Sonic 1 (GBA) worst
Are you Ls mark?
@@Pwilliams4000 no he is not
What bullshit were you using at 0:29 to get Tails to activate flight mid-air in Triple Trouble?

Sonic Genesis GBA is easily the most insufferable gaming experience I've ever had, And I played Hotel Mario for like three hours and I still thought Genesis was worse lol
At least hotel Mario has really funny cutscenes.
@@CreepyboomGamer That's what I was gonna say! These cutscenes are at least weirdly funny and memeable, Sonic Genesis is just a miserable experience
Hotel Mario at the end of the day is just a boring game at its worst, consisting of nothing but closing doors. Sonic Genesis is a terrible port that barely runs and changes the framerate on the fly, so I can see why you would find it far more frustrating.

I feel like hotel mario is better gba sonic 1 i rather play hotel mario then gba sonic 1
Functionally? Probably Free Riders.
Objectively? Probably Labyrinth or Blast.
Creatively? Probably Forces.
Overall? Probably All of it.
Can't wait for the next one.
won't functionally be objective
There's no such thing as "objectively"
Also put Sonic Chronicles the dark brotherhood on that checklist.
@@youmeltube when it comes to games i kinda disagree lol, like i can say something like "adventure is my favorite, but arguably sonic 3&k is the best game in the series objectively" that wouldnt be invalid to say
@@krxxc.kk6 What you'd mean to say in that case is: "I like Adventure more, but I think 3K is the better designed and put together game"
"Objectively" is a loaded word that implies a lot of factuality and "truth" to how video games are percieved which just doesnt exist, we're all humans with different ways of interpreting the art we see.
Free Riders makes me so upset because it single-handedly killed the Riders series, and we’ll never see the Babylon Rogues in a main plot of a Sonic game again.
At least “Free” is a banger.
They were never part of the main games, but I do get what you mean. It's a shame Riders died out because of Free Riders, and the rise of the "Racing" series.
Riders is part the main series still despit being a spin off
Well luckily they returned in the idw comics, thank god we have them.
If only they relesead a version of Free Riders without the Kinect controllers
I remember owning sonic x on leapster when I was a kid, definitely gave me quite a few memories.
The worst one I've played, which is most of them, is probably Sonic Blast. Feels like a bootleg.
A well known verified user, TheLonelyGoomba doesn’t have any replys and has only 2 likes?!
Let me change that by +1
Hey checkmark
I forgot about the existence of that game. I think I have it on the Gems Collection.
I see you alot, I'm on to you goomba. Yeah, you run. AND DON'T YOU DARE COME BACK.
yea
Confession time: I've never beaten the Genesis version of Spinball, but I did beat the Game Gear version once. On original, ghosty-screen hardware to boot.
The Genesis Version of Spinball is the harder version & to be fair neither Spinball was good. I beat the Gamegear version on GameCube, although never could get past the 1st Level of the Genesis version when playing Mega Collection.
Sonic is such a powerful mascot and character design that he can survive games that would end an ordinary character's entire franchise.
7:06
The reason is that the majority of us Brazilians are poor, the normal modern consoles are expensive on inhumane levels, and these master systems are pretty damn cheap so...
I've heard that the music in Sonic Chronicles wasn't always that bad, but for some reason, near the end of development, they lost all of the music files and had to start over in a very short amount of time. This caused them to have to use a horrible sound engine and end up with what we have today.
Damn is like that game is cursed or something.
@@zeromarurb4791 Two words, Ken Penders
@@sehan2999 what
@@FormerlyKnownAsGN look up videos on him, something along the lines of “How Ken Penders ruined Sonic”.
@@walkerphillips2818 yeah i know all that but what does he have to do with the music
I think the big problem of Chronicles is the everything is touch, and you have to do these little mini games everytime you use a special move, and sometimes it makes them stronger if you get it perfect, other moves it completely wastes your turn if you don't. It was just kinda tedious, it's like they copied Super Mario RPG but didn't realize that touch controls are just kinda annoying in general.
For me they were the best part of the game, just hammering the touch screen with the stylus.
The absolute worst part is the subtitles to other languages: yellow, barely readable, over the cutscene.
I really wish LS Mark was as cool as this fella….
