Sonic the Hedgehog[a] is a Japanese video game series and media franchise created by Yuji Naka, Naoto Ohshima, and Hirokazu Yasuhara for Sega. The franchise follows Sonic, an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog who battles the evil Doctor Eggman, a mad scientist. The main Sonic the Hedgehog games are platformers mostly developed by Sonic Team; other games, developed by various studios, include spin-offs in the racing, fighting, party and sports genres. The franchise also incorporates printed media, animations, feature films, and merchandise.
Naka, Ohshima, and Yasuhara developed the first Sonic game, released in 1991 for the Sega Genesis, to provide Sega with a mascot to compete with Nintendo's Mario. Its success helped Sega become one of the leading video game companies during the fourth generation of video game consoles in the early 1990s. Sega Technical Institute developed the next three Sonic games, plus the spin-off Sonic Spinball (1993). A number of Sonic games were also developed for Sega's 8-bit consoles, the Master System and Game Gear. After a hiatus during the unsuccessful Saturn era, the first major 3D Sonic game, Sonic Adventure, was released in 1998 for the Dreamcast. Sega exited the console market and shifted to third-party development in 2001, continuing the series on Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation systems.
While Sonic games often have unique game mechanics and stories, they feature recurring elements such as the ring-based health system, level locales, and fast-paced gameplay. Games typically feature Sonic setting out to stop Eggman's schemes for world domination, and the player navigates levels that include springs, slopes, bottomless pits, and vertical loops. Later games added a large cast of characters; some, such as Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Shadow the Hedgehog, have starred in spin-offs. The franchise has crossed over with other video game franchises in games such as Mario & Sonic, Sega All-Stars, and Super Smash Bros.
Sonic the Hedgehog is Sega's flagship franchise and one of the bestselling video game franchises, selling over 140 million units by 2016 and grossing over $5 billion as of 2014. Series sales and free-to-play mobile game downloads totaled 1.5 billion as of 2022. The Genesis Sonic games have been described as representative of the culture of the 1990s and listed among the greatest of all time. Although later games, notably the 2006 video game and Rise of Lyric, received poorer reviews, Sonic is influential in the video game industry and is frequently referenced in popular culture. The franchise is known for its fandom that produces unofficial media, such as fan art and fangames.

Nah but tbh that thumbnail goes HARD.
totally.
Lmao it is hard af! Instant click
So far the 4th island is the only place I like to run around. More vegetation , beautiful spring water falls, trees covered the sun and alien structures that feels like an alien structure. It all feels right for sonic nature.
Yeah, me too
I like to enjoy Rhea best by going to Kronos and SSPing myself over the invisible wall
Even if I still disagree that 2D and 3D should stay separate, I do agree that the 2D in Chaos Island heavily clashed with the open-zone approach. I wish there was an option where if you get in a 2D section, you could click the right stick to restore 3D movement and camera controls and get out.
I also really like Ares Island. The art direction is really good, the platforms that lead to the chaos emeralds look really cool, the enemies are fun to fight (except the shield enemies), and I just like the desert vibe in general.
Fitting how one of my favorite islands is themed after where I live, that being the desert of Arizona.
I really like the atmosphere of all the islands. I adore them all!
Aris island is best structured wise but visually is most blandest looking island in game. Chaos island looks a lot better
Great video! I really respect your rankings and I'm glad you put Kronos as high as you did.
My personal ranking of these islands would be:
6. Original Ouranos Island
5. Chaos Island
4. Ares Island (I know, it's a hot take)
3. Rhea Island
2. Kronos Island
1. Ouranos Island Revisited
I honestly think Ouranos is the best simply because it has the smoothest terrain, making it the best place to run around. I wish it looked different but it is still about the best looking island.
Chaos Island has the worst traversal because of the gaps between landmasses and the amount of 2D.
I couldn't agree more, Ouranos Island has a lot of space to move around and it's also intuitive to navigate, and the smaller number of minigames doesn't really bother me that much, and the music is a masterpiece for me, especially the Theme of Starfall Islands, and the island is very aesthetic for me (especially with cloudy weather).
