The Japanese sonic box art looks so nice and timeless, it could be released today and would be perceived as modern-looking. They really had a sense for iconic and aesthetically appealing design.
@@TiberianFiend This has nothing to do with "remembering the 90s", it would still look modern and appealing today, while the other one looks, well... dated, to say the least. That's the thing about timeless art. Many album covers from the 60s and 70s completely fit into the style of these decades, but still look timeless and "not dated" on their own. They fit into the aesthetics oft their time but could also be released today. In my opinion, the same goes for the Japenese Sonic box design.
I think it’s funny how some fans refuse to call Eggman “Eggman” and only refer to him as his “true” name “Ivo Robotnik” even though his creators called him Eggman from the beginning
In case nobody has ever tried this, if you type "Dr. Robotnik" in Google Translate and translate it from English to Japanese, you can see that it translates directly to:「ドクターエッグマン」or Dr. Eggman if you will.
Because apparently "Dr. Ivo Robotnik" sounds more "evil" and "edgier". It's funny because they totally missed the whole point of Dr. Eggman. He is an evil scientist who captures Sonic's animal friends to make his own troops, effectively (or not) turning them against Sonic, and is apparently not as edgy as they all think. In all honesty, you can blame SEGA of America for burning the name to some of their faithful followers.
I refuse to use the name Eggman because Robotnik it the only name I knew for him and I grew up with Sonic games in this era as it was only japan who had the name Eggman at the time and to be honest the name Eggman sounds silly. I only found out the name Eggman from Sonic Adventure. Also I always wondered what that EG text on Wing Fortress meant for years and sonic Adventure explained what it was and why Robotnik is called Eggman being egg shaped and all.
I just replayed Sonic Adventure and noticed something. In this game, Sonic and his friends use the name Eggman a lot as a joke, but the man himself insists his name is Dr. Robotnik. It is very funny and I wish they had kept that.
I didn’t realize how great Sonic’s character design was until the beautiful hand drawn cutscenes of Sonic CD. The difference was so great that I never tried to draw western Sonic again after playing that game. They tried to hard to inject western Sonic with “cool and rad” that they actually managed to hide how cool his original design was.
AstonishingREDD you are completely right the Japanese Sonic was so much better then the American making him look cocky a little but fun and kinda serious when he needed to be but one thing I would give to the Americans is that they did really well making him look cocky and know it all and I actually really respect that about them
It's interesting how the Adventures tried to smooth out the transition from Robotnik to Eggman. First time he's called "Eggman" he appears to be upset by that, and still calls himself Robotnik, but freely calls his creations Egg-somethings. On Adventure 2 he is now full-Eggman but then it slams the shit out of you by naming his grandfather "Gerald Robotnik", thus making the Robotnik name officially part of the Japanese canon.
Yeah I always love how they did it. Things were called Egg Something even before he got the name, so you could say part of the reason Sonic calls him that is his apparent love of the things, that might be why he kept the name too. Also I saw someone else point out how his name also then becomes a parallel to Tails. One birth name that one group in dev preferred, one nickname that's more used that another group in dev preferred, both for our rival super geniuses.
Similar thing happened to Mario but in a more subtle way. JP called 2 characters Princess Peach and King Koopa while Americans called them Princess Toadstool and Bowser By Mario 64 toadstool became Peaches last name while Bowser was always known as King of the Koopas so you can also call him King Koopa or “King Bowser Koopa” Most people universally knows Marios princess as Peach but the name “Bowser” still hasnt caught on in Japan
@@trevortuominen8233You have that backwards. King Koopa is the japanese name, Bowser is the american one... well, the one used in game manuals and such. The cartoons used King Koopa.
I never got why SoA tried to make Eggman look scary- he's not supposed to LOOK intimidating, it's everything else surrounding him that makes him a threat. His jolly, wide-smile appearance juxtaposes how horrible he is and THAT'S what MAKES him scary.
For those of you who miss Sonic's Mohawk-spines, it should be noted that Jet the Hawk's hair does resemble a Mohawk, which also brings up the subtle idea that he's an “evil Sonic”.
That's awesome. Most sonic antagonists parallel him in some way whix i found really cool. Except Infinite but I dont feel like he's a sonic antagonists, more like the players/ created character's.

