- You guys lied to me, this is just Sonic 2 except worse. It's not even a bad game but all the similarities to Sonic 2 are making me want to just play that instead.

Fun fact: Many of SNK's staff who worked on this title later went on to form Dimps, so this game is basically Sonic Advance 0. It's probably why the first two levels have similar names and why Eggman uses a hammer in the first boss.
Another fact is how the Egg-Go-Round from Techno Base in SA2 is based off the boss from Secret Plant Zone in a way.
That's interesting. I noticed the similarity with Neo South Island but didn't notice thr Secret Plant/Secret Base one!
The enemy placement logic also bled into the Advance games, lol.
@@Garrulous64 "but didn't notice the Secret Plant/Secret Base one!" Techno Base Boss in Sonic Advance 2.
yes! so it's the egg hammer tank 0! cool!
I think this is one of the first where I nearly entirely disagree with you. I think this is one of the best "8-bit" Sonic games out there. The physics and controls feels so natural and the graphics are top notch. It all looks so clear and in proportion. Many more colours, much better sounding music, I think the only place I agree with you is with the rehashing of some older levels. But some unique areas are here such as bosses which then got rehashed into Sonic Advance (and Advance 2). Still a good review, don't get me wrong. Made me chuckle quite a bit, especially with the "I think Knuckles died" remark, haha! There are some mods to this game too, including Sonic Pocket Winter and... *ahem*, RHS Pocket Adventure =P
Oh that's where I went wrong, I should have played RHS Pocket Adventure instead lol but yeah idk I just wasn't feeling this one. Felt fine to play, but it didn't do anything for me that Sonic 2 didn't already do. Triple Trouble on the other hand was a whole new adventure and it had me excited for what was coming next. I see what you mean, I don't think it's a bad game, but I don't see it as much more than a lesser Sonic 2.
@@secoTheSonicFan any variant of the Game Boy could've handled a port of the Game Gear Sonic games, with the obvious concessions in color. Their specifications and abilities are surprisingly similar once you get past the different screen types - both Z80 based, both have the same RAM and equivalent VRAM. The GBC in particular is around twice as fast as the Game Gear and with more RAM. A port could be an interesting project for somebody... Also NGP/NGPC most certainly isn't sub-NES or sub-Master System hardware - it's easily comparable to the GBC (a lot more powerful than the NES) and I believe it has a more sophisticated processor, that would make a complicated platform engine like 16-bit Sonic easier to implement. And that's where I agree this game deserves more credit - recreating Sonic's Genesis physics really wasn't easy at the time, even on a superior platform, and it's implemented quite admirably here. There's better learning resources available now when it comes to getting the physics right, which might unfairly trivialize the achievement in the present day. Sonic Genesis on GBA is a good example of how it can go wrong.
Nothing will ever give as much pain as sonic 2 8 bit
OMG REDHOTSONIC!
@@Garrulous64 the fact that this game is so good it actually got a 10/10 score in ign
7:24 I like how Eggman switched from his modern clothes to his classic clothing
Yeah. I've always wondered why. Maybe they made the boss fight before deciding to have modern Eggman appearance and then forgot to change it?
@@Sovic91 maybe. Or maybe Eggman just get bored of his modern costume?
@@sonicmaiden2871 But he had it for like, two seconds. And he reverts to it after the fight ends.
@@Sovic91 then Eggman changed his mind after wearing it for 2 seconds 😅
@@sonicmaiden2871 And I thought I was indecisive.
One thing I love about this game is how it’s basically a transition from the Genesis era to the Dreamcast era, as shown by Sonic’s sprite being the classic proportions but with green eyes, or more obviously, how Eggman appears in his Genesis design at the beginning of the game and then in his Dreamcast design at the end
And yes I did get those points from SomeCallMeJohnny, why are you asking?
He didn’t get the design changed, it’s just how his sprites were drawn
@@SIG7Pro so the design changed
No, it’s just how he was drawn, like the yellow things on Eggman’s coat was made larger and more higher than usual in some sprites
@@SIG7Pro
No, literally his design changed... at the beginning of the game he has the Robotnik cape collar, then at the end he has the Eggman buttons instead... they’re two distinct designs
@@SIG7Pro Nope alot of the Eggman sprites are fully based on the original Eggman design but later in development they wanted to redo the sprites in order to fit with what Adventure was doing, but most likely in the end they couldn't redo all the sprites in time, but in-game the transition from classic Eggman to dreamcast era Eggman is very much there now intentional or not. The proof of this transition happening while in development comes simply from Eggmans stache, with his dreamcast design sprites having a brown color while all the classic eggman ones having the same color pallete as his red clothes.
