@@SaiyanScholar also let's be real dragonball super ripped off hyper sonic and the super emeralds with they're super dragonballs and Ultra instinct goku
The excuses they keep making up is getting on my nerves. They go from saying the sonic 3 and knuckles is non canon, to saying the form itself isn't canon, to saying seizures, to saying TOO MANY EMERALDS, to currently say to too many forms. It's clear to me that they DO NOT want the hyper transformations back. Heck they're was even data of hyper in sonic mania but the team were probably told to not add the hyper transformations in the game and got scrapped. If they don't wanna make the super emeralds canon fine, but at least have it as like a secret or something to unlock after completing the main game/story. But if they were to have them in stories again, have the chaos emeralds go through a ritual on angel island in the hidden palace where the master emerald can give the chaos emeralds there own super form.
If they didn't wanna bring back specifically the hyper emeralds, they could just retcon it to Sonic going super with the Chaos emeralds and the power of the Master emerald, or something similar to that. It sucks that they just completely try to bury one of the coolest looking forms of Sonic to date.
Hyper Sonic is the TRUE final form of Sonic. The fact that such an awesome form is never seen anymore is a bigger crime to this series than even 06. XP
@QuickThePorcupine Sadly,sega at this point is making the lore that sonic can overcome the use of the emeralds,it is cool but contradictive considiring the emeralds give access to infinite pools of energy.
@Ryo zero It isn't the reason though. They said in an interview that the only reason hyper sonic didn't come back was because they felt adding more forms would make it too similar to dragon ball. Not to mention even if they didn't say it something would have come out about it by now.
"It's better to burn out than fade away" This is a quote by Neil Young, and demonstrates how I feel. I'd much rather see Hyper Sonic be exclusive to one of the best Sonic games than be milked to death like almost everything else you see in Sonic and Dragon Ball. This is fine, this is perfectly fine for me. Hyper Sonic will be remembered for his bests and not his potential worsts at the hands of modern Sega.
More like sonic on crack. This is sonic at his absolute limit. He's lost the chaos emeralds but found something more. But even with this power he has to focus and redirect eggmans rockets back at him using his power wisely unlike in the intro of sonic 3 when he used super sonic and got bodied by knux. Very underused in my opinion.
At least this time sonic didn't ripped off from DB, so people couldn't say that he looks like Mastred Ultra Instinct, and they forget that other series also ripped off from DB like naruto

@@vladc137 Archie is basically sonic literally becoming a god and hyper? Has infinite possibility (hehe) and power i mean c'mon chaos control exist why not emerald control?
I think the reason Hyper Sonic never returned is because he was never needed again, from a design standpoint. He existed to make sure the giant rings in the Sonic & Knuckles levels still had value even if you've already gotten Super Sonic. He's there to solve a design problem that was only there as a result of combining two games into one and letting you take your Emeralds from one to the other. Since that never really happened again, they didn't need to take away the Chaos Emeralds and make you do more special stages halfway through again, and so they didn't need Hyper Sonic again.

I loved Hyper Sonic because it felt like a true reward when you unlocked it and if you had never seen the form before it would really surprise you because up to that point the best you could do was Super Sonic. It also was better than Super Sonic so it wasn't like like a new skin only changing his appearance. It gave him new abilities and unlocked the true ending of the story. In my opinion, that is the perfect representation of why people loved Sonic 3 and Knuckles and why people are right in saying they never treated Sonic better. It really shows in the sales and popularity that came after. I think if they ever brought Hyper Sonic back they would be very surprised about the feedback they get.
Ironically the cynic in me believes that nazo unleashed may have been what killed hyper sonic in the eyes of SEGA. If only because it introduced some thing that the fans want more than hyper sonic… Hyper Shadic
Omg. I agree so much! I am kinda curious on the Hyper mode. I want to see Hyper mode on other characters as well, and I believe that it I WAY underused. Sonic 3 & Knuckles was the second game I beat EVER (Sonic Colors was first) and I LOVED it. I worked so hard to get all of the special stages and I loved it so much. They NEED to have it in more games.
Love the shout-out to game apologist, between your work and his, Sonic, and particularly Hypersonic, or getting the attention and love that they so deserve. Wish I could have come up with the idea to cover this first, but I'm glad you guys did it.
