I like how Amy is basically tailor made to destroy bosses since half of them can be cheesed with the hammer attack. Hell, she makes sonic 2 death egg easy

[@andychua2766]

She was probably made to be a easy mode character. Like Sonic is normal. Tails and Amy easy.

[@agrilsunil1]

[@c_sea1n]

now replace "baby mode" with "peaceful mode"

[@TARDISES]

Gotta love having extended attack range in games not really designed around it, huh? As it is even Sonic 3 allowed cheeses on some bosses from the very beginning because of the combination of s and attack range that the instashield had!

[@RedTygon]

Basically the opposite of Knuckles. She's easy mode, he's hard mode with the lower jump.

Also the earliest I've gotten Super Sonic is by Hydrocity Act 2. I don't know if that's the constant in this game.

[@mcintoshprod4126]

31:49 I know someone else said this, but Hidden Palace was scrapped due to time constraints and was meant to have two acts. You were supposed to teleport there once you got all of the chaos emeralds and when you finished, you'd get a cutscene showing Sonic transforming into Super Sonic, and then you'd unlock him.

Amy's the first female character to have a Super/Hyper Form (Blaze has her own counterpart with Burning Blaze and with her dimension's counterparts of the Chaos Emeralds, the Sol Emeralds).

[@breakeranimation4146]

I still think Blaze should count for the first one.

[@13gamerbullet]

And we're also being restrictive, as fandoms do for some unspoken reason when the Comics and Games don't share an identical universe, right? I mean by the standard it has to be chaos induced, Overclocked Nicole doesn't fill the quota but I'm certain if you dig far enough it'd be in there, chronologically speaking.

[@crimsonzone8984]

I'd love more burning form wielders. Maybe even a blaze 06 feline trio.

[@berthsea9870]

What is Sol Emeralds?

[@13gamerbullet]

@@berthsea9870 I recommend playing Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure, for the DS, they're good if you like Sonic games. In them, due to Alternate Parallel Universes having Similar yet Different objects, Chaos Emeralds (Brilliant Cut) were replaced with Sol Emeralds (Emerald Cut) [Cut is the shape of the gem, Brilliant Cut is usually how Diamonds are depicted, Emerald Cut are rectangular gems]. The difference being that Chaos Emeralds use Hopes and Dreams to become Infinitely Powerful, where Sol Emeralds use the element of Fire (thusly their name Sol = Sun) because Blaze is a Pyrokinetic. They're custom tailored to Blaze because the gems aren't just Fair Game in her universe (Chaos Emeralds hiding away in Special Zones that anybody can hunt for), they're SPECIFICALLY hers (under her supervision, they even come with a little gem case!) Although they still act like Chaos Emeralds in that they'll gladly ruin the Space Time Continuum just because they feel like it.

[@ScottTrogam]

Congrats on the partnership Choc! Looking forward to the whole video.

Hidden Palace Zone was scrapped due to time constraints. A good amount of the zone was done before being scrapped. You can actually play a bit of it in one of Sonic 2's beta builds.

[@mober7430]

Yeah, Sonic 2 was supposed to be the “time travel game” but due to time constraints they decided to use the idea in CD. So lots of zones were scrapped, it’s very interesting.

[@cherrychip_]

@@mober7430 Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. There’s another scraped zone called “Wood Zone”, which was supposed to be a past version of “Metropolis Zone”.

I got a good share of fun using Amy... ESPECIALLY in Sonic 3 once you get the 14 Emeralds because of her Hyper Form perk... hammer barrage time!!! (literally). Edit: That Death Egg boss in Sonic 3 (the one were you need to use the gravity device warps to hit the boss) is a complete joke for Amy in her Hyper Form, I just pull out a "Hammer barrage goes *brrrrrrrr*", because NOT even the Super Flickies from Hyper Tails can hit it.

[@Parapsyche]

50:01 HIGHLY recommend taking time to sit down and read the IDW Sonic comics. Not only are they great (Scrapnik Island especially, it's SO good, Tails is peak and Mecha Sonic is how everyone always envisioned him, and the cheeky OVA references too), but they're OFFICIALLY CANON to the main games too, practically a benchmark for any Sonic fan now. Any of your lesser-seen favorites like Cream, Blaze, the Chaotix, Metal and even Mecha Sonic, everyone gets time to shine here and we can see what they've been up to. This has been my contribution to the algorithm. Maybe one day you'll get your Good Future, Choctopus.

I actually decided to re-read Scrapnik Island for fun once. That fueled me to catch up on my IDW.

The Scrap Brain Act 3 thing is probably due to the Japanese manuals story. It mentions that that South Island is rich with gems and minerals and the Chaos Emeralds are hidden there. Eggman mentions he will dig up the whole island if he has to. So Labyrinth Zone being under the base is probably due to his strip mining the island to find the Chaos Emeralds.

Lorewise, the Labyrinth Zone was the sewer system that the city for Star Light and the factory for Scrap Brain was built on top of. So the final zone's lab having Scrap Brain 3 being a Labyrinth re-palette'd sort of makes sense. This also assumes that the South Island map shown in Sonic 1 for Game Gear/Master System is the correct map.

The reason scrap brain act 3 is just Labyrinth zone act 4 is because the idea was eggman was supposed to drop you into the underground depths of the scrap brain zone.