Honestly, the 8-bit version of Hydrocity is a total bop-
Any remix of Hydrocity is a total Bop.
Yes.
...Except for the fact that it's missing a whole entire section of the song for some reason.
@@murphmariotwopointoh7714 probably due to hardware limitations? The them to Hydrocity is a pretty complicated piece of music, and the NeoGeo probably couldn’t fit the whole song-
Mushroom hill for me
The title rhymes, that's kind of cool
IKR
Yeah very cool
hey Garrulous. I was just watching one of your videos from March, and saw something. You never did the Metal Sonic, yet anyway. I understand if it's not done, but i'm just curious if you forgot or other reviews (Or the Rona) got in the way.
Your future rapper career will indeed succeed now
@Garrulous64 How you did it, it makes me drool
(Got to keep the rhyme going, or you shall be pushed in a pool)
Lets be honest, most people know this game because of IGN’s infamous score
"The best Sonic Game"
IGN
No
for me it was diffrent
@@trimcut It’s decent but not 10/10
Not to mention every time I look up Sonic pixel art I see these sprites
I'm pretty sure the secret final boss really actually is a doomsday zone clone lmao
It IS a clone of Doomsday. Basically combine both phases.
@@rainbowarchivesseeaboutsec6006 Along with the, somewhat unfitting, Sky Sanctuary Zone remix
Yeah it is and sky sanctuary is playing
They changed Doomsday Zone music in Silver (or Robo) Sonic boss
Ah yes, the one where knuckles yeets sonic into the sky, who could forget
The true final boss is basically the final boss of 3 & Knuckles except the machine fights you directly instead of flying away.
Also the theme that plays during the fight is sky sanctuary for some insane reason instead of doomsday zone.
Oh yeah, fun fact about that game : a lot of the SNK's developpers who worked on it quit and formed Dimps to work on Sonic Advance, so Sonic Pocket Adventure can technically be considered as part of the Sonic Advance series, you can even already see some of the oh-so-wonderful Dimps' quirks like the abundance of bottomless pit and stupid traps, the bad Special Stages, the incredibly original stages design and Super Sonic being only playable for the final boss. You should've review this one before Sonic Advance 3 to keep the joke alive a little longer.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
_.*sigh*._ There's no going back now. Ah well. C'est la vie.
Name replacement:
Scrambled Egg Zone
Tube Hell Zone
I know you're memeing, but Scrambled Egg is a surprisingly good name.
More just a rewrite than renaming a zone, but I'd change Hydrocity to Hydro City. So people would stop arguing over the right way to say it. Plus that way it actually fits in with the rest of the Sonic 3&K stage names, which are all 'word word zone'.
Doomsday zone and Sandopolis would like to have a talk with you.
@@thecubeman381 Ok, it'd fit in with most of the Sonic 3&K stages.
Or it'd fit in with the good S&K stages. :P
in generations, if you change the music of a stage, hydrocity is called "Hydro City" so its hydro city
But....its not hydro city
GNAnimations Yes, it is.
Robotnik's design in the final battle: Bro I am out of here
The gameplay alone makes this game amazing since it actually feels like classic sonic. Half of the charm of the game as well is playing it with the actual stick of the NGPC which is near perfection which kinda throws off a lot of hindsight emulator based reviews. I know a lot might see this as “Sonic 2 again” but from An evolution of the hedgehog point the game is pretty important. I think I heard about some changes taking place mid development as the transition was switching from classic towards more a Adventure style.
I love your reviews but this one to me just seemed to look too much the future, and not simply what existed up to this point. You grew up in a world where Sonic 2 has been ported to my grandma’s “I’ve Fallen and I Can’t Get Up” bracelet so it’s understandable to see this as being nothing too impressive in a world where we can play RE 4 on a handheld, but being played on an actual NGPC with a non back lit screen? Nostalgia or not, it still has a certain something that at least makes me still play it every now again.