Blame iizuka. I swear. That guy just likes to waste Sonic's potential All the time. They could just limit hyper sonic on varying games. Or give him a restriction like knuckles doesn't like the master emerald's power being used for giving the emeralds more power unless need be. I wish yuji naka was still here, he would have definitely let hyper sonic reappear in future titles.
And Ultra Sonic from the Comics existed many years before Ultra Instinct. Even the Nazo form in the Sonic X pilot existed many years before Ultra Instinct.
I never got to experience the power of Hyper Sonic in Sonic The Hedgehog 3 or any of the classic games. But I did know he existed because my older cousin told me about the Legendary Hyper Sonic and even showed me pictures of him from the game to fan art. I wish Hyper Sonic does appear in a new Sonic The Hedgehog game. And after watching this video, you gave me the knowledge about Hyper Sonic and I will share the video with others to continue Hyper Sonic’s legacy.
I didn't know about Hyper Sonic until I finally got all 14 emeralds as a youngster and it completely blew my mind. Then later finding out Tails and Knuckles had super versions made my head explode.
I really wish hyper sonic got more fame because there's also hyper knuckles and he didn't get much attention and love I will never forget hyper Sonic he will always be in our hearts and true legendary sonic fans
Not even Super Knuckles. I hoped to see him in Sonic Heroes the first time I played the final story and Sega gave them a golden shield. Seriously? That was very disappointing
The whole concept of Super Emeralds and Hyper Sonic (and Super Tails) was freaking mind blowing to me when I first found out. Removing it is a double edged sword; it sucks that they loophole every reason NOT to put it in anymore but you can't ruin something if it isn't given the chance to be ruined; it's strange
I feel like they could easily add both the Super Emeralds and Hyper Forms back into a main series game. To prevent the whole seizure thing, they could just either make the form white with rainbow highlights/aura, or make it so the colors fade instead of flash.
Honestly in my mind the reason the hyper form flashes so rapidly is because at that point Sonic was to inexperienced with the chaos emeralds sure he was basically a prodigy with them but not to the extent to use hyper, and this reason could even be used to explain the flashing super forms the others have, and changing the design could be explained with the idea he can now more easily control it and it would in my opinion feel cooler as we see Sonic wielding a form better than last time we saw it, sorry for how fanficy this sounds.
Hyper sonic does sport a base white color but when he was in his classic form he was flashing colors because he didnt know how to control his power and he was just releasing all of his power
Hyper Sonic was incredibly awesome. To me,that form was like Sonic reached God tier. You could say he may be UI Sonic. Then again,he was never used again because not many game developers remember him. And I don't consider Sonic's universe to be like Dragonball since nobody can fly and shoot energy and stuff. Besides that, I'm glad you made a video about him kind sir. I'd love to see him make a comeback.
@@SaiyanScholar you know the reason why we don't see hyper Sonic anymore is because the creators don't want to get a copyright claim from DBZ because they think hyper Sonic is too close to ultra instinct but the hyper form came out way before ultra instinct did 🤔

In Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3 & Knuckles/Sonic 3 Complete, Super Sonic and Hyper Sonic's eyes are dark green. They are not supposed to be dark green. They are supposed to be black. In the 16-bit version of Sonic 2, after you get all 7 Chaos Emeralds, collect 50 or more rings and transform Sonic into Super Sonic, Sonic's eyes don't change color. They stay black. Sonic's eyes are not supposed to change color. Plus, in Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3 & Knuckles/Sonic 3 Complete, Super and Hyper Sonic's ending sprites have black eyes, not dark green eyes.
@@mikerude5073 Exactly. If that legitimately was the reason why Hyper Forms were canned then they should just do what S3AIR does and just slow down the color changing...