We can only dream.
Has he ever shouted this channel out lol I found this today and recongized the voice instantly
If only 🥺🥺🥺
@@jordanknoxville yes but just mentioning him not spongerens
**sigh** why does ls mark have more subscribers but not as cool as splash dash, you’ve failed us ls mark..
@@jordanknoxville I recognized it too.
Just gonna second what you said. "It's Sonic Jam on the Game Com what the fuck is this?"
Like, for real, GBA Sonic Genesis being an atrocious port is a pretty safe pick for this. But i don't think Sonic Jam would even count like one, or being anymore than something barely, *barely* functional.
Also, already loved this video but gonna give it plus point for having the Saturn 3D Blast music during the transitions and outro. That's really a bop.
Personally, I think the battle music is more tolerable than the map music in Chronicles. In general, the final boss theme is underrated.
Overrated*
Eh, I don't think Chronicles is that bad to be honest. I haven't touched it since I 100% twice over a decade ago, sure, but I still think it had a lot of heart put into it with the character interactions and the ambitious story it wanted to tell. The devs, while being the B team at BioWare, clearly cared and studied the Sonic universe enough to write the story and character moments you see throughout the game, and I feel they got the personalities of all characters down.
The models have huge eyes so that you are able to see them from afar, btw. They were made with the DS screen and the perspective in mind. They aren't ugly because "lmao they suck". All in all I need to revisit it at some point, and the music is kinda bad, but I don't think it deserves as much hate as it gets. Also fuck Ken Penders.
Honestly, it's kinda wild but I did enjoy it when I played it on my ds. The story wasn't bad as I liked the galaxy travels the cast did as eggman plotted but I genuinely think that if the game wasn't in such a half-baked state our opinion wouldn't be so uncommon. But alas can't make a good sonic game with some inconvenience along the way.
Thank you! It's completely understandable not to enjoy the combat or puzzles but the effort put into the character interactions, lore and story are definitely up there. A shame Shade is now locked in lawsuit limbo. She had potential to be a compelling character as well as some more development for Knuckles possibly if this series took off.
The thing that always got me about the game is that, even though it wasn’t perfext by any means whatsoever, it still had like the skeleton of a good game in there. I feel like a sequel could’ve been made to iron out the issues the game had and it could’ve been better, but of course, anytime an Echidna that isn’t Knuckles shows up, Ken Penders flips out about someone stealing one of his OCs, and Sega just didn’t wanna deal with it, it seems- not that i blame them. Still, it’s a shame that this is like… the only Sonic RPG we’ve gotten. That’s an interesting route to take that i feel Sonic Team might not explore again.
Only the music soundfonts are awful.
@@404TVfr some of them aren't even that bad, sure none of them is colours level but they're not awful.
My biggest issue with Sonic Advance is the screen size is already too small causing a bunch of enemies hitting you because you can’t react fast enough and a bunch of leaps of faith, so I can only imagine how horrid playing with 3/5ths of the screen
I remember playing the first Sonic Advance game growing up and boy it was a pain to play at times, the screen size made it quite difficult to see what was next in front of you and what you said about the "leaps of faith" is 100% true. I really liked the game and it was fun for the time, but it really had issues and being made as a GBA game didn't help much in some areas.
If you guys had trouble with the screen size, wait until you hear what playing in 2002 was like. Original GBA didn't have a lit screen so you could barely make out anything in the game & every game on GBA was like that at 1st. The SP was a godsend for GBA Games!
You know you can at least give Sonic 06 the excuse that they tried even amidst the troubled development and there are some great ideas there along with good music unlike Sonic Genesis which just butchered a classic and didn’t add enough new shit.
Unrelated to the topic but talking about good Sonic games, I’m kind of surprised nobody has tried to remake Ultimate Flash Sonic as either a rom hack or Sonic Mania mod.
Well to be fair sonic 06 was rushed due to executive meddling because they wanted to be on the wii be out in time also for Christmas of that year aka it could have been a good game but like most triple A's today, it got rushed due to higher up control
I would love to see Ultimate Flash Sonic successor with more levels and taking some inspiration from Sonic Advance 3.
