I like Sonic 06 I beat it like 9 years ago i really gotta get back into it. Mephiles made that game for me he's the best antagonist Sonic has ever had he actually succeeded in his goal.
The two adventure games truly are special. Sure they both have jenk but they also both have amazing music, loads of side content, epic finale bosses, a more serious narrative, and CRUSH40
Play Shadow the Hedgehog Expert Mode :> - You play every level in the game consecutively ONCE - All levels are now linear get-to-the-goal challenges - All levels are tweaked to be more difficult - Each level has new dialogue with characters offering support for Shadow, including some cool lore and humour Requires a save with all A ranks, so probably just download a save online :P (Also using the strafe mechanic can help a ton for platforming and combat) Would rly like to know what you think!
Investing in an original Dreamcast and copy of SA1 is honestly a really worthwhile option, if you enjoy the game that much. I did it recently, and it's fantastic. There's a really good aftermarket for the DC, so it doesn't take much effort to get the console working on modern TVs.
I almost bought a dreamcast recently a couple times but I ended up deciding against it. I bought a steam deck recently and I just ended up emulating Adventure 1 and 2 I have DX and Battle on the cube anyway but I wanted them on the go. I Love Adventure 1 a lot I did go to Ebay recently and I bought Adventure 1 for the Dreamcast $150 Sealed im hyped to have it in my collection.
With Knuckled and Omega in Heroes, they slide around a lot with their attacks. However, if you press the attack button without holding a direction on the control stick, they will not fall off a ledge.
I actually think Lost World on 3DS is a lot better than the main version! The team that did all the handheld Sonic games back then had an amazing grasp on how to make Sonic feel good to control. Same guys who did Sonic Rush!
dimps was kind of all over due to time constraints like they did well with advance 1, advance 2 was a step back and then 3 was a step forward again, rush trilogy was good but during the devlopment of colours ds they were also tasked to do sonic 4 and gens 3ds oof. if given the time they can do something really good
Haha that shoe commercial came outta nowhere 😂 perfect! Oh and that ”Lord of the rings” joke was proper dad tier 😌👌 Thank you for the retrospective sir! I remember the GBA having a fun Sonic game with some Chao farming minigames too 🤔
Shadow the hedgehog was actually one of my favorites of the franchise! I'm all for mature stuff and taking the sonic series in a more mature route was great to me! And also I'm probably the ONLY person in the world that vouches for sonic 06 lol idk why but I really loved that game lol
I’m surprised you didn’t mention that in the 06 manual, it mentions shields being in the game when there’s actually none to be found. As well as several other abilities that aren’t in the game, like Shadow’s Chaos Blast is supposed to cover 10ft around him but in the game it doesn’t even reach a single foot of distance.
Excellent overview of the series, Matty! Y'know, I really enjoyed the Sonic Unleashed demo and played it over and over when it came out, so I don't know why I haven't just bought the full game. I think I will do just that.
I adore Sonic Heroes. It was my childhood Sonic title, when I finally beat all storyline and somehow got that extra epilog, I thought it was the coolest shit out there.
Hey I just wanted to say after you play through Sonic Mania, here on UA-cam there was actually an official animated series made for it called Sonic Mania Adventures. There's a video that puts the first 5 episodes together on the Sonic UA-cam channel and Episode 6 was a bonus Christmas special. The episodes are short but I still think they're really good.
I started with Unleashed on the Wii and I thought it was ok, just wishing it had looked like the commercials. Then when the ps4 comes out with ps now I rented unleashed because you had to rent games on it back then. It blew my mind. The sonic game I had always wanted was right there. I was so happy and mad at the same time. Happy that I finally got to play the real sonic unleashed and mad that the sonic game I played most during my childhood was mid. 😭
