- I played every Sonic boost game to try to see both the good and bad, and what would make the perfect boost game! With the big Sonic 30th anniversary coming up and things like Sonic Prime coming and even Sonic Colors Ultimate getting announced, there's a good chance the boost gameplay still has some life in it. Maybe we'll see some of it come back in Sonic Rangers? Sonic Central may not have hinted at it, but it's possible! So what makes a great boost game? Let's discuss!

Even though Colors has alot of bad in its Script, there are a few moments I like from it like that cutscene of Cubot and Orbot cleaning up the 1st boss and Cubot bringing up how gruesome it actually is for them. That was fun.
Yeah it has its gems
"No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!"
I love that dialogue
@@hangeer4029 Yeah, that was one of the very few jokes that actually worked for me in Colors. Surprised he singled it out in the video.
nah, Colours script was good for the most part. people are afraid to admit that it successfully embraced the cheesiness of the franchise, and had so many great lines
a few bad ones, here and there, sure. but nowhere near as bad as some people say
@@GetShrekd Hush child, you'll bring about the rage of the Sonic Adventure fanboys. They'll rip you apart for merely enjoying Colors' gameplay, to say you enjoy the writing.... You're asking for hell itself.
my favorite will always be Unleashed. Good story with beautiful moments, perfect music with different tones for each continent, A Gameplay that is divided into 2:
First an adrenaline boost with platform sections with enough passageways to reach the goal in the shortest time, and the Werehog, a Hack & Slash mode with entertaining combos and a solid combat system.
Sure it has its flaws like the camera, or the grip range of the Werehog, but they didn't bother me so much to ruin the experience
Mine too
I liked it but I could not beat the game because I did not know how too :(
the story is literally Sonic Adventure, "Eggman reads about a god monster and wants to use it to take over the world, and the chaos emeralds are the only way to stop him. despite their best efforts, the god monster reaches its full power and then betrays Eggman, then Sonic goes super and kicks his ass, the end"
@@Maguarkwo671 it's 1000 times better than adventure and adventure 2
@@Maguarkwo671 you can say that to every Game like resident evil 4 leon is sent on a mission to find presidents daughter, he finds her and brings her back
Forces isn't more serious than Lost World or Colors though, it just pretends to be.
I don't think you've played any of these games
@@thaneros Why? I played all of the Sonic games.
@@GordieKat well I'd say that forces is more serious because its story feels like almost nothing and if you don't do non-serious stuff it's less kiddy
Forces is more serious in the dumbest stupidest technicality
it is more serious in idea, but in execution it feels like a mid season spongebob episode staring the mail man or some shit
"Sonic Boost" sounds like a game, to be honest
It’s a little disappointing how their attempt to try a new gameplay style with Lost World received generally lukewarm reception, which then resulted in them falling back on the boost for Forces. I really hope that if they can refine multiple gameplay styles, or heck, even combine the gameplay styles of Boost and Adventure into one game, we could see a genuine masterpiece of a game.
We needs us a masterpiece please Almighty jesus bless this blue hog with greatness. Amen this is happenin
I actually like lost world, felt like they they were going in the right direction
Lost World tried a little too hard to be Mario, and it really didn’t work out. Even the world themes are the exact same as New Super Mario Bros, including what order they’re in
@@polyhex actually if you look at an unreleased sonic game called sonic xtreme or look at a stage in sonic 3 and knuckles, both were using gravity manipulation in some way before mario galaxy so technically no sonic isnt trying to be mario, check you game history before posting
@@polyhex and level order has nothing to do with anything, i see nothing mario related in any of its game design and i played through this multiple times
I feel like one of the main problems of the Sonic fanbase is that is completely divided into many parts. I mean, having different opinions in a fanbase is cool, but I feel like there's not a general opinion for anything. Like, a lot of people hate Unleashed and a lot of people love it, a lot of people hate Colors and a lot of people love it, some people just like the adventure games, and some people just like the classic games.
