- The writing in this game made me cry tears of joy. That's the only reason I'm crying, I swear. Emerl the Giziod is a wonderful creation who must be protected at all costs.

![[TAS] GBA Sonic Battle "Story Mode" by KusogeMan in 2:43:50.13](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MDzfUrd5Tbg/mqdefault.jpg)
...and there's another robot on the list of "children that need to be protected and cared for"...
we're just going to put him next to papyrus
Is... Is Kiibo on the list..?
@@mothhuuny hell yeah he's on the list. we're not monsters!
Destiny Willowleaf we need the full list.
Is GIR there?
Sonic Adventure 2: Ha ha! I have the most mature Sonic story!
Sonic Battle: Hold my rings...
Your forgetting about shadow the hedgehog
Shadow the Hedgehog isn't mature. It's just try-hard edginess which makes it feel like something a middle schooler wrote. It comes off as laughable because it takes itself so seriously.
Battle on the other hand, there's nothing funny about that last scene. When it gets serious, it gets serious. When it gets dark, it gets dark. There's no question about that.
@@Garrulous64 I love Sonic battle and adventure 2's stories because of how emotional they are but Shadow the hedgehog's was also good, it gave everyone what they wanted using multiple endings and the alien invasion was no joke
@@sort7455 Everyone got frozen in place by little blobs during that invasion, that was hilarious
Garrulous64 little blobs that were slowly devouring them, even though the fact that Shadow just left them behind was hilarious, he was fed up with being everybody’s delivery boy
Ah yes, my favorite cast of characters: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Sonic the Hedgehog
Also big agree that the art style for this game is godlike and I'd love to see it return
Ay it's Lil Boulder; your Ghost Town remix has been on repeat for me for the past couple o' days!
:0 boulder man
I think a lot of things from this game should return. Namely good writing.
@@Garrulous64 The writing for me is amazing, even if I haven't completed the game for myself, you review highlights the BEST parts of the game. And I would love to find a way to bring justice to the repetitiveness of this game.
but, dont forget Sonic The Hedgehog
10:36 *Shadow snaps his fingers to harm an enemy*
Shadow is Thanos confirmed!
Shados
Silver's just like "Mr sonic I don't feel so good
To add to it, both require incredibly powerful gems and a lot of gold (Infinity Gauntlet/50+ Rings) to achieve full power
Does this mean Shadow is...inevitable?
Sonic seems to have a way of covering up his pain. There is no way he would not be crying after Emeril died right in front of him.
He's not the kind of guy that would do that. He tried to deny it to Emerl's face throughout that entire last scene and then put on a brave face for everyone else. I bet he went off alone after that and that's when he let his real emotions out.
@@Garrulous64
I'd believe it.
It takes a lot for Sonic to truly lose it. In the games, I think it's only happened in Secret Rings, where he finally lets his anger, his sorrow, all his pain and grief out and becomes an absolute _monster_
Garrulous64 shadow the hedgehog: hold my gun
@@newbiegamelover4767 yeah me too
"Should I be glad that...I was born?" That broke my heart.
"Oh hey Cream!"
Emerl Dashes around the corner
"HOW'S YOUR MOTHER!?"
*brutally air kicks Cream away*
DONK
j o e m a m a
I so badly want a Sonic Battle sequel, with more characters on top of this game's roster.
Who would you add? I guess Silver and Blaze maybe but I can't think of anyone else.
@@bippythechippy882 aside from silver and blaze since you mentioned them, they could add vector, espio, and charmie. since its a spin off they could also add returning villians like the lost hex's or returning companions like chip from unleashed, there are also a few new sonic characters from the IDW comics they could add aswell. While im not able to give a massive list, there are plenty they can add.
@@megasora4 -How about acctual super sonic as character-
@@Norrabal you kidding me, the super forms will be in the base game, but you have to buy the 7 dlc to unlock him.
(for those who dont get the joke, its a crack at forces for having supersonic in the data files but forcing people to buy dlc to unlock him. they backtracked and its free dlc now, but the intent was there.)
There was a super advanced hack of Little Fighter 2 that did just that and very well. But the creator got so upset with people ripping original sprites that they basically turned the game into spyware and now it's wiped off the internet along with the creators accounts because the victims reported all this to SHC.
"If this world no longer needs weapons or wars..."

