32:08 Fun fact - each one they get into corresponds to the design Eggman's vehicle had in their debut games (so Sonic is in the original, Tails is in the one from Sonic 2, Amy in Sonic CD's, and Knuckles - and this is the easiest to spot because Sonic or Tails actually operate it in a cutscene in that game to begin with - is in S3&K's), though the proportions are slightly different on the 2 and CD ones, presumably for balance reasons.
@@garretdrake2347I don’t watch any of jacob’s friends channels, so outbound of it as: Jacob/Sonic=Main character(His Channel) Izzy/Amy=Girl Jome/Tails=Tails chao pfp & Cade/Knuckles=Method of elimination
I really love how this game emphasized the idea of Eggman using animals to power his robots. Normally it’s just a detail that you ignore whenever you defeat one or beat a stage, but it’s on full display here with you seeing them actually reacting happily
Why is Knuckles not in the ending cinematic? Did he just like book it as soon as he realized all that was left was a big friendship victory moment? He's so real for this tbh.
6:00 he says it's the Omnidroid from Incredibles as a joke, but then the way to beat it is literally exactly the same as how they beat the Omnidroid in the Incredibles
I love when Knuckles used a special variant of the move “Tax Fraud” at 27:43 (edit: my bad it's Tax Evasion but I'm still going to call this variation Tax Fraud)
You can tell the sponsor is good when it's mentioned that you'd do it for free, and you're still showcasing all the bugs that go with it since it adds to the enjoyment (screaming) of the video, it's basically free money at that point and you deserve it
Which surprises me because all I have heard of the multiplayer in this game is that it sucks because of the camera, and here everyone is having an absolute blast.
Cool Alpharad Facts: Alpharad was initally going to call this video "Sonic Superstars is not made for 4 players", in reference to his 3D World video (reference), but then Sega went "No stop being mean it is for 4 players >:((".
when they said "oh from the incredibles, it's syndrome!" and then immediately after said "ohh we have to get him to stab himself" JUST like they do in incredibles, that had me laughing so hard lol
This game is the perfect example of why you should NOT skip out on side stuff. So far nobody I've watched has seen that their custom pvp robot is a boss battle.
That's unfortunate. I realized as soon as I saw the robots lined up in the pods and Eggman carry one away that it was probably gonna come up later during my playthrough so I literally customized it just because I had a feeling
@@Ultradragon16 During my first run as sonic i just had the basic version, but when i replayed the game as Trip, I had turned the Robot into Metal Sonic, and man it made that fight so much cooler. Thinking about replaying it again while waiting for the new Generations game.
At this point I’m fully convinced that if Sega ever released a full polish, og side scrolling at Mach Jesus with 0 bugs and features the community has wanted for years it would be the exact opposite of “I’ll never financially recover from this” in that they’ll make so much money in sales they’ll never be able to do it again and endlessly chase that high until they go bankrupt
I love how you guys keep calling each other sonic tails knuckles and may instead of your names like right at 8:45 is really good audio for a little animation
Absolutely love how many call backs to wisp powers there are in this game! alpharad definitely noticed too seeing as how he did the voices for drill and rocket (there are probably others he mentioned, i just forgot lol)
I love that there's this slight bit of gaslighting going on with Sonic where for some reason everyone seems to believe the green chaos emerald is the master emerald as if the master emerald isn't giant and predominantly featured in like 4 separate games.
love the sonic coin moment and the fact that you not only have to beat the boss but you allso have to win the 50/50 gacha in order to actually beat the level is hilarious
To answer the question of why sonic games often include a casino, or at least a guess as to why: sega's parent company is a pachinko machine manufacturer
this was so entertaining to watch. it's legitimately so much more fun with friends!! also ftr the timer means nothing during the final boss fight, i don't know why it's included tbh. and i'm sad that you can't even go super in the final fight at all. but the chaos and teamwork of multiplayer is worth everything
Cool, they sponsored you!!! Loved the vid had me dying of laughing! The multi-player is fun i just wish it didnt drag ppl so much if you go off screen for a second and randomly picks who to follow lol TwT I still love the game tho :D YES SONIC SPINBALL IS FUN
there's an emerald stage where it's catch the medals, but there's only bounce up things so you almost never go forward. it's impossible it looks like the green emerald stage they do.
