I noticed we look really sweet in this video.

Ain't no way 🤣
PFFTTT WHAT
Atleast The Hedgehog himself can look back on his past and see the good in his not-very-good games.
While the music being deleted is sadly not true, there is something else about the music which is in my opinion even funnier:
Apparently, the music had to be removed due to "legal reasons" and Bioware decided that the only logical thing to do was to steal music from Sonic Fansites. But they even fucked up that and because of time constraints they didn't manage to make some percussion instruments actually play.
Lawsuits is just a part of this games identity i guess
There's a bit more to the "time constraints" thing.
This game was in development while EA was buying BioWare, and EA essentially told BioWare, "I know you're contracted by Sega to make this Sonic game and so you have to finish it, but if you don't get this thing out the door as soon as possible so we can buy you, we're calling it off."
Also, it was more than just the percussion instruments. They messed up converting the MIDI files to work with the DS's sound chip, so there's just instruments missing and other instruments that are supposed to be playing in one soundfont playing in another.
@@ChazzzyF Those things just make it even better!
@Arcana zero Studios But how do you top a masterpiece?
Lawsuits? This is mostly all Sonic 3D Blast music (Both Genesis and Saturn versions) It would of almost been more reasonable to just use the original Sonic 3D songs
This game also contains arguably the best "Timmy fell down a well" joke ever written: at one point an NPC asks you to save his son Timmy, who has fallen down a well. You go down the well and discover that 'Timothy' is a grown man who inspects wells for a living.
I completely forgot about this.
I played the game when I was like 9 and only remember the one where you have to get a guy newspaper while he's on the toilet.
@@jayalriik7421 I don't think I ever found that quest, I must've somehow missed it. Where was that?

And pops basically had dementia
7:54 no way in hell he just silly walked, carpet bombed shadow, stood *in front of it* , then started dancing
Pretty in character
it's so fucking stupid, had me laughing for a while
The devs really picked the character who's gone for half the game to give the best animations to
It's so stupid but I've been laughing at it for about 5 minutes now💀
One of Eggman’s 300 IQ moves I guess 😂

@@geoffreyprecht2410 my guess is Nintendo being on his ass. If nintendo isn't careful, Sega can sonic boom right past them again. Pokemon SV caused people to wake up to the problems with Nintendo consoles.

I love how Bioware didn’t think that Cream being able to affect herself wouldn’t break the game.
that or they did, with the expectation that Cream MUST be broken, as she was in her original game.
I think they intended for the QTEs to make up for it
I dont think a lot of thought of any kind went into this game.
Cream was broken in all Sonic games she appeared as a playable character, so this is very on brand.
Cut them some slack, they were founded by a paradox, after all.
I like how the devs just shill themselves at the end
Not shilling. It's just the credits + extra, hence the "I'm outta here option" to immediately leave.
@@lukeskylicker Still shilling + outing themselves as the people that made this game. Double L

Easily the best bad game I've ever played.
Also Alpharad completely glossing over how if you play your dialog right you can get a romantic confession from Amy and state bluntly that yes, Dexter was obviously not real.
WHAT A TWIST!
@@RandoSando. The question is more so “why?”
Like, I know it was in an attempt to make Sonic jealous, but still…

