If there's ever a remake of the Sonic Boom ROM hack, I want YOU to be a part of the remake's dev team!
yep, there are a few points correct in your analysis, but at first glance, It was just a way for me to practice some animation with my new model of Sonic (I made). I couldn't really recreate 100% accurately the original game, and it wasn't my intention, I wanted to use some assets I ripped from Sonic Games (such as Chemical Plant zone) and wanted to animate Sonic accordingly to those slopes and test out some stuff, and re-use the original Sonic Boom scenery with lighting and the fire behind. I actually had rings that were supposed to be used, but I literally forgot to enable them in the final render 🥲🥲 But the most important thing here for me is that I really enjoyed making an animation out of this, and I could learn a few more stuff in the process so I take that as an absolute win 😁
I love that Sonic doesn’t look afraid for his life and that he could possibly die in here… He looks more focused on dashing towards the exit. That’s some great character representation!
@@nesstar64 i think he’s more afraid of drowning, since his first adventure was just escaping 2 acts of an labyrinth under water so, I wouldn’t say that. ( sonic 1 btw )
@@chris-k9q nah, being scared of something doesn't mean you can't push through that fear. i'd say that's a testament to sonic's character in of itself.
I love the expressiveness of the eyes! The way they are focused, the way you can see the *run, run, rUN, RUN* thought process behind them, the occasional glances back, the bracing for impact, and most notably, the way they widen at Sonic’s realization/renewed vigour for his friends. There’s a shake to them, and then the pupils dilate, which shows _hope._
I feel like this should have been a concept for a level somewhere in an official game. eggman sets his lair to self destruct and instead of setting it to a timer he does it instantly because he knows a timer would be of no use to sonic's speed. thus forcing sonic to outrun an explosion with his superspeed
I can see a level where Sonic’s lured into the center of one of Eggmans factories and Eggman detonates it remotely making you have to go back through the level you just completed
Its insane that hes able to not only outrun an explosion but also make split second decisions in an instant makes sonic one of the best speedsters out there (If this was archie sonic that explosion wouldnt have bothered chasing him frfr)
unironically we need more modern scenes like this, that's honestly imo what modern sonic lacks that ruins it often. It rarely has scenes that make you both sympathize with sonic AND find him super cool.
The games are pretty inconsistent with showcasing his speed, especially when we all know he is stupid fast. He’s not flash fast sure but still pretty dang fast
@split2961 fr everything sonic is inconsistent with his speed 😭 Like sometimes he's flash fast, sometimes he's normal running speed, sometimes he is the sonic speed you'd expect, etc.
I feel like ever since Generations,the set pieces for stages have been lacking. Like, you literally have the G.U.N. truck tearing up the street in Classic Sonic's City escape mid-stage, you have Sonic running down the skyscraper in Modern Speed Highway and running *up* the clocktower in Modern Rooftop run. Even in Unleashed, (even if this stage is a nightmare) in Arid Sand you still see cool stuff like Sonic rail grinding over canyons, you having Sonic running across the ocean from island to island in Jungle Joyride, and literally the whole of Cool Edge. but then you get to the cyberspace levels in Frontiers and like...the backgrounds are cool? I guess?
i love how it goes from a scary, edge of seat escape scene immediately to a "yippie you did it! here's a gold star!" at the end with the "sonic escaped act 3" part.
at 0:37 sonic runs past a ladder and runs back to it, he is running from a nuclear explosion, it took him about 1/2 of a second to go back to the ladder, and a nukes explosion moves at 784 mph. so this hedgehog had the spare time to RUN PAST HE'S MEANS OF ESCAPE, REALIZE IT, AND THEN RUN BACK TO IT, this damn hedgehog could get a drink from a vending machine waiting for a bullet to hit him
just wanna add that if you slow the video down to 0.5x, you can hear the sound sonic makes when hes running fast and then stops. It didn't even have to be there but the animator really added it just because he could and I'm sure most people never realised it
And it's even scarier cause a part of the level, even if you take all the fastest paths and run non stop, the fire still engulfs sonic for a hot second or two...