I played this with my lil bro and on the final boss anytime we triggered the second phase and we were too close to the elft eggman would just stomp us back to the last checkpoint. Lil bro said it was unfair but as a true sonic fan i told him it was our skill issue.
I'd only heard bad things about this game, but I gotta say there were some neat moments in there that felt actually unique and like they brought something new to the formula. Still no idea what was up with Trip being a dragon or whatever that was though lol.
Glad to see Sega didn't hard cut all the glitches. I honestly wouldn't have believed a Sonic game with no glitches existed anyway. Although maybe a better studio could produce a game without so many glitches IMO IMO
I love how this is a sponsored video by SEGA and it literally showcases all the bugs and things you desperately DON'T want people to know is in your Sonic game.
Unless it's just a switch thing or there was some secret baby mode on by default I didn't know about, the timer hitting 0 on the final boss doesn't actually do anything. It just stays 0 and you play the game as normal lol the whole final act when I beat it was probably took me like 15-20 minutes because I'm so bad lmao
the group calling each other by their character's names was strangely endearing
Yeah just hearing “AMY?! AMY!!!” Was great I should just do that all the time now when I play with friends
Which is rare…
I genuinely think they instantly lost track of who was who and the game was just too chaotic to figure it out
@@dotraj8704100% this is the reason lol. I played with 3 friends and we did the exact same thing because its impossible to remember who is who.
I'm fairly confident that is the default when playing with a group of friends in a game like this
Brings me back to playing Sonic 2 with my older sister playing Tails 😌
32:08 Fun fact - each one they get into corresponds to the design Eggman's vehicle had in their debut games (so Sonic is in the original, Tails is in the one from Sonic 2, Amy in Sonic CD's, and Knuckles - and this is the easiest to spot because Sonic or Tails actually operate it in a cutscene in that game to begin with - is in S3&K's), though the proportions are slightly different on the 2 and CD ones, presumably for balance reasons.
yeah I wasn’t aware of where exactly each design was from, but I had a feeling they were
To be exact, the one knuckles is in is the same as the one that he used in launch base zone in the cutscene before fighting big arms in sonic 3
I believe Trip has her own one as well, piloting the Egg Scorcher MKIII
@@TactFNCyes
nerd
27:41 Ah... Knuckles and infinite height glitches... Never laughed so damn hard before..... 😂
The fact that it happened again after sonic boom, and then knuckles height just causes the entire world to dissolve was absolutely hillarious
It's two games in a row too 😭
Lop this is the third one…
First we had tax fraud, then the one in Frontiers now this one lmfao
Alrighty then. Let’s go get those miners (ors)
@@LettuceGayming look a ramp, we can use this as a ramp!
(Can we plz just convert this into a threat of Sonic Boom quotes)

"Stop filling the air with *DROWNING NOISES*!"
"It's my enemy stand!"
I don't know why Jacob as Sonic, Jome as Tails, Cade as Knuckles and Izzy as Amy felt so perfect but it did.
because Alpha is the main character (at least on his own channel), Izzy is a Girl, Cade is big, and Jome was little bro before Colin.
@@garretdrake2347I don’t watch any of jacob’s friends channels, so outbound of it as:
Jacob/Sonic=Main character(His Channel)
Izzy/Amy=Girl
Jome/Tails=Tails chao pfp

Cade/Knuckles=Method of elimination
No
Dude even their voices kinda fit? I love it
I know everybody else's channels but what's Cade's?
I really love how this game emphasized the idea of Eggman using animals to power his robots. Normally it’s just a detail that you ignore whenever you defeat one or beat a stage, but it’s on full display here with you seeing them actually reacting happily
Why is Knuckles not in the ending cinematic? Did he just like book it as soon as he realized all that was left was a big friendship victory moment? He's so real for this tbh.
He has duties. He was only there cause the world was potentially in danger
In our multiplayer game, I was leading as Knuckles and got his ending where yes, they do just drop him off at the master emerald and leave
he left in angel island, as the final cinematic shows. he got a good smile out of it tho.
Weirdly enough, Knuckles has his own ending cutscenes, which is odd considering the others get the standard ending so idk ahy they didnt just combine
@@hamstersandwich9917 *EVERYONE* gets a unique ending dude.
