Ranking Every 3D Sonic Game 

Unleashed is incredibly polished and easily the best game in the series imo

Unleashed was slow at so many points, but honestly it felt so worth it making to the final boss. Then the final boss killed me so many times that I couldn’t finish the game XD Looking back still worth it for those day time stages and bosses before the final boss!

Honestly I feel unleashed is 50% night and 50% day. It just depends on who plays it because night stages take 2-7 minutes to beat for me.

Unleashed is one of those games where it requires you to master the stages in order for it to be fun And this is coming from someone who's had this game since launch, ever since I was a little kid. On a first playthrough, it can be brutal. Especially the werehog and medals. But if you take the time to master the combo list and properly upgrade the Werehog, it's a really fun brawler, and the day stages are so satisfying if you can get a smooth run with an S rank.

Honestly, I really like the treasure hunting levels in SA2. It's not just waiting for your radar to blink, it's memorizing the level elements and using the hints to track down the exact location as fast as possible.

I'm not a sonic fan but sonic unleashed Is a great game overall the levels are pretty fun The music is great.

Great list and great video! I hope your doing well! I haven’t seen you in a long time! Your the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My main problem with the night stages in unleashed is how it doesn't force you to pull off different combos- which leads to people doing the same move over and over- and then blaming the game for having "boring combat".

Been a while since I caught one of your videos but congrats on 40k. My best 3D Sonics are a pretty generic answer. Colours and Generations. I like Adventure 1 despite some ageing. The rest I could do without.

Thanks for this! U have the best ranking videos I have ever seen on social media!

Great list! Mainly disagreed with Sonic Unleashed but I can agree with the other placements, here’s my list including SD Unleashed and 3DS Lost World: 13: Sonic 06 (Definitely not a shocker) 12: Secret Rings 11: Black Knight 10: Forces 9: 3DS Lost World 8: Wii U Lost World 7: SD Unleashed 6: Colors 5: Heroes 4: Adventure 1 3: Adventure 2 2: HD Unleashed 1: Generations (The top 2 are mainly tied) Also if you included Shadow the Hedgehog as a 3D Sonic game, it would probably be near Forces

Sonic Adventure 2 will probably always be my favorite sonic game. Generations is a very close second. I don’t like the knuckles and rouge stages, but I love the sonic and shadow stages and enjoy the mech stages. What puts SA2 above Generations for me is the story and chao world. Why has the chao world never returned? It’s awesome, and even as an adult, I still love it

Not gonna lie, i actually have a bit of a soft spot for Forces. It's the first Sonic game I ever played, as i didn't really get into the series until quarantine, and because of that i didn't really have any expectations going into it and ended up finding it pretty enjoyable because of it. Of course now, having played many other Sonic games, i know that Forces really doesn't hold up against them. But, since it was my first one, rather than being disappointed by it I just see it as letting me appreciate the other games more. Also, very happy to see that most people agree that Generations is one of the best games in the series. That game is awesome. I just wish the final boss was a bit better

Great job on this Sonic Video 💪🏿🌀🌀🌀

The cutscenes in Sonic Adventures are beyond legendary, I mean the amount of RU-vid poops based on them is amazing

Oh I’ve waited for this video!

11: Sonic 06 10: Sonic and The Secret rings 9: Sonic Forces 8: Sonic Lost world 7: Sonic and The Black Knight 6: Sonic Colours 5: Sonic Adventure 1 4: Sonic Heroes 3: Sonic Adventure 2 2: Sonic Generations 1: Sonic Unleashed

Honestly? I loved Unleashed night mode. It made me feel like I was playing a Yakuza game but with Sonic instead.

I have sonic unleashed since i was a kid for the ps2. It's a great game. I enjoy both the day and night stages. It just feels so damm satisfying when beating up the enemies in the night stages. The music is great. And damm those cinematic are awsome and make the sonic movies look like nothing.

Great video! My favourite Sonic 3D game is Sonic Heroes.

It's great to see the subscriber count up at 43k, rather that down at 16.4k

Congratulations on 40k subscribers

Sonic lost world is also on the 3ds, and most of the levels are very different. It’s the only one I have experience with but I liked it

Awesome video dude! Where would you put sonic frontiers on the list?