I mean we got a sonic advance mod for mania
UFS was basically a flash port of Sonic Advance 2 and i think there is a Advance 2 mod for mania
“They tried” doesn’t make the game any better
That one second of Joel laughing his ass at the exploding baby from sonic underground is so iconic I recognized it inmediatly, even if it was for 1 second.
Did you know you could go into the settings on Sonic Genesis and turn off sound to siginifcantly improve framerate? Game still sucks tho lol
If you need to turn off the music to make a Sonic game play well, what's the point?
@@zeroattentiongaming820 tbf the music for sonic genesis is literally headache inducing. idk how they butchered them so bad
14:22 imagine Amy just staring at you from your yard to the window
3:47
oh these are pretty cool bananas
*AHHHHHHHH*
14:55 this genuinely just sounds like me messing around with garageband
Really surprised not to see Sonic Labyrinth included.
I know, Sonic Labyrinth is extremely slow and has a really stupid plot
@@mariajimenafigueroa233 Well, to be fair, the plot feels like it was remade by Sega of America, similar to the American version of Knuckles Chaotix compared to the original Japanese version which is way more interesting and feels like something they should've used to expand the franchise's lore. Well, at least Sonic Labyrinth isn't considered canon and the game itself isn't actually all that bad.
The editor really decided to just mock Mark’s nonsense as opposed to talking to him and trying to get re-reads for lines or clarification,
And I’m HERE FOR IT.
2:29 HOLY SHIT SHADOW IS FUKING BALLIN'
I really hope Secret Rings or Rivals 1/2 aren’t slandered here 😅😭
Rivals 1/2 are pretty decent games, secret rings is pretty ass imo🌚
Nah theyre all good
@@kaio-k5781 I still have a huge soft spot for Secret Rings, and I’m pretty sure if they rereleased it today with no motion controls and instead a more traditional control format, more people would warm up to it and stop overhating 😅
Rivals is regarded as just OK
I tried Secret Rings with an Xbox controller and enjoyed it tbh
16:18. Why is nobody talking about the fact that the video also features Jim Caddick A.K.A. Caddicarus?
Sonic X on the leapster was my first sonic game, the nostalgia wave from this is crazy
How old were you?
I’m baffled they put Sonic Blast on the 3DS Virtual Console and not Sonic Chaos.
I think it's because of the fact that Gigalopolis' track is, for whatever reason, stolen from a piano model's test music
9:06 Oh wow, I didn't know this particular segment of the video was a collab with SplashDash's best friend, LS Mark, cool!
You know what would be a cool topic to talk about? How each sonic game teaches the player how to play the game in the first level or alternatively sonic level design.
2:14 Factually incorrect, Sonic's Schoolhouse is the greatest game, no, greatest piece of media to be conceived by man.
I thought that Chronicles was the shit back when I was 6 years old. I remember playing the game, getting stuck on a stage, and randomly losing the game. And the fact that I don't even remember almost the whole game is... wierd. But at the same time, I was 6.
I've been binging Splashdash videos and didn't even realize that this was new until Sonic Origins was mentioned. I just assumed I hadn't seen it yet 😓
I'm still waiting for an indepth ranking of all the Chaos Emeralds
The fourth one is where it's at, in my opinion.
Now, if only I could find where the fourth one is at...
@@ModBros8434 The fourth? Well I'll be damned
@@ModBros8434 yeah, where is that damn chaos emerald anyway?
I guess you could say that Sonic Blast isn't really a blast to play
tu dum tss
Probably got blasted by critics.
so i know this is defiantly a controversial take but i wish Sonic 06 got a remake. i think Sonic 06 has untapped potential to be a good sonic game but it seems whenever something doesn't work Sega never tries it again to make it better. i think the open world of Soleanna has a lot of potential to be explored further, i liked that each character played differently and could be expanded upon. i think a remake could do the game justice. remove the horrible bugs, update the graphics, add more interesting side quests, power ups, the ability to go super i any stage after a certain point, and defiantly change the plot especially the ending. i feel like it could work
p06
I agree.
Honestly I like that P06 is a game being made but yeah 06 deserves an official remake
6:55 Lol 🤣
And thus a new meme was born
*G Sonic* hanging around with his homies Knuckles and Robotnik, going to a trip in Mushroom Hill Zome
Yeh, they gon have a trip there alright 💀🍄😵💫
I would love to see you make a video on the riders series or just all the sonic racing games and the rating you’d give them,including rivals Bc I actually enjoyed those games and no one ever talks about them.