Soooo, anyone here after the recent Dark Beginnings preview?
EMERL IS BACK EVERYONE
This video just might do numbers after the shadow animated short clip
It's time for Emerl to come back.

I’m blown away, just more evidence that not every spinoff is thoughtless fun. I really thought that recap would have been a big parallel to the Iron Giant, but the conclusion was also sweet. Excellent vid man, well worth the wait!
R.I.P Emerl, kept it real to the last bolt.
Thanks bud! Glad you liked it!
Rip Emerl :(

Emerl best character for me
I'm honestly glad Emerl and Gamma stayed dead. I dread to think what horrible Flanderized versions of themselves they'd be turned into if the current writers got their claws on them.
@@masterbison8957 I dunno. I think the Archie and IDW comics have portrayed the characters really well.
WE'RE SO BACK
Man, Sonic games just douse us in character after character, appearing again and again. Yet here we have a lovable, funny robot with an interesting backstory, and potentially the best development across all the games, left confined to a spin-off GBA game forever more.
What a waste. I want to say maybe it was only good BECAUSE he only had one appearance, but I'm not convinced.
Team bot -
Gamma, Emerald & Omega
Freak Zeke
Actually it’s spelled Emerl
Maybe Gemerl should replace Emerl because he’s basically the reincarnation of Emerl
@Lucas Frejborg
Gemerl is one of the main antagonists in Sonic Advance 3. He is a Gizoid created by Dr. Eggman from Emerl's data, making him a revised version of his predecessor. G-merl once aided the doctor in his attempts to stop Sonic and his friends from foiling one of his plans, but wound up betraying Eggman to cause mayhem. After his defeat, he was reprogrammed in the image of his predecessor.
Lucas Frejborg I’m insulted.

This game...
THIS GAME HAS BETTER WRITING THEN MOST MODERN SONIC GAMES!!!
WHAT!?!
To be fair, Modern Sonic games don't set the bar very high.
I know this is 3 years late, but Especially with people like Pontac and Graff at the writing wheel
This is so sad
Alexa play Emerald Coast

Emerl is easily my favorite Sonic character.
He's a blast to play as, has a really solid design, has customizable colors, and he really is just a fun character.
I always wanted to see what crazy stuff could be done with him in a different kind if sonic game. Maybe a remake of battle with more traditional elements and less repetition. It could be fun.
I loved sonic battle so much despite the simple/repetitive gameplay, which I’m rather fond of. I’m so excited to see what Garrulous thinks of it!
Also; RIP Emerl~
I absolutely love emerls design, I hope he gets a comeback one day in a main Sonic series, he'd be a good addition
About that....
Be sure to watch the Sonic x Shadow Generations "Dark Beginnings" prologue.
this game deserved better.. sonic battle 2 when??
this game was written so nicely that emerls questions during his death has been pinned into my mind, whenever i see something sonic battle i just flashback into that moment.. rip emerl, best boy forever.
Tails: “The Only Way To Save Emerl Is To Destroy Him!”
Me: .... *_W h a t ?_*
Excuse me what the f%&k
hi twin
the new animation really dug deep to use Sonic Battle Lore. Holy moly im trying to resist the hope of Sonic Battle coming back ... lol
That final battle between Emerl and Sonic REALLY showed off how powerful and scary Sonic can be. Like imagine fighting against a weaponize robot with ALL 7 seven Chaos Emeralds, ALL your guys movesets enhanced to a T, 4,000+ years of combat experience, and just to add in more pressure you have 30 SECONDS til the earth gets blown up! And Sonic defeated him with ease.
Such power...
IKR WHY AINT THERE NOBODY TALKIN ABOUT THIS????
@@2farhigh582 After seeing what Sonic can do in Frontiers, that actually reinforced this statement.
That's actually because Emerl had apparently gotten so powerful (with some exploded Stars helping in finally pushing his limit) that his body began to break down and break. This implies that if it wasn't for Emerl gaining too much power, Sonic would have died and The Planet would have been destroyed.
@@justinwebster7084 Yeah, Sonic is actually really OP.
@@2farhigh582 Well, it was explained in the game that Emerl was breaking cuz too much power that he got-
The first time I finished this game I'm pretty sure I cried for like an hour at the bare minimum. Tails even mentioning that Emerl could come back has made me EAGER for his return... my son, he's out there... kind of... There's a thousand and one ways they could really swing bringing Emerl back, they really could if the wanted to... but nobody remembers sonic battle... so they won't pull a Shadow on him and revive him for no good reason... maybe it's better this way, but I can't help but miss him
I can’t wait for the eventual review of my favourite sonic title: “Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.”
I’m not joking . . .
Oh god I remember having that but I somehow was so bad at it I never beat it.
I really did like the game, for the DS, but i thought it was exceptionally difficult, i spent 3 days farming out in green hill just to beat the 3 Swat Bots
The Movie Lantern - it is an RPG so there should be some kind of grinding involved, however I won’t lie it does seem that the game increases its difficulty quite cheaply in some places.
(it is a small game too, not exactly a few weeks / month to complete, unlike other games, unless you’re super bad or whatever idk.)
Wot
Yes! Review Chronicles! Please!
this is so sad...

