0:30 Fans call the prototype Sonic design "Feels the Rabbit" because the concept for the rabbit was used again in a prototype for the 1995 cult-classic SEGA Genesis game, Ristar. The prototype name was called Feel, which is why the fan-base calls the Sonic Prototype design Feels the Rabbit.
This is so freaking amazing! This age should be called the Renissance Age for video game revivals, considering how much beta/unused/cut content is being revived and brought back!
If Disney can bring back Oswald then Sega can do the same thing! I hope Feel The Rabbit becomes a canon character of the franchise like if he meets Sonic in a Multiverse game.
And if there ever was a Sonic Multiverse game or movie or show (unrelated to Prime) I guess Movie Sonic is like Tom Holland, Boom Sonic or Modern Sonic is like Andrew Garfield and the Dreamcast or 4Kids Sonic is Tobey Maguire. I'd imagine movie Sonic needing help with a big threat and needing more Sonics to help
@@jaycerrito3142 well that sounds like a good idea but it can't 3 Sonic. I mean I'm not saying that it bad but It cannot be like a No Way Home stereotype. It's got to be a Across The Spider-Verse stereotype and by that I meant having all Sonics from different universes (From the comics and different versions like evil female kid and you know the rest) like it could be the biggest crossover.
Now all we need is Boomer The Turtle as an unlockable skin. (Some context: Boomer The Turtle was a commissioned sidekick for Sonic that would’ve used his jet powered shell that Sonic could ride on to go across spikes.)
The Sonic series really likes to bring back old characters in new things like Mighty and Ray in Sonic Mania Plus, Fang in Superstars, and etc. It’s really cool seeing him finally return in official Sonic media.
i really like the old sonic!!! he looks really cute and cuddly! i think this is literally going to be *AMAZING* to see this character in it, HES ADORABLE!
If he's credited for designing Sonic, imagine if Sega decides to make this rabbit an actual character and they give him the task to write his personality and origins to develop this character? he would turn out as good as Knuckles! one can only dream... 😌💭🐇
I’m all for Sonic prototype stuff, especially levels. Awesome music, gimmicks, enemies and visuals all going to waste just because it is either too time consuming or something the player wouldn’t enjoy. Edit: Also people don’t know why Sonic was originally a rabbit? Haven’t they heard of the tortoise vs the hare?
Sonic Overture is probably for what you are looking at, it's 2014 fangame which features prototype things from sketches, like the Rabbit or early Dr. Eggman's design with pajama
@@Davo255_ Ohhhh I’ve heard of Sonic Overture but not a lot. It sounds super fun though. It’s amazing what the community can do with concepts that weren’t ever meant to see the light of day
Fun Fact: The idea of this character being able to grab objects was later given to Ristar, another Sega franchise. I really hope there's a Ristar skin in the future.
"We've come full circle" -Vailskibum 2024 That's a brilliant way to end the video on. ^^ Anyways... very smart move on Sega's part and in respect to the history of Sonic. ^^
I literally at 4am when I saw a ad advertising Sonic Superstars and when I saw the rabbit I was screaming YEEEEEEEEEEEEES! YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEES! HES BACK BABYYYYY! WOOOOOOOO!
Gotta love the original Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic Superstars--and I may haven't played the game since Sonic Colors, I guess I'll be giving Superstars a try!
This is amazing. Sonic Superstars looks like a really fun game, and I’m glad to see Sonic is actually coming back. Not gonna lie, I lost hope for the blue blur back when Sonic Forces initially released, so the fact that every game after that so far has looked good shocks me. Also, it’s not every day that a skin for a prototype version of a character is available for use! The fact that we can actually play as Feels in some way is just awesome.
That's cool and all but the rabbit skin and all the other stuff in digital deluxe isn't worth paying extra imo (source: I bought digital deluxe in sonic origins, and that permanently ruined digital deluxes for me)
A new 2D Sonic and new 2D Mario game in the same month, we are FEASTING tonight
oh yeah
Cool
We sure are dude :D
YES!
yes
Feels is Oswald’s cousin.🗿
disney cannot debunk this, it is fact
maybe
Yes
This is cute but I'm happy that sonic is a hedgehog!
Fr
It's great to see Sega honoring their past legacy like this, especially with Oshima back on board. I can't wait to see "Feels the Rabbit" in action.
Same.
Agreed
I like sonic's first rabbit design!
Feels the rabbit?
Guess thats less intimate sounding than Cream the rabbit.
I thought they just called him Sonic

i agree
Would love to see a Phantasy Star anime for Sega's Renaissance
Dubious Depths for Sonic Superstars, anyone?
Especially for the film adaptations.
