“It’s Eggman’s Super SU-“ *commercial*
That was perfect comedic timing and it wasn’t even intended 😅
Now I want to see an actual game titled "Super Sonic World Adventure Land 7," that sound like bootleg heaven.
Isn't that just Sonic Adventure 7 on GBC?
I played most of the early ones you talked about on Sonic Mega Collection and now i see why they seemed so underwhelming back then. I never knew they were meant for handheld
Thanks for the compilation, they make great "podcasts" for work.
Agreed! As for me They make great "podcasts" for school
@@StafkiGTN i watch them while taking a big steamy pile of poo
Sonic Rush, Rush Adventure and Colors for the DS are criminally underrated.
*Oh i play it*
colors ds is sooo good, legit my favorite sonic game on the ds
Yes
I've played tye demo for Colors DS, and it's fun. Kinda wish I played the Rush games.
Nah, they mid af
Dude your singing for breaking through it all was amazing
True
Man he didn’t know about the tricking system in the advance games. They’re still difficult as frick tho I don’t blame him
Over the last few years, I have left various comments with just 'eggs' on CZcams videos.
Gilly was where it started - little does he know that these dumb low-effort memes literally got me into making content. 🙌
Thanks Gil.
P.S. More Vigils please? Or even just of you singing. You're monstrously talented. 🥺
Use to play sonic x on leapfrog when I was younger, it was certainly an experience.
God, I had Sonic Rivals as a kid, and while I agree with you that the story is wonky and weird, I played the crap out of it. Nostalgia tells me it wasn't nearly that bad, but the one thing I remember having a huge issue with was the fact that trying to unlock all the cards and collectibles was frustrating. I can't remember if it was because there were certain win conditions to unlock them or if you had to beat the stages on higher difficulties while it spiked unfairly (or at least it would've seemed that way to my video game deprived, young and dumb self), but I ended up never getting everything even though I beat the game over and over several times before I accidentally destroyed my PSP.
That Protoman plushy is gorgeous. Protoman has the best design of all time
"It SEEMED like padding"
Looking at a clock reading 24 minutes... yeah I'm pretty sure that's padding
Sonic Lost world killed Sega's partnership with Dimps, and that hurts more than I thought it would
They forced them to use too little bottomless pits for their satisfaction 😢 so sad.
Nice collection of video’s, thanks!
Great video. You deserve so many more subs, your videos are always top quality.
32:50 Hannah Barbera Bumper Sounds are iconic 👍
40:30 Water Stages be danmed 😅
GILLY!!!! I JUST WATCHED THE SONIC FRONTIERS SONG YOU DID WITH RICHARD EB!!! YOUR VOCALS ARE INSANE MAN, THAT WAS AWESOME
Oh man GdK putting in overtime lately. Buncha new vids to check out!
Sonic Chaos my beloved.
I really enjoyed Sonic Rush. Actually I think the DS Sonic stuff was probably the best for his handheld entries
I have no shame fully playing Sonic Chronicles Dark Brotherhood 100% and I'll do it again. =P
I high key loved Sonic Battle.
Static animations is an oxymoron I've never heard. So good job there.
YOOOOO FIGMENT PLUSHIE EPCOT BRO CONFIRMED
Also ain't it weird how the Sonic preschool edutainment game on Leapster is based on the same series where the man who shot Maria is interviewed and has an emotional breakdown, and who's third season has plant life essentially genociding all animal life and assimilating them into fully conscious zombified trees to be used as energy sources
Honestly, you feel overly critical about these games. I actually enjoyed a lot of them.
9:07 The floating bubble mechanic actually first showed up in Sonic 2 8-bit/GG, though given how rough that game is I don't blame you for not making it that far in.
Sonic 2 Game Gear was actually my first Sonic game. I was a big fan of the cartoon and saw a kid playing what I would later learn was Sonic Chaos while waiting for karate lessons and thought it was awesome that you could play as Tails as he was my favorite, and asked my parents for one. Sonic 2 GG was super tough but I was most disappointed in not being able to play as Tails. And I didn't know you had to collect all of the Chaos Emeralds and just thought that they were just super well hidden pickups that give you a continue so when I finally beat Scrambled Egg zone I got the bad ending where Tails dies and it was just awful. I later got Triple Trouble and loved that game. Beat it many times, but always fell short on the emeralds because those plane special stages are tough to see and you basically have to memorize them. No depressing ending though!
I'll have to put this on later tonight when I need to do chores
> Sees the Generations Special Stages
> Calls them Sonic 2's Special Stage
> Sonic Heroes music plays in the special stage
> The special stage looks and plays similar to Sonic Heroes' Special Stage
> Doesn't even mention Sonic Heroes
there have been some great ones.
