It's insane how 6 years ago, Amy was pretty much absent from Mania aside from an Easter Egg in the Metallic Madness boss, but now she's not only a playable character in Origins Plus, but she's officially part of the main 4 in Superstar. I'm proud of our Rosy Rascal.
It's her turn now
The original team sonic is back
Her Classic incarnation was always out of focus compared to Sonic, Knuckles and Tails. Her only appearance in the main games was in Sonic CD and there she did nothing but get kidnapped by Metal Sonic. She was only playable in the spinoff titles like Sonic The Fighters. But that seems to be changing now.
She's also supposedly gonna be playable in Frontiers Wave 3 Story campaign!
I feel like they should take knuckles out of the main cast and replace him with Amy. Then it would just be sonic, tails, and Amy. The ACTUAL team.
can we acknowledge how good this 3D classic model looks? Normally he seemed stiff and he had this weird looking waddle in the past
can we acknowledge his impressive jaw line
It was Santiago, this is sonic
@@yobrosonan1082 You can tell this is the REAL Sonic because he actually shows emotion and doesn’t control as bad as Santiago.
That was mainly in forces, in generations, classic had some times where he was incredibly expressive
@@yobrosonan1082 What do you mean? Sonic went on vacation after being missing for years , his little cousin Sean is filling in and is doing a Great job.
Did you know that Classic Sonic's cyanish/blue shade was what Oshima Originally wanted but they had to make him darker so he didn't blend with the water in Green Hill Zone 😂 Maybe the Cyan Emerald turning you into Water is an inside joke! 💎
and also some artwork of sonic the hedgehog (1991) actually does shows him in a lighter shade of blue :p
it's printing reasons. cmyk is horrible for blue
@@beesree39 I see!
Ohh, wait, that's really cool! ^^ Thanks for the info!
"This didn't age well"
Bro he liked Sonic forces even knowing its flaws
I think hes gonna like this game abit aswell
Sonic frontiers final horizons: *makes a serious comment about this shit bosses*
...uh oh
@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32 no one enjoys those bosses.. except the first one but uhhh
Glad to see bickuribox experimenting EVEN MORE with his humour, it's got real life segments now!
hes been doing that for a while, can be seen in his old rotmg videos
Cringe worthy too

All I care about is that Sonic Team brought Fang The Sniper back in an official new Sonic game. Not as a throwaway cameo that isn't REALLY him, not in extended material outside the games, but in a brand new mainline game. Fang's back, he's a villain again, he's getting caught in his own traps like he used to. I've waited too damn long for this.
Fang was always the most underutilised character in the cast, even more so than Mighty and Ray. He was unique, memorable, and a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the rogues gallery. He used to be a regular among the cast for a brief moment in time, and he could've been to Sonic what Wario was and still is to Mario. Just imagine this, we could've got Fang Land games that overshadowed mainline 2D Sonic games!
So yeah, I'm really happy about this. The entire rest of the game is the icing on the Fang cake.
You're so right, and it's cool to see someone else share the same opinion on Fang. How Sega let a design like his go to waste is a complete mystery to me... I'm hoping the best thing that can come out of this classic Sonic renaissance is another invested era of multiple genres and included characters. We need a new Sonic R, if not Riders. We need a new fighting game, whether 3D or 2D. We need Sonic to be adventurous again.
fang land? cmon. i like him but he's not that good
You've missed the point completely. The point I'm trying to make is that Fang was so underutilised despite his untapped potential, that he faded into obscurity just as hard as any other one-off character, like Ray, Bean, Bark or even Johnny. He HAD staying power, yet Sonic Team never capitalised on it. The only reason you're saying he's "not that good" is because Sega and Sonic Team never LET HIM be "that good".
When Shadow starred in his own game, they gave him guns and vehicles, forgetting the fact that they already had a character who fit the same purpose (not to mention, Fang's airbike and gun are stylised to better suit Sonic games). Where Sonic Team created a surface-level "mature" game full of edgy cringe and disjointed gameplay mechanics and ideas pulled in all different directions, Fang could've been the perfect character for a more over-the-top and fun action game that encouraged players to revel in the carnage they cause.
