I understand why people did not like this game however i think it did a lot of great things and the OST is straight fire. I enjoyed this game for what it was.
That's generally a thing of the sonic games. While the gameplay itself can be a hit or miss (with 06 and Boom definitely being misses), the music is always great. Maybe not every single track, but there is always a nugget or two to find in each game.
well when the game adds a human princess kissing a dead blue hedgehog top it off with horrible game breaking bugs, and a lackluster sonic storyline sonic's story is the least entertaining the OST is 10/10 though
4:50 and 5:12 I find it interesting how even when everyone else is gathering around dead Sonic, Shadow initially hangs back and keeps his distance. He doesn't utter a word or even show shock in his face; he only closes his eyes and remains stoic and silent as if in resignation, as if seeing death was something all too familiar to him. 6:46 Then when Amy starts crying, he turns away while everyone else just hangs their heads, as if witnessing this open display of grief was too uncomfortable for him. These little details are subtle but effective, and I love how they capture Shadow's personality and show he's the kind of person who would likely be awkward at funerals, neither able to join in on openly sharing grief with others nor able to offer comfort to those grieving around him. Not necessarily because he's heartless, but because it's just his personality.
Yeah, Shadow is in no way heartless. His worst fears have come up to surface and is forced to look at death in the face once again. He wasn't able to save the people he was closest to, or anyone. It is the reason why he remains distant. He also gives limited eye contact to people (unless it was in his interest or was focused on eliminating the threat) because he didn't want to see or think about what could be the fate of his friends like when he saw Maria die in front of him - his pure, raw emotions are channeled through his actions and he was aware of how dangerous he can be around to those in his circle. Shadow's shadow was the cause of Sonic's death and he couldn't do anything to save him - the open display of mourning only hurts him more because he wasn't able to "make people happy". Shadow is very compassionate - he just could not express it so openly in fear of intimacy and risk reliving the hurt.
@@aortaplatinum Uh...because I can? I'm talking about Shadow the character here in a broad perspective. Sonic 06 was universally panned, yes. Everybody knows this. They could have done better with the expressions, yes. Discussing how much the game sucked and how it was presented would be me beating a dead horse. I am simply analyzing Shadow's character, what has been given here, and how far he's come as a character from ALL GAMES. One of Sonic 06's few highlights was Shadow's characterization/development. Shadow never took pleasure in seeing someone die, regardless of their alignment, because he already witnessed that once with his only friend, Maria, so naturally, he'd look away. It's not hard to make this conclusion when you focus on just Shadow in a GENERAL sense - a simple gesture like having his arms crossed and looking away (showing signs of discomfort) while the hearts-over-sleeve Amy goes about sobbing uncontrollably over Sonic, tells us a lot of things about Shadow and what was already established, even in a rushed game like this. Not to mention he is one of the most complex characters in all of Sonic's universe.
@@allibean9086 Plus he already lost Maria and losing Sonic was even worse because that's one of his new friends and he probably doesn't interact with his new friends a lot because he's afraid if he does GUN will kill them too.
He wasn’t dead… he was nearly dead, chaos emeralds can’t revive the dead but heal the wounded why you think they rushed for the emeralds? Cuz they was running out of time, if they found em too late he’d be dead fs
You clown Chad infinite could've killed sonic anytime he wanted, unlike virgin mephiles who had to caught him off guard while powered by the emeralds 😂
Oh if only this game was remade to be a modern masterpiece. I can imagine it now, 3 hedgehogs with modern mechanics? The same Solaris theme for phase two? And multiple super attack, hell even some execution attacks even kinda like the high damage devil bringer attacks from DMC but with no prompts? One day SEGA, you’ll do us good
if they made a remake of this game, fixing everything that was wrong, all the bugs and the like, I'm sure it would be very successful, it has one of the best villains in the franchise..
Yep, and i would prefer that the realationship between Sonic and Elise to friends, nothing romantic, because i like Elise, really, i dont think she deserve hate from this game
They did, Well not SEGA, a fan and his team made a remake called Project 06. It fixed almost all the bugs aswell as remastering all graphic and gameplay details
Say what you will about Sonic 06, but I loved this game. It was my introduction to the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, I enjoyed the storylines(for the most part, Elise was always weird), I enjoyed the music, but while the Princess was weird, the ending that they have at the very end is heartbreaking, and the song only adds to it.
