My theory on the Black Dragon is that it was once a Sungazer who transformed using the negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds similar to Perfect Chaos. My biggest clue is the fact that Trip also turned into a dragon from the Emeralds.
It's understandable why Trip ran, cried, and hid from Knuckles. To a degree, she was reminded of the bullying she suffered from Eggman and Fang. Unlike those jerks though, Knuckles is a bigger man and apologized, admitting his shortcomings. I hope we get another story with Amy and Trip one day.
The weird thing about Eggman and Fang is that even though the former scares her a bit and the latter can be mean to her, they never try to push her above her limits. Fang was only angry with Trip whenever she hurts him clumsily or corners him with danger.
Trip The Sungazer is one of most precious and adorable characters in the Sonic Franchise. She totally deserves to be in more Sonic Media like the modern games and the IDW Comics. Who knows what possibilities hold for Trip. But one thing is for sure, Trip and the other classic characters like Mighty and Ray really have potential to be in other Sonic Media.
Even major characters like Blaze and Silver have to some extent fallen into obscurity as they are not mentioned in the Sonic websites or most of their recent games aside from Generations and any party game
I’m glad to see that Trip is getting more love. Though, I’m honestly surprised to learn Trip is NOT the last of her kind. I totally thought she was on her own, just like Knuckles. But it’s a nice twist.
Tails has Sonic, Cream has Amy, so I think it's nice that Trip has Knuckles as a big brother figure. I wish they'd bring her over to the modern era so we can see more of that dynamic with the two of them.
Sega has said that some characters would be unique to the 2D series, like Mighty and Ray. Also why they are sticking to Amy's old design. I assume Trip will be a 2D game character only
The most important thing to understand about knuckles is that he isn’t stupid. He is naïve and poorly socialized due to his isolation as the last of his people alone guarding the master emerald. This makes him vulnerable to being tricked, but not a complete imbecile like boom knuckles.
@@thymecrafter He acts like an idiot most of the time. It is *possible* that is just the way that his lack of socialization, and naivete are shown, but it felt to me more like he was just far stupider than main canon Knux. And I couldn't stand that.
I love Trip, can't wait to see the modern version. Her classic version is cute and I'm sure her modern version will be cute too! Thank you so much for the work you've done Sonic Theory, I enjoy listening to you!
Excuse me, but have You and everyone else noticed that the "Adult Sungazers" don't have "Modern Eyes" in the slightest? And why isn't Cream's eyes pure ebony, being the same height if not the exact same age as Classic Sonic in Generations etc.? 🤨The more I think about it, the more I'm really beginning to wonder if there's more to that "Phantom Ruby" and its reality warping properties in how it affected the Classic Era than meets the eye if you know what I mean!
@UCRYqaLYCGuYduYnl2KqsoWQ It's like what I'm saying is going over your head or something while at the same time you're also proving my point with what you just wrote. 🤨😬😶
@@deepsoul7418 It was still the classic art style. If we were to see the sungazers at all in the current (in-universe) day then they would all have colored eyes.
I’m so happy Trip made a return in this! She’s probably my favorite of the newer Sonic characters and I just think she’s such a sweetheart. I also love that she gets this dynamic with one of my favorite og characters! I think she and Knuckles work so well together with this mentor-student relationship :)
Same here! Too bad that it'll likely never happen because so many Sonic "fans" are insistent that Classic and Modern should be separate (even though they clearly aren't.)
@ yea I REALLY hate that IMO they should do one last cell shaded classic game and then say goodbye to classic Sonic putting all those "classic characters“ in the modern games
@@HdNinjaMsBrickStudioI've personally never been a big fan of this whole Classic/Modern divide. Literally the only reason that this entire fiasco came about in the first place is because of whiney fan boys complaining about Sonic's eye colour in Sonic 4, and it just feels like Sega have been trying to appeal to these whiners ever since. Now don't get me wrong, both Mania and Superstars were great games, but people seem to have honestly deluded themselves into thinking that Sonic's design has something to do with those game's quality. I've suggested for years that Sega should make a game with the momentum based physics and gameplay of the original Sonic games and Mania but with the Modern character designs, and these Classic purists just can't get their heads around that. "NO! Not the stinky Modern characters! They'd ruin it!" It just seems ridiculous to me that Sega is allowing people with such negative attitudes to ultimately dictate what the Sonic series can and can't be.
