@ailaxl I Know, Right! I LOVE things like the Level Cutscenes/Transitions, The Badnik Designs, the Zone Visuals, Turbo's Introduction & ESPECIALLY the Attention to Detail for the Front Crowd in Luminoucity's Bossfight! Just like Sonic & the Fallen Star (& Mania), it genuinely feels like what a 2D Sonic Game would be like for the SEGA Saturn!
This is a fangame?????????? I adore these sprites, and that special stage is better than any special stage I've seen in actual Sonic games. Hells bells, I'm legitimately blown away
This is like the love child of the Sonic Advance games, mixed with a touch of 32X, and a bit of CD/Saturn. Plus, the music is somewhere between classic 90's Sonic music with elements of Japanese City Pop (especially the ring level). All that to say: "YOU WANT HOW MUCH AWESOME?!" Yes.
This has so much style swag and 90's essence and the quality is freakishly good. Sega needs to make this a thing 31:58 that robot alone had so much of that MJ Jaleel White 90's hip hop Sonic vibe that I feel has been missing from the series and the current movies for so long. Brilliant work.
Holy crapppp Sega and Sonic Team need to be taking BIG notes from you guys work you absolutely NAILED everything that makes a sonic game! and added your own flair... and the music whatt?
Just finished the entirety of Demo 2 after downloading it, and it is THE BEST SONIC FANGAME OF ALL TIME (in my opinion)! My only complaint is the Bonus Stage controls being a bit too slippery, unlike Special Stage controls.
Something Scott Cawthon attempted to do was allow the fan community to develop games under a license that had the possibility of getting picked up and published. I feel like this is something more developers should explore. I have seen some fantastic fan projects by Sonic fans over the years and I think that Sega embracing the fan community could lead to some great things.
I gotta comment again.. I downloaded the game thought I’d play the tutorial first and was taken away by the music. YOU GUYS DID AMAZING! Plenty of care went into this. I love it.
Beautiful. I love the colour schemes especially on the first level and at the very end after the arena battle. When I saw Ristar in the crowd I just had to see if Opa Opa was there too and I couldn't believe it when he was. Ristar and Fantasy Zone are my favourite non-Sonic Sega games so I was so joyed to see their surprise cameos.
What an amazing game! I hope Sega acknowledges the work thats put on and work with the team. I was frustrated when Bombergames made the ultimate Streets of Rage volume 5 with Great tracks and strong replay value that took them years to complete. Personally i would’ve consider that the real Streets of Rage 4 before Sega released their version. Unfortunately Sega took them down and ignored the fact that everyone who knew and played really wanted this to be out there. If Sega follows up with this team and learn from their past mistakes, I hope the team somehow follows up with Bombergames because having Sonic games and Streets of Rage this good can definitely revive Sega.
according to the characters page on the website, he's purely in it for revenge against eggman and potential profit. i like the idea of fang as someone who can play either role depending on what suits his goals, personally
This right here is a dream come true. Add Tails in as a coop playable character and I am 1000% sold on this. I would gladly pay money for this, and if Sega doesn't pick these guys up and make it the real do, and leave them the freedom to do what they want. They would be fools not to. This is the best sonic I have seen in ages. SEGA! Get with these folks and make this happen.
Everyone in the comments are talking about Metal Sonic appearance in "THE EGG ROCKSTAR" boss fight but no one's going to mention Honey the Cat being on the Egg Bots side and is clearly rooting for "THE EGG ROCKSTAR"?
Sparkster from Rocket Knight Adventures, NiGHTS from Nights into Dreams, I assume the one behind Ristar. Along with slew of other animated Sega game characters in cameo background of that arena. Fantastic Sprite work.
Chiming in here to say this game fucking rules. It's gorgeously animated, beautifully scored, the world-building is wonderful, and the directing is clever as hell. 10/10 just as good--and in my opinion, better--than anything we got back in the 90s. Stellar stuff.
