Top 10 Best Colors Era Moments | Characters In-Depth 

I love when Eggman goes feral in Lost World. It feels like he's truly scary for once, and even despite possibly breaking bones by punching the wall, he still has his composure and manages to get another menacing one liner out. It really feels like the Eggman from SA2 who wouldnt hesitate to pull a gun on Amy and demand a Chaos Emerald in exchange for her life. I want more of that.

I do feel like people overlooked how Shadow was in Forces. It was a step in the right direction for his character. Then they took a huge step back in Team Sonic Racing, but hopefully they'll build off of his character from Forces.

Glad the DS version of colors got some love in this list. It really did have plenty of fun interactions among the cast

I'm glad that someone else thinks that the relationship between Zavok and Zik is actually interesting as well. It's one of the few times Zavok shows anything other than "I am a bad guy, fear me!" and it makes me wanna know a little bit more about their relationship.

This one’s not so much a moment, as it is just a monologue of various jokes, but my favorite moments are Eggman’s PA announcements from Colors

not a moment, but here's what i think is one of the best Eggman quotes in the entire Colors era: "I will burn your worlds you rebellious scum. I will destroy everything you love and make you watch!" (from Sonic Lost World)

I swear I don’t see people bring up eggman snapping at the deadly six and threatening to commit basically genocide on the six, like that moment was cool

I wish Silver was with Sonic during his fight against Infinite.

If Classic Sonic's "dimension" is actually a separate timeline after the events of Generations, then maybe that's why Silver's future is in ruins once again in Forces, as that game's events happened because Prime Eggman found the ruby, which actually came from the classic timeline and was transported to the main timeline after the events of Mania. Of course, this assuming the classic and modern eras are still the same timeline (except for Mania of course), and Tails's wording in Forces about "another dimension" was misleading.

Great list. Despite its flaws, it’s refreshing to see the good moments from the Colours era being acknowledged. It might not be much, but Zavok does mention Master Zik in one of his quotes from Team Sonic Racing, suggesting he still looks up to him.

The ending to Colors always gives me goosebumps. The dialogue, the fist pump between Sonic and Tails, the high fives with Yacker, the music. It was amazing. Also gotta love the edgy theme music for episode Shadow lol

Dang I LOVED episode Shadow for all the reasons you stated. A team dark game with this kind of style, getting missions from the commander, different playstyles for Shadow, Rouge, and Omega and a cryptic tone - beautiful Hope it's reception may lead to a project like that in the future

Episode Shadow and LEGO Dimensions were the only games where Kirk Thornton actually got to play Shadow and not whatever it was that Sonic Team had him being in his other appearances. Really sucks that he likely won't be coming back, I actually love Kirk Thornton as an actor, and as meme filled and silly as it was, I will always defend the Twitter Takeover 4 as standing proof that Mr. Thornton DOES understand who Shadow really is at his core.

I've noticed that some of the moments on this top were chosen for being inherently tied to past games one way or another; Shadow showing a bit of how he used to be, Team Dark being together at least one more time, Ray and Mighty appearing again after so many years, the reunion with Silver who confirms the future stayed bright, and I think that's it. I've also noticed that there are no moments from Generations here, you know, everyone's favorite 3D game from this era of Sonic. I guess that game *really* had no story after all.

I'd add 4 moments that I feel often go underappreciated: 1.- Sonic and Tails enter Planet Wisp (Sonic Colors): a surprisingly bittersweet cutscene which brings back to light one of the series' core themes (nature vs technology) which accompanied by Planet Wisp's music and level design make for a memorable, enotional location and a ramp up the game's stakes. 2.- Cutscene before Terminal Velocity: while Sonic pushing Tails back aged badly due to how other games treated Tails, at its time I found it a very emotiinal cutscene showing Sonic's lack of hesitation for sacrificing himself if necessary (it took the help of the wisps for him not to die there) and take care of his friends, and showed a very caring and surprisingly thoughtful and attentive Sonic in an otherwise non-serious game, all while remaining his calm and confident self, no regrets or drama, and amping up the stakes of the game. 3.- Park Avenue (Sonic Forces): the rookie's first major, completely independent mission, and the one where he's able to truly prove himself and prove his value to the team, all while everyone else congratulates him, cheers on him with very inspiring music in the background. Wholesome af in an otherwise surprisingly aggressive era. 4.- Sonic Generations ending (farewell to Classic Sonic): fun interactions between the two Sonic and Tails and a very genuine feeling of celebration and gratefulness for the entire franchise, not forgetting or burying anything, is very apparent in this cutscene and I really love its optimism.

