I still can't believe we got a boss fight against a SENTIENT TRAIN in a Sonic game. Like, it sounds like something completely in line for the series, but also unpredictable. We've seen trains, we've fought sentient robots, so how could we not have seen this possibility.

[@ComicBoi11]

It gets funnier when you think about how this boss fight is from a visual novel

[@ag-13studios51]

And the story was written by some of the crew from the IDW comics, so there is definitely no way we could've seen any of this coming

[@megablueflash1816]

It was just supposed to be a funny little april fools game. Yet the writing and characters were done so well, it's got to be accepted as canon.

[@SonicFanon1]

Wow, you were able to recreate the art style of the game in 3D almost PERFECTLY! Great animation!!

[@tarasdiary]

The Sonic fanbase always amazes me with the amount of talent there is. This is amazing!

[@Naruku2121]

I just like how casual Sonic takes off to catch up to the train. it's like the train is moving so slow he might as well have some fun getting back.

[@MrFlame-zk5cy]

Honestly I think the most impressive thing here is the fact that hat stays on his head the whole fight Seriously though, the animation is WONDERFUL. You got the feel of what we actually saw through the portraits of the game down so well. It's so good

[@Y0ZI]

10/10 You're the first person I've given this rating, usually animation has some weird style of humor or nonsense, but here everything is so well conveyed and done that I don't even know how best to express my enjoyment of this work.

[@michaelcarlton1484]

I feel like any fight with Sonic needs to be on par with the opening animation of Unleashed. You need that speed, power, sound design, everything, to feel how powerful Sonic really is. If Sonic was trying, he'd have destroyed the train in one shot from the start.

[@whybother5741]

Which is exactly why it’s more fun for him to be nerfed. Wouldn’t have gotten this whole animation if he could just have done it in one shot.

[@Xelia1337]

Yeah, if Sonic was TRYING. But Sonic likes the thrill of adventure, and the train is a relatively low threat, so obviously he wouldn't be trying super hard and would be trying to have fun with it.

[@michaelcarlton1484]

@@Xelia1337 Yeah, but it was ruining Amy's birthday party.

[@whybother5741]

Also I’d just like to point out that if Sonic really could destroy a train like that in one shot, then why couldn’t he have just destroyed the G.U.N. Truck from City Escape either of the two times he saw it? Not only that, but there are PEOPLE in this train. His friends and the Conductor. Plus everyone was trying their best to convince the train to just let him go, one could assume he wanted to give him a chance.

[@danieltodorov7753]

Nah, fiction becomes much less fun when you view it through the power levels lens. Sonic not being the multiverse level god of speed, fits much better in this game and makes it more cohesive and enjoyable.

[@shadow759]

you did amazing with this dude!

[@zerorilation]

Shadow759 love your videos, great to see ya' here❤🎉 10 years & counting.

[@subjectnivleis7572]

Did you hear the news about potential 06 remake

[@Potatoboii2]

Sonic is such a fun character to see animated, just because of how integral that fluidity is to the games, and you captured it *amazingly!* I also loved your take on the train turning to face Sonic at the end, since I never quite understood that, logistically :D

[@snocgamer]

0:43 I love how the music changes when Sonic goes into a spin here. Reminds me a lot of Sonic X, and that's one of the many things from Sonic X that I loved. Nice animation!

god i didn't hear it like that in till i saw your comment but yeah it match perfectly with the what i tend to call the ring spin dash

[@Nathanieltan100]

It's been a year since this official Sonic game came out on PC. This animation, OMG, it's freaking PEAK! Sonic and Amy's sprites, look more like in the official game. It looks so freaking good! I'm amazed at how you made this animation that makes it look so real. Well done! The last shot right after the ending screen shows Shadow shooting at the screen with his gun is the smartest move you've ever done in every animation you made on your channel cuz we didn't want YT or COPPA to mark any Sonic animations for kids and disabling the comment section that upset folks. That is very good.

[@KookieStar]

Woah! Not only did you recreate the style perfectly in 3D, but you made a solid, beautiful animation of the action scenes from the running mini game! Great job! The VN would look beautiful in 3D! ❤❤❤

Amazing job on the animation, I love how this isn't a crude parody. (Not that it's a bad quality, it's just rather basic at this point.) and rather a more close-to-canon video. Looks like an actual intro to the game. Congratulations on even getting the official Sonic KZbin account to notice you. Good job.

[@GAME_GAMBLER]

God damn this is so clean! You've nailed the style perfectly in 3D, so much so id love to see a 3D game take on this style. Keep up the amazing work as usual!!

I can hardly believe its 3d animated you captured the style of the game so well. And from a direction point of view was it great how you incorporated all the things seen in the final boss fight into a logical "Sonic Vs Train" fight.