There's hardly any harmony
Precisely why I’m not part of the fandom😅
Sonic Rush’s Ost is an absolute banger
Facts😎
I mean it’s the same guy who did the music for Jet Set Radio so of course it is.
Almost any sonic game ost is an absolute banger
@@sigvilmana3925 I'm glad that we can leave Chronicles as at least the example of not good ost
@@sigvilmana3925 yes expect for boom
TBH, you're really unappreciated. I really like your editing and voice, it fits :)
I just realised that colors ultimate is using unleashed wii version of sonics model for some reason
hmm no some of the details don't match up with the model at all. seems more like they changed the color to be similar to that tone and color of that model.
Do you have eyes?
To add on to what you said about chip being a good companion to sonic, I also do believe it was nice to see sonic have another close bond and companion with someone other than Tails. To me, I think Sonic still remembers all of his adventures in Unleashed, as the werehog, and with Chip, even after the game, but just decided to keep it to himself. And I do believe he still does have the bracelet Chip gave him.
Sonic Unleashed wins the award for best Sonic game!
Absolutely not sonic adventure 2
Lol with chip the werehog and those awkward controls with that horrible drift I don’t think so
Eh the game is to long because half ofnit is just the werehog terrible performance plus those stupid moon and sun medels
@@Nicu-vy3gm At least it takes skill and motivates you to wanna be better at the game.
@@thatclipmakerguy9959 more like be a chore
As much as I would love to see a return to the adventure gameplay, I don't really care what they do. It just needs to be done right. The same goes for the boost.
Unleashed really closed the 2000's era perfectly.
In terms of main titles
OH NO. The border’s caught you too?

Chip: Your To Strong To Lose yourself.
Sonic: *blink blink* STOP THE CAP!
*you're
*too strong to
I'm glad you covered UnWiished. I think it's an awesome game and I actually prefer the heavier limit on the boost as opposed to the continuous boost, and the gameplay is still super tight.
Colors Ultimate Your making my day amazing
Ik you

@@Cescc911 Gacha means anime made by luni the creator of Gachas since 2016
17:00 it was at this moment that I was subjected to an ad for water balloons that happened to prominently feature both the words “unleash” and “colors”
I feel like sega needs to wait and improve a lot of the sonic animations, because all the cutscenes just look really awkward. The best looking animations (when they are working right) is honestly from Sonic Boom
Sonic unleashed: very serious and good story
Sonic colours: *BALDY NOSEHAIR!*
Colors at least portrayed Tails better

@@AkameGaKillfan777 *failing to understand what Tails did in the whole game different from Unleashed that works with the professor and serves as a transport * ...
@@milesprower6110 Tails did nothing of substance during the plot. He went out of character by getting scared of the Gaia Spawns, and as shown in the PS2/Wii versions, the plane stages were unnecessary. If he was completely absent from the game, like so many other characters, nothing would change.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 they would haven't be able to travel between countries, and they wouldn't be able to restore the world cuz Tails knew about Professor who knew about the temples to restore the world. And Gaia Spawns affects peoples mentality and also are stronger than anything, if Tails was scared of them, it was a good reason different from the later on.
I'd love to see a game that transitions between Adventure, Boost, 2D and maybe even Lost World gameplay on a dime, depending on what paths you take in a level
Would be sweet if it was like frontiers. Have adventure style gameplay in the open zone similar to adventure 1. Then have unleashed boost style stages in cyberspace
Apparently, Sonic Generations on 3DS was only developed in six months, which would explain why it’s so underwhelming in comparison to the console version.
Also some things are just not possible on a system with less processing power than a GameCube
@@AkameGaKillfan777 i mean, Luigi's Mansion actually got a 3ds port, and Lost World 3ds was half 3D, so i think the issue wasn't power
@@GetShrekd I'm talking about Wii U ported games to the 3DS, like Mario Maker and Hyrule Warriors Legends
@@AkameGaKillfan777 I don't see how that has any relation to Generations 3ds tho
@@GetShrekd You brought those up, not me.
