Play as Metal Sonic & Robotnik?! - Sonic Madness 

-Hey this game was pretty sweet. Should I do another episode?! Also, we are at 481k subs. If we get 19 more we hit 1/2 a million?!?!?! CRAZY. Thank you ALL for watching and being part of BTG. #youALLrock

Also, the plane you mentioned being Tails' plane? It's called the Tornado, and it's not actually Tails' plane, it's actually Sonic's, he just lets Tails pilot it. Probably so Sonic himself doesn't crash it by accident. As Sonic mentions early in Sonic Adventure 1, that Tails is not one to let the plane crash, and the only reason Tails had the Tornado crash at the beginning of Adventure 1, was because Tails was trying to learn how to properly have the plane harness the power of a Chaos Emerald as fuel, which, as you can tell by this comment by how I described that early event of the game, the experiment ended in failure on test flight for it.

I don't think you noticed this, but there's shines around the stages that alter Metal Sonic's abilities. They also change his shoe color to signify the change. In that Casino Night like zone, they were green and let you glide.

That’s actually really cool! I love this rom hack! I want an episode 2!

I think the whole drowning mechanic with metal is due to him being a robot. while he cannot breath as he has no lungs, he needs the air to keep his circuits from getting damaged by the water. that’s also probably why he drowns much quicker than sonic.

10:33: That's Eggman's Theme from Sonic Adventure 2.

btw Darby, the Eggman song that played in the video preview intro of this video, is from Sonic Adventure 2. Furthermore, Dr. Eggman was only known as Robotnik in western areas of the world, in Japan, he was always known as Eggman, they never called him Eggman in Japan. Supposedly, the reason he used to be known as Dr. Robotnik, was because SEGA feared they'd get hit with copyright infringement for using the name Eggman, as someone else was already using that name for one of heir characters. After that was no longer an issue, in Sonic Adventure 1, in the international version, they made-up a way to canonically rename him to Dr. Eggman, to make his name the same name as in Japan. By having Eggman as a nickname Sonic and friends decided to call him by, out of trying to insult him. Also, if for some reason you're hesitant to play the Sonic Adventure games because of Modern Sonic (I don't remember if you've played either Sonic Adventure games), just know, the Sonic in the Sonic Adventure games, is neither Classic nor Modern Sonic. The Sonic in Sonic Adventure 1 and Sonic Adventure 2, is some weird case of being a kind of Sonic between Classic and Modern Sonic. He LOOKS like Modern Sonic, but he isn't actually, as he still retains some aspects of Classic Sonic. Such as the Spindash and Spin Attack, something much later Sonic games would ditch entirely in favor of the Boost mechanic. Eggman is still preferring to be called Dr. Robotnik in Sonic Adventure 1, despite Sonic and friends wanting to mock him by giving him the nickname Eggman, if you need any further proof of Sonic Adventure's Sonic being a weird middle point between the Classic and the Modern Sonic, and not just being Modern Sonic. Also, I'm not mad at you for still calling him Robotnik, I just needed to put this out there to make a point using facts of the Sonic franchise. You can call Eggman what you want, I don't really have a problem with it, and I only spelled a single word in all caps, because I was trying to put more feeling into the point I was making. As some Sonic fans don't know some of the facts I stated in this comment. Some Classic Sonic fans won't even try the great (but heavily flawed) Sonic Adventure games because Sonic Adventure Sonic looks like Modern Sonic while he still retains some aspects of Classic Sonic and Sonic Adventure's Eggman in Sonic Adventure 1 still preferring to be called Dr Eggman (even though he named his flying ship the Egg Carrier, though I think he did that in response that Sonic and friends refusing to call him Dr Robotnik any longer

Great video as always, a sequel or even whole series would be great. I usually say Robotnik, sounds nicer. < You played as the villains!!! Well OmoChao, if we did you would have been playable. < . . . 😢

6:15 I feel like metal drowning would have made more sense if like, he was sparking with electricity like in SRB2 because thats a really cool way to go about it.