If they had cut out the weird romance and just made the two very good friends, it would have completely changed how most people perceived the story. And yeah, that ending of them saying goodbye is still really sad. 😢
Yea that’s probably how he got this super saiyan god idea when 3 hedgehogs form together to turn super they turn into needing 5 saiyans instilled into another to create a super saiyan god
Actually it was Microsoft's fault, they had an agreement about this game and Sega didn't have much time to develop this game and I'm not pretty sure but I remember that in that time they were working in other sonic game so you can imagine how hard It was
I'm pretty sure that if they did a story revision, things would have been so much more polished. Such as: *Sonic an Elise would have choose not to extinguish the flame and instead found a way to destroy Solaris withour further disrupting the timestream (Which was already turbulent from all the time traveling done) *Sonic and Blaze would've recognized each other after Rush. Silver would have told Sonic about her sacrifice to stop Iblis much to the blue blur's sadness. Maybe she reunites with them in the epilogue and we get an explaination on how she met Silver. *Silver would depart back to his future in the ending (not without giving Sonic and Shadow a hanshake), the status of his future left ambiguous.
23:45 I appreciate how, despite hating his guts, Eggman damn well respects Sonic's abilities and has confidence in him. That nod tells you everything you need to know.
I like the no-nonsense Dr Robotnic of this game. In my opinion that made this Eggman the most terrifying of them all. Sure he has that over the top cartoony look, and it borders on uncanny valley, but his "business professional" personality pulls it off and makes him scary.
It's a really underrated scene. It's the first time we've ever seen Sonic's company mourn him at devastation. The first 3 cry out for him, Silver holds deep regret, Rouge and Omega show silent grief as well while Shadow stands behind to not let any deep emotions show out. Of course, Eggman doesn't focus much on him either but still acknowledges the cost of the events. The only other Sonic game to have a moment like this after 06 was Frontiers, which took another great 15 years.
Sonic sure is lucky to have his friends save him with the power of the chaos emeralds and this final boss battle of the 2006 sonic game is just fantastic!
@@martinrivet I think what would've been interesting is a post credits scene showing Mephiles had actually survived and planning his next plans because seriously just because villains are defeated doesn't mean they're going to stay gone for good. Unless they're dead almost like all the Disney villains.
@@unevengamers1426 Cool and I do believe it's possible Shadow and Sonic act the way they do now is because Shadow blames himself for what happened and he is distancing himself from his friends because he failed to stop Mephiles in time and Sonic is still hurt over the loss of Chip if these two things are the cause of it it would make total sense.
@@Michael_Afton40 man...the 2006 final boss fight was against a god and 3 super hedgehogs...like do you see even shadow or silver in the super form in the next games?
I'm pretty sure it's stated in an interview or something along those lines that Shadow and Sonic are the only ones to remember Solaris due to their expirence with the Super Forms. Not too sure how accurate that is though.
I'm not sure how Shadow's personality changed from then to now; he wasn't always an edgelord. He just doesn't know how to express his concern knowing he had a dreadful past- and that he pledged to both Amy and Maria. He's the kind to protect his loved ones and not let them endure the same thing he experienced, he also guards what's precious to them (that could be humanity or anything else), and now his character has been butchered. His portrayals nowadays is him being a total jerk but he was not the way he is back then. I really hope they bring back this Shadow in the next games
@@Faint7903 I always liked Shadow and we need Maria's ghost playing a much bigger role because that would show he hasn't forgotten her and that she isn't forgotten.
Broken Game or not the fact that this was the last Major Game to feature the rest of the cast as Playable (Minus Team Chaotix Cream Big and Metal Sonic) its a great sendoff for them and also this was a great way to sign off the rest of the 4kidz cast (After 06 we Black Knight and Unleashed which only had Jason Dan Bella Mike and Lisa as the only returning VA's)
@@Shapeshifter-of-Names If you don't like the ship, why don't you complain about the ship of Maria and Shadow?, as well as the marriage of Jessica and Roger Rabbit (a rabbit married to a human)🤷♀️🤷♀️😂😂😂
Mephiles is the darkest villain for killing sonic but I know sonic will be saved and this is the greatest final boss battle and ending of this game of sonic and I know I'm not first but I hope that you read my comment! 💙🦔🥰🎮😭
The fact this final boss, like Metal Overlord in Sonic Heroes, needed THREE Super Transformation characters to fight, and yet, can actually DAMAGE them, is all-time crazy.