“Oh, Sonic’s your man? But I thought you already had a man!”
Fucking hell, Rouge, go easy on the poor girl!
@@zyriantel9601
Rouge is 18.
Amy is 12.
She didn't have to, and no real reason to, but her grown self chose to dunk on a preteen in front of her crush just for so.
Cruel and unusual, 10/10 would stan again
@@zulephizus1212Rouge was 18 in this game? I’m not surprised Amy being 12 but, I thought Rouge was like 25.
What's funny is Penders' lawsuit didn't just prevent a sequel. It's a pretty fascinating read, he basically derailed the entire series, forced a giant reboot and caused Sega to create new restrictions and censorship rules.
well it derailed the archie comics. not the whole series.
@@EXFrostand Archie’s incompetence is what eventually led SEGA to just cancel the Archie comics entirely (though I wish they had waited until the then-current four-issue series ended. They were doing the classic games, and they ended it at CD, the third game. Had they done it after 3, they could’ve ended things more neatly.), eventually starting a new series with IDW (which has now been integrated into the main canon).
Though I haven’t been hearing a lot of good from IDW lately, so maybe we might get an Archie repeat.
I was about to say, it had all sorts of implications for the games, comics, and TV shows. They did violate the settlement by having echidnas in sonic 2 (movie) though, which is interesting and I hope sega grew balls and continues to do that sort of thing
@@paperluigi6132IDW might not always hit, but it's gonna take a *lot* for it to even start scratching the surface of fuckery that Archie was.
@@paperluigi6132 There's absolutely no way it will EVER reach Ken Penders level of bullshit. That was a bygone era of amateur artists and fanfic authors being allowed to pilot official sonic storytelling.
IDW might get stale or boring or even outright bad. But never to the levels of autistic cringe Ken outputted.
I was in stream for all the crashes at the beginning, and he didn't mention it, but he bought an entire physical copy just in case it wouldn't work at all
He also totally downloaded malware along the way too live on stream lmao
And then kept it even after he got the emulator working
@@xakerie5762 Shit, man, with how bad this game is, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was somehow malware hard-coded into the physical copy
@@xakerie5762 wait actually-
First 2022 video
Loved this game as a kid, played it several times over. I have no recollection of the entire space plotline
Same bro. I remember the gameplay itself being just good enough for me as a kid (I never really played "good" rpgs) but I actually reaaaaaally dug the plot about the sonic world, the echidna's and Knuckles' journey.
There are multiple endings
Do you mean that during this section... You spaced out?
thats me as a kid and minions movies 💀
I've played this game in it's entirety and managed to add some +2 ng+ as a kid, i only remember the biggest chunks of the game and i really wonder considering you get no exp whatsoever before reaching the last dungeon lmao litteraly the only thing keeping me in was the power trip i'd get out of stomping on the entire game when i was struggling at first
Not only does it end on a cliffhanger but bioware had the balls to dickstroke themselves this is a masterpiece truely
I believe there’s a term for dickstroking yourself, it’s masturbation
And also promote an Dragon Age game, IN A SONIC GAME!
I like how the game ends with a timeloop
Since there wasn't a sequel, they'll just keep repeating their actions till the heat death of the universe
I'll never not be disappointed by this game. This game had the potential to be Sonic's answer to the Mario & Luigi series, but a combination of unfortunate events coupled with a frivoulous lawsuit that not only killed any hopes this game had for a sequel, but also helped kill off the Archie Sonic comics and the Archie Megaman comics to boot, it really felt like everything that could've gone wrong, did.
It hurts me so damn much that the sonic archie comics and the sonic megaman comics took one hits because of the stupid ass lawsuit like those were EPIC!! I remember being so hyped for the archiecomics and begging my mom to buy them from the grocery store. Like damn,,,,
honestly i feel like a sonic rpg could work too, especially w sega making fun of themselves more often i feel like it could geniunely be a blast if they dont take it too seriously lmao
somehow i doubt that it killed the megaman comics. Pretty sure Archie Publishing did that themselves.
I'm pretty sure the death of the Archie Sonic Comics had nothing to do with this other than that Ken Penders was involved in both.
Oh how I miss mario and Luigi
Calling Omega Shadow’s robot boyfriend is so incredibly accurate.
Team dark is basically Rouge having to take care of her two PTSD ridden boyfriends
_I never thought I'd ever come across a comment like this.... And now that I did _*_I DON'T REGRET IT XD_*
Reminds me of Snapcube's Sonic dubs where Rouge has been in multiple poly relationships (the Babylon rogues, dating sonic who is also with shadow). In that universe, I can imagine team dark being a romantic yet aggressive polycule.
Omega: I wish to destroy Eggman for my creation.
Shadow: *PTSD worsens every week*
Rouge: hehe jewls pretty
@@Schnort And I think Rouge got kicked out of the polycule because she couldn’t name more than two of the Beatles
The worst part is that the story actually started with Sonic Battle, which introduced the Gizoids and added some actual intrigue and probably the saddest ending in a Sonic game, which then continued into Sonic Advance 3 with a replica Gizoid being part of the story.
Don't forget that Emerl makes an appearance in Sonic Battle and is effectively a customizable character with the ability to have every character's moveset, which makes him the most broken fighter in that game
@@SevenHickory1 i know what you mean, but i think it's hilarious to say that emerl 'makes an appearance' in his only canon game and the one that he's the main character of, lmao
I'm wondering why G-Mel wasn't with Cream & Cheese...But maybe it was left with her mother, Vanilla? I don't think anything can replace what was Emerl.
@@DarknessXxMaster It’s in canon that he tends to their homestead so most likely. Gemerl definitely gets more attention in the IDW comics and is a cool bro to Cream and Vanilla at least

"Did you know this was made by BioWare, which was founded by two doctors?"
I did not Tails, but I'm now reconsidering balancing my humors and bloodletting thanks to that!
I didn't know that, Tails. I also didn't expect you and Sonic to start breaking the 4th wall.

