This game is the black sheep of the kingdom Hearts series
More like the Blue Hedgehog of the Final Fantasy series, really really odd direction to go honestly.
The Dark Souls of the Spyro series?
Instead of a human boy, a worthless magic duck, and a talking dog with a shield, it's a blue hedgehog, a two-tailed fox, and a red Echidna.
Daddy revU How does it feel to be loved by Johnny?
I dunno, are you sure this is worse than Chain of Memories?
Actual in-depth review starts at 10:42
Fulken Thank you.
Why isn't this pinned?? o:
@MetroidFanatic it's just a review. what's so funny about that?
WWWWWWWIIIIIIIIIIIII

"There is no God!"
"I am the god of Hellfire!"
This game is so good, it gave Johnny two conflicting theological revelations.
I can't breathe right now from reading this lol
I think he meant By knuckles not being related to a diety in the game or something. I don't think seriously about his comments on God. But, who knows? 😒

It made me freak out as much as the Knuckles and Knuckles mode itself, ngl
I think Johnny likes this game.
I think so too!
What makes you say that?
Don't know, just a hunch. Could be wrong.
Justin Flaherty You might be on to something. Seriously, though, I lost my mind at the Oil Ocean zone bit. THAT is great attention to detail.
You mean "I think Johnny love this game"? I was acting like that when I first played Sonic Mania on release day for the PC.
I think he likes it.
(not sure though.)
I wasn't until the end of the review
DragonShit maybe he prefers 0'6?
Who would'nt like that "Game"? It had good music....
...yes...and good music. Super Sonic was in it too!
What makes say that?
...Nah...It wasn't clear at least.
Hearing Johnny geek out at the end makes my heart warm.
Kami Lee sure enough, that's trope from TV Tropes
Me too
Jejeue
That made my week just now!
Same here. His reactions matched mine, especially with what they did to Oil Ocean. That was my favorite level in Sonic 2.
"OK, yeah, he really liked it." -Caddicarus
*Okay
@@Disciple_JK Shut up, grammar Nazi
@@tastethepainbow Don't plan on it.
Was I the only one who found it really funny when Johnny fucking lost it at the end?
Damn nostalgia
NateP04 yeah they sure where
NateP04 oh yeah😑
I couldn't help but laugh, so no you're not the only one XD
Uzume OrangeHeart cool😊😁
One of my favorite parts of that was when Johnny found out you could set fire to the oil in Oil Ocean Zone and then shouted "I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE!"
Just like with Sonic Mania, I got like 95% of the references Johnny made in this video
Marcus Calixte Like the 2 knuckles and flicks army of death?
Strangely Unusual
Yep
And the "I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE" from that one Death Grips song
I was referencing Arthur Brown's "Fire". Check it.