This game was incredible few glitch fixes and update to the storyline. Would have been flawless. They def have to keep the Chaos Powers in future games
We do,Mephiles is estabilished as a sadistic that makes things he could finish in a few seconds take extra steps though manipulation and blackmail just fullfill his sadism.
Here are some of my reasons why i consider Princess Elise to be a favorite character. And one of the best Waifus: 1. Unique Character: Princess Elise stands out as a unique character in the Sonic series due to her royal status and distinctive design. 2. Emotional Depth: Her character development in Sonic '06 adds emotional depth to the story, as she faces challenges and grows as a person. 3. Central Role: Elise plays a central role in the plot of Sonic '06, making her an essential character in the game's narrative. 4. Strong-Willed: She exhibits determination and strength of character in her efforts to protect her kingdom. 5. Kind Hearted: Elise's kindness and compassion are traits that endear her to some fans. 6. Love Interest: Her role as Sonic's love interest adds an element of romance to the story. 7. Memorable Moments: Sonic '06 has memorable scenes involving Elise, such as the iconic "kiss" moment. 8. Potential for Fan Fiction: Some fans enjoy exploring her character further in fan fiction and fan art. 9. Contribution to Lore: Princess Elise contributes to the lore of the Sonic universe, expanding the world of the games. 10: She would make for one of the best Waifus in all of Final Fantasy. She is the most beautiful girl in all of the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise.
Brigade I always liked Elise she reminds me of Princess Zelda but in Sonic Style and she's better than Peach Peach. I would like to see her reunite with The Sonic Gang in the newest Sonic Videogames and this time have her meet Cream and Cheese they never got the chance to meet.
This entire last part of the game proves what Sonic 06's worth really was meant to be. Beyond the mess it's known for, Sonic 06 is rather a bigger deal and put a lingering staple to the series. I swear, if this game was remade from the ground up with the same concepts, music, and story...it could be one of the best Sonic games to date. SEGA, Sonic Team...don't be afraid to try again. Second chances are worth it.
Out of everything in this game, I always like to play the last episode at sundown. Why it is it's because I find it epic playing the last episode at the night time while this part of the game is dark and tense.
Its too bad that this game made the misteps that it did with some of story elements and gameplay mechanics, because this ending would've been the cherry on top to what SHOULD'VE been one of the greatest video games of all-time 😭
The thing is I don't think people would've minded the romance between Sonic and Elise as much if 1. Elise was actually her own, developed character and 2. Elise was also a Mobian, NOT a human. Which is a shame because Elise could've been a good chatacter and potential love interest for Sonic if they gave more attention to their 'sheltered, well-mannered girl meets rebellious, free-spirited guy and they both learn from one another' thing going on, but their whole "relationship" falls flat and comes across as weird because she's a full grown human woman giving heart eyes to a talking blue hedgehog.
The part at 37:49 always brings a tear to my eye. Sure the infamous kiss scene may have given the game a bad rep alongside the bugs and glitches aside it, but this shot here, from the feather flying up past Sonic's face, to him gazing at the moon never fails to get me emotional, Sonic and Elise's friendship may have been weird, but after the flame was blown out, it was like friends saying goodbye to each other, as Elise doesn't remember the events of 06 after, whilst Sonic still does, and it's still a bittersweet ending, as this would also be the last time we saw the complete 4Kids cast together for something outside of X, and the music was just the cherry on top, this game and ending could have been done right if the team was just given enough time to patch things, write the story better.
Time and better resource management, if they had both of these this game would’ve been a fucken masterpiece for it’s time. Too bad we’ll never get the same caliber of story telling like this again. Frontiers is decent, definitely the best in a while, but sweet Jesus does it have its flaws. Idk, I’m old now

Lisa Ortiz Voice Is 1st Whole Reason I Love Amy Rose. Amy Would’ve Still Being Awesome If Miss Ortiz Was Still Voicing Amy In 2012-Now Thank You For Voicing Amy Lisa
In my opinion, this fight would have been better if Shadow went to the past, Sonic in the present and Silver in the future because Eggman said Solaris was apart of the past present and future
I just wish this game was properly made and made Elise either an anthropomorphic creature or a full on animal like Somic, Knuckles, Tails, and the others. If that was the case, people would have one less thing to complain about this game. Also, like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, this game should have been worked on more so there were no glitches and/or bugs that would interfere with gameplay. I also don't know why people hate Eggman's design in this game so much. Its a unique take on his usual character design and is really interesting to me.
