@DB8495 That'd just be Sonic 3 but without the character conflict of Sonic vs Knuckles present. Not much there I can do uniquely, I think - plus the concept of the series limits me to using prompts from the What If? Workbench streams.
@CP D2191 I’m afraid that, by the very premise of the show, I can only cover prompts discussed in the What If? Workbench livestream. Thank you for the suggestions, though!
Honestly extremely impressed with the voice acting in this project. I can tell that a lot of passion was put into this, and the story is fun to listen to!
The VAs did _incredible_ work. Make sure to check them out via the links in the description! Hyper and Sarah in particular star actively in Adrenaline Dubs, so you can listen to some great content from them there.
@maltese1122 I’m working on the second part as we speak! There’s still a few art pieces to be finished and some audio engineering to be done, but if all goes well I should have it edited together by the end of the month.
I love how you draw eyes and expressions, you immediately see the moods of the heroes and villains within a second of the first look. Especially love how you draw my favorite dude Tails but the artwork on the whole is top notch; it could easily make a good comic cover.
Thank you! Scourge works with co-writers fairly frequently, but our contributions are often hidden down in the description. I helped with the scripts for Parts 3, 4 and Shadow of What If Sonic Lost His Memory?, but my friend SinFrog helped with Part 2 of the Espio What If and VirtuaMaster helped with Part 2 of the Gamma What If.
You really answered a question that kept beeping in my mind for years, knuckles was a very interesting character before they butchered him Keep up the good work, always supporting
As an aside, you guys do realize most of SS's fans don't follow him on twitter right? If he posted a video telling the YTComs to check out this video I'm sure it would blow up. Just putting that out there. Good job with this to everyone involved.
This was a really compelling story, and the voice acting is VERY impressive too! I haven't been able to get my Sega Scourge What If fix in some time, and I can see why you're on his writing team! I'll be looking forward to seeing what may be up next from you, Knuckles-related or otherwise! ^^
Both yours and scourges styles have there advantages and disadvantages yours is more detailed and because of that gives a more complete story overall but scourges less detailed approach allows him to get through a lot more material a lot quicker and while not dialogue heavy his descriptions of events are much more dramatic and he describes the events with such a dramatic flair making them very engaging to listen to.
That's an honest relief to hear, thanks! Hoping to start work on the next video before the end of the month, so it might even be out before the end of the semester, hahah!
This was a great episode! I love the character dynamics you showed in this episode, and I think it would be very interesting if Eggman actually starts to care for Knuckles a bit Especially since it seems the next episode will mainly show them alone with each other, I can see some nice genuine bonding moments Can’t wait for the next one
This is amazing! I can't believe I haven't seen this until now. And (on the off-chance that you actually read this), don't worry too much about polish. As long as the story's good, I don't need super fancy graphics, this is one of the few times where quantity of the episodes takes priority over visual quality.
I like how this what if gave a reason for the master emerald to move from hidden palace to shrine isle because really the master emerald was safer underground and moving it would just cause angle island to fall into the ocean if knuckles did not get it to shrine isle in time so I don’t see why he would risk moving it.
1:35 so i guess this is working under the idea that there are like, 4 yrs between adventure and classic? 5:38 yea its interesting how they were kinda right about chaos existing and the death egg having the potential to destroy the world. they just got it a little mixed up. 9:40 it feels a little weird to think that eggman probably taught knuckles about carnivals and gambling 10:24 is this the sonic adventure area of the timeline? 14:39 how does he have access to gun stuff? did he get it on a mission against eggman since hes known to steal from them? does gun just have their stuff online? doesnt seem like something theyd just let anyone access. 16:23 ok so this takes place on earth. nice. wait what about sky sanctuary? is it still a thing? did eggman fix it after sonic and mecha sonic mark 2 fight? 16:48 we should ask the deadly six that too 17:07 hehe old south island lore (now noncanon) reference 21:01 I can kinda believe that answer. cus eggman probably would not want to lie to knuckles in this instance, whether accidentally or not. plus i believe that after all this time he might have a soft spot and genuinely like knuckles now a little bit. 23:23 so i guess they just did not see the master emerald break into pieces or there was a flash or something and the pieces flew out of hidden palace? but anyway this is pretty interesting. i like how this is going so far. i want to see what amy would do if she meets knuckles. and who tikal would go to. would knuckles be scared of her. is he scared of ghosts? also i swear there was something about a weather machine in the early lore of sonic 3 manual, and i think fleetway had something like that as well? not sure how much bearing it has on the lore now, or even in the adventure days. would be a cool idea to see him use it to try to capture chaos. and maybe the eseries would be a thing as well later on. Im excited.