@@some_internet_person Yes, Ken, i saw a video (in spanish, sorry) that explains the fact that after Ken being fired from his Job as a Sonic Comics drawer, it was made a whole list about what CANNOT happens in a comic from Sonic, in that list was literally the rule that Sonic can't be drawn showing big facial emotions.
@@benjamincaamano7792 yeah just watched a ken penders video, all just to make sure another penders never happened. Sucks that they had to cripple the next writers that hard. The IDW comics could be unbelievably peak if they didn’t have those restrictions.
I love the confidence in Sonic’s eyes and not once did it falter. Without any words, it showed the extreme dire situation he was in and the determination to get out of there alive. Even when backed into a corner, he calmly and quickly found a new route to escape from (the stairs) and continued onward. I especially loved hearing the build up of his speed increase, as a representation that he can take it even further and showing us that blazing fire is no match for our Blue Blur. I wished we got this in the modern Sonic games. This is the very first time I felt so anxious watching Sonic run away from danger. I knew he could do it but there was still a bit of despair resonating inside me. Once he made it out a sigh of relief left my body lol. I want this feeling in the games! Sonic was definitely cool here! 🙏🏾🔥
I wouldn't say it never falters. When the flames cut him off and tripped him into the air, he squeezed his eyes shut with a pained expression. The realization that he might not make it to the exit was setting in, ans so his life quite litterally flashed before his eyes. *_But_* that also reminded him that he too much to live for, and his eyes shot open with renewed vigor. Sonic is is strong willed, be even knows he's not invincible.
Everything about this animation is amazing. Angles, music, atmosphere, the expressions. You did something the current sonic team couldn't dream of releasing. This is one of my favorite sonic fanmade animations and Ive been watching it at least a couple times a day for months now. Please make more just like this 🔥🔥
I really wish we got to see Sonic on the ropes and on the back foot more often in games and stories. We rarely ever see Sonic pushed to his limits far enough to the point where it feels like he might actually lose the battle or God forbid his life. We've certainly seen glimpses of something like this in games like Sonic Adventures 1 and 2 as well as the storybook games and such. But rarely do we ever see Sonic in dire situations he can't possibly fix. It's only in the IDW comics and tye Recent Sonic Frontiers do we see Sonic in a more vulnerable and exposed state. I for one would like to someday see a sequence in a Sonic game that plays out in a similar manner to this animation. Where Sonic ponders if he will ever see his friend again while trying to escape captivity and running from a death trap.
sonic colors kind of had him in a dire situation. It had him running away from a blackhole and even he couldn't out run it, but even still him running away from it for seconds is mind boggling.
This is so, so, so, sooo well animated. The attention to detail with Sonic's velocity swaying against his mass (and the natural movement of limbs) as he changes direction sells the realness. You give so much personality to every movement, with split-second adjustments; not wasting any momentum, but not at all robotic or uncanny looking. With how often the hedgehog is shown running around at the speed of sound, it's surprisingly rare (if ever) that we get to see him move with a sense of urgency. This nails it. I appreciate the bouncy spindashing, too. And accounting for different running poses as he accelerates, from pumping arms to the naruto sprint. And everything's smooth. Like, you did not have to animate the individual fingers at 0:45, but you did, and the subliminal details come together like damn. I didn't expect this level of fidelity when I clicked haha meme thumbnail. Very cool, thank you LucasRPDJ.
i freaking love when people animate horizontal-mach-speed animations. I think it's a huge part of why Super Mario Bros Z or SFM Friendly Competition got so insanely popular back in the 2010's not to mention the wonderful camera direction that really elevates the intensity of all this
I wish we’d gotten an epic recreation of this in Frontiers for a final level. As we had to maneuver through the blazing flames that threaten to burn Sonic to a crisp and run through the exploding ship like in Sonic Forces on Eggman’s Base. I can also see this being a one change, one shot type level at the end of the game that you’d to use all the skills you’ve learned and wouldn’t be able to stop for nothing. Just keeping running. Because if you get stuck or get slown down by an enemy, there’s no help for you. Would’ve been cool. Also I wouldn’t have a problem if they used the song in the cutscene either as it captures that sort of “this is your one shot that’ll change everything forever” feeling. Like animations like this.