Sorry, I’m just a history teacher so it bothers me when people exclusively judge things based on the modern lens and are unable to make any real attempt to actually view them from the landscape of their own release. Still, keep up the great work!
I think a central part of playing or viewing something from years ago is seeing how well said thing holds up now. Having seen the titles that came out around this same time doing much more exciting things, I honestly can't see where the excitement comes from when a game like Triple Trouble easily trounces this when it comes to controls, visuals, and originality. I appreciate the feedback though, always interesting to hear different perspectives!
Young retro enthusiasts often miss the impact of games and when they dropped. This was the best portable Sonic until Advance even if the levels weren't original. It preserves the feel of Sonic, which is more important than anything other than level design.
I just don't agree with that. If a game controls well, that's awesome. But if it's the same stuff i've already seen, what's the point? I can just play Sonic 2 because it controls really well as well. The one downside is that you couldn't play Sonic 2 anywhere you wanted since you were tethered to the TV and that's the only time where I can see this being a "10/10" game. I get that it was a big deal back then, but again, a central part of my approach to content is seeing how well things hold up, and I don't think there's anything wrong with talking about how things have aged. People do it with Sonic Adventure and Mario 64 all the time and those complaints are totally valid. They're still among my favorites but i'm not gonna say they should be judged as if we were living in their release years and that's it. That'd make for some really stale and repetitive coverage.
Garrulous64 if you had a Sega Nomad, you could play Sonic 2 on-the-go.

I would rename planet wisp to wisp factory zone
Sounds good
Makes sense
Angel Island or Holy land
Angel island to HEAVEN island
Same
A little thing about Gigantic Angel (the Metropolis clone), for whatever reason they made it look like Scrap Brain Zone. Weird, but interesting

This game gave us the cutest Sonic sprites ever, so there's that
If anyone is curious about the emulator, it's called NeoPop, and runs neogeo pocket and pocket color games. The reason why frameskip was auto set to 7 is because it's an really old emulator that has been inactive since 2003. It runs fairly well, though some games may have a few glitches as the emulation was never perfected
I’d just name Marble zone Marble Hill Zone.
You weren’t really wrong on the Chaos Emeralds boss fight at the end.
My answer to the QOTD: Rename Quartz Qaudrant to Shimmering Shard
My answer for question of the day: any green hill to overused Nostalgia go to level for the company zone
Lmao
8:43 It does look very similar, but they made some slight changes. There's only one phase, and instead of chasing it through an asteroid field, you bounce it's missiles back at it.
4:26 No pun intended? I thought I'd never live to see the day
There are no accidental puns. 🙌
If your mind goes for an apropos term and it ‘accidentally happens to be a pun,’ it's because your subconsciously associates that word with the context on more than one level. It's just sometimes we consciously see the humor in the correlation as we're thinking of the word to use.
But I think Garrulous is lying; that pun was intentional. *.*.* shots fired *.*.* 💥🔫
Garrulous: Titles the video “the worst version of Sonic 2”
Me: you mean every version that isn’t the IOS version?
0:45 the game doesn't look like on the NeoGeo pocket color's tiny screen. You're playing it resized on an emulator
I don't think it is possible to resize the game.
Remember when i talked about the emulator in the first minute or so of this video? It's not a secret or anything. Besides, how do you expect people to record off the Pocket Color?
I'd rename Scrap Brain Act 3 into "Why The Heck Is This Act Even Scrap Brain, You Just Threw Us Into Labyrinth Zone Act 4 Zone."
QOTD Answer: I would change Marble Zone to Lava Chamber Zone
This is actually my favorite 2D Handheld Sonic game. It has great music, and the sprite-work is incredible. I also like the physics a lot.
Bro I made this comment over half a year ago and it has 2 likes how did you find this
@@Molten_Pig 3 now
QOTD: i rename zone 4 (pocket adventure) like "Aerobase Chase" or something look like it
To answer the question:
Green Hill Zone from Sonic Forces. I know it's a weird choice but hear me out.
Green Hill is a part of South Island in the manual of Sonic 1, so when the devs at Sonic Team decided to put Green Hill not only on land but NEAR A CITY kinda baffled me. Honestly, I would just call it Lost Valley since it looks like a Grassland/ Dessert hybrid (in Modern Sonic's Stage).