I love how the special stage takes some inspiration from basically every classic sonic game Mania's third person view paired with sonic 2 style ring goals, CD's UFOs brought together with a unique setup Plus the small scale level design of the bonus stages is reminiscent of CD mixed with monkeyball looking controlls This game is so polished 😭
The word that best defines this project is BRILLIANT. Graphics (animations, colors, game feel...) created with great love, Ristar even appears as public (Another SEGA character who had his own game). If SEGA doesn't hire them, or buy the project, they could even create their own little indie studio.
That first water act kinda overstayed its welcome but otherwise this looks pretty good, they're doing some really neat things that make sense(the upwards wall dash seems really fun to use, any and all bubbles giving you air so you don't run out). The complete version of this is probably going to be amazing
This looks beautiful. Sega should take a look at this and make it official. I'm still waiting for a new official classic Sonic game like Sonic Mania but with all new stages, not reimagination of the old ones.
Wow, this looks fantastic. Really like the dash mechanics I'm seeing to keep the speed up. Sprite work and animations are excellent too, the only one that looks a little off is full sprint Sonic. Will dl soon
In the first Stage I think I see a combination of the first level of Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Sonic and Knuckles... Amazing job... it feels both Nostalgic and New
Very well done guys!! I love it. These kind of fan games always make me think the same... how much you suck Sonic team!! Such an Star franchise like Sonic deserve something else than what it actually has. Edit: That Spin dash for the walls is CINEMA. Really cool addition though.
This could easily pass as a Sonic 4 on the mega drive. I would love to see a full version of this game in the same vein as Sonic Mania 👌 well done all involved 👍
34:45 I think my FAVORITE Cameo here is easily the Genesis Unit (Buster Rod: Gokū, Hyper Storm: Hakkai & Mega Water: Sa) from 1994's Rockman: Mega World or (in North America & Europe) Mega Man: The Wily Wars! Oh, and if you didn't know, They are obviously the "Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie & Sha Wujing" of Rockman's Universe! Aka, the Main Characters from the 1592 Chinese Novel, Xiyouji!
My take not like it means anything. I liked: Zone 3 feel like a Sonic game, the music the art style and feel is Sonic and it's great. A take on Studiopolis from Sonic Mania with it's own unique feel, enemies. Bonus Stage is great it's a unique spin on something that really does look like it belongs in a sonic game. Bosses are great they all look like they belong in a Sonic game. I didn't like (I won't say bad as that's subjective): The first and second zone feel like Sonic, the art direction felt like it belonged in a Sonic advanced game, nor did I care for the OST's in these zones. They didn't capture that 90's charm that Sonic OST's brings to the table. I feel like Sonic has gone beyond water levels where they are super slow, we got over that in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The special stage looked like like a Doom mod (or one of those early prototype 3D Sonic games on the Saturn) crossed with Sonic 3D Blast bonus stages of collecting rings. Keep up the good work.
annoys me when fangames mimicking console specs/games end up as a PC-exclusive but this is amazingly done. Good mix of Sonic 3 and Sonic Mania style, as if it were a legitimate sequel
The Sonic Team needs to take this Fangame and actually make it a reality. Add some more levels and release it for the Nintendo Switch because this is a thing of Beauty
The fact that this is a fan game is mind blowing, well done to everyone who worked on this project
Such a chronically online thing to say 😒🤮
(word vomit)
@Gir-Riff-raffle Care to explain what you mean by that?
I honestly think Sega needs to hire you guys for some new retro esque style games. Loving what I see and hear. Great job
I know right? However, Sega won’t. The CEO just said they’re not a retro company 😢
Classic Sonic remains undefeated, and always will be.
I need a PC so I can play stuff like this!
You can play on MAC, and there is Win32 emulators for Android. I suppose there is something for an iPhone
These recent "what if 2d sonic on saturn?" style games have been looking GOOD