A sponsored Sonic video is a hilarious concept. Game breaks, everyone goes “HUH,” and then we just cut to a fun boss fight
Getting an official Sega sponsorship is wild
they're mad at arin hanson so they're sponsoring everyone else now lol
They invited him to play frontiers early
He's literally been sponsored by Pokémon
What's even wilder is Jacob including all the glitches in his sponsored video
@@Bighomie39Jacob tells the truth whenever possible tbh.
There probably wasn't anything that specifically said he couldn't do it either so he did.
I love how many times sega has "reimagined" classic sonic in the past years
they're trying lol
Except this time it's actually good
@@huskyhsd1416how many times has "this time it's actually good" been the descriptor lol
@@xhshdd7113 eventually it'll be true
@@huskyhsd1416”good” lol
6:00 he says it's the Omnidroid from Incredibles as a joke, but then the way to beat it is literally exactly the same as how they beat the Omnidroid in the Incredibles
The best part of this video has to be Alpha turning Super Sonic for the first (and last) time and dying instantly.
29:35
25:55 Cade's lone "She's hot?!?" is so goddamn funny to me.
Cade is always spitting at times like this
I love when Knuckles used a special variant of the move “Tax Fraud” at 27:43 (edit: my bad it's Tax Evasion but I'm still going to call this variation Tax Fraud)
i'm sorry what
@@highdefinition450you wouldn't get the joke.
no, you couldn't begin to COMPREHEND IT.
also, it's evasion not fraud.
YES IT'S A TRIBUTE TO THAT LEGENDARY MOVE
@highdefinition450 When Jacob played Sonic Boom, he was using Knuckles infinite jump and the official sonic account referred to it as tax evasion
That would be "Tax Evasion" my good friend
Alpharad is like sonic in real life because he is blue and collects rings
so true
what
@@ocarinaholmesHis profile pic is blue, his drawing of himself usually consists of a blue shirt, and he is collecting wedding rings
And he’s a bisexual furry
@duelmasteryuya1205 what do you mean "collecting wedding rings?" He's bisexual, not polygamous
7:09 This has to be the most beautiful tandem “no” I’ve ever heard.
"Can I say something?"
"NO"
“Bugs?! In my Sonic game??” God that’s so real
You can tell the sponsor is good when it's mentioned that you'd do it for free, and you're still showcasing all the bugs that go with it since it adds to the enjoyment (screaming) of the video, it's basically free money at that point and you deserve it
The chaos emerald sections are so panic-inducing with this group even when I’m just watching madness unfold through a RUclips video
32:19 "you either fight god or go to space" -Jacob Alpharad, 2022
He's not wrong, honestly.
I like how Weegee shouted the Wisp powerups whenever they came up like it was in the game.
DRILL
ROCKET
Even if the content is sponsored, you always find a way to make it fun and ridiculous. Keep up the good work!
The character choices match up SO well with Alpharad’s friends
true lol
Each person matched the energy of their characters. It's so amazing!
I love seeing a group of adults having a blast with a sonic game in this day and age.
Which surprises me because all I have heard of the multiplayer in this game is that it sucks because of the camera, and here everyone is having an absolute blast.
@@reydesonicit sucks to watch but it’s so jank it makes it fun when you’re playing it yourself
I like how the gamebreaking glitches are almost exclusively Cade
25:40 this whole scene was incredible from start to finish.
SHE'S HOT?!
You know it’s a good multiplayer game where the game becomes actively more difficult and annoying when you play it with friends
Cool Alpharad Facts: Alpharad was initally going to call this video "Sonic Superstars is not made for 4 players", in reference to his 3D World video (reference), but then Sega went "No stop being mean it is for 4 players >:((".
source: dude trust me
And how exactly do you know this?
They can't say the source or youtube will delete it, you must venture yourself for it
@@squid_cakesource?
when they said "oh from the incredibles, it's syndrome!" and then immediately after said "ohh we have to get him to stab himself" JUST like they do in incredibles, that had me laughing so hard lol
The fact he called it syndrome when that’s the villains name, not the robot’s made it even funnier 😂
21:54 Did nobody else see Knuckles enter in the zone? Like, he just spinning.
