I LOVE SPENDING MY TIME OPTIMIZING PLAYING A GAME RATHER THAN ACTUALLY PLAYING IT!!!
fr, i spend a lot of time setting up emulators, then barely playing games on it hahaha. very cool work you have done here. i'll be sure to follow most of this stuff once I get my Steam Deck (they're finally releasing the Deck in Australia this November).
lol i do that too
Same here pal
frrrrrr
Stop it. get some help :)
You have no idea how long I've needed this. I literaly have all these games on console, but I love just having a nice place to play them. I'm on Sonic 3 now, but I've got a ways to go!
I love how the intro is a reference to the SEGA AGES games on Switch,
This is a beautiful guide! I can tell you put a lot of work into the booklet itself, it's very nicely made. Also, I didn't even realize you made the tracker physics mod, that's definitely my favorite of the physics mods.
Hi! This is a lovely guide and thank you for recommending Legacy of Solaris in it! I DID want to make a point that if you do play with Legacy of Solaris you DO NOT have to turn on ANY of the codes in the mod manager! LoS comes with every code and mod it needs and because of how extensive it is, it CAN break easily applying anything else, so do that at your own risk! The only codes I'd recommend, as a dev member on the mod, are: Disable x2 AA (this can help reduce lag) and Disable Bloom (if playing above 720 or 1280p, iirc).
WE WENT FROM ORIGINS ULTRAFIX TO FIXING EVERY MAINLINE SONIC GAMES YOOOOO
A physical version of this would be sick.
I love how the Xbox text in the Unleashed page redirects to an image of Phil Spencer lmao
Using the Space Harrier music was a choice, and I'm glad for it
The presentation is so good. Great job!
This was a really good read, the presentation alone is so clean it bears repeating. I've been a little out of the loop with the modding scene so it was nice catching up and man I really need a pc that's not a potato so I can try out some of this stuff. Also I see you're still dunking on Lost World specifically, as you should.
This is really good, like REALLY good. But I do wish knuckles chaotix and tails adventure was on here (But it probably wouldn't make sense, since they're spinoffs and don't have many improvement mods due to no rereleases). Other then that, this is good!
Needs Sonic Advance 1 and 3 as well. But only Sonic Advance 2 got an SP version by fans.
To be fair, there’s actually a Master System port of Tails Adventure and a PC remake that was at the last SAGE - I haven’t played through them yet, but once I do they’re a shoe-in, because I love Tails Adventure!
at least Sega welcomes fan games mods and creations with open arms unlike Nintendo lol
Yeah, another one of those SegadoeswhatNintendon't situations, eh? lol.😂
Nintendo can go fuck themselves.
Yeah but they sure don't like it when you download a ROM of a 2011 game they delisted from stores, quit defending SEGA and pretending they are innocent when they took down Vimms Lair and made people pay £1000+ quid to buy an apple phone to play a Sonic Game that they will make lost media and make it so that you never own the game
Love the work on this trailer. Especially the nods to SEGA AGES Switch, the Sonic mobile remasters, and even the Genesis Mini 2 reveal trailer.
These mods look super cool. It's just a shame most of them aren't available on console since that's my preferred platform still, but nice work regardless
Out of curiosity. Which version of 06 is in this collection? The original of the fan-made Project 06 remaster?
Another question I have is, will we have the option to play through the Adventure games’ storylines in chronological order?
Legacy of Solaris, mentioned in it, is used for the Xbox 360 version of the game
Holy crap the timing, I've been getting back to messing around with my deck again!
Just read through this. Very aesthetically pleasing, and mostly agree with the choices, with a couple notes:
* while the presentation of the spinoff mods as 90s-style ads is cute, I think simply listing them like any other game would provide more clarity, even if it is just a page with one mod each. People in these comments think that none of the Advance games are even mentioned! Plus, Sonic Advance Souped Up does a lot for Advance 1 of what SP does for Advance 2 (or the Advance 1 Tweaked mod from a couple years back, if you think Souped is too drastic). Also, Sonic 1 SMS only has one mod, but doesn't follow this format, so it's a little inconsistent.
