The Good Sonic Party Game

[@Lanoman123]

Kid me unironically put more time into the party mode than the main game lmfao

[@bandu3567]

Same mainly because i was not really good at video games back then but i really enjoyed the main story mode (still do im actually one of like 4 people who enjoy this game)

[@Neo-Metal17]

I think that's what those kind of modes are designed for.

[@heitorsant1759]

You know a game is weird when the party minigame mode is better than the main game

[@MasterSprintersan1]

I gotta disagree, though I do love the party mode, too. SatSR is incredibly underrated, in my opinion. I’ll always love that game.

[@Altefkatr]

Funny how the mini-games, and only the mini-games in Secret Rings, are playable with a GameCube controller. It's not mentioned anywhere, not even in the game manual.

[@LucarioShirona]

No lie, the party mode of Secret Rings cooked

[@dirtydan_dg]

Its really fun!

Sega needs to make a new party-themed Sonic game akin to the Mario Party series and Sonic Shuffle. I want this party game to have board game and mini-game elements like those games did. If the game were a direct sequel to Shuffle, I'd like for it to have the same gameplay; Sonic and his friends can still draw cards to move across the board and battle enemies, can move in any direction instead of being limited to a straight path with the occasional fork in the road, can play mini-games by landing on Event spaces, the goal of the game being to collect seven gems, the game ending when all seven are collected, and the player with the most gems when the game ends winning. Also, each character could have their own unique movement and battle abilities so that they don't feel all the same like the Mario Party characters. However, it could definitely benefit from a few things; improved AI (less likely to steal your best cards even when they already have the exact same kind), new playable characters (including Shadow, Rouge, Cream, Blaze, and Silver), and elements more in line with the Sonic franchise; the seven Chaos Emeralds could be the seven gems Sonic and his friends are after, the enemies could be Dr. Eggman's robots, and the boards could be actual stages from the Sonic games (including Green Hill, Chemical Plant, and Casino Night).

13:32 this game used to scare me when I was younger, because one of the tiles had a cursed image of sonic's eye socket replaced with the majin face. That thing would haunt me man.

To unlock every thing for this mode, you need to unlock the skill that lets you homing attack on fire souls which is around lv35. Fun fact: the strategy guide for this game directs the player give themself an unfair advantage by putting “bad” batteries in the other controllers!

[@BLOODY__FATALITY]

It's about time someone talked about this game's GOATed multiplayer.

[@pichugirl-me7tp]

so happy to see someone actually playing the party mode for once! really hope you play more of it

[@dirtydan_dg]

I might, it was really fun

[@milamaxwell1731]

Play this with my little brother on the wii, multiple times my little brother actually eventually ended up playing the game all the way through in the original story mode. But we still say to this day that the multiplayer mode in secret range is unironically, the best aspect of that game.

[@GoreHusbando]

God I remember the party mode! My brother and I played tf out of it HARD

[@chair_dib]

I just tried it out last night. I had fun laughing as cream screamed while falling off a cliff in a paddle boat.

[@latiaschef220]

FINALLY SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS

[@dirtydan_dg]

👍

[@miitroarts789]

I grew up with this game and recently went back to 100% it and unlock everything. Kinda wasn't worth it but it made me appreciate the main game so much more

[@BlulesBlue]

i was thinking, its hard to not compare the "motion" stuff because what else is left, you see a jerk off motion and you think, MARIO PARTY lmao, btw i think im the only person who misses these ps2/gc/wii looking graphics

[@BlastKetchup]

lol

[@ddsbo]

haven’t see this in so so so long

[@chair_dib]

I actually enjoy the main game too.

[@crabwaluigi]

Oh yea, this was fun and random that it’s even there

[@dirtydan_dg]

Its really fun!👍

[@juliannocartagena2007]

Trying to unlock everything for this mode feels like torture man… And I don’t even hate Adventure mode!

[@904funny]

It’s a shame that minigames are locked behind single player

[@Marioboy5155]

It's not Sonic Shuffle so....yay

[@ColdOrca79]

10:18 got me dying 😂

[@dirtydan_dg]

😂

[@christopherwashington2417]

Sonic shuffle is better.

[@904funny]

Some of the control demonstrations are terrible. There’s other methods that I’ve found way more responsive

[@elliotsturtplus340]

The main game is a piece of crap But the party mode *it’s alright actually* 🤔

[@lightmaker5648]

I will not accept the constant slander of the main mode. Yes the party mode was awesome, my family didn't have mario party so this was what we had, but I played through all the story myself as a kid. And god did I have fun with it. It isn't the 'best' sonic game, but it was still a fun time. The on rail nature means the gameplay is more about your reaction times and noticing anywhere you can find an alternate pathway, which do exist. The missions also added variety to the small level pool. The excitement whenever I beat a mission and more unlocked was always such a rush. Like 'oh boy I wonder what I got this time!' To me, unlocking the party game features was just the icing on top. Game was good. Stop slandering it people. Instead of playing it like a game analyst just, play it casually. Take your time. Level up a bit. Get better skills. It's a fun time.