Clutch air bubble saving a robot from drowning. Makes as much sense as flying using two fox tails I guess

I really like the underwater stages! Especially the scary drowning music.

Considering W is a short OO, one appearing in "fuel" where OO is followed by a vowel is pretty natural.

As cool as Metal Sonic is, I can't get enough of Robotnik. The voice, the run, the funny death animation, it all makes me laugh. The snow at the end was also awesome looking too, they need to do more snow levels for Sonic games 100.% Looking forward to a fan making the 1000 loopy loop super fun game in the future.

Honestly i like every single time a water section was used in a sonic, exept the 1 time in labyrinth 3 it's boss in sonic, but that's not because of the water but because it's practicly impossible to hit eggman 8× before he escapes, i do like even labyrinth zone itself though

This is pretty much like we're playing from Metal Sonic's perspective. It's pretty cool!!!

The first level boss is the version of Silver Sonic that appears in the Game Gear/Master System version of Sonic 2. I can’t blame you for not knowing about it. Not that many people played that in the grand scheme of things compared to the Genesis one.

The song at the beginning proves Eggman has a really big ego

Hey, I watched this video and enjoyed it! I really would like to see a second episode cause this is such a cool game! Interesting playing as bad guys! What fun!

Metal sonic doesn’t exactly has lungs way I see it is the air bubbles he intakes pushes the water out of his systems to keep his parts from getting water logged and short circuit.

This game seems fun, heh, like, there was once where like I imagined a rom hack of Sonic 2 like where you are Metal Sonic and collect like batteries, animals or discs instead of rings and have Jetpack Robotnik instead of Tails and like defeat animals, but yeah this also is a pretty good hack, it just sucks that as Eggman you cannot jump on enemies, but apart from that, it's awesome, you could do an episode 2, heh.

hello darby without watching the video I knew this was going to be a blast. thanks for the video. Also you should try sonic battle for the GBA

I LOVE your videos every time you sing the music and go "DANG IT?!" it fills everyone in joy...or embarrassment

Hey Darby! I recently found out there's an old 8-bit version of Sonic on the original Master System which is different from the Genesis release, like the Chaos Emeralds are within the levels instead of in bonus areas? Crazy. Thought you might be interested in giving that a try, I'd love to see the whole game played and it seems extremely up your alley.

If you ever play 3D Sonic games, there's a mod loader for the Steam version of Sonic Adventure 2 that randomizes what character you play as, which can be really cool if you get someone who can fly in a Sonic or Shadow stage but can be very chaotic and hard if you get Eggman, specifically the regular Eggman and not the one in the robot.

This is like when Robotnik tells knuckles about his story

I like saying eggman (also he wasn't technically called robotnik in the classic games, when sonic 1 was sent over to america to be localized, they changed his name to robotnik, when in japan, he was called Eggman (the games were made in Japan, and the games released first in America. It's also where the spike glitch from Sonic 1 comes from)

Another good thing about the bubbles is that you could instantly pick them up, and not have to jump when they get to the biggest.

Metal Sonic needs lungs so that he’s ready to yell at OmoChao at a moment’s notice, in pretty much the same way you do.

The above ground part of marble surface zone does remind me of Marble zone in Sonic The Hedgehog, the under water area reminds me of Scrap Brain Zone. I watched the video and I loved it! Would be wonderful to see a part 2

I didn’t know that you can play as Metal Sonic the Hedgehog and EggMan.😎🥳🤩Awesome!!!😎🥳🤩👍🏾👏🏾

Having to worry about air in a platformer underwater is actually something that I do enjoy so that’s why I do like the water levels in sonic because you have to worry about air and not just how fast I can go through this water without even touching the surface like in Mario games except for the 3-D ones

I love this game's concept of making you play as Metal Sonic in Act 1 and Eggman in Act 2.

Metal sonic doesn't need air because he has lungs. He's clearly running on internal combustion.

Here's what I do: The Guy from the Games? Thats Eggman. The Guy from the TV series/Movies? That's Robotnik!