Shadow had the deepest reaction to Sonic’s death for me. Their relationship development over the years is the best! Also, this is the best version of Shadow they have done to date. Sonic prime is a close second.

I really liked the Final Episode back when I played it as a kid. We can finally play as all of the characters once more. Although I don't like Rouge clamping on the rocks and you can't even unstick her because I have to touch the water or I have to find a flat surface for Rouge to unstick and stop climbing that rocks. The same thing happens on Knuckles.
@@TeamAdventureRules No… have it be a three character team of super forms. (Like Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles… or even just repeat Sonic, Shadow, and Silver.)
the cutscenes in sonic will always confuse me. Like why do the intro and the ending have such good graphics but the in-game ones put very little detail into
Awesome Video! As Sonic is a LOZ fan this game is Sonic's Version of Ocarina Of Time. Which makes Mephiles Sonic's version of Ganondorf, Elise Sonic's version of Zelda, Ibilis, Sonic's version of Volvagia, and Silver Sonic's Version of Rauru The Sage Of Light.

Regardless of 06's events being wiped from existence they still happened with multiple characters having faint memories of it. Silver and blaze's interaction in Colors DS about being familiar with eachother and having a feeling they've met before is a prime example.
I understand why people did not like this game however i think it did a lot of great things and the OST is straight fire. I enjoyed this game for what it was.

The last time they actually help out until Frontiers: The Final Horizon.
@@unevengamers1426
Cool and I do believe it's possible Shadow and Sonic act the way they do now is because Shadow blames himself for what happened and he is distancing himself from his friends because he failed to stop Mephiles in time and Sonic is still hurt over the loss of Chip if these two things are the cause of it it would make total sense.
Easily one of the best Super Sonic fights in the entire series.
Like it was with super triple hedgehogs AND dont forget that solaris is a god....yeah like their super form was able to STOP A GOD

In the end it feels like sonic does remember everything that happened.
I enjoyed this game, I honestly, don’t remember glitches or bugs when playing, this was my introduction to Sonic, and I loved it
I'm pretty sure it's stated in an interview or something along those lines that Shadow and Sonic are the only ones to remember Solaris due to their expirence with the Super Forms. Not too sure how accurate that is though.
@@ultrashadow9551Silver was in super too?
@@moonceIl Yeah but that was his first time using the form. And it's also been shown in later games that he doesn't remember the events of 06.
@@ultrashadow9551 How comes blaze recalls the events then, she discusses them with sonic in 06? I'm pretty sure it's just inconsistent.
I'm not sure how Shadow's personality changed from then to now; he wasn't always an edgelord. He just doesn't know how to express his concern knowing he had a dreadful past- and that he pledged to both Amy and Maria. He's the kind to protect his loved ones and not let them endure the same thing he experienced, he also guards what's precious to them (that could be humanity or anything else), and now his character has been butchered. His portrayals nowadays is him being a total jerk but he was not the way he is back then. I really hope they bring back this Shadow in the next games
Same I prefer this Shadow over edgy the hedgy
Who was that villain name
@@Faint7903
I always liked Shadow and we need Maria's ghost playing a much bigger role because that would show he hasn't forgotten her and that she isn't forgotten.

True but it wouldn't hurt to mention her at least
If you didn't enjoy this cutscene. Just press the skip button already. 22:22
I didn't like that frame but the rest of the scene is pretty epic ngl
@@Michael_Afton40 you're right.
Sonic's death would've been emotional if it was just done right.
Broken Game or not the fact that this was the last Major Game to feature the rest of the cast as Playable (Minus Team Chaotix Cream Big and Metal Sonic) its a great sendoff for them and also this was a great way to sign off the rest of the 4kidz cast (After 06 we Black Knight and Unleashed which only had Jason Dan Bella Mike and Lisa as the only returning VA's)
Wow
Mike Pollock is still voicing Eggman in the games.
1:41 I used to think that Mephiles was sadistically mocking her not to cry
I wish I could recapture the feelings I had first playing this...

the greatest final boss is soloris
Shame to get to this boss you have to beat sonic 06
Honestly I feel like this game should have been a movie rather than a game
The fact this final boss, like Metal Overlord in Sonic Heroes, needed THREE Super Transformation characters to fight, and yet, can actually DAMAGE them, is all-time crazy.