The thing that makes this so cool is that sonic isn't outrunning a fire or anything, HE'S TRYING TO OUTRUN A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION, sonic can run at like mach 30 or something, so it sucks that that isn't represented like this in official sonic media.
the closest theyve done (for a finale) is Terminal Velocity in Sonic Colors, probs one of my favorite ending sequence lol~ outrunning a damn black hole
I find this ending sequence so intense with this song it puts me to tears every time. Contemporary Sonic games need this! Actual drama, actual intensity, stakes. His determination, when he closes his eyes with a flashback, the fact he's running from man's-made most devastating thing thus far (nuclear explosions)… Absolute goddamn cinema. Worth every tear I've shed watching and rewatching.
This animation was insane! Wow! It totally blew my mind!🔥 At first I thought Sonic couldn't make it to the door cuz it was still locked shut until it opens as he reaches after thinking of his friends before continuing to escape from hell. That is just incredible!
I love how fast Sonic moves his arms when building up speed. It normally starts like that in the sonic games, but it starts slowly, in this animation Sonic has to build up a lot of speed in practically no time, so his arms move much quicker to do that before going into his normal sonic run (with his arms extended backwards)
I love the way he’s not running with his hands behind his back until only when he’s focused on really going fast. He toggles between running more so his sonic heroes animation when he’s not fully locked in and his later gen gaming title releases with his hands behind his back when he’s really locked in. Impressive attention to detail there. [Edit Side note:] I also want to appreciate the the tone display here being shown in this animation. To some it’s just an epic scene of Sonic running fast in a desperate manner, but to Sonic himself it’s more so the realization and fear that much like all of his adventures it’s never too certain which one will be his last. To us he’s a hero from the comics, a star from the movies, and a nostalgia from the games. But putting ourselves into the characters shoes directly we’re excited yet scared that the next adventure could very well be our last. That’s why I love how at the end he realized how much he could lose if he didn’t make it out alive with those flashbacks he had. Makes it all the more reassuring whenever we the players see that “Act Cleared” on the results screen. ❤
Superb! One thing I really love with this animation is how well you convey Sonic's speed with the rapid movement of his legs with the smooth animation. He's going very fast, thus his legs are moving very fast. Kudos to the beautiful lighting, adds the the tension with how dangerously close the fire is to Sonic throughout the act.
Sonic's feet have gone much faster to the point that it'd either appear as a wheel or an 8 figure. The choice to make Sonic's feet take rhythmic yet solid footsteps makes this all the more impactful and suspenseful. Going off of noise alone, you'd think he's not going fast enough to beat the flames but each leg must reach ahead of the other to get him out of there.
This is an absolutely gorgeous animation! Smooth and clean, and every aspect of it is just amazing. You've earned yourself another subscriber, keep up the good work!
Goddamn, this was amazing!!!!! I think the only thing that could have made this better was if he spin dashed to break through that door at 1:00. Like he would have saw the door locked shut and thought he was actually going to die, but the memories of all of his friends waiting for him back home would have given him the strength to blast through it!!!
Absolutely phenomenal animation. I can imagine how sonic must've felt when he was running for his life, he wasnt messing around cuz he knows if he did he probably wouldve met his demise. Even worse knowing he's not running from a fire, hes running from an explosion. I love when these kinds of animations happen, putting sonic up to his limits and show what he really is capable of, being able to outrun death itself.
