Everyone can agree that in this game Sonic's friends were actually helping him... unlike in Generations where they just... stood and cheered Sonic on when he and his Classic self were seemingly defeated. "YOU CAN DO IT SONIC" "I BELIEVE IN YOU!!" *shouts at a dead unmoving Sonic*
@@Joshua05005 In SA1, the negative energies of the Chaos Emeralds were absorbed by Chaos, so the positive energies that remained were all they had left and were what Sonic used to balance out the negativity corrupting Chaos.
Avery Hilbig You can use the invisibility to make it easier. As long as you don’t go in the searchlights the Solaris eyes won’t throw things at you. Just be careful where you stop to recharge it otherwise you’ll get sucked in during the animation.
@@mariobroultimate1808 Since he was programmed by Eggman, he may also have some kind of grudge against him, but is doing this because his friends expect him to
Tail's End of the World: Empty Sounding Omega's End of the World: Metallic/ Machine Sounding Knuckle's End of the World: Angry/Confused Sounding Sliver's End of the World: Future Sounding Rouge's End of The World: Jazz/Heavy Bass Sounding Amy's End of the world: Angelic/Determined Sounding Shadow's End of the World: Rock Sounding
Tails: Empty. He's lost, Sonic has been his best friend for the longest time and now he is dead and the entire world could end. Omega: Focused. He knows Sonic the least but still wants to save him. Knuckles: Lost and Angry. He's been a friend and rival of Sonic and now things are coming to an end. Silver: Guilty. He feels guilty for being tricked by Mephiles and now wants to help save his new friend, Sonic. Rouge: Hopeful. She wants Sonic alive again and feels positive. Amy: Depressed. Her hero is now dead and the world is almost destroyed. She feels like it's over. Shadow: Revengeful. He wants to get revenge on Mephiles for killing Sonic as he doesn't want another true friend of his dying. And yes, I did copy this from another video.
@@alexandernguyen5074 no. She died. 06 canon was whiped at the end of 06. So she died in that game and was revived after all the events of the game where erased. Besides if you think about it it makes no sense for her to go to another dimension and the no one remebers who she is. Thats not how dimensional travel works my guys Sonic Rush and Donic Rivals are the canonical introductions to Blaze and Silver
I really think this game under different circumstances could’ve been one of the best Sonic games in history. The concept of a darker game is something that I always had interest in and the soundtrack, this one especially really was amazing. I hope this doesn’t discourage more dark concepts, just hopefully with more time to develop proper mechanics and better planning story wise.
@@SuzukiCabs Agreed, if anything, Frontiers perfectly captures the essence of SA1, 2 and 06, albeit without branching story arcs of the Adventure games
I despise this level..... 8 minutes in one go for this guy. I received at least 10 game overs on this section. It was so bad I literally just put the game away, said fuck it, and never touched it for a good couple of months. Then... yesterday, one of my girlfriend's friends came over. Major Sonic fan also. He had never played the end of 06, he had only played a few levels. After having a laugh with him over the Mach Speed sections in Wave Ocean, and the horrible physics in White Acropolis, I offered him a bargain. If he could beat End of the World, he would get a free Cherry Coke.... 1 game over, and then he managed to beat it. 1 fucking game over, and that was only because he was trying to figure out the controls. I never made it past Silver's section. Along this guy comes and he hammers through it in about half an hour. Truly amazed me. This guy was quite a player.
DrummerFromFife same for me with Death Egg in S 3 & K. It's undoubtedly the worst final zone with the worst final boss and I only lost to the final boss because he kept spamming his fireball attack so I couldn't hit him. Poorly designed zone
I feel like amy was the most rushed character. Amy's double jump doesn't even work and her hammer has the smallest hurt box ever and invisibility? really? also amy is only playable in one main game level and then a side mission. Blaze and shadow seem like they're the most finished characters. they don't really have any glaring flaws and they have a lot of attacks to utilize while amy only has 1. poor girl.
