- Sonic Colors is supposed to be one of the better recent Sonic games, and having never played it, with Sonic Colors Ultimate now a thing, I figured this was my chance. Subscribe here: bit.ly/sub2choc

Sonic 06 coming…
Which one? The original or the remade one made by a fan (Sonic P-06).
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Sonic Generations on PS3/360 is really good
Oh god….
😟
"I really want a Sonic beat em' up"
So half of Sonic Unleashed?
You mean 80 percent of sonic unleashed? Sadly this is one of the few things wrong with the game
@@sinnoy7297 yeah by numbers of levels it is about half... but by time spent it really is like 80%
@@jeremyabbott4537 that's such a weird thing because the actual boost levels are like 5 minutes long, this is just a testament to how long the werehog levels are
Sonic Battle anyone?
@@IsMgb45 It's fun but you can easily cheese the AI
Can we just appreciate how good that Sonic cosplay is
Finally
Sonic cosplay
Truly
It’s better than Little Z’s cosplay of Sonic
I do
seeing every missed super jump when he just need to mash A is painful
extremely painful
Yeah I love you Choctopus but that really hurt to watch.
Or him skipping over hint rings and getting surprised of what the wisps do
Just this entire thing was painful
Or literally never doing the Spin Dash with Pink Spikes
The visceral, physical pain I felt when I saw Choc manually homing attack all of the lined up pawns at like 1:45 was something I didn't think I'd experience again since the Forces incident
How else would you do it
@@SuperSireBoyYT boost
@@Rowann1 ohhhhh
“Why are we trying to Sonic something something he’s not, by having me slow down and platform”
Slows down and homing attacks
@@SuperSireBoyYT the wisp that makes you go into a laser thing
This entire video was clearly therapy for a man coming to terms with his love for a video game franchise that doesn't always love him back.
As a Star Wars fan living in the modern world, *_I can relate to this pain._*
as a pokemon fan, i can relate too...
Feel free to disagree but I think star wars has it a bit worst off considering what Disney and the people in charge are doing with it.
*Hello there*
I swear i see you everywhere obi wan
As a tf2 fan i i feel all of you
Ok you should definitely play generations, pretty fun tho not big on story it’s the best boost game in terms of levels and gameplay
Let's go
Unleashed was by far one of the best when it came to speed.
Honestly the best sonic game you can play it 20 times and still enjoy it
I agree
@@sencrew5293 Of course that's only during the 30% your playing as regular sonic
I knew Sonic Colors was popular, but I always thought Sonic Generations was *the* best 3D Sonic game.
It is
In recent times Colors, Generations, and Unleashed all get tossed around with that title, which is weird because only a couple of years ago the consensus was almost unanimously in favor of Generations.
People like to leave it out because it’s unoriginal it doesn’t feel like a brand new next gen sonic game
Generations can technically be called a remake for past Sonic games + Modern Sonic in Classic stages and Classic Sonic in Modern stages. And the Modding community in that game is Godsend, I love the Unleashed project.
@@slwoo7432 if you look at it in the context of the time then it would be considered original but yeah its sure lost its originality as time went on but its still a solid game
This video really felt like an unconditioned genuine first reaction to the game. Almost as if you were playing the game back in 2010 (except for when you occasionally mention stuff like generation).
It was very nice to see
I knew nothing going into it.
@@Choctopus it really shows, in a positive way
@@Choctopus better on wii with dolphin emulator.
So who's gonna tell him he can smash the score board at the end?
22:30
It was a lot of fun to animate that intro haha gotta love sonic hedgehog :)
yo its jacob the funny squid man
knew I recognized that style!
Yay!
You did a great job
Sonic colors is one of my first real games ever, had it on the 3ds. it was super fun, and opened up the flood gates for me to become a nerd with a Woop Donald's pfp
You have a nice pfp though
2010
Hold on... Sonic colors never released on 3ds... sussy baka
@@rabbidscool I played it on a 3ds, it's a ds game
I had 3 games on my Wii. Mario, Mario kart, and sonic colors. Everything else was stuff like m&m beach volleyball
2:52 technically in the 2D games there was a considerable amount of slower platforming, but its crafted in such a way that if you know what you are doing you can fly through it. Sadly, I dont think thats the case here for modern 3D sonic.
@null It also helps to get a handle on how Sonic handles...