Both for Mario and Sonic, especially the 2nd movie from last year.
And the third coming out late next year.
He look weird
"Feel the Rabbit" was the prototype name of Ristar, where they originally reused the rabbit design from Sonic.
okay
@@teresa-hb3qn this is literally the most amazing response i've heard.
please make more comments
?
@@cyleornfr
coolest reply ever I encourage you to make more replies like this@@teresa-hb3qn
Waiting for a crossover between this original Sonic and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit for Disney's 100th
same
Since Oswald is public domain and as long as Sega is able to dance around the trademarks limitations, there's actually nothing legally stopping them
If Disney can bring back Oswald then Sega can do the same thing! I hope Feel The Rabbit becomes a canon character of the franchise like if he meets Sonic in a Multiverse game.
Yeah then modern sonic can roast the awfully wrote sonic boom version of him.
And if there ever was a Sonic Multiverse game or movie or show (unrelated to Prime) I guess Movie Sonic is like Tom Holland, Boom Sonic or Modern Sonic is like Andrew Garfield and the Dreamcast or 4Kids Sonic is Tobey Maguire.

@@Cubeytheawesome It's will be the other way around boom sonic is a jerk and he extremely sarcastic
@@Aigle662frileux yeah but he still has shit writing.
Can't wait to see it in action.
same
Me too!
Now all we need is Boomer The Turtle as an unlockable skin. (Some context: Boomer The Turtle was a commissioned sidekick for Sonic that would’ve used his jet powered shell that Sonic could ride on to go across spikes.)
Ok Boomer.
And we need Sonic’s old bandmates with vector

The old design looks adorable
ikr
i really like the old sonic!!! he looks really cute and cuddly! i think this is literally going to be *AMAZING* to see this character in it, HES ADORABLE!
It's Awesome to see them bring back the original design for Sonic. Definitely can't wait to see Feels the Rabbit back in action.
Now imagine that one Epic Mickey cutscene where Mickey confronts Oswald, but with Feels the Rabbit & Classic Sonic.
Ive had nothing, but this giant pile of your stuff.
The fact that they decided to bring back Max is amazing(Feels was Ristar, Oshima called proto Sonic Max)
If he's credited for designing Sonic, imagine if Sega decides to make this rabbit an actual character and they give him the task to write his personality and origins to develop this character? he would turn out as good as Knuckles! one can only dream... 😌💭🐇
I’d honestly love to see him in action
Ngl in my head canon for him is he's Sonic's older brother (sonic is adopted)
Perry the bunny
“I hate that Rabbit!”
The Bunny character is called Feels because the game that later used his grabbing mechanic (Ristar) was originally just called "Feel"
Nice!
Thanks for giving us Sonic news, we Sonic fans appreciate it! 👍
This news really does give you the *”Feels”* , am I right?
*Loads shotgun* HAHAH... FUNNY JOKE.... EHEHEHEH....
never heard about Feels till now
The red nose and mouth shape made him look like a discount Doraemon
This is amazing.. I’m so happy rn
Same
No
Everyones talkin about the skin but im hyped about the grey metal sonic 😮
It is called Mecha Sonic MK1 (or silver sonic) and is from sonic 2 for the megadrive (or genesis)
@@CybertrooperOfficial thanks
Everyone: OMG FEELS THE RABBIT (GASP) ELEPHANT MARIO!!!
ME: this is sonics version of Mario wonder
The original rabbit is returning and it’s awesome
A friend of mine told me about the original design for Sonic actually ^^
Man that sounds absolutely amazing I can't believe his original design is back😄😃🎉🎉🎉
Yeah my sister show me it when the game was announced at the summer game awards and I said that sonic original design
"Guess who's back.... Back again"
The design is giving me major Oswald vibes and I'm all for it
same
Nah he giving me doraemon vibes
Sonic was inspired by Felix, so it wouldn't be THAT surprising if Feels was inspired by Oswald.
Can't forget lego and how They're doing more sonic than hedgehog stuff.
I hate myself for pre ordering the base game before digital deluxe was announced, and I am hoping you can still get it as DLC.
ITS RABBIT SEASON
DUCK SEASON!
RABBIT SEASON
@@ToganzLikesToAnimateYTDUCK SEASON
HEDGEHOG SEASON
He is SEGA's Oswald!
1. Found you!
2. True!
1:46 oh god ohhh god
He became Cream, he went turbo.
0:27 i thought his name was mr needle mouse.
Wow this is epic! I love when they do stuff like this, what a W
Sonic and feel are perfect for epic mickey material
Feels the Rabbit is basically Sega's Oswald.