Even as a kid I was never into the Colors era’s style of writing but they did have their moments

I love how Sonic Forces got the most spots on The Best List and The Worst List

One of my favorite Colors era moments isn’t from the games, but is the writing of Rise of the Wisps. It proves to have a good blend of comedy and heart to it, playing straight Sonic’s views on the power of friendship. If anything, that short should be the mold for future Sonic stories- comedy not being over bearing, moments with genuine stakes and heart… more of that, please. Also, I did think Zavok, Zik, and Zazz were the more entertaining Deadly Six members. Zavok for a great VA performance and being kinda cool, Zik for being a fun mentor character, and Zazz for his general insanity. There’s not much to the Deadly Six, but those three felt either more than one dimensional characters even if only a little or were just fun. And I mentioned in the worst moments video mostly still finding Colors amusing, which I hold to, even if the game’s nonlinear story progression basically kills Yacker off early on and the character suffers for it because of less screen time than he should have had. But I digress. Bottom line is Colors is fine, the rest just tried too much to follow in it’s footsteps. Sonic’s writing has taken a downturn, but it still can provide some moments of fun.

Honestly Colors' finale was quite memorable. You had some real tension especially with things like Tails' radio guide not functioning and all. The game leaves satisfied at the end despite its flaws

The ending of Sonic Colors was good in my opinion. I never liked the story of Sonic Colors but the ending, I really enjoyed.

I hope you do a top 10 dark era moments, I know they’re weren’t the best eras for sonic but it definitely has its moments and I’ve never seen any video done on it and also great video too I have only played two sonic games in the colours era but like the dark era it has its greatest moments even at the most poorest (woah that was long)

Do I like ragging on the Colours era? Yes but sometimes I feel like I'm a bit too harsh on it. These brought us some of the best games in series history and that cannot go unnoticed. Speaking more on story since that's more of the problem, sure it's not great around the board with ruined characters and such, but I'd disagree with the notion of it being all bad. When it wanted to, this era could really shine in moments and even be genuinely funny. There is treasure in that trash. Even with Forces of all games. So salute to you today Colours era. You're mostly alright.

That is quite a good video you did and glad you are fair with your choices. :) Also, interesting that most of your choices are from Sonic Forces, as it is disappointing that the game has the most potential to be the best Sonic game of the 2010s and has some good ideas in it, but we know of the final results...... Man, it could've been good. Surprising that Generations & Team Sonic Racing aren't on the list. Well they don't have much story but the games are still good to play.