This is so sad

Sonic adventure 2:I have the most mature story
Shadow the hedgehog:hold my damn fourth chaos emerald
Sonic battle:hold my precious robot boy
Good stuff, man. The jokes in this one were really on point. I always find myself really enjoying these scripted videos of yours.
Sonic Battle is a game I both love... and really, really hate. I think the idea of a Sonic fighting game could be really fun, and Sonic Battle came the closest to truly realizing that concept, but it falls short in so many ways. The combat is kinda barebones, the special move system is... _interesting,_ but also really annoying, the the one-shot meter was a very poorly thought out mechanic, and some of the missions in the story mode are downright absurd. That said, I still go back to Sonic Battle from time to time, and I can still have fun with it. I just think it has a lot of untapped potential.
I think it’d be great if they made a Sonic fighter that played like Power Stone. Heck, the Power Stone mechanic would be right at home in a Sonic game, just bump the number of gems in a match up from three to seven, call them Chaos Emeralds, and there you go. But y’know, that’s probably not gonna happen any time soon...
I'm glad you liked it! I was a bit hesitant at first about some of the jokes, and I wish I could have had more nice edits in the latter half of the video, but being in recovery as I am now, I was extremely burnt out just getting this video finished at all.
The game is really interesting. Like I said in the video, I liked it for some reasons, disliked it for others. I wish they'd take another stab at something like this. A true 3D port of this game with real cutscenes and Voice acting would be even more emotionally destructive.
This video might see a surge in views after today's Dark Beginnings teaser....
That is the hope 🤞
That’s actually why I’m here. Fantastic video!
Its been a long time but the "harder fights" are the fights in which you get jumped by two people and get absolutely comboed
When I originally had this game I didn’t have the emotional capacity to really think twice about the narrative. I was only 8 but this video almost made me a nearly 25 year old man cry. RIP Emerl.
8:18
Rouge then steps in and tells Amy to *”GET SOME HELP.”*
Got me dying 😂😂😂
6:42
Oh, hey Cream~ HOW'S YOUR MOTHER?!? **violently beats up Cream**
10:10
*"Maria said it's my turn on the dreamcast"*
Can I tell u how frikin much I love this part?😂
I know this meme's relatable af
And then emerl returns in advance 3 as gemerl and now canonically lives with cream, cheese, and vanilla... I think.
He was also name-dropped in Sonic Chronicles as well. And I like to think that Sonic rush is Sonic advance 4. I like to think.
He doesn’t return. Gemerl is a copy based off him
He copied his behavioural traits and his memories. The actual emerl is dead forever
@@pormpfspimperton6804 Wasn't he built from Emerl's remains?
I don’t think so. He disappeared when he died I believe
I know it became the black Robot boss. Which later is a secret boss, and is destroyed.
@14:08-.-
> Eggman sips from coffee mug.
Eggman-“What? You didn’t know I was a writer at THQ?”
1:15 Ah yes, I love the & Sonic mode in this game
first time i saw garrolous play sonic fighters with mods... i can´t judge him. man his vids are great so, im not judging him
I know I’m late, but man, Emerl. What a great character. The last line when he says “am I going to die..?” killed me. I stopped right there to breathe. This game surprisingly has a lot of emotion and and great story, despite some things not making sense lore wise. I also really liked the part where it’s said that Gerald somehow replicated Maria’s SOUL and somehow programmed that into Shadow and Emerl. It led to Shadow poetically saying that he’ll always have a part of Maria in him.
