This game is so good and thought out, they even made a toggle to let you decide whether the purple shooting guy is named Nack or Fang. That is very much appreciated.
Thanks for playing my game! Glad you had fun! Several bugs in this video were fixed about a week before you uploaded but I know making videos like this takes time, it's all good. XD Hope to see yall again for my next game.
@@NoahNCopeland if these kids comment on gamejolt for an android port one more time, its getting really annoying I'm starting to hope that the android port is cancelled too much begging tbh
@owendinostudios1200 Metal Overlord didn't transform with the chaos emeralds though, Metal just up and decided to merge himself with parts from the ship they were on
Unpopular opinion: I really really REEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY want one of those fan game creators to remake Tails' Adventure. That game took as much potential as possible making a game highlighting Tails' strengths as a mechanic and genius with it's light metroidvania style and slower pace very different to Sonic. It's one of my favourite classic Sonic games but there's so much room for improvement. Item management and usage could be better being a prime example.
You know, I agree. All these remakes have Sonic in it and usually Tails as the sidekick. So it would be nice for Tails to get a remake of his adventure
Well it’s probably not gonna happen because Noah Copeland(the creator) said he’s done with sonic and is gonna work on his own game with original characters
Those dark-looking emeralds weren't the negative energy, they were copies. This is alluded to in Egg Zeppelin Zone, where the screen says "Copy" over the dark emerald. And the fact Metal Sonic took 8 of them to become Rocket Metal was a nice touch. (In Fighters, there were 8 for some reason.)
both of you are right. they are copies but Eggman only figured out how to copy the negative energy, as the negative energy pattern was more readily duplicatable. this also mentioned in the tie-in comic for the game.
@@NoahNCopeland OH SHIT IT'S THE MAN HIMSELF also do these "negative emeralds" have a name? i just thought of literally calling them "Nega Emeralds" cause i think that sounds awesome
18:18 this was literally me on my first playthrough. i did this exact same thing and my time was at 6 minutes. there were no checkpoints in sight until conveniently right after that segment
This game is arguably one of the best remakes I've played in a long while, and it hits every single button for me to make it one of Sonic's best. And with Fallen Star being released right next to it and Frontiers getting closer and closer to release with promise, this looks to be a great year for Sonic.
Yeah and if frontiers sucks then we still have spark the electric jester 3 (already came out this year) and project: rascal (in development, will probably come this or next year)
@@mr_indie_fan With how promising frontiers looks as of recently, I actually have decently high hopes for sonic this year (origins was a bit of a let-down but thankfully nothing too disappointing)
If you told 13 year old me that this was Sonic 4, he'd believe you. Great classic Sonic game that I highly recommend checking out. Stands right up there with 2 and 3 in terms of sheer quality. Hope the extra characters get touched up a little in patches, particularly Fang cause some of his stages are just bugged at the start. Best fan game of the year probably. It's been a great year for classic Sonic fans all things considered.
@@bickuribox12 I sorta went in blind. I saw GameXplain's 40 minute showcase of the game and they made it all the way to meta junglira, but there aren't really any spoilers there i don't think so it still totally caught me off guard when were actually fighting Metal Sonic the whole time! It was a great plot twist. That's what I call good storytelling.
I just played this, after playing the 8-bit original a couple of months ago. This version is better, and not just because the game engine is better; the overall level design is superior. The Game Gear Tidal Plant and Meta Junglira Zones in particular were just painfully irritating. I don't think Aspect were very good at making Sonic levels generally (I preferred Ancient's levels), so Noah's remake addresses many of the major problems I had with the original. Regardless of this being a remake or even a fan game, it is a very good game in its own right.
I've been watching these videos for some time. It makes me happy that despite all the anger, sadness, hate and regret the franchise may have upon itself, there are some people that actually take time to get to know, understand, enjoy, and love Sonic (My stance aligns with yours on Forces!).
So Rocket Metal's second phase in Final Trouble is essentially Nightmare Power Orb's attack patterns from Kirby's Adventure. Shoots fireballs straight, shoots a spread shot of fireballs, shoots three lanes of bigger fireballs, does a screen-sweeping back-and-forth tackle to try and damage you... even the stage is the same, but inverted, as Sonic and Metal are descending to the ocean, but they don't take their final phase to the moon, and actually fight along the sunset of the sea.