Colors has worse level design. But unleasched and generations made it work perfect
Also the controls are kinda off.
Sonic colors is great in almost everything and probably the best Wii sonic, but some people really didn't like the 2D level design, and honestly the bosses kinda suck
@@Gustavo-po9bd The 2D is pretty lame, not as bad as the bosses, but it harms the game a lot, considering many stages are fully 2D
The thing about Unleashed is that it has 2 distinct kinds of stages- day stages and night stages. Day stages are traditional sonic go fast levels and people seem to pretty universally agree that they're pretty good. The night stages though, those are more slow platformer beat-em-ups, and people are HEAVILY divided on if they're fine or absolute garbage that ruins the whole game.
Since you said you wanted a sonic beat-em-up though, maybe you'd have fun with them. Though tbh other than technically playing as sonic they're nothing like any other sonic thing ever
I feel like the Werehog stages are fine, they just really needed a drop shadow for platforming. Otherwise, I think the combo system was really cool, and one of the last few times Sega tried something new
Personally I'm on the fine side myself. I remember enjoying them when I first played Unleashed as a kid, but thinking back on them I feel like now I'd find them kinda clunky, but not awful or anything
I'm on the fine side myself. I typically relay the levels and try to complete them as fast as I can. I love the gear platforming near the end of the Rooftop run night level
I would go as far as to say the day stages are not great either. They are decently fun at least at first but not well designed and it becomes clear pretty quickly that they didn't have many ideas where to take the game and kept repeating ideas. It was never going to compare favorably but Mario Galaxy has more ideas in the first hour than Unleashed has in the entire game and it came out a year prior. At its' best it isn't a great game or even a good game.
I personally love both day and night stages, it's not every day you can physically throw hands with enemies in a Sonic game
I wish they brought a bit of that mechanic back, but of course done right
"He's gone and absorbed one"
Me...Imagines Sonic having a meal and an alien bursting out of his stomach Alien style!
(My memory of the first Sonic game is a bit hazy because we used to get drunk and play it at Uni....YES! I AM aware that I am old)
I personally think that the best part about colors was the themes for the stages. Sweet mountain and starlight carnival just look amazing. One of my least favorite things about forces was just how boring the themes of the stages were. Green Hill again, yaaaay...
That use Green Hill on that gamebecause like Mania those games were to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Sonic,it came out one year later but that was the point, they have to use Green Hill because it was the very first level on a Sonic game, Mania and Generation did the same and I don't see nobody complain about that.
“Wow the lever just takes out the entire ship”
Eggman: Mario games are more popular so I’m trying to be more like bowser
"You can't even hurt me Mario! Let me just stand here on this bridge with an axe on the other side ready to be dropped to destroy the bridge so I can plunge into the molten lava below. You will never beat me Mario!"
“I would love a sonic beat em up”
*sonic unleashed night stages*
“Allow us to introduce ourselves”
"There should be a sonic beat 'em up..." Well, have I got the GBA title for you... Sonic Battle. Play it through to the ending, don't bother with completion. Beat the game
Also if you wanna count the Werehog Sonic Unleashed.
Definitely one of the most painful playthroughs I've ever seen, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I reccomend after getting all the Wisps unlocked, going through all the levels and getting the red rings. Getting an S rank is based on high scores, so learning how to get everything fast is super fun!
And beat all the achievements
Heroes was my gateway into the blue blur, while Colours was the one who got me fully into the games. I'll never forget the hours I put into Colours, playing the last boss battle over and over again because that was my favourite apparently 😂
I also really adored Sonic and the Black Knight. That was, and still is my all time favourite sonic game
Colors is pretty good, even if this port was a mess but I would say Gens is better. Unleashed isn't a bad game just the fighting isn't for everyone
I played gens so much played a bit of lost world to
As a huge fan of unleashed I understand how someone could hate it the werehog goes against what most people think sonic is it’s slow and isn’t as platform heavy also the medals can be annoying at times
Eh Gens was mediocre imo
@Federal Bureau of Investigation what???
@@mastertjt56 The fact that got 2 like is sad
The big thing about Sonic Colors is it gets better after you beat the game because the wisps unlock new pathways for you to take in every stage.
4:34 I love how genuine and almost childlike that was
8:50 It's funny he calls the popcorn out of place later on, but doesn't notice the cheeseburger in the back.