Honestly, if this game was remade the characters who need an overhaul the most are Amy and Omega. Amy doesn’t feel finished, and I think Omega would benefit more from a 3rd- person shooter style gameplay
6:14 amy: HAH! fire monster: ... amy: HAH! fire monster: oooh, didn't get me. try moving closer? amy: HAH! fire monster: oo, just a liiiittle bit closer... amy: HAH! fire monster, dying: good job
I wish the side characters like Knuckles and Tails could've had more action in the game because originally, they each had their own episode like in Adventure. Hopefully in the future Sega will go back to that formula.
Amy deserved a lot more screen time and (fixed) game play. Personally I would'v loved to see what Knuckle's and Omega's episodes would'v been like because they both sort of come out of nowhere in the game. There was even a planned Metal Sonic episode for the story so that would'v been cool to see as well
James Porter All that could've happened because they planned to renew this into a better version considering this version was poorly done because they didn't had time to get everything right since one of the workers had quit. But sadly the critics trash talking was going overboard which made them not to. U_U
I’d recently dug out my old copy of ‘06, and found all I had left was this stage and the final boss. I used it as kind of a tutorial, and managed to beat End of the World on my second try without any deaths! I’d been trying since 2016 to beat it, and I did it tonight! I’m glad I found this video!
Tails: Sounds like a quiet cave Omega: A little beat into it and punching sounds Knuckles: Short but sounds like a forest in the morning Silver: Takes a long time but his sounds like he's serious even know he is Rouge: Short and kinda sounds like Knuckles' theme but it sounds like over world Amy: She is super slow but it looks like her level is ice so I think she goes slower she also looks like she in an ice cave Shadow: He actually cares about Sonic now so he acts serious..... a little to serious his theme sounds like something u should focus he's also fast like Sonic but Sonic is faster.
My only problem with this game was the load times and the weird controls camera angles bugs and the fact that a human girl loved sonic which in my opinion she should have been an anthropomorphic creature like the rest of the cast overall I'd consider to be one the best sonic games
Your Elise problem shouldn't matter in your appreciation of the game imo. I don't really care about Elise being a human but that love story makes no sense and exists only because all the story falls apart without it.
This level gets a lot of flak, but I actually love it. I can never get an S-rank but I can usually get through without dying (it's usually Shadow's section that trips me up, it's not a particularly difficult section but it's often easy to accidentally run straight into one of the purple eyes)
The only way to get the S-rank is to kill minions when it's possible like the guy in the video did. Letting them die doesn't grant you points at all, and obviously don't die too.
Jet the Hawk: I'm not just gonna let you expire just yet, Sonic. We still have some unsettled scores! Wave the Swallow: I can't let you board the boat to the afterlife just yet, Sonic! Storm the Albatross: Sonic, I ain't gonna let you leave us so soon...! Hold on a little longer!
uh everyone is overlooking one teensy tiny detail the fact that A there are three life capsules in tails part which will bump up your life total from 5 to 8 and 2 in omega's section which will give you 10 lives if there are any in silver, knuckles, rouge or shadow's parts someone please tell me where they are bc i cannot find them
idk if anyone noticed, but you collect the same colored chaos emeralds in these levels. you collect the dark blue one twice. first with Rouge then with Amy. Then it looks you you collect the silver one twice. First with Omega, then with Shadow. then the light blue emerald, First with knuckles, then with silver. There are 7 emeralds ,and all emeralds are a different color. they are red, light blue, dark blue, purple, green, silver, and yellow. Just wanted to point that out incase no one noticed.
Actually the colors just look messed up because of those void-things and this whole end-of-the-world-thing around. You can see which character collects which emerald by looking at the playing theme's name: Tails: Yellow Omega: Green Knuckles: light blue Silver: White Rouge: Purple Amy: Blue Shadow: Red
This game should have been called "Sonic: The Dark Adventure" because it hints the type of game it's gonna be (sonic adventure) but it still does not actually tarnish the adventure name, let alone the original
No, I am the same for a number of reasons. I think it's Sonic Adventure 3 because it has the hubworlds, like SA, it's split into different stories that at the end make sense, like both SAs. Similar to Cannon's Core because you have to make make it to the end of different sections with different characters.