Had a feeling this would be the next game you'd cover, lol. And yeah, it's genuinely an incredible experience. So much time and love went into making this game (I think about 5 or so years?), and it shows from the very first opening stage. The fact that fan games have begun reaching levels of polish and quality that rival even official game releases says so much about Sonic fans passion for the series. Bravo to everyone involved 👏🏽
I don’t say this lightly or often, but this is *literally* the perfect Sonic fan game since it captures the spirit of the classic series one to one. I also like how it was slightly retconned to be more of a direct sequel to 3 & Knuckles like how Sonic CD is a more direct sequel to Sonic 1. Honestly, the only thing that’s missing for me now in terms of content here is Amy, Mighty, and Ray as playable characters, especially since those three are being added into Sonic A.I.R. by modders and that Amy is being modded into Sonic CD Complete (Sort of), Sonic 1 Forever, and as a result probably Sonic 2 Absolute. Add in Mighty, Ray, Metal Sonic, and Fang/Nack into all those games as well and the whole main playable cast is done, which is crazy. But anyways, content addition wants aside, you could put this game on a SEGA Genesis cartridge and could convince so many people that this is a 100% official game without even questioning it. It’s *frightening* how accurate it is not to just the original Triple Trouble, but just the Genesis style of Sonic games in general. Easy second favorite game for me right behind SRB2 and SRB2Kart, which isn’t exactly fair to compare to since it has endless mod support, is built upon a DOOM engine, and has been around for literally decades, but hey that’s just the kind of wizardry that the classic Sonic community is willing to go to. Had they not existed then Triple Trouble 16 Bit would’ve been an easy number one. I’m really curious to see how Sonic Galactic and X-treme will turn out in the future, they look great so far as well. I hope they exceed all expectations, because *damn* us classic fans are eating the whole damn buffet here, and we just cannot stop…
In the original Triple Trouble on the Game Gear, the super peel-out gave you the same speed burst as the spindash. The difference was that you got like two seconds of the invincibility sparkles... It was honestly better to just spindash. That said, the input was Up+Jump which was identical to how you made Tails fly (not by pressing Jump in the air), so it felt cohesive given that both characters had an Up+Jump input. On another subject, I find it ironic that you enjoyed the icy area of this remake. That's great news, because the Game Gear's version was actually my *least* favorite zone. It had lots of lag-inducing elements, few places to move at full speed, and an uphill auto-scroller leading up to the boss...
As someone who has played the original Triple Trouble a good amount, I think the fan game is very excellent complementary piece. Not an outright replacement since I do actually think the original game has some qualities that outshine the fan game, but the fan game is doing its own things and does a good amount of it very well in its own right. Here's to seeing some more polish to it!
As a Sonic 3 fan, Sonic Triple Trouble 16 Bit was a fucking love letter. I love Mania, but I would be so interested to see what these guys would've made if they were in charge of it. The level design is just..... so good.
I really appriciate the Special Stages in this game.... I tried playing Fallen Star, and the Special Stages in that game kinda killed my interest. Since they were just.... Really weirdly hard from the get go. (I still need to eventually finish it.... I just don't feel like messing with those stages....) But, I feel like the thing that makes these ones SO MUCH more beginner friendly is the retry system. Like you said, it's perfect. It gives you a reason to collect 1-Ups in the stages. (Fallen Star could REALLY have used this system too.... I feel like that game needed it much MUCH more difficulty wise. And the special rings being harder to find as well.) But yeah, this fan game.... A few bugs aside, is very much on par with the classic games. Seriously, it's really fun overall to replay even. (I DO wish the free play mode had an option to just keep going... would kind of make up for Fang and Metal Sonic not having story modes if I could just play all their stages back to back smoothly.)
I finished it last night, and as a fan of Triple Trouble, I think it's a great Sonic game. That boss music kicking in after Sonic gets slammed by the arm made me realize it was gonna be good.
