Knuckles Chaotix - Sonic Was Always Good

I have not found a single other person on the internet talk about this game's mechanics in depth. So for once, I actually think I may have a unique take on a Sonic game.
I know I didn't offer much criticism of the game in the video, so I'll throw in here that the level design is pretty unmemorable. In terms of layout, pretty much every single level, no matter the zone, feels identical. There's very little in the way of unique layouts and the level gimmicks don't really add much to each zone. I think the movement manages to be fun enough to carry it, but that is certainly a problem.
This was originally going to be part of another group video covering a few other games, but I had so much to say about this one that its section got too long. So now it gets its own video.
btw, does anyone know what Chaotix is supposed to mean? Is it just supposed to be a play on the word chaotic and the fact that it's for the 32X? Because there is absolutely nothing in the game or even the manuals that refers to a Chaotix in any way. And no, it's not the name of the team of characters. That concept was created for Sonic Heroes. There's no official source that tells us what Chaotix actually refers to in this game. Just a weird thing I've always wondered.

Just my thought here, probably already obvious but still. Charmy's flying isn't fun because it's given to you when you select him to play. Tether flying on the other hand is fun in the same way combos in fighting games are fun, it can only be accomplished with skill, and adds replayability in the form of wanting to push these mechanics to the limit.

I'm still not exactly sold to a point where I'd concede that the game is great, but I have never even heard or thought of all this tech you can pull off with the tether mechanic. It's really insightful stuff you're bringing to light here. And in regards to you alternating who's the heavier character in the air, the term you're looking for is "counterweight"; your team mate becomes a counterweight while in the air.

Bro after playing Sonic Superstar and then playing this game for the first time (on an emulator) is like night and day. I had fun playing Chaotix, flying around and messing with the controllers and characters and stuff. Superstar is soulless, visually bland, sounds like a slightly better Sonic 4, and plays like whatever. People who say Knuckles Chaotix is worse then Sonic Superstar are fundamentally wrong.

The nuances of the tether mechanics are quite impressive, I guess the problem however is that the game never compelled people to master them. The levels are just so empty and unintuitive, with no gimmicks that let you get to grips with the premise. It's simple enough to just exploit the tether to just cheese your way through the game with little strategy at all, when I feel like that's a sort of thing that should be made satisfying and compelling to accomplish.

@TheDbzthedgehog 2 года назад
I think Charmy's flight is a fairly balanced ability since you already have the ability to airdash for far greater strength and speed with the tether. Charmy's air mobility will naturally make it easier to control that movement with the hold mechanic in the air.

I really hope Chaotix makes it into Sonic Origins, both so it's not stuck on 32X, and so that it's easily accessible meaning more people will understand how much of a visual overload and simultaneously super underwhelming in terms of gameplay it is. The ring tether IS super cool and fun to fuck around with, but the stages are so big and empty and easy to brainlessly get through even if you ignore the ring tether. But maybe that could be part of the appeal? Like, the gameplay is super fast and momentum based, and the stages are very open and easy... oh shit is this a godlike speedrun game?
@Pariah6950
@Pariah6950 2 года назад
I've thought it would be great for speedruns. But if you look, they just use Charmy to fly past everything. I hope someone tries routing a no Charmy run or something to show off what this game can really do.

I just recently got into Sonic 1 forever and sonic 2 absolute with all the neat mod support I mean sure it might be easier to buy the stuff but you can’t play with Sally acorn sprites over sonic on the switch Quick warning A little rant down here Now I feel bad I have standards and if something doesn’t live up to those standards it’s either meh, or a dumpster fire lol I haven’t gotten around to trying p-06 but I hope to at some point More importantly I hope it gets finished bc that would also be really neat Maybe add mod support if they feel like it Also emulation Anyways I went on for way too long I’ll go ahead and let you go I don’t have anyone to relate to so I’m either really quiet or really talkative And then whenever I do talk I get tired and feel awkward and hope that I didn’t say anything Like right now It’s nice to know we’re on the same page

I remember hearing from a dude who loves ROM hacking the physics in this game are not actually the original physics code but replication WITHOUT the help of Yuji Naka This is most evident in slope jumping only working when moving in 1 direction because the game does not really know how to handle moving left, something Sonic 1 figured out

What always kept me from enjoying Chaotix has been the level design. Levels feel very samey and repetitive, especially with 5 acts, and the need for lots of walls and ceilings to accommodate the tether makes them feel claustrophobic. Maybe it's because the level themes are also really abstract, but I've never felt discomfort like I have when playing Chaotix. Even enclosed zones in other Sonic games like Metallic Madness don't evoke this feeling in me. That being said, I love the special stages. Even though the main levels don't do it for me, the special stages alone are good enough to make the game worth playing.

Tether Flying is fun because it requires skill and multiple button presses to pull off, and feels satisfying when you can consistently do it, sorta like a BLJ in Mario 64. Charmy flying isn't fun because it's easy and requires no skill, and you're able to cheese all the levels, sorta like infinite flying cheats for Tails in Sonic 3.

People always misunderstand this game, and CD because they're a bit more complicated to understand and the games don't exactly punish you if you're playing them wrong, so people can be playing them wrong and just not know they're doing anything wrong and that'll affect how they view the game, with this game it's ever more difficult though because it's harder to get your hands on it compared to CD

The stuff with the tether perfectly exemplifies how most sonic fans aren't willing to learn how to play the games with mechanics that differ from those of their preferred style. Most people really don't like this game specifically because of the tether, but if they got their head out of their asses and actually experimented with the game as intended, as opposed to just trying to play it like the other classic games despite the fact that the mechanics are inherently different, they'd probably actually enjoy the unique gameplay the tether allows for. People can have preferences over what gameplay styles and mechanics they prefer, but just because a game like this doesn't cater to the specific tastes of fans of, for example, the Adventure or Boost style, that doesn't make it a bad game. It just makes it different, and I personally feel that it's this unwillingness to actually try out the game, plus this weird definition of what Sonic is "supposed to be" that a lot of fans have that keeps games from Sonic Unleashed, which are now fairly looked at very fondly in retrospect, from getting the recognition they deserve when they come out. All because people had this idea that the Werehog "isn't Sonic" and didn't bother to actually give it a chance because of that.

I feel like the story of this game is kind of wasted potential. We don't get to see the chaotix become a team and we don't get to see the story we have to read it in the manual still. What made sense back into to Genesis limitations. It doesn't work here as this game was on the 32x.

Especially since Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles did such a good job integrating story on a less-advanced system, though I think that's the fault of having Chaotix's levels be randomized.
