Feels the Rabbit's name was given by fans, but Naoto Oshima on Twitter stated that his real name was actually Max the Rabbit.
Ooooohh ok
@shaulov10 I'm trying to find the tweet or retweet where Oshima-san clarified it and fan saying the name's possible inspiration.
I'll send you the link when I find it.
Found it. It's from Cybrid101's tweet on "What's the most useless Sonic the Hedgehog fact you know? "
Ok but what about Reto... Retto?
There's another fan made name for him "Dash", but that's for the Dash Adventure 2 mod by REVENIR.
@RafaMarquinaYT From the tweet when a fan DM'd Oshima-san, he believed it was either Max or Retro, so these names were floating around, but never fully decided.
Funny considering the Forget Me Knots rabbit was named Mach, while Max was I believe the monkey. Both inspired by the Sonic 1 beta band.
I've run out of sonic omens jokes, it's overturing time
It’s time
@@shaulov10 you might know everything I'm gonna do, but that's not gonna help you since I know everything you're gonna do, IT'S OMENING TIME BABYYYY
bro did the line better then the 1995 sonic movie 💀🙏
What a bad omen

I honestly like to think that feels is just teaming up with robotnik just to fuck around with sonic. I don't know why but I always pictured him to be a trickster, and maybe feels does not know robotnik is evil so at the end feels will realize "Oh shit I think ive made a mistake".
That could be a neat idea. But I think feels is just being a shithead. He’s like a more annoying sonic
@@shaulov10 Yeah I agree he is essentially the embodiement of sonic's old cartoon insparation his design took like felix the cat and stuff like that but feels takes it up to an 11 and I love it.
Also feels dressing up as a police officer reminds me of how in aosth, sonic digused himself as diffrent people to trick scratch and grounder accept feels is just doing it to annoy sonic.
I always imagined him being like a certain other rabbit from another game: Oswald the Lucky Rabbit from Epic Mickey.
Starting off messing with Sonic, but then after a while, begins to actually like and befriend him since they’re fighting on the same side.
Dr. Eggman.
Finally, we got Sonic 0
Yessir!!!
well, technically it is, Sonic 0,
Sonic 0verture
Sonic 0 & Knuckles
Just Knuckles...
Golden Capital looks so much more vibrant in here (Sunrise Gate) than in Superstars
It definelty looks better here than in superstars
@@shaulov10oh the wonders of well made pixel art 🙏
Never underestimate the Sonic Fanbase passion to create some incredible Fan Games/Mods
the fans are always cooking, that's what i love about sonic the most
The fans keep the fanbase alive
Wow Sonic's Development is sooo Interesting ❤❤
It in fact is
@@shaulov10 I Know!!!❤❤
Bro this game is really underrated and I can see the inspiration from the concept art! The first level is really appealing, I’m a sucker for mountains so- Sonic Overture is a blast and better yet it’s a free game!
Honestly all of these ideas for this game would have been so cool to have in the game! Good video and good job on the editing homie! :)
Thanks man!!
@@shaulov10 anytime homie :)
Sonic 2 was going to have a Time Travel mechanic like Sonic CD, where Sonic goes to Medieval and Ancient times! That would have been epic ⚔️🛡️🏰
Yeah I remember reading about that. I think they moved it to CD cause they couldn’t do it for sonic 2
@@shaulov10 yeah but CD didn’t have Medieval Times in it…
@@eklavyabohare9938 the past is a general concept
@@arzfan29 Yes
I wasn’t a huge fan of the time travel aspect but it did add an element of puzzle solving for levels where you need to be in a certain time, or not in a certain time to progress
Excellent editting too!!
The 3D boss battle looked sweet!
Love you pookie, I am your biggest fan! love the video! Keep up the good work!
Name 10 videos rn
Lol
We need a sonic origin game like this be real, open zone christmas island game
Shaluv really wanted to become Bickuribox12
Sonic Mania was a deep love for S3&K explored, the idea that that same type of love can be applied to an earlier Sonic game is astounding. S1 and S3&K have similar but different vibes and I love that S1 gets this treatment. I hope it gets finished too. Would love to see Sega legitimize this like Mania.
S1's art direction was based on Surreal Late 80s CGi Aesthetics
S3K's art direction was based on Tridimensionality
Both games are less based around going fast when compared to Sonic 2
So yeah S1 & S3K feel Similar Somewhat
I really like this fan game they need to finish it
btw, Naoto Ohshima claims the rabbit’s name was Max :)
I recently heard. That name honestly sounds better than feels
This looks really interesting. Idk why Sega doesn't just release a retro sonic game of all the old unreleased ideas they had. It's so obvious a lot of sonic fans love this stuff and would pay for it.
