Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy the deep dive into the world of Sonic Fan Games! If you wanna see EVEN MORE FAN GAMES, check out the sequel video! The Sonic Mega Fan Collection Plus! ua-cam.com/video/5IsAz13Dlh0/v-deo.html
@@firesnake4325 thank you so much!! If this video continues to do well then ill probably make a sequel to it and showcase a ton more amazing fan projects!
@Jetter06 Another Thing that I love about this is with this video I have discovered many new fan games I would not without you. Also Almost every UA-cam don’t really cover a lot of Sonic Fan games anymore
Sonic Legends lead dev here! Thank you so much for not only featuring our project with a BRILLIANT summary of our story synopsis, but to have HOURS worth of other projects to talk about here to boot! A number of which I have also had the fantastic opportunity to work on over the years! The fangaming scene has spanned multiple decades and the dedication, passion and talent of my fellow colleagues and devs is something that cannot be understated enough! It really felt like no stone was left unturned here and I cannot help but sincerely appreciate your effort in also helping signal boost a number of the games that were released outside of the two SAGE events in the past year! This has now easily become my go-to video to recommend newcomers in the scene with, should they want to be up to speed with how far we've come as a community!
Thank you so so much for your incredibly kind words! It means the world to me! I'm so happy I was able to showcase and go over all of these fantastic games, there are so many amazingly talented people in the fan gaming space, its just incredible, and I really wanted to give this video my all to get that point across and go over as many titles as possible! Also side note I'm suuuuuuper excited to see more of sonic legends and or any other projects you and your team might work on in the future, you all have done a marvelous job!
It’s honestly kinda crazy yet wholesome how many of the devs who did these fan games are coming in the comments to praise the video or give an update on how their games our doing. These devs worked really hard on these amazing games so you know a video is good when everyone is coming to support it
It really is super humbling, I am beyond grateful for all the kindness and support the devs and viewers have shown and I cant wait to show off more amazing fan projects as time goes on!
I’ve actually been on the Hunt for as many Complete 2D Classic Sonic Games as I can to eventually play alongside official classic games in a little Marathon - Quite a good video u got here ^^
Sonic Horizons dude here, thanks for the kind words! Progress is kinda stagnant right now due to school chugging away from my free time, but it's been happening, and there's a good bunch of stuff I'm working on to enhance the game further (wink wink combat)
Your welcome! you and your work deserve it! Horizons is an amazing game! Also I totally get it, life takes priority and besides, as they say! you cant rush art! Also I cant not wait to play the next major update for horizons!!! Seeing combat implemented is gonna be so awesome!!
Sonic Colors Demastered developer here! Thanks so much for the shoutout and I'm glad you liked the game! I'm working very hard to continue SCD's development and am currently targeting a completed release for Winter of this year. I've been very happy with how positively the demos have been received so far so I'm really looking forward to players getting to experience the rest! Thanks again for the shoutout! Also loved seeing all the other games you mentioned. I'd never even heard of the "Sonic Classic" games but kinda want to check them out now! (also, my username is pronounced "RAN-DUM-OSS-ITTY Gaming". There's an "o" in there after the "m" but it gets overlooked pretty often so you aren't the first to call me "Random City Gaming" and probably won't be the last, haha!)
Your welcome!! I'm glad I got the opportunity to include into this massive collection! ALSO a full release this year!?!? that's amazing!!! I cant wait to play it!! Also I'm terribly sorry for the mispronunciation 😅 next time I talk about SCD I promise ill get your name right!
Heyo! Its nice to meet you! Im gald I got the opportunity to talk about both of them! You and everyone else thats worked on these titles have done an amazing job and I really hope to see more from you in the future! Keep up fanatics work!!
Here from the Hyper Edition Team, thanks for showcasing and enjoying our game. We do some cooking lately, hope you will look forward for what the future holds. I can guarrantee more original stages and music. Hyper Edition started as "Blitz Community Edition" as Restless had stopped development and isn't part of Hyper Edition in any way. Hyper Edition is basically a few people from the Blitz Community not being able to accept the game's development ending, and continuing it in Restless' stead. Hope people can love Hyper Edition just like I and the others in the Hyper Edition Team did. Also we do balance updates/bugfix updates for the game and its competitive scene.
Your welcome!! I'm glad I got to showcase your amazing work, and thank you for continuing to develop this amazing fan game! I cant wait to see all the new stuff that's in store, Im sure its gonna be amazing!!
