    This installment features gameplay similar to previous games in the series, but changes things by introducing a team-based mechanic, in which the player must utilize the abilities of multiple characters to make it through a stage. The player, however, does not control their partners directly. Every character has a unique ability, such as Espio's ability to stick to walls and Charmy's flight. The plot of this game sees the return of Metal Sonic, who constantly thwarts the heroes until the game's final act, in which Metal Sonic even usurps the Dr. himself as the final boss when he transforms into a giant monster.
    All-in-all, I find Sonic Heroes to be a very enjoyable game.

      satan 666 you would hope that Sonic Heroes isn't as flawed as Chaotix. Its the 2nd attempt at a similar idea. Making a Sonic game in 3D is ultimately what fucked Sonic Team over

    20:25 About the colours, in Japan there is a design theroy known as 《実花美学》, which means the beauty knowledge of solid flower, that involves uses of colourful visual elements, created by Mika Ninagawa (蜷川 実花), a Japanese photographer and director, known for her brightly coloured photographs of flowers, goldfish, and landscapes; the team who made this game could be under influence of her style I guess.

      It was going to be on the Gems Collection for the PS2 and GameCube, but I guess that they couldn't emulate the 32X correctly. To be fair to Sega, Mega Drive and Mega CD emulation was considerably easier than the 32X for whatever reason.

    • @deadturret4049
      @deadturret4049 6 ปีที่แล้ว +63

      Aleisis probably has to do with the fact the sega cd was still technically 16 bit so half of the code was prolly just pulled from the genesis emulator. 32X is a bit of weird beast.

      Actually Sega's stance is that Knuckles Chaotix has been unpersoned. The Chaotix from Sonic Heroes and Mighty from Sonic Jam are the official first appearances of the characters according to Sega. In fact outside of the Classic genesis games and Sonic CD the only 16 bit era game that Sega hasn't unpersoned is SegaSonic and that's mostly due to Whitehead studios.

    The Dizzy Sprites might have actually been used for an unused death animation, in Sonic Crackers there are a set of spikes on the roof and if you jump into them in the right way you will trigger the dizzy animation and since you cannot collect any rings in Sonic Crackers its pretty safe to say that they are death animations

    Did anyone else realize that the bad and good endings are basically backwards? The good ending usually goes into some amount of detail, while the bad ending is usually "here're the collectible macguffins, here's your enemy with them, try again and get them back", whereas here, the _bad_ ending goes into (some implicit) detail and the _good_ ending is just the collectibles and cameos from characters.

  • @CarlytheWolf23
    @CarlytheWolf23 5 ปีที่แล้ว +80

    Say I just came to the realization after watching the video that well since there is no life machanic so maybe those dizzy/knocked out sprites were originally going to be what happens when you die, you just get knocked out for a short period of time, especially since the character seems to respawn after dying in the game. I honestly wish they would of kept those in the finished product cause it would have been a nice touch and would make more sense than just suddenly jumping back in after disappearing and it would also be different than most other games at the time.

Doing so also cut down on slowdown, which an unfortunate amount of 32x games suffer from due to the fact that the 32x processes everything in software mode. No dedicated hardware such as VDPs... :(

    I'm going to explain why I love this game in as few words as possible:
    -It is the only post trilogy game with superior tech to the Genesis/Mega Drive that allows you to get a glimpse as to what Sonic could have looked like on the Saturn before Mania existed. The art and sprites are beautiful and big. The color coordination is especially good. Very bright and purposefully exploding with color with black accents. And the levels have a lot of weight and scope to them. You can see the dome over the green house in Botanical Garden, which inspired Press Garden in Sonic Mania, for example. And there are little cutscenes before the bosses that briefly allow you to see the stage from a different perspective.
    I had a hoot playing it with my brother when we bought it at a flea market and hooked it all up once the system was already old and forgotten. It was great.

    Throughout the book, different consoles are profiled and there is usually a galley of screenshots from games with their respective titles.
    I distinctly remember that there was a screen shot from "Sonic the Hedgehog 4" and it stuck out to me because I had never heard of it before.
    I wasn't a Sega kid, but every Sega kid I asked about it had never heard about it.

    Marina Madness could have had water that raised and lowered when you hit the buttons on the boats, and air bubbles.
    I think the battle against Metal Sonic Kai was originally gonna be fought by Super Sonic, and could only be accessed if you got all the Chaos Rings. The way the Metal Sonic Kai boss is done, it could have worked well. This would also mean that you would likely only fight Metal Sonic Kai if you got the Chaos Rings. If you beat Metal Sonic's main battle without the Chaos Rings, it would make more sense to not get to fight Metal Sonic Kai without them, but since he still becomes Metal Sonic Kai, and because you are powerless to stop him, you get to witness the bad ending.
    If you look at the fact that the Heavy and Bomb statues use orangish gold and blue palettes, and there is two of them...
    I think it was originally planned if you beat the game with all the Chaos Rings, you would "rescue" Sonic and Tails (hence why they don't appear in the game), and if you chose to start a file over, you could now pick them at the beginning of each game, and one of the Heavy and Bomb statues would be replaced with Sonic and Tails statues.
    Also, I think those "drunk" sprites are meant to be death/KO animations. The weird "blackout" when you get knocked out goes perfect with them.

What else?? I think that is all. This game deserves the remake treatment, it has SOOO much wasted potential.