Riders, Team Sonic Racing and the SEGA racers as I wish the All-Stars games were still a thing were the only good imo.
I love how he spent a little over 16 1/2 minutes on explaining what the worst sonic games were to only plot twist and bring up something he didn’t even bother to try to explain but only with a small short clip in the front and back and saying that it was shitty. Mwha! Chefs kiss Splash Dash!
It is just insane to me that the V-Smile was a real thing and someone else had one. I thought I was misremembering my childhood, but no. I definitely had one
Does Splash Dash get weird looks at the supermarket while wearing his patented sonic themed costume
I swear, the controls in the Genesis version of Sonic Spinball already are like ice skating with a broken femur, the game gear version is just hellish.
There's also a Tiger LCD version
"See ? I told you sonic boom wasn't the worst game ever."
Worst then 06
You almost gave me a heart attack when you showed Sonic Spinball, only to mention the handheld version. I love the genesis version for all its worth, it's not some amazing game, it's just pinball based around controlling your character.
0:08 I will not accept such slander
0:02 nice single frame of Heroes
Yeah nice
5:13 i love how there where more pokemon games on the pico whitch mind you is a SEGA CONSOLE then sonic games.
i'm sorry, but Sonic's Schoolhouse just hits different, that is my ted talk
I mean, Sonic's Schoolhouse genuinely scares me, so, there's that.
@@sezunemizuhana3870 how could the magnum opus for the Sonic franchise scare you, it's obviously made for people of finest tastes, definitely not for 3 year old children who can't see straight
The Sonic X game was legitimately the first game I ever played. I've been wondering what it was for years lmao
2:03 Sonic Unleashed : Am I a joke to you
1:22 welp...
When I was young I loved Sonic Chronicles and played it religiously. Which might have been because it was the only game I had which allowed me to play as Shadow in a "story-based Sonic game"
Also the story was lowkey a banger and the new characters were hella cool, you can really tell the devs loved Sonic with how they characterized everyone and even down to their moves. It's a shame it was so under polished and rushed, plus Pender's later in the future ruining things. It really could have been great.
Same here, it was pretty fun to play as a young fella. The cliffhanger will forever bother me, knowing we'll never get a sequel hurts tbh.
I love how Penders is unanimously hated.
@@shinybearevidra iirc Sega did acknowledge Shade as a character recently, so take the L Penders.
@@angrycinnabon2956 I saw that! Pretty nice that Chronicles got acknowledged
you ever play Sonic Battle? it's highly story-based and there's an entire campaign for Shadow in it
Sonic Labyrinth because at least 06 and Sonic Boom can entertain me with their bullshit.
100%
10:03 wtf it sounds like his kinda game!!!!
0:44
“MORE LIKE 6 FEET UNDERGROUND!”
I swear to god it I see chronicles mentioned in this video I'll cry because I adore that game despite it absolutely sucking.
Edit: I'm absolutely livid
Well, it has its problems... still great though!
I really hope that if Penders sues Paramount he gets his ass kicked so hard that he loses the copyright of "his" characters.
Ooh, I got such a headache playing Sonic Genesis. The constant frame rate changes made it unplayable. Never before or since have I played a game so poorly made.
Cool vargskelethor reference at 0:44
was not expecting that in the slightest
I’d really like to see your ranking of the mainline sonic games in a future video.
4:17 that's funny that Sega of Japan turned it down cause that's what they did with Sony's Playstation after Sony wanted to get back at Nintendo for working with Philips
I was one of the few who loved Chronicles and I'm still holding a grudge against Penders.
The plot was good, the game wasn't easy but not frustratingly hard and the dialogue options were interesting.
Same bro I hated Ken penders to this day ( we need a remaster😞)
5:58 I never heard someone have a problem with that... in my opinion DKC Trilogy still looks good.
7:08 What can I say us brazillians have Sonic Blast on the Master System and some pirated game on PS2 for breakfast.
Dude, stop trying to pretend that you’re not Ls Mark
This is splashdash?