*"Damn this is so good!"*
Apparently even Tails Doll loves this game because of how that sentence sounded.
I cant help but imagine Johnny saying that while eating a steak that is cooked right
Wheres the damn fourth chaos emerald
For a moment I genuinely thought you weren't insanely in love with this game like I expected you would be.
But then you threw in that ending and I was laughing out loud.
Pizza
I beat this game blind, it's amazing!
Too bad I couldn't see anything!
I haven't heard anybody make a blind joke before. How?
With all these redone levels from earlier games, you might as well call it by its real name:
Sonic 3CD & Knuckles & Knuckles
God yes
DaCableGuy You mean Sonic4CD
Don't forget &Knuckles.
Nipun Jayatunga I think you missed the joke lol. Johnny made a video back a few years called "end of month of sonic 2" I can't really explain it I will just say watch it and see for yourself.
DaCableGuy considering all the references, I'd rather calling it SonicCDGemsMegaCollection3TheFighters&KnucklesTrouble
"Jesus Christ, this game looks incredible! The color palette is so richer, so many frames of animations; Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles all look so great. Oh, it's great to see them like this again. Where's my Saturn release?! I'll buy 20! And the music; T, my man! Holy shit, this soundtrack is like my next cup of coffee laid with cocaine! All the remixes of the zones are top-notch, the music for the new zones are so *FUCKING GOOD*. Pressgarden Act 2, GODDAMN! I love this stage, it's so serene and the music... *ORGASM* The controls are perfect, not a Sonic 4 stop and go bullshit. I roll down hills and loops and I go faster and faster. There's actual flow in my movements. BLUE SPHERE! It's good seeing this come back! We have layouts returning from Sonic 3 and Knuckles; we got some brand new layouts. I fucking missed the perfect again for the 5th time, but I got plenty more chances in getting those medals, and the medals! I can unlock a soundtest and listen these songs like in Sonic CD, and Debug Mode is back. I can make stupid shit with rings and end stages early because *FUCK PUYO PUYO*! Knuckles and Knuckles, one's a benik, one's a Rastafarian. Is that the Death Egg Robot in Green Hill Zone?! *THERE IS NO GOD*. Holy shit, mom look, it's me who's riding the Eggomatic. EAT SHIT ROBOTNIK! I can use a flame shield in Oil Ocean! Oh my god, I can set the oil on fire! I've always wonder what would happen if you threw a match in this place since my old Sonic 2 review, and they answered that! They actually fucking answered that! *I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE!* Super Sonic, yeah! I can conformly grab all the emeralds and abuse this son of a bitch just like before! Also, I don't have to worry about the invincibility theme loop every 5 goddamn seconds! Seriously, that shit was the worse! Just don't transform near a spinning drum; Knuckles, what the fuck are you doing?! Tails, you too?! Is this a fucking trense? And where is your *FLICKY ARMY OF DEATH*? Sonic, cut that shit out! Yeah, I ran into a few collision issues here and there, but it rarely affected my total experience and maybe that too was a callback to Sonic CD on the Sega CD. Jesus, this game..."

Can some get the last part? My thumbs are stubs because of this.
Wow, you actually quote all of that.
Nicholas Kennedy I did, I listen a part, pause, and wrote it down on a piece of paper. The typing didn't take that long thanks to auto correct.
Nicholas Kennedy Also, thank you.
"It's a textbook example of nostalgic pandering but I don't fucking care, Sonic Mania is amazing and you should go fucking buy it, SHOW SEGA WHERE THE MONEY IS AND HOPEFULLY THEY'LL SERIOUSLY DO MORE ORIGINAL SHIT!

I never want to see another Blue Sphere stage again for the rest of my life...
and that's why I didn't try to go for the gold medals. Thank you, Ryan, for telling me about that during the brainscratch playthrough.
Wait- you!
You to Blue Sphere: "I'LL CRUSH YOU!!!"
"One's a beatnik, the other's a Rastafarian."And so, the progenitor of the legendary & Knuckles meme is gifted with an adaption his own old joke. Full circle, beautiful.
You reckon Johnny was the one who put the "& Knuckles" joke on the map?
K-leb
I think he probably had a big role in it- others had already made “& Knuckles” jokes, but as far as I’m aware he’s the first one to specifically use _”Knuckles_ & Knuckles.”
And tails where is your FLICKY ARMY OF DEATH
RIP flick army of DEATH
If they have hyper forms in the next Mania game, maybe the army will rise again
SERIOUSLY! That bugs the crap outta me. LIKE SERIOUSLY GUYS AAAAAA!!! Oh well.
Well the Flickies may only have appeared due to it being the Super Emeralds.
Jon Gon
Apparently they were going to have Hyper forms, but Iizuka refused, apparently declaring the Super Emeralds “gone,” if not non-canon altogether.
Aww, but I liked Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine... It's disappointing to hear so many people didn't like that part. :P
MCDarkVeil they made that boss so easy too. If you make simple matches youll win eventually
Mean Bean Machine is super fun
Yeah, it would have been nice if the Chemical Plant boss was harder, but at least we have Mean Bean Machine in the Extras, well, if you can endure enough Blue Sphere to unlock it. Then you can get your ass kicked with no chance of winning on level 5 mode just like the good old days.
I like it...when I'm not facing Robotnik...
MCDarkVeil I thought it was fun too

Listen to it at 0.5 speed. It sounds like a stoned Johnny, and I love it.
I lost my shit just as much as Johnny did, both at normal speed and 2x. xD
I think that Johnny had that cocaine-laced cup of coffee after all.
screw that play the full thing at x2
I love this review because Johnny is normally so laid back and we get a lot of that here, but seeing Johnny get super hyped about a game is pretty refreshing and hilarious to watch.
"Sora, Donald and Goofy....." Still in Kingdom Hearts mode, Johnny?
We will never get a kingdom hearts review from you twice in a row.