There has been several times where I wanted to replay this game, but couldn't because I lost the cartridge.
It's been a while since I've watched an Alpharad video in its entirety, I'm glad to see they're still as funny as ever.
Never thought we’d see Alpharad talk about Ken Penders lore on the channel 😆 such an insane rabbit hole. Curious what the sequel would’ve looked like if it wasn’t for the lawsuit.
don't talk about rabbit hole you'll give ken ideas :~((

@Don't Read Profile Photo g8 b8 m8 I r8 it 8/8
The characters didn't even look similar loool....
@@nakedstatue8517 exactly
1. Yes, they did delete the entire soundtrack. The entire soundtrack that is now in the game, took (I believe) 2 days, and was 90% free sound effects.
2. The emulated version crashes sometimes.
3. The Chao are incredibly broken.
4. It is cannon that Rouge can seduce robots.
5. Cream is broken.
6. Feroz is broken.
7. Super Sonic can die.
8. In the final fight, they both actually don't have a health bar, and instead have a hit count.
9. Shadow and Cream make you basically immortal.
10. Omega has the highest potential damage, (except for the final fight).
11. The space islands (other than the final island of the game) are the reason the game wasn't received well, which in turn stopped it's sales because it was really boring, which is the real reason it never got a sequel: because that combined with the Lawsuit, meant they would only lose money if they made a second.
Is there any source stating that the music was deleted?
Source for the first one?
"BioWare (the main creators of Sonic Chronicles) had a full, originally composed soundtrack made for the game. However, before release they had to pull the stage music out for a variety of legal reasons. Under pressure of this, along with time constraints, BioWare took pre-existing MIDI files (a music composition format) of music from earlier Sonic games from different Sonic fan websites, and added them as the Stage music. The Sonic Community has criticized this decision greatly. Time constraints also made them use an unfinished custom soundfont (a variety of instruments in one file). Because of this, some percussion instruments in certain songs are missing. An example of this can be found in the song "Nocturne"." -Sonic Retro

in this case its both
I watched Jaiden play Mario while blindfolded whilst Jacob guided her so I got to see him lose his sanity while someone else played a good game!

Sonic Chronicles: "That's not a threat, it's a promise."

Imagine the emotional toil this ending had for a child playing the game, watching as it suddenly promises to self-restart your save like a directive in a spy movie, and not knowing anyone else who played the game who could possibly grasp the depth of your confusion or confirm that: yes, that really just happened. Thanks for sharing the Sonic Chronicles experience with the rest of your viewers, Alpharad