The Colors era was always something I had a hard time trying to comprehend. Even though I would be the exact appropriate age range to be playing these 2010 games, I guess I just don't have the same type of connection and the level of fondness with it growing up compared to the 4Kids, Genesis and Adventure eras, particularly in that order. The only game in the Colors era that stood out to me the most before I became part of the fandom I say, would be Generations plus Sonic's cameo in the first Wreck-It Ralph movie. Yeah, 2011-12 happens to be my first ever memories of Sonic, so seeing Generations being heavily marketed as the latest game that also happens to be the 20th anniversary at the time, it's one of those things I remember vividly. I do however have a little bit of a fatal attraction towards Colors. It may be the game I'm supposed to hate due to how it was a huge turning point for the tone of this franchise and how the franchise would treat its characters from then on, but I still kinda wanna give both the Wii and DS versions a go. If I was a Sonic fan during the butt end of 2009 and saw the front cover of Colors with the Wisps, I would most likely see it as a return to form of some sort. Besides, as divisive they are, I actually like the Wisps' inclusion in the series, and Reach For The Stars and Speak From Your Heart are both among my favorite Sonic vocal tracks in the series. The same could also apply to Forces too, although I'm a lot more resentful towards that game due to how it represents everything I hate about the current portrayals of the main cast. I have to admit, even with those best moments I agree with, they still don't hold a candle towards the Adventure/4Kids era for me, which obviously means that I do hope the old tone and style returns someday. For the longest time, I was supposed to believe that 4Kids Sonic X, '06 and rest of those dark age games were huge abominations that should never exist. And yeah, I can acknowledge all their flaws, as frequent as they may be, I still felt kinda sad finding out about the 4Kids cast being notoriously despised on and were the reason why Sonic X was so bad, especially when I actually liked the show as well as the 4Kids crew and never actually shared those complaints people had with the show, at least before I entered the fandom. I've always thought they were the definitive voice for these characters and even if they may never return and have moved on, I would be completely lying to myself if I said that I still didn't miss Jason Griffith's Sonic/Shadow, Dan Green's Knuckles, Lisa Ortiz's Amy, and yes, even Kathleen Delaney's Rouge. I've always been told about '06 being one of the worst games ever made, but even if I never actually played the game myself, I've watched the cutscenes back in the day and my 10 yr old self thought they looked cool, and even the gameplay itself didn't seem to be as terrible as people claim it to be. Even if I still believe those games have done more bad to the series than good, I always thought the claims people had during that dark age era was over-exaggerated. It really speaks volumes how much the general public's opinions on things can warp your perception on what you thought was good but actually wasn't, which explains so many fans of the dark age are now more vocal, as they were forced to endure the endless debates on Sonic's friends, whatever color Sonic's eyes are, how dark a Sonic story should be, etc. These fans were constantly ridiculed for being cringe and liking cringe things, but honestly, I would rather be cringe than some attention-seeking bully that looks down on others for their interests. Besides, I think everybody was cringy at least once in their lives, I sure was. My favorite character in the series is Amy and her current portrayal and the situation she's in represents literally everything I hate about Sonic in 2010s, but also everything I've said about 2000s Sonic being looked down on as cringy. She used to receive quite a lot of backlash from fans who thought she was annoying and may also be roughly the same age as Amy is, as well as critics that jump aboard the Sonic's Shitty Friends bandwagon. But even with those criticisms aside, which I always thought they were over-exaggerated by fans and haters alike to make it seem like Amy was more hated than she actually was, she used to be character people can have a lot to like about. She used to have so much spark and personality in every game she was in, and it makes me sick to see how she's completely reduced down into being a jarring mix of being either a Minnie Mouse, Velma or Sally clone. The fact that people seem to acknowledge this watered-down version of Amy as a step forward in her character just because her crush was supposedly toned down, pretty much what her current portrayals doesn't do, makes me wonder if these people were a fan of her or even knew her to begin with. Now that Amy's finally catering to them, they're now suddenly an advocate for this standard girl goody two-shoes character with no flaws to be resolved, that no wonder they wanna buy her toys to cuddle up to every night. It may be what they prefer Amy to be, but really, it's just lame. You made a brief mention to Ratchet & Clank in some of your videos, and I can say that Amy's in the same boat as Ratchet's in, as Ratchet too was regressed from being a hotheaded go-getter mechanic that does things his own way, to being a generic goody two-shoes Pixar hero that follows orders and gets called "Rookie" every time. This entire rambling has shown my obvious nostalgia biases, but I can say that I'll still be a fan of the series and I don't exactly hate Sonic in the 2010s entirely.

My favorite colours moment was sonic actually talking things somewhat seriously in most world after tails got captured

Wow this era is so bad to the point where a character smiling is considered as a freaking moment lol 😂 But I don’t blame you it’s really hard to find a memorable moments for a good reasons from this era

A moment I love was Silver and Blaze interactions in Team Sonic Racing. That moment when Silver is concerned about what's gonna happen soon, and Blaze comforts him and says that she trusts him. That was so cute. Or in gameplay when we hit Blaze with a Wisp as Silver, and Blaze says: "I though we were friends, Silver." The connection between these two is something else 👌 Edit: One thing I love from Episode Shadow was the new Remix of "Supporting Me."

3:02 wasn’t expecting a Buzz Lightyear cartoon clip

Loved the Zerg moment repeating Eggman's scene, that was hilarious xD

personally my favorite moments from the 2010s come from generations i love the beginning of the game where everyone throws sonic a surprised birthday and i liked at the end of the game where at final boss all of sonic's friends cheer him on. and i liked the goodbye scene between sonic and his past self and tell him his future is gonna be great. and lets not forget the credits which shows footage of the past sonic games. man i really think generations would've made a great conclusion to the series

My favorite moment is a toss up between Sonic ensuring Tails’ safety prior to Colors final boss or Eggman’s moment in Lost World “As long as I can strangle a Zeti my hands are fine”

11:42 Props for the Mario Bros. Z reference there.

