52:38 Shadow going "whuh- Maria?" Implies that he didn't realise it was Maria and that he just heard someone scream and immediately went to save them. He didn't even realise it was maria
1:07:11 In Frontiers, Sonic actually said that he wouldn’t mind letting Shadow a hand as a short dialogue while exploring. Specifically in Chaos Island.
Honestly, i agree with you on how they should've saved the Mephiles boss reveal until the game release. The whole build-up to him is so good. You literally find his gate at an underground area, hidden away from everything else, with a different mysterious ambient theme; you need FOUR keys to unlock the gate instead of three. And when you fight him... To Shadow, it's just another obstacle in the way to defeat Black Doom. To Mephiles... it's a fight for survival. He clings onto this one chance to defeat Shadow and be brought back onto the main timeline. He wants to break free from the prison between time and space. He wants to *exist.* God, it's peak...
@@wakkaseta8351same. It’s fundamentally a nitpick because it’s still a great part of the game. But it would have been fun to have a different story boss here (Maybe a GUN mech with A.Tower?) and have Mephiles be a hidden boss. Would have played better with his narrative (both in-game and meta) of being a humiliated, forgotten failure.
@@TheBuckweat33 The thing is, all shadow bosses share a theme, they all are related to shadow in a deep level, bio lizard is basically like his brother due to being his prototype, Neo metal copied the bio data of everyone in heroes, including shadow and copying his chaos control, and mephiles who's the most connected to shadow in all of 06, there isn't any other boss I think they could have added and not including the sonic fight was a nice decision since it's canon shadow loses, so playing it again to just see the lose cutscene wouldn't feel so good
It's crazy how one of the best 3D Sonic games of all times isn't even about Sonic, it's about Shadow. But at the same time, if any character deserved having such a universally praised game, it's Shadow the Hedgehog. I'm always surprised when I see people who dislike Shadow when he's just an excellent addition to the franchise. Superficially, Shadow is cool, no doubt there but he's so much more than that. The thing that makes Shadow amazing is his story. He's such a well written character who really blew the door open for how tragic and serious a Sonic story is allowed to be. I got emotional in that final cutscene and it's because Shadow really is the kind of character that can carry a story like this, a story that deserves to be told and deserves to appreciated. Good job Sega, I hope you continue to push the boundaries of what stories can be told in Sonic (and Shadow) games.
I think the main reason a lot of people dislike Shadow is because they think he is furry Vegeta (when in my opinion I would compare him more to...say Android 17)
1:28:20 I have an explanation as to why Shadow asked this even though he absolutely remembered his fight with Black Doom. There’s special dialogue you can get with Gerald where he pleads with Shadow not to tell him anything about the future. So Shadow’s asking him this as if he doesn’t know what happened in order to conceal anything about the future.
Why does Gerald beg Shadow not to tell him anything about the future? I mean logically I know it probably messes things up, but does he actually delve into why?
(1:13:43) Shadow: "I will beat him on equal terms or not at all." Choctopus: "He says that as he was just about to use Doom Powers." Yeah, but Shadow DIDN'T use his Doom Powers because they count as "cheating," apparently. Shadow 'hesitated,' which is how Sonic managed to hit Shadow. But PLOT TWIST Shadow "Got him" in the end with that FAKE Chaos Emerald.😜 Also funny transition from "Damn, Shadow, you got whopped" to "It's not what it looks like" to "What a twist!" Okay, he didn't say that last part.😆
Notice how different Mephiles' fighting style is compared to 06. Back then, he was just playing with Shadow. Now, it's on sight. He tried to ice Shadow the way he did Sonic.