The Special Stages in Generations 3DS was actually from Sonic Heroes.
IMO the most interesting thing about Sonic X for Leapster is that Genesis-style sprite of Modern Amy.
9:08 I’m pretty sure that floating bubble mechanic debuted in the Game-Gear version of Sonic 2.
Great sponsor. I'll go back to studying.
idk why everybody hates Sonic Battle! that was childhood right there . id rather play it over smash id they updated it 💀
The first time i played sonic spinball was on an old nokia phone and as a person who loves pinball I had fun it was entertaining enough
The only Sonic game on a handheld that I owned was Sonic Classic Collection for the Nintendo DS. They're very fine ports of Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles. Funny thing growing up I didn't know Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were meant to be part of the same game, so I always just played Sonic 3 standalone, same with Knuckles. Wasn't until I played the original intended combination of games and watched videos explaining it that I have finally come to accept Sonic 3 & Knuckles as the REAL Sonic 3.
All the games on Sonic Classic Collection for DS are the Sega Genesis releases, but are riddled with emulation errors (visual errors, audio problems, and additional lag) that otherwise don't exist in the original Sega Genesis releases.
Hate to say it, but they are not "fine ports" at all.
The best frame of reference I have for sonic is the whole Chris Chan Sonichu thing.
Unrelated, but whenever you mention fangames in a video, could you please provide us with links to download said fangames...
I mean my childhood was dark brotherhood but I can see why people hate it but hey it tried something
The GBA versions has some of the best sprites there is
It sucks that they weren't use when they made sonic mania
I would love to see a Sonic Mania 2 that references the Advance games.
The game gear sonic games have some banger music
Sonic Drift is an attempt to make a mini version of Power Drift for the Game Gear with Sonic characters, it has no relationship with Mario Kart's release.
I'm enjoying this vid and don't want to sound salty, I'm finding it hard to watch handheld games scaled up, Maybe I'm the only person finding this. Would be loads better with some kind of surround (make it look like the console) and the actual in game vid being a bit smaller.
oh my god eggman is leshy from inscyption
IMO Sonic Generations 3DS would’ve been much better if they focused on his handheld history and had levels from those games. The story already takes place in an alternate timeline from the console Generations.
Man you deserve more attention
Less*.
Dude, add some chapters to your vids
Tails Adventure is a great game but has more in common with Metroid than Sonic. That's not my nostalgia talking; I played it for the first time a couple years ago.
Sega your not slick I’m on to youuuuuuu 27:44
Sonic Advance 3 OST is undefeated
Do all persona games
I love sonic battle
Thankfully Sonic Triple Trouble 16 bit is actually good
I could be wrong, but has there ever been a good “Rise of…”? Ex. Rise of Skywalker, Rise of the Silver Surfer, Rise of the Robots. Maybe movies and games need to give that title up
BLASPHEMY! Sonic Spinball is the best of the older Sonic games! It controls amazingly tooooo!
I think Sonic Drift 1 is fine and I beated the entire thing as Tails.
Ima say this: unlocking super sonic in lost world 3ds is worth it
No timestamps?! *dies of death*
Just a heads up, Gamecom is now a core on RetroArch and makes it much easier to play.
Edit: I however recommend never playing Gamecom.
Okay... Why?
@@ethanedwards3357 right!? 🤣
Is so weird to watch a video and see someone talking bad about ton of games that you actually beloved.
For example i loved sonic drift 2 and played it a LOT.
Sonic Boom could have been something great, even if it's different, if it had been in the hands of the right people and under the right circumstances.
Doesn't change the fact that what we got was trash at worst, Meta at best
Not going to lie. I tend to not give a damn about sponsors, but getting a proper University to sponsor a video is mighty nice chance of pace. Good on you Gill.
The advance games need a remaster but sega hates anything marketable that isn't classic
58:05 Completed it right here WITHOUT save states, you just get a bonus to your score:

Did he forget about the tiger electronic games too or was he not supposed to do that
I wanted to be a game designer but was shot down cause "videogames are trash"
Btw lots of people find triple trouble the best gamegear sonic game. Im not saying that u r wrong im just surprised to hear someone who doesnt like it
Where is Sonic Triple Trouble???????
Blue gilly
I feel like you were overly critical of the Advance games specifically. 1 and 3 especially hold up very well compared to most GBA games imo
yay i wasnt insulted!!!
*Hand Held it*
Y ES
CONTROVERSIAL OPINION TIME!!!