Hey Jetter, thanks for the Showcase! I'm glad you enjoyed Sonic 3D in 2D and its challenge! Also, thank you for touching on the unlockable characters and the achievements, it's something that usually gets overlooked!
Your welcome!! Sonic test labs has to be one of my all time favorite games and I speed run it on the regular so I was deafinity going to include it here! You and your team have done spectacular work on test labs and I cant wait to see what you all will make next!
@@michael4numbers I probably wont stack up all that well lmao xD But it still would be cool to see how others run through the levels and see their times! It would probably help me learn some better routes and optimization!
Wow! I really appreciate the praise for XG Classic. Don't feel like it earned some of it, considering the quality of its physics, but I'll take it, I guess. It's an okay romp to play to kill some time. I'll just rattle off a couple minute things here since I have quite the tendency to do that a lot when it comes to this project. - Classic the way it is now isn't representative of what I intend for the project as-is. The "abrupt ending" is... definitely something, but it's what Joseph and Euan _apparently_ planned so I just went along with it as-is, just throwing in an incredibly handwavy manner of restoring Angel Island because the rest of the timeline couldn't really operate (not without major changes, I mean) with the fallen Angel Island fragments littering Earth's oceans. Right now, the focus is on implementing completed iterations of currently incomplete levels (indicated by the blue strip on the level card instead of the usual red one). The levels which fall under this category are Chaos Central Act 2 (Layout), the entirety of Sunken Star and Furious Finale part 1 (Layout + Final Boss). - The amount of story details I was given to work with was... very little actually. What one sees in the 2007 demo was more or less all I had to work with aside from a particular detail in regard to "Metal Sonic giving Tails a one-way trip to Misty Maze act 4 without debug mode after the final boss". I've managed to draft out a rough story for what it's worth, so that's... _something_ at least.
I honestly really enjoyed my time with XG, I thought it was a great time! also its interesting to know the abrupt ending was actually planned! and its awesome that you have managed to created a set up for the story with so little to work on!
I take it you don't think the physics are up to par? It really appeared quite good in the video tbh, it certainly atleast has momentum based physics, unlike the OFFICIAL sonic 4, which had nothing of the sort. Maybe you feel the execution wasn't stuck but just seeing the demo gameplay here, I can tell that game looks amazing. That's the kind of 3D sonic game we deserve and actually want.. Big areas, momentum based gameplay that you can almost break and exploit, to it's design, that's what a sonic game is. Aslong as you can keep that momentum going and speed increasing or rolling up hills at slopes, that's great. I think another game with another 4 amazing stages would be awesome, with a better fleshed out story or cutscenes if possible, sonic GT legit looks like a game I would of adored back in the 2000's, and even now. I gotta get me a pc to start playing all these amazing games it's a must now screw the ps5 lol
When I was a kid I lived in Italy for a few years near a town called Lago Patria that had an arcade. That arcade had a Segasonic cabinet. When I moved back to the states I told them about that game but nobody believed me. It wasn’t released stateside and it was before the internet was in everyone’s homes. It’s so cool that people expanded on that isometric gameplay style.
Hey man. I watched the whole video, i really like your work. But you forgot to put Sonic Axiom in the 2d games. It's like a mix of Sonic 2 and Sonic CD, that is really charming and utterly underrated.
Great watch, brought some much needed attention to the Sonic fangame scene, thanks for this :) If you ever end up doing a sequel, I'd personally recommend Eggman hates Furries (okay so the comical name and crude humor of the game aside it's a really awesome boss rush title that's been a favorite of mine for years), Sonic Boom (an old Sonic Retro hack from back in the day, not the 2014 reboot series), Sonic Evolution (a fangame that was shown at 2016's sage which has always appealed to me so much), Sonic Fan Remix (a beautiful visually stunning 3d recreation of Sonic 2), and if flash games are something worth a tackle, I'd totally recommend the Final Fantasy Sonic X series and Sonic RPG series :) (especially the final batch of games from both of them)
Hi, great video! Just wanna say thanks for using some of my videos as background footage. It’s great to see others enjoying my videos and using them in their own.
@@akaithehedgehog I don’t know. There’s definitely outliers of community and twitter, despite me not using the latter. I feel like excluding Mania, Dream Team has been the only one in recent years that hasn’t been overly divisive. Frontiers comes in a close second perhaps but I feel that’s in part because of the DLC that helped it.