I get they don't want modern character to appear in classic because mess with their backstory, like Shadow or Cream. But I don't see any problem the way around. To be fair we have a more wide array of characters to work with in modern era and the even plan to use comic characters soon(as they have mentions In frontiers) , that can be used in classic. PD: though i hope they made something big with Mighty, Ray, Fang, Bark and Bean, because officially they are missing (being a recurrent gag) in the modern era, missing and wanted posters , small mentions in Tails Tube.
I just remembered in the promotional Tails tube of Superstar they bother to give a simple explanation for were Trip were since them. With this look like they are open to use it in modern era, and simply are building background and dinámica dor the moment.
I think they did a good job at moving the classic era timeline forward. Now we don’t have to wonder when the comics take place until a new classic game comes out. It makes me wonder when that will be done for the modern day sonic comics. When will we see sage in the comic to signify that we have moved to the time after frontiers
I genuinely love that Trip was expanded upon because we havent had a new original classic playable character since amy, not too long ago but considering before amy and the reintroduction of mighty and ray, the new original yada yada characters were the chaotix plus bomb and heavy. Expanding on Trip will also make her feel like a mainstay in classic games Also nice touch using the Genshin OST, the game has melodies that put you to sleep in a good way
Some of Knuckles comments reminds me how Boom Knuckles refers to events in a different way to make himself look good than Sonic or everyone else, that line of "It wasn't too long ago I bailed Sonic out and his buddies" that exactly sound like that Boom Knuckles would say.
I’m go happy we got to explore more of Trip’s character. That she has her own tribe, and part of the reason she worked with Eggman and Fang was to protect her people. Trip may be very shy and unsure, she’s actually very kind and even enjoys herself with her animal friends. I also like how Trip has more gold than the others. It fits with her being the guardian, of a higher position than the others. Of course, we can’t ignore Knuckles. This really helps understand how he developed over the course of the games. How he used to be harsh also towards Amy and Tails, but slowly comes to be more gentle and understanding. Trip and Knuckles are very different guardians, but both do their own best.
1:46 Dude, HE.TURNED. OFF. SUPER SONIC. That is a massive achievement, the only time Sonic dropped the emeralds from a hard hit, not from Chaos, Biolizard or Solaris. Imagine Piccolo turning off Super Saiyan
@@SkeightBoardp_YT 17 if you count the fighters emerald (no. 8), Eggman's fake, Tails' fake and then the Super Emeralds. Though originally, the Chaos Emeralds were supposed to just be rare minerals. I wonder if they'll introduce more..

Yup best girl is back! ^^ i realllly hope trip shows up in the modern caat i swear a character like her fits with sonic's modern cast she's just too good to be left out!
I mean, this comic makes a good tie-in between Knuckles' character in Modern Era and how he was in Classic Era. You know, besides the "gullible echidna works for eggman" thing happening twice. (Sonic Adventure and Sonic Advance 2)
Yeah. Trip is back wheee :D And i like this character 🐶👍 Also was like knuckles, when trip say she's not the last of his kind Like:"WHAT THE F💍💍k?! WHERE THEY COME FROM?!?!"
This is mThis my first video that I've seen from you and the last thing I expected was the verse at the end, plus the fact that it ties in to the video
Literally ever since Superstars ive always wanted Trip wnd Knuckles to interact. I feel like they have so much in common and my headcannon has totally always been guarding the emerald for him when he went adventuring
What'll be nice is if sega can make a game that bridges the classic and modern eras, so we can find out exactly why we haven't seen characters like Trip, mighty, ray, or any of the rest of the strictly classic cast.
