Should I make this experiment a full series? This was a challenge for me because I like including every detail. 😅(I know I missed spinoffs, movies, tv shows and comics)
You should
Yea
Yes! Please!
The Mario Universe Explained in Less Than 10 Minutes
Yes, it was nice :)
Sonic games: Blue Hedgehog that runs fast.
Sonic Lore: Ancient Aliens and Gods
Then sonic frontiers: most powerful hedgehog
Sonic abel to beat some said gods. And becomes more than just a hedgehog that run fast…
He is now!
A blue hedgehog that runs faster than light and is at multiverse level type feats.
I cannot believe you managed to cover every major plot point in just 10 minutes
It's 9 minutes
Except whatever Emerl was, but ok who cares about Sonic Battle
Bro had to summarize in sonic speed
This batshit insane lore is unironically part of why I love this franchise so much
It’s not that insane for a game about a blue hedgehog that runs at sonic speeds. The fact that there’s lore at all is what’s surprising. Mario could never be this interesting
@@Prince_Dracula Clearly you’ve never played Super Mario galaxy paper Mario 64 paper Mario the thousand year Door Super paper Mario Bowser’s inside story.
The lore going chronologically from ancient alien races and god to funny hedgehog going fast is so hilariously jarring.
I'm shookened to my core that you managed to make this. I didn't even believe that making one cohesive sonic timeline could be possible. My compliments to you man, really well done
This took a few re-writes but I admit, it was fun condensing all this lore down! Would love to make more videos like these in-between my bigger projects.
@TheMentok now do this again but with all the spin-offs, including different versions of games like sonic 1&2 8-bit
@@chaosspider5765 no bcuz they will recomplicate the timeline
The 8bit games arent even canon or made by sonic team
Riders trilogy is canon excluding free riders cuz its garbage
I think sonic chaos could be canon
You made everything sound so simple.
That was needed actually. I never actually thought that Infinite is DEAD dead. Thank you.
Emerl, the 4th greatest civilization, and Mother Wisp: "Am I a joke to you?"
But seriously, this is actually very thorough, yet so simple! Awesome work!
its funny too because Emerl's back story is completely skipped over even though it lead's to some important moments in the sonic lore, why the knuckles clan wanted the emeralds so badly that they'd defile a sacred land and why gun started to fear gearlds work so much they'd raid the arc leading up to the shadow story
While I disagree on the bit about the Knuckles clan (what with Chronicles not considered canon and there being a 1,000 year difference between Emerl's creators and the Knuckles clan), I wholeheartedly agree on how he ties into the ARK's lore. He also directly ties into Sonic Advance 3 and by extension IDW, with Gemerl being made using Emerl as a template.
shit has gone wild since sonic and knuckles
It's funny and awesome how a game about a fast Blue Hedgehog fighting a más scientist basically turned into Dragon Ball with anthropomorphic characters.
For. Real
Dark Gaia looks like Emerald Weapon from Final Fantasy VII. Excellent work as always, Mentok. Looking forward to your insight on other material as I constantly learn dope shit each video.
Thank you sir for your dedicated viewership 🖖😆
@@TheMentok 😂 just waiting on FF content, specifically FFIX
The fact that you made every game in the series sound good while also covering EVERY SINGLE PLOT POINT. Is insane
Weeeeelllll, there's technically the side stuff that ties in, like Sonic Rush [Blaze], and Sonic advance [Cream].
But yeah for the mainline games, spot on.
Would like to see side game lore next. As it's just as crazy.
One bit of correction, Sonic doesn't live on South Island, he was born on Christmas Island, then when he was young, he decided to use his Biplane, the tornado, to travel the world. During one of the travels, before the events of Sonic 1, he encounters Eggman, and decides to pout a stop to his plans for world domination.
Good point and I considered leaving that in but the Christmas Island thing being canon these days is questionable. But I agree I could have used better word choice than "lives".
@@TheMentok can you make a video of the Christmas island, first time hearing this
Great video! You really managed to explain well everything and somehow organize the lore as confusing as it is lol
Very impressive work explaining all the main events in such a short time!
I actually think the final horizon is the cannon one it just makes a lot more sense
with the release of Sonic Superstars I believe they’ve not only backed out of the two dimensions (classic and modern) a while ago, but now recently backed out of Generations creating a split timeline that leads to Mania and Forces which I believed for a while. Now Sega is saying that Mania happens after Sonic 3&K, and Superstars is sometime in between Mania and Adventure
Masterful work. I hope SONIC TEAM or whoever is managing the story side of things sees this specific video. It clears up so much in a non-confusing way (as much as you can make this jumbled lore not confusing lol)
This is amazing man!! It’s insane how you fit the most important parts of the lore all right here in 10 minutes
Excellent Work.