Man, I love the Sonic Boom hack, especially the ending!!!🔥By the way, this hack meme animation was incredible like your other 3D projects!!! Excellent work Lucas!!! I can't wait to see more animations like this!!! 👍
I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one with this thing stuck in my head even during recent days... now I'm sitting here wondering how MARZA would've animated this... regardless, this approximation is good enough.
Dude you are amazing for making this I love how instead of sonic just running to the right and jumping a couple times you decided to make sonic take higher up pathways and really emphasized how fast he was going to escape the fire! Also I'm currently learning blender and i would love for someone like you to give me tips to how to make something as cool as this.
thank you :) I can't really make tutorials at the moment since I'm also in a learning process of Blender and 3D in general, but I can give some advice if needed. you can contact me via my discord DM @lucasrpdj
This animation hits so hard from start to finish 😭. That final scene with the flashbacks of his friends... Damn... Thank you so much for sharing such amazing work.
Is no one really going to talk about how nice the lighting looks? Seriously, the lights flow so smoothly from one object to another, it’s really hard not to appreciate it!
I never heard of the meme but this animation was awesome! I didn’t expect how dark this animation was! It’s a long way for my favourite blue boi to escape from the explosion. Luckily he made it out alive!
Thank you so much, I've been wanting a more fleshed out animation for this ever since I saw the original video, it's such an uncomfortable yet thrilling idea!! I love the detail of Sonic's pupils dilating as well, awesome work
Some of Sonic's movements could be a bit smoother but the cinematography is incredible. Really captures the speed and intensity of some of the best cutscenes.
A perfect representation of what is run from danger. Insane animation and hope sega will be inspired by that for make serious levels like this. My only regret is I know it's a meme for longtime and based on the Sonic Boom rom hack power plant act 3 but seriously I prefer the Hi-max theme for Megaman X6 than Paranoia but it's just a personnal preference.
This feels like if Sonic 2 was taken in a more serious Light (with the fact the ending scene with Sonic escaping the death egg in the OG felt bland as hell) this feels like he wants to feel the sunshine again and see his friends again. So he’s giving it all he’s got to return home. Even if he smells like burned hedgehog
@@ovathehedgehogandava1840Why are you hating so much the scene from Sonic 2? That was a pixel art game and the 2nd mainline game, why are you so hard?
Most say they watched this from a meme video. I am one of the few who got to play the rom hack! Either way, you did a phenomenal job with this animation! Please keep up with the amazing content! 👍
Never thought I’d ever see a 3D version of the Power Plant Act 3 escape level, but here we are. Excellent stuff. This meme has generated some (pardon the pun) fire material!
Dude, you know what really would make this escene even more hardcore than it is on its own? The fact that It wouldn't be crazy to assume that probably what we're seeing in the video is in slow motion ☠️
Let's see what I noticed:
-The meme's music replacing the act's actual music (Honestly better-fitting than Hi-Max)
-A slightly different route than the actual game
-Modern in full-scale (Rather than limited to what the genesis could show us)
-The fact that Sonic made it to the exit without ANY ring consumption (Probably due to lack of rings)
-The Act 3 Clear music in full Genesis soundfont (JUST like the original hack) along with a new text style for the actual display
-The fall-down-to-earth ending seen in the original (Fun fact, you can slow down when your HUD goes away and the fire would have unloaded, meaning you could actually get an actual Time Over in the tunnel without dying by the fire)
People show gameplay of the act, but you did a full RENDITION of the meme. If there's ever a remake of the Sonic Boom ROM hack, I want YOU to be a part of the remake's dev team!

As we had to maneuver through the blazing flames that threaten to burn Sonic to a crisp and run through the exploding ship like in Sonic Forces on Eggman’s Base. I can also see this being a one change, one shot type level at the end of the game that you’d to use all the skills you’ve learned and wouldn’t be able to stop for nothing. Just keeping running. Because if you get stuck or get slown down by an enemy, there’s no help for you. Would’ve been cool. Also I wouldn’t have a problem if they used the song in the cutscene either as it captures that sort of “this is your one shot that’ll change everything forever” feeling. Like animations like this.