The Sonic beat-em-up you asked for is IN Sonic Unleashed. Literally Werehog gameplay. Food for thought!
What about Sonic Battle? Or however the one with Emerl was called.
@ Right name, but not a beat-em-up. I think the genre name is closer to arena fighter.
@@Parapsyche okay, then.
@user23 23 That's a fighting game. Literally in the name.
Choccy: why is sonic being slow right now?
Me: probably because your stopping yourself for one measly collectable.
What makes this game good for me, is the fact that it's fun to replay and find everything
Generations is Colors with the kinks worked out, IMO. Plus it hits the nostalgia, so that's a plus.
Fun Fact: Every Act in the game uses one big level, just spread out.
Nope! In the original game's code is leftover developer notes (in Japanese) for what each stage was suppose to be.
• Tropical Resort: Act 1 was split into Acts 1 and 2, while the real Act 2 becoming Act 3.
• Sweet Mountain: Act 1 was split into Acts 1 and 2, while the real Act 2 was split and became Acts 3 and 5.
• Planet Wisp: Act 1 was split into Acts 1 and 4 while, Act 2 was changed to Act 6.
• Aquarium Park: Act 1 was split into Acts 1 and 4, while Act 2 was changed to Act 6.
• Asteroid Coaster: Act 1 was split into Acts 1 and 2, while the real Act 2 was changed to Act 6.
Both Starlight Carnival and Terminal Velocity remain intact although the former's Act 2 was placed on Act 5 and there are hints of a scrapped Act 3 in each level with unused collision/geometry on each planet/zone, unfortunately enemies and objects aren't loaded in the unused sections.
The extra acts in Colors are nothing more than filler levels like in Unleashed, Generations (both versions) and Colors DS.
It's actually just a few instances of reused level assets with different object/enemy layouts. Though it's only present in 3 acts of the game
@@justsomesimplenuclearbirbs4313 I really wish the stages weren't split up and the clear bonus stages were optional, I would've enjoyed the game so much more if I had 2 full levels per world and 4 unlockables that I could go back to for 100%
@@OscarSanchez-vo9dx Well that's what they did for the DS version of Colors. Two main acts then a boss with three side-missions each one either a "get this amount rings/wisps", "defeat this many badniks" or "reach the goal in this amount of time".
A similar thing was done with the 3DS version of Generations where the missions are completely optional and only give unlockable content for the gallery instead of needing to clear three random missions to continue. The Chaos Emeralds were also given actual Special Stages instead of a reward for beating a boss with the Special Stages themselves ripped from Sonic Heroes with Generations' somewhat silky-smooth controls instead of the original's wonky and floaty controls.
Shame not many folks care/know about the handheld versions of certain Sonic games.
@@justsomesimplenuclearbirbs4313 oh I love colors DS that was my first experience with colors years ago and I 100% it vs not even being able to stomach colors on Wii, I never finished it
Choc: What did Sonic just decide to check out his arch nemesis theme park?
Sonic: Eggman built a theme park? Of course we have to check it out
"Why are we trying to make Sonic something that he's not by making him slow down and platform"
BECAUSE SONIC IS A PLATFORMING GAME!!! HE'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT SPEED!!! Speed is your reward for being good at the game, Not something you can just spam without a care in the world
Hearing someone who hasn't played sonic in years preach about what sonic should be, it's an intresting experience alright.
As someone who has yet to play most Sonic games (grew up on SA1 and 2), it's funny that I agree with him pretty much lol
I just gotta say Sonic really didn’t have that bad of a line up after secret of the rings. Sonic Unleashed is a great game that introduced the boost gameplay in the 3d games and you could run at break neck speeds while the game tests your skills and reflexes, and it saved the series after 06. Black knight on the wii was a major improvement from secret of the rings gameplay wise and has the best characteristic of Sonic. Sonic Generations perfected the boost gameplay. Mania brought back classic gameplay and showed how dedicated the fan base really is to the franchise. Even though this was a Sonic video it felt felt very negative. One last thing Sonic was jumping from wall to wall in Sonic Adventure, Sonic wall jumping is a staple at this point.
this was my most played and most loved sonic game of all time. I used to wake up every day and play it on my Wii so much so that my mother has "reaching for the Stars" engraved in her memory- and thats not a joke either. Damn what id give to play this game again... I need to buy this again.