8:44 that but with sky sanctuary playing
Secret plant zone is just the Dollar store version of chemical plant zone
And just to clarify this would be found in the cereal aisle
QOTD I would rename Scrap Brain Zone to be Mecha Mayhem Zone.
Oh, we are using the Sonic CD naming convention, aren't we?
@@Sovic91 no, just chose that name because it sounds cool.
I think I would rename Marble Zone (Sonic 1) to Ruined Temple Zone or something similar, since we see pillars with faces on them, we enter lava-flooded areas inside caves with torches and murals, see a couple of ruins here and there are functional mechanisms there. The same could be said to Labyrinth Zone, but I think Labyrinth works well to describe the area.
There is some untapped background to the ruins in Marble Zone.
I actually like the way this game looks a lot more than Triple Trouble because I think the simplistic looks works better with 8-bit graphics.
Somebody hasn't heard of Sonic 2 for the Gamecom.
The secret Super Sonic boss is Doomsday Zone, but in 8-bit and more poor
It just occured to me that a couple of bosses from this game return in the Advance trilogy.
Hammer tank is a thing in 1 and 2.
Spinning Platforms is in 2.
Did you that SNK's president went on to form Dimps? So technically, this is Dimp's first Sonic game.
I think you meant to say: "Did you 'know' that...". But that aside, nice comment.
Whoops sorry.
@@banobobot It happens sometimes
1:12 Yeah, that cought me off guard my first time around. I didn't know what caused it, so I tried playing the game like that. It became unplayable in Secret Plant. Also never do a special stage like that
Oh, and for the question of the day: How about changing "Carnival Night" to "Egg Circus Zone"?
I like how this game has similar elements to Sonic Advance 1 as well as how you feel about Advance 1 too:
1.) Some of the names are almost the same
*Neo* South Island - *Neo* Green Hill
*Secret* Plant - *Secret* Base
Cosmic *Casino* - *Casino* Paradise (Technically counts)
2.) The game is good until later on
3.) (Just About an) Adventure style in a classic Sonic style gameplay
4.) You don't like the special stages in this just like Advance 1
5.) Eggman has a hammer in Neo South Island just like he did in Neo Green Hill
QOTD answer: Change Sand Hill [from SADX] to Dust Hills, because it could have been a nice reference to Sonic 2's scrapped zone. [Or Sand Showers either sounds cool]
to answer the question of the video, i would rename green hill to "please sega, make an original first zone instead of milking the same thing" zone.
QOTD:
1. Sunset hill to vibe hill
2. Metropolis to hell
Sonic 2 game gear: oh I don't think so
I would rename Hydrocity Zone to Flooded Ruin Zone (I hope there isn't already a Sonic level named that)
I used to have this, as I had gotten a Neo Geo Pocket Color for my 14th birthday. Sadly it was like one of two or three games I had for it as the unit was discontinued very shortly after I got it XP
Adventure (and I guess Advance) Sonic looks pretty cool, and the artwork used in the game really shows. I wonder if this Handheld Marathon will come to an end. Sonic has a lot of handheld games.
I would rename “Pumpkin Hill Zone” to “The Bone Zone”.
Some zones I would rename:
Emerald Shore Zone - Emerald Hill
Wacky Waves Zone - Hydrocity
Aquatic Acres Zone - Aquatic Ruin
Robotnik Maze Zone - Labyrinth
Gray Gravity Zone - Death Egg - Sonic and Knuckles
Great Palmtree Panic Zone - Palmtree Panic
Winter Falls Zone - Winter Zone
Bomber Base Zone - Gene Gadget
Time Takeup Zone - Panic Puppet
Flying Death Egg Zone - Flying Battery
Egg Fortress Zone - Death Egg Act 2 - Sonic and Knuckles
Final Utopia Zone - Death Egg Robot Boss - Sonic 2 + Sonic 3 and Knuckles
And also Final Zone should be renamed to "Final Face-Off Zone".
If I could change the name of a zone easy for green hill it should be called “You can only play this zone in every game” zone act 1
Question of the day: Marble zone rename it to melting maniac zone because why when sonic's main gimmick is speed they thought what if sonic should do slow puzzles and platforming that goes slow.