The thing that makes this so cool is that sonic isn't outrunning a fire or anything, HE'S TRYING TO OUTRUN A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION, sonic can run at like mach 30 or something, so it sucks that that isn't represented like this in official sonic media.
Such an awesome animation, Lucas! I really enjoyed this one so far as possible than I ever expected.
THE FLASH BACK BEFORE THE END WAS SO GOOD OH MY GOSH IT’S PEAKKKKKKKK😭😭😭😭😭😭
Never thought this old Sonic hack would had an epic escape sequence than most games they do...
Its really nuts and EPIC, also. 😉
I’m just glad this old hack is getting the recognition it deserves after so many years sonic boom for what it was still epic.
I liked it before it became a meme honestly. I remember always struggling on the boss tho
@@Gmack2311 I loved it when I first heard and played it but yea the boss was a pain but still unique around its existence
@@Gmack2311 Same. Im a little surprised it just gained popularity out of nowhere. A Sonic Rom hack of all things. Im not dissapointed
the closest theyve done (for a finale) is Terminal Velocity in Sonic Colors, probs one of my favorite ending sequence lol~ outrunning a damn black hole
I find this ending sequence so intense with this song it puts me to tears every time. Contemporary Sonic games need this! Actual drama, actual intensity, stakes. His determination, when he closes his eyes with a flashback, the fact he's running from man's-made most devastating thing thus far (nuclear explosions)… Absolute goddamn cinema. Worth every tear I've shed watching and rewatching.
Sonic- **has a near-death experience**
The music- **happy complete sequence**
This animation was insane! Wow! It totally blew my mind!🔥
At first I thought Sonic couldn't make it to the door cuz it was still locked shut until it opens as he reaches after thinking of his friends before continuing to escape from hell. That is just incredible!
Dude I know this is basically just a meme remake but the energy here is ASTOUNDING. Exactly what I wish Sonic Team was doing with cutscenes nowadays.
Sonic Colors.
I love how fast Sonic moves his arms when building up speed. It normally starts like that in the sonic games, but it starts slowly, in this animation Sonic has to build up a lot of speed in practically no time, so his arms move much quicker to do that before going into his normal sonic run (with his arms extended backwards)
What really did it for Sonic was remembering that Chao owed him five bucks.
1:07 *locking in activation ACTIVATED*
I love the way he’s not running with his hands behind his back until only when he’s focused on really going fast. He toggles between running more so his sonic heroes animation when he’s not fully locked in and his later gen gaming title releases with his hands behind his back when he’s really locked in. Impressive attention to detail there.
[Edit Side note:] I also want to appreciate the the tone display here being shown in this animation. To some it’s just an epic scene of Sonic running fast in a desperate manner, but to Sonic himself it’s more so the realization and fear that much like all of his adventures it’s never too certain which one will be his last. To us he’s a hero from the comics, a star from the movies, and a nostalgia from the games. But putting ourselves into the characters shoes directly we’re excited yet scared that the next adventure could very well be our last.
That’s why I love how at the end he realized how much he could lose if he didn’t make it out alive with those flashbacks he had. Makes it all the more reassuring whenever we the players see that “Act Cleared” on the results screen. ❤
Superb!
One thing I really love with this animation is how well you convey Sonic's speed with the rapid movement of his legs with the smooth animation. He's going very fast, thus his legs are moving very fast.
Kudos to the beautiful lighting, adds the the tension with how dangerously close the fire is to Sonic throughout the act.
Sonic's feet have gone much faster to the point that it'd either appear as a wheel or an 8 figure. The choice to make Sonic's feet take rhythmic yet solid footsteps makes this all the more impactful and suspenseful. Going off of noise alone, you'd think he's not going fast enough to beat the flames but each leg must reach ahead of the other to get him out of there.