* the Sonic the Fighters "community edition" page links to a twitter account which links to a discord server, which _might_ have some custom mod for the game somewhere? But I sure as hell can't find it. I had to go back and check that this wasn't related to TDRR's StF Remix mod, which no, they are distinct.
* Only the 'TD' in "TD Bugfixes" is a hyperlink in the Mania section. I assume since the guide uses blue for links that this is an oversight.
* Not sure I like how some of the mods in here link directly to files without a description of how to install them or even what some of them are. For example, seems like there should be a more obvious place to find Sonic 1 SMS Perfect System than this single PDF file. When Mania TDX has "poor mod compatibility", is that with all mods or just those not included in the Mania section? Clarity would help on these.
* the Sonic R section refers to Radical City as 'Radical Highway'.
* Okay, this totally isn't your fault or anything, but I find it kind of maddening how both Shadow Reloaded's mod page and everyone _talking_ about Shadow Reloaded say that the missions are more tolerable, but nowhere on the entire internet is there a mention that Lethal Highway and Air Fleet both have _increased difficulty_ due to making their autoscrolling targets way faster. I'm assuming this isn't a bug or anything, but that nearly stopped us from being able to finish the game on DDZ! I had to tell Sid to use cheats!
* 06 has a retranslation mod! It's hard for me to like the game's story in any case but I was surprised to not see it included alongside the other games.
* I noticed in the codes section of 06 that you're using 'Unlock mid-air momentum'. I just wanted to issue a warning that I'm pretty sure that breaks a spring in Shadow's Aquatic Base so it can't be completed. No idea if Legacy of Solaris fixes this.
* I feel that, with the mentions of DX and Re-Gravitified, the controller mod for Free Riders deserves a mention. Maybe the game's not great no matter what scheme you use, but it was another rule-of-3 omission that I didn't expect.
* I'm surprised that the layouts and physics changes for Lost World improvement made the game harder for you, for me they broke the game in half with how easily Sonic could pull off just about any maneuver. Maybe that's the point, or maybe I'm delusional, as apparently us Lost World likers are so unhinged that the introductory paragraph feels the need to call us out ;P
* like with the Mania mods before, I wish I knew what the "Doilus soundtrack" entails, or indeed who the hell "The Doilus Stage" even is. I had to download the mod itself just to check. Plus, what replacing Golden Capital 2, the only good sounding track of that zone, but not Act 1 or Act Knuckles? Literally unplayable.
* In the time since I started writing this, the 'comic book adventure' mod got a fixed link in the youtube comments, though still not in the video description.
anyway cool shit mostly good hope some of these things can get buffed out
I was thinking of bringing up Shadow Reloaded too, some of the difficulty changes really are all over the place.
The missions where you chase down a target have both increased speed and hitpoints, you pratically need the Shadow Rifle and infinite ammo from Chaos powers to take them out efficiently.
Then there's stuff like the race with Sonic, where the time limit is now so strict that it almost requires a near perfect run or a chaos control skip most new players won't know about.
On top of that you got more agressive enemies resulting in cheapshots, the incredibly demanding ranks and the nerve wracking expert mode which was some people's preferred way to play the game.
All in all despite making some aspects of the game more accessible the mod really feels catered to people who mastered the original.
@@harmoniouschaos6376 The Sonic race actually has a second, earlier goal ring you can use to make it pitifully _easy,_ which is weird.
I didn't personally struggle with any enemies except perhaps the beetles on Digital Circuit Dark (the much faster antivirus enemies are really annoying but they're not actually _difficult_ per se).
Expert mode being ridiculous isn't that huge a deal to me, but it should definitely be one _option,_ with maybe a code or something (dunno how modding works) to restore the regular layouts sans mission stuff. But then, I never play expert mode because I'd rather choose the stage order to place Act 1s and 2s together with bosses.
@@DeepDiveDevin
For some reason I assumed the first ring locked you into the neutral mission, my bad.
I had a few instances of gun beetles snipping me into bottomless pits before I could react, particularly in Air Fleet though that might also be on me but it sure didn't feel like it.