You know I was looking through my uncles gameboy games I was confused to find sonic adavcned 2 port for it, it wasn't half bad but was lacking in a lot of areas
I never heard someone saying that Spinball 8 bit is hard, I have it the master System version and I finished on the same day, but I never tried the game gear port so maybe it's a little different.
Fun fact: Master System Sonic Spinball (1995) was the second last game SEGA released for the Master System but the console had games until 1997, all of them being not popular in nether USA or Japan
And all of them were released in Brazil, because the Master System sold like hotcakes in Brazil for some reason.
@@rcmero that's because SEGA had hardware factories in Brazil and Brazil has godawful fees for import.
I almost choked with my water bottle as soon as I saw Sonic Unleashed
10:18
Oh shit nostalgia
i haven't played sonic jam (for obvious reasons) so out of every sonic game i've ever played, the worst has easily been sonic genesis gba. i'd love to know what they did to the physics to make them THAT bad and the camera is so erratic as well as the frame rate. i gave up in labyrinth zone (i'm amazed i made it that far tbh) because the lag was even worse due to the slowness of the water.
15:01 cold asf
Free Riders is one of the most frustrating video games I’ve ever played. When you spend over an HOUR on the freaking tutorial in a RACING GAME, you know your game has problems.
you sound familiar
14:41 fnf fans be like
Before watching the full video:
Sonic Labyrinth.
Subbed for Blaze the Cat pic 😍
Not gonna lie, they could port free riders on the switch and make it more interactive with the joy cons, but then again, would have to source out for the controller support
Would employers be impressed if I put "has beaten Sonic Genesis" on my resume?
8:30 I mean, this game isn't bad because is hard, is hard because is bad
3:19 To Skip Sponsor
Well, at least Sonic Free Riders got some sort of redemption when some guy decided to remove the Kinect controls from the game.
I hope some fans make projects to redeem some of these other bad games like Sonic Chronicles.
I'm going to tear you apart for putting spinball in the thumbnail
you got something wrong with sonic x, the rings actually do something, collecting them all in a stage gives you one of the chaos emeralds and if you get all of them and jump in the air nothing happens as super sonic doesnt exist
9:55 ok so we’re not going to talk about that sonicx is literally SA1 and 2
If you watch Rerez's review of the Game Com, you'd find that Tiger Electronics faked gameplay of Sonic Jam when selling the system, making the game appear faster than it actually was. Even the people who made the bloody thing it's running on know it's a piece of shit.
Here's something interesting. In Sonic Mania when you get the Lightning Shield and press X or Y or 🟪, depending on the console, on Debug Mode, you don't see the shield itself, but when you double jump, you can see the sparkles. The same thing applies here, 5:35
Note: What I just mentioned here was a glitch.
17:24 yes
Suprised not even a breath of Labyrinth didn't touch this video.
As someone who loves 06, I can appreciate that it wasn't in the thumbnail.
Speaking of leapster, me and my sister got into it when we were kids and I slug the leapster I had into her face like a whip. It was beautiful.
Rise of Lyric easily takes the crown. Big Red Button were an ill fit for the Sonic series. Literally the only things I like about Rise of Lyric is the voice work (except for Kirk Thorton as Shadow in that game) and how the characters actually look like they are interacting with each other.
Big Red Button were more than capable, look into the game's development and you'll realize that SEGA ultimately killed BOOM, they f*cked with BRB's work on every turn
I was binging your videos for 5 hours and you just uploaded lol
It just hit me. The "G" in Sonic G stands for Game Gear, like how the "N" in Sonic N stands for Nokia.
I swear, LS mark's weakness is Off Model animation, I will use him against it if I ever have to
Nice video tho
Any smooth brain would say sonic never had good games
(cough cough) *ign* (cough cough)
so true
Shadow Basketball is the best game ever created, let alone the best Sonic game.
- "SAY THE LINE!!"
- "your balls will thank you..."
- "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
12:15, hey! That's my recreation of the Sonic Advance logo! That's so cool!
Nice! This channel is awesome and informative!
9:34 you mean 3:2?
Holy shit I remember playing Sonic X on the Leapster. I never thought I’d see the day.
I love sonic heroes flashing on the screen when asking the question