@@despaceto1152 fun fact hes actually outrunning an explosion so this happened in miliseconds or even shorter
This is an absolutely gorgeous animation! Smooth and clean, and every aspect of it is just amazing. You've earned yourself another subscriber, keep up the good work!
thank you so much!! I'm very glad you liked it :D
@@LucasRPDJyour video called sonic runs for his life has reached over 100k views, THATS CRAZY! (AKA) THATS MAD!
Goddamn, this was amazing!!!!! I think the only thing that could have made this better was if he spin dashed to break through that door at 1:00. Like he would have saw the door locked shut and thought he was actually going to die, but the memories of all of his friends waiting for him back home would have given him the strength to blast through it!!!
Absolutely phenomenal animation.
I can imagine how sonic must've felt when he was running for his life, he wasnt messing around cuz he knows if he did he probably wouldve met his demise.
Even worse knowing he's not running from a fire, hes running from an explosion.
I love when these kinds of animations happen, putting sonic up to his limits and show what he really is capable of, being able to outrun death itself.
1:19 Probably the fastest sonics ever ran in his life 😭
Trust me he can go even faster than that if he had enough space for it.
@@MUISonicFrontiers2959 in base I mean
@@Metaltonicgamming he practically outran a black hole in base
In base he's traveled dimensions so this is a little bit on a smaller scale
As someone played that game a long time ago, I didn’t expect a cool animation like this
Man, I love the Sonic Boom hack, especially the ending!!!🔥By the way, this hack meme animation was incredible like your other 3D projects!!! Excellent work Lucas!!! I can't wait to see more animations like this!!! 👍
This is how Sonic feels when he is escaping the self-destructing Death Egg.
"Launch GTA6 now or run from a nuclear explosi-" Rockstar: 0:11
RUN SONIC!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 also this is a fire animation🔥🔥😎😎
I see what you did there
Literlly)
OFC ITS FIRE ITS LUCASRPDJ!!! XD
Pun intended
I can agree
Sonic’s running animation is looking great as usual. This is the best thing I’ve ever seen before 😊
I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one with this thing stuck in my head even during recent days... now I'm sitting here wondering how MARZA would've animated this... regardless, this approximation is good enough.
I feel very honoured to be compared to Marza Animation with this one 😁
Or if you really wanna go back we can also compare this to blur studio.
Same!!!! I would never think meeting someone that thinks the same thing as me about this! :D
I LOVE 1:21 he is like GOTTA GO FAST FAASTT
0:11 Me when i see a spider💀
Is it because you’re just running from the spider or you tried to burn the spider
See the spider
@@Galaxy19991 relatable
Dude you are amazing for making this I love how instead of sonic just running to the right and jumping a couple times you decided to make sonic take higher up pathways and really emphasized how fast he was going to escape the fire! Also I'm currently learning blender and i would love for someone like you to give me tips to how to make something as cool as this.
thank you :)
I can't really make tutorials at the moment since I'm also in a learning process of Blender and 3D in general, but I can give some advice if needed.
you can contact me via my discord DM @lucasrpdj
This animation hits so hard from start to finish 😭. That final scene with the flashbacks of his friends... Damn... Thank you so much for sharing such amazing work.
I haven't visited this channel in 2 YEARS, and I've seen its evolution, I'm more impressed than I already was with your animations, congratulations!!
During this, i could only hear sonic saying, "Tails, if you can pick me up right about now, IT WOULD BE NOW!!!"
He isn't running for his life, he smelt a chili dog 10 miles away.
Is no one really going to talk about how nice the lighting looks? Seriously, the lights flow so smoothly from one object to another, it’s really hard not to appreciate it!
I never heard of the meme but this animation was awesome! I didn’t expect how dark this animation was! It’s a long way for my favourite blue boi to escape from the explosion. Luckily he made it out alive!
Thank you so much, I've been wanting a more fleshed out animation for this ever since I saw the original video, it's such an uncomfortable yet thrilling idea!! I love the detail of Sonic's pupils dilating as well, awesome work
Sonic had finally understood the true meaning of fight or flight
I imagine Sonic think like “Hehe the fire is fast but I can go faster gotta get to my friends before this fire turns me into a burned hedgehog!!”