This is hilarious in comparison to the gold upload, Jacob knew half these things were going to be there and still acted flabbergasted
I like how everyone's voice matches their character
Izzi’s voice is so cute it fits Amy perfectly
The Big The Cat open world fan game did the thing with the emeralds giving you powers first
which i think is more hilarious than anything, personally
Ngl, hearing big RUclipsrs address Fang by name after years of him being this hella obscure character is kinda wild
there is currently 27 and a half children in my basement
Congratulations!

Cool
@@ethio1931I can’t tell if it’s satire or not
There are currently 20,869 Cambodian workers in my farms
I love how even on a sponsored video this game doesn't behave or holds back it's glitches
This dynamic reminds me of both older Alpharad content and Friends Without Benefits. I loved how this video was done. Nostalgia right there.
This game is the perfect example of why you should NOT skip out on side stuff. So far nobody I've watched has seen that their custom pvp robot is a boss battle.

Anyone who plays Amy is destined to be goated
I try
At this point I’m fully convinced that if Sega ever released a full polish, og side scrolling at Mach Jesus with 0 bugs and features the community has wanted for years it would be the exact opposite of “I’ll never financially recover from this” in that they’ll make so much money in sales they’ll never be able to do it again and endlessly chase that high until they go bankrupt
Honestly if this happens Ill eat every article if clothing i own
I love when tails just takes the screen away from Sonic and friends
Those moments where they start the youtuber voices, but then suddenly drop it cause someone actually crazy is happening(usually a bug).
I love how you guys keep calling each other sonic tails knuckles and may instead of your names
like right at 8:45 is really good audio for a little animation
Ah yes
May
They weren't under water in the Lagoon. They just forgot to stop holding their breath.
Absolutely love how many call backs to wisp powers there are in this game! alpharad definitely noticed too seeing as how he did the voices for drill and rocket (there are probably others he mentioned, i just forgot lol)
That was Weegee, not alpha
You know what I mean lol
"This game is so many games" truer words have never been spoken. This game looks phenomenally chaotic in the best way
Its like monkey ball but stupider
"Tails just fly to it, you have a tail!" - Weegee the God
I love that there's this slight bit of gaslighting going on with Sonic where for some reason everyone seems to believe the green chaos emerald is the master emerald as if the master emerald isn't giant and predominantly featured in like 4 separate games.
The video that Jacob was originally going to name “Sonic Superstars was not designed for multiplayer
back when the sonic series still seemed to hate itself they probably would have let him
love the sonic coin moment and the fact that you not only have to beat the boss but you allso have to win the 50/50 gacha in order to actually beat the level is hilarious
What level has a 50/50 after beating the boss?
@@Ultradragon16 the final boss i believe
The multiplayer is gonna be fire when I play with my friends
We've come far from Alpharad making videos on silly games and knockoffs, to literally having 3 game sponsorships a week.
27:48
"FALL!!!"
[Finger on the monkey's paw curls]
the amount of fun izzibel is having gives me life
more games should get multiplayer like this
32:11 Oh my God. Each of the Egg-O-Matics are modeled after the designs from the game each respective character debuted in.
13:53 bro this bug is inescapable in Sonic superstars videos uploaded this week, first radical soda, then charii5, now Alpharad
To answer the question of why sonic games often include a casino, or at least a guess as to why: sega's parent company is a pachinko machine manufacturer
21:32 did you know you can get crushed from the UPSIDE of the screen. That happened to be as Super Trip. THIS LEVEL IS CURSED!
this was so entertaining to watch. it's legitimately so much more fun with friends!! also ftr the timer means nothing during the final boss fight, i don't know why it's included tbh. and i'm sad that you can't even go super in the final fight at all. but the chaos and teamwork of multiplayer is worth everything
Man, I can't wait for Sega to check this video out and see all of the bugs
Cool, they sponsored you!!! Loved the vid had me dying of laughing! The multi-player is fun i just wish it didnt drag ppl so much if you go off screen for a second and randomly picks who to follow lol TwT
I still love the game tho :D
YES SONIC SPINBALL IS FUN
Of all the sonic history in this game, It's nice to see the sonic boom legacy of glitchy knuckles.