Somebody help, I can't stop watching that part, it's just so hillarious.
The true review of Sonic 3cd and knuckles knuckles
+NateP04 Do you think Johnny went bact to his couch to watch payperview tv and recollect the days when his games weren't so batshit crazy?
Knuckles 3 & Knuckles.

Dr. Knuckles and his army of Knuckles! But wait, who's this?!
it's the badass lone wolf Knuckles!
Can Knuckles finally defeat Knuckles with the aid of Knuckles & Knuckles?!
+NateP04 everything?
I posted a comment similar to this one and this has gotten more attention, WHAT THE ACTUAL FU--
NateP04 - Not entirely, but the 'Like' ratio is 63-1.
Sorry if I'm sounding a bit snobbish, but I just don't friggin' get it.
Dat flicky army of death callback. Nice one, Jon.
No, I didn't. where was that?
"One's a beatnik, one's a Rastafarian"
Oh, damn, I don't even remember that lol. It's been so long.
All the callbacks to his old stuff was great.
Don't forget the Sonic 2 review.
Does anyone else just have that ending rant on repeat for a while? Just me?
If you mean the nerdgasm, then I am still having aftershocks from my own. XD
10:43 Yeah, pretty much me when I got this as a birthday gift (Game launch: August 15. BDay: August 17, GREAT timing)
And when I got to Oil Ocean... OMFG DAT FLAME SHIELD THO!!!
WikidDreamer my birthday is aug 18th XD
I also got it on my birthday lol
Late reply here, but my birthday was the day before, August 14th. In fact Matt Manheimer (I hope that's how you spell it) who used to run Tails' Channel did a live stream the day before Mania came out to play all the classic games and also gave out codes for Mania when it came out. I unfortunately didn't get one and only watched the live stream for a little bit, but it was nice that he did that on my birthday!
Who else thought the video would be longer?
Because we all need a good fill of Johnny in our day today.
Honestly thought it was gonna be shorter, but I gotta wait till I get myself Sonic Mania!
Nana kyoto nah it falls in line withe rest of his 2d sonic reviews
Gotta go fast
Nana-Kyoto Well, my solution is to rewatch it... twice. Mostly for his outburst at the end. So funny.
Nana-Kyoto everyday you mean
During the Dr.Robotnik Mean Bean machine boss. Nostalgia literally hit me like a train and had tears of joy.
THIRST yeah that was pretty cool. But the bossfight was easy if you know how to play puyo puyo.
No'tjes Room
It's even easy if you don't. They shoulda made that boss like Robotnik in the original mean bean 😁
THIRST you mean "figuratively". If you had literally been hit, you would be splattered everywhere.
No, i dont want that awful Robotnik design in the awful american cartoons. If you see Mania got rid of that already. That Classic Sonic you see in the animation is his Japanese design.
You should play Puyo Puyo. Mean Bean is just a skin of that game with the American Sonic Cartoon characters. Puyo Puyo is the original game.
This entire time period was like "are we a little tired of nostalgic rehashes?" "yes, but we also want to see things done PROPERLY this time, so.. do it again til you get it right!" and man, they got some shit right.
Positives:
-Everything
Negatives:
-Super Tails
D12TRG why is super Tails a negative?
@@michaelrhett4958 No flicky army.
@@williamwhite2568 of death*
yeah but the flickies made two bosses impossible, so they're not worth it
Negatives only people who play the franchise will care about the references in there which is part of the experience
10:42 onwards - so, are you trying to say you like the game?
redhotsonic Didn't expect to see you here.
i think its *a little more than like*
redhotsonic That's an understatement.