It's so refreshing to see you talking good stuff about the Pontaff Era after so many (albeit deserved) complaints

LEGO Sonic Dimensions was as a whole a high moment I'd say.

It's refreshing to hear someone actually giving credit where credit is due when it comes to the current era, rather than just denouncing it as all bad (which I might add is exactly what people were doing during the dark era!) I feel like people should give this age of Sonic more fairer criticisms since we know that Sega have a tendency to take away the wrong things from fan feedback. It makes me worry what kind of direction they'll take the series in the future that will cause people to look back at the Colours Era and start saying "This new era sucks! The Colours Era wasn't as bad as everyone said it was, so why can't we go back to that?"

I feel another moment to appreciate is when Eggman saved Tails from a sneak-attack in Lost World's Frozen Factory. Sonic rightfully points out how he was contemplating outright destruction on their vickering before just to then spring into action and save Tails. Eggman's, "I am a complicated guy," response gave him a much needed sprinkle or depth, implying he's not purely evil and knows when to have heart.

10:45 So much for that strict rule on Shadow. WE ALL OWE SONIC FORCES!

Its an honor to see your videos as usual, your selections for the top ten best 2010s Sonic moments were understandable. I know most fans did not like the 2010s era of Sonic for… reasons, but it was my first decade as a Sonic fan, Colors started it for me and I played most of the games in that era. See you next time…

Y'know, it's been a while since you did a top 10. Nice to see that you're returning to your old roots.

4:15 There's a wrestling term called "Throwing Shade", where in the lead-up to a fight, the two combatants toss some verbal barbs at each other before the fight begins in order to raise the stakes and the tension for the upcoming fight. Rarely is it authentically mean spirited, and having the verbal blows roll off of each other in a sort of duel acts as part of the fight in of itself. Adventure-era writers were WAY better at writing Shade than the Colors era writers, who instead told bad jokes.

Nice use of editing and it’s good to see well “Good” in this era.

I am so happy that someone else aknowleges just how important Silver was in the Sonic Forces game. Both Sonic and Shadow were missing for 6 months and Eggman was able to take over almost the entire world. Silver was the best line of defense the freedom fighters had and its with his efforts that they were able to win in the end. Silver is my favorite Sonic character and he is severely under used.

I sadly was left out of the entire Colors Era (and any game after Shadow's game) but this makes me legitimately want to play all of them to form my own opinion. Nice list man. Also, you had me with that opening. Rocky transition...

> Greatest moments in Colors Era > Deadly Six in it Colors Era haters: *wait thats illegal*

Your dear man, you made me love the music you used in the numbers of the best moments. Now I need the name of it.

It seems silver was the most useful character in forces aside from sonic and avatar

Say what you will about Sonic Forces, but it's the first game since '06 to have playable characters other than Sonic.

I always enjoyed Shadow’s smile in Sonic Forces. It was nice to see his soft side

CID: Yeah, see that Boom Shadow! MMM, friendship tastes good, don't it? Boom Shadow (with Joe Swanson voice): GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!!!

Funnily enough, in the end card you use an example of one of my favorite parts of this era; the music. Sonic music has always has a pretty consistently high quality to it, throughout the entire franchise. Not every song is good, but the overwhelming majority are *great.* What sets the "colors era" apart in this, however, is a strong emphasis on a "fun" tone in its music; there's just so upbeat and enjoyable to listen to, occasionally giving us absolute jams like honeycomb highway (the music being used in the end card)

I genuinely want them to bring back infinite as a character and write him better. Come on hes design is too good to waste.

honestly im just glad that shadow was written fairly well in forces and especially episode shadow. i just wish it would carry over into the IDW comics a little more. zavok and zik's student-master relationship isn't something you see in the sonic series so it's definitely interesting. i would kinda like to see more of it honestly.

Damn! It's one thing when an enigmatic dude uses guns and swears, but when you force him to be an edgelord against his will, that's going too far!