When you say they have "learned" to put some colors in the manuals from adventure DX to adventure 2 battle, was it a figure of speech of did you forget DX came out 2 years AFTER adventure 2 battle? They actually regressed!
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle will always be the best sonic game of all time! It had style, music & a banging story 👌 p.s i also really miss epic game booklets 😭
There are some controls glitches in sonic & the black knight like lancelot (shadow's look-a-like) not stopping with attack onceyou buffer an attack while on a boat until he jumps of the boat automaticly what i believe is the only or atleast first no damage stage that i noticed it on making the stage litherally impossiblexwith lancelot but i switched to to sonic & he had that too but it wasn't as bad so it's like if it's always there but you know what causes the glitch, it's not to bad
Sonic 06 is a good game it is just broken if they released it polished what a game it would have been project 06 will indeed be a great thing when it’s finished
Sonic forces is not as bad as people say it’s got shorter levels yes the story is actually got great setup and moments I think infinite is cool but has a bad back story but overall the game is fun
I actually like Shadow the Hedgehog as a game and thing it's pretty good over all, but I DO think it could have been greatly improved by just taking all the stages and placing them in one linear story mode, with the game just tracking how many light/dark missions you did (only for the sake of the library's story variations) and giving you the Last Story after a single playthrough regardless of your choices..
I personally started with the classics, I actually had a Genesis growing up in the 2000's. I delved into the 3D games probably in my teens, and to this very day I have a huge love for this funny looking hedgehog. My personal favorite game is Unleashed. The true Adventure 3, in my opinion. It was even called "World Adventure" in Japan. Generations is pretty good though. I've never played '06, so I have no opinion on it. I don't think the Emerald tracker in SA2 is that bad, they're not that difficult to find. Shadow just has too many endings. I actually played Secret Rings, didn't like it that much. The Eggman being a "Feminist" thing was probably a mistranslation lol. I actually didn't mind Forces that much. But yeah, Sonic is my favorite series of all time. This blue boi has given us many great things to admire.
Fun fact. Sonic adventure 2 battle came out before adventure DX. That’s the reason why the tracker is better in DX than 2 Battle. They listened to the feedback and fixed it
Actually that isn't true. The radar tracked multiple emeralds in the original version of Sonic Adventure, and then only tracked one at a time in base SA2 on the Dreamcast.
For Sonic 1: I'd recommend checking out Sonic Forever, you need an APK of the mobile version tho, which is free For Sonic 2: Sonic 2 Absolute, requires an APK of the free mobile version Sonic CD: The & Knuckles mod on PC (it's unlisted, so you can grab the APK of the free mobile version and use the decompilation) Sonic 3&K: Sonic 3 AIR, requires a Genesis ROM of Sonic 3 The Advance games and the Rush games are also great 2D Sonic games to try! Advance 3 and Rush are my favorites of the post-Genesis (pre-Mania) 2D Sonic games.
My favourite sonic game is sonic the hedgehog 3 and knuckles it’s a fantastic game I think it’s the best sonic on the genesis along with sonic the hedgehog 2
Yeah, I'm baffled. Colors was seen as Sonic's return to form when it came out. I think people hate it because of what it heralded for the franchise moving forward, but that's a dumb mindset to have. Blaming Sonic Colors for Sonic Forces is like blaming Resident Evil 4 for Resident Evil 6.
I have tried to get into the 3D sonic games lately, I have had a really hard time with it. I just like 2D games for sonic so much more. The controls and movement in 3D just seem difficult to me.
Sonic Adventure 1 &2 are so goat'd. I grew up with Sonic 2&3/knuckles add on for genesis. Generations was good but still Adventure 1 did it right and could've been perfected tho they chose not to
Shadow the hedgehog does not play terribly it plays like heroes if you like heroes then you should like shadow gameplay it’s not the gameplay that’s an issue it’s how much you have to do to officially finish the game