My man really turned a meme into something movie quality
This is so perfect! Exactly how I always envision the original scene- and the flashback at the end makes it all the more gut wrenching!
Some of Sonic's movements could be a bit smoother but the cinematography is incredible. Really captures the speed and intensity of some of the best cutscenes.
I'm not a scientist but i can definitely confirm that this video produces testosterone
This feels official. This feels like an official modern Sonic quick time event sequence.
The animation was intense. The fire was just right on his behind. You have single-handedly rekindled my love for sonic ❤️
this is severly underrated for now, but in the next weeks, this will prolly get some great recognition, the effort put into this is HUGE
I know what you were referencing. God, that level gave me PTSD.
But this animation was so clean though. Nice Work!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Meanwhile, in Sonic Forces: *bad jokes, bad Zavok and bad physics*
Why does this look like an actual thing you would see in a Sonic game-
A perfect representation of what is run from danger. Insane animation and hope sega will be inspired by that for make serious levels like this. My only regret is I know it's a meme for longtime and based on the Sonic Boom rom hack power plant act 3 but seriously I prefer the Hi-max theme for Megaman X6 than Paranoia but it's just a personnal preference.
This feels like if Sonic 2 was taken in a more serious Light (with the fact the ending scene with Sonic escaping the death egg in the OG felt bland as hell) this feels like he wants to feel the sunshine again and see his friends again. So he’s giving it all he’s got to return home.
Even if he smells like burned hedgehog
Or this could be from Sonic Advance 2 and either way I LOVE IT.
Bro I don't even play sonic and this was epic
@@agua246You should! The stories of those games are really cool and CGI cutscenes are as beautiful as this animation!
@@ovathehedgehogandava1840Why are you hating so much the scene from Sonic 2? That was a pixel art game and the 2nd mainline game, why are you so hard?
Most say they watched this from a meme video. I am one of the few who got to play the rom hack! Either way, you did a phenomenal job with this animation! Please keep up with the amazing content! 👍
This is actually a really terrifying scenario, everybody else who was with him is 100% dead. They were too slow
Where did you see it?
hi im your old fan.Just watching your new animations to compare with old ones,You improved a lot,geez.
0:19 Roblox Flood Escape Be Like
True, but tbh wouldn’t have been as scary unless it’s like RIGOR or smth
This is just amazing I love it
Also kinda terrifying to see sonic run for his dear life
Dude, the fact that his life actually flashed before his eyes...
RUN SONIC RUN!!!!
I was legitimately scared for him
The fact that he really looks focusing on just running is just, cool man
That's gotta be one of the most famous moments in Sonic fangame history
Never thought I’d ever see a 3D version of the Power Plant Act 3 escape level, but here we are.
Excellent stuff. This meme has generated some (pardon the pun) fire material!
0:13 Me when i smell something burning:
Dude, you know what really would make this escene even more hardcore than it is on its own? The fact that It wouldn't be crazy to assume that probably what we're seeing in the video is in slow motion ☠️
He even made cool references to the original rom hack!
This is better than most cutscenes in Sonic frontiers, Sega should hire you
Why always bashing Frontiers seriously? If it was Sega that was behind this scene, people would keep bashing anyway.
Animation so cool that its actually fire! 🔥😎🔥😎🔥
Bro took a meme and made it into a fantastic animation
This is me running to bed thinking that a monster is running after me😂
Dont forget, that aint just fire, THATS A WHOLE ASS EXPLOSION. SONIC OUTRAN AN EXPLOSION.
THE FLAMES OF DISASTER
🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wasn't expecting this to be so well animated
I kinda imagine the Death Egg imploding-exploding just after Sonic scapes it's reactor core meltdown.
You should be hired by Sega cuz how dope this looks man
I'm glad that Sonic survived he's a true survivor
