If they animated a tv show with this style I would cry
Gaming With Bowser same
they need to add Harambe though
I'd rather a show about ALL of Sonic, from classic to present. Not just one era, but all of them
They made a movie with this style in 1999, and it was pretty damn decent. "Sonic the Hedgehog Movie" into RUclips.
Gaming With Bowser :)
Does this music make anyone else wanna cry with joy?

I sing this song everyday because it makes me happy i sing it because I love this song
YES I still get chills everytime I revisit this trailer.
Yeah 😭
What's the name
Fun fact: The animator made the redesign for the sonic movie.
That dude should be in charge. He makes Sonic look like a masterpiece and takes good care, and singlehandedly saved Sonic as a whole
I need his name
@@ZucchiniAT his name is Tyson Hesse
@@AngieAJ the movie maybe but not the franchise as a whole
@@blitz4506 please, if he hadn't saved the movie, the whole franchise would look like a joke
0:55 "Play with a friend"
*Immediately ditches him*
0:35
Basically coop in this game is desperately trying to catch up to sonic as tails being off screen
God can we just talk about how beautiful the animation is? So damn smooth and retro, so vibrant. I'm not even Sonic fan but god this makes me want to go buy it
LGND-R7 it makes me want a Tom and Jerry Esqu cartoon with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in this art style!
Demi-Fiend of Time right!? So well done
dafuq? tom and jerry style? lmfao
lxxv nah he's right. Both have very wavy and thick lines, and the way the characters move are very similar, albeit the fact that sonic is of course much faster. Both a very floaty animations and are very lively
I mean that's what happens when you work on something for so long.. six months long to be exact I recall the time spent on making this animation
This intro and especially the song just radiate a feeling of pure joy and happiness that I’ve almost never felt from any other song out there. It’s like Nostalgia.
Exactly
Makes me cry so much and I love it for it,
I know its been 9 months but this song was produced by Hyper Potions if youd like more :D
Makes me emotional the comment and the animation.
Yep 👍
6 years ago?! I swear this just launched yesterday.
The memories never disappear
Time flies fast
Yes indeed should i make a sonic speech
Fr
Same i even remember the day that I bought the game and it was popular like it was yesterday i mean a lot of gameplays longplays and even mod videos where popular how i miss those times
I still haven't beaten the game yet lol.
Hey
Hey Nintendo... did you notice something?
THIS STARTED OUT AS A FAN PROJECT
THAT SEGA ALLOWED AND HELP THE ORIGINAL CREATOR TO MAKE BY HIRING THEM
I think he already knows
They’re not obligated to do that. And they could have spent all their effort to make their own thing
@@MogusMasterSaikawa22 I'm not saying that they need to hire everyone who makes a fan-game. They just need to stop being jerks when it comes to copyright smiting.
As far as I know they’re always within their rights to do that
@@MogusMasterSaikawa22 Not really because most of the time the people make the fan game aren't getting any money out of it
I wouldn't mind a TV show based of this story with this art style.
Isaiah Ogundeko I
As long as Cartoon Network doesn't make the script
There's an old sonic anime film that looks just like this. I think it's on RUclips in full dub. I used to own it on vhs.
Go back to the beginning, when cartoons had NO VOICE, just music, and plot-important things were explained on a screen you had to read.
creekandseminole Wait wait wait what is it called!! I have to know!
I’m not the biggest Sonic fan, but I’m in love with this art style.
play some good Sonic games, be suprised :)
Nathan L this was my first sonic game, so I had a good first impression, but then I played forces and hated that game
Homie Sobble first Sonic game? you've been missing bon some epic gems like Gens, Sonic 2, 3&k, rush, battle, advance trilogy, colors Ds, etc.
as well as some controversial yet decent games like SA1, SA2, heroes
colors, unleashed, and riders
Homie Sobble you can play a good amount of 2D Sonic games on mobile and on emulators
BlitzWolfer I really wanna play generations one day, I just have a lot of other stuff to play. Like Dragon Quest XI S, Yoshi’s Island, And Fire Emblem:Three Houses.
It’s nearly the 3 year anniversary for this games release
Happy 30 th birhday sonic for 2021
The game is turning 30 yrs old
socks the cat we probably will get a good game or it will end up like Mario’s anniversary, I kinda want generations to be a port to the switch since I never got to finish it and maybe unleashed since I didn’t get to play it either