Also I never thought of doing a two act playthrough before, I'll be giving it a try.
@@harmoniouschaos6376 The second goal ring is just a weird and confusing choice in general. I think a better compromise might be using (a cyan version of) the chaos emerald object from westopolis, but instead of being a goal ring, it just changes what the actual goal does?
Also, yeah, laying it out like a traditional Sonic game is easily my preferred method of play for Shadow. The reloaded guy is working on a randomizer and I'm hoping that will eventually allow custom stage playlists. If I squint I almost feel like I'm playing a linear adventure where Shadow follows the heroes before targeting Eggman, gets lied to about being a robot, gets disoriented when Eggman tells the truth, is taken advantage of by Black Doom's ARK flashbacks, then is convinced to go to the ARK by Sonic and finally goes after Black Doom from there.
Wanted to respond to this earlier, but mobile YT is arse - thanks for the detailed feedback! Lots of great points that I'm gonna implement here.
* I do want to keep the ads, but I agree that stuff like Fighters needs to be more clear on where the mod actually is. I've yet to try any Advance 1 mods, so that's why it's not there for now. Sonic 1 SMS gets a page for the simple reason that I implemented it before I decided on the ad thing, and couldn't think of a good ad layout for it... but I was aware it'd look a bit odd, so I might go back and adjust that.
* I thought I fixed the hyperlink guff! I'll go make sure I actually fix it next time.
* Yeah, the direct mod links are something I'm planning to solve with dedicated mod pages on my new website, I just haven't had chance to implement those pages yet - but they'll be the official 'home' of those mods beyond the guide, at least.
* I can't believe I got caught as a fake Sonic R fan in 4K like this
* I have to admit that I didn't run into issues with Shadow Reloaded, but it's been a while... oops.
* I had no idea it did! I'll definitely give that a look.
* So it turns out Legacy of Solaris has its own set of codes, and the dev team themselves don't actually recommend using anything else besides that - so I'm gonna update the guide to reflect that. I remember having that bug now that you've mentioned it, and I always wondered what caused it...
* The Free Riders one is definitely due a mention, I just haven't had chance to try it yet and didn't want to delay the guide any further lol
* I actually agree they don't make the game harder necessarily, just that it feels very janky and unwieldly. Alas, Lost World likers are not free of sin.
* Yeah in hindsight I should've made that more obvious - Doilus Stage is the Discord server I hang out in, and I think the Sonic 3 beta joke is probably lost on a lot of folks (or not really clear in the first place). It should replace Act 1 and Act Knuckles though, if it's not that's a bug!
* OK phew, I'll go add that link in
Seriously though, thanks for the feedback! Laser-focused stuff like this really does help me out!
I love the Space Harrier theme. TTuTT
Nice use of Gems Collection music ❤ good job ^^
If you do update this in the future then I feel that Sonic Riders Tournament Edition should be one of the bonus games. Also having some Sonic 1 Forever and Sonic 2 Absolute mods on there like the Origins cutscenes for example. Also you should put the Amy Galore Sonic 3 Air mod in this as well since it is the only Amy mod I seen for Air that adds her Origins moveset so it does count as a Origins parity mod
i think ill stick with what i have as my PC runs none of these games well and to me the official pure experience flaws and all, is more definitive to me but this is still really cool
I'm in a similar boat nowadays, although that's partially do to how some Sonic fans as of recently (even some modders) have been using their works to be spiteful and bitter toward Sonic Team and the people who actually have a role in creating these games. But that just seems to be a loud minority of people doing this... hopefully.
This is wonderful this is the best way to explain to new sonic fans that have gaming pc how to get the definitive experience for each sonic game.
Seeing ring racers mentioned is good. best fangame by far
Fans doing what Segan't

Love to see Origins UltraFix getting the recognition it deserves!

