Sonic Chronicles was supposed to be an entire side-franchise but thanks to some legal troubles with the myth himself Ken Penders they had to scrap the entire idea. Not for legal reasons - they just couldn't be bothered with Ken anymore so threw the idea out. Ken tried to claim the Nocturnus Clan were a ripoff of his Echidna storylines during his time at Archie Comics.
@@nman551 I'm all for the Ken Pender's hate, but the idea of an evil Echidna tribe with hyper advanced technology that were banished to another dimension was done by Penders first. Add onto that that the one character who betrays said tribe is a female Echidna whom was planned to be a romantic partner for Knuckles in the sequel and the inspiration becomes fairly obvious.
So one thing about sonic chronicles second half is the sudden increase in names from greek characters. One of these, and probably the cause of it all is the tentacle monster in the jump cut flashback that ix starts at the end of the game that brings nocturne and all echidnas into the twilight cage. The tentacle monster is named Argus, a Greek tentacled character in Greek myth. Why was he named this? Because he defeats the mother of all monsters, which is called: Echidna
Can't believe Alpharad doesn't know that Scylla and Charybdis are a reference to the classic Greek epic the Odyssey by Homer Simpson, he better brush up on his ancient mythology if he wants to really appreciate this 500 IQ Sonic lore SMH my head
I love how this game has dozens of small things that it’s done not just right, but amazingly right. And then it has like 4 huge things that it’s completely dropped the ball on.
I waited so long for the sequel that I forgot about it, only to remember years later, and looked it up to learn it was never coming. By the way, you cannot lose the final fight, even if you fail every prompt.
This puzzle caused me SO MUCH pain as a kid, even though I loved the rest of the game. It took me so long to beat it that I was able to use my grandmas brand new computer to find the answer. That damn puzzle took me actual months
Man I can’t tell you how much fun this game was when I was a kid. Can’t say I ever used Shadow the way you did though. OKO mechanics were not my cup of tea. If I’m swinging, I’m hitting something.
Echidnas don't have stomachs. Their esophagus connects directly to the intestines. This has been half-remembered monotreme facts, thank you for joining me.
Did Alpha ever continue Sonic Frontiers past the first mainline channel video? He got past Gangnam styling robot but never uploaded another video (which I've always been hoping for ngl)

They were ripoffs! The amazing thing is that somehow Penders has the rights to those characters due to Archie comics's incompetence.
@@FalseHeraldthey weren’t don’t give Ken a shred of credit he’s a freak

30:32 "you're either brave or suicldal" is a crazy thing to put in a sonic game 💀

When they brought up eggmans legs all I could think was “ya didn’t think I had legs did you, I’m like gru but I’m the one before gru, I’m.. egggru!”

The fucking out of nowhere fourth wall break at the end just giving a history lesson on BioWare had me on the floor
This game is what I show people when I try to explain what "crunchy" means for a videogame
Ending was written like there was a writers strike 😅
I find it so funny when ppl are dying and Sonic's face is just "Nice :D"
I waited so long for the sequel that I forgot about it, only to remember years later, and looked it up to learn it was never coming.

Naming the crack-headed Gizoids after Greek mythology monsters was an… interesting choice.
Knuckles suddenly talks to Shadow for just a moment at 39:01
The timeloop really ties the whole thing together
"Sonic is the keast comforting friend" because of ADHD
I love the sonic styled actions
but gun is still there
Aintnoway this game had dialogue to credit everyone
3:26 So I loved this game as a kid, and I’ve been WAITING for Jacob to get to this specific puzzle…

i like all the battle options in the thumbnail being replaced except for gun
For some reason, Ix's sprite makes it look like his beard is coming out of his mouth and I cannot unsee it.
This was one of my favorite games as a kid i have no idea why it was just so good for no reason
Echidnas don't have stomachs. Their esophagus connects directly to the intestines. This has been half-remembered monotreme facts, thank you for joining me.
It’s kind of a shame this game didn’t get a sequel
I grew up with this game and I genuinely loved it lmao
Trying to replay it now I despise it
Did Alpha ever continue Sonic Frontiers past the first mainline channel video? He got past Gangnam styling robot but never uploaded another video (which I've always been hoping for ngl)
He played the rest of the game (presumably off screen) and said he didn’t like it
This might be one of the more… creative ways to make credits roll.
Idk why but Shade looks more like a Skylander than a Sonic character to me (at least with the mask on).
What a banger thumbnail.
Scylla and Charybdis are a Greek myth
The sequal to the game got cancelled because Ken Penders sued over the use of Echidna characters existing that arn't Knuckles!
2:23
You'll have sonic do what now?
oh thank god
"That's not english" correct buddy it's greek. In fact I'd wager a lot of this is greek
I still can't get over the credits lol
W sprite work
When AlphaBad skips dialogue, I consider skipping him. I hope he grows up and values dialogue and story in games.
Scylla and Charybdis? Hades 2 reference?
We absolutely need to get Ken Penders and Nintendo to make up so we can get a sequel
Is this game a Penders story?
@@Stevonicusno, but he claimed the writers for this game stole ideas from his comics
Can someone help jog my memory about the music playing 20:05 please?
The Lake theme in Pokémon Diamond Pearl Platinum
tried to convince my little brother to buy a shadow hoodie at hot topic today but failed 😔
At least you tried.
Seeing this and the thumbnail makes me wonder why he hasn't tried sonic robo blast 2 persona mod yet.
please can you play the sonic roblox game i think is call sonic speed simulator it is surprisingly really good and there are loads of throwbacks
any Sonic Battle fans in chat? Gizoid enthusiasts, perhaps?
This shit looks like it plays like a newgrounds game especially that last dialogue, wtf is THAT
This game really is official Fanfiction.
Based game