There was something I always liked about Robotnik Winter. Even in the original, it was always one of the most fun levels I ever played. Plus, that name. Robotnik Winter. It's a futuristic mechanic frozen tundra. That and, you get to use snowboards at regular intervels.
Going on another marathon watch of your sonic videos while working is just perfectly calming- all the while getting chuckles here and there from your humor Love your vids man- I hope you keep at it cause you're one of my top favorite youtubers!
such an underrated channel dear god your line delivery is great and very entertaining, actually kinda inspirational in the way you make these videos :) i look forward to more content mr bickuribox
@@wouldyouskibidi It's not actually a Genesis game, just a game that looks like a Genesis game. It's completely free because it's a fan game, and you can play it on PC, and soon Android phones. Go play it, basically.
@@wouldyouskibidi Apparently Apple is going to allow sideloaded apps on IOS soon, meaning you'll be able to install apps from places beyond the app store and an IOS port of this game is very likely now. It'll be a while, but you'll probably be able to play this game eventually.
i’ve been watching your videos for so damn long man and i can’t tell you how happy i am to see how much success you’re having, and i hope you’re enjoying creating content again!
Between Triple Trouble and Sonic Xtreme for SEGA Saturn [that sick SAGE 2022 demo that can run on real hardware], Fang has gotten more love in a month than he has since like 1996 I DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE METAL SONIC'S FINAL FORMS WERE A REFERENCE TO THE SCRAPPED XTREME METAL DESIGN THAT'S SO COOL
As a massive fan of the original triple trouble, I think this game is awesome. My biggest problem with the game is that the pogo spring is only used once in the whole game, and it’s in the last 10 seconds of the secret zone.
i have never played any sonic game ever besides the one that was on that one site filled with like 60 something flash games all in one window that you click into, and i just appreciate the love you have for these games and the fact that you can talk so long and make a 30 minute video of just you spilling random thoughts. this is my favorite kind of content, even if i dont know what the absolute *hell* is going on. i just like people ramblin xD
Triple Trouble 16-Bit: *adds Metal Sonic and gives Origins the finger* Sonic Origins 2023: *proceeds to add Amy in it's DLC and returns the gesture back*
the true final boss fight reminded me of the kirby adventure nightmare fight and that made me realize that despite being one of the sickest way to fight,it's somehow not used that much,or at least from what i've seen
u never fail to entertain me. Im always just hoping that youll upload another video but also understand the time and effort u put into it and thats why it ends up coming out so perfect
The bosses are references to the actual bosses from the OG Gamegear game. Great Turquoise had the giant Turtle. You used springs on the mini turtle bots and the air-spin move to hit it. Sunset Park had the train run. Locomotive was the boss like here. Meta Junglira had the snake. Its amazing they took the snake and made it themed into a snake temple. Robotnik Winter had the Giga Penguin that shot out penguin bots. Very similar here. Tidal Plant had you fighting Knuckles in a submarine. Was super easy to cheese as Tails, of course. Atomic Destroyer had Metal Sonic, a fake out with Nack/Fang, and then 4x phases of Robotnik. 1st was him on that pogo stick, then shooting fire, then shooting electrical balls, and finally the arena. This has been rather faithful. Triple Trouble also had you fight Nack at the end of most of the Special Stages. The Air Scooter also is quite faithful. You had the Pogostick, the Air Scooter flying about, the missile, and then the drill.
the easter eggs are really cool too. If you're playing as knuckles and go the the outside of the airship and glide of then you eventually get to robotnick winter without finishing the level.
While Mania was cool, it moreso felt like a "Sonic's Greatest Hits" Album for the classic series. This really feels like the true sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and I couldn't be happier about it. Also its 10x better than Fallen Star fite me
This is my first video of yours an must say I'm impressed with it all. Pacing, and timing, comedy and when to use it, audio seems to have no glaring issues, and a good fair review. I'll be subscribing, checking out some other videos and waiting for new ones!
The glitches in this game aren't too bad, and often just really funny, but most glitches I found in the game were in robotnick winter for...some reason. Like penguins being in the floor, the wind not always catching me, or the game out right crashing after I opened a golden shield monitor. Also one time in atomic destroyer I could just skip the metal sonic bossfight because the screen somehow scrolled to where I could see and hit the goal post while metal was still trying to take my throat. But that one just had me dying laughing.