Everyone is talking about the game or getting a switch but is no one gonna talk about how CUTE Tails looks?! I mean look at that face he's adorable.
Kobe Villarreal I agree
Well I mean nothing is cutier than classic Tails in Sonic universe
Classic Tails is best Tails
YES

5 Years Later And This Trailer Is Still A Masterpiece.
One of the most cleanest most beautiful art style I've ever seen
Agreed
Finally, after all these years...
Sonic finally looks happy
Sonic colours cof cof
He's happy in all the others sonic games..
Oh thx I understand now now :)
burger boy The classic Japanese Sonic art always had him happy.
This is why i like classic sonic more than modern. Modern sonic is usually much more edgy and angry about everything. Even with stupid stories like in adventure 1 and 2 (also generations)
Seems like Cristian Whitehead knows more about Sonic than Sonic Team themselves.
It would be cool if they put him up to making Sonic 5
qwertylerqw3 if there is one
Grofy Sonic Team still supervised the game though lol more like the Sonic fanbase can be toxic on the internet about what they really want a lot of times.
I wouldn't say that there will never be a Sonic 5... Even if Sega themselves came out and said it, things change.
Grofy Your comment sucks so badly, butthurt brat.
"Sega does what Nintendon't"
Nintendo: I'm just gonna pretend I didnt see that
1:30 My favorite part!
Mine is most definitely 1:02. :>
Here's mine 1:32

That moment when knuckles is back to normal and your happy with it
YES!
Edit: realises how damn hilarious boom knuckles is
Happymonday 2015 he's a meme in boom.
Boom Knuckles has grown to me, but Classic Knuckles is best Knuckles (Modern is also pretty decent though. I just didn't like Knuckles' role in Forces).
ajkmw3 The gamer oh yes
YOU DONT KNOW THE WAY.
*Nintendo* released a *sega* launch trailer…what has my life become
You've been late for 15 years buddy
Are you from the 90s or what?
mario and sonic at the Olympic games be like
am i a joke to you
This is what we call a collab. Brings tears to my eyes
It’s Liesened by Nintendo that’s why.
WHO'S HERE AFTER HEARING THIS IN THE SONIC MOVIE?????????
MEEE?????
Yeah it was awesome hearing it in there
Nice Kaoru pfp
MEEE!!!!!
I'm Blue 💙
"THIS is the island where I'm from. It had EVERYTHING: sandy beaches, cascading waterfalls, public access to loop-de-loops, and I never had to catch a schoolbus because I could run across the entire island in less than two seconds. Also, there was no school. I know, pretty sweet island, right?"
“I was born with extraordinary powers, and was told to keep them secret. And like any other kid, I did the exact opposite.”
"That's Longclaw. She took care of me."
"She was basically Obi-Wan Kenobi. If Obi-Wan Kenobi had a beak and ate mice."
*sigh* "Sonic, someone could have seen you."
"No one saw me! I'm too fast! And... (reveals sunflower) I wanted to bring you this."
why am I loving this music so much!?
Sandeep ZX Hyper Potions did the track!
H Cortes Really ?? That's why it sounded so good. Hyper Potions are awesome !!! What's the name of the song ?

errrr... there was a tv show.... and it was this exact art style... lols... go google it.