Whhhhaaattt ?! Trip’s family members I were surprised first time I thought knuckles not have it . They are lucky alive are special hardest hide on secret I’m strong very interesting about trip the sungazer. I have sonic superstars on my Nintendo switch I’m old veteran deaf sonic fan . First time add new classic character finally i saw trip were I find out sungazer are lizard looklike real and dragon too both im hooked to her look good character pretty i were surprised her abilities of same as sonic and knuckles and Amy rose and tails has . I believe best classic ERA were my old favorite on my childhood i know . Welcome , Trip were newer sonic family of sonic franchises ! I’m glad I never give up to my historical life.
She was an unexpected surprise and delight to this comic. If anything now I want a sequel story of her geeking out about visiting Angel Island. 😊 Now I’m curious. She’s not the last of her kind, so does that mean there’s other guardians like in the tapestry? And if that’s the case what do they guard since the chaos emeralds aren’t on the islands?🤔
If knuckles was never taught then there's a high probability that he has abilities he's not aware of because no one taught him to do those things. I doubt that will ever come up in any game, comic, or show because the only way it could is if Knuckles met someone who was on his island before his people were wiped out. I think it should though. Sonic and Trip both have supernatural abilities Trip can become a little dragon and Sonic can run at supersonic speeds. Amy is also a hedgeog so she's probably faster than sound too if she wants to be. Tails can just straight up fly... Knuckles... What can knuckles actually do that's unique to him and his extinct race?
@@GarciaSweet still if he'd had parents toteach him maybe those abilities would be refined into something more. (also I'd argue neither of those abilities really see a lot of use, I didn't even know he could glide)
@@the_magma_human33 I'll be honest... I'm not a sonic fan, I'm an IDW fan. They could get me into anything by writing a comic for it's universe. They're so dedicated to finding every little piece of lore from any game, movie, show, obscure toy, crossover, or comment from the creators and making as much of it as they can work within the one universe. I wish I could achieve that.
@@lexibyday9504Knuckles has been gliding in every game he has been in, including his debut. I’m suprized you just read the idw comics everybody is just constantly hating on them I thought only people who played the games would read the Sonic idw comics. Recently, knuckles has been using fire powers and it looks like there trying to tie knuckles into the flames of disaster (which is related to 06) in the movies verse
This work so we'll with the IDW Sonic annual focused on Blaze. There Knuckles give with conseul to Blaze doubts, it work for itself. But this make Knucless retroactively more experienced in giving advice, gove exposeure to when Knuckles gain said experience, showing us a more inexperienced version of him learning and reflecting over his mistakes with his friend and the acerts. Itself The IDW Knuckles is potrait as a more mature and wise compared to classic version, but the games not give much exposure to this learning, excepting the first games of the modern era, oddly forces(though only the taking the lead) and Frontiers
When people ask me why I love the IDW Sonic comics, it's because of things like this. It's not an interpretation of the main series, like Archie or Fleetway. The IDW comic series *IS* part of the main series in all the right ways. I can absolutely see this happening before Knuckles' story arc in Sonic Adventure. Also, marvelous use of Proverbs 9:9 at the end, really tying together this story and that profound wisdom from Solomon
that was amezing! were did you got the comic form? anyways i hope she becomes the real 5th sonic character alongside sonic, tails, knuckles and army. maybe a trip game would be cool!
I'd rather them make a Plus version of Superstars and fix some of its issues before making a sequel. It could really use some things like checkpoints with rings for the Golden Capital and Egg Fortress bosses, more rings and explanations on what to do in the Last Story, the Metals, Tails Doll, and Mecha Sonic as alternate costumes, removal of the invincibility frames for some or all mini bosses and bosses, and some overall cleaning up where some people might have pointed out. I don't think that would be too hard to implement, and doing those things would improve the game dramatically in my opinion.
I would like to see a video that tries to explain the Freedom Fighters into the IDW. Their origin, their personal stories, and a plot that brings them in.
It didn’t sold that well at launch but according to Sega’s quarterly earnings it managed to hold pretty well and ended up becoming a financial success at Sega
I'm seeing many, many, MANY based comments down here. I love Trip so much, I really hope that she continues to appear in more games and comics like this :D
I like that you added a Bible verse that connected to the message of the story in 13:08. More UA-camrs should do that when they do storytelling analysis'. Thanks for doing that, and God bless.
imagine if there were more echidna out there that even knuckles is unaware of. Even though his tribe is gone, there could be other tribes out there. Ones that have different vibes to his. Knuckles would still be the last of his tribe, but not the last of his kind. Even funnier if the first tribe he finds are actually more like sonic; adding to how different they are and maybe even why they survived compared to his.