As for the Chaos Island, it’s quite difficult to move around (I just drop dashed through the mountains lol), and I couldn’t get to the part of the map where one of the Emeralds was located, because it had to be reached through the underground section, and I couldn’t find it, since it is not indicated on the open map and I think that one of the rails or springs should lead to this territory, also 2D sections there are too much and pretty forced but the visuals are varied and also beautiful.
Fr
I agree with you too I love oranos
The end in the final horizon would be my favourite Titan fight in the game IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO FIGHT THE LOCK ON
I think Rhea nails the lonely vibe that frontiers was going for better than any other island, due to the lack of any other characters for 99% of the island, it really drives home that isolated feel, and I love it!
Chaos is my favorite. The only thing that held it back was the abundance of 2D, but that has changed since update 2 with the Koco challenges.
Many ppl dropped it at chaos
@@jasonblack2477 Not likely.
@@reubensalter8125 its very likely😂
@@jasonblack2477 Not at all.
@@reubensalter8125 chaos was the worst bruh many did
Funny Since Ares is by far my LEAST favorite island. And the funny thing is Wyvern is my favorite boss of the game (excluding the DLC final boss obviously) haha. This is how I would rank them myself.
1: Oranous Revisted.
2: Chaos Island.
3: Kronos Island.
4: Oranous Island.
5: Rea Island.
6: Ares Island.
I prefer rhea to chaos idk why but running around in a empty island is great and I prefer ouranos over chaos and rhea
I know I'm like the 10th person but the thumbnail is so clean.
Rhea island is my favorite, I like running around without any enemies in the way. It’s my go to island when I want to mess around.
my ranking is the same as yours with the only difference is that i would have chaos and kronos island switch places.
by the way am i the only one who wish rhea island was snow island, that would have looked gorgeous.
Awesome thumbnail!😎💯
what did you think about the sonic centric platforming in ouranos revisited?
If you go into battle rush and simply ignore the enemies, you can explore the islands without the floating geometry and platforms, and they look AMAZING on PS5.
My ranking:
1. Ares- The best designed island and the best progression pacing. F*ck Shark and Strider though.
2. Ouranos (The Final Horizon)- Great guardians, even better cyberspace stages then OG Ouranos, 3 additional playable characters and some of the best platforming challenges and map puzzles in the game. If the 5th trial was better thought out and Knuckles's glide had better turning with no windup animation, I would've put this at #1.
3. Ouranos- Best collection of individual content in the base game (cyberspace, guardians and platforming). The lack of variety and 0 pacing brings it down a bit.
4. Kronos- Kishimoto has explained he seperated Kronos, Rhea and Ouranos because playtesters thought too much content from the start will be overwhelming. I think it was a smart move. Having the first island being comparatively small is a good way to ease players into the vibe of the game. Overall solid, but it offers the least interesting cyberspace stages and platforming challenges.
5. Chaos- P much same as what you said. I used to dislike this island at first because too much 2D felt counter-intuitive to the game's appeal- freedom. Once I tried this island with the spin dash though, my experience became much better. With the spin dash I can skip a lot of the 2D and play these platforming challenges in 3D, which is visually jarring, but nothing I couldn't get used to. It's also filled to the brim with ramps to launch you everywhere. Essentially, the spin dash turned an island with restricted freedom into one with arguably more freedom then any other island. I'm still ranking Chaos island low because on a normal playthrough I'm forced to play it without the spin dash. Without the spin dash, I would've ranked it last place.
6. Rhea- Climbing the towers is fun, but the lack of content does unfortunately brings it down. This island IS fun for what it does offer, but because it's missing some meat I rank it last place.
I agree shark and strider can go kill themselves lol
Ares is the best designed island for sure, but the aesthetic isn't my thing. I probably gravitate to other islands more, including Chaos, because I like their look and music more
17:09 "Hit a lot harder" proceeds to get smacked by Giganto 😂😂😂😂 5:53p.m. 10/15/2023
Channel Pup is a true sonic fan.
You can tell, cause his artstyle is inconsistent like the franchise in a whole.
You're not far off. I've always appreciated Sonic's penchant for moving forward. I think the Sonic artstyle is too consistent nowadays. I'd love to see them vary it up from game to game. Give each one a distinctive look.
Hm, fair and valid points and opinions, i hope they do a better job with the Next Title.