I mentioned Johnny before, but he's a redundant character with no staying power, and yet another example of Sonic Team creating more characters that fit the same purpose as the ones that came before. Old game manuals mention Fang hailing from another dimension, so why not make that the Sol Dimension? And have him duke it out with Sonic like old times? That IS how he was introduced after all; a boss standing in the way of Sonic and the emeralds.
No matter how you look at it, Fang could've been so much more. It really isn't hard to imagine him being Sega's Wario, in a timeline where Sega's management was much better. Wario's a greedy villain introduced in a mainline handheld Mario game, who'd later star in his own series of games and become a mainstay among Nintendo's many franchises. Is Fang not also a greedy villain who was introduced in a mainline handheld Sonic game? In a parallel world, he would absolutely star in his own Fang Land games. Hopefully now that I've provided all this context, you understand what I mean.
He’s back with a new name
This could be the first 2.5D Sonic game to match 2D Sonic’s physics!
It was never needed but it would be neat
@thatitalianlameguy2235
"It was never needed"
This is a CLASSIC Sonic game, that gameplay style is what started the *entire* Sonic franchise in the first place.
Modern Sonic may not need that gameplay style a whole lot, but Classic Sonic DEFINITELY needs it everytime.
I'm just making a point here.
Does Colors count because it is mostly 2D soooooo…
@@FireLightLion No, it's not FULLY 2D.
@@thatitalianlameguy2235 Nah, it was. Mania was the last 2D Sonic game and Mania itself was the first 2D Sonic game in like 10 years to play well. Sonic 4 played exactly like generations classic Sonic (slow as hell). Besides that, they've been stuck developing 3D Sonic games that are increasingly just worse 2D Sonic games as Sega cuts more and more of the "3d gameplay" from their 3D Sonic games. Unleashed was the last game with 3D gameplay imo, Generations onward is 99% 2D for the boost games.
I actually think Sonic Lost World played significantly better than Generations onward, but its Achilles heel is overlong frustrating level design that doesn't take advantage of Sonic's speed. (Which in part foreshadowed Sega's future plans- every game after Lost World seems to maintain the lie that Sonic the Hedgehog is a character who can run really really fast, which gets harder and harder to believe the more we see him running at a snail's pace even with boost in every game).
Now that i think about it, it really is just like Megaman 11 in more than just it's artstyle. Both games are new entries in a series that hasn't had a new game in a long time (Mania was 6 years ago and MM10 was 13 years ago), and modernised their series with new powerups (Double Gear in 11, Chaos Emerald powers in Superstars) to mess around with. Now we'll have to see if it's successful and if Sega profits off of that success with more stuff (unlike Capcom who immediately forgot Megaman existed right after and yes i'm still mad about it)
The amount of money I would pay for a MegaMan x/zero anime is incredibly large
@@angelkurbai5112 I WOULD BE RIGHT THERE I WANT THAT SO BADLY
@@angelkurbai5112 I don't see how that relates to what i was saying but true, though i wish they actually finished that ZX anime they showed off in a trailer instead
Megaman 11 is in the top 3 best games in Megaman history
I'd say 11 still looked a tad toyetic, and not in an intentional way like Link's Awakening HD. I think what makes this look so pretty in comparison to say NSMB or even Megaman 11 is that 3D models seems to restrict expressiveness and implied texture that the characters would normally have being drawn sprites with heavily direction and intention in every frame, and this game seems to want to animate this Sonic with a lot of reciprocated motion, weight, and warmth. You get the sense that a lot of companies in the 2010s did 3D because the model itself was easy to work with, but implementing squash and stretch, more detailed expressions, or messing with frame pacing kind of goes against the whole point of using said 3D model in the first place, though something completely hand drawn like Cuphead would still be massively more time consuming so it still feels kind of cheap that a lot of those 2.5D platformers were so light on those details. But then again, even the most pretty and well animated 2D platformers stuggle to justify to the greater market the increased price tag that comes with it, at least compared to a cinematic AAA action game, even though I personally see the merit.
Gonna be an interesting review
The Donkey Kong Country Returns of sonic.
Never fucking mind. :/
5:52 In general I noticed that there's a slightly higher difficulty to the level design we've seen, with obstacles that require tighter timing. Not punishing to the point of flooding the place with bottomless pits or cheap enemy placement, but it's reassuring to know that levels are designed with more than first time Sonic players in mind.
