I always love the "super easy to click links" as if there was ever a time that someone said, "Man! Clicking that link really was difficult and took a lot out of me..."
Did you notice that the worlds seem to progress in a path on the Lost Hex map? The center plains part is Windy Hill, above it Desert Ruins, after that is Silent Forest above Desert Ruins, to the left of Silent Forest is Frozen Factory. Since they seem to be revealing them in order, the little island chain below Frozen Factory is next to be shown. Next comes the barren "second desert" that Zavok's in. Finally, the Volcano place is most likely for Eggman, after you defeat the Deadly Six.
The collecting coins to open passageways (as mentioned in the casino level) originated in Sonic R. Only you collect regular coins in Sonic R as opposed to the special coins in Sonic Lost World.
I just noticed! In one scene, Sonic is seen running in place before speeding off. He's never done this before, apart from the games with the Super Peelout and its variations, and seems to resemble how he tends to run in place before blasting off in the American cartoons.
Something you didn't mention: the drill power can dive out of the ground now. It makes me wonder if any of the other returning wisps will offer new powers in some way. Like, for example, using "laser" to power machinery might be cool.
The yellow drill has something new: it can jump out of the sand.The rhythm seems to do a resemblence to how musical notes are put in music and it seems to be an eight note.
1:24 might not be the only time that the deadly six is seen as a group. on 0:32 the red one is on hill zone and 0:34 the pink one is also on hill zone as well. what I'm pointing out is the fact that the color boss are depending on the area u r fighting them in and all the other cut seen shows them independently but not fighting them in that area. instead they appear to be talking to one another like a team.
When Sonic 06 released, people complained that there were too many characters and it was just a big jumbled mess trying to cram in so many gameplay elements, so they decided to just focus on Sonic until they perfected him.
I love your videos! They're always so informing, and make me notice thing I wouldn't have before. Also, cant wait for a Super Smash Bro's one from you sir! Keep up the awesome work :D
I love how you speculate about whethe ror not they'll have three acts, completely ignoring the fourth act shown in the exact same trailer, as well as the screenshots showing at least another three acts of Windy Hill.
Important thing. I don't think the deadly 6 betray eggman immediately. If you look in the background of the pink guy (zazz), you can see the eggmobile to the left.
Sega also released info that eggman was once working with the deadly 6 but they turned on him so now he is working with sonic to beat them. so perhaps the previously mentioned coop will use one of eggmans robots and even perhaps eggman himself with a shooting mechanic.
i noticed that sonic does the super pill out whatever in the start of the stage,is this just a touch?is it just something to tease us?or does sonic actually GAIN this ability later on the game?
The drill wisp act's differently from it's Sonic Colors version, In Sonic Colors, the wisp would deactivate when it leaves the ground. In this game, it shows that you can continue to use the wisp as it jumps out of the ground, then back in. I thought it looked like a dolphin.
Hey GameXplain, in the scene with 5 of the deadly six (Where zavok tells sonic to die) zina and zik are very dark. Do they turn dark when defeated? Or is it just bad shading?
You may be right, but look at it this way... We all knew that the Olympic game was coming out because of the deal already made. If that wasn't apart of the deal previously made, that means it was a surprise, since it was announced in June. One could say the Lost World for Wii U and 3DS is two different games. Sega originally three games for 2013, but the three one got pushed to 2014. If Lost World is counted as one game, the second would either be a spin-off or pushed back into 2014.
He basically said what you are saying. The Zelda Wii U shown at E3 11 was just a tech demo. However, the Link in the new Smash looks extremely similar, if not the same, to that model in the tech demo. I'm guessing a few weeks after the release of Smash, we'll get an announcement. Nintendo use tease us for 6 months or more like their doing with Smash and Pokemon. We are getting two Zelda games this year. Link between Worlds and Wind Waker HD remake.
actually the drillwisp seems to work slightly different. in colors the drill powerup would be cancled instantly if sonic hit the surface of the area he dug into ... but in this clip u can see him jump out of it and than digging back into it again in a dolphin-like fashion
Actually, the Drill color power has a new ability! In the trailer you can see it dive out of the ground and then go back in. In Colors, if the Drill got out of the ground, the power up went away.