Halfway through and the fact you have Unleashed below Lost World is crazy to me lmao. To each their own tho.

amazing video, can you also rank the mario and lulgi series as well

Great list perfect to say the least

ITS FINALLY HERE

1. I 100% agree with everything you said about Unleashed. I never understood all the hate it got. Sure the Werehog levels felt like they took a long time, but imo, it was an interesting change of pace. Seriously, until Generations came out, I haven't had so much fun playing a Sonic game since Heroes. 2. Speaking of Heroes, while I WILL admit that it's a mess as I'm looking back on it, it was (imo) what I think a Sonic game should be like: Fast paced and quick on your toes. I also liked the idea of having to think of the best and quickest way(s) to beat your enemies and I like games like that. 3. My reasons for preferring SA2 over SA1 is the story and "high speed linear action", but mainly the character development for everyone, especially Shadow. I was 16 when SA2 came and from the moment I saw Shadow, I instantly loved him. Back then, he had such a mysterious vibe and I LOVED it.

The reason I place SA2 higher than SA1 is because the playable characters, despite only have 3 gameplay styles instead of 6 like in SA1, feel much more fleshed out with far more to do. Sonic Adventure 1 clearly revolved mainly around Sonic with the other characters feeling like an afterthought, with much shorter or fewer levels. The characters get half the amount of game time at most that Sonic gets with characters like Tails, and hardly a quarter of it with characters like Amy. This sucks cause, with the exception of Big (and I really don't like that Big is in this game), these characters are super fun to play with. If SA1 let you play as all the characters in Sonic's stages then that would make up for it, but they don't. You can mod the PC version to do it, and it's a fun time. I consider SA1 a good game that should have been great but they didn't utilize it's full potential when developing it. SA2 is a solid package that both improves and unfortunately worsens a few aspects of SA1 and the treasure hunting took a long time to get used to but I like that game so much more now because it feels so much more complex than SA1. Mad Space is genuinely a terrible level, however.

Awesome video

So, how frustrating was it having to type “Colours” as “Colors” when creating the script? ;) Also, great list. I’ve still yet to play Generations, but I started with the Adventure era on the GameCube, so they hold a special place for me. - Kyle

When Pumpkin Hill played, I got worried Sonic Adventure 2 wouldn’t be close to number one

bro wth sonic unleashed is so good. aside from that it's a good list. i really liked it. keep up the good content!

Sonic lost world has a 3DS version, it has less stages I think, but you can unlock super sonic through special stages and utilizes wisps

The night levels in Unleashed were pretty fast for me. Also, oh no! I hate it when there's story filler so that I can learn about characters, motivations, and the world! It sucks when people actually take time to tell their story!

Just a quick question, what happened to BrambleGaming? Since you did a Mario galaxy Collab with him

7:56 only 3d sonic game I’ve played it was amazing and to think there’s even better

i agree with u on unleashed i love the day time stages and that’s why i play sonic generations unleashed project but the night time stages are brutal that’s just my opinion

Everybody in Sonic Adventure be like.Never am I ever playing the big the cat levels

One thing that I criticized Sonic Unleashed Day Stages. It’s the difficulty especially first time playing

You should rank every 2D fighting like Rivals of Aether, Nickelodeon Brawl Stars, Multiversus, ect

Yo, that planet you were on in the intro with the three suns...how's rent there?

Sonic Lost World also has a PC port and a 3DS version.

Unleashed day were amazing

The intro where you chose the worst 3d sonic was *chefs kiss*

I played the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed, so I didn't have to deal with the QuickTime mini games or the hub worlds. (And it does have a level select =D)

Honestly, play the ps2/wii version of Unleashed. It may not be as graphically impressive but gameplay wise it is far more enjoyable due to it being more streamlined and simplified.