XxPandomRandomxX having multiple stories and a final story is something that appeared in every Sonic-game in that timespan, look at 'Heroes and 'Shadow. There's always a final episode where all the characters work together to do something that will allow either Sonic, Shadow or any other hedgehog to go super and beat the crap outta a monster. This formula has absolutely nothing to do with the Adventure series only.
XxPandomRandomxX 'having multiple stories and a final story is something that appeared in every Sonic-game in THAT TIMESPAN' is what I said. I meant the 1998-2007 by that.
This makes me dislike sonic forces a lil more now. Remember when his friends acc did something and not act immobilized when sonic wasnt around. If this was like forces, it will just be the end of the world literally and solaris will take over
This game for many people is bad but honestly, I liked it, even though it has many bugs, has some cool bugs in it as play with characters in stages that do not have access, etc. (my opinion, if you do not like this game, and want to say that game is bad on that comment, I will not judge you, it is your opinion.) ;)
It’s funny to me that the final boss to the last story of 06’s was met to be hard in a way that made it turn out easy. But unlike The End of the World Stage it’s so complicated and frustrating to beat, that SEGA purposely made this as a challenge to us. I bet half of us stopped playing this game after dying on the last part of the stage.
-Tails finds the Radiant Emerald in Crisis City -Omega finds the Forest Emerald in Flame Core -Knuckles finds the Glacier Emerald in Tropical Jungle -Silver finds the Spirit Emerald in Dusty Desert -Rouge finds the Corruptor Emerald in Wave Ocean -Amy finds the Tidal Emerald in White Acropolis -Shadow finds the Burner Emerald in Kingdom Valley - It’s how I always thought of the emeralds based on their colors since I was sick of them being just colorful without any other purpose unless combined together. “Together they bring about a Channeler’s ultimate power that transcends beyond time and space”

I honestly never understood why people hate so much on Elise. I mean: Sure. I'm annoyed by her too because she gets kidnapped over and over and over, but most people hate her because she loves sonic. Well its almost the same people who liked Maria...
People are able to like Maria because in spite of her limited appearances she felt like an actual _character,_ who we knew was a close friend of Shadow's and sacrificed her own life for him so he could later go on to do good for the world. Elise, on the other hand, gets kidnapped more times in a single game than Princess Peach has in the Mario franchise (please don't take this literally, this is hyperbole), _falls in love with an anthropomorphic hedgehog,_ and later has a near-complete disregard for the well-being of the world because of that attachment to him. Elise absolutely sucks as a character because there's nothing about her that's redeeming.
@@VideoGameLova1 if you arguing about Elise not caring about the world and choosing a hedgehog, you should bash Amy on that too. She stated to Silver "If I had to choose between the world and Sonic, I would choose Sonic." The only reason I see why Elise would think about Sonic the way she does is because he is her only real friend in her life. She was never allowed to be free to express her emotions in fear of releasing Iblis and dooming the world. Love technically doesn't have to be romantic, but Sonic was her greatest friend, and the only one matter of fact. You'd do everything to stay with your friend.
I think it’s the fact that there was implication of romance between Sonic (a hedgehog) and Elise (a human), especially having Elise sharing a kiss during the final story. Elise was based off SEGA’s idea of giving Sonic a human girlfriend (Madonna) before scrapping the idea. Vs Shadow and Maria had a sibling type of relationship. She was the key point to Shadow’s story and character development, going from vengeance against the world to protecting the world like Maria would have wanted it.
Man...those purple eyes are just terrifying at a close range or when time was falling apart (Hint at 5:21) I heard in Rouge's route in Wave Ocean of that level, if you go to that lighthouse not far to the purple Chaos Emerald to get a 1UP box there and stayed there when time falls apart to it's core and those purple eyes show up...YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE! STAY AWAY FROM THERE!! THEY SUCK YOU IN INSTANTLY!!!
After getting used to the last story i decided to challenge myself and beat everyone's stage without touching the eagle statues and if i died or touch a statue i had to start all over again from the beginning. Took a while since Amy's and Shadow's version was the most difficult but eventually i pulled it off.
This is nothing short of Outstanding. I've played the game for a long time and never controlled these charecters a Fraction as good as this. You've displayed just how much this hard game can really Shine
For the context of the End of the World, the bugs and glitches kind of aid in the atmosphere of the levels. Space-time is unravelling, so visual glitches would be a rational thing to see. Then again, the game is filled with glitches, so oh well.