@@omni9387 Their official bullshit reason is that they never wanted to have Hyper Sonic at all. Instead, they wanted Super Sonic Heroes. But they couldn't get it to display all 3 Super characters at once properly, plus I'm pretty sure it would glitch the Knuckles fight, so Hyper Sonic was created as an alternative. Personally, I call complete BS. Iizuka is just a pussy. Christian Whitehead included a reference to the Super Emeralds in Lava Reef Zone where Knuckles fights Heavy King for the Master Emerald. There are Stone Relics that are left behind, after the Super Emeralds cracked open, and the current day version of the Chaos Emeralds came out. The Super Emeralds could still be awakened, but you need to be in close proximity to the Master Emerald to pull it off, and they don't really have time to go to Angel Island every time there's a new threat. However, Sonic Mania was indeed a missed opportunity. Christian Whitehead, who developed part of the game, said that he established that the Super Emeralds used to exist, but not anymore. Apparently, it's supposed to be a one-time form, but I don't think so. The Chaos Emeralds could easily just enlarge, like in Nazo Unleashed, to create Super Emeralds. However, all the powers that Hyper Sonic used to wield, like the Homing Attack that evolved from Hyper Flash, and the Boost ability, are now usable in Base or Super form, except breathing underwater. That's still restricted. Hyper Sonic is probably one of the most OP characters in fiction, simply because of his Reality Warping capabilities augmented by Hyper form. Chaos Control is already OP, but Hyper Chaos Control is HELLA OP!
"the door was just opened and had so much to explore" no kidding, the hyper sonic, what are the super emeralds and how they manage to effect the master emerald, the mural on the background on hidden place when you face knuckles. its a fucking lore treasure to explore and sega never did it.
I think they should definitely reintroduce Hyper Sonic, because the movie has definitely brought in more fans, and they probably won't play all the original games, they'll stick with the more modern stuff, meaning that many might never even HEAR of Hyper. It's so sad that Sega's just single handedly ruining their own franchise.
I had always imagined that the hyper sonic transformation causes Sonic's hair to get a coating of some unknown metal only created by the super emeralds due to their immense heat and power combined with a massive absorption of particles from the air. And that these particles are used to form said metal that is extremely magnetic but has a magnetic field presumably controlled by sonic. As for the stars that fly around him, I imagined they too have a magnetic field, but that they are used to stabilize the main one on sonic so that it doesn't get out of control and end up destroying everything around him. And that when sonic does his second jump, those stars align in the shape of a ring while switching their polarity to north or south (whichever one is opposite of Sonic's) to pull him through, so that when sonic is going through them the stars switch to whatever polarity sonic is using, so that their conflicting polarities cause sonic to be propelled through it at an incredible velocity. So basically, I imagined hyper sonic is a walking rail gun.
Hyper Sonic was without a doubt, the best transformation of Sonic, rivaling Super and Werehog Sonic. Hyper Sonic was a taste of going past the limit (Super Sonic). It felt worth it going through the process of collecting 7 Chaos Emeralds and 7 Super Emeralds to being godlike and unstoppable. All of this, and SEGA throws out one of the best things from Sonic 3 and from the franchise as a whole.
Hyper Sonic is the GOAT. I never played Sonic 3 & nuckles, but he was a huge part of my childhood and I still like him because of this AWESOME animation (that I used to think it was canon when I was a kid) NAZO UNLEASHED, FEATURING HYPER SONIC AND HYPER SHADIC LIKE HOLY SHIT
I never understood SEGA's reason. If they really care that much about Sonic being similar to DB then why is Super Sonic a thing? They're denying the fans of the series the ultimate reward for the stupidest reason ever lol
Sonic had ALREADY gone down the DB ripoff rabbit hole with the Chaos Emeralds and Super Sonic. And the Eggmobile is a copy of Freeza's hoverpod. And it's not just DB; the Death Egg is a clear Death Star parody. And Sonic and friends jump into baddies and collect 100 shiny circles for another chance at life just like the heroes of their rival franchise. Why should Sega be so worried about being seen as unoriginal only some-odd years later?!
the only way too make hyper sonic better is if they remove super sonic weakness like drowing or falling in a abyss or being crushed imagine hyper can´t drown when it´s fall in a abyss just fly off it when it´s is crushed he become intangible until get out of the place
I wanna see it in a New 3D sonic world, but you play only the little fat old sonic, but in 3D. And the quest is the same of Adventure 2. Stop eggman from blastin' earth. Like, Sonic's quest is to reunite the 7 Super chaos emeralds and enough rings, and the finally, Sonic tank the blast, and destroy eggman's moon solo
I had forgotten how spot-on this video was. Hyper Sonic is a must on a story i'm writing, the story is about my own Fan Character but Sonic and friends gets involved with it.