We’re building a history that never was
@CrackerNDaisyAnimations maybe its right that it never was, considering how fast 2d games were becoming irrelevant
@@ManstamThe Saturn has way more 2D bangers than 3D. It is more of a 2D powerhouse than 3D.

MY BF WORKED ON THISSSSSSSSSS
Tell him he did a awesome job in helping create this game, it looks really high quality.
Sonic mania level of quality.
Tell him to hit Sega up RIGHT NOW. This is 🔥
You better love him because he’s a chad for this
Big ups to your boyfriend!
Tell him I’m stealing all his talent
With how Metal Sonic was watching Sonic during The Egg Rockstar fight, I was surprised he didn't swoop in at any time even while Sonic was leaving.
I like to think that he WANTED to, but it was his and the Eggrobos' night off, and he had to respect that.
I love that detail of just how menacing Metal Sonic looks even when just being in the audience with his bright red eyes
This has so much style swag and 90's essence and the quality is freakishly good. Sega needs to make this a thing 31:58 that robot alone had so much of that MJ Jaleel White 90's hip hop Sonic vibe that I feel has been missing from the series and the current movies for so long. Brilliant work.
35:48 I nearly cried seeing Sparkster and Ristar in the crowd. Good to see em" after all these years!
@@Alastorchaos also the genius unit from the wily wars
Know exactly what you mean, felt the same way seeing Nights in the crowd.
The original rabbit design for Sonic is there too
The original rabbit design for Sonic is there too
Holy crapppp Sega and Sonic Team need to be taking BIG notes from you guys work you absolutely NAILED everything that makes a sonic game! and added your own flair... and the music whatt?
I didn't even know Demo 2 came out this quick. All I know is that I'M DOWNLOADING THIS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, THIS IS AWESOME!
Just finished the entirety of Demo 2 after downloading it, and it is THE BEST SONIC FANGAME OF ALL TIME (in my opinion)! My only complaint is the Bonus Stage controls being a bit too slippery, unlike Special Stage controls.
This is so well made and full of details, I'm very curious about the next levels!
Something Scott Cawthon attempted to do was allow the fan community to develop games under a license that had the possibility of getting picked up and published. I feel like this is something more developers should explore. I have seen some fantastic fan projects by Sonic fans over the years and I think that Sega embracing the fan community could lead to some great things.
Everything just looks WONDERFULL, anxiously waiting for the complete game!
I wish everyone in the project GREAT SUCCESS
dude, these guys are basically making mania 2. this is so good.
I would kill to play this full game. Looks absolutely fantastic
I love that the Genesis Unit was just part of the crowd, that was amazing. The whole demo is too.
such a good truthful artwork. feels like a modernised continuation of the classic official artwork. well done! very satisfying look!
I gotta comment again.. I downloaded the game thought I’d play the tutorial first and was taken away by the music. YOU GUYS DID AMAZING! Plenty of care went into this. I love it.
This looks absolutely amazing! Those special stages and the character animation, chef's kiss!
SEGA needs to hire these people to work on a sequel to Sonic Mania. This spritework, music and gameplay are absolutely mesmerizing.
Beautiful. I love the colour schemes especially on the first level and at the very end after the arena battle. When I saw Ristar in the crowd I just had to see if Opa Opa was there too and I couldn't believe it when he was. Ristar and Fantasy Zone are my favourite non-Sonic Sega games so I was so joyed to see their surprise cameos.
34:45
Loving the references. NiGHTS, Ristar, Sparkster, Arale, and the Wily Wars Robot Masters.
@infinity_phantomile Also Opa-Opa (Fantasy Zone), Tempo (Tempo 32X & Super Tempo) & Honey the Cat (Sonic the Fighters & Archie Sonic)!
And Havoc from High Seas Havoc
Don't forget about nights and puyo puyo

Nice to see Fang on the hero side for once, Maybe after Superstars he decides to help for a while.

Well, Honey was at one point meant to be one of Sonic's Rivals in Sonic The Fighters.
Not only that but Nights. Some great cameos.
Impressive. All I expected as a modern game of Sonic in 2D. I'd pay high to acquire games like that.
Congratulations, you've made a masterpiece.
This game was made with hard work and a lot of love, dude! Amazing.
I love the coral garden act 2 music, also it looks really good
Sparkster from Rocket Knight Adventures, NiGHTS from Nights into Dreams, I assume the one behind Ristar.
Along with slew of other animated Sega game characters in cameo background of that arena.
Fantastic Sprite work.
This is incredible. Bosses are so creative. Levels are huge. Love it.
Wowsers! This looks sooo polished! Absolutely incredible 🤩well done to all involved!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
looking forward to giving this a go!
32:17 i love the knuckles chaotix secret amy reference
Attention to detail: I love how Metal Sonic just glares him down from the audience. XD And follows him as he runs past.
The best part is that on the miniboss Metal Sonic is just there watching
Now this is how you make a modern retro game! I love everything about this, especially the graphics. Spot on.
Fuck this is incredible. Keep going. Please. My god what a vibe. Couldn't nail it harder.
I've been waiting for this, and it was worth it, this fan game is amazing!
Sega needs to hire these people NOW
Just started this demo and it is SO fun to play. Loving everything about this. Hope development continues. Amazing work team 🎉
Well damn, this looks amazing as hell! 🤩
Nice to see Knack the Weasel make an appearance. The crab and guitar robot bosses are amazing, I don't know how this was made, but it's amazing work.
That bonus stage music is so good
OH MY GOSH IT'S BACK! It looks suuuuper good :DDD
This is amazing. You guys deserve it.
This looks and sounds amazing, loving the bonus level music.
In another world, Fang/Nack would be chilling with Sonic Team for sure.
Chiming in here to say this game fucking rules. It's gorgeously animated, beautifully scored, the world-building is wonderful, and the directing is clever as hell. 10/10 just as good--and in my opinion, better--than anything we got back in the 90s. Stellar stuff.