I'm always paying attention to lore, and you covered all the bases flawlessly.
i like how you just go straight to the point and dont overcomplicate the lore, great vid dude
Left out the lore concerning Blaze and her world, the Babylonians, the story book series and the Rival series.
Yeah, I know I missed a few games. Decided to stick to the major plot points to keep things simple. I would have otherwise named it "The Entire Sonic Universe Explained in Under 10 Minutes" 😂 It was hard giving Blaze the cut since she's in my top 5 character list. I'm down to do this format again with the spinoff games/other plotlines I missed
@@TheMentok Fair enough, if it’s just the major ones than it’s understandable since some of the ones I mentioned were kind of spin-offs. If you do decide to redo with all of them, hopefully Mephiles’ involvement at least gets a mention.
Having just learned there is a wholesome ending to the last game with Dr. Eggman learning the value of caring for someone and Sonic is able to focus on finding future personal growth.
Dr. Eggman does deserve a War Crimes trial at the bare minimum tho, his crimes were global and near genocidal multiple times, but still, warms my heart to see that sick SOB liking the idea of being a Dad, not a Dictator.
You have earned a subscriber! Amazing work man and I hope to see more videos like this in the future! :)
This is awesome, thanks for making it!
Fast paced, informative, and entertaining! Great video~☆
Well done. Would love to see more vids like this
This is the best Sonic lore video I've seen. Great job!
Best video ever for sonic lore this is insanely good!
Good thing people don’t play Sonic for the story lmao 🤣 this is so convoluted but at the same time it’s nice that they’re also experimenting and trying new things and just having fun with it :)
Incredible how you did this! I just want to see another video like this but with IDW comics lore!
Thank you! This helped a lot!
This was actually accurate af and incredibly well made! I'd watch more of these with other mediums!
This is GOLD content! Magnificent. Even makes me want to play games that I’ve skipped due to not being appealing to me (Sonic’06 and Forces). Just wish you’d squeezed in the story books ones (Wildfire and Black Knight) they are great games for me.
MAN THIS VIDEO WAS SO GOOD!!! I imagine a video like this with all the other Spin-Offs games (GameGear saga, DS saga, GBA saga, and others), the IDW comics and Sonic Prime, would be wild.
The storybook games are underrated
This made me love n understand everything about Sonic even more 💙
This was a pretty good explanation on universe of Sonic the hedgehog
Well I don't know why people say That's Sonic 4 is where they got their modern look when adventure exists
Now Sonic 4 is not cannon since people don't like that game and it's not even finished because episode 3 never happened and was abandoned 12 years ago but I do respect the theory as to what others they're trying to do
So basically, egg-man never gives up
Wow, thanks for doing this
this is the BEST mainline sonic game timeline video
I need a *"really long video all about Sonic the Hedgehog"* at some point, but this is still good 👍. You did great explaining here
Cant wait for more content!!!
love this vid ima sub
Much appreciated!
I'm very new to the franchise and I have to say that this lore recap was very useful! Thanks. At least I know the jist of it
👍😊Always doing the Lord True Justice when the explanations is quick precise very accurate
Now THIS is a good video
Great video
and breathe… great vid mate
You definitely need to do this again 😍
I find it hilarious how you pointed out that Chip gives Sonic the bracelet, and then you never see it again.
I think Sonic keeps it somewhere safe in a locker in one of Tails' houses .
👍🤩I don't know about anyone else out there however I absolutely love these very quick Lore minutes explain vids
Sonic team: uuh... yeah, that's *exactly* what is the lore of Sonic is.
after watching this, I realized how the movies and the shows aline with the Lore and I think I can predict the new sonic movie
This is literally exactly what I’ve been looking for for like months holy shit
This was very insightful since i always treat most sonic games like their own story. Thank you
Making this video I realized this timeline is not all that crazy when you don't sweat the details too much.
5:04
a pissed of person from the future that is definitely not named trucks
"I miss my daughter Sonic, I miss her a lot. I'll be back"
It makes sense. It finally makes makes sense. It makes sense to me.
You should definitely do this again.
Wow. Just. Wow. I am extremely impressed
Very impressive you pulled this off. This makes the Zelda timeline seem simple by comparison.
In the Classic timeline, Sonic actually failed to collect the time stones because eggman had the last one, therefore mania shows little planet still conquered by eggman.
This was good. Curious if you could do the Sonic universe in the Archie comics in that same amount of time
The Sonic lore can be summed up as “Because Eggman”
I just realised that chaos looks like the ancients
This actually makes sense
If the subtext about Sonic being the ancients' god is true, then it's kinda funny that humanity twice over recreated him before he was born.
just a tiny correction!
• sonic doesn't live on south island, he's actually from a unknown island called "christmas island". and since he got out of there, he's being living as a nomad, always traveling freely
He was *born* on Christmas Island. He lives on South Island.
@@evdestroy5304 nope! he doesn't have a home, he doesn't live anywhere
@aklekq Just because he doesn't have a home doesn't mean he doesn't live on South Island. It's a whole ass island, and there's more than just one spot.