I’m also now an Emerl fan. I’m so glad I got the chance to play this game recently for the first time. The battling system can be tedious (REALLY tedious), but all in all I enjoyed the game. And again, that ending really got to me.
“Oh, hey Cream... HOW’S YOUR MOTHER?!”
That’s probably my FAVORITE part of any of these reviews! Good work!
(EDIT) NEVERMIND, THAT EMERL SYNOPSIS HAD ME IN TEARS! I DID NOT KNOW BATTLE HAD THIS IN IT! THANK YOU!
The poor lad. He did not deserve it.
Garrulous64
R.I.P. Emerl, dude.
He had more development than most Sonic characters. Perhaps being in one game was for the best, as he was able to have a completely focused arc and story... it’s still super depressing, though. He’s one of the few Sonic characters in canon to actually die, along with Gamma, another sad story...
RIP Emerl
Man, I really forgot how unexpectedly emotional this story was for me.
RIP emerl. the robot boy who was too pure for this world.
WHY WOULD YOU REMIND ME!? EEEEE-HE-HE-HE-MERL!!! (Overdramatic crying)
But seriously, Spending tons of hours in the Chao Garden of SA2B was what made me care about the Sonic Franchise, but this game made me a fan. I would kill for a sequel, or a remake, or something. Anything to get my precious robot son back!
*INITIATING RECOVERY MODE.*
Scariest words you can hear when playing.
You can actually guard against this.
@@DarknessXxMaster good to know because i die to that thing everytime i fight Gamma 💀
I shamelessly admit that I broke down when the sweet robot child died. Like, I was literally crying in a ball on the floor.
The sprites in this game are so well animated.
I got this game when a friend of mine and I got our GBAs mixed up.
God that was years ago... Decades.
12:8 When he said “mom it hurts” I got so upset,my heart 😭
R.I.P. Emerl. Maybe you'll return someday...someday..
Says the man with the chadacture that kills him as his profile picture
Emerl did appear in The new sonic game Sonic Smackdown.
Emerl is in the newest trailer for Sonic & Shadow Generations!
THANK YOU FOR TOUCHING THIS GAME, I SPENT SO LONG TRYING TO SEE WHO ELSE REMEMBERED
Ah, This was back when Gameshark Codes were a thing. xD
I remember getting the codes for 999 Skill points and putting Ultimate Emerl on Memory 3 slot.
(Thing is for some reason, He can't use the Ult. Jump Skill properly. but equipping Amy's Double Jump makes him use it twice and the Ult. Air action is broken...Infinite Jumps.)
R.I.P Emerl.
Also, If you go back and do the story a second time, You unlock Professor Gerald's Secret Journal Logs Entries. There's a total of 7 in the game.
When I was twelve this is where my first sonic OC came from. GG Sonic Battle.
Fun Fact!
Emerl appeared in Sonic X, and was similar as Sonic Battle, since he was also able to copy abilities. His death was also heartbreaking, because f*cking CREAM had to beat the ever-loving sh*t outta him, and the last ability he learns is how to cry.
😭😭😭
2:06 I love that reference.
7:45 Government snoo-PINGAS usual
Thank you so much for introducing this amazing game to me, Just cause of this video Emerl has become one of my absolute favorites just behind Sliver and Chip. I come back to this video a lot cause it’s so good.
Actually sonic battle as well as the advance games are canon
@Backslash The Hedgehog I think Sonic Adventure 2 has a connection Story with Sonic Battle, so if Sonic Adventure 3 was official, that means it was gonna be a Sonic Battle 3D with the Adventure Gameplay Style?
@@Lunatic-Overlord It does happen after advance 1 and 2 that are after sa2
g OD I FORGOT HOW SAD THAT STORY GOT--
R.I.P ( I had to put it there )
Emerail
He Was A Good Boy.
I'm glad he's back in Shadow's backstory in dark beginning animation
This is probably my....2nd favorite portable Sonic game. It's a CLASSIC!