The mechanic of gaining tokens to open an area in a Casino isn't a new gameplay concept at all. Sega first used it in sonic adventure for the dreamcast
Anyone notice that as sonic grabs the music wisp that the floor beneath him is cracked?maybe sonic will be able to break through platforms to reach new areas
At the end of Sonic Colours, The wisps went back to their world, but why are they here? Maybe the Lost Hex is the Wisp's Home? In GameXplain's previous analysis, they said that each Deadly Six supports the colour of the wisps (from Sonic Colours) and they also support the colours for the chaos emeralds. Maybe the Deadly Six a mutant Wisps or mutant chaos emeralds filled with life energy? I dunno.... I'm just guessing...
True words. Tails and Knuckles should be mains. One of the best parts of Sonic 3 & Knuckles was when Knuckles finally joined up with Sonic at the beginning of Sky Sanctuary Zone. Felt Epic at the time.
I have a theory: Since this is a sequel to Sonic Colors and the Eggmobile was right next to Zizz, maybe Eggman was using the Mind Control Beam. This would explain how Zizz survives, as instead of killing him, you merely hinder the connection between him and the Mind Control Beam. Then he would just be following the orders of Zavok in the Desert Ruins, Zavok still being under the control of the Mind Control Beam.
zaz( the red member of the deadly six) may be the boss of the other dessert world and that is why all of the deadly 6 are there. that would explain why there all there. it would be like new super Mario bros 2 where koopaling are all fighting u at the end. this would be so creative and would actually make a lot of sence
There is also a point on the website for lost world (nintendos homepage for it atleast) that says: "Sonic and Dr. Eggman must unite to defeat the Deadly Six!"
Did you see the airplain in the picture that shows all the worlds? It has something that looks like one of bowser's kids for the new super mario bros series.
You should put some gameplay of the Casino Level that appear in a recent interview of Comic Con at GameSpot... we saw a lot of things, like the white coins are for to you send for the Pinball Machine. but great video anyway. =) I'm loving this game so far.
Okay, game explain, you missed the announce of slicers being inside the game, in the trailer, when they show off rhythm, at the final clip of them using the power up, just before they change the clip, you see a slicer just waiting for sonic to come towards him.
does nobody knows why now the drill can get out of the dirt without changing out? i think will be have a continue time like the cube wisp, because it look like it not going to change back to sonic. 5:07 (i'm curios...). and if the beat wisp is pink, what happen with sprikes?
maybe the final boss will be egg man flying above you shooting lazer beams while the red guy (sorry forgot his name) is chasing you from behind or using what ever attacks he gets
Is it just me or is the face in desert ruins act 2 is in another desert ruins act in the background. Maybe every region revolves around a face as zazz is carrying a face too
From what I've heard Tails, Knuckles, and Amy are going to be in the cutscenes of the game, but they won't be playable. Sadly people say they didn't put enough time into Sonic in Adventures 1 Adventures 2, and 06. But I think it was the characters level design as apposed to the characters themselves that people didn't like. I think it would be awesome if they included other playable characters with their own abilities like in Sonic 3 and the Advance series.
GameXplain here's a cool bit in pikmin 2 at the final boss' last phase when it's health gets low use a purple potion on it and attack it with red and purple pikmin and you get potions if done right
Ha, I got to talk to you:) But listen, I believe you said that Sonic and Eggman were working together, but after the appearance I began to doubt that. So what role do you think he will have in the game(xplain) if he ends up being the bad guy for another time?
The only thing I have to point out is that this is not a direct sequel to Colours... That was Generations. It would seem they somehow found a way to handwave Eggman out of the White Space for this game, making it a direct sequel to Generations.
I'm not sure if I'm right or not, but I don't see seven worlds. I see eight. There's the two green areas, one looking like a plains and the other looking more like a forest. There's the two desert areas (the lighter one and the darker one). There's the blue, likely ocean based area. The icy area, the volcano area, and what I assume may be a special cloud area in the very top. Maybe it's a reward you unlock from the red rings?
"They all seem to work the exact same" I don't know, except for maybe THE YELLOW WISP DOLPHIN DIVING OUT OF THE GROUND? How the hell does a person capable of noticing the tiniest details miss an obvious thing like that? Not only that, but this obviously means there's going to be a difference in how you exit the wisp form, since in Colours you did it by just leaving the ground
This game is taking all of my favorite aspects of Sonic games and removing all the ones I hate. If this included a chao garden, it would be near perfection.