Guys, "Kintobor" = "Robotnik" spelled backwards. The sickness of 'original Sonic characters' was there before his first game even hit the shelves. It truly is a curse.
In general I really disliked the American story and designs for Sonic. The whole “planet Mobius, Conehead Robotnik, Mohawk sonic, etc” I’m really glad that Sega ditched a lot of that stuff as the series went on
Same, even worse with Mobius and the fact that it came from a mistranslation when Sonic 2 came out, it always felt so off to me and i grew with American Sonic, i just always preferred Japanese one since it wasn't so extremely tryhard or cringy, i mean "Christmas Island"? Sonic being from Nebraska? Mobius? Ivo Kintobor and so on? It felt so boring and souless to me, almost as if they thought i was so stupid i would be happy with anything regardless the quality or logic, meanwhile Japanese lore of Sonic was more consistente and interesting (too bad that's barely the case nowdays) but yeah, Japanese lore it's just infinitely better to me
Sonic Team ditched the Japanese backstory of Sonic, because none of them read the manuals. *Sonic Adventure does not even take place in the Genesis continuity, according to Iizuka.*
@@etherealhatred The Japanese lore is less consistent. Sonic Team never read the genesis manuals. They always hired writers that never played the games since the 1990s.
@@nanight2353 bad future, that means its supposed to be bad, while others songs like palmtree panic (present) is pretty good, while you can put the entire american ost on a sonic.exe fan game and you wont even notice
The one thing that Cybershell failed to point out in this video were the lore inconsistencies between the JP Sonic lore and the U.S. Sonic lore. The games followed the Japanese lore, which you can read in the manuals of the games. To make things short, the JP lore had a mythological feel to it, mentioning gods pulling the strings, ancient events causing the events of the games, a Shonen vibe to the series, and the games taking place on an alternate reality of Earth. Meanwhile, America had its own version of the lore, focusing on freeing a world from Dr. Robotnik, with it being inspired by American cartoons, and the setting was another planet called Mobius. By _Sonic Adventure,_ SEGA decided to make the Japanese lore canon, yet they didn't tell Americans what the lore was about! It felt jarring for American Sonic fans to see attributes that were only seen in the Japanese lore, such as Sonic having a more laidback personality, (and he wasn't eating chili dogs until _Sonic Advance 3,_ as stated in the manual,) Tails being the mechanic, replacing Rotor Walrus, and the fact that Sally was nowhere to be seen in the games. Honestly, I'll blame poor communication between two branches that were separated by sea. The thing I like about _Freedom Planet_ is that Galaxytrail was smart enough to keep their brains in one spot, allowing for the lore to be consistent across any region.
Poor communication WILDLY understates the situation inside Sega at the time. Part of Sega Japan had basically declared war on Sega America and was doing everything in their power to sabotage them because they were worried Sega America would become the main branch due to the wild success of the Genesis in America vs the faceplant of a release it had in Japan.
Fun fact: The in-game model for Classic Sonic in Sonic Generations and Forces is different from the one in the promotional renders, staying completely true to the Japanese design
Sega OF Japan: Sonic lives on Eart- Sega Of America: SONIC LIVES ON A PLANET CALLED MOBUIS FULL OF PEOPLE LIKE HIM. Sega Of Japan: Eggman is fat and it makes him look like an e- Sega Of America: HIS NAME WAS OVI KINTOBOR BUT EGGS AND CHAOS EMERALD ENERGY TURNED HIM INTO IVO ROBOTNIK.
Japan's rather odd with motivational methods like that, I remember the old Dragon Quest games had the goddess or God of that game talking to you the player, not the character in the game about what motivates you and how you view the world, and tells you to try to be positive and not blame others for your own insistence that everything is negative.. I mean jesus 30 something year old game.
@@TYR1139 thats the problem he wouldn't have. he was spoiled by his parents if his behavior and how he treats viewers is anything to sau, and if his story about demanding an X-Men toy was accurate they were too cowardly to severely punish him.
seeing the European covers being brought up was so nostalgic, as a kid I always liked Sonic one for being cute and cartoony, but Sonic 2 for being "cool" but was a little confused with the giant Robotnik and 2, never had Sonic 3 but had Sonic and Knuckles which used the black US one as a base went on for years thinking Sonic and Knuckles was Sonic 3 itself, and that they were so cool to add the ability to have Knuckles in Sonic 2!
I was so mad as a teenager spending my hard earned money on Sonic Racing to get that happy go lucky soundtrack and a lackluster racing game. Only time I regretted buying something Sonic.
Here’s one thing I never got, Japanese Classic Sonic’s different more turquoise shade (and is used for the Classic Sonic in generations and forces) while American Classic Sonic was the same shade of blue used for Modern Sonic today
The English paragraph thing also continues with the JP NiGHTS cover: "As you wander through the nightmare world, you recall all of your exciting experiences. You remember floating freely, smiling as you drifted through fantastic and beautiful lands. But you also recall fleeing in terror from the nightmare master... NiGHTS is an unfolding stage, a breathtaking adventure through fantastic but dangerous places. Courage and skill determine the outcome of your incredible dream."
4:00 186000 miles per second is actually 99.8% the speed of light, for reference. I know that they probably did that on accident, but it's nice to know that they're following cosmic speed limits with this fictional hedgehog
2:57 It’s probably just me but I feel more creeped out by Japanese Dr.Robotnik than the US version It’s his grin and overall charming appearance that makes me think of characters such as the millennium Earl from D. Gray man But I see eyeless robotnik and think “yo dude you ok? Did you lose your cane and wander from the retirement home? I can walk you back if you want.”
You know, for the longest time before I really got into Sonic, I always thought of Eggman as a joke villain and completely unintimidating. Like, at least Bowser is some giant turtle demon... thing. Then I played Sonic CD. Oh boy, the Bad Future levels really showed me how Eggman actually seems quite competent at turning the world into a hazardous polluted shithole if Sonic isn't around to stop him. EDIT: I actually appreciate this a lot. I like how Eggman outwardly gives off this goofy appearance and demeanor, but is still a genuine threat to the world.
@@LonelySpaceDetective Not to mention, the goofy look is easier to fall for than the demon look. It's easy to understand why Knuckles was tricked by Eggman, but stupid to believe King Acorn would trust Julian Kintobor due to the fact that he looks like an evil mustached version of Heavy Weapons Guy, who already looks intimidating. Also, Julian Robotnik's black & red glowing eyes and angry scowl? Not scary. Eggman's silhouette rising from the wreckage of the two mechs after his & Starline's battle where all we see of Eggman in the silhouette is his smiling teeth & the lenses of his glasses? WHY ELSE ARE WE TERRIFIED OF CLOWNS?!!! THAT SMILE ON HIS FACE IS HORRIFYING!!!
Yea... but Sega got its start in the US in Hawaii and was founded by an American. The innovation for games from both countries is really surprising when you actually take a look at what was done.
Why is a surprise to you that a character and franchise as popular as Sonic has die hard fans? I would be more surprised if it was the other way around
Absolutely! I'm so happy people other than me still care about him dearly cause everyone around me just despises him for no reason. Love the spikey blue boy
it warms your heart that a series that practically kept sega afloat for like 30 years is still popular? thats like saying its incredible that Mario games still come out to this day.
me too, i think the american design has a lot more personality shown through it. plus it’s what i grew up with lol so nostalgia obv. always loved how much attitude was put into it
It just kept cycling between a few Sonic Riders and Shadow the Hedgehog tracks. There was also that part where Sonic himself answered questions people had been asking about him. Meanwhile, Fang the Sniper was listed as a major character and one of Sonic's arch enemies, alongside Shadow.
Just some thoughts 6:55 - It is interesting considering that it isn't the only game to do that as Super Mario Bros 2 (Doki Doki Panic) became Super Mario USA in Japan. In this situation, it might be helped that Eggman's design in the game is the American Robotnik design along with Sonic appearance being more based on the American version. It might have helped Japanese players to understand why the game's design wasn't the same as the standard Sonic Team design. 7:21 - The European art for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is very odd. For starters, the title is just "Sonic 3" with a different font for the title (Compare the O in Sonic 3 to the first O in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The O in Sonic's name should be slightly tilted and not stretched out to the degree it is in Sonic 3.) The other oddities relate to the Chrome text for the word Sonic, the distorted pose for Sonic (the legs seem to be facing the right, but Sonic's head is slightly facing the left), and the odd background choice of Carnival Night Zone over Angel Island Zone.