6:18 actually it does make sense because metal sonic has an engine that powers his rocket booster and engines need oxygen or in this case air flow and if under water, metal sonic only have a limited amount time before his engine dies out due to the lack of air flow, unlike other badniks that are specialized for those environments.

I also think it's sad that Robotnik didn't have a funny animation for when he runs out of jetpack.

A probable reason why metal sonic needs air is that the internal parts is not supposed to get wet

Metal Sonic and eggman just love each other and well I don't know why it's so weird?!? (;

when you said ’super bowser world’ i immediantly began tearing up i watched some of the episodes but soon i forgot about it😢

Darby's channel is so good, I’ve started watching him like a year ago and he was very interesting so soon I subscribed and liked his videos since then! great channel Darby, hope you get 1M subs.

Robotnik and Eggman were seperate characters in Sonic Adventure 2, Dr. Ivo Robotnik was Dr. Eggmans grandfather in that story

that Eggman theme remix in Marble Surface Zone really got me off guard never thought of hearing this song in this style I also think Eggman can attack enemies with that shield, you should try that in next episode

That underwater stuff.. I could go never seeing an underwater Sonic level again and I'm sure it wouldn't bother me a bit. Lol. True about Sonic games getting some good tracks, the hype of boss fights, bonus areas.. some slappin' beats indeed.

Just from the intro i love this! Also, i say Eggman more!

Wow this is a great rom hack getting to play as Robotnik and metal sonic and you should play more of this Darby it would be epic to see another episode. I really liked the levels because they were interesting and awesome and I really liked the sound track and voice overs absolutely amazing

Eggman is the nickname for Dr.Robotnik in the US however in Japan Robotnik's name is Eggman

My siblings love and I mean LOVE your RU-vid channel. and they love Mario and sonic games.

Nice!!!! You really like sonic fan games!

I would love to see an episode two!!😀

The first boss that is the White Metal Sonic the Hedgehog from Sonic the Hedgehog Madness that was on EggMan’s Mobile was name Robo Sonic the Hedgehog.😎

Thanks so much for the fun darby!

10:32 that song is from SA2 and I love it as much as I would love an episode 2!

It's funny how we went from just a practically only a Mario RU-vidr to a Sonic RU-vidr

This fangame is awsome! I would love an 2nd episode.

This seems like such a cool game! You should definitely do another episode! Congrats on nearly half a million subs! You deserve so many more dude. Keep up the great work 🙂

It's pretty nice know you get to play as Sonic's worst enemies!

The only water stage i like is water palace from sonic rush. The music is a banger!

Metal probably needs oxygen for his fuel

There's a rom hack I could recommend. Well, it's actually a series of rom hacks I guess. They add Amy Rose in the classic Sonic games and she uses the same moveset as the one in Sonic Advance, a game you're already familiar with. Usually I would link them, but I already tried that twice and RU-vid deleted my comment both times, so you'll have to look them up yourself. Just search for Amy Rose in Sonic 1; Amy Rose in 2 and Sonic 3 & Amy Rose. Have fun!

The first boss kinda makes me think of Silver the Hedgehog

So many sonic fangames to play - So little time. Would you agree, BTG?

Also, haha, nice 4th wall break at the end card of the video, Eggman is walking on the box that contains the video playlist on the right. I find 4th wall breaks funny and entertaining, when they aren't so overused that it's done all the time, or overused to the point they do it every few seconds throughout the entire thing. Also, if you want the name of that Eggman song it's: "E.G.G.M.AN." I'm not kidding, that's the song's actual name. That has as little creativity for a name as the password to enter the Egg Carrier's Chao Garden

I love metal sonic, he's my favourite character. Please make another episode! :D

That's an interessting perspective to play as the "villan".

13:35 ok, my fangame in progress, EASTER EGG: B T G on tittlescreen

21:05 - The game would be called, "Sonic Throws Up, a Lot".

Also the green lights give you knux glide Awesome!

Yeah. I like water levels:) Labyrinth Zone is Awsome in my opinion, though Hydrocity is better and.. Yeah! By the way Great Video Darby!