By the way, Superstars seems to be out now, I will look forward to your review.
that thumbnail goes pretty hard but not as hard as 19 inches of
I completly agree with you, but I really enjoyed pin ball
The pinball mini game, while not great, really isn't as bad as everyone says. You get such a big multiplier, so the huge point counter isn't as bad.
I honestly would’ve preferred if that Rhea Kronos and ouranous were all connected as the first island. How I would do it is after your beat the original Kronos you can come back and explore the rest of the island and you could re fight giganto in the arena it was meant to be in rather than going back to the other area
Insane thumbnail
Ares is my favorite of the Starfall island
best boss fight in the series is CRAZY
I would rank them:
6. Rhea Island
5. Chaos Island
4. Ares Island
3. Kronos Island
2. Ouranos Island
1. Ouranos Island Revisited
I agree and I really like oranos
Question whats your opening theme from?
I think the real reason why it looks like sonic has sexual tension with knuckles is simply because his expressions when he’s flirting and expressions when he’s trolling look IDENTICAL. So it comes off like he’s flirting when he’s trolling.
Or he's just hiding the fact he has a crush on Knuckles's sister
Peak tumbnail
Pup, have you seen the launch trailer for Spider-GOAT 2?
Yup, Spidey fans are eating good this year
I SURE HAVE.
Honestly I'd rank the islands in the same order
24:01 fin.
Congratulations on the 95.4k subscribers pup. Bee theory Milkbro 4ever Wallace!😊
Sonic Frontiers sequel concept soon?
Rhea Island knowing damn well it's in last place
4 HOURS LATE SQUAD WHERE YOU AT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
There is barely other platforming challenges for the other characters other than sonic himself. Like I have found 0 for knuckles so far.
Wdym
The island is literally cluttered with them, what are you taking about???
@@Natezilla_2 it may seem that way but when you actually try looking for them. There’s barely any. The most is Amy and sonic.
@@isabelortiz1230 it’s just super difficult to find any challenges for the other characters
There no sound
First! Awesome video btw!

Just hope the future, the next open zone have unique looking n fun islands instead of unreal engibe beta lookin ass islands. Along with well balanced challenges n polish boss fights
What? those island were fun and they weren;t beta and they were great
@@reubensalter8125 No, just no they weren't, especially with the pop in🙄. Tbf most open world games have pop in but still for Frontiers case, it's bad especially since ur moving at the speed of sound so most likely you'll slip up. Plus the islands just aren't that interesting. Ya cool n sad that the islands are the graveyard of Koco but I wish they added more interesting monuments that explore what the Kocos did n add it as an obstacle. The saving grace are the floating platforming but still wish they gave better interesting monuments for the ground lvl like how Chaos Island done by adding the broken Death Robots (Actually that island aesthetically looks good but playing the island is horrible cuz of the force 2d). For the next game, I hope they do a better job of adding more obstacles n unique stuff that makes each island interesting explore/speed around on instead of relying too much of floating platforms (Quote I don't mind floating platforms, just as long as it's built for the island and aren't overdone like how Update 3 done it).
@@chillihog1543 You make some good point but I still think they're good anyway, let's agree to disagree
22:55 sonic and knuckles are not attracted to other they’re just friends
Change my mind
sonic: you don't have to be gay to appreciate a mans beauty
Sonic just flirted with Knuckles' sister
@@jskywalker58 that’s a female’s job to appreciate a man’s beauty
Ares is the best
I still say Chaos Island is the WORST of the bunch due to it's overuse of 2D sections. I seriously don't understand why Sonic Team insist of having 2D in 3D games. They have been doing this for the past 13 years now, and while it was tolerable in Colors and Generations, it's literally getting old now. Especially due to the fact that we will be getting more open zone games like Frontiers and 2D sections just ruined the flow of freedom. Let 3D Modern Sonic be 3D and keep 2D for...2D Classic Sonic. Stop with having 2D sections in 3D games for fuck sake.
But Cyberspace separates them. And because it just one island Frontiers gets off easy and fully 2d modern Sonic is really good - remember the Rush series? We need another game like that.
Early squad:
idk what you're talkin about there's only 3
No sound g 😭
Now do this but for the Cyberspace levels