I got Sonic Mania. I thought to myself "I finished all Genesis games just recently, how this will be able to impress mHOLLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME!!!"
This game is made with love, and you immediately feel it.
I liked Mania but I do wish it had more original zones
And Timetravel has gotten to the point of Over saturation for the series.
(I say OVER-SATURATION then realizin' its only been done like.....4-5 times? Heh.)
All the original zones they have are quite unique and amazing!
KelvinBelmont I'll bet that next game Mania team is going to make (its going to happen, mania is doing well), it will have more new levels.
It's all Takashi izuka fault
Huh, that was a pretty subdued revie-
oh god
calm down
Johnny calm down
CALM THE FUCK DOWN
AH FUCK I'M BUYIN THREE MORE COPIES
"Knuckles and Knuckles, one's a beatnik, one's a Rastafarian" I fucking loved that sonic 4 april fools reference
I know that Tee Lopes has a certain vibe with his music, but considering the game at hand...I feel like Johnny's intro song is most fitting for THIS review. THIS game. I don't know if anyone else will agree, but I love how Johnny even stuck that part of the opening Mania animation to it. So FITTING
Guys I think Johnny came down with a case of mania.
Pretty sure all the classicists have. The only known cure is to play more Sonic Mania.
Probably the best ending to a review ever.
yoshajumping He even had references from his classic sonic reviews
Really Entertaining!
Brandon Network Agreed.
Decided to look at this after the PC version finally came out and I have been completely blown away. It was hard avoiding those spoilers all over but damn it, it was so worth!
Bomberthegreat what spoilers in a sonic game I know you were probably surprised that Eggman was the bad guy oh NOOOOOOOOOOO smh bitch
Oh you know it isn't about the final boss or anything - it's about the zones both old and new and what the new gimmicks are and how everything has been recreated. Don't start acting like an ass now by assuming you know what I mean.
Stay_Fr0sty You got yo ass beated
Man, this game was spoiled rotten for me, and I still utterly looked forward to playing this. When I finally got my new computer, I downloaded this game the first chance I got, and I had so much fun playing this shit!
There was no spoiler that could ruin this game for me. That's how much I was looking forward to it. I got it day one for the PC, now I own it on my Nintendo switch!
SO F U C K I N G *G O O D*
11:29 So, any chances of reviewing Puyo Puyo Tetris?
i really really liked the mean bean machine boss and i actually revisited chemical plant just for that a couple times
Your icon fits your comment so well. XD
mathew edwards apparently. There's an unlockable mean bean machine mode you can play.
Kingdom hearts just gets crazier and crazier!
I can see why the timeline and story is really confusing.
Kingdom Hearts is not that interesting
Man, Johnny's overly excited rant at 10:43 had me laughing my butt off. I hope he plans to review Sonic Mania Plus soon.
Imagine mania having Johnny's worst enemy in it

Since Johnny brought up the callbacks, I may as well mention the fact that for the first time in the series, Knuckles actually uses his brain to ponder why the scene with the attempted Master Emerald theft seemed familiar, referencing when Eggman stole it in Sonic & Knuckles. At least in this game ol' Rad Red figured it out BEFORE the gem got swiped.
In Studiopolis Act 2, there's also a "Genesis Does..." text
j19 Aiden Almost every slogan that Sega has used is buried in Studiopolis.
Lock On was also there
I just found that one
There's a sign in Studiopolis which flashes "GOOD, GREAT, AWESOME, OUTSTANDING, AMAZING" from Sonic Colors
Ooh, Sega and their *tricks*
Eh? Eh?
So it is possible to be happy with Sonic Mania without crapping on the 3D Sonics? Quick somebody tell the Completionist.
Shots fired
M&K **Pulls out knife** what did you say? **Stabs before hearing the answer**
so many of us were astounded and confused at the love the 3D sonics were getting, think of this as a rebellion of sanity versus the insane newsonic fans

Dragonmaster XYZ oh u thought Sonic was never good huh
I never said or implied that...
he read the comment you posted in a alternate reality obviously.
Don't think it is going to be the same caliber. Sonic was always Johnny's favorite.

This is some weird kingdom hearts marathon...
Justinm8n It's like a road trip to Disney World, in which we stop for a whole day to look at one of the tourist traps.
To be fair, Birth by Sleep is like sonic adventure. No joke. We even get a final story segment with the resident blue playable character.
Look at the views on this compared to kingdom hearts. People wanted this!
Justinm8n The story gets more confusing
NamekuBushi actually sonic is golden in the final segment.
11:44 No you didn't Johnny, that was Elliott.😜
Looool Johnny wrote the script though
i think johnny has found the meaning of being happy