The yellow wisp changed in lost world cause in colors the power would stop when you leave the ground but now when you leave the ground you go up then down into the ground if in the right ground you can bury again
Eggman started out on their side, but was yet again betrayed by the demon he tried to control. Just like every single game ever.
Andre, I think the "second desert region" is actually just the same place with different shading.
I always love the "super easy to click links" as if there was ever a time that someone said, "Man! Clicking that link really was difficult and took a lot out of me..."
Did you notice that the worlds seem to progress in a path on the Lost Hex map?

5:49 Egg Prawn?
Sweet, you left the best analysis point for last haha!
Anyone else spotted the green badnik from Metropolis Zone in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 at 4:48?
When you caught that chicken in that one frame was like OMG master. Thanks for the trailers :)
The collecting coins to open passageways (as mentioned in the casino level) originated in Sonic R. Only you collect regular coins in Sonic R as opposed to the special coins in Sonic Lost World.
Have you actually played it? It's amazing.
When?
I just noticed! In one scene, Sonic is seen running in place before speeding off. He's never done this before, apart from the games with the Super Peelout and its variations, and seems to resemble how he tends to run in place before blasting off in the American cartoons.

The yellow drill has something new: it can jump out of the sand.The rhythm seems to do a resemblence to how musical notes are put in music and it seems to be an eight note.
The yellow drill jumps out of the sand only on the Wii U but not on the 3ds.
Congrats on 130,000!
Did you see the 1 up icon at the point where you explain about those crocodiles at 6:16 if you pause. it looks the same as the one in generations.
And how exactly do you know that?
1:24 might not be the only time that the deadly six is seen as a group. on 0:32 the red one is on hill zone and 0:34 the pink one is also on hill zone as well. what I'm pointing out is the fact that the color boss are depending on the area u r fighting them in and all the other cut seen shows them independently but not fighting them in that area. instead they appear to be talking to one another like a team.
When Sonic 06 released, people complained that there were too many characters and it was just a big jumbled mess trying to cram in so many gameplay elements, so they decided to just focus on Sonic until they perfected him.
Did anyone else notice that when Zazz(or however its spelled) is showcased the side of eggman's egg mobile is shown next to him?
I love your videos! They're always so informing, and make me notice thing I wouldn't have before. Also, cant wait for a Super Smash Bro's one from you sir! Keep up the awesome work :D
2:02 Well, the left side of the tornado appears to be showing no level platforms, so maybe the tornado eats up the level as you go along.
I love how you speculate about whethe ror not they'll have three acts, completely ignoring the fourth act shown in the exact same trailer, as well as the screenshots showing at least another three acts of Windy Hill.
6:59 if you see it looks like sonic is revving up the super peel out ( run move) possibly if you hold the run trigger without moving the left stick
GameXPlain did u see those Silver Rings didnt those look like the ones in Sonic and the Secret Rings in that Casino night Zone?
3DS version is said to include unique color powers (maybe frenzy, hover and spikes? Or even a void and burst?)
Important thing. I don't think the deadly 6 betray eggman immediately. If you look in the background of the pink guy (zazz), you can see the eggmobile to the left.
Sega also released info that eggman was once working with the deadly 6 but they turned on him so now he is working with sonic to beat them. so perhaps the previously mentioned coop will use one of eggmans robots and even perhaps eggman himself with a shooting mechanic.
I'm so happy they've finally returned to just making fun Sonic games with not tacked on story or attempted realism.
Hey Gx will you do a review for the 3DS and the WiiU?, or only one, because I know there are differences in between both
I noticed how in colors, when you surface with the drill power, you lose it, but here you can go above ground.
Only on the Wii U / PC not the 3ds version.
i noticed that sonic does the super pill out whatever in the start of the stage,is this just a touch?is it just something to tease us?or does sonic actually GAIN this ability later on the game?
The drill wisp act's differently from it's Sonic Colors version, In Sonic Colors, the wisp would deactivate when it leaves the ground. In this game, it shows that you can continue to use the wisp as it jumps out of the ground, then back in. I thought it looked like a dolphin.
Wait, are some of those Deadly Six during the Desert Ruins covered in black??
Did you notice in the biggining of the trailer ( 0:17 ) that Sonic was charging his super peel out move like in Sonic CD.