I kinda sorta low-key love Sonic RPG…
Don’t get me wrong, it’s awful, it suffers such bad lag, it’s temperamental, there’s a shocking difficulty spike partway through, it’s super short and it’s graphically terrible considering you have the likes of 358/2 days and monster rancher DS looking gorgeous on the same system….
But it’s there. They tried something, they failed yeah, but they had an idea that could’ve worked so well, they just didn’t follow through. They could remake it on the switch and iron it out, I think it’d be brilliant, but since it’s never gonna happen, I’ll take what we got. I have played much worse RPGs, it’s not a good game, but there is something there, just executed poorly.
Bothers me so much that the ds screens are touching, the gap exist and when they are together images and the perspective is all off. Very distracting for me. lol
sonic 2 for the game gear imo aint too bad? my two problems are that the cloud level is completely fucking stupid and annoying. but, you can just fly over it using the hang glider at the start of the level. you can you ride it continuously skipping over everything as long as you catch the gusts of wind that rise you up ( you gotta know how to use it first, though, Gilly haha. it aint that hard, you just tap back when it starts to dip. gotta feel dat rythm). But, if youre looking to get that emerald... good luck. its hidden in the clouds and is such a BITCH to get to! then, you get like a green hill zone type level (that LOOKS like it should be the first level, but, it doesnt play like one...be warned!) where you navigate a series of springs bouncing (due to its narrow field of view) BLINDLY into possible death! you have to memorize the layout, and even still, if you hit that spring at the wrong angle or the wrong momentum youre gonna land somewhere you didnt want to and DIE! DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE DIE, DIE!!!! rack up extra lives cuz youre gonna need em for just this one level!!!! oh, and no spin dash. the fuuu'?
Advance 3 is better than 2. Just sayin, Oh but for real. The bottemless pits did not bother me too much … Now. As a first timer when you play these games yes This is a giant pain in the ass. But when you know the layout of the levels it not as punishing. And Sky Canyon Can be a pretty fun stage. Thank god that level took so fucking many Hours to beat
Sonic 2 on Game Gear was such trash. It was the only GG game I ever owned as a kid, which is a bummer. I also could not beat the first boss for so long. I think I only ever got to the second zone twice
Tails Adventure was incredible. Sonic labyrinth was trash.
I hate sonic blast with a passion if i had time and a gallon of gasoline I would BURN EVERY PHYSICAL COPY.
Man the gba section here sucks
Jesus. That Sonic the Hedgehog GBA port… Disgusting
It would be REALLY sweet if you included chapters, dividing all the games!!1!
Why didnt Sega just name him DR. Neggman? Dr. Eggman nega sounds dumb.
How dare they add/remove an s from Tails Adventure/s, changes the entire meaning
"Sounds about DIMPS" is perfect
Nothing DIMPS has ever done in Sonic is good. Neo Geo Pocket, the Advance series, the Rush series, Sonic 4, and any main game handheld spinoff... All garbage. DIMPS couldn't figure out how to make a good Sonic game if 2, 3&K, and Mania grew mouths and bit them in the ass. DIMPS just can't get past bad enemy placement, bottomless pits everywhere, and too many springs or boost pads to try and give speed back after they take it away with the aforementioned bad enemy placement or just plain bad level design. Seriously, the bottomless pits. Holy crap. Even replaying good Sonic games, I still fear I just died every time I miss a jump and start falling. I have some kind of weird bottomless pit PTSD thanks to DIMPS.
From the bottom of my heart: fuck DIMPS.
You lost me at Neo.
if you hate sonic one for genesis you have zero taste for games period,plus the game gear sucked anyway,only the sonics on the nintendo handhelds mattered
I will never get the appeal of Sonic. For me, Sonic 2 and Sonic Mania have some of the worst controls and level layouts I have ever tried. Also, not a fan of any character, especially hatee Big and Tails because even as a kid I hated kiddy sidekicks. I still enjoy Sonic related videos from Gil and SomecallmeJohnny, these guys are lovable.
Perhaps you don't really like platformers?
@@davelewis8270 Or maybe prefer platformers that have responsive controls? Even og Super Mario Bros. holds up better and that was years before. Donkey Kong Country, The Messenger, even the original Crash Bandicoot on PS1 that everyone complains he's too dopey to control is still miles better. Sonic has the worst jump ever, I don't know how that's possible or how Sonic ever became popular when the controls are still bad in 2017 game. I can't really say anything about the graphics either when the games are processing so blast and I love the 16-bit style. Not when the main character looks and acts like a total dick and has one huge eye with two pupils. The designs are awful.
@@JoakimOtamaa Noob.
I also hate bottomless pits. This is why Super Mario World is such garbage. Why can't I just talk across the bottom of the screen? So cheap