Dang that’s crazy how you manage to make the entire timeline
alot of people dont know witch ending to frontiers is canon but in a twitter takeover sonic said a quote amoug the lines of " oh I change my answer my favorite to fight was the end teaming up with my freids, eggman and sage to take a narsasitict planet down was legendary" in the og ending sonic did not team up with his buddies only sage and eggman so I guess final horizon is the canon one kinda off topic but I wanted to say anyway
At 3:35 you mention that Sonic turns super to defeat Robotnik again, except that would be Hyper Sonic... I know it's minor, but I do feel the need to point it out considering the significance of the transformation on the series as a whole. Game Apologist has great videos on the subject if anyone is interested!
this lowkey explains a lot
I once sat down friend who is a fan of kingdom hearts and told him the entirety of the sonic franchise lore including the chaos Emeralds lore and the split timeline theory before the retcon. And he Told me how can I think kingdom hearts is confusing knowing all this?
I told him its like breathing I don't think about.
7:32
people loved this game
yes, 'loved'
Sonic 2 takes place before CD. Literally confirmed by Naoto Ohshima himself no matter what Origins and Ian Flynn claim.
Also you mention 06 (even tho it’s really not suppose to be canon anymore but for some reason is treated as such) but not the Rush games (where Blaze is introduced into canon) or the Rivals games (which properly reintroduces Silver into the canon).
Other than that, good video mate
oh crazy lore
heh, there are a lot of powerful gemstones in the sonic franchise
The Goku yell 💀💀💀💀 3:10
Excellent video but I cant say the same for the Sonic lore Sonic has potential to be the best platformer even better than Mario but Sonic haft to combine elements from many games in the sonic series in order to create the perfect formula
Cool video man, but can u please tell me where u found that sick super Sonic picture in the thumbnail? Whats it calledddd
Yeah! It's from the Japanese official Sonic website. they post cool art all the time. I have a link to that Twitter post in the description if you want to check them out.
@@TheMentok Thanks bro. And again awesome video. Loved the entire explanation! Just subbed
Hey love the story, but can you share the order of game, so i can play chronologically or where can i find it?
0:22 “ it explodes” why did bro say it like you was used to it?
6:48 *The Magic Conch
I know you briefly meontioned Mania but I think it deserves something. And the Mania lore is straight on point:
Sonic and Tails see that Eggman is doing something on the Angel Island after that they go there to stop him the Eggrobos with The Phantom Ruby take them into the past while the Eggrobos got personalities. Sonic and Tails beat Eggman and Eggrobos a bunch of times and in the end Eggrobos betray Eggman but the Ruby teleported Sonic to Sonic Forces. After Forces Classic goes back to Mania but Encore mode. Which is just a restart with Ray and Mighty. In the end everyone is just chilling and eating Ice cream. Oh, and Superstars. Eggman pays Fang the Hunter to get all the BIG animals while they encounter Trip. And Trip goes with them. Sonic, Tails and Amy see that Eggman is doing something and fly to the NorthStar Islands to stop him. Meanwhile Knuckles notices something is with the Master Emerald and it tells Knuckles to go to the Northstar Islands.Trip meets Amy they become *besties* then Fang wants to go in his mech but SUDDENLY Trip goes Super and BUSTS the thing. Then they go into space to destroy eggman's space base. They destroy it.
The Trip's story:
She lives on her island. Then there's Eggrobos and we go through the Campaign again. But at the end there's an egg that you can enter as Super Sonic and beat the Final Dragon. AND THIS IS WHERE WE GET TO THE GAME THEORY:
This Dragon may be a Trip's relative. Oh and it was in the promotioal video for Superstars: The Trio of Trouble. BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY A GAME THEORY
Super sonic 2
They're not hiding it at this point
Loved it. Been a Sonic fan my entire life, but kinda lost the plot after the 2D games...
Yes do it again, but with Mario.
Quick correction: mania is in fact canon to the main timeline!
W vid
Can you make a history of Silver The Hedgehog that includes his concept art.
I hope Dark Gaia doesn’t destroy Earth in 10,000 years!
uh oh bro forgot Sonic Mania
(I'm just kidding, this summary was actually perfect and short and simple, if i wanted to know sonic lore from no knowledge at all this would clear up everything)
"OH NO"
shadow’s existence came before classic sonic defeated egan for the first time?
I know I'm nit-picking that's actually not Earth they always tend to change the planet that they're on in each game or media and they never give make story canonically connected which is frustrating to follow but if you read the comics they would literally tell you that Sonic on Earth cus he gets transported their 😅
oh my, i wonder if someone wrote a fanfic to fill all the plotholes
2:31 Does he really live in South Island though? He doesn't have any place on earth where he lives permanently even in Christmas Island where he is said to be born.