Wow! You know what? My favorite Colors Era Moments are Shadow smiling in Sonic Forces, Sonic and Silver vs Infinite, The Avatar standing up to Infinite, Episode Shadow, Dr. Eggman telling Sonic off in Sonic Lost World, Sonic disrespecting Zazz, and so much more! Ah screw it, I love every moment in Sonic Forces especially with Infinite in it.🤩👍

3:01 Oh dang, I haven't seen that movie in so long, I need to watch it again. 4:32 Honestly, as much as I hated Lost World, it did have some of the best humor of the era, Sonic's insults were pretty on-point and on a side note the Deadly Six did have a strong presence in the game. I agree completely that Episode Shadow was the best written thing in this era, the characters were generally on point, the plot was consistent, and the interactions were good. I just wish Infinite was focused on Shadow in the main game. And I agree that everyone needs to be relevant in some way again, it annoys me that we haven't gotten to play ANY of them outside of being a different skin (those being Metal and Shadow) or a secondary character (like Tails in Sonic 4 EP 2), with the exception of Mania. I'd love to do this kind of video myself someday.

Forces Shadow showing smiles and friendly and actual feelings is nice and still tells you he’s isn’t just some stone cold a-hole that acts like he doesn’t have friends. Shadow is cold but never heartless and put his past with Sonic behind him. Forces is only a sign of the original Shadow before Sonic Boom. That is until TCR brought him up as a scum bag AT FIRST but he came back around.

Just Silver vs Infinite he's the real hero of the story

Awesome video

There was also the fact that shadow was also concerned about Sonic when infant mention him in episode Shadow so that also add some lyrics to and inside generations and Shadow even says be careful Sonic when Sonic and his classic self we're fighting the Time Eater so Shadow isn't a total edgelord as he also shows the care for sonic as well well in those two games

0:17 Sonic was so fast he broke the law of physics.

Now all I need is a top 10 worst sonic villains

This may be days ago but my all time favorite Colors Era moment is Classic Sonic speeding off towards Eggman in the Mirror Scene in Generations. That scene and the Metal Sonic Rival boss are the only times the neo classic sonic actually acted LIKE the real classic sonic. Modern Sonic standing there confused just symbolizes the dichotomy. Pontac Sonic and Actual Classic Sonic. Classic Sonic actually going towards the action while pontac sonic just stands there. And this was the last time the death egg robot actually felt like a threat and not a overused joke like in Mania or Forces.

Good to know we still have some good moments here and there. Here's one from me. The 3DS version of Sonic Generations was the first I played. It isn't as good I admit, but before the Time Eater fight, they added in a detail that I was sad wasn't in other versions. Both the Sonics are getting pummelled, and both the Tails step in and take the hit. They were willing to SACRIFICE themselves! You go, Tails.

One scene a lot of people overlooked in forces is the one where sonic gets beaten up by infinite but the part that’s so overlooked is that sonic is asking and relies on tails for help to find a weakness. Sonic actually did learn his lesson from lost world and this actually is a great excuse for why Tails is the way he is in forces too as he becomes depressed and loses his confidence because he thinks he has failed Sonic and is useless.

I have to admit, the reason I can't really hate Forces is 'cause moments like the ones you point out in here show what it was *trying* to be... and even though it didn't succeed, I'd like for Sonic Team to keep trying.

Anyone else feel like the reason there haven’t been other playable characters for years until Forces was because critics and older fans thought they were the problem?

"Shadow smiles" damn the bar is starting off pretty low lol

Are you disrespecting me? is objectively the best piece of dialogue ever put in a Sonic game period.

I like the moment in Lost World when it seem that everything was lost, the world, Sonic friends and even Robotnik. Really promp up the stakes if you ask me.

This era has some cool moments like when modern and classic go super at the same time or Sonics friends cheering him on in generations. I know this decade has a lot of flaws but so does every era of sonic I’m just glad that we can all find good in every part of this franchise 😊.

Tails and Ray when they were spinning on the chairs is exactly like me with spinny chairs.

I never even noticed when shadow smiled. That’s amazing.

Love the sonic forces moments.were cool in my opinion

That transition music sure is somethin'

notice how most the "Best Colors Era Moments" are the ones that briefly revert back to the Adventure era.

I Think two moments of sonic Generations should have been made on this list. -Present Sonic and Past Sonic confrontation with present eggman and past eggman/dr.robotnik:it was interesting seeing the hero and villain with their past selfes confronting each other,find out who the mastermind is and what i really loved was how all of sonic's friends came to Support him. -Sonic Generations ending:i loved the ending of sonic Generations because of this one line sonic told his past self before he could go to his timeline:,,hey sonic,enjoy your future.it's gonna be great.".i love this line so much cause this Kinda Shows how sonic loves his life and tells his past self that his life will get better in the future and that he should enjoy it.love this meaning.