Here’s some constructive criticism: your biggest flaw I believe is your vocal performance. Every single sentence in this video is spoken with maximum excitement and joy. That is a problem because when something actually exciting happens and you want to express it, it will just sound the same as everything else you say. It’s like the boy who cried wolf. You sound excited when nothing that exciting is happening so when it does happen, it falls short of its impact and payoff. I suggest being more relaxed and down to earth for most of the video, but when something insane or jaw dropping happens That’s when you should use the excited voice. 👍👍👍👍
I appreciate your input and comment! xD though my voice is kinda like this 24/7 lol, its just apart of my personality to output at 100% and I get super excited talking about the amazing works by fans! but again I appreciate your perspective and comment!
@@Jetter06 oh I see, I thought you did it on purpose lol. I suggest maybe eventually practicing narration and vocal commentary skills and master your vocal cords in general so you can improve your vocal performance over time. 👍👍
Hello from the Omens team! I still smile every time I remember your super positive crazy energy, and I'm really happy to see our game in such a huuuuge video! Really, I lost count of how many games were mentioned, awesome job! Supermassive thanks from all Sonic fan-developers! ♥
Hi Omens team!!! Its great to hear from you again, I hope you all are doing great!! Im super happy I got the opportunity to talk about Omens again! Funny enough, when I was first making this video, omens was actually one of the first games I added to the collection! Thank you so much for the kind words and I hope I get to talk about your game again and or hear from you all in the future!!
@@LoginJ Omens team had permission to have a Patreon and develop the project straight from SEGA members. So if you need proofs or you're convinced that other rumors are true, you can read our studio response to controversy. Since I can't attach link to this message, you can easily find the link to this doc going to my channel and scroll down a community tab a bit.
@@JohnR1se I've seen the fall of Ouroborous Studio document, I've seen *SEVERAL* videos on the topic, so no, give me proof that SEGA said yes, without editing images or anything of that matter.
I thought I knew of all the good Sonic fan games, but this video proved me wrong! Excellent job here! It may be worth a mention for anyone with a PlayStation that the game DREAMS has some really impressive fan games within it such as Sonic Venture, Sonic Adventure Dreams Edition and more. Anyone with a PS4 or PS5 should definitely check them out!
Im glad I got to introduce you to a whole bunch of new games!! And thank you for the kind words!! I also plan on doing another major deep dive into sonic games in roblox and dreams as well as mods and romhacks so ill have to make sure to check those titles out!!
Well that was a massive video, that for some reason i watched all in one go. It is now 4 am. It actually gave me several ideas for fangames that i think would be cool to see come to life ! But I'm far from a game dev, having only game jam micro-experience ( literally a 2 minutes thing ) to my name. One day though I hope I can make the dream come true and contribute to the Sonic fangame scene ! So many incredible creative works you've listed !!
Thank you for watching the whole video! it means a lot and I hope you enjoyed it!! also If you put your mind to it, then you can achieve anything, im sure of it!
I know this fan game was cancelled nearly a decade ago, from what I recall, but I have to mention it regardless since it's forever my favourite fan game, Sonic Mecha Madness.
I mean there all free and they dont take up all that much storage so you have nothing to loose by checking out a few minutes of the ones that intrest you the most.
Great video @Jetter06. This is a superb collection. One question, you mention at about 1:35:05 that you have a previous version of Sonic Rebirth that is before the 3.0 beta that has a glitch and that you would have a link to it in the description, but I don’t see the link to it? Do you still have the game and have a link to it? I would really like to play Rebirth all the way through without the glitch. Thanks again!
no problem! docs.google.com/document/d/1othepvaxuhDcw0lEPPHZ5xMGo9S4Ehg0_D7bh2ojrFw/edit?usp=sharing its in the sonic mega collection doc that I created which I linked above, scroll down to the honorable mentions section to find sonic rebirth and you'll find a google drive link to it!
Hey man, this video was really amazing, loved all the explanations and even that cool menu overlay to breakdown the vid into different sections. Really good work man u earned a new sub :)
@@Jetter06 nah thank you bro :) i only just came across sonic fan games after looking up ways to emulate sonic unleashed/ colors and generations now i finally have a gaming machine. didnt know the community is so goddamn talented to make full games! im gonna run through some of the games you recommended. also would you happen to know much about the sonic final fantasy x6 games? used to play it in my early teens, not sure if its a full series or anything? and i'd love to hear history lessons and fan projects of all types of games and media from you, i really enjoyed it :)
Thank you so so much! This project has taken near 2 months to complete which is why there was such a huge lack of uploads, but your kind words make the work worth it!