I’d agree with this list more if colors and unleashed were switched

As someone who grew up with the PS2 version of Unleashed, I liked that version and that it excels over the HD in some areas. No forced medal collecting as in the PS2 version it's just for collecting goodies in Gaia Gates. Eggmanland, dreadful and too too long in the HD one, is split into several mini missions. The night levels are basically 3 to 5 mini levels at like 8 min at most from my experience as opposed to like 30 min on the HD version. Graphically the HD one is better but I think both versions are fine. The werehog concept and execution sucked ass tho. I hated that. Who asked for sonic with combat? He's about speed. You can replace the night levels with Knuckles brawler levels and it would be way better. I still think Unleashed is a 50/50 game at best, a game that has more flaws than goods.

maybe it's cause I played it last on an emulator but I really enjoyed sonic and the black night using my ps5 controller. I also thought the story was actually strangely well written for the concept given

I’m curious if you put shadow the hedgehog where would you rank it?

Infinite Bits: *Sonic is too fast in Unleashed* Also Infinite Bits: *Classic Sonic is super fast*

🔥 list 👌

My list: 11: Sonic Lost World 10: Sonic And The Secret Rings 9: Sonic And The Black Knight 8: Sonic Adventure: DX 7: Sonic Colors 6: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle 5: Sonic Heroes 4: Sonic Forces 3: Sonic Frontiers 2: Sonic Unleashed 1: Sonic Generations

love how at the begeining, he uses my favroit sonic song reach for stars

What could’ve made secret rings better was you would have a option to use motion control or plug in your nunchuck so you can move sonic with the joystick anywhere instead of just using the remote solo

I am under the honest to god belief that Secret Rings and even Black Knight could be AWESOME with modern controls. Cut out all the experimental motion BS and you're left with a solid story, great music and possibly awesome movement!

I would like everyone to know this is his opinion not a fact it's his enjoyment of each game

I really like generations and adventure 2, my favorite games and I have both! It’s only my opinion but I’d have placed them 1st and 2nd

You should have tried the PS2/Wii version. I had a lot of fun with it and I honestly think that although it is considered the "secondary" version, it is still the most balanced and I'm not really in the mood to describe more of the game right now, but I can tell you this: none of those problems you mention actually exist in that version, only the graphics are obviously simpler and the game design is more adjusted to the respective consoles aswell (so you may like the day stages less if you compare with the better-console version), but you probably will like the night stages more (I personally do like them much, much more).

personally i cant agree with unleashed for 2 reasons, 1. it was below sonic lost world, 2. i don't think the levels are too fast. in fact i feel they're perfect speeds because it allows replayability in the sense that you learn the level and then the satisfaction of speeding through these locations without hitting anything to stop you

I heard about a remake of Sonic 06 that people are making called project 06 you should try it.

I cant trust anyone who ranks colors this high lol

Dude really ranked Colors and Lost World over Unleashed ☠️☠️☠️☠️

06 sure has a reputation

9:58 After the initial mechanics hurdle of game I quite enjoyed it alongside Sonic Unleashed...and of course Sonic Adventure!

I was hurt deeply when u put lost world above unleashed

Great video and list I’ve only played lost world so far and it’s amazing game but the story and charectars are kinda trash

Unleashed is The greatest man. ACCEPT IT

Hey infinite bits, now you did Mario games, and sonic games, why don’t you now do the Mario and sonic at the Olympic Games ranking video

i loved the treasure hunt stages

"Unleashed lvl are to fast" Lmao

The black knight disrespect will not be excused....

note: THIS GUY LOVES FORCES

Which version of sonic frontiers should I get the switch version or the Xbox version I need at least five comments to tell me which one I should get

Hmmm, I'd probably swap the placements for Lost World and Heroes purely on the basis that 'uneven difficulty and control quirks' seems way less damning than 'control is wildly imprecice and basic gameplay doesn't fucking work half the time.'

Have you tried the unleashed wii version

I liked the plot/music, and...the darker more mature tone! I still would put it last place in Sonic 3D!

I’ve LOVED Sonic forces literally JUST for the music

Sonic Unleashed is too fast? That’s a ridiculous thing to say. Is Skyrim too open world? Is Dead Space too scary? Is Doom too awesome? Unleashed is easily my favorite.

