Fun Fact: The colour palette for Dr. Starline, a villain character from the IDW Sonic comics, was inspired by Wechidna (even the name was inspired by the line of stars Wechidna is called in Chaotix’s debug mode).
Hey guys, how about a Minor Glitch episode to get you through till the next Son of a Glitch? Thanks for the massive support recently, means a ton. Enjoy! Andy
Great video Andy, I miss this game I had it as a kid. By the way I love the new office it's awesome! Can't wait for the next SOAG! Cheers to you and your family from NY!
Fun Fact Sonic Crackers could have also been called Sonic Stadium. The ROM header of Crackers calls it "Sonic Studium" likely due to iffy Japanese translation.
The reason Wechnia uses Mighty's palette is because Tails usually uses Sonic's palette. I found this out by looking at Sonic's palette in Sonic 2 and it's safe to assume that every other game has Tails using Sonic's palette. I"m also 99.9% certain that the palette Sonic and Tails in Sonic 3&K is the same as Sonic 2. (The unused intro cutscene for Sonic 3 further backs this up)
Am I the only one actually creeped out by Wechnia? Something about the face and the erratic movements... I wouldn't be surprised if there were creepypastas about this.
i've looked everywhere i couldnt and no sign of wechnia in a creepypasta. i've even tried switching the name to ********** but i couldnt find anything that had him in a creepypasta.
My favorite sprite of Wedchnia is when he gets tired. He looks at you mouth-open like he is whining at you because he is tired LOL XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Sega needs to make another sonic mania game where Ashura the Hedgehog and Wechidna are unlock able characters. Ashura’s could be to swim fast and swim up waterfalls and Wechidna can fly and stun enemies. Anyone with me?
Why? It's actually a rather $#!+ game. Considering 3D Sonic is worse than 2D Sonic I think a remake in modern times would be extra awful. If they're going to put time and money into a classic style game it would be much better for them to make something new that we haven't played before, just with a classic feel and look and definitely no overbearing gimmicks.
Great video as always! It's fun to see this often forgotten classic explored. Of course, the whole bit about Sonic, Tails, Wechnia and the Sonic Crackers connection to Chaotix is old news to anyone who was involved in researching the old Sonic games. Good old times! If I'm not mistaken, Pachuka was the one who coined the name "Wechnia" for the glitched character. That large Sonic sprite (edited from Mighty) was made by my fiancée, who also discovered Amy Rose hidden in the game's data.
You can emulator because it's pretty much the only way to play the game. I have an emulator for kirby super star ultra but I have the right because I lost both of my actual copies
RandomCottenRange Zone emulators are in fact not illegal at all. Downloading ROMs or ISOs is illegal. Ripping ROMs and ISOs from cartridges and disks that you already own and putting them on your computer to play through the emulator is also *not* illegal. The only thing that's illegal is getting ROMs and ISOs from the internet without paying the publisher or devs (Like buying a game from steam)
I'm so pleased to see somebody acknowledge the existence of this game. It's one of the best Sonic series games and, tragically, the only classic Sonic game that has never been rereleased. And it's one of the more expensive 32X games.
Rena Kunisaki chaotix let you go negative because you could use rings as currency for the feature that forced your partner back to your location if you finished the stage in the negatives, you got a game over
I just had an idea: Instead of calling this mini-series "Minor Glitch," why not name this "lil glitch" to be more in line with the pun in the name "Son of a Glitch"?
Very cool to see left over dev stuff in the glitches I'm surprised no one has done a ROM hack to put Sonic and Tails back into the game yet... or maybe they have and I've just missed it?
I used to have a sega genesis emulator on my phone once. I loaded up knuckles chaotix once and put it the code to get the glitched tails. I honestly thought my game would crash too but surprisingly it worked. I couldn’t fly though
kanimou & Knuckles w/chuckles & knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles and knuckles.
Apparently, they took out Sonic and Tails from Knuckles Chaotix (or "cancelled" Sonic Crackers, which was put on the 32x later in development) because they were concerned that the severely under-performing 32x would cause the fairly standard traditional Sonic game to severely under-perform as well and damage the brand... even though I don't think that would do anything to brand, but whatever.
the real first appearance of mighty was in the "Sega Sonic the Hedgehog" game released as far as I'm aware as an arcade game & only in Japan, it was also the only appearance [until mania plus] of the character Ray
I find it funny that Wechnia, the glitch character that people had latched onto enough to be given his own name like the Ashura glitch from Sonic 2, was actually just Tails the whole time
I discovered this one glitch where after you complete a stage, 2 of the characters just spin around in the black void with some of the hub music playing in the background.
The glitched character looks like whoever made it tried to beat it out of existence, but somehow survived long enough to become whatever the hell it is now.
the reason why wegenia(?) uses knuckles' sprite and mighties' colour pallet is because when the game is given a sprite that it has no memory of, it uses the next best thing. It uses knuckles' sprite because it uses weighted averages to find out which sprite between knuckles and mighty(the two closest characters to wegenia on the player select screen, therefore the two closest ones code-wise) to use, because knuckles' side has more characters on it, knuckles' sprite was used, and therefore mighties' color pallet was used so that wegenia didn't look like a glitchy knuckles.
Fun Fact: The colour palette for Dr. Starline, a villain character from the IDW Sonic comics, was inspired by Wechidna (even the name was inspired by the line of stars Wechidna is called in Chaotix’s debug mode).
Also note that Echidnas and Platypi are the only egg-laying mammals.

I believe Wechina was the name of a white echidna character in the sonic comics
I guess you can say some of these glitches are Chaotic. *Badum tsss*
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!
its confirmed that sonic games are Glitchy but the ripoffs are like almost safe from the glitches.
Stop--
maybe they are less glitchy because Sonic Team are lazy and only do really good work when it is something they enjoy making?
How is lazy? If I'm not felling it, I'm not going to bother either. Game development is hard work you know.
Wow! I've heard of both Kunckles Chaotix and Sonic Crackers but I never knew they shared some history! Very fascinating!

There's a few glitches not shown here...

Not as far as I know. It sold pretty well and is often considered one of the better Kirby games.
It was just a suggestion but sure lets go with that
