Sonic the Hedgehog the Screen Saver 

The reason hes been gone for so long is he's looking for issues of harmony in Japan

14:12 this part makes me think that they're doing some kind of memorial charity concert for knuckles as if he died or something.

The golden sonic statue is being kept at SOJ (SEGA OF JAPAN) HQ

while rewatching his videos, i've realized that he has said "i'll make a video about that later" a lot. every time it is said my heart hurts a little more.

"Here's sonic picking me up for prom night" Thirty seconds earlier "this is canon" +1 if you ship cyber shell and sonic

Only Cybershell could make a video over 10 minutes about screen savers.

9:18 Sonic punches Tails in the back of the head like Mario punches Yoshi to throw its tongue.

i’ve seen some other people mention this but yeah, a year or so after this was uploaded sega harmony magazine scans were uploaded to sega retro, they’d be interesting to me personally if it wasn’t all in japanese grateful to the person who sent these to the people of sega retro/scanned these

We already knew Sonic had a house from the official Canon of the Sonic Labyrinth instruction manual.

Every time this channel uploads a video, my autism power level increases and makes me stronger mentally with Sonic knowledge.

6:45 ah, this must be why he disappeared. its the curse...

WHERE'S THE SEGA SATURN COMMERCIAL BONUS VIDEO? IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS, AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR THAT BONUS VIDEO.

Windows 98 3D Maze Bonus Video

Knack 2 & Knuckles confirmed

God this takes me back to times at my grandparents house where I'd look at the screensaver for ages and played sonic and knuckles. Really touched me for some reason.

Man, this takes me back! I discovered Sonic Screen Saver thanks my mother. When we used to not have internet acess at home, i asked my mom to download for me some Sonic images for using as wallpapers, since she was going to a lan house. She came back with a CD with some images and wallpapers she found on a brazilian fan site called Power Sonic, some of these images were from Sonic Screen Saver. In 2012 i got a copy of Sonic Gems Collection for PS2 and discovered new images of SSS.

I like my autism to be of high quality and this channel is exactly what I was looking for

Knack is my favourite Sonic character

10:49 The pose is a perfect match, including a hand being in a fist! Even the open hand’s fingers are in similar, if not exact, positions! The only major differences are the cleats and the fact it looks mirrored.

“Truly there is a Sonic version of everything.” So, Sonic condoms?

Loved how you played the sonic mega collection music when going through the images. Brought back a lot of memories.

Where's the "there's nothing wrong with genocide" bonus video?

Why am I feeling nostalgia for something I have literally never seen before

From an artist's perspective I was SUPER influenced by the illustrations featured in this program and I have fond, comfy childhood memories of poring over the pictures in Sonic Mega Collection for *hours*. I distinctly remember the feeling that Ohshima's work instilled in me, how it made me want to dive inside those paintings and live in that world with Sonic & Co., it instilled a sense of wonder I don't think I had ever felt about another artist's work at the time. I remember it being the thing that made me truly aware of the power of imagery and visuals and since I already LOVED drawing and had been doing it practically since I was able to write my name, that was the thing that made me go "that's it, that's the thing I'm gonna do when I get older", and I've been drawing ever since! I'm a professional illustrator now and I have Naoto Ohshima and this humble collection of art to thank for inspiring my life's work. Thanks so much for making this video!

14:40 *UNLIKE SONIC I DON'T CHUCKLE*

14:21 - Sonic and Tails are on a date. You can't tell me that isn't what's happening there.

8:52 "here is sonic picking me up for prom night" hahahaha

Watching cybershell talk about sonic is memorizing

I've always wanted a Sonic game with levels that's based off of all those nice artworks from Sonic the Screensaver. It just looks cool.

11:13 Better than what he wished for in Sonic and the secret rings.

6:44 - omfg, this is why he went missing! He threw the damn statue in the river! That's even more dangerous than shouting 'Candle Jack' in the middle of a fr

14:33 i love how with everything going in this picture cybershell happens to notice a guy about to commit suicide by jumping off the hot air balloon

It seems like classic sonic's eye color changes from black to grey to brown in all these pictures.

Retrospectively, 9:30 made me kinda cry considering we don’t know how Cybershell is. R.I.P You ingenious Sonic Fan.

All that art really takes me back. I remember playing Gems Collection with my brother and going through the gallery trying to unlock all the pictures. I didn’t appreciate it as much as I do now

I always come back to this video, something about it is really comfy

These drawings always fill me with so much nostalgia and put the biggest smile on my face.

"And of course we can't forget about the Bi Men's Factory." :D

Those 13 year olds can vote now

8:28 Oh the memories of looking at comic covers.

This fucking Sonic Mega Collection music in the background fucking depressing me cause i'm old AF

I remember borrowing a copy of S&K Collection from a friend, and I remember overlooking the screensaver feature. I probably still have it... somewhere.