Gigantic Angel is Metropolis, set on the Death Egg, with the artistic design of Scrap Brain. What.
I like how they updated the game for Sonic Advance.
Hmmm, i always wanted that Sandopolis Zone got renamed to: "Sand Shuffle Zone"
I would change the name of Titanic Monarch Zone to Titanic Emperor, because it better reflects the empire Eggman's always trying to establish
I read the question of the day and honestly, I can't think of anything off the top of my head except the one zone that actually did get renamed, kinda. Eggmanland from Sonic Unleashed is technically called Crimson Carnival, the same way that every location in Unleashed has a country name and a level name (Apotos - Windmill Isle, Spagonia - Rooftop Run) except even when people use the level names, they still call Crimson Carnival "Eggmanland", which is a shame because Crimson Carnival is a badass name
Dr. Eggman in here looks like a middle point between Classic and Modern Eggman
9:27 You mean a Sonic "Pocket" Adventure? >:)
I'm sure Garralous would appreciate that pun if he sees it, that is.
Am I the only one that feels like the music is shifted over by one act? Like Neo South Island’s act 2 music was intended at one point to play in Act 1, and then Secret Plant Zone Act 1’s music to play in Neo South Island Act 2, etc. Maybe it is the case?
Fun fact if you _somehow_ succeed in activating debug mode (there's an emulator with a very... suggestive title that seems to automatically do that on startup) there's a whole playable Tails (à la Sonic 2, no flight) just sitting in the game memory!
Rename Contest: I'd change every zone name in 06 with the script from The Shining.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
QOTD: I would probably rename Sky Canyon in Sonic Advance 2 to Death Canyon because of it's bottomless pits
Garrulous64:"Sonic pocket adventure is the worst version of sonic 2"
Game Com version:"Am I a joke to you?"
for angel island, i will rename them: palmtree island
Do you plan on making a Tails Adventure review? I find the game surprisingly really fun and would love a video on it!
I would rename green hill to charizard hill, because like charizard, it’s been done to death
If I were to rename a stage, I would rename 2
1st rename: Death egg turns into space egg zone
2nd rename: special stage turns into Chaos hunt zone
Oh sweet Knux is basically in his Adventure design as well
If I were to rename a zone it would be Hydro City Zone.
AH, BUBSY! Good, excellent. Very glad. Wonderful video. ....oh and the part where you talked about Sonic was fine too.
0:10
I would name Green hill into Green bill and "that will be $30"
The Super Sonic final boss is basically Doomsday part 2 but it plays Sky Sanctuary
you actually don't need to knock the Chaos Emerald out of the final boss to win, that's just how you get the seventh chaos emerald.
when you mentioned "frame skip turned up to 7" i knew you were using neopop
I remember playing this quite a while back. The puzzle piece side thing was something I really responded to, and is the only reason I played it more than one time. Never did get them all though. Guess I'll have to go back to it.
Also ANTI-HALFPIPE GANG LET'S GOOOOOOO

Lol playing on the stick is my favorite part of the game.
@@joshmcgootermier2301 I've always found it very difficult to roll. It just doesn't seem to register pushing down and just moves Sonic forward. Maybe my NGPC is faulty, but I don't think so.
Aside from that, I have zero ways to capture from a Pocket Color
@@Garrulous64 It's for the best.
you gotta appreciate the nice 8 bit style every once in awhile
I know this is gonna sound shocking, but the Neo Geo Pocket is actually a 16-bit console. I was surprised to learn this myself. You can check this for more info: snk.fandom.com/wiki/Neo_Geo_Pocket
@@Sovic91 cool! Thx
I would call chemical plant zone pink water vote
Let's change Hydrocity Zone to "Water Zone" so everyone can pronounce it.
Its weird how you compare this to Sonic 2 when this is basically Sonic Mania before Sonic Mania as it celebrates Sonic's genesis day's, for example: Neo South Island looks like Green Hill and has the layout from Emerald Hill, but act 2 uses the 3d ramp from Palmtree Panic. And Gigantic Angel uses Metropolis gimmics but looks like Scrap Brain.