Super forms don’t mean completely invincible, they’re just more durable and can be affected by attacks on their level

22:43 so no one’s talking about how in the cutscene sonic stomach snout and arms are fully gold but after the cutscene it’s just normal super sonic
Yeah wish SEGA would bring back the fully gold super sonic, makes him look even godlier
As for why Mephiles didn’t just bother attacking Sonic right from the very start, other than the plot demanding it, we’ll never know.
We do,Mephiles is estabilished as a sadistic that makes things he could finish in a few seconds take extra steps though manipulation and blackmail just fullfill his sadism.
He wanted Elise get more and more attached to Sonic, then when he dies she would finally cry and break the seal
I wish they had all three super hedgehogs at the results screen rather than just Sonic
Here are some of my reasons why i consider Princess Elise to be a favorite character. And one of the best Waifus:
1. Unique Character: Princess Elise stands out as a unique character in the Sonic series due to her royal status and distinctive design.
2. Emotional Depth: Her character development in Sonic '06 adds emotional depth to the story, as she faces challenges and grows as a person.
3. Central Role: Elise plays a central role in the plot of Sonic '06, making her an essential character in the game's narrative.
4. Strong-Willed: She exhibits determination and strength of character in her efforts to protect her kingdom.
5. Kind Hearted: Elise's kindness and compassion are traits that endear her to some fans.
6. Love Interest: Her role as Sonic's love interest adds an element of romance to the story.
7. Memorable Moments: Sonic '06 has memorable scenes involving Elise, such as the iconic "kiss" moment.
8. Potential for Fan Fiction: Some fans enjoy exploring her character further in fan fiction and fan art.
9. Contribution to Lore: Princess Elise contributes to the lore of the Sonic universe, expanding the world of the games.
10: She would make for one of the best Waifus in all of Final Fantasy. She is the most beautiful girl in all of the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise.
Brigade
I always liked Elise she reminds me of Princess Zelda but in Sonic Style and she's better than Peach Peach.
I would like to see her reunite with The Sonic Gang in the newest Sonic Videogames and this time have her meet Cream and Cheese they never got the chance to meet.
She wasn’t on the legendary top 10 hottest female sonic characters, immediate disagreement
@@brendandoesgamez3154 That list is just full of opinions. Nobody should take that seriously.
14:29
I swear every time I get to this part of Silver's final stage, the game glitches up
I know this game sucks, but you can't say that the final boss sucks it was amazing.
This entire last part of the game proves what Sonic 06's worth really was meant to be. Beyond the mess it's known for, Sonic 06 is rather a bigger deal and put a lingering staple to the series. I swear, if this game was remade from the ground up with the same concepts, music, and story...it could be one of the best Sonic games to date.
SEGA, Sonic Team...don't be afraid to try again. Second chances are worth it.
Solaris Phase 2 is easily the best Final Boss theme in all of the franchise
I like the death egg robot from forces phase 2 ost tho
@@_------------_ Great choice dude.
This was my first ever Sonic game and I absolutely love and appreciate the music and settings. This moment is filled with love and adventure!❤
Out of everything in this game, I always like to play the last episode at sundown. Why it is it's because I find it epic playing the last episode at the night time while this part of the game is dark and tense.
If sonic 07 was the game, then it would’ve been better. Bug fixes and updated Eggman would’ve been better.
Its too bad that this game made the misteps that it did with some of story elements and gameplay mechanics, because this ending would've been the cherry on top to what SHOULD'VE been one of the greatest video games of all-time 😭
If the game was completed as intended and the romance between Sonic and Elise was never a thing, I think this game would've been phenomenal
The thing is I don't think people would've minded the romance between Sonic and Elise as much if 1. Elise was actually her own, developed character and 2. Elise was also a Mobian, NOT a human. Which is a shame because Elise could've been a good chatacter and potential love interest for Sonic if they gave more attention to their 'sheltered, well-mannered girl meets rebellious, free-spirited guy and they both learn from one another' thing going on, but their whole "relationship" falls flat and comes across as weird because she's a full grown human woman giving heart eyes to a talking blue hedgehog.
@@lilchaos9212Yeah I agree. It would've been fine if she was Mobian
The part at 37:49 always brings a tear to my eye.