@@rainpooper7088 did penders say on what grounds he sued them on? Because lets say it was a tribe of echidna's whos appearance changed over time to not look like the echidna's we know and that they go under another name now; technically they aren't anything like penders design. However if its the situation of penders just saying "anything echidna is mine" then yeah I can see why they never tried it again. If impossible we could expand the lore of the ancients/coco's more and go that route? Tbh I just want to see knuckles have a tribe to return to; the guy needs someone to be with.
I can see Knuckels, Trip, and Blaze being good friends. All of them are gaurdians of powerful relics that can save or doom the world. All of them have a heavy burden of responsibility because of that duty. And all of them knows what that’s like. Save for Trip, being younger. They aren’t isolated because of that responsibility either. Though, I can see all three having each other’s back if something happened to the relics they protect. Or join forces with Sonic again.
I don't know about you, but Sonic Superstars is definitely a personal favorite of mine. I personally really liked the graphics and the gameplay and music was fun. I have a lot of nostalgia with it too. However, I didn't like the bosses because of how long they are. I believe Amy and Trip were the highlight of the story. I personally related and sympathised with Trip. Before I played Sonic Superstars I would rarely stand up for myself simply because I didn't want to go through the effort of taking action. However, seeing Trip stand up to Eggman and Fang at the end of the game and siding with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy taught me that if I don't like the way someone is acting towards you, you don't have to take it and standing up for yourself is highly beneficial as you don't have to tolerate people treating you like dirt and can have friends who care about you, unconditionally. This is a character arc I relate to a lot.
Y'know it's nice to see someone liking Superstars like me, it's not my favorite but I like alot about it especially Trip and the graphics, it's always seen as mid
Shadow is my favorite character, trip is my favorite CLASSIC character every since watching the trailer and playing the game, shadow is just because he's, well, y'know
Stories like these reminds me: Knuckles is more than a guardian of the emerald. He’s a hero, a friend. But also, a historian, a wildlife protector/ranger in a sense, and an archaeologist. Like Rouge but, more legal.😅
It makes me think of how the Biolizard transformed from a small lizard into something almost draconic from the chaos emeralds. but its transformation was imperfect.
Him uppercutting Sonic and knocking the emeralds out on Sonic 3 being there on the panel had me cracking up. What if the black dragon is one of her parents it seems like the storyline they would go with and it killed the other parent in a fight to seal it or the other parent is the seal
I hope she returns in the mainline IDW comics in modern stylr and she and her island are part of an arc that's part of the fifth saga and i hope that in turn it takes place after sonic frontiers
Enjoyed the video and the song at the end. Sadly my Shazam app won't recognize the song and no Lyric finder site is helping either. Anyone know what song was playing at the end?
I think the armor trip is wearing is something from the ancients in Sonic frontiers, In frontiers, we know that Knuckle's has tried punching one of the ruins and admits its REALLY tough, and in Sonic Frontiers, we also know the ancients before their battle gave the chaos emeralds to a tribe of people. It was never stated what tribe it was, and the north star islands have a direct correlation with it being said latent abilities from each individual chaos emerald is awaken on the islands (hence why we never see superstars emerald powers again). So I think the ancients must've given the emeralds to this tribe, and maybe a corrupt sungazer tapped into negative energy of the chaos emerald, turning into the evil black dragon we see in sonic superstars, as we see Trip harnessed the power of the positive energy of the chaos emeralds (like sonic does) and becomes a bright golden dragon. The sungazers must've fought the dragon, but it was too strong, and sealed it away (much like how the ancients sealed The End away). Then later gave the emeralds to the echidna tribe due to its power that they were not ready to use or comprehended it. The murals in golden capital zone were also said to be lost to time so its safe to assume that mural was made A LONG time ago, most likely predating things on Angel island since Angel island isnt THAT ancient.