Shadow Generations is probably my second favorite Sonic game as of now. It’s just amazing. (To anyone who cares, my favorite game’s Unleashed) Also, I don’t know how I slept on Supporting Me for so long, it’s one of my new favorite Sonic songs
Because the remix is far superior. Supporting Me is a good song on it's own, but that guitar is just GODLY Shi had me ascending like I'm doom Shadow in this ho
One of those songs where I prefer the remix because of the emphasis on the guitar. Sonic X Shadow Generations is officially the first Sonic game I've played fully. The great reviews made me willing to give it a shot. I loved Shadow Generation's campaign. One of my new favorite platformers .
I love that bit. It always makes me think of the funny image of a sweaty oil-soaked Eggman hard at work making the mech and deliberately implementing Shadow panels in his slot machine.
Some of the best designed levels in years tbh. I prefer this style over the “open world” or whatever of sonic frontiers any day it’s so much better. Even the chaos island levels in gens is more fun than frontiers.
Damn. Just... damn. This was easily one of, if not THE, coolest and most badass Sonic experiences I have ever witnessed. Now I'm even more excited to get the game and play it all for myself. I legit avoided any and all news and/or trailers just to see it all unfold before me completely blind, and I don't even care if this is spoilers. This was just way too awesome to pass up. Congrats, Choc! Can't wait to see what comes next for you! And I'd definitely love to see you tackle Secret Rings and Black Knight at some point too; I genuinely love those games, Black Knight especially. Also, can I just say how kickass Robbie Daymond's performance of Mephiles is in this? Like, this man just cannot miss!
Funny parallel between Shadow05 and Shadow Gens: In Shadow05 in some of the endings when defeating Eggman, he says “I made you & this is how you repay me?” with Shadow answering “I am Shadow [….] This is who I am!” Now I’m the final cutscene with Neo Devil Doom it’s pretty similar, although the order of the liens are switched, with Doom saying “I crafted everything up to now & you would deny me?” and Shadow saying “I am Shadow the Hedgehog, this is the destiny I choose!”
@@OrangeLightning86 Even the dub has its good moments. Spoiler examples below: "I wanted to give back to the country I loved..." "DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT FAIR. NOT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED HERE!"
Man the B plot was so good. Spoilers below meeting the soldier who shot maria, seeing him as a frail old man, STILL tormented with the memories of killing a defenseless child, was incredible. Then of course i also really liked the discovery of basically men in black who worked in GUN to hide these crimes. Its just a really nice texture to the story, yknow. Which is why its also one of my favorite SA2 adaptations.
Time to blow your mind: Radical Highway is Black Doom's Domain Expansion. Think about it. When activated, it takes you to another area where the terrain is warped, AND it had a distinct ability that's pretty OP, that being the ability to nullify Chaos Control.
I loved his little wheeze at a certain point. Along with, the pure joy he showed when the remix music on the Metal Overlord Boss Fight showed up. But remember, *he's "not" a Sonic channel!*
I haven't enjoyed Sonic in years, this game really brought me back to it! I love Shadow so much, and hearing all of your references like "Damn fourth Chaos Emerald" really brought me back haha! Great Video Choc!
1:57:48 "You cannot deny what you are, we are one of the same!" "No black doom, I am... all of me" *I am... all of me starts playing* ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🗣🔥🔥🔥
1:00:40 Not for those with normal hearing, but for the hearing impared '^.^ Otherwise they can't be sure Metal Overlord isn't screaming a word that the sub-titelers missed or something.
This game reignited the Sonic obsession I had when I was a kid. What an incredible project. It also made me develop a newfound appreciation for Shadow - a character I don't recall caring much for in the past, only thinking he was cool on a superficial level. I'm still dumbfounded at how his story, whether it be through the Dark Beginnings animated episodes or through this game's cutscenes, actually got me to cry multiple times, and I can now definitely say he's my favorite character alongside Sonic. If future games are gonna be anything this high quality, I'm SO hyped.
I am very sorry Luigi (not at all, not even close, what a bozo)... BUT THIS... THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A YEAR ABOUT A CHARACTER! ALL HAIL SHADOW! AND LONG LIVE THE ULTIMATE LIFEFORM!