The best credits of all time, can’t believe the two doctors at bioware got a sudden fear of hedgehogs and will never get close to working with sega again
As someone that has played the new game + portion of this game, I can confirm the following:
- you carry over all your gear and experience from playthrough 1
- all your characters will level up to the level they reached previously after just one battle on NG+
- None of the enemies scale in power or HP therefore you will quite literally be able to wipe out everything in one or two hits
- No much to everyone's disappointment there is nothing else after beating the game a second time. It just loops again and again and again.
As someone who has played this game more than once, the shadow fight in the toxic swamps is optional. If you chose the right dialogue options he will just leave without fighting you.
Im just glad to see people acknowledge this game's existence for the first time in years. It's not a great game, but I love it. Just hate that Penders killed the sequel
Genuinely would've been such a banger.
Penders kills a lot of things in the sonic series.
We can't hide from the penders
Indeed
Not only killed the sequel. He killed it from cannon forever.
I want to see a sequel specifically so they can reopen the insane court case
Sonic chronicles 2: The dark legal issues
That would be very interesting to see in this day and age for sure.
I’m almost scared to know what court would be so bored as to willingly take on that case.
@@Zero-ontheleft THE DARK AGE OF LAW
I’m pretty glad this game didn’t get a sequel. The money and time that would need to be poured into something that could top a game of this caliber would be insane, and we’d probably lose the cartoony fucking death sound effects.
Them sound effects were probably free just like the soundtrack
I love how the game tries to be super serious with the plot but simultaneously is also like ''haha funni death go BWUAUAOAOANG YAAAAAAAAY''
How could I ever take this game seriously if Eggman does the goofy walk before blowing an enemy up
@@K-Rocketman does the plug walk before carpet bombing the entire enemy team
The white echidna from the comic wasn't created by Penders and was based off of another white echidna from the UK comic. The second one has little or no similarities to Shade, it was her sister named Julie-Su who also looks nothing like Shade and is pretty different in character aside from both of them defecting.
Penders didn’t care at all. We will forget his attempt at comics, but we will never forget the Nocturne.
@@manoftruth0935 apparently he thought about going after the sonic 2 movie. didn't seem to go anywhere
This game gives off serious fan game vibes ngl, I can't be alone on this one
But Sonic fangames are better than Sega’s stuff, not worse.
You say that like I'd want to play either.
It’s a ds game
Glad to see both Alpharad and the comment section mentioning how, despite the game's technical difficulties, it being a hidden childhood gem.
Many technical difficulties. XD
The deeper Alpharad dives into the Sonic franchise, the more his mind unravels.
I can’t wait for him to try and figure out the comics. That shit is borderline indecipherable
The Archie ones at least
13:48 The fact this whole attack is so epic and still ends with the fucking stock cartoon sound effect is unbelievably hilarious.
Like, imagine if Goku vs Frieza ended like that? Frieza gets cut in half and falls to the ground and you just hear the Nickelodeon splat sound effect?
I played the shit outa that game when I was a kid and the fact there wasn’t a sequel had me in actual tears.
After watching this video, my feelings have not changed.
I want the 2nd game to have all the sound effects being the iPhone Calculator sound effects to make it even worse.
If you think about it, Ken Penders is basically the world's most successful Sonic OC artist.
succesful is a big word
More like most arrogant.
Naoto Ohshima, surely!
At what cost?
The most successful Sonic OC artist is working for Sega on actual games right now T_T
There's a secret scene where after beating shade. If you have Amy on your team she'll try to break the boulders that shade blocked with and only ended up to get knocked out
Fun fact, if you keep the credits going, Omega finishes them because Tails gets tired, then Sonic falls asleep and Omega calls them stupid meatbags.
The funniest thing about the Penders Chronicles lawsuit is that he literally has no grounds and SEGA literally just ignored it.
And because he already had a lawsuit going out at the time, it was thrown out. Multiple times.
Fr. I'm looking back and forth between the designs and there's basically zero similarities. Aside from them being Sonic echidnas.

As a kid, I REALLY wanted this game. I used to enjoy replaying it over and over. I even constantly borrowed (and then "kept") the official guidebook from the library.
Nowadays, I can only play the first half of this game on a lazy day....
Damn...
I love how Jacob looked at the game, realised its soundtrack was unbearable, and decided that the only solution was to swap in the best tracks from Xenoblade 2 whenever he could
From one Chronicles to another.
I love how his reaction to the ending was basically just maniacal laughter
I was in Florida a couple years ago, and I shit you not, I found a copy of Sonic Chronicles buried on the beach after I asked for a game earlier that day. It was like a god damn monkey's paw wish.

If you progress through this dark souls of a game you get cool lore tho
It was my first real video game (not an educational thing on a windows xp office pc), this really brought back good memories of my old home :)
Cool lore that is no longer canon

Only reason I played the NG+ so many times as a kid is because I was convinced the ending wasn't real! You can imagine my disappointment after the 5th time me trying it 😅
Fun fact:
Apart from being a Sonic game with the worst music but also with one of the best stories, it also is the only one Sonic game that drop a clue about what a echidna on super form would look like.
IX, the main villain was always on super form cause he was always using the energy from chaos emerald except at the final battle where player has gathered all chaos emerald and the master emerald, so he goes back to the normal echidna form (could do a fight with super sonic due game explains he used the energy of the citadel)
I luvvv the music
@@superninja123 i mean, compared to other Sonic music, this one is bad.
What actually happened to the soundtrack is that that the songs were complete, but they forgot to put a bunch of instrument samples in the game, making the songs sound very incomplete.
If you convert the soundtrack to midi, you'll see plenty of instruments that are there but aren't actually heard.
Man, I used to play an unhealthy amount of Sonic Chronicles as a kid. It was my first Sonic game and it just feels like a feverdream in retrospect