I just played this fan remake, and as someone who played and loved the original game, and as someone who is just a Sonic nut in general…. This game is incredible. I’m amazed at how accurate the remake is to the original while also going absolutely nuts with new ideas. This is certainly a contender for one of my favorite 2D Sonic titles. It felt the same magic I felt when I played 3&k and Mania for the first time. And those two are my favorite Sonic games period… so yeah. I’m gonna give it some more time to cook, but I feel pretty safe in saying this is one of the best 2D Sonic games ever. My biggest complaint was how easy it was to get all the emeralds really early on. I appreciate not being able to go super until after you beat the final boss, but I found 1 Emerald in the first stage and then the rest in second. And I found about 15 more special rings by the end of the game (and it frustrates me that I couldn’t grab those for 50 rings which is one of my favorite things to do in 3&k and Mania). Other than that, my only complaints are just the glitches, but a simple patch could easily fix those up.
I NEED TO SING THIS GAME'S PRAISES SOMEWHERE. This game is fantastic! The creator who made this should be really proud of himself for making something that battles the quality of Sega themselves. (I just finished my first playthrough with the good ending haven't delved into time attacking the game, knukles play through, fang the snipers and i haven't even found that extra stage yet so still a lot more to do.) It's time too replay this over and over.
makes me appreciate the sonic.exe FNF stuff just bit more. Very good in depth review, i ended up watching to the end not knowing half the stuff your talking about.
I like when fans recreate pre existing games, not because I want the new one to replace the old one, but because I can appreciate the ideas from both the fan developers and the original developers. Unless it's 06 in which case you can suck it.
Hey, really good video. I really liked this remake, but I was worried video essays would be nothing but praise and refusing to get into the grittier details. I agree with a lot of your points here, and it's nice to see them formulated in a way I couldn't.
This cements it, I'm just bad at sonic special stages. I barely managed to get all 6 emeralds before the end, and spent something in the ballpark of 30 lives of re-tries to do it.
I just recently stumbled onto this channel due to a recommendation from a friend and it has been a blessing. These Sonic fan games are nuts. I particularly like the usage of the Sonic 3 version of the Sonic sprite. The Mania sprite is really jarring for me but S3&K is my favorite platformer of all time so I'm definitely biased. I'll definitely have to give this one a go.
I never liked the sonic 3 sprite, I prefer the 1/cd sprite, and for me sonic 2's sprite is the best one, so I kinda avoid the sonic 3 sprite if I can replace it with a mod
@@nicolasbernasconi7228 there’s something about the older sprite that makes Sonic look washed out to me. Thankfully we live in the glorious age of mods.
I think the modesty is why I like it so much, largely keeping to the spirit of the original, occasionally sprinkling in its own ideas and things from other games that don’t overstay their welcome or steal the show I think fanmade remakes can occasionally go too far and bite off more then they can chew, throwing in huge setpieces, loads of characters and multi-phase bosses, and the result is either the game losing sight of what it’s meant to be, or the devs only making a few zones before calling it quits With TT16bit I never forgot I was supposed to be playing Triple Trouble
I'm about to try this out, but I can easily imagine that this will go extremely well with my collection of Sonic 1 Forever, CD Rebooted, 2 Absolute, and 3 A.I.R. and even Mania, and all while on the Steam Deck! All that's left now is for someone to make a decent quality launcher that seamlessly puts together all the games in one shortcut.
Every level in this game is similar to one or two levels from 3K Great Turquoise - Angel Island Sunset Park - Hydrocity without water Meta Junglira - Mushroom Hill, Marble Garden Egg Zeppelin - Flying Battery Robotnik Winter - IceCap Tidal Plant - Launch Base, Hydrocity Atomic Destroyer - Death Egg Purple Palace - Sky Sanctuary
This game is so good and thought out, they even made a toggle to let you decide whether the purple shooting guy is named Nack or Fang.
That is very much appreciated.

What if an update added the insta-shield, but it was a toggle between it and the drop dash? Like, either you went with either one, or neither.