You bought it yet?
The DS sonic colors was a fully 2d game, and it even had a couple different power ups
DS, not 3DS
@@Guim27 right, my bad
9:20 that looks Like the sonic cd easter egg screen sonic, you know? Looks great :3
34:57 A score of 0? How, indeed?
*looks at 20-minute timer*
oh. a man has suffered here.
Hey, choctopus. Have you ever played the advance trilogy? It's similar to classic sonic games. The zones have really cool themes and the music is great.
Only 1 and 2 back in the day.
Scott own Sonic jam and sonic 2 with a line,
Choc own sonic colors.
I think we know who would win
Someone's definitely said this by now, but Sonic Colors was originally going to have a different Zone structure. 2 Acts, a boss, and 3 optional missions. This is how the DS version stayed, but they split one of the Acts in 2 in every Zone and made the missions required for the Wii version (which is what Ultimate is based from) because they thought the game would be too short for a home console release.
“Sonic beat em up”
… isn’t that Sonic Boom?
Choc do you know about Sonic the Fighters? It's an arcade game that got ported to the PS2 and GameCube via Sonic Gems Collection!
You really need to play Sonic Generations.
And Unleashed.
27:49 i havent played this game basically since it came out but back then my favorite was drill by a longshot. I always loved drilling around, especially since they not only made drilling in water a feature as well but even gave it a great alternate track to ground drilling
I mean, nowadays people say Sonic Generations is the best
I love Generations and Colors the best 3D Sonic games since Adventure 2
Yes many agree with that.
No nowadays people say 06 and unleashed is the best
@Kian Colors literally outsold
@Kian lmao plz Generations is barely a game it gets most its hype from modding
As an expert sonic colors player that has well over 100+ hours in the original game for the wii and unlocked everything. This was both amazing and painful to watch
Sonic Generations would make for such a fun video! I recently replayed it (100%!) and it’s so much fun. Still my favorite Sonic game. 👍✨
Same
“Would we call it a war? I mean it’s just Sonic”
*uh oh*
Sonic & the Secret Rings does start slow, but becomes a great experience the more you play it. I hated the game at first but then started to really enjoy it later on.
Wait a second. "I loved Adventure 1 and 2, and then Heroes came out". And from there you go on to talk about Sonic 06.
Are you just going to pretend that Shadow the Hedgehog never happened? I mean I can totally see why you would do that, but still... I dunno, there is something weirdly fascinating about playing as an edgy Sonic who has a gun. It's one of the weirdest acid trips I've ever experienced.
Honestly. the version on the DS, of all things, did this game so much more justice.
“Make a sonic beat em up”
Sonic unleashed: am I a joke to you?
sonic and the black knight has to be one of the most underrated sonic games
"I really want a sonic beat em' up"
Sega one year later: *releases sonic frontiners* are you happy now?
I suggest trying Unleashed. I'm pretty sure everyone loves the daytime levels, including me, it's just the nightime that's controversial. As long as you don't have a problem with hack n slash, you should enjoy it like I did.
Hell I sort of like the night stages, I felt badass as a kid hitting combos and time attack finishers, man that felt different
@@willo7048 Same here. And the slow paced platforming worked well with it.
@@gavinfox7216 it’s fun but I just hated taking 30 minutes on each stage😭
I think this game kinda depends on if you played the Wii version with it because I have a lot of nostalgic memories with this game (since this was one of my first sonic games) and also I guess it gives the replay ability with unlocking all the wisps and going into alternate routes. Also the music has gotta count for something because the music for this game is freaking awesome.
37:08 That cut-scene was also the highest quality cut-scene in the wii version of sonic colors.
Just keep these kind of videos up! You make me laugh every second!!!!!
Finally, a game I can watch gameplay on without spoilers
Still my favorite sonic game, excited to see how you feel about it now
"Nobody says clobbering anymore"
_King Dedede would like to know your location_
Sonic Colors was my first ever Sonic game and it was downright amazing!
Just seeing you struggle through it though and figuring it out was so funny because it was EXACTLY like me XD
damn the nostalgia. I played this game years ago as a rental
that one part in planet wisp where you spam "A" and it says good ect. took me way WAY too long to notice you needed to spam "A" to continue jumping i fell so many times and looked around the entire level just to figure that out
0:17 Who's gonna tell Choc that there were THREE sonic cartoons?