My theory on the Black Dragon is that it was once a Sungazer who transformed using the negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds similar to Perfect Chaos. My biggest clue is the fact that Trip also turned into a dragon from the Emeralds.
A reasonable assumption.
Yeah, or something similar with werehog?
That does make sense.
Makes sense due to trips super form is a dragon
Because Trip shares some similar moves with Vector like her jump animation, I wondered what his Super Form would be since both are Reptilia
It's understandable why Trip ran, cried, and hid from Knuckles. To a degree, she was reminded of the bullying she suffered from Eggman and Fang. Unlike those jerks though, Knuckles is a bigger man and apologized, admitting his shortcomings.
I hope we get another story with Amy and Trip one day.
The weird thing about Eggman and Fang is that even though the former scares her a bit and the latter can be mean to her, they never try to push her above her limits. Fang was only angry with Trip whenever she hurts him clumsily or corners him with danger.
Trip The Sungazer is one of most precious and adorable characters in the Sonic Franchise. She totally deserves to be in more Sonic Media like the modern games and the IDW Comics. Who knows what possibilities hold for Trip. But one thing is for sure, Trip and the other classic characters like Mighty and Ray really have potential to be in other Sonic Media.

I believe best classic ERA were my old favorite on my childhood i know . Welcome , Trip were newer sonic family of sonic franchises ! I’m glad I never give up to my historical life.
Good to see knux ain't alone as a guard dog anymore
I'm just happy that she's not a one-off character anymore.
We need a Classic Sonic game that includes Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Mighty, Ray, Trip, and Team Chaotix!!!
She was an unexpected surprise and delight to this comic.
If anything now I want a sequel story of her geeking out about visiting Angel Island. 😊
Now I’m curious. She’s not the last of her kind, so does that mean there’s other guardians like in the tapestry? And if that’s the case what do they guard since the chaos emeralds aren’t on the islands?🤔
The Black Onyx
I am so happy to see trip return because she a fun character in my opinion.
If knuckles was never taught then there's a high probability that he has abilities he's not aware of because no one taught him to do those things. I doubt that will ever come up in any game, comic, or show because the only way it could is if Knuckles met someone who was on his island before his people were wiped out. I think it should though. Sonic and Trip both have supernatural abilities Trip can become a little dragon and Sonic can run at supersonic speeds. Amy is also a hedgeog so she's probably faster than sound too if she wants to be. Tails can just straight up fly... Knuckles... What can knuckles actually do that's unique to him and his extinct race?
Knuckles can glide and is strong as Sonic is fast Wtf 😭
@@GarciaSweet still if he'd had parents toteach him maybe those abilities would be refined into something more. (also I'd argue neither of those abilities really see a lot of use, I didn't even know he could glide)
@@lexibyday9504 wait if you didn't know that Knuckles could glide, are you new to the sonic franchise?
@@the_magma_human33 I'll be honest... I'm not a sonic fan, I'm an IDW fan. They could get me into anything by writing a comic for it's universe. They're so dedicated to finding every little piece of lore from any game, movie, show, obscure toy, crossover, or comment from the creators and making as much of it as they can work within the one universe. I wish I could achieve that.
@@lexibyday9504Knuckles has been gliding in every game he has been in, including his debut. I’m suprized you just read the idw comics everybody is just constantly hating on them I thought only people who played the games would read the Sonic idw comics. Recently, knuckles has been using fire powers and it looks like there trying to tie knuckles into the flames of disaster (which is related to 06) in the movies verse
Tails afraid of lightning is CANON!!!
YAYYYY!!
always has been-
It's been canon for years though???
Lightning McQueen here-
1:30 I never thought the Sandopolis Ghosts were so cute.
There's a reason why Sonic's nickname for Knuckles is Knucklehead
This work so we'll with the IDW Sonic annual focused on Blaze.
There Knuckles give with conseul to Blaze doubts, it work for itself.
But this make Knucless retroactively more experienced in giving advice, gove exposeure to when Knuckles gain said experience, showing us a more inexperienced version of him learning and reflecting over his mistakes with his friend and the acerts.