and there *is* a movie
At 1:26 I was like : Whoaao whats that, Dr.Robotdick XD
Pingas!
aldexitoelpipa Dr. Eggman and the Hard-Boiled Heavies.
You can just tell the amount of love and passion they put into this. I love it
I’ve always really loved how much of a love letter to fans this intro animation is, I love returning to this trailer for fun to watch it again after I first saw it years ago right before the launch of Sonic Mania. I’ve always been a very casual Sonic fan since childhood since I’ve always been a hardcore Mario fan ever since I was a child, but I did always love watching Sonic X on cable Saturday mornings and I loved playing Sonic Rush on my DS when I was a little.
I'm not a Sonic fan, but I'm happy the fans are getting what they wanted
Technically we never wanted this game in particular. We just wanted a new good sonic game. Also the way you said that you are not a sonic fan was very good cuz you can very easily trigger the sonic fanbase
RaaaR how?
Bart Simpson Thanks smart person!
You're too 'nice' to be on the internet.

Might be a dumb question but is this a remake of the first 4 sonics?

Can we please just see a Sonic movie in this style?
Evan Sampson™ i wouldn't mind a series in this style tbh
Evan Sampson™ there already was. It's called sonic ova
Olivier.wmv
I already know about that. It's only an hour long and only features five original Sonic characters (that includes Metal Sonic). That was a while ago and few people know about it. It was split into two parts, I think. I'm talking a legitimate feature-length film.
Olivier.wmv
And the "OVA" isn't part of the title. It means "original video animation".
we already did, its the metal sonic movie
Omg the animation is so good!!
Thank Paul ter Voorde

Hello Sonic, Tails, Knuckles. We've waited over 20 years for you to come back in all your pixelated glory.
We've missed you guys.
marrier9999 Ya Mean Classic Sonic Classic Tails And Classic Kuckles Sorry for My English
:( Sonic is 20 years old, isn't he??
And those of us who played those games as kids are older still. Scary isn't it?
marrier9999 actually Knuckles and Tails appeared on 2D Pixelated Games from the Advanced Series
I haven't
The animation style alone is all I need to get this
That and the music
Fun Fact: One of the ppl who worked on this also worked on Eddsworld and, suprisingly, Amphibia!
this brings back so much nostalgia. 2017-2018 definitely best years of my life
0:23 Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic 3 N Knuckles, and Sonic Mania at the end. Nice little touch they did on that elevator.
Nintendo and Sega? Still a better love story than Twilight.
that is no lie... *smile*
That'll never get old to me.
u got that right, lol :-)
P
They were once the most bitter of enemies. Now they became the closest of friends. A surprisingly fitting love story when you really think about it.
This is the kind of music that makes me feel like i can accomplish anything
Here after completing the game and collecting all the emeralds.
What a majestic and beautiful platform, it has already entered the list of my favourite platforms ever
1:10
Guess they just put all the Special Stage designs ever and rolled them into one, huh?
Looks like classic sonic is happy to be back in action in his new game. And he brought classic tails and knuckles to join the party.

0:43 Mortal Sonic
True Sonic.
a perfect rebound since the 2014 lyric disaster
Ahh Sonic as he was in a simpler time were speeding through stages, smashing badniks, and stopping Robotnick was all we needed to define Sonic. As opposed to Modern Sonic going from being a Werewolf in one game, to wielding sword in Medevil Times, to racing on hoverboards in the next.

You can really feel the love emanating from this. Music, animation, design. Everything is flawlessly presented. I'm not even big into the Sonic games but this was so good I got chills. In a better timeline these guys would have the rights to the movie
The music made by Hyper potion channel
Guys sonic mania best game ever
Ironic
Sonic mania is so cool he’s my favorite
Fun fact: the animator made the sonic movie redesign.
Yes sonic back to it's roots
I might just get a Nintendo switch for this game
Capton CoCoPuffs if you get a Switch, you may as well get lots of other good games on it too
Sonic has been going back to its roots since 2010... or at least tried to.
Sonic Mania is one of the successful attempts at it.
Now they only have to not screw this up.