For the honorable mentions: Sonic community and fans make those reality or expand or remake those I'll be so hyped especially sonic freedom omfg that's my dream sonic game but i understand reality sucks. But man toshi needs a full release fr.
There was this fangame called Sonic Neo Adventure that was super super good as I wish it got completely. Great controls, vibe and game feel. I still play from time to time.
1 issue about Sonic world & Sonic world DX though, because of it's engine you NEED to run it on windows to be able to play it at all (as far as i know)
I actually Had no idea that was even a problem! Is is there a particular reason why that's the case? does the engine just not run well on Mac or Linux?
@@Jetter06 yes that's exactly the thing On top of being quite an old engine It's only really compatible with windows, so if ya don't have a Windows platform, tben unless ya use a Windows emulator (example: wine) or something, you literally can't play it
Not a dev but like I hadn't heard of many of these fangames, especially the 2d ones, despite being so tuned in to what is usually happening at say, SAGE. Thank you for this really cool look at some of the community's best! It was a fun watch, and your positivity was awesome!
I'm not entirely sure if I missed these in the 2D game section, but I don't think you mention Sonic Emerald Ties. I guess it's inevitable that a few gems will fall through the cracks, but even if you don't make a video, I recommend enjoying it on your own time. It's a decent sized demo
I actually made a reference to Emerald ties at the end of the video when I talked about how there were still many other fan projects out there, I also included it in the extras page on the Sonic Mega fan collection document! I actually considered at one point but the video was already fully completed at that point so I decided to hold off on adding it so that way I have the opportunity to include it in a sequel video if this one did well enough!
Seeing Fepard's sonic fangames, you can really see where the signature style of Spark the Electric Jester originates from. Also Chrono Adventure seems like the point where the switch for Spark the Electric Jester was flipped.
Funny enough, Sonic frontiers came out after fallen star So as far as i know starfall island was either 1: a previously fanon location being made canon Or 2: by high coïncidence shares the EXACT same name 3: the name references the game Honestly though, i think it's the third possibility because frontiers starfall is nothing like fallen star starfall & come on, what are the chances of having the name 100% the EXACT same by pure coïncidence
Also, Sonic XG is being officially completely remade by a new team. The trailer was released about a few years ago on twitter, and there are a few sneak peaks of the new version of final fall. We haven't gotten a substantial update in a long time, so its unknown if it was silently cancelled. I've tried to look in other sites for more info, but no such luck.
one of the games worth mentioning is sonic overdrive on dreams mainly made for PS5 (dont worry still works on PS4 just at a lower framework than PS5.) by demigodstudios. the game has a really cool style and demigod said himself that sonic overdrive takes place after the events of sonic cd because of the chains on the ground. the sound track for the only full level in the demo called neverlake (or counting the tutorial) is good. The game looks really nice and the game has neverlake as a playable sonic cd intro. I recommend playing it.
I love when Sonic smackdown gets some love. We are indeed out here and still playing. It is just as fun as he says in the video ANDDDD we do run tournaments for it lol
- SonicTeam devs release a bunch of 3d sonic games over the last 25 years, most of which are just not fun. - So, Sonic fans make buckets of fun 2d / 2.5d Sonic games that are amazing and outshine most of SonicTeam's releases. - SonicTeam hires a fan game and Sonic game port creator to make Sonic Mania - Christian Whitehead. - They make Sonic Mania and it becomes the best selling and best rated Sonic game in ages. - Sega refuses to do Sonic Mania 2 because they want to get away from pixel art graphics. - SonicTeam then shut down the 2.5d Sonic Superstars that Christian wanted to make since he couldn't do the 2d game - SonicTeam Releases Forces and Frontiers to mediocre-to-bad reviews - SonicTeam then makes the original 2d Sonic Superstars (Mania followup) that they originally shut down without Christian's involvement to mediocre reviews - better fan games continue to get made I'm convinced Sega hates Sonic.
Id say it would be one of the best for sure! I do wish we could have seen the orginal envisioning of sonic mania back when it was called sonic discovery!