Itself The IDW Knuckles is potrait as a more mature and wise compared to classic version, but the games not give much exposure to this learning, excepting the first games of the modern era, oddly forces(though only the taking the lead) and Frontiers
11:17
Of course, he crashlanded the egg-pod
man i was kinda scared trip would end up like bean and bark, amazing characters that barley appear in games and are locked to the classic universe
Cute Dragon lizard needs to return
Classic Character I want to see in future games:
Mighty, Ray, Honey, Fang, Bean, Bark, & Trip
So all of them
When people ask me why I love the IDW Sonic comics, it's because of things like this. It's not an interpretation of the main series, like Archie or Fleetway. The IDW comic series *IS* part of the main series in all the right ways. I can absolutely see this happening before Knuckles' story arc in Sonic Adventure.
Also, marvelous use of Proverbs 9:9 at the end, really tying together this story and that profound wisdom from Solomon
8:31 Knuckles…WHY JUST WHY DO IT LIKE SONIC .
that was amezing! were did you got the comic form? anyways i hope she becomes the real 5th sonic character alongside sonic, tails, knuckles and army. maybe a trip game would be cool!
Trip and knuckles have a adorable dynamic awesome song at the end who sings it?
i was gonna say the same thing lol it slapped im pretty sure its Ai tho
@shibby1747 pretty good for a Ai song i wonder of there's a full version?
i love mecha mk 2 so much and when i saw 1:16 i genuinely squealed a bit and clapped my hands
I'd rather them make a Plus version of Superstars and fix some of its issues before making a sequel. It could really use some things like checkpoints with rings for the Golden Capital and Egg Fortress bosses, more rings and explanations on what to do in the Last Story, the Metals, Tails Doll, and Mecha Sonic as alternate costumes, removal of the invincibility frames for some or all mini bosses and bosses, and some overall cleaning up where some people might have pointed out. I don't think that would be too hard to implement, and doing those things would improve the game dramatically in my opinion.
I would like to see a video that tries to explain the Freedom Fighters into the IDW. Their origin, their personal stories, and a plot that brings them in.
7:30 so apparently she enchanted her armor with Thorns
I thought this game didn't sell that well? Anyway, I would like for Sega to stop forgetting about Sonic characters
It sold fine, people just like to talk shit
It didn’t review well, but it still made good sales thanks to marketing
@@unkownunkown2420 it's got a 73 on metacritic, it wasn't reviewed poorly
It didn’t sold that well at launch but according to Sega’s quarterly earnings it managed to hold pretty well and ended up becoming a financial success at Sega
First Wade, now Trip. How many people is Knuckles gonna train? 😂
A lot, because it is through teaching others that one can learn
You're forgetting Emerl. Knuckles wanted to train him.
He also taught Amy how to use her hammer
I'm seeing many, many, MANY based comments down here.
I love Trip so much, I really hope that she continues to appear in more games and comics like this :D
I like that you added a Bible verse that connected to the message of the story in 13:08. More UA-camrs should do that when they do storytelling analysis'. Thanks for doing that, and God bless.
I can’t wait till we get the chaotix anniversary next year
imagine if there were more echidna out there that even knuckles is unaware of. Even though his tribe is gone, there could be other tribes out there.
Ones that have different vibes to his. Knuckles would still be the last of his tribe, but not the last of his kind.
Even funnier if the first tribe he finds are actually more like sonic; adding to how different they are and maybe even why they survived compared to his.
You mean like the Nocturnus Clan? Yeah, Penders sued the hell out of them for that.
@@rainpooper7088 did penders say on what grounds he sued them on?
Because lets say it was a tribe of echidna's whos appearance changed over time to not look like the echidna's we know and that they go under another name now; technically they aren't anything like penders design.
However if its the situation of penders just saying "anything echidna is mine" then yeah I can see why they never tried it again.
If impossible we could expand the lore of the ancients/coco's more and go that route? Tbh I just want to see knuckles have a tribe to return to; the guy needs someone to be with.
imagine trip grown up with a full armor set and knows how to fight similiar to knuckles might just be a op ally if ever appears again
I can see Knuckels, Trip, and Blaze being good friends. All of them are gaurdians of powerful relics that can save or doom the world. All of them have a heavy burden of responsibility because of that duty. And all of them knows what that’s like. Save for Trip, being younger. They aren’t isolated because of that responsibility either. Though, I can see all three having each other’s back if something happened to the relics they protect. Or join forces with Sonic again.
im very glad how trip din't fell on the Classic purgatory...