Sonic Mania was an okay attempt, but for me it was still missing that "old feel".
Could also be that Sega didn't keep archives of unused stuff like Square Enix did. Since back in the day they didn't know people would have nostalgia value in their games lol.
A game that revisits S2's scrapped time travel premise would be sick
One thing I didn't like about mania is how sonic is Santiago colored rather than the purpleish tone from S1/CD
Holy crap. This freaking slaps. Sega needs to make this official.
That's an interesting project there.
Imagine if they stuck with feels the rabbit we get games like feels adventure and even super feels
I’m FEELing like that rabbit was a mistake
There's concept art of that wing-flapping boss from the same perspective too. Given it's status as a prequel, I feel Eggman as the enemy doesn't feel quite right. Maybe someone else from the concept art reimagined instead. And if this is all about the S1 concept art, they just HAVE to have the band Sonic and Vector were in! Even though she's from the movieverse, would be nice to see an AU Longclaw in thus game given how underutilized she was.
1. Well-spotted on the Granite Zone boss art concept :3
2. We have plans for Eggman, no worries!
3. All I can say is that weve considered every scrapped concept that was made public. Stay tuned!
4. AU Longclaw? Heres a little secret... Check the totem poles in Sunrise Gate.~
😉
Sunrise Gate Act 2 = Golden Capital but good
Fun fact. In the concept art this stage was called golden capital so technically it is still golden capital
Way past cool!
glad you liked the game!
"prequel to sonic 1" has spindash
Well maybe he forgot in sonic 1 idk 🤷♂️
Wow ik some of the conceot art but i didnt know about the others and that early version of marble with platforms and i never knew there was a early city level for sonic 1 where ya find these. Concepts art
the team put in work
Who edits your videos ? It’s amazing ! 😮
I do. Glad you like the editing
@@shaulov10 well you did a fantastic job, also really loved the video, I new a bit about this fan game years back but I’m still finding out new stuff about it and really glad to still find out new stuff about it .
alternate title: alternate universe where sega is intelligent
Tbh if this was released during Saturn Era it still wouldn't help because Saturn was Overpriced and Gamers only cared about the 3D Craze Back in the Day
Really awesome lookin fangame. I need to start playing these. Ive been sleepin 😴
WAKE UP!!
Didn’t realise McLovin had a sonic yt channel.
Great stuff
Mclovin is crazy 😭😭
@@shaulov10 legitimately though, your videos are great and I wish you the best.
6:58 I like Sonic's reaction to that rabbit. He's like, "Oh, it's you again...".
8:59 Woah! Wait a minute! What the hell? I like this idea!
wow Sonic has his own Oswald.
Come on Sega, pull a Mania here. hire these lads.
11:22 - dude, DOOM Zero.
I have never heard of this
It’s an amazing fan game
7:53 he does the Sonic CD looking pose :D
The Loop That Goes Three Times™ is also present in Bridge Island Act 2 from Sonic Superstars, albeit it's a bit different
I’m trying to find the original concept art but I can’t
this game is incredible. fans do what segadon't
9:04 Not to mention that this is straight up a freaking Saturn 🪐
I like how the art design reminds me of Ristar.
That’s the game I was thinking about. I couldn’t remember what it was called
For some reason environments look interlaced
I'm calling it here: the Rabbit and Sonic are rivals at punking each other, like brothers that always pick on each other, but Robotnic kills him! That's why he's not in Sonic 1.
5:33 it almost looks like the lava is inside some kind of glass
i know it's from CD and not 1 and that it was reused for mirage saloon but i'd love if they added Desert Dazzle from that one C.W. concept or even R2
I will play it when they remove the spin dash because this is supposed to be a prequel to sonic 1
1:57 So you telling me sonic is baby jesus!?!?!?
Precisely
Pov: Me with CSS and a dream: *Cracks knuckles* fine i’ll do it myself
That's fine and dandy and all, but the question of a million dollars:
Can it run on an original Saturn?
Why golden capital or whatever wasn’t kept in is beyond me
Sega edging us a good game
What did bro mean by this?
@@shaulov10 ouverture better than superstar 🙏😭
@aaaamine nuh uh honey we know what you meant by that 😏
@@GuyInTheShade-dj125 fym 💀
...So many of these games start off like this with TONS of detail...
Almost all of them get dropped. Making games isn't easy.
When a fan game looks better then Superstars
Surprised ya didnt mention the UFOs looked like Sega saturn's logo
Lol I guess I didn’t connect the dots
IS THAT ME IN THE BEGINNING???
Possibly…
6:08 Is the first time I've seen this lil guy, who are they?
They were gonna be enemies in sonic but were scrapped
Great explainer!!