This episode has a very warm and comfy vibe. I love it

1:28 very late to explaining this but if you want an actual reason they are called knack, its because storage space was so limited back in the day that evrey little bit of space helped so we took every little bit of space that we could by sheaving off letters from words so they took up less bytes. Also its faster to run smaller amounts of code so it also helps with the lack of ram in these pcs.

10:47 THERES SOCCER IN FORCES CONFIRMED

Papa finally posted thank you

7:26 that costume I terrifying

"1:32" Uh oh, did someone say KNACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK?!

where is our sonic jam for game.com bonus video

I was obsessed with that art in Sonic Jam too. I spent hours going through them. So nostalgic.

Freaking love your Sonic content, Cyber. Keep up the amazing work.

This is my favorite video of your cybershell just wanted to say that for some reason

Great video don't stop what your doing

Cybershell, where's the Sonic 3 bonus video?

for those wondering, some sega harmony issues have been found and scanned since this video came out. nothing too interesting in them though imo

That Harmony Illustration you tock about Sonic Origins have these things 🥳

My uncle worked at SEGA in the 90s so he has *all* the issues of Harmony. If I get 10,000 Subscribers, I'll post scans of it all. (I really doubt I'm the first to make this joke.)

Holy shit he wasn't lying about the patrons at the end

11:27 That legit scared me. I thought a program opened without my knowledge.

I've always loved this art but never knew where it came from so thank you for making this video!!

Where tf is the sonic mania video

Dude, your videos are always super informative, interesting, entertaining, and well made. Thank you for the content man.

I have always had a strange fascination with the Sonic the Screensaver images as well. They just take you to another happier place when you look at them and give you this really cool feeling.

I owned Sonic the Screensaver on Windows XP. It's worth mentioning some of the images were also used in the gallery in Sonic Gems Collection.

So this is the real Sonic 4?

i actually remember a lot of this art being in sonic rivals 2

Those pictures are really great. When you went through all of them I felt like a little kid again. It sure made me happy!

All of the art at the end, imagine an entire cartoon about them all, with each panel as concept art for episodes.

I...never knew that was what screen savers were for. My god.

Thank you, Cybershell for spending an autistic amount of time on these images. I used to spend hours looking at them on Sonic Jam as a kid. They hold a cozy place in my heart.

I'm so glad someone talked about these! These are some of my favorite pieces of art in the entire series.

5 years later and STILL waiting for the Segata Sanshiro bonus video

oi cybershell link to the scans of that magazine with the harmony stuff in

1:46 How it feels to chew five gum

Thanks for sharing those screen savers. They are so well done!!!

IT'S KNACK 2 BAYBEE It's a masterpiece

Damn, I was looking at this art a week ago, and it's really colorful and makes me want to play sonic games again. This video couldn't have been posted at a better time

Sonic the hedge hog the screensaver & knackles

I’ve been to Japan multiple times since this vid came out. Never looked for Harmony totally spaced on it.... but I did go to Joyopoljs which I had never heard of till Cybershell. That video going over Joyopolis had a major impact on my second trip to Japan.

I appreciate that you used the photo gallery music from the sonic mega collection on game cube as bgm while showing the pictures, it was super nostalgic hearing that again😂 😂

Thumbnail looks like a promotional Sonic Mania poster.

12:25 Top left corner Ricky is driving a vehicle marked "LSD". Suddenly these pictures all make perfect sense.

oh...oh using the sonic mega collection "gallery" theme music was such a fantastic touch.

cybershell could honestly talk about anything and id be intrigued enough to watch to the end

Wouldn’t be funny if he just uploaded a video acting like he was never gone, not acknowledging it once, and then never uploaded after that Edit: lol I wasn’t expecting that

13:26 So are we just gonna ignore how Robotnik's about to fall out of a hot air balloon and fucking die?

The music you used during your humorous explanation for all the artwork was funny and strangely relaxing

That Halloween picture was just adorable! Look at poor Tails, hiding behind Sonic like that!😁

I love all of these screensavers, I wish I had all of them on my phone

I Just translated issue no.125 of Sega Harmony - this issue is detailing "Mr Syd Mead 'Real Time Simulation Game' M CD-ROM Visited Japan for Joint Launch - Mead being a very famous production designer for films such as BladeRunner and Aliens, among others. This issue refers to Cyberrace, a game that Mead designed.

Cybershell videos have this kind of charm to them, I like it.

you are like the chill type of sonic fan that I was when I was a kid I like your Sonic videos so much.

I vividly remember all of this. It was back in 2004 when I first saw these screen savers.

Hello cybershill

Sonic looks like he has a really nice house.

Man, these screensaver images are absolutely wonderful. They’re so colorful land cheerful. So many positive vibes from them

This art was also on the Sonic Gems collection on PS2 and Gamecube.

15:48 Cybershell has hidden and suppressed feelings for Sonic 4 confirmed

3:37 THE MAGAZINE PREDICTED THE FUTURE

Looking through these charming Sonic pictures with the Sonic Mega Collection music playing is just such a calm and relaxing feeling.