She has a lot of potential in the future tbh
Modern trip along mighty and ray would be so nice
I don't know about you, but Sonic Superstars is definitely a personal favorite of mine. I personally really liked the graphics and the gameplay and music was fun. I have a lot of nostalgia with it too. However, I didn't like the bosses because of how long they are.
I believe Amy and Trip were the highlight of the story. I personally related and sympathised with Trip. Before I played Sonic Superstars I would rarely stand up for myself simply because I didn't want to go through the effort of taking action. However, seeing Trip stand up to Eggman and Fang at the end of the game and siding with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy taught me that if I don't like the way someone is acting towards you, you don't have to take it and standing up for yourself is highly beneficial as you don't have to tolerate people treating you like dirt and can have friends who care about you, unconditionally. This is a character arc I relate to a lot.
Y'know it's nice to see someone liking Superstars like me, it's not my favorite but I like alot about it especially Trip and the graphics, it's always seen as mid
Shadow is my favorite character, trip is my favorite CLASSIC character every since watching the trailer and playing the game, shadow is just because he's, well, y'know
Stories like these reminds me: Knuckles is more than a guardian of the emerald. He’s a hero, a friend. But also, a historian, a wildlife protector/ranger in a sense, and an archaeologist. Like Rouge but, more legal.😅
Trip is an adorable little bean and deserves all the love
It makes me think of how the Biolizard transformed from a small lizard into something almost draconic from the chaos emeralds. but its transformation was imperfect.
1:30 ghost: Na let him cook
Now i want to know the cover of Gotta Go Fast at the end of the video.
ua-cam.com/video/K10fVNGSk_Y/v-deo.htmlsi=iIxk2mQ45ZFEeAA2
All I could find
Him uppercutting Sonic and knocking the emeralds out on Sonic 3 being there on the panel had me cracking up. What if the black dragon is one of her parents it seems like the storyline they would go with and it killed the other parent in a fight to seal it or the other parent is the seal
Well Would You Look At That, Real Sungazers!
I hope she returns in the mainline IDW comics in modern stylr and she and her island are part of an arc that's part of the fifth saga and i hope that in turn it takes place after sonic frontiers
Why do the sonic superstars clips look like they can be an sonic anime???
I like the Bible verse at the end. You never really see that in gaming videos. You read regularly?
Gotta say, I love how every track in thi video is from Genshin haha
Trip is so adorable....Really!!!!
An amazing comic.
Trip my beloved
Enjoyed the video and the song at the end. Sadly my Shazam app won't recognize the song and no Lyric finder site is helping either.
Anyone know what song was playing at the end?
Might be an AI generated song. I too tried to search for it, but it's like it never existed before
I think the armor trip is wearing is something from the ancients in Sonic frontiers, In frontiers, we know that Knuckle's has tried punching one of the ruins and admits its REALLY tough, and in Sonic Frontiers, we also know the ancients before their battle gave the chaos emeralds to a tribe of people. It was never stated what tribe it was, and the north star islands have a direct correlation with it being said latent abilities from each individual chaos emerald is awaken on the islands (hence why we never see superstars emerald powers again). So I think the ancients must've given the emeralds to this tribe, and maybe a corrupt sungazer tapped into negative energy of the chaos emerald, turning into the evil black dragon we see in sonic superstars, as we see Trip harnessed the power of the positive energy of the chaos emeralds (like sonic does) and becomes a bright golden dragon. The sungazers must've fought the dragon, but it was too strong, and sealed it away (much like how the ancients sealed The End away). Then later gave the emeralds to the echidna tribe due to its power that they were not ready to use or comprehended it.
The murals in golden capital zone were also said to be lost to time so its safe to assume that mural was made A LONG time ago, most likely predating things on Angel island since Angel island isnt THAT ancient.
1:30 the ghost be like: yo....let knux cook
Okay but what is the name of the song at the end?!!!