I LOOOOOOOVE how fitting these guys are to the character there playing as and idk about you but jome gets a little flattered when called cute
The true final boss was the glitches we found along the way
Jacob: This (emerald stages) really makes me feel like a team :D
Also Jacob: FALLBITCH!! FALL!!!!!!! D=
Loving the content as always alpha!
The voices for all the characters were spot on in this video. Everyone sounded like their character lol
Little does Alpharad know, there’s still the Super Sonic boss which I think is unlocked after getting the emeralds as Trip
Its also a very badly designed boss
@@Ferelheartawesome
@@FerelheartThankfully it’s also the only BAD boss fight in the game.
so glad i wasn't the only one who encountered the multiplayer clipping issues causing a boss reset
i absolutely love that stuff like this lets you know the game mechanics are still running when you wouldn't expect them
9:12 Dude predicts the level design
I love how even the superstars advertisements show off the glitches
there's an emerald stage where it's catch the medals, but there's only bounce up things so you almost never go forward. it's impossible it looks like the green emerald stage they do.
Aren't there normal nodes below the upwards cannons?
@kingacrisius yes but it's confusing to me because theyre so far below are you supposed to just jump up somehow and catch it from below?
@@TKize777 Yeah that's my understanding. I agree that it's clunky.
Those are just repeats of the original Emerald stages once you've gotten the Emerald for that zone (or all seven already).
@@Hyperneosonic97 yes but the medals travel far faster
7:05 This was such a *Sonic the Hedgehog moment.*
"He's an ally" part caught me off guard 😂😂😂
this video's style felt almost nostalgic, i love all the new content but this felt like one of the supercuts that got me into the channel years ago ❤
12:30 Oh man, they didn't find the Tails Doll.
I played this with my lil bro and on the final boss anytime we triggered the second phase and we were too close to the elft eggman would just stomp us back to the last checkpoint. Lil bro said it was unfair but as a true sonic fan i told him it was our skill issue.
i wanna see someone animate 34:28 " its okay your friends are here knuckles" *splat*
36:30 Eggman literally just said "Strike that! Reverse it!" after his robot got wrecked the first time.
funny how knuckles kept breaking the game and i found it so funny how super sonic was there and immediately died
Super Sonic was NOT the Superstar.
I'd only heard bad things about this game, but I gotta say there were some neat moments in there that felt actually unique and like they brought something new to the formula. Still no idea what was up with Trip being a dragon or whatever that was though lol.
22:04 ARE YOU THE SONIC COLORS ANNOUNCER?!?!?!
Glad to see Sega didn't hard cut all the glitches. I honestly wouldn't have believed a Sonic game with no glitches existed anyway.
Although maybe a better studio could produce a game without so many glitches IMO IMO
i'll take good design with glitches over bad design but glitch-free
21:58
THAT FRAME WITH KNUCKLES! That really got a chuckles out of me, and I swear that pun was unintentional
Sonic becomes so much more chaotic when you can play with friends as seen by Jacob and his friends
I love how this is a sponsored video by SEGA and it literally showcases all the bugs and things you desperately DON'T want people to know is in your Sonic game.
I love how your friends' voices sound like their characters in some way.
the sonic superstars multiplayer is actually SO chaotic, my parents got me it and me and my dad were STRUGGLING to stay together it was so funny
The golden capital area was HILARIOUS.
Never once did I ever think I'd hear THE Alpharad say Geometry Dash
27:50 of course it was Knuckles
13:08 first bug happened
13:50 second bug happened
17:31 third bug happened
18:51 fourth bug happened?
27:50 fifth bug happened
it's amazing that you still got the sponsorship despite the sheer number of glitches that happen in your video
What do you mean "apparently"? It was the main selling point of the game. That was YOUR main selling point of the game.
This is a calmer version of Sidequest
Unless it's just a switch thing or there was some secret baby mode on by default I didn't know about, the timer hitting 0 on the final boss doesn't actually do anything. It just stays 0 and you play the game as normal lol the whole final act when I beat it was probably took me like 15-20 minutes because I'm so bad lmao
Always a good day when we get two alpharad vids
The cutscene at the end looked so good I feel like an anime style Sonic TV show style game would be amazing
