Me too buddy I played this game when I was like 7 or 8 and I literally was crying because of the song in the end and now I'm 17 and in my Last year of high school they say time flies huh sonic and the secret rings wil always have a special place in my heart such as sonic unleashed and sonic and the black knight😌😪
I think it's needlessly cruel. His wish should have instead been "Until you truly learn to change your ways you shall forever spend your days inside your lamp as in days of old". The way it's worded now is not giving the guy a chance for redemption. I'm going to believe that it actually means that rather than how it sounds.
@@bunsmasterbunny he wasn't going to change. He was given a chance at redemption and he squandered it. Even after all that time, he learned nothing. His sentence was just.
I remember playing this when I was younger. One night I was playing and my parents got home from work and in when they came through the door they were holding a puppy. I’d always wanted a puppy and I’ll always be reminded of that day I got him when I see this game
"I wish for a mountain of handkerchiefs. So, let yourself cry, you'll have as many handkerchiefs to help you through it." That stuck with me since the first time playing through, I don't know why. It's such a beautiful thing to say.
Did you get stuck on Dinosaur Jungle? When I was but a wee lad, I got stuck at the point Sonic says, 'Outta the frying pan and into the fire, huh?!'. I couldn't figure out what the fuck I was meant to do...
Oh, man, I miss playing this game, and especially the voice actors here. Despite the weird controls, this is a fun game. Defeating Erazor in the end has never been more satisfying. The Mario Party-like mini-games are fun too, if you have all the characters, and I always use Shadow there, though I love Amy, Cream, and Blaze.
What Sonic did at 3:12:38 was amazing! It’s kinda sad for Shahra to sacrifice herself to protect Sonic at 3:13:35.. Sonic The Hedgehog’s transformation to Darkspine Sonic at 3:15:28 gives me chills all over! 3:20:23: In your face, Erazor!
I'll say it to this day, Sonic and the secret rings had one of if not the best speed mechanics. Time and speed break will always be apart of my childhood.
This was actually the first sonic game I ever played Some friends I knew had a Wii that broke and they gave their games away to us and this was one of them
I get the feeling that Erazor Djinn reminds me of Jafar from Aladdin.and having Agrabah here in a sonic game well that just adds to the authenticity of it all.
Fun fact: as a small child (like 5-6), Erazor Djinn would scare the heck out of me. Whenever he came up in the game, my older cousin would say “hide, it’s the big scary man” and so I would run behind the couch until he was gone XD
For real everyone dogs on the controls but if you just pay attention in the tutorials you can remove all of the problems that most people blamed on "bad motion controls". The story was pretty good. Not too complicated but serious and sets the stakes well. Worlds were well designed like every other sonic game, music is some of the best out there, etc. Only the party game controls were wack
and now, my thoughts on all the themes in the game Tutorial area: Basic atmospheric music, but... kinda creepy not gonna lie. Sand oasis: Upbeat and sets the tone of the game and its mechanics up perfectly. Don't stop, just go. Poison spear: Sounds like something out of SMT/Persona and i love it. Dino jungle: Repetitive, but still catchy. Evil Foundry: C O B I F A N S R I S E U P ! Levitated Ruins: Probably my favorite level theme, despite it being a bad level. It's just... beautiful. Pirate storm: Grungy and feels like you could die at any moment. Cool. Blue on the run: Sounds like something out of scooby doo, okay? How it started: Favorite boss theme, due to the sheer intensity and catchiness Bone zo- i mean skeleton dome: Runner-up on favorite level theme, helped by some catchy lyrics. Unawakening float: Bronze medal for best theme, due to the sense of finality. Come to this: Worst boss theme, fight me. really repetitive, and while it sounds like a standoff, it doesn't fit for, you know, a fake-out final boss! Seven rings in hand: The theme you hear throughout the whole game, and in typical pre-generations fashion, the context of the lyrics becomes so much more badass due to the events leading up to bootleg Hoopa's battle.
This was the only sonic game I ever played besides mania but man this was a good sonic game I can see and feel the nostalgia as the secrets and challenges come back to me
I had to stop for a bit and research this for a bit before I continued because I was confused. But this is my second time watching it and I enjoy the storyline and his new form in this! Darkspine is such an underrated form.
@@ViViDG yeah, one is the controllers, but once you keep playing they don't feel that bad. And the fact that the game lacked HD resolution due to the Wii's Hardware really made it lack that sharpness. Other than that it's my second favorite sonic game besides Sonic and the Black Knight.
This is actually helpful because im stuck on chapter 6 and not trying to mess with the race in chapter 3 im just waiting until i get the wind crest upgrade
Something that gets lost in translation is that Erazor Djinn calls Sonic a "nezumi" and Sonic says "I'm a harinezumi" meaning "mouse" and "needle mouse."
When I was little I never played through the actual game. I just kept replaying the tutorial. (I think) I remember playing the mini games with my little brother a lot though. They were pretty fun. I was so little when I first played this game.
I’ve heard people complain about the auto running in this game but honestly it’s really not that bad once you know how to get used to it. I gotten most of the missions beaten easily and not all of them. Only some of them gets on my nerves.
LOVE IT!!!!! Sonic is STILL that Same, Optimistic Blue Hedgehog I know & love. I especially adored his friendship with Sahara. And the ending was so touchy, it made me cry. "S&TSR" has been added to my list of favorite "Sonic" games. 💙😍😭🦔🎮
I must be one of the few who didn't have any problems with the controls because to me they seemed intuitive and didnwhat I wanted it to do. I love this game I don't get how others feel it controls so poorly
Holy shit. This really goes to show how cool I thought everything looked on my Wii back then. The graphics look... rough. Still love this game and black knight with all my heart, graphics and gameplay be damned.
YOOOO the nostalgia is REAL with this game. Memories. Always played this game while in elementary school. Now I'm 17 going into senior year. :)