43:05 STARFALL ISLAND??? "*Thniking about Sonic Frontiers...*" Did this came out before or after? If before...Stardrop...you predicted the Starfall Islands in Frontiers...if after...HE STOLE DA NAAAAME
i have sonic triple trouble 2 tip there is a soundtrack 2 of them switches sonic and knuckles color for red sonic (1,25,1,25) for blue knuckles (6,19,94,2,2)
I wouldn't mind listening to which mods are your favorite for SRB2, even I have fun and I am on a phone! And I am looking forward to an, I kid you not, A Sonic X Sonic character to play as!
sonic robo blast 2 has a github you can use to play in school or without downloading and can still use mods and i also cant wait for the sonic x mod in december

Omens fans are rare nowadays but at least there’s some
It’s more so Omens fans that allow people to dislike Omens without taking it as a personal attack that’s rare.
@@Butwhythough881 true but that’s just the Sonic community in general especially Twitter
@@akaithehedgehog I don’t know. There’s definitely outliers of community and twitter, despite me not using the latter. I feel like excluding Mania, Dream Team has been the only one in recent years that hasn’t been overly divisive. Frontiers comes in a close second perhaps but I feel that’s in part because of the DLC that helped it.
Here’s some constructive criticism: your biggest flaw I believe is your vocal performance. Every single sentence in this video is spoken with maximum excitement and joy. That is a problem because when something actually exciting happens and you want to express it, it will just sound the same as everything else you say. It’s like the boy who cried wolf. You sound excited when nothing that exciting is happening so when it does happen, it falls short of its impact and payoff. I suggest being more relaxed and down to earth for most of the video, but when something insane or jaw dropping happens That’s when you should use the excited voice. 👍👍👍👍
I appreciate your input and comment! xD though my voice is kinda like this 24/7 lol, its just apart of my personality to output at 100% and I get super excited talking about the amazing works by fans! but again I appreciate your perspective and comment!
@@Jetter06 oh I see, I thought you did it on purpose lol. I suggest maybe eventually practicing narration and vocal commentary skills and master your vocal cords in general so you can improve your vocal performance over time. 👍👍
take a shot every time he says "fairly" lol
nah I rate the keenness and hype. literally been ignoring triple trouble but shiiii~ I'm downloading that mofo as we speak
Hello from the Omens team!
I still smile every time I remember your super positive crazy energy, and I'm really happy to see our game in such a huuuuge video! Really, I lost count of how many games were mentioned, awesome job! Supermassive thanks from all Sonic fan-developers! ♥
Hi Omens team!!! Its great to hear from you again, I hope you all are doing great!!
Im super happy I got the opportunity to talk about Omens again! Funny enough, when I was first making this video, omens was actually one of the first games I added to the collection!
Thank you so much for the kind words and I hope I get to talk about your game again and or hear from you all in the future!!
Ew, didn't this game have some sort of Patreon? Didn't this game steal a song from... Cars the Video Game of all things?
@@LoginJ Omens team had permission to have a Patreon and develop the project straight from SEGA members. So if you need proofs or you're convinced that other rumors are true, you can read our studio response to controversy.
Since I can't attach link to this message, you can easily find the link to this doc going to my channel and scroll down a community tab a bit.
@@JohnR1se I've seen the fall of Ouroborous Studio document, I've seen *SEVERAL* videos on the topic, so no, give me proof that SEGA said yes, without editing images or anything of that matter.
@@JohnR1se Probably should have phrased that better...
I thought I knew of all the good Sonic fan games, but this video proved me wrong! Excellent job here!
It may be worth a mention for anyone with a PlayStation that the game DREAMS has some really impressive fan games within it such as Sonic Venture, Sonic Adventure Dreams Edition and more. Anyone with a PS4 or PS5 should definitely check them out!
Im glad I got to introduce you to a whole bunch of new games!! And thank you for the kind words!!
I also plan on doing another major deep dive into sonic games in roblox and dreams as well as mods and romhacks so ill have to make sure to check those titles out!!
Your enthusiasm is infectious. Love it.
Thank you so much!!
Well that was a massive video, that for some reason i watched all in one go. It is now 4 am.
It actually gave me several ideas for fangames that i think would be cool to see come to life ! But I'm far from a game dev, having only game jam micro-experience ( literally a 2 minutes thing ) to my name.
One day though I hope I can make the dream come true and contribute to the Sonic fangame scene ! So many incredible creative works you've listed !!
Thank you for watching the whole video! it means a lot and I hope you enjoyed it!!
also If you put your mind to it, then you can achieve anything, im sure of it!
