- The boost formula is a great time, sometimes. Upon its debut, was it as good as it'd be later down the road?

Here’s a tip for anyone who’s planning to play this game for the first time in the future:
If you’re playing this on a variation of the 3ds xl, HOLD START OR SELECT WHEN THE GAME LOADS ONCE YOU’RE ON YOUR WAY TO THAT 7TH SPECIAL STAGE*.
Trust me, you’ll hate it with the normal touch screen size.
The special stages are still the best in the series
As someone with only an original 3DS, what does doing that do?
The 3DS screens are larger than the DS' screens. If you do this, it plays the game at the normal resolution of the DS.
@@Garrulous64 what games do you think that could use an upgrade
How exactly does that help? My first time was on 3DS XL and I did all the special stages first try. I thought it controlled great even with the large screen
"This was in no way a rushed job"
True facts to start off with.
"I don't apologise for any bad puns. And neither should you."
Agreed.
Mr.LeeLee Leee YEAH let’s “RUSH” em if they disagree
IGN: “Sonic was never good.”
*IGN gives Sonic Rush a 9/10*
Silver: “Does anyone but you believe your lies?!”
“You can’t spell ignorant without IGN!” SS182 Sonic, 2018
The lie is that they gave it 9/10. Because that is a crime and a sin. If they didn't gave it 10/10, they should be in hell.
Some of IGN’s newer reviews are actually decent
@Afrika Johnson “Sonic’s games after SA2 aren’t very good”
Hmmm......
Sonic Heroes, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure, Sonic Advanced, Sonic Advanced 2, Sonic Advanced 3, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors, Sonic Colors DS, Sonic Generations, and even more spin-offs I haven’t mentioned.
@@javianwilliams7463 wait they actually said that? I never thought I could love them more lmao😂
Fun fact about the sonic rush ost: Hideki Naganuma uses samples from other forms of media to recreate the soundtrack for the game, much like jet set radio. A prime example of this is in the final boss of the game that's music is called "Wrapped in Black", the "too black, too strong" is completely ripped out of Malcolm X's grassroots movement speech.
Sonic Rush got me into the Sonic series, so I'll always have special feelings for the game :)
Same here
Generations was my first and is my favourite...
Such a large modding community
Sonic Rush was my first ever game. It'll always have a special place in my heart.
Same man!
Sonic colors ds got me into it
Broke: The boost gameplay started in Sonic Rush
*WOKE* : The boost gameplay started in the Sonic Heroes special stages
EVERYONE LIKE THIS NOW
@@Walszi Okay.
Super woke: Boost started in Sonic Advance 2
I don't what this "woke" is... must be the new thing the internet has gargled out.
Ultra Woke" The boost gameplay started in Sonic 2 with the spindash
10:12
"It's actually really good level design. They teach you how to use it for a long time before they kill you with it."
-Garrulous 2020
“And even if you die, there’s a checkpoint before it, so it’s not a big thing to complain about.”
That moment when you remember that Sonic Rush is the last mainline game where Cream played a significant role and not just as a background character
This and Rush Adventure are some of my favorite DS games ever. Wonderful Soundtracks, endlessly fun levels and introduced a fan favorite female character. The Egg King is also perhaps one of the hardest bosses in the series. Though, I feel like they forced the friendship speech a bit too much.
"GET READY TO BE SCHOOLED"
I bought a used copy of sonic rush and when I booted it up it knew my name
Either the previous owner had the same name or it's possessed
either way it's lit
That's kinda spooky
@@Garrulous64 Not to mention my name is extremely uncommon in england, meaning it would be REALLY unlikely if this is just a coincidence
@@aaadjfje By the ghost of blaze seeking vengance for sonic 06!
Oooooh thats spooky (hides behind your couch)
The game uses the nickname from the “Nintendo DS Profile” in the System Settings, but it confused me as well when I started playing because I also got a used copy of Sonic Rush
11:58 he says back-to-back whilst back-to-back is playing
When that was in the notes he gave me for the edit, I seriously doubted anyone would notice. Glad I did it lol
I didn’t notice that the first time I watched this ( never played sonic rush) and then I started listening to the ost (it’s really good) and when I saw this i was like “I see what you did there”
Yeah I love this game.
That music though.
It's absolutely amazing and supposedly was made or based off of jet set radio which is epic.
The 2 things I hate are the bottomless pits that this game spams and the trial and error.
One to many times have I ran into spikes or off little platforms due to screen crunch.
Granted this games screen crunch isn't that bad though.
It' still was a great game for the ds and a great introduction to blaze
Tell me dead line doesnt have some of the best music in the whole game
you are everywhere
Mirage Road would like to have a word with you
@Garrulous64 True, I was listening to the ost before you made this and I like dead line better
That black hedgehog again, of all places.