Sonic 06 at last, i would have never guessed

Sonic Adventure 3 could be peak 3D Sonic if it has the linear structure of Sonic Adventure 2 (no hub worlds), but with the character selection of Sonic Adventure 1 where you just play through the entire game as that character with no fluff/filler in between. They could just have Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy as the hero characters, and then have Shadow, Eggman, Rouge, and Omega for the dark characters. And as for playstyles: Sonic and Shadow would have their speed levels. Tails and Omega would have more open levels all about explorations where they can use their flight abilities to get around the place. Knuckles and Rouge would have their treasure hunting levels. Eggman would have the mech shooting, but he would use different machines depending on the level. Amy's levels could be more puzzle focused, and she would use her hammer of course.

I’m curious: where would you rank Shadow The Hedgehog?

11 Forces 12 Lost world 9 06 8 Heroes 7 Sa1 6 Colors 5 Secret rings 4 Sa2 3: Black knight 2: Generations 1: Unleashed

I am a lost world defender but I’d personally never put it over unleashed. I respect it tho lol

The way he was like "Sonic 06"

just to let you know also lost worlds was also on 3ds and pc

The fact I wrote a comment about this idea like a year ago lol

1. Generations 2. Unleashed 3. Adventure 4. Adventure 2 5. Colours 6. Lost World 7. Heroes 8. 06 9. Black Knight 10. Forces 11. Secret Rings

NO, NOT EVERYONE JUST LIKE THE DAY STAGES. I personally LOVE THE NIGHT STAGES AND THE WEREHOG GAMEPLAYS STYLE. Sonic unleashed is the best sonic game (MY OPINION) SONIC UNLEASHED IS ONE OF THE BEST SONIC GAMES (FACT)

Sonic Frontiers hype, anyone? Where you think that'll land on this list?

11:36 🐐🐐🐐🐐

I played lost world on 3ds and I have a bias for it.

Sonic 3D blast should have been included.

15:00 also you do actually have to beat all the stories to complete the game

I thought he was gonna be an npc and put sa2 in top 2 but he didn't big respect

today? YAY

Okay, here's my ranking(I'm including Shadow the hedgehog): 12: Forces(too boring and failed hype when the premise was so interesting, that's the worst bit about the game for me) 11: Lost World(never played it, it doesn't look that bad, but it isn't a must buy either) 10: Shadow the hedgehog(while the gameplay is better, this story is ass and drags on way too long) 9: Secret Rings(I have nostalgic memories with this one, but it controls badly and the mission structure not guiding you on what missions to do got frustrating very quickly) 8. Colours(I can see the anger coming, but no, this game is dull and it has one of the worst stories in a Sonic game and the gameplay gets extremely repetitive, its also too easy) 7: Black Knight(Secret Rings done right, but unfortunately its too short, love the story and characters though) 6: Generations(has a similar issue, good gameplay and a whole bunch of content especially on PC, but its too short and easy, coupled with a nothing plot, still a good game) 5: Heroes(did it get old a bit playing it 4 times to finish it, yes but the game is too fun for me to care, also thank you for letting me just repeatedly kill Amy and Big every time, after SA1 it felt too satisfying to murder them so frequently poor Cream though, anyway great game but shit special stages) 4: SA1(the original, hell this fucking game is older than I am, but I still enjoy it, its aged a bit, but I still have a good time with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Gamma, the others are not fun at all, but they're too short to bitch about entirely) 3: Sonic 06(I'm expecting flames for this being so high up, do I care? No. This game has a piss poor story, we can all agree there, but it is not the glitchy mess everyone says, that and it has the best gameplay for Shadow in the entire series, he has the best story in this game, but Sonic and Silver are still good) 2: SA2(while the end of both stories can get extremely frustrating, eternal engine, mad space, crazy gadget and final chase can all fuck themselves, I still enjoy the rest of this game, that and Knuckles is at his absolute peak here, we need the Jamaican inspiration back dammit, anyway, top tier game, I enjoy the shooting and treasure hunting stuff, speed is fun) 1: Unleashed(you seen my comments on other Sonic shit, you saw this coming a mile away, best Sonic game of all time by far, my favourite and that I doubt will change, love the day levels, love the night levels, the plane stuff isn't bad, the hub worlds are interesting and the medals were easy for me to deal with, I just love this game, bosses were really fun as well) Bit long winded, but I'm open to a different opinion.

So I accidentally only played the two best sonic 3D games