I got a second hand MegaDrive which I think was originally from somewhere in Asia - it still worked with my UK PAL games but I had the Japanese version of Sonic 1. I so preferred the original Japanese Sonic to the strange shiny one present on my friends' games. Also, my year 9 geography teacher was a rotund bald man with glasses and a ginger moustache...
I've never understood why they changed Sonic's design on the box art in America. His original design already looks American as hell, with how it reminds of old American cartoons like Felix the Cat, yet they felt the need to change it????? Plus I think his American design looks worse. Also, I did notice the bigger eyebrows and the brow furrow of Classic Sonic in Generations! Though the brow furrow seems to only appear when he does certain expressions.
Natok the Watok I know Spyro was forced to have a redesign to be cuter for Japanese box art, because Insomniac made him too edgy looking for the target demographic/Culture. I think Japan did the same thing for America, making Sonic’s design more grittier and suitable for American culture at the time.
1:51 - *"During the '90s, no one was complaining."* Lemme just say that *as a 34 year old who was a '90s kid: I was **_definitely_** complaining.* I absolutely loved Sonic growing up, but I always abhorred the way he looked on the box art. It _always_ bothered me as to how he could look so cool in the game, but look like such a dork in related-artwork. But thanks to this video, now I know: American Sonic was a total dork that ruined the image of the character for me. 💯
I loooove the original Japanese design of Sonic. The way they brought it back with a couple minor tweaks for Generations was great though. I hope they make future games with that design.
@@juniorlewis3841 Yeah I agree. I like Dr. Robotnik with the round head and dark eyes. It really fits with his menacing contraptions that you have to fight.
I think the original Japanese design captures his overall character better. Eggman's supposed to be a bit comedic/playful while also being menacing/mysterious. Eggman's glasses achieve that soulless/creepy look while simultaneously somehow working for Eggman's "branding" of either making his inventions look like himself or slapping his logo on things. The US design only works as an evil Robotnik who's hellbent on skinning Sonic alive or something.