I just wish it wasn't so tedious. One battle for each event was plenty imo.
@@Garrulous64 I def agree. I personally really enjoyed the battle mechanic so that never truly bothered me. Upgrading emerl was the funniest thing
This game is an underrated gem to me. Love it
This brings back so many memories
I was randomly thinking back on this games story and looked it up, and I’m really glad this is getting recognized. It’s actually ridiculous how good this games story is compared to every other sonic game.
13:17 i feel like Sonic started choking back tears here, guessing by the stuttering
"To see what makes it tick" I very much like this reference
RIP perfect boi... I mean Emerl
rip emeral. you were a good boy.
Since there were no sonic battle cursors online I decided to make some, they're animated. Enjoy. www.rw-designer.com/cursor-set/sonic-battle
One second... how does a robot turn into an angel? (in the thumbnail)
He was always an angel 😭
R.I.P. Emerl. You will be missed.
Man, my favorite lineup of characters!
Sonic, Sonic, Sonic, Sonic, Sonic, Sonic and Sonic.
The background to this story is why I enjoy Sonic Chronicles so much... that and its written competently unlike recent sonic stories.
next after sonic advance 3 could you do the 3 seasons of sonic x?
rip emerl.
7:35 Literally me when I See Danganrompa Characters I Like. (Except for Himiko. She Survived at the end of V3 and at least SOMEONE I Cared about didn't bite the dust...)
RIP Emerl. So glad our little bot buddy is getting the late recognition he deserves.
As a kid though, not even gonna lie I couldn’t find the death egg so I got stuck st the very end just fighting the cast and replaying old episodes over and over again until my friend showed me where to go next. I don’t think I’ve ever been more upset with beating a game...
Yo, I couldn't either. I just kept fighting Chaos over and over until I checked a walkthrough.
RIP Emerl
Am I the only one who thinks Battle would be an amazing anime? I mean, the story, the characters, the artstyle, and (of course) the battles would be fantastic to watch imo.
Sonic x
Rip emyrel. I cried. You were. A hint that made me feel something. Great job.
RIP Emerl.
Also, did you notice that the end credits of Emerl's story is the only time in the game where Shadow smiles?
Finally more people are reviewing this game.
Emerl is Gmerl.
You are right. The what if emerl survived should have been real but he must have been alive 'til now.
1. find precious robot son
2. Families bonding
3.good boy lessons
4.**remove heart from chest**
god that ending was so good but legitimately hurt me
That thumbnail makes me cry...
I LOVED this video, I just got introduced into your channel and I’m super into it! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Gemerl
R.I.P emarl
If Emerl is Shadow's Big brother, and what does that make Sonic. . .?
Still Emerl's adoptive father.
@@Garrulous64 Shadow is Sonic's adoptive son in law confirmed by Garrulous64! Now that I think about it. . . That would make Sonadow even creepier than it already is . . . Eh (BTW, keep doing what you're doing, I love your videos!)

Sonic was a decent Father to his eyes... And Sega *STILL* haven't thought about bringing him back..
-Quick Somebody cue lost in thoughts Alone from Fire Emblem Fates ASAP-
Even Amy was a decent mommy to Emerl. She's definitely one of (but not the only)the strongest girls in Sonic Battle.
Her hammer and special attacks ain't no joke!
Her enemies definitely felt her wrath and the pain of being on the wrong side of her hammer!
Hell hath no fury like an Anime pink hedgehog mom that hits like a truck! 😆
Am I the only one that thought it was cute and endearing for Amy to be Emerl's mom, even if some may think it's unusual and I didn't when I played the game and still don't now?
Yes!
Okay, I'll leave...