I know this fan game was cancelled nearly a decade ago, from what I recall, but I have to mention it regardless since it's forever my favourite fan game, Sonic Mecha Madness.
Oooo! I havent heard of that one! Ill have to check it out!
Thank you for this. I've been eyeing a few of these and needed this kind of video to decide how to prioritize.
Im glad I could help!!
I mean there all free and they dont take up all that much storage so you have nothing to loose by checking out a few minutes of the ones that intrest you the most.
Great video @Jetter06. This is a superb collection. One question, you mention at about 1:35:05 that you have a previous version of Sonic Rebirth that is before the 3.0 beta that has a glitch and that you would have a link to it in the description, but I don’t see the link to it? Do you still have the game and have a link to it? I would really like to play Rebirth all the way through without the glitch. Thanks again!
no problem!
docs.google.com/document/d/1othepvaxuhDcw0lEPPHZ5xMGo9S4Ehg0_D7bh2ojrFw/edit?usp=sharing
its in the sonic mega collection doc that I created which I linked above, scroll down to the honorable mentions section to find sonic rebirth and you'll find a google drive link to it!
Thank you very much 😊
So much beautiful work! Thanks for summarising this all!
Hey man, this video was really amazing, loved all the explanations and even that cool menu overlay to breakdown the vid into different sections. Really good work man u earned a new sub :)
Thank you so much!
@@Jetter06 nah thank you bro :) i only just came across sonic fan games after looking up ways to emulate sonic unleashed/ colors and generations now i finally have a gaming machine. didnt know the community is so goddamn talented to make full games!
im gonna run through some of the games you recommended. also would you happen to know much about the sonic final fantasy x6 games? used to play it in my early teens, not sure if its a full series or anything?
and i'd love to hear history lessons and fan projects of all types of games and media from you, i really enjoyed it :)
you made me play sitfs for the 5th time and man is this a banger still after alot of gameplayes
What game is this an acrynoym for?
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS TYPE OF VIDEO FOR SO LONG. THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING ME ALL THESE AMAZING GAMES! I SUBSCRIBED
Your welcome!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
I fricking LOVE your videos and I really admire all of the work you put into them, keep up the good work brother👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so so much! This project has taken near 2 months to complete which is why there was such a huge lack of uploads, but your kind words make the work worth it!
@@Jetter06 You are killing it, keep doing what you do. Your energy and enthusiasm is contagious and I love it
For the honorable mentions: Sonic community and fans make those reality or expand or remake those I'll be so hyped especially sonic freedom omfg that's my dream sonic game but i understand reality sucks. But man toshi needs a full release fr.
for real! Sonic freedom is so cool and sonic hoshi is also amazing! all of the projects in the H.M. section definitely deserve a revival!
There was this fangame called Sonic Neo Adventure that was super super good as I wish it got completely. Great controls, vibe and game feel. I still play from time to time.
Ill have to check it out sometime! Its sounds interesting!
5:35 time to take things out of contacts
🤣🤣 LMAOOOO
1 issue about Sonic world & Sonic world DX though, because of it's engine you NEED to run it on windows to be able to play it at all (as far as i know)
I actually Had no idea that was even a problem! Is is there a particular reason why that's the case? does the engine just not run well on Mac or Linux?
I set it up on my Steamdeck using Lutris before I got an external SSD and put windows on it. Linux can work but requires some tinkering
@@Jetter06 yes that's exactly the thing
On top of being quite an old engine
It's only really compatible with windows, so if ya don't have a Windows platform, tben unless ya use a Windows emulator (example: wine) or something, you literally can't play it
@@Jetter06i know it's quite late for this but i figured out the engine Sonic world uses, it uses the blitzsonic engine
Thought Sonic Quantum Collision might have been cancelled, thanks for sharing the update. Subbed!
Not a dev but like I hadn't heard of many of these fangames, especially the 2d ones, despite being so tuned in to what is usually happening at say, SAGE. Thank you for this really cool look at some of the community's best! It was a fun watch, and your positivity was awesome!
Wow. Sonic classic 2 looks nuts! Thanks for putting this video together. Can’t wait to try these.
I'm not entirely sure if I missed these in the 2D game section, but I don't think you mention Sonic Emerald Ties. I guess it's inevitable that a few gems will fall through the cracks, but even if you don't make a video, I recommend enjoying it on your own time. It's a decent sized demo
I actually made a reference to Emerald ties at the end of the video when I talked about how there were still many other fan projects out there, I also included it in the extras page on the Sonic Mega fan collection document! I actually considered at one point but the video was already fully completed at that point so I decided to hold off on adding it so that way I have the opportunity to include it in a sequel video if this one did well enough!