The 5 second beat of silence after the "where's Steam?" had me rolling
Great analysis overall, catch ya in the next one!
Can't wait to see his review on the music 😂😭💀
I really really REALLY hope this game does well, so that we can finally have a good template for more future 2D Sonic entires that would be more easily accepted by the broader audience. Yes, Mania could've served as a great template, but not everyone especially not those outside of the gamer communities would see the appeal of 2D spritework over flashy 3D graphics.
I feel like the reason why there's no news at all for a potential follow-up to Mania for such a long time is because there's a lot of things to figure out trying to translate 2D Sonic into 2.5D again, but Superstars seems to have pulled it off pretty well, so if this game does well, we could probably expect more 2D Sonic games in the same engine relatively soon. At least I really hope so.
Headcanon are apparently not working with SEGA anymore so a Mania followup seems incredibly unlikely
Genuinely one of my favorite RUclipsrs. He has a nice soothing voice and he actually knows what he’s talking about!
You pointed out the 'pick your platform' part and I was like 'Yeah wait, I remember watching the trailer and the very Steam logo is at the end when they display the release window'. Im a bit worried as well..theres no Steam Page yet as I was going to go wishlist it.
Good news, there is a page now! There has been for a while so I don't know if you know or not, but I figured it'd help to bring it up just in case.
That ain't a whale, that's a *mosasaur*! I screamed when I saw it while me and my friends were watching in the crowd at Summer Game Fest. I hope to see more prehistoric dinosaur-like badniks in the rest of the game - the new character Trip looks like it could also be a dinosaur.

HAH
HAH
I LOVE this channel so much man thanks for your great efforts for makin quality content
Playing S&3K is an experience I can't ever forget.And to think my first playthrough of it was last year.If this game can top that *and* mania,then I will fully trust Sonic Team with all my heart and Soul
Edit:Even if it aint made by Sonic Team
Sonic 3&K is a masterpiece. It's definitely one of the best if not the best 2D platformer.
It's not made by sonic team
Holy shit man, im amazed how good your channel is doing with these sonic videos. Watched your realm videos for years and im glad you were able to pivot so succesfully and better use your creating skills :)
I always was surprised with how quality his realm content videos were, and personally I loved them, but I'm really glad he's getting the recognition he deserves with content he is also excited to make. :) It's awesome.
1:12 Oh good, I'm not the only one who likes the Sonic 1 special stages.
$60 is so steep for any game but I can see that not landing with general audiences for sonic
it'll go on sale plenty, all sonic games do
@@scrunkore I know but that's just a bit steep imo
Not really all too steep when that was the price of games 20 years ago. The industry forgot that inflation was a thing so all games are pretty cheap compared to where they would be if they kept up with inflation.
@flango348 ik a lot of non sonic fans that are calling the price for that steep because of nature of the game. I understand your point but it is a steep price
Glad to hear Tee Lopes and Jun Senoue are BOTH working on the soundtrack! The White Park Zone music had me a bit worried at first
Unfortunately the boss themes are still you know
IN THIS GAME
Thought of your videos the moment this was announced, been rewatching a few of them too!
I love how you specifically dressed in the same outfit as your profile picture 🤣
I was just watching your video on the dangers of getting distracted and now this. I appreciate the variety
I really hope they add the live system back. It just doesn't feel the same without it
really. why can it be an option?
i expect for them to do the same thing that was done with Crash 4, that you can choose if your playthrough will need extra lives or have no lives system at all
personally I don't think games really need lives these days but it does feel good getting them
@@scrunkore whether or not if we need them, why not hve the option
@@scrunkore No save runs are really fun, seeing how far you can get with just lives and continues if you earn them
poor dude.
I can feel the excitement in you’re title
I really dislike how little contrast there is between foreground and background. Hard to track, imo.
I did notice a couple if things about the zones from the trailer and demo footage. I gotta say, I'm pretty excited and invested.
the game is looking wicked and once again im mainly excited for it souly just cuz of the fact itll mean videos from u. im never too fond of classic sonic gameplay ot at least i wasnt till mania gave us the drop dash. and i have alot of faith in this game. seems like sega and sonic team are genuinely on a mission to make sonic worth being excited for and so far it seems like theyre succeeding just hope the next time any remasters happen they dont fail a third time
It’s like New Super Mario Bros Wii, but Sonic
I pumped for this sonic game, I’m gonna play all the characters too.
