Sonic X: Cosmic Chase

Animation by Jeff Yandura and written by Brad Fawaz.
Originally released on Newgrounds in 2010:
www.newgrounds.com/portal/vie...
Sonic and Shadow compete for the Chaos Emeralds while Eggman has plans to use them to power his Death Ray atop the Egg Carrier. Sonic must take the fight to space and stop Shadow and Dr. Eggman from destroying the earth.
This is part of Sonic Paradox's Flash Archive. With Adobe Flash shutting down the Sonic Paradox team wanted to preserve some of the Sonic Flash animations in full 1080p. We've replaced the audio with higher quality samples as the original swf audio was highly compressed.

I would like to thank the Sonic Paradox team for contacting me about their preservation project and including me in the lineup. I think it's a great way to archive some of the best Sonic animations from the days of Newgrounds. I had a lot of fun working on this short and hope everyone still enjoys watching it. Thank you.

[@frostyeditz7227]

I sure had fun watching it. It looks just like the real sonic x

[@WillieCorley]

Sonic X: Cosmic Chase will always be one of my favorite flash movies and I'll always have great memories from the NuShift website. Thank you so much for making awesome content that had a positive impact on my life. -W.A.C.

[@PurooRoy]

I couldn't stop laughing throughout the video. Sonic's fandom in 2000's was so straightforward - Sonic and Shadow are always fighting for no apparent reason, Knuckles always helps in the coolest way and Eggman is a moron.

[@w.ninjakoopa]

I mean, even though this is from 2010 you're still right

[@theinktician]

I always found it a bit cringeworthy but I'm cool with it now. Clearly this is the majority's favorite stuff from the series do i can't complain

[@misterzygarde6431]

In spites of the flaws Sonic X has. You can’t deny the amount of fans of the franchise that the show created. For this animation, I like how they tell the whole thing without any dialogue. Also how cool would it be for Studio Trigger to do a Sonic anime?

[@Snowball_Maltese]

Yes I agree But to be honest it was one of the sonic shows I probably wouldn't watch again. But Sonic Boom the show on the other hand is a different story.

[@DragoXArt]

I didn’t know there were flaws😂

[@tails-spin0139]

Well, it got that many fans 'cause it's a good show.

[@niasayamuongbo6498]

Sonic x amine

[@Sonicfalcon16]

Then animators just do stuff like this where at times its more consistant in places design wise than the show was

[@ashketchum6585]

Stuff like this back then were pure magic since it looked so official with minimal weirdness in body proportion and was made by kids and teens who only used a mouse and broken trackpads.

[@SilverXy7]

I never forget the pain of checking new grounds nearly everyday to see if this got uploaded. The teaser trailer was pure hype in 2006 thou.

[@bhgameman]

Can we talk about how Sonic DECKED Super Shadow in his Base form.

[@yaayaamo]

Yes we can

[@theunjollysnowman]

Must be the idea of how Knuckles punch the super form out of Sonic

[@The_Sl0th]

Or a different interpretation of hyper sonic, since this did come out in 2010

[@Howardpower679]

Thats Bullshit

[@elvaso2312]

Lore xd

[@Sparkifi]

Remember when Sonic went Super Saiyan Blue years before Goku did?

[@britishgolgo13]

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[@SonicThehedgehog-lh7ye]

Yep

[@DJNeoncat]

Could've sworn that was in that sonic x trailer

[@SonicThehedgehog-lh7ye]

@@DJNeoncat it must of been nazo in the sonic x piolot trailer

[@sonicmanic2556]

@@SonicThehedgehog-lh7ye Nah it's the other way around. Nazo was gonna be what sonic's super form (or maybe hyper form) was gonna look like in the season 4 trailer before they canceled it.

[@Temzy]

We need more Sonic Shorts man, those were the best

[@Sonicfalcon16]

they still make them but under a different name

I agree, but it's better to not give them some hard time

[@GAPMan88]

It truly is a product of its time. I wished I had watched more videos back then but watching now made me appreciate it even more. I feel old watching this.

[@DragoXArt]

I love how the animation slowly got better throughout the video shows how much time this probably took

[@KyProRen]

I remember the days when this was nothing but a teaser trailer, but the wait on the release was so long that I questioned if it was coming out at all. A few years later though, I was blown away not just for the cool action scenes that I was promised, but the fact that it was one of the few animated fan projects that DIDN'T get canceled despite the long wait. Granted I questioned why Chaos was still a bad guy when we know for sure he turned good at the end of Sonic Adventure, but aside from that plot-hole, this was STILL an amazing video to watch that the wait was more than worth it.