So there is one boost game that you haven't played sonic colors (Wii)
Did u like the super Mario games they were good
A fellow 06 sympathizer it’s a pleasure to meet a man who Can appreciate the beauty of things enough to see past flaws
Same here, one of the best video game soundtracks from my childhood. And one of my first PS3 games.
I like Sonic 06 I beat it like 9 years ago i really gotta get back into it.
Mephiles made that game for me he's the best antagonist Sonic has ever had he actually succeeded in his goal.
The two adventure games truly are special.

The sonic riders aesthetic just fits sonic so well they really need to being it back 😩
32:10 reminds me so much of Dry Dry Desert in Mario Kart Double Dash. Like the exact same xD
Babe wake up Retro Rebound just uploaded something Sonic related

- You play every level in the game consecutively ONCE
- All levels are now linear get-to-the-goal challenges
- All levels are tweaked to be more difficult

Requires a save with all A ranks, so probably just download a save online :P
(Also using the strafe mechanic can help a ton for platforming and combat)
Would rly like to know what you think!
The fact Sega rendered cgi for the Dreamcast commercial with low poly characters at high resolution is amazing
Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Knights, Sonic Unleashed will all hold dear places in my heart 🥲
Yeah Sonic and the Black Knight is low key underrated played it last summer not that bad🤙🏽
Investing in an original Dreamcast and copy of SA1 is honestly a really worthwhile option, if you enjoy the game that much.
I did it recently, and it's fantastic. There's a really good aftermarket for the DC, so it doesn't take much effort to get the console working on modern TVs.
I still have mine from around 20 years ago, only use it for the adventure games. I'm incredibly lucky to have not sold it.
I almost bought a dreamcast recently a couple times but I ended up deciding against it. I bought a steam deck recently and I just ended up emulating Adventure 1 and 2 I have DX and Battle on the cube anyway but I wanted them on the go. I Love Adventure 1 a lot I did go to Ebay recently and I bought Adventure 1 for the Dreamcast $150 Sealed im hyped to have it in my collection.
The reason the adventure 2 manual is in color is cause its an early gc game while adventure DX came out later
It’s a good time to be a Sonic fan!
Sonic and the Black Knight is pretty underrated it’s a solid title..
With Knuckled and Omega in Heroes, they slide around a lot with their attacks. However, if you press the attack button without holding a direction on the control stick, they will not fall off a ledge.
😻 I'm loving sonic frontiers!! 💙 So happy he is back! Going to have show my favorite little hedgehog some love soon!!

Sonic generations needs to come to modern platforms and be remastered!
it is playable on series X via retro compat, it has been enhanced a little bit too with a better framerate and such
Another great video (watched to the end, thank you for the content!!)
I love Sonic Riders and Sonic mentions Jet and Babylon Garden in Frontiers
32:23 Matty spewing straight facts, same shit happened with the all stars racing series
Adventure, heroes, unleashed, and generations will always be the best modern Sonic games in my opinion
Yo this is the ultimate 90s baby video game channel for me . Never stop and maybe do some Dreamcast videos
Haha that shoe commercial came outta nowhere 😂 perfect!
Oh and that ”Lord of the rings” joke was proper dad tier 😌👌
Thank you for the retrospective sir!
I remember the GBA having a fun Sonic game with some Chao farming minigames too 🤔
58 minutes of Matty I've never been so happy
Shadow the hedgehog was actually one of my favorites of the franchise! I'm all for mature stuff and taking the sonic series in a more mature route was great to me! And also I'm probably the ONLY person in the world that vouches for sonic 06 lol idk why but I really loved that game lol
I spent more time in the chao garden playing the karate mini game then the main game never completed the story 🤣
I’m surprised you didn’t mention that in the 06 manual, it mentions shields being in the game when there’s actually none to be found.

The Wii version has a better final boss .
I have to say sonic adventure 2 was the game the got me into the franchise and my overall favorite of the series
Just a small thing to note, Sonic Team did not make any of the Boom games. Big Red Button was responsible for Rise of Lyric.
When you say they have "learned" to put some colors in the manuals from adventure DX to adventure 2 battle, was it a figure of speech of did you forget DX came out 2 years AFTER adventure 2 battle? They actually regressed!
I used to only be into 3D Sonic until one day I just realised I loved 2D Sonic
Sonic Heroes and the original Sonic Riders are our favorite Sonic games! 😊
Remembering the forgetables.
Frontiers looks great through!
Love your take on sonic riders, some people need to chill and just enjoy games lol ^^
Lost world is a good game bad story but game is amazing the levels are great realy colorful game also parkour was fun
I have fond memories of Sonic Unleashed and i LIKED the Warehog levels (YES I just said that!)
not a hot take nowadays they're pretty fun and if you just use guard cancelling super fast as well
you want a hot take, I enjoyed sonic and the black knight more than unleashed (unleashed is still okay though)
@@KUPSMusic your playing with fire there
@@KUPSMusic actually respectable opinion. You sir, are cool 😎
@@KUPSMusic I've seen hotter Sonic takes lol.
We gotta get my boy to 100k subs this channel is great!
Imagine a sonic 06 directors cut... shit would blow up the internet. At least this corner of it
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle will always be the best sonic game of all time! It had style, music & a banging story 👌 p.s i also really miss epic game booklets 😭
I want a new Sonic Riders vs the cart racers. It was soo good.
Sonic Adventure 2 came out 1st on Gamecube which is why the manual is in color. All the later ones like Sonic Adventure DX were gray manuals no color
Matty, Matty, Matty, Matty, Matty. You have GOT to watch Andor asap man! It’s incredible!
There are some controls glitches in sonic & the black knight like lancelot (shadow's look-a-like) not stopping with attack onceyou buffer an attack while on a boat until he jumps of the boat automaticly what i believe is the only or atleast first no damage stage that i noticed it on making the stage litherally impossiblexwith lancelot but i switched to to sonic & he had that too but it wasn't as bad so it's like if it's always there but you know what causes the glitch, it's not to bad
This man has more Shoe Sponsorships than Kanye West.
Sonic 06 is a good game it is just broken if they released it polished what a game it would have been project 06 will indeed be a great thing when it’s finished
Well you're not wrong.
Sonic Heroes theme is legendary
Woo Sonic!!!!
The best sonic turned based game is the sonic flash games. Found them super fun
Sonic forces is not as bad as people say it’s got shorter levels yes the story is actually got great setup and moments I think infinite is cool but has a bad back story but overall the game is fun
Ikr, like are we the only one who thinks the game is ok? Like I like the music more better than frontiers..idk if it’s just me
Those shoes in the promo look like Sonic's!