6:45 Just a thought
with eggmans egg mobile behind zazz
it could mean that he may gain power over the deadly 6 over time
Never would have noticed Eggman's Eggmobile in the background at 6:50
Hey GameXplain, in the scene with 5 of the deadly six (Where zavok tells sonic to die) zina and zik are very dark.
Do they turn dark when defeated? Or is it just bad shading?
you forgot to mention that the drill whisp can now dive out of the ground instead of immediately turning him back into normal sonic
Nice to know even at these hours the guys at GX are working to get us content
Oh, Excellent job once again, GXP!
You may be right, but look at it this way...
We all knew that the Olympic game was coming out because of the deal already made. If that wasn't apart of the deal previously made, that means it was a surprise, since it was announced in June. One could say the Lost World for Wii U and 3DS is two different games.

Interesting that you can now jump out of the dirt without canceling drill. In Colors, you couldn't leap out of the dirt and dive back in like that.
Classic is back in his time frame in the past.
He basically said what you are saying. The Zelda Wii U shown at E3 11 was just a tech demo. However, the Link in the new Smash looks extremely similar, if not the same, to that model in the tech demo.
I'm guessing a few weeks after the release of Smash, we'll get an announcement. Nintendo use tease us for 6 months or more like their doing with Smash and Pokemon.
We are getting two Zelda games this year. Link between Worlds and Wind Waker HD remake.
Thank you sir. I stand corrected. I still doubt that Sonic Adventure 3 is coming out, but one can only hope...
actually the drillwisp seems to work slightly different. in colors the drill powerup would be cancled instantly if sonic hit the surface of the area he dug into ... but in this clip u can see him jump out of it and than digging back into it again in a dolphin-like fashion

Anyone notice that as sonic grabs the music wisp that the floor beneath him is cracked?maybe sonic will be able to break through platforms to reach new areas
At the end of Sonic Colours, The wisps went back to their world, but why are they here? Maybe the Lost Hex is the Wisp's Home? In GameXplain's previous analysis, they said that each Deadly Six supports the colour of the wisps (from Sonic Colours) and they also support the colours for the chaos emeralds. Maybe the Deadly Six a mutant Wisps or mutant chaos emeralds filled with life energy? I dunno.... I'm just guessing...
Also, when Sonic is transforming in Desert Ruins, if you look to the left, you can see that Motobugs are back.
True words. Tails and Knuckles should be mains. One of the best parts of Sonic 3 & Knuckles was when Knuckles finally joined up with Sonic at the beginning of Sky Sanctuary Zone. Felt Epic at the time.
I have a theory:
Since this is a sequel to Sonic Colors and the Eggmobile was right next to Zizz, maybe Eggman was using the Mind Control Beam. This would explain how Zizz survives, as instead of killing him, you merely hinder the connection between him and the Mind Control Beam. Then he would just be following the orders of Zavok in the Desert Ruins, Zavok still being under the control of the Mind Control Beam.
The brand new wisps are just different shaped and coloured. Like this, red=hover,dark purple/violet=frenzy, magenta=spike
zaz( the red member of the deadly six) may be the boss of the other dessert world and that is why all of the deadly 6 are there. that would explain why there all there. it would be like new super Mario bros 2 where koopaling are all fighting u at the end. this would be so creative and would actually make a lot of sence
I'm curious as to how and why Wisps are back on a story level.
Is Planet Hex related to the world the Wisps come from?
There is also a point on the website for lost world (nintendos homepage for it atleast)
that says: "Sonic and Dr. Eggman must unite to defeat the Deadly Six!"
Did you see the airplain in the picture that shows all the worlds? It has something that looks like one of bowser's kids for the new super mario bros series.
You should put some gameplay of the Casino Level that appear in a recent interview of Comic Con at GameSpot... we saw a lot of things, like the white coins are for to you send for the Pinball Machine. but great video anyway. =) I'm loving this game so far.
I meant is super sonic in the game for both wii u and 3ds and sonic lost world comes out October 22nd for 3ds and wii-u
Did you ever do a Smash Bros Wiiu/3ds analysis?
Okay, game explain, you missed the announce of slicers being inside the game, in the trailer, when they show off rhythm, at the final clip of them using the power up, just before they change the clip, you see a slicer just waiting for sonic to come towards him.
are you going to do a analysis of ssb4?
