    Sonic is my all time favorite franchise/character (the close second is Megaman). First time I played Generations I was impressed by everything, but in one of the challenges, when the Balloon Park song started playing (Balloon Park was one of the 2player mode stages in Sonic 3) I busted into tears, I used to play that stage with my uncle that passed away, and the remix was so beautifully done that my emotions were exploding. This game (and Sonic in general) means a lot to me.
    Great video, and perfect game! :D so hyped for the movie next week

      i said MAIN CANON sonic games
      The game gear games are not canon
      Sonic boom is not canon it is a spin-off franchise to the main sonic franchise (like mega man x & battle network to the main mega man franchise)
      Sonic r & the fighter are not canon they are spin-off games
      Sonic pocket adventure is not canon is just a demake of sonic 2 with elements of sonic 3 and adventure for the neo geo pocket color
      Sonic 3d blasd is not canon it just a filler game that made because the delay of sonic x-tream
      Sonic battle is canon taking place before advence 3 but it’s not a main game
      chronicles is unknown right now if it canon or not it’s a spin-off but the story can connect to sonic forces
      The Riders games and team sonic racing are canon but they are spin-off titles (also jirard completed TSR already)
      Sonic unleashed ps2 & wii are canon because they have the same story of the hd version but we don’t need a Completionist episode because he completed the hd version
      The ds version of colors is unknown if it canon because technically it’s the first time blaze & silver meet after the events of 2006 erased from the timeline, maybe its a extended version of the story of colors
      the 3ds versions of generation & lost world are not canon different story to the console/pc version

      dude the storybook games are canon because generation! Sonic mention the events of the secret ring in the game, they are platformers so its a main game
      Chaotix canon because the chaotix debut.
      Rivals is canon because of silver! The events of 06 erased in the end of the game so this technically the first time sonic meet silver. Also it’s a 2.5d platformer like rush so it’s a main game.
      Mania treats all the classic sonic games it’s dose not make the game gear games canon it’s just a love letter to the sonic fans. Same for sonic the fighter it’s just a love letter to the fanboys how the fuck a sonic game with 8 chaos emeralds is canon?

    I'll admit that Sonic was iconic to me growing up. Even though I was born in the early 2000's, my first time playing Sonic was on the Gameboy and I loved it. My dad had this console when he was younger and he let me play it. I had a blast with it, although I never played through the whole game because I was an eight year that wasn't that good at video games.
    I know that the Sonic franchise has had quite a few bad games, but my experience with it has been pretty good! Then again, my second Sonic game was Sonic Colors on the Wii. I went nuts with that game and even played it with my best friend sometimes.
    Now that I'm on the internet, I found out that Sonic Colors is one of the better games. So I think I just never played any of the bad games.
    So yeah, this franchise has a close spot in my heart.

      Considering how the development of the movie was handled,and how they thought that that whole original design was going to go over well, they clearly have no idea of what the franchise is and what we expect from it. I see this as a attempted cash grab by people who have no idea what the fans of the franchise will do if they're threatened or mildly upset. Considering a studio shut down because of the redesign they're not getting that quick cash grab. While the new redesign might be one of my favorite designs ever for Sonic, as I love realistic designs of cartoon characters done right, I have very low hopes for this movie. This isn't going to be detective Pikachu I can say that much.

    Really love the way your videos are layed out. You can tell alot of thought and care goes into them. Sonic generations was awesome! Reliving Speed Highway (Arguably the best stage in Sonic Adventure) was a pure sugar rush! The level choices representing each game are all pretty solid too, although there are a few substitutions I'd have liked to had seen. Namely, Casino Night as opposed to Chemical Plant. Or possibly Casino Park instead of Seaside Hill. I think I'm just deadset on a casino themed stage...Anyway, I just wish the developers had added more stages as opposed to missions. Sonic Team seems to do this more and more. Even Sonic Forces had lots of missions, but only really seven or eight zones. Running through these fast paced worlds is exhilirating, just tends to end a little sooner than I'd like. It would be great to see a Sonic game where all you do is complete levels, no missions, just levels. Ya know, like maybe fifty of them! You could still have the completionist bonus with thing like S ranks or red stars...but it would feel like a much longer, more fullfilling package. That's just my opinion though. Point is, Sonic Generations did strike a terrific balance between the old and the new. I for one, hope to own all the Sonic games one day!

    The first line of the video, "Sonic is nearly as old as I am" applies to me too! In my adulthood, my interests have spread out from just video games, so I only get to finish maybe one full-length game per year (and leave even more unfinished), and Sonic Generations was one of them. In a way, it succeeds by playing it safe and being about old levels re-introduced in 3D rather than having new mechanics and modes. I haven't bought a Sonic game since (although I hear Mania is good!) but the minute another *good* 3D Sonic game comes out, I'd be up for it.