You could have just filled this entire video with moments from mania alone.

This is more general, but despite people saying things aren’t dark enough, I think Eggman is more competent in this era: Adventure Era and Transition Era: * Expects Chaos and Shadow to follow him without fail and gets betrayed * Tries to blow up Station Square while still in there * Loses control of his own Metal Sonic * Doesn’t seem to have any contingency plan for Solaris * Repeats his Chaos mistake with Dark Gaia. As opposed to the Colors era: * Uses a smaller yet powerful breed of aliens and keeps them captured * Made sure to have an ally to help control Time Eater * Had a way to keep the Deadly Six in control and only lost control because of Sonic * Had a way of retreating Infinite from battle and taking his power, and made up the whole 3 day plan to lure everyone to his trap (not sure about how he would have evaded the sun, admittedly)

The avatar enforces It’s like a combination of classic sonic and tails in the older games when he was Courageous

Shadows smile is always great

Shadow whooping Infinite's ass in Episode Shadow was absolutely epic.

inally some loe for Zazz, I love his insane personality and do love that cutscene

honestly a character smiling being on the list is telling XD

The Meta era never ends

1:14 10:33 Are you going to make a full music video for Light of Hope or are these all we're getting? (I searched and have concluded they were edited by this channel)

Wait. WAIT I'm just a minute from watching this video and to hear that Shadow?!THE Shadow???SMILED?!?!WHAT

I like how the Forces game leads to the IDW comics

If I may suggest a future Sonic video idea to you, how about a top 10 characters that only appeared once in any media but like to see again, like Mephiles in Sonic 06, Shade the Echidna in Chronicles the Dark Brotherhood, some characters from Sonic X and the OVA movie, anyone from other media that isn't in the games.

Hm, how very interesting, good to know there were moments you liked, though the moments seems rather small in comparison to the Worst Moments, which is not a surprise, I suppose.

I think that out of all of the Deadly Six, Zazz it's probably the most liked.

Sega, please hire this man

I would have to say the best moments were shadow's smiles lighting my day up and the end of sonic mania even though i did not get sonic mania plus yet :)

Tho whole ending cut scenes and ending boss of so ic unleashed was amazing. Yes I know this is part of the dark era

I actually thought you were warming up to Shadow in forces in this video. Do you Still think the avatar is a Gary stew in this game ?

I feel like people will ease off the Meta era once it’s over. I bet nobody thought people would look back fondly at games like 06 and Secret Rings at the time

Since we found out Sonic Colors Ultimate was rushed out the door, this is the only time I wish the deluxe version of a game wasn't released on my birthday.

I really like all of Terminal Velocity, especially Act 2.

i didn't know shadow waved goodbye in forces and i like that.(all era's of sonic are heavily flawed especially adventure & jason griffith but the colors era feels like it had huge potential but played it reasonably safe only to royally screw up with lost world,boom and definitely forces not taking advantage of the soft reboot renaissance it did to start again outside mania/runners.) i love how strangely the straightman eggman was in lost world(even if i wish knuckles was there to literally slap sense to tails in that dumb moment also loved amy helping the animals showing her kindness and never mentioning her love of sonic even once.) having gotten used to sonic,him threatening the zeti being a callback to him having enough in adventure 1(actually find him more intimidating.)/precursor to idw eggman and the running theme of him starting to snap in the lost world 3ds that colors/generations started after losing eggmanland in unleashed(pretty understandable as it's the closest alongside the time eater he's come to fully winning his legacy to himself and his grandfather only to lose it all and always thought his park was another attempt at it/he was going to mind control everyone to rebuild it as it technically wasn't destroyed just caved in.)that i wish forces capitalized on. really didn't find sonic in colors annoying compared to parts of the adventure era(there were cringe moments in it's writing it wasn't perfect especially sa2.),jason outside unleashed/black knight and lost world/rol(outside the pre boss fights were it fell flat due to no real response from the bosses/think instead of repeats the others should've been eggman or orbot & cubot piloting them,think tails could've been alongside him and just felt like an attempt to be dante/bayonetta's playfulness with their enemies but not even close to their snarky charm.) i just think the friends were really missing as it would've completed the huge festival theme colors had/better introduction than free riders.

That scene from lost world when sonic roasted Zeena was perfect 😂

9:33 nah... he gets Zazz in the Olympics ... where Zazz is somehow sane/stable enough to play ping Pong