Tails) crisis city Omega) flame core Knuckles) tropical jungle Silver) dusty desert Rouge) wave ocean Amy) white acropolis Shadow) kingdom valley The only levels that are not in end of the world are radical train and aquatic base
If only Blaze was still with Silver and with the group she would go to Radical Train. But since there’s no such thing as an 8th Chaos Emerald then Blaze had to be cut out. I invented some lines for when she gets to find a Chaos Emerald. At the beginning of the mission: “I need to find those Chaos Emeralds, and fast!” When she finds it: “There it is! Sonic, hang on!
Is it just me or do those time portal things have greenish blue windows in them? Also the end of the world level gives me a very legend of Spyro vibe. Interestingly the first game in that series came out the same year as this one. Early promotional pictures even said on them: "sonic: a new beginning", or something like that.
Fox find the Yellow Emerald, R.O.B., the Green Emerald, Olaf, the Cyan Emerald, Silver, the White Emerald, Rouge, the Purple Emerald, Rose, the Blue Emerald and Kristoff, the Red Emerald
Tails in Crisis City: “Sonic... We have to find the Chaos Emeralds soon!” “Sonic! I’m coming!” Omega in Flame Core: “Our targets are the Chaos Emeralds. I will begin the search immediately.” “Returning immediately.” Knuckles in Tropical Jungle: “The Chaos Emeralds... Where are they!?” “Sonic! I’m coming!” Silver in Dusty Desert: “I’ll never give up... Let’s go!” “All right! Sonic, here I come!” Rouge in Wave Ocean: “The Chaos Emeralds... Where are they?” “Sonic! I’m coming!” Amy in White Acropolis: “Sonic! I’m going to save you!” “Sonic! I’m on my way!” Shadow in Kingdom Valley: “The time-space rift is expanding... There’s no more time, I need to hurry.” “Okay, this is it! Sonic... Here I come.” Blaze in Radical Train: “I need to find the Chaos Emeralds and fast!” “Sonic! Hang on!” (If she was still alive)
it would have been, if all the bugs and glitches were fixed. and im being honest about this too, i felt thsi would have been a real winner if it was somewhat comfortable to play. and if the story would have been modified just a bit, and the end of the game not feel like sega just took the smelliest, slimiest crap on us, it WOULD have been one of the best. but it never happened.
If the Adventure gameplay style ever made a comeback, and Knuckles was playable, they should take notes from his few moments in this game. Still point A to point B, but more open and fit for his abilities. That doesn't mean you have to ditch treasure hunting, but I don't think every level should be like that.
@@AzaleusMSM No, she sacrificed herself to kill Iblis aswell. She demanded Silver to seal them in a different dimension, but his loyalty of friendship got in the way, so she became the bigger person and died with Iblis.
@Mobiandevil334 If you don't touch the eagle statues for awhile, Solaris gravity and shooting eyes will start springing up. The longer it goes, the more they come, and the gravity eyes have a very strong gravitational pull. The screen will also become more purplish and distorted. (As seen on Silver's section) That's why eagle statues are the key in giving you more time to get the Chaos Emerald, by temporarily eliminating all Solaris' eyes. :)
You must watch out those scary creature if you go near scary creature you will get hit and you will lose your life so hurry find chaos emerald faster something might happen.
The gameplay for the other characters actually didn't bother me at all when I played this game, they can't run fast like sonic, they could have given amy a better attack. and Shadow obviously needs to go faster, but the other characters gameplay and controls were good to me. Maybe tails could have attacked with bombs instead of dummy rings though.
There are 1 Thing you cant deny its at least better than any other Realistic Game after 2006. The Physics aka Hitboxes are at least working right (for my experience) and comparing it with any Shooter... nah pick the glitched one, there i cant complain about the hitboxes
I remember a few years ago my friend asked me if I wanted to play the game so I said ok. It was this game and he was on this level and it was on PlayStation. I had never been so lossed or confused ever since then . I literally ran in circles for a good 5 minutes and said fuck it like WTF IS THIS!?!