In general I really disliked the American story and designs for Sonic. The whole “planet Mobius, Conehead Robotnik, Mohawk sonic, etc”
I’m really glad that Sega ditched a lot of that stuff as the series went on
Was there any of it you liked?
I liked the name Mobius. I liked Robotnik being intimidating. Beyond that I agree.
Same, even worse with Mobius and the fact that it came from a mistranslation when Sonic 2 came out, it always felt so off to me and i grew with American Sonic, i just always preferred Japanese one since it wasn't so extremely tryhard or cringy, i mean "Christmas Island"? Sonic being from Nebraska? Mobius? Ivo Kintobor and so on? It felt so boring and souless to me, almost as if they thought i was so stupid i would be happy with anything regardless the quality or logic, meanwhile Japanese lore of Sonic was more consistente and interesting (too bad that's barely the case nowdays) but yeah, Japanese lore it's just infinitely better to me
Sonic Team ditched the Japanese backstory of Sonic, because none of them read the manuals. *Sonic Adventure does not even take place in the Genesis continuity, according to Iizuka.*
@@etherealhatred The Japanese lore is less consistent. Sonic Team never read the genesis manuals. They always hired writers that never played the games since the 1990s.
Oh my God, I never knew about the motivational text on the Japanese boxes! I am now enlightened. Thank you, Cyber Shell.
Neither did I. I'm embarrassed at myself.

The idea of a “Sonic Bible” is just insanely hilarious to me
Any intellectual property calls a a booklet of rules to follow a “design bible”. Lurk more fgt
The one thing that Cybershell failed to point out in this video were the lore inconsistencies between the JP Sonic lore and the U.S. Sonic lore. The games followed the Japanese lore, which you can read in the manuals of the games. To make things short, the JP lore had a mythological feel to it, mentioning gods pulling the strings, ancient events causing the events of the games, a Shonen vibe to the series, and the games taking place on an alternate reality of Earth. Meanwhile, America had its own version of the lore, focusing on freeing a world from Dr. Robotnik, with it being inspired by American cartoons, and the setting was another planet called Mobius. By _Sonic Adventure,_ SEGA decided to make the Japanese lore canon, yet they didn't tell Americans what the lore was about! It felt jarring for American Sonic fans to see attributes that were only seen in the Japanese lore, such as Sonic having a more laidback personality, (and he wasn't eating chili dogs until _Sonic Advance 3,_ as stated in the manual,) Tails being the mechanic, replacing Rotor Walrus, and the fact that Sally was nowhere to be seen in the games. Honestly, I'll blame poor communication between two branches that were separated by sea. The thing I like about _Freedom Planet_ is that Galaxytrail was smart enough to keep their brains in one spot, allowing for the lore to be consistent across any region.
Poor communication WILDLY understates the situation inside Sega at the time. Part of Sega Japan had basically declared war on Sega America and was doing everything in their power to sabotage them because they were worried Sega America would become the main branch due to the wild success of the Genesis in America vs the faceplant of a release it had in Japan.