Sub_ZER0 PINGAS
You know that one clip in the spongebob movie when the customers screamed "bald" a bunch at Neptune...?
Well...
Lmaoooooo
I want to see an edit of that scene but with Johnny's Amibo face photoshopped onto Neptune's Face
The amount of unbridled and genuine joy in Johnny's voice when he realizes he can set the oil on fire with the flame shield in Oil Ocean can cure cancer.
Gonna be honest, my favorite part of this whole Damn video was just Johnny going on a fanboy rant
Also The sentence "Fuck Puyo Puyo" then followed immediately by "KNUCKLES AND KNUCKLES" I just died
The Real Part of the Review starts at 10:40
Sonic mania is the only game that has ever made me cry. The next chapter in my favorite games that formed many of my friendships. It was beautiful.
It's already been 4 years and that ending is still hilarious 😆
"One's a Beatnik and one's a Rastafarian" and "FLICKY ARMY OF DEATH". I think Johnny is having fun with callbacks of his own...
Well I just got a sonic mania ad before watching this. Coincidence I think not?
Dvir Arazi Well it depends on the person. However saying that it's significantly cheaper than the average game now that isn't some Chinese knock off that should burn in hell.
That's not what irony means. If the video was *bashing* Sonic Mania, that'd be ironic. But it's not, so it's just a coincidence.
Cirom Breeze Well I done fucked up didn't I. It doesn't mean I don't what coincidence means. Again I didn't read it back otherwise I can change it now.
...Uh... *Places hand on your shoulder* ...Bernie...
i cant wait for you guys doing a lets play of this game in brain scratch
bocodamondo If the PC version of Mania is moddable, then they should use Knuckles' "EGGMAN!" in Sonic's Adventure. You know the video.
R.A.W Fun fact; you know the cutscenes in Mania? I believe they were animated by the same guy who drew that comic, as well as the artist for the Sonic Mega Drive mini comic series from Archie
Silver Man Where can I find this... "Eggs Man?"
SparktheDog He's been following me all day...
of course i know, i follow tyson hesse on twitter, im surprised he barely shows any animations, because he is incredibly talented at that, i mean holy shit
10:40 This is what every Sonic fan have been waiting, count down in Three... Two... One...
I think this is the only good Sonic Mania review video on TH-cam I actually like.
Edit: The rest are just people bashing on 3D Sonic games and saying, "The Sonic Franchise had a rocky start when transition to 3D."
And it’s especially painful for someone like me, whose favorite game in the series is Sonic Colors (with Generations coming in a close second).
I mean they’re not wrong tho, though there are some good ones don’t get me wrong
Rightfully, Sonic should've stayed 2D.
@@ikagura I don’t think they could’ve gotten away with that like the Kirby series has (and even then, Kirby is finally going fully 3D in his latest game).
@@jaredargento1511 And I still think nothing will top SuperStar
Can Sonic adventure get the Sonic Mania treatment please sega!
Also please give me a new Jet Set Radio and Streets Of Rage!
Fuck Sonic Adventure, Streets of Rage takes immediate priority!
and jet set radio
Xavier Dennis So how many characters do you want? 1, 3, 6, 9 or 16
God I hope so.
I think Sonic Heroes could really benefit a Mania treatment. The game has multiple characters that play similar to each other so it doesn't feel like you're playing an entire different gameplay style. The levels look like a genesis game brought to 3d, and they wouldn't have to do much to fix the game: just make every team go through 3-4 minute stages, only have to complete one team & get the chaos emeralds to unlock the final story, and have the control akin to sa1 & sa2 sonic.
*FLICKY ARMY OF DEATH*
lmao at the ending part xD
Jonathon Gillis I like it when he shoves the collector's edition box at the camera
1:51 I've come from the future. The new Sonic collection, Sonic Origins, will have the remastered versions.
Heck, the 3 & Knuckles remaster in that collection is even being worked on by Simon Thomley!
Wanna know why this review Is better than every other? Because this one doesn't spend half the time whining about how "bad" 3D Sonic is.
King-K9 Seriously I'm like "Can any reviewer just review the damn game without bringing up how "terrible" 3D Sonic is even though we got a good 3D Sonic game about 6 years ago?"
King-K9 Exactly.
I'M SO GLAD ABOUT THIS I'm so sick of people circlejerking themselves talking about how "bad" the 3D Sonic games
I pretty much agree lol 3d sonic hasn't been all bad, most 3d sonics to me are usually go from good to average, generations, colors, adventure titles, sonic unleashed to a extent are all decent games with generations and colors be actually very good in my opinion. Kinda sad how everyone basically says 3d sonic is "horrid and needs to die" when their have been some good games in the past but idk just my opinion.
Sonic Heroes, Generations and Colors weren't THAT bad...
Easily one of my favorite reviews of yours, Johnny. We have a similar history of Sonic, with our ages syncing up closey, and my wife and are still sticky from our collective nostalgiagasam. I loved every fucking frame of this game! Dear God, please send us a sequel?
TheIceAnt hopefully in two years. because nostalgic pandering works only so often
Xenomon I'm fine with that, I can play this game for 2 years fine, I just hope all stages are new or are from Mania but changed completely like say marage saloon Zone got completely made into a city with some dessert parts left or Studiopolis got completely destroyed or caught all on fire and turned into ashes in Act 2 and abandoned with the same enemies just more broken and a different fighting way because how they are broken, example the microphones that electrocute you only electrocute from one angle or have wires that they electrocute that are scattered.
God, the intro music by the legendary Tee Lopes just makes this perfect.
Loved all the subtle callbacks to your Sonic reviews, Johnny! Makes a longtime fan of your work feel all warm inside.
Here we......GO!