[@Wenlu_]

I was about to comment "Yooo they're still making sonic flash animation?" Then I saw the description Not disappointed, but it feels nostalgic

[@coolkid7377]

Mungo man did all of that to prove something that wasn't even that serious

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

What are ya talking about flash didn't die its still alive no litterly it still works t never shutdown that was a god damm hooo weee fake information from the cacktie baby

[@JemiDove]

OMG I remember watching the 3rd act on Newgrounds, I've been searching for this for years!! I couldn't remember the title, I only remembered that it was an awesome Sonic X-inspired fan animation with Knuckles wearing a brown cloak being a badass and fighting Chaos amidst a freakin' cool fast metal music track, with Sonic turning light blue but it wasn't a Nazo short. THANK YOU for preserving this. When I saw Chaos enveloping the Master Emerald and the guitar riff at 6:10 comes in, I got HUGE nostalgia goosebumps. I'm like, this is it, I've found the video that left a huge impression on me as a 14 year-old fan back then, and now soon-to-be professional game artist who aims to make similar fan/original animations against epic music in my spare time like this.

[@tardistroll3494]

Man this channel will forever be a staple in my childhood

[@SimitarchVOs]

Why haven't those Mecha Sonic type robots been drawn more by people? They look nice! O.O

[@mix3k818]

I still remember how I used to watch stuff on Newgrounds. It was amazing.

[@HarmonyBunny]

Nostalgia goggles: ON

[@QuasiTheChemist]

Ok, I get why people talk about Sonic X, I understand it’s definitely got problems. That being said, it definitely is important and deserves to be remembered for introducing who knows how many people to the series. It definitely introduced me, and I’ve been a fan ever since. And honestly, I think there are many things the show did well. While the animation could be lacking much of the time, the artstyle was great, and matched Uekawa’s work. It had some memorable music at times, like Sonic and Knuckles’ respective motifs. It really did feel like something from the Adventure Era, and had some cool ideas and adaptions of SA1 and 2, and even Battle. Nostalgia does play a part, yes, but I think that the show deserves a little credit. It’s VERY MUCH FLAWED though. Also, I’ve never seen this animation, but it’s pretty great.

[@FunniBone12]

I remember this animation.

[@youngkn1ght]

I seen this so many times, I feel so much Nostalgia, Newgrounds 2009

[@limoncheg5444]

Animation: running for 8 minutes. A minute after the animations were published: OH MY GOD THAT IS SO COOL--

[@D_RobinOff]

I've been looking for this video from my childhood for months, how epic!

[@Alistacricia]

The writer is absolute genius to come up w ultra instinct before dragonball. it must be big high to inspire the inspiration xD

[@savagethehedgehog2506]

I remember seeing the trailer for that and getting beyond hyped And I definitely wasn't disappointed when the actual thing came

[@StratusWind]

Wow, I remember waiting so long for this animation to come out and being so happy when it finally did. It was such a step up from the first one and it was worth the wait! I'm glad it's back!

[@deflio]

*That's really good!*

[@marsil602the2nd]

This is fantastic how have slept on this for 11 YEARS!? loved the matchups and the music is stellar!!!

[@melon6444]

I love how so many animations from this era are just so unapologetically "dragon ball" and fall into a lot of the weird characterization things that make no sense, but there's a certain nostalgic charm to it. also 5:55 ky mains rise up

[@kiddfaith4397]

This really takes me back! Nice to see it again.

[@spooderman6312]

wait this is a flash animation? wow good job glad this was archived

[@Tulf42]

One of the best parts of Sonic X, and Chris Thorndyke wasn't in it...

Alright let's go!!

[@Solar-Fox-Productions]

Still an amazing video to this day. My only complaint is 4:48 Sonic wouldn't be able to fend off Super Shadow in his base form, but other than that, its incredible.

man that was fantatic

That was awesome

There's some impressive animation in this. Moving the camera around a character is really hard to animate.

noice!!

I usually hate Sonic X made by 4KidsTV, but S.Paradox you guys ROCK!!!! S.P. Sonic X Plus Guilty Gear X2 Music Tracks = AWESOME!!!!!!! ( O u O )

[@NikolaiTheArtistandCovermaker]

Art

[@Tulf42]

I sometimes left the menu on for ages, just to listen to Guilty Gear X's "Blue Water Blue Sky" on repeat, before I decided if I would watch the actual animation.

[@nickwilliams904]

Now I understand why I'm seeing all these vids on paradox cuz flash shut down

[@kalamari07]

nice

[@RikXtreme4]

Oh wow.. Lol i actually never seen this. I remember watching the Cosmic Chase trailer years ago on newgrounds, and it played that music from the anime: Bleach but like a more techno version. It was pretty hype and how it showed the Nazo form at the end was pretty good. So this was the result? I had no idea.. *facepalm*

[@juliusthehedgefox2300]

Sonic X redraw.

Imagne if there was a third one

[@ceoofceos5219]

I REMEMBER THIS.

[@LadySnowflakeLovesGrey]

[@Igor39K]

That Super Sonic transformation though, was it a reference to Episode 26?, and what the heck did Knuckles do to Eggman at the end?😂🤣

[@SonicTheHedgehog-2023]

If I was a part of this I would’ve recreated this flash animation and make it exclusive on KZbin

[@CEOofracismFunididhahah]

Early and dang, the channel is still so underrated even after all of this! Usually channels become dead and a little worse after a long time but not this one!