Its also weird how you didnt talk about the time trial mode since in this game it remind's me of the ones in the Crash Bandicoot series since you get ranked after getting to the goal with a bronce, silver, gold and platinum ranking, and like in Crash, the platinum ranking is hard to get, to give an example you need to beat NSI act 1 in 29 seconds to get the platinum ranking.
Also im glad you didnt talk about the ost because some off it sounds really good and 1 of the suffers from the Sonic Chronicles syndrome (that song being the game over theme from Sonic 3).
The gane also has a 2p mode which is like Sonic 2 and Mania where you play as Tails who looks like modern Tails instead of classic Tails.
I hate the Sonic 2 Special Stages but i think the ones here arent worse but there not better, if you want pain then play the Sonic 3d in 2d fan game its the S2 Special Stages except the 10 times worse.
Still i liked the review and the humor was amazing.
Animal Fun Fact: Today is the 20th anniversary of Sonic Shuffle, a Sonic-themed party game released for the Sega Dreamcast.
It is OVERHATED
@@sunswift As someone in the minority of people who liked Shuffle, I agree with you.
@@FlyingDuckMan360 they compared it to mario party. Even through the two games were made by the SAME studio. Kind of sad. What were the designers thinking
@@sunswift The game designers probably wanted Shuffle to look and feel like a Mario Party game, but still be unique enough to be called its own thing by having such aspects as using cards for movement and battle, moving freely across the board instead of one direction, playing mini-games by landing on specific spaces, winning the Precioustone Pieces through card battles instead of spending currency, and the game ending when all seven Precioustone Pieces are collected instead of having to wait a select number of turns for the game to end.
@@FlyingDuckMan360 true. But to someone that it played it the first time they were thinking wth is with this game.
Gotta love how the super sonic fight was exactly what he thought it would be just the sonic 3 and knuckles boss fight search it up because I certainly did
Sonic Pocket Adventure is basically Sonic 4, but it's playable and it didn't murder Dimps as the secondary Sonic developer.
This was probably intended to just be a direct port of Sonic 2 - just look at the copyright on the title screen. I'd say that the level designers and artists were close to finished when the call was made to retool it into a more original game, hence why the stage graphics are almost all that of Sonic 2.
Either way, it's a great title for the NGPC, and it really makes me wish that the Gameboy Color got a Sonic game.
If I could rename any Sonic zone, it would be that Angel Island from Sonic Advance, I would change it to, _Angel Islands_ or _Angel's Island_ to stop confusion between that one and the S3&K one
Why does no one do the question of the day?
Haha funny Green Hills joke
Wait, are they not the same? I always thought it is a callback to Sonic Adventure's Angel Island because of the river in the background that is the same as the forest area background in Mystic Ruins, as well as the background from the echidna tribe flashbacks.
@@Sovic91 they might be, but I've never seen anything confirming or denying it. So idk
QotD: I'd rename Night Carnival to Town or City Carnival, I think it's more fitting
QOTD: i would rename aquatic ruin to: marble zone act 4 and 5
Great Emerald Zone - Emerald Hill
Secret Ruin Zone - Marble
Casino Chaos Zone - Casino Night
Blue Cave Zone - Mystic Cave
Flying Fortress Zone - Flying Battery
Neo Death Egg Zone - Death Egg (S&K)
Funnily enough, the super sonic fight is just doomsday zone
yo bro where is your continuation of the perfect metal sonic game vid? I also had a rough idea for my own metal sonic game. So, have you ever wondered how mental sonic can just copy biodata, a computer scan of the entirety of a living being and learn all about it in just a few seconds, when none of eggman's other bosses can do that? Perhaps eggman didnt come up with that tech at all, but rather copied it from the ancient giziods who sported that ability. Then at some point eggman decides to put some of that tech directly into metal sonic after finding a damaged gizoid some ruins. This goes fine at first, untill metal gets zapped with chaos energy somehow. Remember, chaos is fueled by positive and negative emption. Over time spent around eggman and fighting sonic, the chaos energy now in him grows off of the emtions of others he interacts with, and the ancient tech in him, over time, allows him to both understand and start to experience emtions other than what eggman programed into him, such as joy empathy , and even sadness, and the endgame of this is of course metal turing against eggman and becoming somewhat of a good guy
This game is basically sonic mania before sonic Mania.