I'm currently replaying this game. I love trying to beat my own times in time trial. You can really use the physics to shave off time by finding skips and short cuts.
Also, this is probably one of the best sound tracks in gaming. Blaze and her back story is so cool. A girl version of Sonic from another dimension, with fire instead of the "Wind" Sonic embodies. Shame '06 tried to ruin her.
5/5 game and one of my favorites. (Bosses suck though)
The bits where Sonic snaps in the video are so subtle I thought it was game audio. A+
It technically is, he snaps in game and you can hear it, but since we muted the game audio, i wanted to put those bits back in.
This fills me with a rush of energy.
*Vela-Nova*
I'm not gonna lie, I loved this game, the music and the way it plays was dope.
The story was a lil lackluster but it was good in my opinion, blaze was a completely cold and shut off character, believing she had to do everything on her own, until she met sonic, cream, and the others.
Who begin to make her realize that she doesn't have to be alone in what she does, and she doesn't have to be DEAD serious all the time.
In the end blaze finally realizes the truth about what it means to be a person and have friends and she relaxes, the song that plays after super sonic and burning blaze wins is super indicative of that "lifting me up", cuz it's what sonic and friends did for her.
It truly shows how positive sonic and his friends are and points out a key part in Sonics personality, he may be a cocky, attitude having, fun loving character, but deep down he REALLY cares about others and wants to bring out the best in them.
It's why They are where they are in the IDW comics, cuz eggman may be ass as a man, but sonic believed he could turn over a new leaf as mr tinker and let him try.
Long story short, Sonic rush was good asf and I loved how it introduced a character that was not only sharpened by the other characters but in doing so it emphasized how good the other characters were to make such a thing possible in the 1st place.
QotD: Definitely Dead Line. What U Need was the menu music, and hearing it proper was nice. And the Boss is possibly the most memorable in the game.
"...I don't apologize for bad puns ever and neither should you."
THIS MAN SPEAKS THE TRUTH!!!
This editing is actually very good and I'm surprised no one is talking about it.
Aw shucks! Thank you!
@@andrewwdavvid No Problem! Keep up the great work!
I love these new scripted reviews. The thumbnails are fantastic and it's great Garrulous is talking about the lesser reviewed games.
This game is my childhood I loved it
Despite me getting stuck on the 2nd zone because water levels suck
And the 7th special stage
And the bosses
I still love the game because the pros obliterated the cons
@maltese 84 it would probably be less hell on my younger self
Sonic rush was one of my first games, and it is still my favorite Sonic ever
The Water Palace music slaps. Literally. I can hear a dude getting slapped and then yelling at whoever did it.
I'm actually playing through sonic rush for the first time as a part of my sonic marathon rn Haha
BRUH I just decided a few weeks prior that i would be replaying Sonic Rush which i did and i got a flood of nostalgia and i agree not many people talk about the game that started the boost formula
That jimmy timmy power reference genuinely made me laugh. Great video Garrulous!
I like the boost a bit, but I prefer other momentum styled games. Doesn’t make it any worse, but I see Rush as a good example of Boost
Thanks for being the only person to comment about that reference.
I love seeing your style evolve, especially coupled with a video about one of my personal favorites. I'm looking forward to what you have in store for us next time.
Finally, a great review of the best sonic game
Blaze is indeed, my favorite Sonic Character.
This is actually the first game I ever played. I'm actually glad you reviewed it. Story is somewhat lacking, but the gameplay is one of the best.
This game is my favorite game of all time! The soundtrack being a banger, the story being alright, and of course that gameplay being really fun for a boost game, the adrenaline system (tricks) was Soo much style and being able to get a huge bunch of bars for doing the finishers as you land is great, the one thing that I find the most impressive with this game is the transition from the top or bottom, it is super smooth and often it is hard to notice it even happened because the eyes were natualy following the character.
10:53 Kinda expected to hear shooting stars
13:54 expected a double boost meme (or pun)
Both of those are super stale and crusty, like your brain
Matt from Wii Sports oh god its fuckin’ MATT
Thanks for making this video! I now know the controls for sonic rush I’m getting it on Sunday.
Boosting is booshing which shouldn’t be confused with boosht
which is kind of booshit
@7:30-.
Me: >Jumps off a grand rail.
Dips: “I diagnose you with death!”
You can't boost during a boss fight, but I found an alternative years ago. If you spin-dash, repeatedly pressing the button for max speed, release it, make a quick jump almost instantly (to get Sonic or Blaze back on their running animation), and press and hold left or right, you'll see Sonic/Blaze running really really fast. The sooner you jump the quicker you'll go.