As a 17 year old who grew up with Sonic (watched the 3 90s Sonic cartoons, Sonic X, and Sonic Boom, as well as played the majority of the games, AND read some of the Archie comics and finished the Sonic IDW, Oneshots, and Annuals), Shadow Generations---The Prologue (watched all 3 episodes the moment they released), and the Shadow Generations game itself (played it when it released {October 25th} and finished it a day later, on October 26th) exceeded all my expectations. I played Shadow Generations and not Sonic Generations since I already played that game on my PS3 when I was 6-7. Anyways--Back on track---They showed us that, not only did Shadow view Maria as a friend, but also as a sister. The game itself was so emotional and sad. The quotes "Fight...With your wish in my heart. Your wish for everyone to have a chance to be happy." and "I know I'll see you again. And if fate draws us apart, I'll always be in your heart." is what REALLY tore me apart. I gave the game a rating of 9.5/10. (It would've been a 10/10 if they played "Without You" {the song that played in the final episode of the SXSG's Prologue} in the end credits). But this game was amazing. Shadow finally let go of his past and learned to live for himself. And that's hard things to do, if a loved one (especially your ONLY loved one) is shot right in front of your eyes. It's hard to let go of trauma in general. Shadow Generations is the BEST Sonic game we've ever had. I hope Sonic 3 (and future Sonic games and movies), live up to the expectation Shadow Generations set for SEGA, and Sonic's franchise as a whole.
I think its more than letting go of ones past. Its something even harder - accepting the good and letting go of the bad. Its my belief that in Shadow05 he threw the baby out with the water so to speak when he dropped EVERYTHING about his past. But now, we're assured that he will keep Maria and Gerald's love in his heart. It takes incredible maturity, to keep something good from such a painful event, to be grateful for it. Really good message honestly, especially in a game for kids. Like sure, his past was full of pain and misery, and he felt out of control... but it wasnt ALL for waste. The love was there. It saved him, it changed everything, and it WAS there.
Sonic X is peak I clearly remember myself being at the edge of my seat watching those episodes with my siblings and I've been thinking on rewatching it because my younger self memories could not do it justice
a trick i saw in a different video: Speedrunners already figured out that if you Dash,, jump, then fire Chaos Spear rapidly, you will keep going at Dash speed, allowing you to do some really wild level skips! oh, and have you ever watched "Sonic Prime"?
Well, nice to know I'm not the only one who was vexed by that particular rocket part. It's hard to see from most angles and the stuff around it tries very hard to propel you away from it before you can even look.
Shadow is one of the main inspirations for why I like the edgy type of characters and black and red color palettes I 100% completed the original Shadow game and I 100% completed Shadow Gens as well. I still put on the soundtrack on a daily basis because the game is just stuck in my head.
17:37 something I read about recently is a character seen in concept art that has no counterpart in a released game that even showed up on a screen in the third movie. According to someone on the Internet, Maria has an unseen sister. If this is true, that character could be her sister. And if it is her sister, then perhaps it could mean a sonic adventure sequel at least storywise.
Shadow Generations was a neat way to put the post Sonic Generations games in a Generations format, and some more older stages for padding and story reasons.
Sonic gets a big party with all his friends to celebrate a milestone in his franchise's history. Shadow gets to... experience the worst loss of his entire life. Again.
Thanks for the love. It's still crazy to hear about the amount of people waiting for a video. You guys are awesome!

Don't discount OG Generations so quickly. Those are some truly fun levels.
I agree with your opinion, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Fun Fact: If during the Metal Overlord fight you use chaos control after breaking the boat, you can get a cutscene and knock back all of the pieces
And if you hit mephilis with chaos spear you get to beat him up before launching him
Shows the polish that this game has!
the memphis tennessee boss fight truly is

Sonic X is peak I clearly remember myself being at the edge of my seat watching those episodes with my siblings and I've been thinking on rewatching it because my younger self memories could not do it justice
I can't believe you're the first person I've watched who made an Omori reference while playing this game, that's so pog
Dude I was waiting for this video so much!! This game is dank and seeing you play it is gonna be so much better!!