Going on another marathon watch of your sonic videos while working is just perfectly calming- all the while getting chuckles here and there from your humor
Love your vids man- I hope you keep at it cause you're one of my top favorite youtubers!
such an underrated channel dear god
your line delivery is great and very entertaining, actually kinda inspirational in the way you make these videos :)
i look forward to more content mr bickuribox
I think this is easily the best Sonic fan game, it's absolutely fantastic. I don't even think it's that far from the quality of Sonic 3 and Mania.
Its better than it how much do i pay …oh I probably need the sega genises
@@wouldyouskibidi It's not actually a Genesis game, just a game that looks like a Genesis game. It's completely free because it's a fan game, and you can play it on PC, and soon Android phones.
Go play it, basically.
Im on ios :(
@@wouldyouskibidi Aw man, that sucks to hear. It's a fantastic game, so please keep it in mind if you ever switch over to Android or get a PC.
@@wouldyouskibidi Apparently Apple is going to allow sideloaded apps on IOS soon, meaning you'll be able to install apps from places beyond the app store and an IOS port of this game is very likely now. It'll be a while, but you'll probably be able to play this game eventually.
For the scene before the credits I was also expecting a extra cutscene/cliffhanger.
To be honest, playing Doomsday Zone and Final Trouble, I have to admit that the stakes were higher in Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Recently found you thanks to that Sonic P-06 Silver video and I got to say, I admire all of your work that I've been watching now!
i’ve been watching your videos for so damn long man and i can’t tell you how happy i am to see how much success you’re having, and i hope you’re enjoying creating content again!
Between Triple Trouble and Sonic Xtreme for SEGA Saturn [that sick SAGE 2022 demo that can run on real hardware], Fang has gotten more love in a month than he has since like 1996
I DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE METAL SONIC'S FINAL FORMS WERE A REFERENCE TO THE SCRAPPED XTREME METAL DESIGN THAT'S SO COOL
As a massive fan of the original triple trouble, I think this game is awesome. My biggest problem with the game is that the pogo spring is only used once in the whole game, and it’s in the last 10 seconds of the secret zone.
My guess is that it just wouldn't fit the 16 bit sonic game design philosophy, so had to only be reserved for small locations.
Legends has it that Fang is still running...
i have never played any sonic game ever besides the one that was on that one site filled with like 60 something flash games all in one window that you click into, and i just appreciate the love you have for these games and the fact that you can talk so long and make a 30 minute video of just you spilling random thoughts. this is my favorite kind of content, even if i dont know what the absolute *hell* is going on. i just like people ramblin xD
I love how you show the glitches in good humor instead of bashing the game. Nice job. I ENJOYED the review.
Legends say Fang is still going to this day
Babe wake up my new favorite TH-camr just uploaded
I have actually never heard of this one. Looks really cool!
This applies to all your sonic videos but I love your humour, passive aggressiveness and references
1:32 oh my god he added *charming epilogue ending cutscene* exactly like you said what the heck
Triple Trouble 16-Bit: *adds Metal Sonic and gives Origins the finger*
Sonic Origins 2023: *proceeds to add Amy in it's DLC and returns the gesture back*
the true final boss fight reminded me of the kirby adventure nightmare fight and that made me realize that despite being one of the sickest way to fight,it's somehow not used that much,or at least from what i've seen
that "WOAH KNUCKLES" sounded so genuine
u never fail to entertain me. Im always just hoping that youll upload another video but also understand the time and effort u put into it and thats why it ends up coming out so perfect
Phenomenal reviews that really shine a light on more general, widespread platformer wonk. This game looks great
The bosses are references to the actual bosses from the OG Gamegear game.
Great Turquoise had the giant Turtle. You used springs on the mini turtle bots and the air-spin move to hit it.
Sunset Park had the train run. Locomotive was the boss like here.
Meta Junglira had the snake. Its amazing they took the snake and made it themed into a snake temple.
Robotnik Winter had the Giga Penguin that shot out penguin bots. Very similar here.
Tidal Plant had you fighting Knuckles in a submarine. Was super easy to cheese as Tails, of course.