Here's how I think the gameplay should be like:
You know how Sonic Generations had Act 1 be based on Classic gameplay, and Act 2 based on Boost gameplay?
Think that, but the Classic gameplay is replaced with Adventure gameplay.
I was hoping Generations would be 3 acts with Act 1 as Classic, Act 2 as Adventure and a possible Act 3 as Boost
It's better to have classic sonic but with 3d sections so it's a mix of genesis and Megadrive gameplay
I wasn't referring to Sonic Generations having Adventure and Boost segments, I was saying that the first act should be the exploration based Adventure style of gameplay, while the second act is the fast-paced get-to-the-end boost style of gameplay.
@@KingKayro87 I don't see how that would work. The gameplay styles are too different.
@@the757general2So are the Classic and Boost gameplay segments of Sonic Generations.
So the first Sonic game I remember playing started the boost formula?
Awesome
Rush was my first as well!
Opinion on the Storybook (Secret Rings and Black Knight) and Adventure type (Adventure 1,2, Heroes, Shadow and 06) games? Gonna make a video about those soon?
Someone is now super happy that 06 isn't a boost game
What’s sad is Generations looks better than Colors Ultimate
No it’s not????
>:( Why do people freak out the moment a sonic game tries to shift perspectives? No one complained when mario hops into those 8-bit murals in Oddyssey
@@nickname2239 it really doesnt matter how much there is if it's a solid and enjoyable experience
I've not gotten far in odyssey but the 2d sections in it don't do anything for me. They're fine but thats really it.
I guess its all about novelty/design. The 2d sections in odyssey are designed almost like hyroglyphs and in a strange way feel "natural" to their environment
@MaestroEpicLoser Mario Galaxy, Mario Galaxy 2, Mario 3D Land (one level was also top down there), Mario Odyssey. That's 4 games.
Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors, Sonic Generations, and Sonic Forces is also 4 games.
The 8 bit sections in odyssey aren’t a dominating factor of the game and are instead one in many of odyssey’s fun and interesting mechanics that are toyed around with on occasion, sorry dude but this comparison of yours makes no damn sense.
@@coffee-tz3lm it's the same principle. It's just a shift of perspective.
WAIT the Sonic Unleashed that i played in my childhood wasn't the real one?!
My entire life has been a lie...
Definitely the Boost formula is one of my favorites playstyle. Rush was my first sonic game and in fact i had a blast playing it despite the rage sections. I would say Unleashed is my favorite sonic game, and the one did the boost better in comparison(what you say of trial and error is in Unleashed as well, just was more hard to master)
Generations was fun as well, i can understand why others prefer the simplify boost. Colors and Forces don't really sit well with me, despite like the former in my first time, and 100% the latter, i really never felt exited to go back to them
Good video!
I hate the Boost Formula
@@kenzonhundredpower and i love it
The first boost game I've played was colors, I never played rush or unleashed but I probably should at some point! I loved colors' gameplay and generations felt very polished that forces didn't feel right and I was disappointed it didn't since generations felt great imo!
even if Unleashed and Rush came first, I would say Rush is more forgivable with the player skills as holding boost is more to be used if you already know what you are doing but still passable if you don't use it.
While Unleashed really feels like a "roguelike" cuz it punishes you hard if you don't get better and boy, it just gets harder as you go but with more paths to enjoy. Also it has DLC (totally worth the extra) that comes with a hardcore version of the first act so... don't force yourself to like it if it ends stressing you out this one, but if you end up doing good like many hardcore players... wellp, good thing
*Shows apotos that's visibly a representation of greece*
*says italy*
💀✋🏼
Hold on... did he call Knuckles the ECHIDNA a Chihuahua? Lmao.