Ik this is over a year old and I'm personally not a huge sonic fan I'm mostly here for nostalgia, but as someone who's played the original Sonic 3 and knuckles when years after it came out (I'm 14 now but I was 7 when I first played sonic 3 and knuckles) and it one of the first game I have ever played and whenever I hear some people talk about the new sonic games I always think back to hyper sonic and where he went?

Or give him a restriction like knuckles doesn't like the master emerald's power being used for giving the emeralds more power unless need be. I wish yuji naka was still here, he would have definitely let hyper sonic reappear in future titles.
@@Eminster Why did Yuji Naka left?
And Ultra Sonic from the Comics existed many years before Ultra Instinct. Even the Nazo form in the Sonic X pilot existed many years before Ultra Instinct.
@@Starwarsfan1253 i forgot but it had something to do with sonic '06...
Bro you hit every nail on the head!! Chose the perfect word and analogy's for this video!! Thanks man I needed this!!
Hey man keep up the great content and thank you for bringing this up.
_The minute I saw ya put that quote there with that sender, I chuckled at the truth of it._
this is exactly what I needed after the shut down of the Sega heroes servers so thank you for making my day
I never got to experience the power of Hyper Sonic in Sonic The Hedgehog 3 or any of the classic games. But I did know he existed because my older cousin told me about the Legendary Hyper Sonic and even showed me pictures of him from the game to fan art. I wish Hyper Sonic does appear in a new Sonic The Hedgehog game. And after watching this video, you gave me the knowledge about Hyper Sonic and I will share the video with others to continue Hyper Sonic’s legacy.
I think he appeared in a comic back in the day, but I don't know anything about that.
I didn't know about Hyper Sonic until I finally got all 14 emeralds as a youngster and it completely blew my mind. Then later finding out Tails and Knuckles had super versions made my head explode.
I really wish hyper sonic got more fame because there's also hyper knuckles and he didn't get much attention and love I will never forget hyper Sonic he will always be in our hearts and true legendary sonic fans
Not even Super Knuckles. I hoped to see him in Sonic Heroes the first time I played the final story and Sega gave them a golden shield. Seriously? That was very disappointing
@@mep6302 I feel like Mario does a better job of power ups
@@mep6302 we didn't even get to see super tails very lazy
Hyper Knuckles is the SUPER transformation of Knuckles.
Just like Turbo Tails is the SUPER transformation of Tails in Archie Comics.
The whole concept of Super Emeralds and Hyper Sonic (and Super Tails) was freaking mind blowing to me when I first found out.
Removing it is a double edged sword; it sucks that they loophole every reason NOT to put it in anymore but you can't ruin something if it isn't given the chance to be ruined; it's strange
I feel like they could easily add both the Super Emeralds and Hyper Forms back into a main series game. To prevent the whole seizure thing, they could just either make the form white with rainbow highlights/aura, or make it so the colors fade instead of flash.
They could instead make hyper Sonic have a pastel rgb color scheme thing, I'd dig that.
Honestly in my mind the reason the hyper form flashes so rapidly is because at that point Sonic was to inexperienced with the chaos emeralds sure he was basically a prodigy with them but not to the extent to use hyper, and this reason could even be used to explain the flashing super forms the others have, and changing the design could be explained with the idea he can now more easily control it and it would in my opinion feel cooler as we see Sonic wielding a form better than last time we saw it, sorry for how fanficy this sounds.
Hyper sonic does sport a base white color but when he was in his classic form he was flashing colors because he didnt know how to control his power and he was just releasing all of his power
Hyper Sonic was incredibly awesome. To me,that form was like Sonic reached God tier. You could say he may be UI Sonic. Then again,he was never used again because not many game developers remember him. And I don't consider Sonic's universe to be like Dragonball since nobody can fly and shoot energy and stuff. Besides that, I'm glad you made a video about him kind sir. I'd love to see him make a comeback.
Andre Pendleton
Well, I mean, Super Sonic has god tier powers. Besides, Shadow can shoot blasts and Silver can fly and shoot psychic beams.
Seen Sonic x?
@@coolheroe1331 Yeah.
We don't even see him anymore also can you do a what the hell happened with shadow
Yes that will come.