Atomic Destroyer had Metal Sonic, a fake out with Nack/Fang, and then 4x phases of Robotnik. 1st was him on that pogo stick, then shooting fire, then shooting electrical balls, and finally the arena. This has been rather faithful.
Triple Trouble also had you fight Nack at the end of most of the Special Stages. The Air Scooter also is quite faithful. You had the Pogostick, the Air Scooter flying about, the missile, and then the drill.
*"you are NOTHING to me-"*
I have a feeling you'll love a series called Spark The Electric Jester, and it's a perfect time since the 3rd game is out.
the easter eggs are really cool too. If you're playing as knuckles and go the the outside of the airship and glide of then you eventually get to robotnick winter without finishing the level.
While Mania was cool, it moreso felt like a "Sonic's Greatest Hits" Album for the classic series. This really feels like the true sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and I couldn't be happier about it.
Also its 10x better than Fallen Star fite me
8:38 Don't judge fang,he tried to use the avatar ability (blue chaos emerald) to fight against Metal Sonic
This is my first video of yours an must say I'm impressed with it all. Pacing, and timing, comedy and when to use it, audio seems to have no glaring issues, and a good fair review. I'll be subscribing, checking out some other videos and waiting for new ones!
Thanks for hopping aboard!
Awesome review. Went pretty in-depth in a lot of aspects and with touches of humor too. Love it.
omg this video is so funny, your comedy is on point all throughout lmao
16:58 had me dying XD
You know it’s a good game when the only criticism is that the jump is late
"Better Icecap"
Alright, Ima need to send you to the Shadow Real for that one.
your delivery is so much funny, wow. that was an enjoyable video to watch
"YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME." "I MUST BECOME EGG." The best things I ever heard.
i love your channel, you’re a breath of fresh air in this community. keep kickin butt
:D
17:49 the way he pronounces Savordez kills me everytime and idk why
I'm so stoked that you covered 5hus game!! The moment I finished it, I knew you would absolutely adore it.
The glitches in this game aren't too bad, and often just really funny, but most glitches I found in the game were in robotnick winter for...some reason. Like penguins being in the floor, the wind not always catching me, or the game out right crashing after I opened a golden shield monitor. Also one time in atomic destroyer I could just skip the metal sonic bossfight because the screen somehow scrolled to where I could see and hit the goal post while metal was still trying to take my throat. But that one just had me dying laughing.
I just played this fan remake, and as someone who played and loved the original game, and as someone who is just a Sonic nut in general…. This game is incredible. I’m amazed at how accurate the remake is to the original while also going absolutely nuts with new ideas. This is certainly a contender for one of my favorite 2D Sonic titles. It felt the same magic I felt when I played 3&k and Mania for the first time. And those two are my favorite Sonic games period… so yeah. I’m gonna give it some more time to cook, but I feel pretty safe in saying this is one of the best 2D Sonic games ever. My biggest complaint was how easy it was to get all the emeralds really early on. I appreciate not being able to go super until after you beat the final boss, but I found 1 Emerald in the first stage and then the rest in second. And I found about 15 more special rings by the end of the game (and it frustrates me that I couldn’t grab those for 50 rings which is one of my favorite things to do in 3&k and Mania). Other than that, my only complaints are just the glitches, but a simple patch could easily fix those up.
I NEED TO SING THIS GAME'S PRAISES SOMEWHERE. This game is fantastic! The creator who made this should be really proud of himself for making something that battles the quality of Sega themselves. (I just finished my first playthrough with the good ending haven't delved into time attacking the game, knukles play through, fang the snipers and i haven't even found that extra stage yet so still a lot more to do.) It's time too replay this over and over.
Honestly this looks like a prequel to Sonic Superstars. And it kind of feels like one.
9:16 Rood Goldberg machine of a disaster WHEEZE
makes me appreciate the sonic.exe FNF stuff just bit more. Very good in depth review, i ended up watching to the end not knowing half the stuff your talking about.
0:15
I laughed out loud when you said that, LOL. Although in all seriousness, I completely agree with you. We need a sequel to Sonic Mania.