You have to watch Andor bro, it's absolutely peak fiction. The best writing in Star Wars since KOTOR2
Matty, my dude. Unleashed DOES have the drift move.
13:21 it's black and white because it's platinum edition
I thought my old PS2 version manual had color, just haven't seen it in a long time because my step dad gave it away about a decade ago
There are mods that fix some problems of SA2, like fixing the radar
I have always had a thing for Rouge... I am so weird.

Did you play Sonic Rush and Rush Adventure? I still am sad about the Bioware Sonic game
Yooo one hour video lets goooo
Sonic battle two hands down is the best sonic game ever created IDC on the 3D side of course.
Fun fact. Sonic adventure 2 battle came out before adventure DX. That’s the reason why the tracker is better in DX than 2 Battle. They listened to the feedback and fixed it
so the radar worked like Adventure 2’s in the Dreamcast version of Adventure 1 where it’s one at a time?
Actually that isn't true. The radar tracked multiple emeralds in the original version of Sonic Adventure, and then only tracked one at a time in base SA2 on the Dreamcast.

Someone needs to play Sonic Spinball!
The 16 bit version only. Stay away from the 8 bit lol
Sonic adventure DX came out after adventure 2 battle, wonder why they went backwards with the colour manual
Sonic riders was dope
I triple dipped with sonic mania, I bought the Japanese release because it included a soundtrack.
Sonic Frontiers feels good.
hell yeah dude
Didnt 2 come out before 1 on gamecube? Or am I trippin?
I love to see sonic riders 1 and 2 and generations and unleashed come out on switch
Do you own F-Zero GX I recently got that and it's a must have
Still waiting on that Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction video... Come'on Matty. If you have never played it pick it up.

Wait... where is sonic rush??
I want remakes for these gamed
anyone know where that intro is from?
@RetroRebound you gotta get ur hands on a copy of sonic rush. It was my first sonic game and I wanna know your thoughts on it.
I heard you like Sonic.
My favourite sonic game is sonic the hedgehog 3 and knuckles it’s a fantastic game I think it’s the best sonic on the genesis along with sonic the hedgehog 2
Jesus, people REALLY hate Sonic Colors now don't they?
Man, when that game came out it was seen as a refreshing surprise comeback for Sonic.
Yeah, I'm baffled. Colors was seen as Sonic's return to form when it came out. I think people hate it because of what it heralded for the franchise moving forward, but that's a dumb mindset to have. Blaming Sonic Colors for Sonic Forces is like blaming Resident Evil 4 for Resident Evil 6.
Only Dark Age fanboys or the majority of Classic Sonic fans hate Colors.
He doesn't hate colors, he even say the gameplay is good, it just the story and writing that bad, the game itself is cool
Can you make a video about dragon ball games based on the original series with kid goku

Sonic Adventure 1 &2 are so goat'd. I grew up with Sonic 2&3/knuckles add on for genesis. Generations was good but still Adventure 1 did it right and could've been perfected tho they chose not to
aint no way shadow the hedgheog was "players choice"
It was also "Ps2 greatest hits" lol. Too bad it didn't become platinum hits on Xbox lol.
I'd argue Sonic Adventure is more impressive than Mario 64.
Sonic '06 being $60 on the aftermarket is Grade A stupid. It was a $8 bargain bin game for like 15 years.
That's nothing lol The Xbox version of Shadow the Hedgehog goes $175 !
Are you not gonna review sonic frontiers then matty
Well Sonic 06 was delisted digitally by Sega, so physical was the only way to get it.
Girthy? Why you being so naughty lol!
What about colors? Wii
Shadow the hedgehog does not play terribly it plays like heroes if you like heroes then you should like shadow gameplay it’s not the gameplay that’s an issue it’s how much you have to do to officially finish the game
Yeah it’s a chore the only game to other than SA2 to be this big of a chore seriously..
Can you review Medal of Honor : Frontline on PS2?
Are you gonna review Sonic Frontiers?
Ultimate visuals do look much better people don’t have a clue what they were talking about
First time I've seen a video of yours that has incorrect stuff... Adventure DX came out after Adventure 2......