Sure the infamous kiss scene may have given the game a bad rep alongside the bugs and glitches aside it, but this shot here, from the feather flying up past Sonic's face, to him gazing at the moon never fails to get me emotional, Sonic and Elise's friendship may have been weird, but after the flame was blown out, it was like friends saying goodbye to each other, as Elise doesn't remember the events of 06 after, whilst Sonic still does, and it's still a bittersweet ending, as this would also be the last time we saw the complete 4Kids cast together for something outside of X, and the music was just the cherry on top, this game and ending could have been done right if the team was just given enough time to patch things, write the story better.
23:40 my favorite cutscene
Time and better resource management, if they had both of these this game would’ve been a fucken masterpiece for it’s time. Too bad we’ll never get the same caliber of story telling like this again.
Frontiers is decent, definitely the best in a while, but sweet Jesus does it have its flaws.
Idk, I’m old now
The filter is looking bright for Sonic! Look forward to the rest
Wow silver was not bad I liked his super form
36:32 easily my fav cutscene in the series
The 3rd story after Super Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros, Mario vs Donkey Kong 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure, Sonic Rivals 1 and 2, Mario, Luigi ,Wario and Yoshi of the Mushroom World and Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow and Sliver of Mobius use the Crystal Stars and the Chaos Emeralds to transformed into their Super from to flight the new Metarex name Neo Dark Oak with the help of Bowser, Eggman and their friends.
Lisa Ortiz Voice Is 1st Whole Reason I Love Amy Rose. Amy Would’ve Still Being Awesome If Miss Ortiz Was Still Voicing Amy In 2012-Now
Thank You For Voicing Amy Lisa
Same bro!!
In my opinion, this fight would have been better if Shadow went to the past, Sonic in the present and Silver in the future because Eggman said Solaris was apart of the past present and future
0:36 Aww man. Just like Azula struck Aang.
Nice référence
Can’t lie this games my guilty pleasure
I just wish this game was properly made and made Elise either an anthropomorphic creature or a full on animal like Somic, Knuckles, Tails, and the others. If that was the case, people would have one less thing to complain about this game. Also, like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, this game should have been worked on more so there were no glitches and/or bugs that would interfere with gameplay. I also don't know why people hate Eggman's design in this game so much. Its a unique take on his usual character design and is really interesting to me.
I don’t think her being a human was the issue lol.
They just didn’t need to kiss.
Replace Elise with Sally,easy peasy.
can't wait to play this master piece on my steam deck. emulating is so fun
Welp good luck on that LMAOO
Project-06
Play P-06
Play P-06 on the steam deck it's much easier no emulation needed
My favorite parts of the shows is where Sonic, Shadow and Silver reunion and use the Chaos Emerald to turn into their Hyper forms, i love that
Shadow had the deepest reaction to Sonic’s death for me. Their relationship development over the years is the best! Also, this is the best version of Shadow they have done to date. Sonic prime is a close second.

Yes
I really liked the Final Episode back when I played it as a kid. We can finally play as all of the characters once more. Although I don't like Rouge clamping on the rocks and you can't even unstick her because I have to touch the water or I have to find a flat surface for Rouge to unstick and stop climbing that rocks. The same thing happens on Knuckles.
For the next Sonic game after Frontiers, they need to do a final battle like this.
You mean have a Super Sonic boss fight against an enemy that is even a bigger threat than Eggman?
@@TeamAdventureRules No… have it be a three character team of super forms. (Like Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles… or even just repeat Sonic, Shadow, and Silver.)
the cutscenes in sonic will always confuse me. Like why do the intro and the ending have such good graphics but the in-game ones put very little detail into
Prerendered cutscenes
Time constraints
Technology limitations
That's why in-game cutscenes don't look as good as the CGI

But they should mention it in the rest of The Sonic Series because that's a wasted potential.
@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 unfortunately, the writers after Sonic 06 would dare not bother since the game was taboo due to its failure, so its basically kind of like adding salt to injury so its probably why they dont mention it
@@ianalicando3548
And yet none of the Sonic Characters do anything except Sonic just because he's the main character doesn't mean he should do all the work
@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 they dont know what to do with them, plus most of the writers who cared or the og director of the characters have left, kinda sad. Now they're either stereotypes, pathetically useless, or just there to exist
Man i wish Sonic Team was given more time to finish stuff
The ending, where they blow out Solaris, is why I like to think of this game as non-canon.
Regardless of 06's events being wiped from existence they still happened with multiple characters having faint memories of it. Silver and blaze's interaction in Colors DS about being familiar with eachother and having a feeling they've met before is a prime example.