Can we all agree that the last cutscene of this game was one of Sonic’s most badass moments ever?

If he swam in the water he would be like HELP OH MY GOOOD

Same bro
I played the first Sonic the Hedgehog in my high school days. Oh, the memories... Just recently got back into the series because of the movies.
Same
I share the same nostalgia. It may not be the greatest, or even competent perhaps, but it's got one heck of a soul to admire.
TRUE AND BASED
You have to respect the professionalism of the voice actress for the genie.
Am I the only one when I was younger never played the actual game and just played the minigames?
Yes!!!
i couldn't get through the tutorial so that's all i played lmao
Same here lmao! Always the minigames.
Same I forgot that this was even a game I thought I only played Lego Batman and super smash bros
I remember literally getting bored of the tutorial and just playing the party mode instead
Im glad we have TH-cam to document history like this, Nostalgia is a painful yet great feeling.

Opening, ending and music is pretty great in this actually. Feel bad for those who gave up on tutorial 😂
I'll say it to this day, Sonic and the secret rings had one of if not the best speed mechanics. Time and speed break will always be apart of my childhood.
This was actually the first sonic game I ever played
Some friends I knew had a Wii that broke and they gave their games away to us and this was one of them
That was nice of them

God, I had the music for Sand Oasis randomly pop in my head last week, and it wouldn't leave until I got here.
It was a call.

This game was soooo ahead of it's time... imagine this on a real controller
the levels could be ported to gens
Or just use dolphin
I get the feeling that Erazor Djinn reminds me of Jafar from Aladdin.and having Agrabah here in a sonic game well that just adds to the authenticity of it all.
I remember playing this game,and now this makes me want to play it again
You can play it on the dolphin emulator, I tried it, it’s pretty good
Especially that awesome ending.
"I told you. I'm not a RAT! I'm a HEDGEHOG!"
Sonic is so badass, I love him!
True fact, he is NOT a rodent, lol!
"Speed Break!" 2:20

and now, my thoughts on all the themes in the game
Tutorial area: Basic atmospheric music, but... kinda creepy not gonna lie.
Sand oasis: Upbeat and sets the tone of the game and its mechanics up perfectly. Don't stop, just go.
Poison spear: Sounds like something out of SMT/Persona and i love it.
Dino jungle: Repetitive, but still catchy.
Evil Foundry: C O B I F A N S R I S E U P !
Levitated Ruins: Probably my favorite level theme, despite it being a bad level. It's just... beautiful.
Pirate storm: Grungy and feels like you could die at any moment. Cool.
Blue on the run: Sounds like something out of scooby doo, okay?
How it started: Favorite boss theme, due to the sheer intensity and catchiness
Bone zo- i mean skeleton dome: Runner-up on favorite level theme, helped by some catchy lyrics.
Unawakening float: Bronze medal for best theme, due to the sense of finality.
Come to this: Worst boss theme, fight me. really repetitive, and while it sounds like a standoff, it doesn't fit for, you know, a fake-out final boss!
Seven rings in hand: The theme you hear throughout the whole game, and in typical pre-generations fashion, the context of the lyrics becomes so much more badass due to the events leading up to bootleg Hoopa's battle.

@@bigfat7z im betting my money on you
Best one liner ever:"I told you ,im not a rat. Im a heghog."
Imagine how much easier this game would be if you could light speed dash through clusters of rings
The wii remote actually vibrates at 5:53
That used to freaked me out as a kid like I thought my wiimote is coming to alive 😂
As clunky as this game was, I remember playing the hell out of it as a kid. Plus, the sound effect for picking up the flame orbs was so nice.