The fact that Sega does not want to rehire Christian Whitehead to do a Mania sequel is honestly Criminal
You Sonic fans are the worst human beings on the planet
Not everyone would hire someone that are honestly green.
@@mazkeraid4039 I have no idea what that means
@@Jeff-te2cc Basically as a beginner.
@@mazkeraid4039 hey he killed it with Sonic Mania though
The sonic renaissance is looking amazing and fang is back been loving how they’ve been bringing back older characters that have been forgotten to time in the most recent classic games keep doing what you’re doing sega. They also plan on doing more classic with modern games so they can appeal to all fans im so hype
This is the first time I've heard of this, but it looks awesome!
Also, farewell Green Hill. I'd say it's been a blast, but... It really hasn't. 😅🙃
I kinda interested to see if that section with the mosasourus badnik in bridge hill is truly a worthy challenge
Bick i feel like ur the most underated yt ever and dat isn't good wut i've seen is amazing
A new slice to enjoy, let’s go!
yes thank you for this delightful information
I also can’t wait for this game!! Hoping a Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog vid from you is coming in the future too!
I’m from the future when sonic superstars is playable and the controls are awesome
Another day another brickuribox banger
I love the little skit in the beginning
A couple answers to some things you said:
- the game will have a "Battle Mode" that supports online play. No online co-op is a bit weird but it does have some online multiplayer.
- Emerald powers can be used once, they are restored when you hit a checkpoint
- The score mechanic is still there, there is just no score counter in the HUD. I imagine they're going to do a score tally in co-op like Super Mario 3D World does.
- katie on Twitter confirmed that the game IS coming to Steam. The Modern Amy skin just isn't right now, for some stupid reason I'm sure
Loved that bit at the beginning got a great laugh outta that wouldn’t mind if those were sprinkled in every now and then to catch me off guard
That intro is gold!
Talwar back with the skits 🙌
6:43 to add onto this part, jun senoue actually remixed splash hill zone from sonic 4 a few years back (alongside tee lopes) and it sounds so much better, with all of the weird instrument choices replaced, which gives me a lot of hope that jun may actually do a great job with tee on the superstars soundtrack
wake up babe! new bickuribox12 video!
Man I love your videos!
Okay, this is the THIRD game for this new era of Sonic. All the cards are really on the table here.
Frontiers has been doing good ever since release, and The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog took several steps further to reestablish the world and characters we loved.
Looking back, post-SA2 games have always been leaving bad tastes in everyone's mouth for one reason or another, about as early as Heroes.
Please, I'm begging the gods hard: PLEASE don't derail this positive momentum we have like Shadow/'06 and Lost World/Boom/Forces did.
Shadow was good
they... kinda didn't??? i mean, some of the plot is kinda half-baked and some of the music is really weird too, but other than that the game is pretty solid tbh
We are all ready for this
A while back when the first Sonic movie was coming out, but before they redesigned him, my friend and I were pitching alternate script ideas to pass the time. One of my ideas saw Sonic and a few other wielding chaos emeralds individually, which granted them an element and a power to go with it. For example, Sonic's was wind, which let him create Kingdom Valley-esque wind paths in mid air. Knuckles had fire, which basically let him shoot hadokens. Eggman got one and it gave him metal kinesis, which, funnily enough, he ended up getting at the end of the second Sonic movie.
I always thought it'd make for a great game mechanic on the side. Like, every emerald you got in special stages would grant you, essentially wisp-esque powers that could be used almost akin to Mega Man weapons. They would open up stage traversal and give a good reason for repeat stage visits. Finally seeing something like this in a game is kinda surreal. Gotta say, I'm excited.
This looks to be the perfect blend of Classic Sonic and the 3D Visuals.
HOW DOES THIS GUY ONLY HAVE 108K SUBSCRIBERS HE NEEDS 1 MILLION
I actually really like that Sonic model! Normally I think the classic Sonic models look "off" like they're too fat or round but that one looks really, really good!
Also, as someone who likes Sonic games but isn't a *diehard* fan, this announcement completely went over my head so thanks for this video to bring it to the attention of people like me!
Yay the live action is back :D
6:31 Yeah uhh about it
Announced and released within the same year. When was the last time we got THAT for a Sonic game?