A small detail I noticed is that in “Final Trouble”, Super Sonic’s dashing pose is a reference to an unused Super Sonic sprite from Knuckles Chaotix
"You can play as Fang" are words I've wanted to hear spoken for over 20 years.
I like when fans recreate pre existing games, not because I want the new one to replace the old one, but because I can appreciate the ideas from both the fan developers and the original developers.
Unless it's 06 in which case you can suck it.
I liked how you mentioned the idea of a sonic only mode, because everywhere other than America, the game called Sonic and Tails 2
I don’t understand your comedy. But I like it.
Bit of trivia regarding Sonic and water, Sonic & Knuckles has NO water in it. Period.
Ironically hyper sonic can't drown, so in a normal playthrough that ability it's just useless
Hey, really good video. I really liked this remake, but I was worried video essays would be nothing but praise and refusing to get into the grittier details. I agree with a lot of your points here, and it's nice to see them formulated in a way I couldn't.
Noah really looked Bolt dead in the eyes, saw what he did with Sonic Omens, and just gave him the largest middle finger he's ever seen.
This cements it, I'm just bad at sonic special stages. I barely managed to get all 6 emeralds before the end, and spent something in the ballpark of 30 lives of re-tries to do it.
"i haven't played the original triple trouble" bro please do so, it's pretty fuckin good
Not much point when we have this now though
@@ShadowUI i disagree, while the fan remake does a lot good, it doesn't completely invalidate the original or anything of the sort
1:37 in the most recent update, they actually did add an ending cutscene, and it is REALLY satisfying
Fun Fact
LITERALLY ALMOST ALL THE LEVELS IN SONIC 3 HAVE WATER
ANGEL ISLAND
HYDROCITY
CARNIVAL NIGHT
ICECAP
AND LAUNCH BASE
I just wonder how fast this fan game could’ve been completed if it was a full professional dev team that got paid for their work…
I just recently stumbled onto this channel due to a recommendation from a friend and it has been a blessing. These Sonic fan games are nuts. I particularly like the usage of the Sonic 3 version of the Sonic sprite. The Mania sprite is really jarring for me but S3&K is my favorite platformer of all time so I'm definitely biased. I'll definitely have to give this one a go.
I never liked the sonic 3 sprite, I prefer the 1/cd sprite, and for me sonic 2's sprite is the best one, so I kinda avoid the sonic 3 sprite if I can replace it with a mod
@@nicolasbernasconi7228 there’s something about the older sprite that makes Sonic look washed out to me. Thankfully we live in the glorious age of mods.
I think the modesty is why I like it so much, largely keeping to the spirit of the original, occasionally sprinkling in its own ideas and things from other games that don’t overstay their welcome or steal the show
I think fanmade remakes can occasionally go too far and bite off more then they can chew, throwing in huge setpieces, loads of characters and multi-phase bosses, and the result is either the game losing sight of what it’s meant to be, or the devs only making a few zones before calling it quits
With TT16bit I never forgot I was supposed to be playing Triple Trouble
Ngl this is the funniest STT 16 Bit analysis
I'm about to try this out, but I can easily imagine that this will go extremely well with my collection of Sonic 1 Forever, CD Rebooted, 2 Absolute, and 3 A.I.R. and even Mania, and all while on the Steam Deck!
All that's left now is for someone to make a decent quality launcher that seamlessly puts together all the games in one shortcut.
Every level in this game is similar to one or two levels from 3K
Great Turquoise - Angel Island
Sunset Park - Hydrocity without water
Meta Junglira - Mushroom Hill, Marble Garden
Egg Zeppelin - Flying Battery
Robotnik Winter - IceCap
Tidal Plant - Launch Base, Hydrocity
Atomic Destroyer - Death Egg
Purple Palace - Sky Sanctuary
Meta Junglira is like another angel island as well.
Oh. This is an actual game. And here I thought it was a song remix (you know the one).
Metal Sonic's infamous ultimate attack for the final boss: the paint bubble from SpongeBob's Wet Painters episode
Ive been waitin for you to make this video ever since you played fallen star, love your vids bro
Just a neat tidbit: the opening with the Genesis is almost certainly a reference to the Sega Channel startup animation.