*_THE FLAMES OF DISASTER_* 🗣🔥‼
Absolutely fantastic set up as always, but I can't help but find the insistance of Japanese Dub and Retranslated mods as "Essentials" to be extremely disingenuous to everything else this guide accomplishes. No matter what way you try to spin it, Sub vs. Dub is always 110% down to personal preference, there is nothing essential about switching in game dialouge to a language I can't understand that forces me to read text instead of watching the cutscenes or, you know, playing the game. Not knowing what a character is saying is infinitely more annoying to me than some corny dialouge the series practically lives by.
But hey, it's your guide and obviously those parts can be ignored, I just don't agree on the placement. Everything else here is so fueled by passion and quality that I can't help but recommend this to my friends. I've had them use the previous revision before, and I'll continue to do so with this version.
Personally, the JP thing is moreso about the quality of the translations themselves than voice acting - moreso for the older titles. But I do admit, if folks were to ignore any part of the Essentials, it can probably be those, and I did consider moving them to Optional - I'd just recommend anyone to at least try the original scripts, even if only once, to see what the original intent was before the localisation mangling, particularly for SA1/SA2. Some pretty important stuff gets lost in translation, and I think the added context is valuable.
(It's why I don't recommend Frontiers' Re-Translated mod - the Japanese script for that game is pretty naff, and I don't think you miss anything not using it!)
Completely fair, I get where you're coming from. Just my own personal perspective on things but totally get what you mean now.
Again, even all that aside the stuff here is fantastic and I consider it a must have resource, your stuff is great as always man
I have a soft spot for the dub, but for Sonic Adventure 2 in particular, I think the Retranslated mod is pretty necessary and is the only way I play SA2 now.
Feels like a completely different game, It's insane how much clearer the story presentation is.
(The lip flaps matching up is an added bonus)
Perfect guide, you know, not finding fault with Sonic games, I love them passionately, but it's strange how almost every game of his needs modifications made by fans for it to achieve what it should.
Pariah95: Am I jobless now?
For Sonic Unleashed, you did not mention the Foreign Input System mod as an essential. That makes the Werehog SO MUCH MORE FUN rather than feeling like a downgrade from the Daytime levels! Highly recommend it as an essential.
@@VesDegree Yep, I’ve spoken to the devs and it’s definitely something I want to try - I’ve just not spent much time with Unleashed on Xenia due to its instability, but it’s something I want to make more robust for those that do
this would be so awesome as like, the biggest sonic collection ever released officially--
if it doesn't include all the handhelds its not the perfect system collection. those are canon too. sonic battle is even referenced in dark beginnings through emerl and sonic advance 3 takes place directly after sonic battle and has gmerl, who is emerl rebuilt, and is in the idw comics. also sonic rush is blaze's first appearance, it was before 06, and then she appears again in sonic rush adventure and it introduces her sol dimension from the idw comics. seriously idk why you all continue to ignore the handhelds like they aren't canon, they are, even the current silver the hedgehog is from a handheld, he's the silver from sonic rivals.
@@infern209x It’s nothing to do with canon - it’s just that there’s nothing about those games to make a ‘perfect system’ version with, because I just play them as they are - except for Advance 2, because I made a hack for that.
There are more improvement hacks for the Advance games in the works afaik, but this guide just focuses on games where I’d recommend mods - it’s nothing to do with canon.
This is by far the dumbest comment I've read oh my god lmao. I'd never thought a mod recommendation guide would attract such an insane comment. It has nothing to do with canon, you absolute pedantic weirdo.
I literally *literally* I spit out my drink when I saw Honey
Something Ive noticed that not anyone else seems to have mentioned - The Korone and Koco emote DLC restorations from Frontiers' page are unavailable due to the recent attacks on the Internet Archive. Could you create a mirror for the mod for the time being so its accessible again?
What’s the background music when the different sonic games are being showed on what consoles best to play on?
@@noahsango3169 it’s the Manual Menu theme from Sonic Gems Collection.
(Also, the consoles in that bit are just the original systems the games released on - except for the Bonus Games, which do just use the platforms they’re actually played on per the guide)
The Space Harrier intro remix is awesome ! Where can I find it outside video ?