That Tee Lopes to Jun Senoue transition within a second made me feel the same as Sonic when he was running full speed ahead and then that big robot whale destroyed the ground under him and he fell to his death.
the clip of you running into the door at the end sent me lmfao
Saw this notification, and I was like, "who am I to miss a bickuribox12 vid??"
The Co op is what got me excited.
Got an add for Superstars as a lead in to this video, so that's nice.
Sonic Adventure 3 is getting closer, I can feel it
When I saw this for the first time, I screamed so hard I lost my voice. My friend and I were watching the summer game fest and we both lost our voices that day. I am beyond hyped for Superstars and this is a Sonic game that I genuinely think will be just as good as Mania!
Superstars would overshadow Mania because it doesn’t do the easy way out for returning stages no matter the remix ones.
It’s out in like 4 days and I’m hyped
HES BACK IN ACTION IN RECORD TIME!!!
I expect great things from this game. May not be peak fiction, but I see a very fun 2D Sonic game on our hands. Admittedly, Arzest leading development on the title has be somewhat...Er...Concerned. "Yoshi's New Island", "Hey Pikmin" and "Balan Wonderworld" don't really fill my heart with optimism, but the game appears to be solid and could be a nice redemption story for the team. We shall see.
Sonic Mania got me into being a Sonic Fan (specifically 2D Sonic) because of the replay value every level held for me was insane and super satisfying.
Long gone are the days I spent forever getting lost in chemical plant thanks to my skill issues and now are moments of me literally blasting through the level like never before.
Sonic Superstars is gonna be an instant 9/10 if they keep that philosophy up and execute it as perfectly as always.
I like to imagine that bickuribox just ran into his door at the end instead of opening it like he was supposed to, lol 😆
It looks promising but as a Sonic fan i've learnt to drop my expectations to the floor.
two videos in the same month? we are living in the nest timeline
Robotic Mosasaur in Sonic?
Now I'm intrigued.
finally my wish came true, i always as a kid wanted a sonic game where each emerald gives you a specific power up related to its color, so Red being fire, light blue being water, dark blue being ice and so on, it might not be like this but at least each emerald is giving new powers instead of collecting them all to access a super form
I hope we'll get a public demo someday.
Getting that superstars brainrot
The thing about them copying the Spectacle of moments like the Whale Chase from SA1 is intentional Iizuka mentioned as much in interviews.
2023 has been taking some massive W's in gaming recently
5:57 here after some reviews of the game have released
You were right
I like that Amy is doing her Sonic Advance pose. A tribute to her first time as a playable character.
But IMO, I would have loved to see Amy in her fleetway white shirt and green skirt design. Maybe even change her hairstyle to have it up.
Literally when the trailer first dropped I said just tell me the price
I so desperately wanted this to be online. That was my deciding factor if I got it day 2 or wait for a sale.
It looks really good, ngl. And multiplayer will be a deciding factor in a lot of purchases I'm sure. I really wish it was online though.
The thing with mania is that although it’s good, it felt less like a sonic 4 and more of a celebration of 1,2,CD, and 3 (It’s still great though!) If sonic team plays their cards right, this could be the sonic 4 we truly wanted.
0:24
FANG OFFICIAL RETURN
3:12 i should note that i think a interview they did say the emerald meter will replenish when you hit a checkpoint
Is drop dash gonna be in superstars? I haven’t seen any footage of the drop dash being used
Yeah, it's in there
As far as the Emerald Powers go, you actually replenish them by hitting a checkpoint
However this turns out in the end I am very happy that they seem to actually be doing something new with this game as opposed to just falling back on a lot of old ideas like they have for the last near decade. The emerald powerups for instance are such a genius idea i'm surprised no one else had done anything like that before (Sonic Islands notwithstanding), I also like how they seem to be going for some more non-traditional gimmick elements like the cast turning into jellyfish for that one part of the stage.
That's true, I'm pretty glad it's not another Mania type game where they rehash a lot of old elements.
BANGER
Can wait for this game
I’m hype to play a 2d sonic game with the boys!
as the title of the video says, i am also looking forward to sonic superstars
It looks fine, but after Mania it is weird to go back to a 2.5D style. In other words: Y no Mania 2
I just hope the game is at least decent. Maybe even good.