Seeing Fepard's sonic fangames, you can really see where the signature style of Spark the Electric Jester originates from. Also Chrono Adventure seems like the point where the switch for Spark the Electric Jester was flipped.
I cannot find the game. But I remember seeing this really cool fan game of Sonic in a Super Mario styled world
I remember seeing something about that years ago! I gotta see if i can find it again
Funny enough, Sonic frontiers came out after fallen star
So as far as i know starfall island was either 1: a previously fanon location being made canon
Or 2: by high coïncidence shares the EXACT same name
3: the name references the game
Honestly though, i think it's the third possibility because frontiers starfall is nothing like fallen star starfall & come on, what are the chances of having the name 100% the EXACT same by pure coïncidence
Imma just believe that sega just made fallen star canon lmao xD
But that is super intresting! I never even realized that they had the same name!
52:31 to avoid spoilers of forces overclocked
Wait is Sonic Triple Trouble 16 bit consider “Sonic After Another sequel”? They could tie it in before Knuckles story in Sonic 3&K
I like that idea! That's just gonna be apart of my head canon now lol
Spoiler Skipper
TT16BIT: 5:43
XG: 28:32
BTS: 31:38
ATS: 35:57
Fallen Star: 46:17
Overclocked: 52:31
Omens: 59:19
1:19:39 I was NOT expecting my game to be in this video lmfao
Lol, Im happy i got to show it off! Even if it was for a short time!
Sonic Robo Blast 2 is theeeee fangame
2:10:13 ADDED ability? Knuckles was playable in the original.
Oh my gosh, so many talented mod creators in these comments, that’s awesome
IKR!?!? Its was so cool to see so many amazing fan created works!
Hi custom stage creator for riders X and team member of Sonic Battle R. Thanks for showing loves to those games and every other game
Also, Sonic XG is being officially completely remade by a new team. The trailer was released about a few years ago on twitter, and there are a few sneak peaks of the new version of final fall.
We haven't gotten a substantial update in a long time, so its unknown if it was silently cancelled. I've tried to look in other sites for more info, but no such luck.
Sonic may have a lot of fan games. Just wait until you come in contact with five nights at Freddy.
Still love sonic
one of the games worth mentioning is sonic overdrive on dreams mainly made for PS5 (dont worry still works on PS4 just at a lower framework than PS5.) by demigodstudios. the game has a really cool style and demigod said himself that sonic overdrive takes place after the events of sonic cd because of the chains on the ground. the sound track for the only full level in the demo called neverlake (or counting the tutorial) is good. The game looks really nice and the game has neverlake as a playable sonic cd intro. I recommend playing it.
Sonic Omens 🎉
Sonic Omens!! 🎉🎉🎉
Sonic Omens
Yeah no.
“…the voice acting was extraordinarily good!”
And now I question everything being said in the video.
Can’t wait to try triple trouble 16 bit
Im sure you will love it!!
Sonic omens🥳
Same Either!
Damn, with the Sonic mega fan collection doc, you essentially made a Sonic fangames, in the form of a Sonic fangames collection doc LMAO
I’ve found so many amazing games on here Dimensions might be my favorite! Trying Omens tomorrow but I’ve beaten 12 others xD
Im glad you were able to find so many games you enjoyed! Hopefully you'll find even more games to play when the sequel video drops!
For me Is "Sonic Omens" The Top!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌👌 (I still don't like the people's controversy)
hey jetter did you use kbm or controller because in sonic gt my controller was looking up and turning for some weird reason pls help
Thanks for sonic world dx i give it a try
10:27 do not install this game. it flagged my antivirus about 50 times and then wouldnt let me delete.
Wait really? ill have to look into this
...No? I played Sonic USB a LOT, and deleted a lot because every 2-3 day n update comes which you have to delete the main file to use.
If SEGA Studios was invented in the UK
Still waiting for the day something I made shows up in one of these Sonic fan game compilations 🤞
I jumpscared Jetter to get this video out faster for you all
Lmao this is the truth
You should try out either the Omni Khaos/Thirdscape games or the Epoch games (Both the DOS and GBA versions) Great Fan Games!
Sounds interesting! Ill have to give them a look!