Shit u not I got a noftication from hideki nagamura on Twitter when u mentioned him lmaooo
While Sonic Forces isn’t bad, it’s really underwhelming, According to the ratings it states, “As a platformer, Sonic Forces has fundamental problems: Sonic's “targeting” mechanic is frustratingly unreliable; the double jump doesn't push high enough and is tough to parse when it's been activated, rendering it useless; the loose and imprecise platforming drives me up a wall.” But on a positive note, it’s a pretty decent game, good graphics, awesome soundtrack, really odd how you don’t get to play others characters such as Tails or Knuckles, but overall it’s a decent budget Sonic game.
9:43 it's mykonos greece
I personally like the Boost formula. The only thing I ask for is finally being able to play as other characters again that have a different feel to them, and a 2P racing mode that SA2 Battle had. I personally do not mind the boost formula being the possible permanent style, I just want to be able to play those games with other characters. Also I am a new subscriber, I enjoyed this video. I like how you give actual constructive criticism even if I don't personally agree, you're opinions aren't just the "I hate this because I think it's bad" you give an actual reason.
Sonic getting shocked is the best meme material
Ah man, you brought me good memories back with Unleashed
Y’all can keep your adventure games, I could replay unleashed and generations non stop
Sonic Unleashed is and will be always my favorite 3D Sonic Game.
I always thought the perfect evolution of the boost formula would be like mania. Normal base sonic has the boost and the power ups/wisps you get during the level changes changes your base ability. Allowing you to traverse the level a different way, or find new short cuts/routes.
Perfect
this is literally sonic colors
@@toluwanioni6534 i wouldn't say so. Its the *closest* but not exactly what im talking about. Theres a reason i mentioned like mania.
This is the first video I've watched in a few months and what a great video to start watching your channel again 😎
I've not played all the 3d boost games. Really only generations and forces.
Will play colors this fall though, and although I enjoyed the boost mostly in generations I think the reason as to why other gameplay styles are felt like they are tacked on to boost games is because the boost isn't really sustainable or very difficult to develop for and make interesting.
Boost can be fun but whether its because higher ups at sega think the game isn't fun or long enough or because devs at sonic team can't really flesh out their ideas to their fullest potential boost is forever gonna be in this weird spot
Sonic when he runs , should be running on water , up city buildings , when he steps the ground should crackle up. At high speed when you zoom in and hooming attack , I think foes should still attack you with attacks but then the screen slows down and zooms in on sonic into small quick time events and button sequences that allow sonic to dodge/evade and attack then the screen pans out just imagine if sonic had style like attacking with his feet doing mini combos like dmc but in a quick flash all while the music changes to the button presses. Just picture sonic being able to go fast enough to break the sound barrier causing wakes in mountains e.e ...das the type of stuff i wanna see
Boost games are fun, but tbh SA1/2 is better if I'm being honest
6:13 Best part
Sonic colors is not my favorite sonic game because of the cutscenes but because of the gameplay, it is to this day the most fun game to play on wii in my opinion!
This was enjoyable, thank you for the video
Wouldn’t sonic and the secret rings count cuz it has speed break?
No, it's a spinoff
@@AkameGaKillfan777 No it's a main game, Sonic mention his genie adventure in Sonic Generations you fool
@@kenzonhundredpower That doesn't mean it isn't a spinoff. By that logic Mario is a Zelda character because of the Easter egg in Ocarina of Time
@@kenzonhundredpower a game being canon doesn't mean it's mainline. That's solely determined by the gameplay.
I personally enjoy Unwiished a lot more than Colors and it is the superior game for me.
**Talks about Italy**
_shows Greece_
Upon revisiting it, I like Sonic Forces
9:43 aww bless, that's Greece
im pretty sure we all did
Colors DS was my first Sonic game and it's probably better than the Wii version
What I hate in Generations is that they kinda slowed down how fast you go when using boost. Since Unleashed boost is much faster. Well the levels are slightly shorter but. Mods can help with that.
Ikr, it's like generations felt so slow compared to unleashed. Unleashed was like high octane speed whilst generations felt like a really slow stroller if ugm
You forgot the mobile version of unleashed
You're so underrated! Keep up the good work
One of us! one of us?one of us!!!!