Kids who have only seen the movie would probably think when they found out Sonic was originally a rabbit would think there a true Sonic fan
You're more focused on talking about that than Elephant Peach being real.
Wasn’t a surprised most would think they all have elephant and it’s not as bad as we thought
"Rabbit skin" the new material that eggman will use
I’m all for Sonic prototype stuff, especially levels. Awesome music, gimmicks, enemies and visuals all going to waste just because it is either too time consuming or something the player wouldn’t enjoy.

1:08: Sonic Superstars
I was today years old when I came to the realisation that the sonic characters were drawn in that old classic cartoon style.
It's really amazing they are bringing the original design for this game!
Like Oswald, the original rabbit is back
Fun Fact: The idea of this character being able to grab objects was later given to Ristar, another Sega franchise. I really hope there's a Ristar skin in the future.
I love how people are mentioning Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Proto-Rabbit Sonic is finally back, and I'm here for it!
I'm glad that sonic became how he is now
"We've come full circle" -Vailskibum 2024
That's a brilliant way to end the video on. ^^
Anyways... very smart move on Sega's part and in respect to the history of Sonic. ^^
The original design reminds me of a Looney Tunes character.
fun fact: the gameplay concept for feels the rabbit was reused for ristar also originally ristar was supposed to be named feels
The rabbit is back
i'm so glad original sonic the hedgehog is coming back.............................
I’m getting Oswald vibes from this character
WAIT, SONIC THE LUCKY RABBIT IS HERE?!
some of this was also used in ristar he was supossed to have a girlfriend and be in a rockband
He really does feel like uploading today
reminds me of the Oswald the lucky rabbit
Return of the King.
I literally at 4am when I saw a ad advertising Sonic Superstars and when I saw the rabbit I was screaming YEEEEEEEEEEEEES! YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEES! HES BACK BABYYYYY! WOOOOOOOO!
So amazing
it is
Sonic the Wabbit is back!
Fun fact of this rabbit character: His grabbing ability idea was later used for a different Sega Genesis game, Ristar.
Looks like a combination of Doraemon and Oswald.
I feel like that feels is cream's cousin/brother/uncle/dad, one of those things.
Gotta love the original Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic Superstars--and I may haven't played the game since Sonic Colors, I guess I'll be giving Superstars a try!
i was gonna take inspiration from the early Sonic design for an Alice in Wonderland character
Now make him a canon character
Fun fact!
Bonnie is a rip off of feels the rabbit and feels the rabbit is a rip off of oswald.
ISINT THAT CRAZZZYY???
This is amazing. Sonic Superstars looks like a really fun game, and I’m glad to see Sonic is actually coming back. Not gonna lie, I lost hope for the blue blur back when Sonic Forces initially released, so the fact that every game after that so far has looked good shocks me. Also, it’s not every day that a skin for a prototype version of a character is available for use! The fact that we can actually play as Feels in some way is just awesome.
Sonic rabbit design is return for sonic superstars 😃
Feels has always been my favorite sonic character!
I’m seriously excited for Super Mario Wonder And Sonic Superstars
Why Feels The Rabbit looks like Doraemon? Anyways , I forgot that this character comes first before they created Sonic.
Oh no this is like the Oswald problem
Oh hey that’s me-
Return of the OG
This seems like oswald the lucky rabbit
RABBIT IS BACK
Now they need to bring back jumpman
If sonic superstars gets a mobile port then its officially the best sonic game ever
Sonic is getting so much better nowadays
I don’t know why but the original Sonic design reminds me of Felix the Cat.
Yo! Between Mario and Sonic in 2023, this going to be JUST like in the 90's and 2000's!
Looks Like This Game Is Getting A S++ For Me
Sonic:what! I think you died
Rabbit:l always come back!
I’ve never heard of this character, and I’ve been a sonic fan since I was a little kid, seems like sonic surprises me too thiiss daayy!😱
Since when does Oswald the lucky Rabbit have a Bowtie?
I love it when they bring back old designs for characters
That's cool and all but the rabbit skin and all the other stuff in digital deluxe isn't worth paying extra imo
(source: I bought digital deluxe in sonic origins, and that permanently ruined digital deluxes for me)
I'm honestly surprised Sega didn't make a bigger deal out of this, considering how they love to make you feel nostalgic over everything.
You just earned yourself a subscriber.
We will, indeed, be eating like kings.
Get your utensils ready y'all, cuz we are bout to COOK.
What If He Was In Sonic Movie 3?
Fun fact: when they changed the design to the sonic we know today they kept the way he was going to work and used it to make ristar
This is the first time that I've ever seen the original Sonic, so this is pretty interesting!