@@SaiyanScholar you know the reason why we don't see hyper Sonic anymore is because the creators don't want to get a copyright claim from DBZ because they think hyper Sonic is too close to ultra instinct but the hyper form came out way before ultra instinct did 🤔
@@maximoomega3691 how the hell would that work hyper sonic is nothing like ultra instinct and i don't believe that bcus sega never got any comment from akira toriyama regarding anything about super sonic sonicjam.wikidot.com/aii2005:dec30
Also the werehog I liked Sonic Unleashed Weregog transformation
@@novateel6037 IKR it makes no sense ultra instinct would be invincible to hyper Sonic I can't believe there afraid of getting a copyright claim from DBZ
I love the sonic content!!! It’s great
Thank you so much!
In Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3 & Knuckles/Sonic 3 Complete, Super Sonic and Hyper Sonic's eyes are dark green. They are not supposed to be dark green. They are supposed to be black. In the 16-bit version of Sonic 2, after you get all 7 Chaos Emeralds, collect 50 or more rings and transform Sonic into Super Sonic, Sonic's eyes don't change color. They stay black. Sonic's eyes are not supposed to change color. Plus, in Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3 & Knuckles/Sonic 3 Complete, Super and Hyper Sonic's ending sprites have black eyes, not dark green eyes.
What about the seizures? I thought that was the reason for it to be taken out. But I love Hyper sonic as well
The other excuse was too many emeralds.
They could have just slowed down the color changes, had it fade from each color to white, then fade to the next color so it wouldn't cause seizures
@@mikerude5073 that's a lot of a better idea
@@mikerude5073 Exactly. If that legitimately was the reason why Hyper Forms were canned then they should just do what S3AIR does and just slow down the color changing...
@@omni9387 Their official bullshit reason is that they never wanted to have Hyper Sonic at all. Instead, they wanted Super Sonic Heroes. But they couldn't get it to display all 3 Super characters at once properly, plus I'm pretty sure it would glitch the Knuckles fight, so Hyper Sonic was created as an alternative.
Personally, I call complete BS. Iizuka is just a pussy. Christian Whitehead included a reference to the Super Emeralds in Lava Reef Zone where Knuckles fights Heavy King for the Master Emerald. There are Stone Relics that are left behind, after the Super Emeralds cracked open, and the current day version of the Chaos Emeralds came out. The Super Emeralds could still be awakened, but you need to be in close proximity to the Master Emerald to pull it off, and they don't really have time to go to Angel Island every time there's a new threat. However, Sonic Mania was indeed a missed opportunity. Christian Whitehead, who developed part of the game, said that he established that the Super Emeralds used to exist, but not anymore. Apparently, it's supposed to be a one-time form, but I don't think so. The Chaos Emeralds could easily just enlarge, like in Nazo Unleashed, to create Super Emeralds. However, all the powers that Hyper Sonic used to wield, like the Homing Attack that evolved from Hyper Flash, and the Boost ability, are now usable in Base or Super form, except breathing underwater. That's still restricted. Hyper Sonic is probably one of the most OP characters in fiction, simply because of his Reality Warping capabilities augmented by Hyper form. Chaos Control is already OP, but Hyper Chaos Control is HELLA OP!
Omg I remember hyper Sonic ! That was my favorite part of Sonic 3 & Knuckles ! 💚❤️💛💙💙💜😊
Hyper Sonic is a Goddamn Retro Legend.
This makes me want to see a Death Battle video of Hyper Sonic vs UI Goku.
"the door was just opened and had so much to explore"
no kidding, the hyper sonic, what are the super emeralds and how they manage to effect the master emerald, the mural on the background on hidden place when you face knuckles.
its a fucking lore treasure to explore and sega never did it.
Over 9000 blue smarties...
This is my first time on your channel and i already love it. SUBSCRIBED
"Who has never heard of Hyper Sonic?" Eh heh... That... would be me. I need to get out more... and play and see more Sonic stuff.
Sonic Mania would have been the perfect game if they included Hyper Sonic.
Hyper Sonic was my favorite ultimate form. I do hope it makes a return, even if they patch Sonic Mania to include it. He deserves to return.