Sonic Overtune pretty much changed to Sonic Legends, and I think it’s not gonna be similar to Sonic Overtune anymore (unless if the Ultra Ring Team make another sonic fan game or someone else makes something related to Sonic Overtune or the old concept of Sonic 1)
W sonic games
So true
That includes sonic omens
And Lost World
And chronicles
This whole game is looking like something truly special! The boss of Granite Zone might be my favorite thing about it, purely due to how... legit it feels. Sonic Team _would_ add some pseudo 3D gimmick into their game that showcases the capabilities of the console... after all, they've been doing it even since the first game with the Special Stages! It may not involve any platforming, but still, I love it!
This game looks incredible, but ware can i play this mod??
If you search up sonic overture they have a website we’re you can get it
@@shaulov10 oh ok thanks
Regarding Christmas Island, wasn't that from an old already ditched and retconed Sonic Bible for the US that no longer is canon since was stuck with the JP one?
Yeah but still it’s a nice reference to the old sonic media
The Christmas Island thing is actually JP
not US
If Sega officially released this for the Saturn and they went head to head with the N64's Mario 64... Sega's demise would have come even quicker.
Well yeah. Everyone was already moving to the 3rd dimension and they even knew they couldn’t be stuck in the 2nd dimension
Have you seen that Dream Team Update 2 Trailer
Yes but I don’t got Apple Arcade 😭
Sonic Dream Team is actually Trash! How to they expect to get a "New Audience" When people can barely play it
fr I agree
The only reason why you people are saying that it sucks is because you people are too poor to pay for just a monthly subscribtion
@@EmmanuelOdoh-on7mu what do you mean by “you people” 🤨
thats max the rabbit-
I have just learned this today
SOUTHEAST ASIA MENTIONED 🎉🎉🎉
The fact that yt thinks this is sonic 1 (check desc), just shows how they perfectly got the sonic 1 art direction on this game (my second comment lmao)
I would kill for a remake of sonic 1 similar to this style
@@shaulov10 same
Cool guess we can see a sequel to this game…
I mean technically sonic legends is a sequel. It’s the same game but in a more mania style
@@shaulov10 ok?
nice🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
Not sure what the drop dash criticism is about. That's just f***ing stupid. Sonic 1 just had running, jumping and rolling. Sonic 2 added spindash, an NPC that followed alongside Sonic, multiplayer and Super Sonic (oh and also the option to play as Tails solo, but it's more or less the same except no Super Tails here). Sonic 3 & Knuckles added the jump shield attack, various effect shields and 3 playable characters with unique abilities each. Sonic CD added the 8-wheel dash and Sonic 4 pretty much turned into Knuckles Chaotix and had the use-each-other's--momentum gimmick.
Anyhow, point is that every new 2D Genesis entry for Sonic added movement options. The drop dash in Sonic Mania is an amazing addition that's very much in line with what the classic games added. It's besides that it's just stupid to criticize since it's a superb option to get a speed boost and play with momentum. It's probably the best addition to Sonic's movement since the spindash was introduced since with this you can turn around without having to come to a complete stop first and having to build up speed again. I can't imagine a better addition to 2D Sonic.
2:45 THAT WAS SONIC ART?!?!? THAT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE SONIC!
I mean I can’t blame sega because technology was still new in 1991
The mega drive already existed in 1989
You said alien spaceships do you think that has something to do with the lore
Possibly…
can you make sonic 2 too i like your vdo
Technically sonic did kill a rock in sonic and knuckles sand Opolis
Honestly, the fans make _far_ better Sonic games than Sonic Team and Sega do, these days.
Its easier to be better than the original, as you have everything you need to know about it to make it better. Obviously a remake from 30 years later will be better, which tbh is missing the charm Sonic 1 has
How does this doesn't have the charm of S1?
The game in itself already feels like an evolution of the concept of S1
Not Sonic Blast, I sleep... 😴
Tell me they plan to put Madonna in this.
It looks like this game was made by S E G A
They did sonic better than sega
Game looks Interesting but don't like the shield effect
Classic Sonic putting me to sleep 😴 make an Elise vid
Ok unleash
Needs dropdash
We have been spoiled by mania

That buzz sound effect is driving me nuts Lol. Every single talking point doesn't need that sound with it. like it should be used 2 times a video not 4 times within 40 seconds
Sonic can spin dash while standing still, trash game /j
Stop swearing 👎
Nuh uh
overture is good but not like, sonic 1 good or anything like that... in my humble yet flawed opinion at least
I like it more than sonic 1. Again though it’s not complete so let’s see
Thr Granite Zone Boss is actually a refernce to that one art where Dr. R also rides the same eggmobile holding Tails captive. And Sonic's driving a ship too.
I forgpr what the art is, but yah, that's for correction