Not a dev here, I just wanted to say cool video :)
Thank you!!
I’m glad bro made this video I’m lazy and was looking for more fangames 😹😹😹
Im glad I could help!
Why isnt hellfire saga on here. It won the sonic community con
I didnt even know that existed till you mentioned it 😅 but if i ever make a sequel to this video then i would totally include it!
I love when Sonic smackdown gets some love. We are indeed out here and still playing. It is just as fun as he says in the video ANDDDD we do run tournaments for it lol
a REALLY cool video, thank you
Thank you so much!!
this video was very informative and give great depth to these awesoe great games and collasal shout out to the fans and gamers
Great video! If you do a sequel, include Sonic SMS Remake series of games, which I think is damn cool new take on 8-bit Sonic
Thank you! and ill for sure have to give a look into Sonic SMS games!
@@Jetter06 sonic-sms-remake.blogspot.com/
- SonicTeam devs release a bunch of 3d sonic games over the last 25 years, most of which are just not fun.
- So, Sonic fans make buckets of fun 2d / 2.5d Sonic games that are amazing and outshine most of SonicTeam's releases.
- SonicTeam hires a fan game and Sonic game port creator to make Sonic Mania - Christian Whitehead.
- They make Sonic Mania and it becomes the best selling and best rated Sonic game in ages.
- Sega refuses to do Sonic Mania 2 because they want to get away from pixel art graphics.
- SonicTeam then shut down the 2.5d Sonic Superstars that Christian wanted to make since he couldn't do the 2d game
- SonicTeam Releases Forces and Frontiers to mediocre-to-bad reviews
- SonicTeam then makes the original 2d Sonic Superstars (Mania followup) that they originally shut down without Christian's involvement to mediocre reviews
- better fan games continue to get made
I'm convinced Sega hates Sonic.
Except 3d is better than 2d
You should make a video on sonic rom hacks next
no joke, im already working on a massive list for sonic rom hacks and mods xD
@@Jetter06 cool, make sure to include sonic megamix. It’s fun
Is Sonic Mania the best finished 2D fangame, if it counted?
(My favorite otherwise in 2D finished game would be Triple Trouple 16 Bit.)
Id say it would be one of the best for sure! I do wish we could have seen the orginal envisioning of sonic mania back when it was called sonic discovery!
Im curious, what was that Sonic fangame that was in yhe intro but was an RPG? In 0:15
That would from a fan game called Sonic RPG episode 10! Its a very long running fan game with episode 10 being the finale of the series!
@@Jetter06 thank you!
43:05 STARFALL ISLAND???
"*Thniking about Sonic Frontiers...*"
Did this came out before or after?
If before...Stardrop...you predicted the Starfall Islands in Frontiers...if after...HE STOLE DA NAAAAME
The Sonic Legends story kinda reminds me of Undertale's fandom (specifically Underverse)
Now that you mentioned it, It reminds me of that too!
25:58 What song is that it's so good please
It was a song from sonic XG called Wood Works Zone act1
here is a link to the track!
ua-cam.com/video/oztMRN5nzx0/v-deo.html
i have sonic triple trouble 2 tip there is a soundtrack 2 of them switches sonic and knuckles color for red sonic (1,25,1,25) for blue knuckles (6,19,94,2,2)
I wouldn't mind listening to which mods are your favorite for SRB2, even I have fun and I am on a phone! And I am looking forward to an, I kid you not, A Sonic X Sonic character to play as!
I would love to do a major dive into SRB2 sometime in the future! That video will be huge though lol xD
I can’t wait for Sonic Hysteria to release
sonic robo blast 2 has a github you can use to play in school or without downloading and can still use mods and i also cant wait for the sonic x mod in december
What about Sonic Momentum…
Thats actually already in the video! Its apart of the upcoming section!
Nice video ! :)
Thank you!!
THE CHAD HIMSELF, THE SONIC USB CREATOR
Great video!!! 👍👍👍
Sonic forces overclocked is a fan game because it is in this video.
We need more fangames about me GOTY

I had no idea it existed till people started to mention it! Ill have to check it out for the sequel video!
These are the best sonic games ive ever scene 😂 come on sega
0:07 FNAF has joined the chat.
Dude ihave sonic triple trouble 16 bit on my phone

Anything on this list I can play on Linux?? Lol (nvm found Sonic Robo 2 on Flatpak..!)
super saiyan eggman is the greatest boss in the history of gaming.
