pad all the way, especially for 2D games. I even prefer the D-pad for some 3D games, if they let me use it. The very idea of playing a side-scrolling platformer with the control stick makes me feel ill.

[@crimsonstormsurge]

I completely forgot FADEL was here lol. Trip is so cool. Really enjoyed this series

[@GamesCage]

I Never wanna see Fang ever again

[@Choctopus]

I never wanna see you ever again

[@GamesCage]

@@Choctopusoh

[@Riigariano]

I usually use the d pad whenever I play a 2d platformer even most modern ones, it feels way more precise, maybe the fact that I play a lot of fighting games has helped that. (Sorry for any instances of bad english)

[@TheBeggies95]

I do the same brother

[@tylerrusnak7736]

This is Sonic Dark Souls and no one can convince me otherwise! Bosses are insanely difficult and play nothing like classic sonic bosses. That being said, its fun but i wish bosses were their own stages.

[@hectorirene763]

Agree. Like the act 3’s in Sonic CD.

[@madengineerkyouma]

Superstars is definitely in my top 5 2D Sonic games

[@NerdyHippy]

I wouldn't mind seeing Tangle and Whisper appear in an eventual game.

[@JaivynDusanj]

Hi choc! Love your vids

[@user-nq2ho7ij7h]

Trip is the cutest character forget classic Amy or Cream nah I wanna cuddle Trip and tell her that she'll be okay

[@gengargamer5657]

The true Sonic 4 is Mania, and this is Sonic 5. It’s been confirmed that Superstars happens after Mania

[@epicfan21]

EARLY!!!! TIME FOR AN HOUR OF CHOC!!!

[@JacktheLightningRipper]

I just got done Fang's battle today and I really enjoyed it! Sure I do think it could've used its own act or a checkpoint in between phases, but it along with the main story's final boss really felt good to think of weird ways to use the emerald powers. (Also tip for those who don't know, for both final bosses, your Emerald Powers regenerate between phases, so you can use them at least twice per boss, one for each phase.)

[@jaceclegg530]

The crushing boss you are referring to is from Final Zone in Sonic 1

[@SpindashStudios]

Maaaan watching you guys suffer at the hands of Fang lol, I was in the same boat. Literally spent 2 hours trying to beat him and just couldn't and gave up for the night. The fight was so cheap and infuriating. Came back to it the next day and after another hour, I was able to beat him. Never would I ever want to go back to Egg Fortress Act 2. The bosses overall really brought the whole game down for me. I'd say this game is okay at best but is a good start to build off of for future 2D Sonic games. Sonic Mania and Sonic 3 & Knuckles are still peak 2D Sonic games.

[@user-pf2bk2uu5l]

I love the reference to the first boss of sonic 3

[@gavinwillard8410]

This is why I hate Trip's final boss. Because it annoying to beat him. I wish saga made a difficulty option, so I can beat Trip's story.

[@Tyboose]

1:04:50 Speaking about Ridley, we remember you still haven’t finished Metroid Prime Remastered

Hey choc I loved the play through but I have a question for you when do you think your going to do a SA and SA2 play through

[@Choctopus]

One day! :)

[@damiendelossantos2726]

I’m looking forward to it 😁

[@TenkoTAiLS]

The lack of explanation for Eggmans time flipping machine, filled with..what? Trips story with the Egg Robo and Fang, and also the Final Boss coming out of nowhere, make me wonder if they had some supplementary material that didn't end up getting released, or their time for development was cut short.

[@newerboomerangmiaro7778]

Also if choc does sonic mania encore mode, good luck on getting all the chaos emeralds, cause the encore mode emerald stages do not mess around, especially #2 and #7.

[@notcarbuncle1493]

Whats encore mode? I beat trips story and did the true final boss is there something more after that?

[@clydefroge9316]

A lot of the 2017 clown stuff was definitely not for any movie

[@Choctopus]

The stuff that happened here was.

[@clydefroge9316]

@Choctopus I believe you that some of it was, but some was just kids hopping on the bandwagon and playing pranks on people

[@GrandMasterofProcrastination]

Man the internet won’t let us have shit anymore. Rest in peace trip, you were adorable while it lasted

[@justushagenbauer5337]

As a Indie game recommendation: Play Laika: Aged through Blood. Superb game with an godly soundtrack.

[@TranscendantWyvern]

What was the point of that secret boss fight!?

[@PapaLuge]

The fang boss has some cool moves but instakill for no reason makes it so u essentially have to be perfect which is just blatant bs in addition to the fight taking an average of 8minutes sometimes to complete only to be killed instantly by something that you have split seconds to react to. I actually like a challenge in games especially brutal difficulty that feels rewarding to overcome but this felt empty and pointless. It also took me no joke 4 hours to beat as I'd go for an hr quit then have to start the level over. Thx SEGA it genuinely dropped my enjoyment of the game significantly as it was required for the true ending

[@decker1208]

I swear Trip and the Last story, especially the the Fang boss fight and the Dragon almost made me rage quit the game. I’m not a Sonic fan btw, but it was an interesting way of getting back into Sonic.

[@Kristyybug]

Do you think the Sonic Universe has "fleshes" who has special made human suits, meet up for cons and gets a lot of hate online?

[@RM-zf4xy]

To be real, you can beat fang easily when you realise that you can cheese moast his attacks by waiting

[@GMKGoji01]

Great. Now I'm having mixed feelings about Sonic Superstars! On the one hand, it's such a good game! But on the other, the zones are so long, and Eggman's Robots exist! And so does Fang!

[@titaniumstar1772]

So which was harder, Fang or the final horizon cause let me tell you i have a newfound hatred for electrical webs and corks

[@celesticnova]

I'll take the Master King's trial over Fang any day.

[@pokeli2728]

Master kings trial is stupid easy when you know what to do, Fang feels like an insta death spammer with no work around.

[@hectorirene763]

I prefer the Master King trials because at least there you can cheese Wyvern and there’s no insta kills. Final boss Fang, my God, that shit is awful.

[@pokeli2728]

@@hectorirene763 that's being kind. It is way worse than awful.

[@miwestraveler3986]

Fang would have been a great fight if you weren't forced to wait centuries before being able to attack him. Just like every other Superstars bosses, but at least you won't die often against them. Fang however...

[@treechenho]

Man that trip final boss was ROUGH. I didn't mind the challenge and learning attack patterns and all that but man the instakill attacks definitely made things a lot more rough than it need to be. Lore-wise though, I'd like to think of it like Fang was told to hunt a dragon creature in the beginning cutscene of the game, so he has anti-dragon gear or something. I'm doing the super Sonic boss right now and I was like "thank goodness I'm done with that fang boss. The super Sonic one will definitely be easier... right?" INCORRECT.