@@retroblue9558 it’s from the Japan-only standalone release of 3D Power Drift on Nintendo 3DS! The song’s available on the album SEGA Archives - M2 Music Memorial, along with the equally amazing Power Drift remixes of stuff like OutRun and Fantasy Zone!
Very good! Just find interesting that Sonic Superstars is considered part of the Modern Era instead of the Classic Era, unlike Sonic Mania
I Made a playnite collection for this i also added some extra games for my self
Freedom Planet (2014)
Build used 1.21.5 (Note Game Doesnt Have Mods)
Freedom Planet 2 (2022)
Potion Seller (Can Break Saves If Disabled)
FP2Rebalanced
Upgraded Ship
Figtable Spade
Lost Judgement (2022)
This Has Sonic The Fighters it does
part from that thats what i added rn
Good stuff as always, thanks for making this! I will be revisiting Sonic Unleashed in the near future.
Could you try putting the Sotrybook games on to the list? They do have some fan-upgrades that i think a lot of people would want to see.
@@hookitiri I wasn’t actually aware they did! I know Project ReIgnition looks promising, but it’s early days yet
What’s the best way to play sonic jam on the tiger gamecom?
*Sega chant*
DECOMPS
Would this play on my Windows ten laptop?
This is exciting!
This seems like something really useful! tho i wonder about why mention Triple Trouble and Ring Racers if there isnt going to be any guide to anything....
@@chavalinx4735 I just wanted to give the games a shoutout so anyone who’s missed them gives them a shot - they don’t need modding or anything (though Ring Racers has plenty!)
w, space harrier music 🔥
Nice guide👍
Would you really recommend origins over the fan ports? Just asking cuz I’m silly.
I would! Ultrafix makes them feel like genuinely definitive versions, and fixes a lot of stuff no fan port or mod has done.
Shoot dude what are we gonna tell pariah and his spread sheet?
Wait
we're missing sonic for the
this is great!!!
whats the song used in the first part of the video?
SONIC TRIPLE TROUBLE IS CANON
Kinda hoped that sonic dream team would be there too
@@heitorsant1759 Sadly there’s no way to play Dream Team outside of an Apple device with Apple Arcade at the moment, unless I’ve missed something seismic in Apple emulation
How would that work? Dream Team's Apple Arcade exclusive, it would be virtually impossible to get it on any PC OS besides Mac. Doesnt help that its a relatively more modern game too.
What about the other 2 ?nSonic and the Secret Rings & the Black Knight? I know this isn’t real deal but I thought i bring those up
were can i play this
My autistic ass needed this so much
is that supposed to be like Sonic games collection in one package ?
@@GamingBoy-or3vh it’s basically a guide to the mods I recommend for each Sonic game, and which version of the games I recommend playing
the ‘collection’ is just set-dressing for it; it doesn’t actually include any games, but the idea is you build the collection by getting the mods etc
Yooo what's that music??
0/10. Sonic battle- THE defining game of the lore of year of shadow isn't even here. Insane
finally, sonic can be good
no it's always been
Whats the song in the intro?
It's from Space Harrier. Another Sega franchise that is really good btw.
You run and fly towards the horizon as monsters loom from the distance and you have to shoot or dodge them. Ending each area with a unique boss.
It's downright addictive!
This video is partially confusing.
?
Still no unleashed((((
what about secret rings.black knight.advance1.advance3.battle
Aw no Chaotix? 😢
Just emulate it
How much will this cost lol sega will probably make this 300 dollars and how much storage will this take On the whole system 😭😭😭😭🤣I can only imagine I need this to be real now!😭
Need added Sonic X Shadow Generations
Is this real?
Still playing DX on GC
I've had a Dreamcast copy of both SA1 & SA2 ever since I was a kid, and the DC console that I have still works so I can still play those games on it.
What a waste of time that was. Sonic Unleashed still unplayable, a guide shouldn't be go buy an Xbox. No.
Emulation exist :3
Just
Emulate the 360 version via xenia lmao
It has a mod loader too
@@cascade969 this isn’t related but i like your pfp
I laughed out loud at the Lost World blurb 😂
It really deserves all the hate it gets.