The Chaos Drives were a creation of Professor Gerald Robotnik. I'm working on the idea that Ivo is at least familiar with GUN technology and has access to his grandfather's old notes, and we know that Eggman started using Chaos Drives in his robots by the time of '06 regardless. Likewise, it's probably save to chalk them not noticing the Master Emerald shards scattering up to the four-way debate happening at the time mixed with the immediate follow-up of Chaos. But yeah, those ME shards are gone, scattered all around. We'll have to find out just where in the next episode. Thanks for checking the video out!
Me reading the title before watching the video: So…basically the green ranger turned Lord Drakkon in Boom Studios comic, but instead of Tommy murking Rita Repulsa, it is Knuckles murking Robotnik after becoming Enerjak
Hopefully Your college semester will make you satisfied with yourself and making sure that your life is ensured. Hopefully Knuckles stays a villain will become a series. There will be other what if’s inspired by Sega Scourge that will never be forgotten because Sega Scourge made us believe in Sonic The Hedgehog once more and makes everything else of Sonic media brilliant. Werehog Form Emerl Survived The Lost Memory Saga Gamma’s Survival Meeting The Joker and Trained by the Sinister Six
I wonder if eggman would help knuckles train and give him new tools, like the glove and shoe upgrades in sonic adventure 1 and 2. Maybe knuckles can make some suggestions for different robots or upgrades and help eggman spot and fix problems in them
Great video. You should continue this series.also why isn’t Amy in this series.she was in cd and CD came before sonic 3.so it should have been sonic,tails and amy vs eggman and knuckles
Funny you say that, I've finally gotten back to editing Part 2 and it's almost finished! As for why Amy's not in Part 1, you have to think about the overall narrative. During the Classic games, Amy wasn't a core part of Team Sonic. She was still just the clingy fangirl that shows up occasionally. Sonic Adventure is the game where she vowed to improve, and Adventure 2 and Advance are where Amy went from tagalong to teammate. Due to where I've placed this story, Amy wouldn't have joined Sonic and Tails in their charge on Eggman's mountain base. I will say, though - I have some significant plans for Amy in later chapters of the story, and will absolutely give one of my favorite characters her fair due.
Speaking of Sega scourge where is he he hasn’t a posted a video sense and it’s been a very long time is he OK also I got another what if for him for the sonic metal virus comic series what if sonic gain control of the metal virus
Hey something that popped into my mind when watching sage scourges gamma what if since in this what if eggmans badnicks are powered by chaos drives Would gamma and the other E-series still be powered by animals Would gamma even have a reason to go after the other e-series if that was the case Could gamma end up surviving in this what it as well.
I'm working on the next episode of the Knuckles What If right now, actually! Sorry it's taken so long - between scripting, recording, editing and getting the contributions of VAs and artists alike, WIWEP is by far the most intensive series on my channel.
Sonic Adventure 1 takes place on Earth, and so does the main bulk of this storyline. While the events of Sonic 3 were referenced, which take place on Sonic's World, it's part of the script that Angel Island crashed into the side of the _Mystic Ruins_ - i.e. the land that's connected to Station Square, thus Earth.
S&K's events were directly addressed in the video. The game was mostly the same, but Eggman acted to 'save' Knuckles instead of stealing the Master Emerald, thus leading to Sonic and Tails finding Sky Sanctuary on their own.
I'll definitely consider it, but I personally tend to not be a fan of "what if X stayed dead" prompts due to my dislike of meaningless character death and the fact it straight-up removes a character from the story. I _have_ been considering doing something else Shadow-relevant as the second series, though~
@@joshuahecht6866 Not taking What If prompts here! You'll have to wait for the next What If? Workbench livestream to suggest such a thing. (But I think it's worth saying that if Shadow doesn't turn to the side of good in SA2's endgame, the ARK falls and everyone dies.)
@@MechanistGamma I know The workbench is good. And I. Know about the ark incident. I was just wondering if the amnesia made shadow into a permanent villain like what Sonic went through by Sega Scourge
@@tailsdoll2743 That would be a MASSIVE deviation from canon, and would necessitate Tails somehow making his way to Angel Island. Not something I can cover in just a TH-cam reply.
@@tailsdoll2743 As I've mentioned before, the premise of the show only allows me to cover prompts from the What If? Workbench. But you can certainly submit the prompt when the next show comes around!
This was a very well put together story, man.