@@bend7726 Yes, tho the devs like calling it a "Reimagining" since their changing and adding so much. There hasnt been a Dev Update for a bit but they said they'll only give updates when their satisfied with what they're willing to show
2:13 bro they brought out the meme soundboard for this one
Had this game as a kid, got mommy bat thing, got lost, stopped playing.
Sonic chronicles is genuinely one of my favorite sonic games and ds games in general I've played through it so many times
I remember getting this as my first game when I was 7, a solid masterpiece that I replay occasionally, wish the game got harder when u got to restart it at level 18 lmaoooo
@@chris_b346 I rebooted the game to get an army of broken chao (s)
This game was so fun
I love that that lawsuit not only made it so that this game didn't get a sequel but also made it so that this game stopped being canon to the Sonic universe.
This game rebooted the Sonic Comics universe
Probably for the best
Shade is still canon apparently, she's mentioned in the most recent encyclopedia
5:22 That’s the crunchiest sound effect I’ve ever heard.
I played this back in 2012 on a dodgy R4 my friend gave me. It broke before I got far. To this day, along with the Blackberry Sonic Unleashed demo, it remains one of only 2 Sonic games I've ever played, and the only Bioware game I've ever played.
7:00 WAIT?! One of the chao you can get, removes the touch screen bullshit? I might be willing to retry playing this game at some point if that's an option.
Only for its bonded partner
This game feels like it's a collective fever dream that we've all just decided to accept as part of reality.
You just described r/tulpas in one second
4:08 - This is actually a MIDI version of a track from Sonic 3D Blast. Not only did they manage to lost the original soundtrack, what they replaced it with was in part composed of MIDIs presumably downloaded from VGMusic.
10:08 lol the way he said rouge😂
Every song makes me laugh uncontrollably and the thought that this was hurriedly made in a single night makes it even better
14:09
And that's how Sonic Chronicles is the Prequel to Sonic Forces, you're welcome for this horrible realization.
😭😭
Other way round, Sonic Forces is this game’s sequel
@@lukiwei9468 Now it makes sense
@@lukiwei9468 🧐 🧠 I mean Forces came out Way later but the joke serves its purpose
5:52 Predicted the murder of Sonic the Hedgehog
This was my favourite game as a kid next to Unleashed and i still stand by that. Its goofy as hell but had big potential, I feel. I still replay it from time to time!! Happy to see someone else finally play it :)
RIGHT THERE!!! 11:46. That blue crystal golem looking dude is where I got my username. They are the Zoah. I was stuck on that planet forever because I was a dumb kid and forgot about over world abilities. I grinder away and over leveled on random encounters. Frustrated, I put the game away for a few months to come back and accidentally walk into the final boss room I stomped him to bits and declaimed myself “The King of the Zoah” I have had that same username basically everywhere for years and I am glad it came from one of the sonic games of all time.
Now that's some good username backstory. :D
if I had a nickel for every time Cream the Rabbit was the most broken character in a Sonic game, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Legend has it that Alpharad is still trying to get the game to end
You know, Ken Penders might just be the reason why Sonic lore nowadays (especially when it comes to Knuckles's territory) seems so bland.
8:08 Eggman was before the times huh
THIS GAME WAS MY CHILDHOOD
That's sad...
@@Chillgamesh what’s sad is that it will never have a sequel 🥲
@@Daybed- I think a sonic jrpg would be cool SEGA owns ATLUS so they could have them make it
I played 10 minutes as a kid gave it back and got sonic rush best decision of my live
I played this game probably 5 times through and kept looping every time. It’s not a great game but the nostalgia goes hard for me
5:13 Fun Fact: this robot is actually a reference to Sonic SAT AM
I remember borrowing this from my local library many years ago.
this'll be a heck of a nostalgia trip.
That unrestricted fit of animalistic laughter at the end restored my HP in real life
Thanks and merry Christmas mr Rad
7:26 13:58 The Looney Tunes sound effects make this experience way funnier than it should be, so well done to the developers for putting it in 😂😂
That ending sounds insane with the three boss fights in a row and random bioware shilling, but... would you believe he isn't even doing justice to how insane that ending is? Look up the final cutscene if you haven't already seen it. It's a treat. Heck, watch Raocow do a full blind playthrough of this game with minimal guidance. It's insane.
Dark Brotherhood is by far my favorite sonic game, I'm glad it finally got the recognition it deserved. You can make fun of it but it's far better than boom and I think we can all agree on that.