Pocho cooked for the thumbnail
What is cool here is they are embracing their mistakes here. No hiding away from the mistakes. Good to see
ITS ABOUT TIME YOU MADE THE VIDEO!
I'm bedridden and in a lot of pain right now so this video is a godsend. No cap, I needed this 😊
The game about the perfect being is…perfect
a trick i saw in a different video:
Speedrunners already figured out that if you Dash,, jump, then fire Chaos Spear rapidly, you will keep going at Dash speed, allowing you to do some really wild level skips!
oh, and have you ever watched "Sonic Prime"?
I loved this game to death and it so addicting to play because of the levels. And also nice thumbnail.
Well, nice to know I'm not the only one who was vexed by that particular rocket part. It's hard to see from most angles and the stuff around it tries very hard to propel you away from it before you can even look.
*He has become a Shadow channel* 🙌
They did NOT have to make Maria the cutest character in this whole franchise just to kill her 😭
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I kinda love how Gerald is just Eggman's 06 design with some slight alterations
No golden nipples, sadly.
I waited for this vid choc and ur late but now I’m great full for ur vid to finally be here
You guys have to understand that videos of this size take time to make and I don’t overwork my editors.
@ ik but that’s why I’m glad it’s here and I love it. Also I love ur vids can I get a shout out
@@Choctopusnah leave em locked in the dungeon till the video is done, Shadow deserves it…
A small, probably unnecessary detail, but they reused the Dark Gaia Phoenix sound effects from Sonic Unleashed for the Biolizard.
How perfect?
You’re either perfect, or you’re not me.
As some fallen villain once said:
Either its perfect or its not peak
"Look at my perfect form, its perfect"
Ultimately Perfect
I've been waiting for this playthrough! Definitely one of my favorite Sonic experiences overall. Great video!
Shadow is one of the main inspirations for why I like the edgy type of characters and black and red color palettes
I 100% completed the original Shadow game and I 100% completed Shadow Gens as well. I still put on the soundtrack on a daily basis because the game is just stuck in my head.
I loved this Game beginning to end.I hope to see more of shadow in future Games
1:24 jokes on you im already subscribed
17:37 something I read about recently is a character seen in concept art that has no counterpart in a released game that even showed up on a screen in the third movie. According to someone on the Internet, Maria has an unseen sister. If this is true, that character could be her sister. And if it is her sister, then perhaps it could mean a sonic adventure sequel at least storywise.
Anyone else happy about shadow smiling at big! New core memory unlocked
THE THUMBNAIL ART IS SO GOOD OMG HOWWWW
It's funny to me that shadow smiled when seeing Big.
0:21 “Yes, even that one…” was personal😭😭😭😭
Was waiting for this to be posted for a while glad it’s here now
I find it funny, how you were talking about getting a Gundam model kit and building it, but I'm currently watching this video while building one.
I love how expressive the characters are in this game
I’ve been waiting for this video for WEEKS. FINALLY!
The vindication I felt when he had to get that same STUPID BOLT.
Love the SpongeBob's car testing and the Dr. doof's joke refences 🤣
14:05 the true Sonic Heroes experience right there
Shadow Generations was a neat way to put the post Sonic Generations games in a Generations format, and some more older stages for padding and story reasons.
1:26:12
This is the *only* time we ever see Mephiles blink in the entire sonic series.
Have you heard, Choctopus? The Sonic Movie 3 DLC has been released as of right now, and today!
I love how he is slowly becoming that guy that 100% all the games he plays
Sonic gets a big party with all his friends to celebrate a milestone in his franchise's history. Shadow gets to... experience the worst loss of his entire life. Again.
When you said Shadow the Hedgehog was from 2005 I was shooketh. I cannot believe its been that long lol