DUDE, COME ON, SHHHH, SPOILERS
Dat Plot twist XD
SuperLuigiMario You know about the pose of Sonic at the ending XD
Just like the paper mario commercial..
Paper mario: He has new enemies!
**Shows Bowser**
Sonic Mania: Fierce new enemies
**Shows eggman**
**shows eggman and a egg robot from sonic 3*
This, truly, is what should always be in the back of a game developer's mind whenever they think of remaking an old series. Just the amount of care and polish the fans can give to their favorite games.
i love the little easter egg in the elevator. it has 1 (original sonic), 2 (sonic 2), 3 (sonic 3), K (sonic and knuckles) and M (sonic mania)
i wasn't shortening them. i wrote down what was on the elevator and then put down what they signified.
sorry for the confusion :p
I was wondering what they meant. Thanks for that.
The elevator is also pointing to the M
You guys should make a new show off the game with all the zones mostly of how clean and beautiful the animation is and the son sound so good and original
Precious Mustapha Sonic is pretty corny, Just because the animation is eyecandy doesn't mean its going to be a good show. In my opinion.
Just because the old ones were rushed dose'nt mean it can't improve plus the show would be a simple concept,also some channels could sponsor it .But in conclusion it's all nintendo's decision it's already a big franchise,this show would only effect it by 2% c'mon
Plus it's just an ''opinion''
Animation of this quality takes a long time. Pumping it out for a show would be VERY difficult
Ehh not realy what you could call difficult because of the new animation technology that we have now,if you think making this into a show anime's have much of a longer and harder proccess,it's just the way you draw the characters that will determine the quality and difficulty.
Happy 5 Year Anniversary, Sonic Mania!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I've never heard music so good for sonic since Endless Possibility, I could watch this forever....

Muito bom
I never thought that *Nintendo* will ever promote a *sonic game* , but here we are now times have changed for better or worse.
The M Thing is this game's actually good not like Sonic Boom
Where have you been since 2002?
The M Uh...have you been under a rock since 2001?
The M I'd say for better. It's natural for companies to compete with each other, but that does mean that their fans while dislike each other, too. I've seen plenty of angry fanboys/girls arguing for no reason. Videogames are made for entertainment. It's better if we just get along.
Nintendo released a successful console and Sega is releasing a good Sonic game. Times have changed for the better.
1:18 is when teachers try to give you home work
I've had Sonic Mania Plus since 2018 or 2019... yet this is the first time I watched the trailer. Oh boy, I can only imagine the insane amount of hype this game got! Can someone who experienced to months leading up to release ofter this trailer try to describe the sensation?
Nothing but pure joy.
i grew up loving sonic and nothing had really done it for me like the earlier games had. there was a charm that it was missing in recent games. seeing sonic mania made me feel like i was a kid again and playing through the original 2D games. it honestly filled me with such joy and made me start loving sonic again. it's one of the games most dear to me
For all the peeps that watched Sonic Underground, I just had an existential crisis (If it turns out that I'm just late to the party, please keep scrolling):
Sonic, Manic, and Sonia
First syllable of "Sonia" + last syllable of "Manic" = Sonic
First syllable of "Manic" + last two syllables of "Sonia" = Mania
Sonic + Manic + Sonia = Sonic Mania
DID ANYONE ELSE REALIZE THIS??? WAS THIS PLANNED????
Holy crap ur right
Ok, the Sonia = Sonic ia, and Manic - Ma(rio)nic.
WAIT. MANIC SANIC
I noticed that since 2000 lol

Wanna know my favorite part of this trailer...its this 1:27. i dunno, its just something about this part that just reminds me so much of the original personalities of sonic and his other 2 buds, the smug look on sonics face is classy and makes it clear that he's very confident in himself, I also like how knuckles isn't portrayed as a complete and sensless dummy and meets sonics grin with a confident smile of his own, and as for tails, well he looks really happy just being there, helping to save the world with his best freinds and seems as cheerful as always. This animation certainly does convey alot of emotions, but above all of them I think we can all agree that nostalgia is the strongest of them all : )