If you use the drill power, you need to use the game pad to draw a route underground.
does nobody knows why now the drill can get out of the dirt without changing out?
i think will be have a continue time like the cube wisp, because it look like it not going to change back to sonic. 5:07 (i'm curios...). and if the beat wisp is pink, what happen with sprikes?
maybe the final boss will be egg man flying above you shooting lazer beams while the red guy (sorry forgot his name) is chasing you from behind or using what ever attacks he gets
quick fact: if you check behind the deadly six you see some of their members darker then usual (in the desert portion)
Soo, if all of the deadly six correspond to those certain worlds, then where does the sweets level fit in?
You forgot to talk about the Super Peel out. No the running animation, but the real Super Peel out from Sonic CD.
You can see it at 0:17
You didn't mention that the drill wisp can now jump out the sand without reverting back to Sonic's normal form.
i think it would work with tilting,
because the drill makes really round loops
If Eggman is there, thats probably why Zazz is still alive in the desert cut scene.
Andre, The Sonic Blog says Sonic and Dr. Eggman team up after the deadly six go against Dr.Eggman
Is it just me or is the face in desert ruins act 2 is in another desert ruins act in the background. Maybe every region revolves around a face as zazz is carrying a face too
andre you need to look at the japan trailer for sonic lost world it shows all the bosses we need an analysis now!(that needs to be our catch phrase)
From what I've heard Tails, Knuckles, and Amy are going to be in the cutscenes of the game, but they won't be playable. Sadly people say they didn't put enough time into Sonic in Adventures 1 Adventures 2, and 06.

GameXplain here's a cool bit in pikmin 2 at the final boss' last phase when it's health gets low use a purple potion on it and attack it with red and purple pikmin and you get potions if done right
1:57 "That Tornado is carrying a car."
With drill(yellow wisp) you can do some "Ecco the Dolphin" tricks that weren't possible in colors.
Were there in a group and the red one ( forgot name) roars i think they group up and become a big final at the second desert because of the background
Also, I heard that Doctor Eggman is teaming up with Sonic. Considering that he is usually the final boss, Eggman will probably fight Sonic in the end.
are you still going to do the smash 4 analysis??????
Ha, I got to talk to you:) But listen, I believe you said that Sonic and Eggman were working together, but after the appearance I began to doubt that. So what role do you think he will have in the game(xplain) if he ends up being the bad guy for another time?
You forget the 7th Pride which maybe represent Sonic, Eggman or a hidden character in the final story.
It says that Eggman tried to control the Six, but they turned against him. Maybe Sonic and Eggman will team up after the first world?
The only thing I have to point out is that this is not a direct sequel to Colours... That was Generations.
It would seem they somehow found a way to handwave Eggman out of the White Space for this game, making it a direct sequel to Generations.
Those are two other deadly six members, which still leaves one left out.
I'm not sure if I'm right or not, but I don't see seven worlds. I see eight. There's the two green areas, one looking like a plains and the other looking more like a forest. There's the two desert areas (the lighter one and the darker one). There's the blue, likely ocean based area. The icy area, the volcano area, and what I assume may be a special cloud area in the very top. Maybe it's a reward you unlock from the red rings?
"They all seem to work the exact same"
I don't know, except for maybe THE YELLOW WISP DOLPHIN DIVING OUT OF THE GROUND? How the hell does a person capable of noticing the tiniest details miss an obvious thing like that? Not only that, but this obviously means there's going to be a difference in how you exit the wisp form, since in Colours you did it by just leaving the ground
Smart money says yes.
He's been in every Sonic since Colours, so we can only assume.
2:05
Of course the tornado is going to factor in the course.
That tornado is obviously going to be carrying a car.
They're actually a race called the Zeti, but yeah, that's what I thought too.
This game is taking all of my favorite aspects of Sonic games and removing all the ones I hate. If this included a chao garden, it would be near perfection.
GameXplain you are the best :) THX!
2:01 THAT TORNADO IS CARRYING A CAR!
when are you doing the Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS analysis!?
The yellow wisp changed in lost world cause in colors the power would stop when you leave the ground but now when you leave the ground you go up then down into the ground if in the right ground you can bury again
That's a very good theory. And also they are said to betray him earlier in the game.
Anyone else notice that in the scene where the Deadly Six are together in the desert, that 2 in the background are purely black?