went on for years thinking Sonic and Knuckles was Sonic 3 itself, and that they were so cool to add the ability to have Knuckles in Sonic 2!

It’s his grin and overall charming appearance that makes me think of characters such as the millennium Earl from D. Gray man
But I see eyeless robotnik and think “yo dude you ok? Did you lose your cane and wander from the retirement home? I can walk you back if you want.”
You know, for the longest time before I really got into Sonic, I always thought of Eggman as a joke villain and completely unintimidating. Like, at least Bowser is some giant turtle demon... thing.
Then I played Sonic CD. Oh boy, the Bad Future levels really showed me how Eggman actually seems quite competent at turning the world into a hazardous polluted shithole if Sonic isn't around to stop him.
EDIT: I actually appreciate this a lot. I like how Eggman outwardly gives off this goofy appearance and demeanor, but is still a genuine threat to the world.
@@LonelySpaceDetective Not to mention, the goofy look is easier to fall for than the demon look. It's easy to understand why Knuckles was tricked by Eggman, but stupid to believe King Acorn would trust Julian Kintobor due to the fact that he looks like an evil mustached version of Heavy Weapons Guy, who already looks intimidating. Also, Julian Robotnik's black & red glowing eyes and angry scowl? Not scary. Eggman's silhouette rising from the wreckage of the two mechs after his & Starline's battle where all we see of Eggman in the silhouette is his smiling teeth & the lenses of his glasses?

Just some thoughts
6:55 - It is interesting considering that it isn't the only game to do that as Super Mario Bros 2 (Doki Doki Panic) became Super Mario USA in Japan. In this situation, it might be helped that Eggman's design in the game is the American Robotnik design along with Sonic appearance being more based on the American version. It might have helped Japanese players to understand why the game's design wasn't the same as the standard Sonic Team design.
7:21 - The European art for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is very odd. For starters, the title is just "Sonic 3" with a different font for the title (Compare the O in Sonic 3 to the first O in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The O in Sonic's name should be slightly tilted and not stretched out to the degree it is in Sonic 3.) The other oddities relate to the Chrome text for the word Sonic, the distorted pose for Sonic (the legs seem to be facing the right, but Sonic's head is slightly facing the left), and the odd background choice of Carnival Night Zone over Angel Island Zone.
I too was horrified by Robotnik's empty eyes as a small lad.

I've never understood why they changed Sonic's design on the box art in America. His original design already looks American as hell, with how it reminds of old American cartoons like Felix the Cat, yet they felt the need to change it????? Plus I think his American design looks worse.
Also, I did notice the bigger eyebrows and the brow furrow of Classic Sonic in Generations! Though the brow furrow seems to only appear when he does certain expressions.
Natok the Watok I know Spyro was forced to have a redesign to be cuter for Japanese box art, because Insomniac made him too edgy looking for the target demographic/Culture. I think Japan did the same thing for America, making Sonic’s design more grittier and suitable for American culture at the time.
I think that while the Japanese design looked Western, it didn't look _90s_ Western.

@@juniorlewis3841 Yeah I agree. I like Dr. Robotnik with the round head and dark eyes. It really fits with his menacing contraptions that you have to fight.
I think the original Japanese design captures his overall character better. Eggman's supposed to be a bit comedic/playful while also being menacing/mysterious. Eggman's glasses achieve that soulless/creepy look while simultaneously somehow working for Eggman's "branding" of either making his inventions look like himself or slapping his logo on things. The US design only works as an evil Robotnik who's hellbent on skinning Sonic alive or something.