Hyper Sonic was actually cut in Sonic Mania
If you look into the files you can see the word "Hyper"
I think they should definitely reintroduce Hyper Sonic, because the movie has definitely brought in more fans, and they probably won't play all the original games, they'll stick with the more modern stuff, meaning that many might never even HEAR of Hyper. It's so sad that Sega's just single handedly ruining their own franchise.
Well, you called it, Sonic Origins will take care of that.
Hyper Sonic it's so popular just because all the sprite animations doing over the years
I had always imagined that the hyper sonic transformation causes Sonic's hair to get a coating of some unknown metal only created by the super emeralds due to their immense heat and power combined with a massive absorption of particles from the air. And that these particles are used to form said metal that is extremely magnetic but has a magnetic field presumably controlled by sonic. As for the stars that fly around him, I imagined they too have a magnetic field, but that they are used to stabilize the main one on sonic so that it doesn't get out of control and end up destroying everything around him. And that when sonic does his second jump, those stars align in the shape of a ring while switching their polarity to north or south (whichever one is opposite of Sonic's) to pull him through, so that when sonic is going through them the stars switch to whatever polarity sonic is using, so that their conflicting polarities cause sonic to be propelled through it at an incredible velocity. So basically, I imagined hyper sonic is a walking rail gun.
Hyper Sonic needs to be in the modern games.
“That’s a lot of blue smarties”
I agree with everything you mentioned in this video. I really hope they bring Hyper Sonic back. It’s one of the reasons why I stopped playing Sonic.
the most likely candidate for hyper besides sonic and knuckles is shadow due to his natural affinity for chaos energy
Hyper Sonic was without a doubt, the best transformation of Sonic, rivaling Super and Werehog Sonic. Hyper Sonic was a taste of going past the limit (Super Sonic). It felt worth it going through the process of collecting 7 Chaos Emeralds and 7 Super Emeralds to being godlike and unstoppable. All of this, and SEGA throws out one of the best things from Sonic 3 and from the franchise as a whole.
Sega pleaseee bring it back🙏🏾🙏🏾
Sonic 3 (& Knuckles) did the impossible.
Making Super Sonic cooler, AKA Hyper Sonic.
Good video.
I like Sonic content in this channel.
And ultra sonic make hyper wet the bed
0:53 LMAO Did You Draw This? I Meant To Ask
Hyper Sonic is the GOAT. I never played Sonic 3 & nuckles, but he was a huge part of my childhood and I still like him because of this AWESOME animation (that I used to think it was canon when I was a kid) NAZO UNLEASHED, FEATURING HYPER SONIC AND HYPER SHADIC LIKE HOLY SHIT
I never understood SEGA's reason. If they really care that much about Sonic being similar to DB then why is Super Sonic a thing? They're denying the fans of the series the ultimate reward for the stupidest reason ever lol
To be fair,super sonic hasn't really been important since unleashed
@@windandfireproductions5358 sorry sir but generations get your facts straight
@@SAGEtheGOD01 that game barely has a story
Super sonic really isn’t that special IMO. A ton of sonic games hve super sonic as an ending.
We got Sonic Mania and that game has a Super Sonic boss fight.
He went the way of Shadow being a respectable character.
...Alive in our hearts.
Sonic had ALREADY gone down the DB ripoff rabbit hole with the Chaos Emeralds and Super Sonic. And the Eggmobile is a copy of Freeza's hoverpod. And it's not just DB; the Death Egg is a clear Death Star parody. And Sonic and friends jump into baddies and collect 100 shiny circles for another chance at life just like the heroes of their rival franchise. Why should Sega be so worried about being seen as unoriginal only some-odd years later?!
Hyper hurts my eyes. And it now hurts, thanks to you zooming in on Hyper Sonic. You should have put an epilepsy warning.
Q: What do you get if you take an already overpowered Super Sonic and inject him with over 9000 blue smarties?
A: *Sonia* The Hedgehog UWU
the only way too make hyper sonic better is if they remove super sonic weakness
like drowing or falling in a abyss or being crushed
imagine
hyper can´t drown
when it´s fall in a abyss just fly off it
when it´s is crushed he become intangible until get out of the place
I wanna see it in a New 3D sonic world, but you play only the little fat old sonic, but in 3D.
And the quest is the same of Adventure 2. Stop eggman from blastin' earth.