Nah man, thank YOU for being willing to do so. Fantastic work as always!

Knuckles and Eggman being buddy buddy is such a fun dynamic
I hope that this becomes a series. I love scourge’s what if stories and this one gives me “what if sonic lost his memory?” Vibes
'tis the plan!

You've earned my sub! The voice acting alone got me hooked!

16:23 ok so this takes place on earth. nice. wait what about sky sanctuary? is it still a thing? did eggman fix it after sonic and mecha sonic mark 2 fight?
16:48 we should ask the deadly six that too

I love this so much i need a Part 2
I am loving this story I hope to see more of it.
This was great can’t wait to see what you make next
What an interesting idea.
3 and 4 are good episodes of what if sonic lost his memory
This means we get Badass Knuckles!
Agreed
Both the movie and the series of the brilliant mind of Mechanist Gamma.
It does look awesome and knuckles is badass
This’ll be a fun saga honestly :)
This was really good!

Get him to 1k this was so good
Mechanist gamma is the omniverse to game apologists uaf lol
There's a Derrick J. Wyatt comparison in there and from what I've heard of Omniverse, can't say it's a very flattering one lmao
The line at 14:10 is just legendary.
Heheh, thank you very much! I love writing dialogue, especially in action scenes.

Can’t what for part 2
I'd play this
24:09 🤣
We still need a Part 2
It'll come with time, don't you worry.
Dude did you get Ryan to voice sonic? Sonic sounds so accurate
Hah! No, that's AndrewHVA, who does a fantastic Adventure Sonic voice. You can check out his links in the video description!
So Team Sonic would never form in Heroes :(
Could you do a: what if sonic and tails were evil and eggman good, this would change most of the games and be an interesting scenario
Wow I didn't like this as knuckles a villain I like him as a good guy
Are you planning on doing more of these what if video's?
Or is this the only one you'll ever do?
I'm working on the next episode of the Knuckles What If right now, actually! Sorry it's taken so long - between scripting, recording, editing and getting the contributions of VAs and artists alike, WIWEP is by far the most intensive series on my channel.
So, just out of curiosity, does this story take place on Earth, Mobius, or does it depend on what part of the story we’re listening to?
Sonic Adventure 1 takes place on Earth, and so does the main bulk of this storyline. While the events of Sonic 3 were referenced, which take place on Sonic's World, it's part of the script that Angel Island crashed into the side of the _Mystic Ruins_ - i.e. the land that's connected to Station Square, thus Earth.
What would happen to shadow though if he was im this story
So S&K would never exist.
No it could exist it could be about sonic and knuckles working together to beat chaos so it would be mix with sonic adventure 2 and knuckles
S&K's events were directly addressed in the video. The game was mostly the same, but Eggman acted to 'save' Knuckles instead of stealing the Master Emerald, thus leading to Sonic and Tails finding Sky Sanctuary on their own.
Could you do what if shadow stay dead after Sonic Adventure 2