Finally some1 gives a fresh review of this game. The only(sort of) recent review is johnny's and it's rare for me to see the game get the spotlight compared to the previous series
Also if anyone sees this, there's a smol strat to perform tricks faster in special stages. You can simply slide your stylus(or finger) to the next number, you don't need to tap the screen everytime.
Man, that OST really hits hard
Another awesome video! Your comedy is really funny! Keep it up.
Glad people still remember the Rush games. Seriously Sega was knocking it out of the park with handheld games. They rarely ever released a bad one. Yeah the bottomless pits in some games were annoying, but I liked the challenge.
When a 2005 DS game with text box cutscenes has more personality and better character development than the 2006 next gen game with high ambition, you done shat your pants!
Garrulous:this is the best 2D sonic game ever
Sonic mania: allow me to introduce myself
That boss music though so much HYPE
Upsetti spahgetti.
This was my very first real video game. It also stands as not only my favorite sonic game but my absolute favorite video game of all time. I find myself listening to the soundtrack consistently, and being able to just blast through the levels with that bopping sound track is a goddamn delight. I replay this game consistently almost to a religious level. Now I see how nostalgia works.
It's great to see Sonic Rush getting some recognition these days by the younger gamers.
I think the Sonic Rush trilogy are some of the best Sonic games to date, but are often ignored or skipped by many Sonic fans today.
It's given us great 2D gameplay, along with Sonic Advance series, despite many saying the last great 2D games were on the Genesis.
Anyways, great video!
13:58 Wow didn’t think I’d hear THAT in a Sonic video.
7:58 the hand. he survived it.
he survived the instant kill hand
what black magic is this?
Wrapped in Black is my favorite song from this game, and it is DOPE
A man of culture.
underated masterpiece
Sonic rush was the first sonic game I’ve ever played, this *really* sets off my nostalgia
Sonic rush in two words: YEAH ,OK
This man actually just mentioned Mega Man Star Force 2 tho 😎
0:45 But just as the old saying(?) goes: "It's not bad, you just suck at it."
Yo! I remember loving Rush! I didn't know there was a sequel! Now I gotta go play it lol
Bro, Rush Adventure, Colors DS, and Generations 3DS, all Rush sequels (from a gameplay perspective)
Well dang. Guess I know what I'm doing for the next week lol
Kinds funny because I didn't realise that the sequel was a sequel and now need to play the first one
Hi, Garrulous64. I remember playing the original Sonic Rush when I had my own Nintendo DS as a Christmas gift back in 2008. It was raining back on Christmas Day 2008 where I live.
So, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but did you ever do a video on Sonic Advance 3?
1:18 “But were not here to talk about that.. yet
Me: Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
0:29
Your supposed to hit the subscribe button than the bell
I can’t believe I didn’t think of this. I’ll fix it for the next one 😂
@@andrewwdavvid glad to help
Back when I still had Sonic Rush, there was this one part in Night Carnival where you can only pass it by performing so many stunts at just the right moment that I had trouble passing just that one stage because of it. Now I don't even know where I have the game
"that's big cause I don't even like steak" killed me lol
As a kid, I went back and forth between Blaze and Sonic because who wouldn't want to mix things up? I found Blaze to be easier since she could hover and had no special stages. My goodness, it took months for me to beat the game because of that 7th stage! I'm grateful this game introduced Blaze; she's my one of my favorite characters of all time.
The soundtrack is Godsent 🙏
What happened to the sonic advanced 3 review?
This game was a breath of fresh air at the time, and somewhat of a hidden gem now.
I know you do Sonic reviews & other reviews because you do a lot of things but did you ever want to do Sonic Advance 3?
I noticed when you didn’t mention boosting in Boss fights, and I don’t know if someone else has already said it, But if you do a spin dash and jump into the air and hold the direction that you want to go when you hit the ground, you’ll full on BLAST across the ground
That final boss was superb. Easily one of the best fights in the entire series.
Legend has it that Blaze is still lost in space to this day.
Eventually, Blaze stopped thinking.
Alright i'm starting to think this is a reference to something since i've seen it twice now
I love Mirage Road. It’s such an open stage with so many paths.
Funny story for me for this one technically this is my first Sonic game and the songs were so catchy I heard them even when I turn 2DS off and it kind of frightened me when I was a kid
Do you guys know how blaze does that homing attack in the Bossfight? Well I could swear on my goddamn life that I did it once in the middle of the game when I was playing through the 3rd stage on one of those battle rooms with blaze. It happened once and it never happened again. Please tell me that someone else has experience this.