This is awesome!! Keep it up Darby

I checked your discord BTG this is how im here. IM GONNA WATCH YOUR DISCORD EVERYDAY.

10:33 Reminds me of the eggmobile from Sonic OVA

The small Silver Sonic at the beginning is Silver Sonic from the game gear Sonic 2. He’s also known as Mecha Sonic MK0, and the one from Genesis is MK1. They have the same mechanics basically.

I am the Eggman song comes from Sonic Adventure 2. That is Robotnik's/Eggman's theme Sonic Adventure 2 you hear it on the Dark Story side cut scene where Sonic hits the top of the Egg Golem and causes it to malfunction.

Is cool. Almost looks like an oficial game, good music and levels. I want part two!!

Also, that other robot Sonic you defeated as the first boss of this fangame, is the robot Sonic you fight in I think Sonic Mania, before fighting Metal Sonic

I say both Eggman and Robotnik, depending on the context. If I'm playing a classic game, I say Robotnik. If I'm playing a modern game, I say Eggman. If I'm anywhere near my niece, I say Eggman because she doesn't understand that Robotnik and Eggman are the same. If I'm watching a movie, I call him Robotnik because he's not fat enough in the movies to be called Eggman

Hey BTG, the start of the game's first song was from Sonic 4:Ep. II, the first act of Death Egg.

Metal sonic can drown because electricity an water doesn't mix well

My favorite part of Mario odyssey was the part when you captured Bowser that was the funniest moment they always replay the boss so I could just play that.

Metal sonic is an organic robot

the first boss the silver sonic looking kinda thing is the metal sonic boss's minions in sonic mania.

If there was a Metal Tails, too, well, he would snatch the air bubbles away and Metal Sonic would drown.

Should you do another episode...? SURE!!! Jajajaja. Btw, I allways call him Robotnick (because in Spain, in the cartridge's manuals is called by that name). And congratulations for the almost 1/2 million subs.!!!! In no time you'll reach (and surpass) that sume!!!! 😋😋😋

Hey, I watch this video and I like it! Also, can you make an episode 2 please?

If you like Metal Sonic game, you shoud try Metal Sonic Rebooted At least you can breathe underwater on there 6:35 Underwater level too early? Chemical Plant & Hydrocity : Are we both joke to you?

One of the popular duos in sonic classic simulator if you could team up:

I think that people who who grew up with the first Sonic Game in the USA probably call him Robotnik but will sometimes call him Eggman but still use his real name but over in Japan people that grew up with Sonic the Hedgehog game probably call him Eggman since that was Robotnik's name in Japan.

basically i would describe this fangame like if this was the dark story of sonic mania plus

Please make an episode two… I think this game is awesome, also I love any game that lets you play as the bad guy like Mario and Luigi: bowser’s inside story… also I haven’t seen you play any rpgs but have you played that?

You should do a second video of this game I really like the first one

1:17 the music is from sonic 4 episode 2 death egg mk.II act one

For no reason metal is looking for us at the airship but darby this is a cool game i really want to play this game in my Sega genesis but its actually fine

This video and mod is sick!

22:45 I use the following, though official sources may say different. Silver Sonic (Sonic Mania) Silver Sonic II (Sonic The Hedgehog 2) Metal Sonic (The one in Sonic 3 and Knuckles is Mecha Sonic.)

The only under water level that I like is Hydrocity zone from sonic 3

3:10 that is silver sonic from sonic two for the game gear

I love that the first level has the music of sonic 4 episode 2 death egg

Sonic Triple Trouble 16-Bit is a pretty awesome fangame, it's even kind of similar to this one with the gameplay that changes every once in a while. I reccomend you play it.

Regarding the song from the third level, that was actually a remixed version of Eggman's official theme music. A link to the whole normal version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CvERHiTfx9w.html (pretty much every major Sonic character has their own theme song, for the most part anyway.)

The Eggman song is an edit of a song from Sonic Adventure 2