Thank you for giving unleashed the credit it deserves lol. Everyone hates on it because of the night time parts but it’s still considerably enjoyable even if they just jumped onto the beat em up game train. Also I have only played the wii version so I’m sad I didn’t even get to experience the better game. SONIC COLORS THO
Elize and Mephiles are awesome
Sonic unleashed was the last big budget sonic game. That means that sonic colors sonic generations and the other games or with a low budget. Even sonic generations doesn't look as good as sonic unleashed. I'm not comparing sonic colors because that's a Wii title and you know how they look. There's this one request I want Sega to read. Make sonic unleashan on PC
All of those other games in turn had better framerates
Yeah that's why l want the PC port of sonic unleashed
Imagine how beautiful the graphics will be. Oh and I already know the mods are coming
Generations is essentially a reskin of Unleashed, same engines and all
If it wasn't, Unleashed Project wouldn't be possible.
Sonic generations doenst look as good as unleashed because otherwise the framerate would die. That doesnt mean the game didnt have budget. It was a developer decision, not a lack of budget.
the face reveal was unexpected
Sonic Colors is alone for the Final Boss worth playing.
I'm a Sonic fan to I'm like his biggest fan I think
Um ok… but it’s too😅
I'm currently on a journey to complete every Sonic Game ever :o I've completed so many. Also on original Hardware.

It was exclusively this game and if you wanna count it shadow the hedgehog and ironically both came out on the same day,month and year but I will take this "cringe" over whatever the 2010s game have had offered

Tbh, you're right, Sonic Colors is the only Sonic Game that was *JUST* Sonic, no one else.
Unleashed, Generations and Lost World
@@AkameGaKillfan777 Forgot to include Lost World, but I'm talking, JUST Sonic's 3D Boost and *NOTHING* else. Unleashed had the Werehog, and Generations had Classic Sonic. You had to play as both versions just to progress in the game.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 Nope, still Sonic.
@@artistanthony1007 So yes?
Subscribed, love the short skits in between the reviews
In my opinion, keep them short and sweet, dont make them too. My opinion of course
Have you seen Project Sonic Advanced made by ALTIER. I highly recommend you check it out if you havent
Blends Adventure and Boost gameplay together beautifully imo
Keep up the great work
I would technically count SA2 or SA1 as the first ever boost games
What how
super sonic kinda uses it in sa1 against perfect chaos but then in SA2 both super sonic and shadow uses it to move around faster
If you call that Boosting then might as well add 3&K becuz the dash when you become Hyper Sonic
no thats different the hyper dash and boost are very different the hyper dash takes out every enemy on screen boosting is constant you have to keep holding on the button
Then I guess Wii Unleashed doesn't count since you don't have to hold the button
Also that would mean SA1 doesn't count either because you don't press any button
SONIC RUSH IS THE FIRST EVER BOOST GAME
Imo, Unleased & Generations are the only good Modern Sonic games, let alone the only good Boost games
Generations is a decade old now and Unleashed even older. They're not "modern."
I always like the second rush better
nice
As much as all this criticism makes sense but I honestly he isn't expecting too much as Sonic team in making a lot of this problems as well I mean actress in Sonic o-6 we've been expecting a lot from Sega there are some things that turned good and other things that turned bad but I think so those reasons was because that we expected just too much I mean I bet the people that made the complaint that signed quote had too many friends and is probably the reason why are in this right now I'm not a reason is because ever since in Sonic o-6 most other characters had to be playable or as good character development being one-dimensional or just found some characters there is only so I'd be playable by then and yet why can we see it I guess we're just expecting way too much on Sadiq but I just hope that side Rangers by trout better and hopefully for the best as well as the past few years Sonic team is probably just too stupid to make a good psych story

I was about to publish my comment saying the first Boost is in Advance 2 and 3 but I'll still say, it's a Proto-Boost and so is the first form of it before change and improvements.