  • @RednekGamurz

    Man, Chaotix is so fun once you get used to the ring mechanic and level design. It's not a hard game, but it's fun as hell to try to blast through the levels as quickly as possible, plus the random stage order mixed with the day/night system gives the game a new flavor on each playthrough. The special stages are also some of my favorites in the entire series, and the music/aesthetics are fucking great. I can understand why people wouldn't like this game, though. The ring mechanic can be annoying at times, and playing through the game casually is a fucking cakewalk.

    • @Cybershell13
      @Cybershell13  7 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      I do really like the special stages, day/night system, and music, but I don't really enjoy blasting through the levels because they're so boring to me. Just too big and barren with nothing really challenging in your way, not to mention I tend to get lost a lot which is extremely tedious. I do bet that if you really enjoyed this game and bothered to really learn the mechanics it could be kind of fun. If you play it enough to sort of memorize the general location of the exits to every level, as well as really get a good grasp on the rubber band mechanic, it might be fun to go through the levels as fast as you can without having to worry about getting lost. It seems like it might be a fun game to speedrun actually. Oh actually it turns out it's not even fun to speedrun because the optimal way to consistently clear levels at top speed is to just fly through them as Charmy, which requires absolutely no mastery over the main mechanic of the game at all. Oh well.

  • @EdwardTheCat
    @EdwardTheCat 7 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    It's only understandable that Chaotix is not a perfect game - Sonic Team always had project completing issues since Sonic 2.
    But Knuckles Chaotix was fundamentally based as a CO-OP GAME in order to fix the traditional co-op between Tails & Sonic in past games, since the co-op was really shitty and couldn't allow the second player to participate enough with the main player. That's why Sonic Crackers began, and then ended as Chaotix. (An yes, the journey of co-op experimental still continued in Sonic Advance 3 and Sonic 4.2)
    The main flaws of this game that i can actually agree are the Robots and the Endings. The enemies rarely are a threat and most of them are aerial since the game has so much vertical space, and you have almost no time to react to them when you are going too fast. The endings are also not that good, but the bad ending just starts without explanation, unless you've read the manual about your main objective of collecting the Chaos Rings.
    The Levels are just ok, but not "OMG". They are much maze-based stages with some gimmicks, but if they were designed like traditional Sonic Levels they would be too short and easy to beat, since Chaotix characters are basically brokenly OP (Vector is Sonic + Knuckles for god sake). And for the Difficulty system that keeps growing and the Day/Night System, THAT's why each zone has 5 FUCKING ACTS. But i also agree that should have been a variety of 7 Zones.
    Knuckles' Chaotix is not actually a shitty game, is just "so-so". Just a few people actually played this game, and many others "just heard about it" even nowdays. I find it more enjoyable than Sonic 1 and 2, but not good enough as Sonic CD or Sonic 3&K. But heck yeah, it has the best Special Stage ever.

    Sonic CD and Knuckles Chaotix are actually my favorite Sonic side scrollers. They're also the only ones I ever bothered actually getting the good ending in because their special stages are actually fun rather than frustrating. The Sonic CD one should've started you with more time though. Also I love the rubber band mechanic. It's so much fun to play around with. I only wish they'd found more fun things to do with it.

    You nailed it on the head at the 22:18 mark - the team that made Sonic CD immediately went on to make Knuckles' Chaotix. It was the members of Sonic Team who remained in Japan. (Meanwhile, the members of Sonic Team who moved to the U.S. worked with the Americans at Sega Technical Institute to make Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles - that's why those games feel different.)

      Many, many people love to use emotional attachment or "enjoyment" as an excuse to call their game "good", despite it likely being ok, very ok or mediocre, as that game they protect so fondly is their -only reason to live- favorite game.

    I'll be honest… Knuckles' Chaotix is _still_ my favorite Sonic game… despite having not played it in well over a decade (damned Genesis and 32X stopped working ages ago). I just had so much fun with the rubber band mechanic, running along walls and ceilings with Espio, the power ups (glad to hear they're bringing back the Combine Ring), LOVED the music ("Door Into Summer" is Heaven), the boss fights with their own cutscenes prefacing them…
    …honestly the only thing I never liked was this "sound room" boss in one of the attractions that would fly around almost out of reach; only time I ever liked playing as Charmy since he could easily fly up and smash through it (and apparently playing as him with Heavy was supposed to be an "easier" means of blasting through badniks).
    I really hope this game gets a re-release someday (unless it already has?), otherwise I suppose I'd have to get a 32X Rom of some sort… or try and find my actual 32X and Genesis and try and repair them; either way this game made purchasing the 32X worth it (though the system did introduce me to _DOOM,_ so there's that).

      Did you clean the game contacts? 32x hardware is finicky but _so_ frequently, a cart based system's problem is just that the contacts oxidixed. Clean them with Rubbing Alcohol on a Q TIp and most of the time, it's OK. I still have a few carts that don't play after cleaning but they're uncommon.

    In Sonic Heroes, there's boss battles against other teams. There's also Team Chaotix in there, and if You play as Team Sonic, which includes Knuckles, you don't get to fight Team Chaotix because this is Knuckles' old crew and killing them would be kind of weird for Knuckles. So I feel like this pretty much confirms it.

    • @bigcraudio3066

      Calm down dude, you don't kill the other team, you just kick their asses and move on to the next stage. Unless you think that amy wants to date sonic so bad that she murders him from rejecting her too much.
      But besides that, it was probably due to limitations of the game itself, since every team only fights two other teams. And tbh, it would've been kinda cool to face the chaotix as team sonic just to see their interactions.