Sega hire these people NOW
That looks fucking amazing.
22:03 the sonic 3&k barrel
Man do i LOVE Sonic superfans! This is the kind of creativity that keeps my imagination going.
I love how the special stage takes some inspiration from basically every classic sonic game
Mania's third person view paired with sonic 2 style ring goals, CD's UFOs brought together with a unique setup
Plus the small scale level design of the bonus stages is reminiscent of CD mixed with monkeyball looking controlls

If SEGA doesn't hire them, or buy the project, they could even create their own little indie studio.
The first 2 stages were really cool and detailed, but the 3rd was just incredible! That's where it was kicked up a notch.
You can drop dash up walls now? That’s so cool and honestly very innovative! Gives sonic more ways to move upwards!
That first water act kinda overstayed its welcome but otherwise this looks pretty good, they're doing some really neat things that make sense(the upwards wall dash seems really fun to use, any and all bubbles giving you air so you don't run out).

Waited TOO long for this
This is so beatiful 😢 i love this fangame
you know darn well SEGA is going to give this game their blessing.
absolutely gorgeous stages and music
Excellent Work !!!! This is exactly what Sonic Fans want
Look great and the special zone looks incredible
If you would have told the 10 year old me that one day fans could build this I would have believed you! This is amazing
Wow, this looks fantastic. Really like the dash mechanics I'm seeing to keep the speed up. Sprite work and animations are excellent too, the only one that looks a little off is full sprint Sonic. Will dl soon
Cant wait for the games release =)
The cool, sweet and catchy shop is a reference to Knuckles' Chaotix
In the first Stage I think I see a combination of the first level of Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Sonic and Knuckles... Amazing job... it feels both Nostalgic and New
I see Sparkster, Honey, Nights, Ristar, the Genesis Unit from MegaMan and others among the crowd in Luminoucity Zone boss.
I knew that one of those characters looked like MM characters
Also don't forget Tempo the (bee?) from the obscure 32X game of the same name
@ Oh, I forgot that character existed, I played his game one time.
Very well done guys!! I love it. These kind of fan games always make me think the same... how much you suck Sonic team!! Such an Star franchise like Sonic deserve something else than what it actually has.
Edit: That Spin dash for the walls is CINEMA. Really cool addition though.
This could easily pass as a Sonic 4 on the mega drive. I would love to see a full version of this game in the same vein as Sonic Mania 👌 well done all involved 👍
The music on this is spot on
SEGA and Team Sonic should take notes on this.
Gotta say I’m VERY Impressed I’d own this!
That Special Stage reminds me of 3D Worldrunner. Lol. Not a bad thing. I loved that game.
Wow! What a nice job! Amazing
Man, this fan game have some of the best looking stages I've ever seen in a Sonic fangame.
I see Ristar and Metal Sonic in the concert plus some other nice looking easter eggs!!
34:45 I think my FAVORITE Cameo here is easily the Genesis Unit (Buster Rod: Gokū, Hyper Storm: Hakkai & Mega Water: Sa) from 1994's Rockman: Mega World or (in North America & Europe) Mega Man: The Wily Wars!
Oh, and if you didn't know, They are obviously the "Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie & Sha Wujing" of Rockman's Universe! Aka, the Main Characters from the 1592 Chinese Novel, Xiyouji!
Ristar is in there, favorite game i played as a kid on my genesis
Sega could never 🤯
The arts are wonderful!
looks awesome, i would definitely like to play this
My take not like it means anything.
I liked:
Zone 3 feel like a Sonic game, the music the art style and feel is Sonic and it's great. A take on Studiopolis from Sonic Mania with it's own unique feel, enemies.
Bonus Stage is great it's a unique spin on something that really does look like it belongs in a sonic game.

This should be the next Sonic the Hedgehog 4 for sure great, original and creative
This is beautiful, Sega should hire you like they did with Christian Whitehead for Sonic Mania

31:58 im hoping this can be a unlockable character
Good job team, the game is impressive! 👏👏👏
If Sonic Superstars was Sonic 4, this must be Sonic 5.
Sonic 5 is Mania Superstars is triple trouble 2
@sahelebrahimal-wasti4829 so this must be triple trouble 3
technically is Superstars is Sonic & Tails 3 in japan if superstars released this way