As someone who's only beaten Sonic 2, and never gotten far in 1 or 3, never playing CD... I think one of the many compliments I can give Mania is that I have a hard time telling which stages are new or old. It all flows together so well, my non-nostalgic perspective is totally fooled.
Good review, and your enthusiasm is contagious. Let's all enjoy Sonic Mania together.
I've heard that before. That really says something about the level designers.
Kite Darkside so only really like one stage is old to you (except Angel Island but it's only in a cutscene so it doesn't count)but even Chemical Plant Zone is almost completely different and is one of the best stages because of the speed you gain and less drowning bits.
I actually saw Johnny's first review of Sonic 2 and that crack about "What would happen if a lit match ever fell into Oil Ocean Zone?" was pretty funny. I'm as shocked as anyone who've wondered that in regards to the fact that the question was ACTUALLY ANSWERED. Something tells me those who developed Sonic Mania either saw said review or have wondered themselves what would happen.
Well, Johnny’s name is in the manual that came with pre-orders, so…
To me, this is the real Sonic 4
Amen. Never had the biggest affinity for the Sonic Adventures Duology or Heroes, but it's the perfect time for those gameplay styles to receive the Sonic Mania treatment to please fans of thse games.
I haven't seen this video yet and I know he's gonna praise the hell out of this
edit: Jesus. Christ.
Do you know how long i have been waiting for this review... Too long
I kept expecting this after Johnny said he would do it at the end of KH2.
It has been only 4 days since Sonic Mania released, dude.
Hamlock do you know how many hours are in 4 DAYS o.0
Its the 29th and I finally, finally watched this son of a bitch after completing it once on the PC edition. Am I happy? I am so bloody happy right now that I managed to avoid spoilers these past 2 weeks! xD
Menchi's Menagerie DRM?
Menchi's Menagerie no spoilers what spoilers?
Boss fights, level schemas, simple things in life that are great to enjoy for a first time through!
Love this review. I've come back to watch the ending of it where Johnny nerds out to the extreme so many times. It's great.
Nice review Johnny, but you forgot that there was also another person that worked on the music. The name Hyper Potions. And he made the music for the opening of the game. He's on youtube so anyone should check out his stuff.
11:27 I'm I the only one who noticed the Johnny vs logo made of rings?
jnrds98 ohhhhhhh.... lol I didn't know what that was at first
jnrds98 No. I noticed it too.
jnrds98 I did.
i sometimes love youtube so much, i tried watching this video a week or so ago, listened to your advice, paused and exited the video, now i've played the game and finished it multiple times (its sooo gooood!) and now i clicked back to watch the rest, and the video started at the exact moment i pressed pause the first time... its like... everything is in the universe is pointing towards mania being insanely awesome
fuckin hell im crying over the end xD
This video was a nostalgic acid-trip in of it itself. The callbacks to your old videos are soooo gooddd.