I remember coming back to play this game many years after playing it (it was my childhood)
I also remember looking at the my times on about every level and thinking “How the hell did little kid me pull that off?”
Favorite level I like is Huge Crisis. Especially the song, Jeh Jeh Rocket. That song is a banger!
Water palace is one of my favorites, mainly because of Back 2 Back.
Come to think of it, the ost was definitely my favorite part of the game.
11:11 Is that you, HR-H?
Also I’m happy someone talks about sonic rush in 2020 :D
3:05 Blaze tosses the Sol Emerald into the air like Shadow does with a Chaos Emerald in SA2.
This man is a legend 💪
10:52 "Blaze was not the Impostor."
God I love Sonic Rush it's the general that made me a Sonic fan. I first got the game when I was 10 sometime in the year 2010. At that time my mom had bought my aunt (who is just 2 years older than me so she was more like my older sister than my aunt) and me 3 D's games they were zoo tycoon 2, a weird Ben 10 game, and Sonic Rush. Me and my aunt made a bet to see who would be the first one to play that Ben 10 game since we were both big fans of the show, I won that bet but that Sonic Rush caught my eye with this blue porcupine, at that time I had never heard of Sonic before so I was completely new to the franchise. I decide after a few minutes of playing the Ben 10 game that I would play Sonic Rush and I couldn't put the game down it was so fun. It took me forever to get the seventh chaos emerald the first time that I would best the game and get taunted for not having all the emeralds. I went through 2 ds when I finally got all the emeralds. One day I lent Sonic Rush to my cousin along with Mario Kart DS and New Super Mario Bros, my then took my games and never gave them back, I was heart broken because he tool my favorite game at the time Sonic Rush along with those other games. Eventually I would buy another copy of all those games but the one that took me the longest to get was Sonic Rush but I finally got the game last week which I played and beat it the same day I got it. I was afraid that the game wouldn't hold up now that I'm older and more experienced with games but the game holds up well but I did notice that at least during the F zone boss that the game would drop frames hard during certain attacks making it hard to dodge those attacks but other than that the game is fantastic. Also my favorite music track in the game is the special stage song 'wrapped in black'.
In both sonic rush games, during boss fights if you spin dash then jump and run you'll go much faster.
So we have Rush, Rush Adventure but would you call Colours DS Part of the Rush series?
Same gameplay, so yeah. Generations 3DS as well.
fun fact: this game has the best soundtrack of any sonic game
hideki naganuma obviously didn't *rush* to get the soundtrack made, you can tell from the quality of each and every song on it.
0:29
I've never played Sonic Rush.
I owned Sonic Colors on the DS, though! It was pretty good! :)
1:01 also he said the line guys hole hecc
Heh he said doodoo
Sonic rush and sonic rush adventure are my favorite sonic game of all time
Never even Played Sonic Rush, but I *have* played The 3DS Generations, so I can legally say Water Palace. ‘Back 2 Back’ is a bop.
9:00 I have to go now, my planet needs me
Love your vids
i was talking to my friend on discord, and when he heard Garrulous say "Dr. Eggman Nega" He was like "what did he just call Mr. Eggdude?"
QOTD: blazes casino stage for the music and sonics altitude limit
Garrulous: What's your favorite Sonic Rush Levels?
Me: LITERALLY ALL OF THEM!!!
Are you still gonna review Sonic Advance 3
You know I was convinced this game was a fever dream I had when I was 6 guess I gotta replay it now that it allegedly is a real game
Water Palace is one of my favorite's and idc if it was a water level because that song slaps
10:53 This honestly would´ve made a great among us joke/reference, but it was before the game even blew up lmao
First Sonic game I played and I think it’s the best imo.
first of all i need a gif of this sonic dancing and second: that dancing sonic made my day last *3:23*
Sonic rush was my first sonic game and I love it
I believe this is one of the first, if the the first Sonic game I ever played or at least owned; my childhood memories are pretty hazy, so I don't know for sure if it was Rush or Generations 3DS (yes, weirdly enough, I played that before the proper Generations, which I didn't play until last year), or maybe even something else. Either way, I loved this game as a kid, and I still do now, although despite that, I didn't beat it until this year; I think the two main reasons were that I didn't have a lot of interest in this game for a while, and I really sucked at it. However, I ordered Rush Adventure off eBay in March 2020, so I decided to finally beat Sonic Rush before it came; this meant playing as Blaze for the first time in years, which I was originally dreading because of the thought of doing the special stages again (which after failing the seventh one as many times as I did was not a pleasant thought), but then I realized I got the Sol Emeralds by just beating the bosses, which meant all I had to do by that point was play Blaze's campaign to the end, since I had all of the Chaos Emeralds, and I would be on my way to the true final boss.