Like, Sonic's quest is to reunite the 7 Super chaos emeralds and enough rings, and the finally, Sonic tank the blast, and destroy eggman's moon solo
So sonic adventure 2 but just classic sonic only and super emeralds?
Why?
I had forgotten how spot-on this video was.
Hyper Sonic is a must on a story i'm writing, the story is about my own Fan Character but Sonic and friends gets involved with it.
Saiyan Scholar next try and do an explanation of Ultra Sonic from the archie comics
Right many here never heard of ultra sonic
johhnyx14 ultra sonic came out before Ultra instinct Goku
It makes me tear up on how many characters with such potential are left in the dust.
Hyper sonic has been retired
Unfortunately.
Sadly even the creators abandoned him, but at least the fans (like me) gave him a new home
I lost my beep when I found out that it was gonna be in mania but they cut him
I would love to have hyper sonic return. As long as they don't use it as a resting of super sonic and not give him the God like powers he had in 3&k
Ik this is over a year old and I'm personally not a huge sonic fan I'm mostly here for nostalgia, but as someone who's played the original Sonic 3 and knuckles when years after it came out (I'm 14 now but I was 7 when I first played sonic 3 and knuckles) and it one of the first game I have ever played and whenever I hear some people talk about the new sonic games I always think back to hyper sonic and where he went?
Why did sega do this?!
I would love to see more of Hyper Sonic
Second!
Yo!
@@SaiyanScholar Hello!
That was a great video,would be awesome if you'd do a super tails and hyper knuckles video too or heck a 'why isn't there a super amy'.
Anyway the video was great and you've won a new sub X3
There is a even stronger sonic form?
HYPA!
@@SaiyanScholar SONIKKU!
Ultra Sonic, but that’s from the comics.
@@christopherb.5797 it needs to be in games, that would be a great dynamic. A 3d open world sonic game, with sonic changing forms solar sonic, eco sonic, and polar sonic respectively.
ultra
but that´s is delatable
Hyper Sonic caused people to have seizures
First
Yo!
@@SaiyanScholar how's it hanging
this is the truest video on you tube x thankyou for doign this "Hyper Sonics end closed the chapter on the hard core retro gamers of the past, like a statue of Hercules an iconic symbol of excellence in 2d 16bit times" Legendry stated @SaiyanScholar
Thank you for this video. I love Hyper Sonic and so wish that it would have been used again! I remember when I was a kid, and my friends and cousins and I used to love playing around with Hyper Sonic (especially in debug mode).
SEGA, though I know this plea will fall on deaf ears, I must ask you...
On behalf of the Sonic community...
GIVE US BACK HYPER SONIC!
I miss the thrill I felt as a child upon discovering Hyper Sonic for the first time! The fact he was denied in Mania is infuriating!
(for those who don't know, apparently there were lines of coding in Mania indicating that Hyper Sonic was originally going to appear in the game)
To the maker of the video: THANK YOU for this gesture of respect to one of the greatest Sonic games if not THE greatest to bless the Genesis, and also to a long-forgotten form of our awesome blue hedgehog.
Hypersonic feels like the SSJ4 of Dragon Ball
Why ?
@@chrono2208 they're both underrated that's why
Hyper Sonic was never part of the story; it was just a non-canon bonus.
Hyper Sonic is redundant; his abilities can just be given to Super Sonic.
2:54 "And what really puts super sonic as well as super sonic to the test"
Now I imagining if Hyper ever comes back for a new game, I can see a trailer where the super emeralds are teased at the end
Love the Sonic content man... True respect for my main guy Sonic
I never played the games, but when I watch the videos and my gosh, the hyper forms are very cool in the 16 bit era.
Just went though sonic 3 complete again on my retroid pocket 2 + and unlocked Hyper sonic. Forgot how stressful the blue sphere games were. Well worth it!
thank you for this video, my 1st time unlocking and unleashing this amazing transformation. it was truly the coolest feeling as a young gamer, I also wish they would bring this back. I've kept wondering and hoping in sonic mania but sadly no. I will keep hoping for one day.
They actually were going bring back hyper sonic but it got cut because Sega probably they didn’t let happen
I came to this channel from game apologist and I love dbz even more so than even sonic so I was lucky to find this channel.
Hello, I noticed I wasn’t credited in the video. I’m the artist who did 5:09
