It reminds me of Reshiram/Zeckrom transformation end cut scenes from Pokemon Black and White. And in 0:13 Is definitely a throwback of Deoxy's transformation from ORAS Delta Episode.
Is it just me coming back to this video every few months just to appreciate how smooth and well animated this whole thing was? From the over all visuals to the camera angles and lighting just makes it look sorta like something you would get from an official sonic game and we can all agree we would adore if we got a sonic animated series or game with this same art style and such. The closest thing we've got is fan games but I'm sure sooner or later some inspired game dev will maybe see this and decided "yeah I like this idea" now if you don't mind me I'll replay this video just like you are probably doing a few more times before going to watch something else. See ya.
Glad I found this again, such a great animation. Would love to see the old genesis games redone in this style. Odd note, in the original sprites for Mecha Sonic, the core bit seen in the chest is actually Mecha's eye. The sprites for when it's chest opens, it's head tilts back as well revealing the core. When placed up with the other sprites in this animation it shows that the core lines up with where it's eye is at in its head.
As a child, I remember seeing this boss the first time. Before he ever ran out of energy...I thought to myself as someone who abused Super Sonic before...HOW ON EARTH CAN I WIN THIS? as knuckles~
@@flory2307 true...but it was still the most terrifying Sonic gaming moment for those first 10 seconds. Once he lost power, I was like "oh, that's how" but before that? Absolute despair.
Ikr I don’t know why he’s not been in the Mario & Sonic Olympic Games and Sonic Racing. Heck, he should’ve been one of the Phantom Ruby copy villains that Infinite made in Forces instead of Zavok.
@@kazmakazii yeah. I think they should bring back Mecha Sonic, at least for the new classic style games. M&S At The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games has Sonic 2's Mecha Sonic as one of the secret bosses in the retro mode, so it at least a little bit heightens the chances to having Sonic 3 Mecha Sonic show up again someday. I think most people can agree that Mecha Sonic's design is far more interesting than Zavok's. Also, one of the bosses in Sonic Generations should have been Mecha Sonic considering that Sky Sanctuary is in the game. The only work they would’ve needed to do would’ve been his stats and behavioural traits, as the environment itself is already there. Cool that he returned in LEGO Dimensions I guess... but a real Sonic game appearance, MAN that would make lots of people happy.
The story mode of the knuckles passes after the Sonic campaign, and if you make the final without the Chaos Emeralds the Mecha Sonic appears alive at the end of the credits, A shame that Sega discarded this hook for a future sequence
dude, this aesthetic needs to have a whole game for itself. its like the perfect blend of sprite to 3D what with the pixel-like texturing and the PS1-like models. meanwhile the animation was clean as fuck, kudos.
@@MegaTheFox456 had to look it up and face palmed that i forgot one of my favorite Sonic games. and im looking for something a bit more 3D movement and less 240p. lol. that aside i think Sonic Jam's little 3D section pretty much what im looking for. just if it were like a full game or something.
I love how it maintains it's original artstyle, yet is 3D. Could you imagine Sonic Mania 2 using this technique, kinda like how Guilty Gear Xrd does? It gives the illusion of 2D when suddenly something *epic* happens and the camera angle changes and you're like: "WHAAAT IS THIS 3D!?"
Sonic Maurice Hedgehog i talked about *MANIA 2* not Sonic in General. I just want classic to be 2d and modern to be 3d. I never said a word about sonic in generall
Mecha Sonic is used in combat situations. But Metal Sonic is versatile as he has multiple different attacks while having a form where he can literally copy anyone’s abilities
Even still Mecha is the only Sonic copy to actually achieve a Super Form, the only thing Metal Sonic has done is just copy the powers of chaos through a chao and froggy and evolved into something ridiculous. Although Mecha Sonic's transformation was short lived and mostly due to the Master Emerald I do have full confidence that if he were powered by the Chaos Emeralds itself Mecha Sonic would be by far Eggman's strongest robot. And no im never counting SMBZ as part of this >_>.
Versatile or not, Metal Overlord/Madness wouldn't be able to put a scratch on Super Mecha Sonic if it were Chaos Emerald powered instead of ME powered.
This was always my favorite boss of the classic trilogy. A lot of the Robotnik encounters, while creative, were total pushovers. Most bosses don’t have more than a few attacks. Mecha Sonic always felt more like a Mega Man or Kirby boss, and that’s high praise.
@pacifistichuman82649 Creation in general ? Probably not. Creation as in Iron Hedgehogs ? I'm enclined to think so, since not only does Mecha MK.II possess both the ability to think AND fight, but it also is, to this day (comics aside), the only being to have ever harnessed the Master Emerald's power for a super form. With its ability to pilot previous Eggmobiles, and its ability to make a tactical retreat in its fight against knuckles, it currently stands as the second smartest Iron Sonic, second only to Metal Sonic during Sonic Heroes (and ONLY during Heroes) So yeah, to me, MK.II is the superior machine (Didn't expect to get a reply to this 3 years old reply)
@@dreamsolaris Wouldn't Metal count as an "iron hedgehog" in some way? Pretty sure he's made outta the same material of MK. II, but I'm probably wrong on that.
@@pacifistichuman82649 Well, yeah, Iron Hedgehogs include every android Eggman built (including those that aren't hedgehogs... idk, i didn't know what i could call them)