My favorite game and one of my favorite youtubers. This is the ultimate video
Fans: "This is the GOOD Sonic game!"
Everyone else: ... He controls like a sack of wet sand.
It is one of the good ones, this is just a bugged remake and it’s already ruining the original game’s reputation
I would just like to say that Sonic Adventure is my absolute favorite Sonic game and that it’s in my top 10 all time games, despite the many, MANY glitches and clips through the floor
@NairMcgee GameCube version: you can clip through the ground as Tails by Emerald Coast as well as in Emerald Coast as Sonic during the whale thing. I clipped through the ground before it ever destroyed the bridge.
I actually got into the swing of Secret Rings and found myself enjoying it more than I anticipated. It's slow at first, but white-knuckle once you're halfway though it.
Is no one gonna talk about how he said “BACK IN MY DAY”
Dr Eggman says: "death to epileptics"
My favorite Wisp is the Frenzy Wisp becuase it looks cool and it's fun to use and looks cool when you use it.
Real Title: Choctopus Talks about Sonic while someone in the background plays sonic colors ultimate
This intro had me so confused cus I brain farted and thought this was alpharad and was insanely perplexed about his age😂😂😂 love the vids choc! Your balan wonderland series was hilarious
Funnily enough, you say that the Sonic fandom has stockholm syndrome. But a lot of the fan-base has seemed to turn on Sonic Colors lately, mostly due to some of it's less positive qualities being magnified and brought to the forefront by the succeeding games.
if the drowning theme gave you nightmares, then does the sound of him breathing a bubble give you peace?
Sonic’s “gotta go fast” slogan is a very mild suggestion. Also Sega really shouldn’t have hired that sonic “fan” ingame who yells good and amazing right before you die, I think he’s one of Eggman’s employees.
10:06 Kettle Corn is sweet!
Also, that time stamp is my birthday lol
Sonic games are all about memorization even the classic ones
Going fast is a reward for memorizing the layouts and getting to best routes
So if it feels like you are being punished for going fast is just because you need to do more playthroughs
(Tho is not like Sonic Colors is good enough to warrant another playthrough)
Correct, meanwhile casual players will have no trouble getting through the game because the ring system is designed to keep them afloat no matter how much they get hit. It's kind of an ingenious way to split the audience
Are we not going to talk about how this man beat the entire game in 40 minutes?
nah, there's cuts and edits inbetween. it's probably longer than 40 but less than 2 hours.
"I call upon the power of ALL the homies!" X'D Something about that was just so CUTE and pure! I love it! This was an awesome playthrough! Hilarious! Loved it! Your genuine excitement and commentary were super fun! Thanks for this! :D
The saddest thing about the sonic color bosses is that with the first ferris wheel, if you use Lazer, it's an instant kill, and with the spaceships (blimps) if you use rocket when it goes 2d it's also an instant kill (or phase, been too long)
I didn’t realise choc has played sonic for so long
Holy shit i completely forgot this channel for so long! RUclips algorithm finally did its job!
"Make a Sonic beat-em-up"
Sonic Frontiers with combat system:
"All you had to do was ask"
Fun fact to answer one of the questions in the video
Grinding on rails was actually introduced in Sonic Adventure 2, where Sonic got shoes inspired by real life shoes introduced at the time that were originally meant for grinding on rails, and were the new cool thing of the early 2000’s, hence why his shoes in that game are different from every other game in the series. They had decided this because of the whole cool thing, in which they were leaning into in order to appeal to current teens at the time of the games release
They really did just steal the ending from Mario Galaxy
Literally no, mario galaxy ends with the universe being recreated, sonic colors ends with wisps saving sonic from a black hole.
"Took a page out of Mario for this one"
Yeah thats nothing new lol
My favorite wisp is the spikes one. Because if you use it CORRECTLY it's a super fast spin dash that goes along walls. Something that feels like sonic should have naturally
Choctopus is what I like to call “backseat gaming prone.”
Even tho people are starting to hate on this game, this game still is a good game despite it’s problems. This was my first sonic game
I'm so sorry
@@juanitobenito bruh
If you ever revisit any old sonic game on the wii, I can definitely recommend Sonic and the black knight. While a storybook game, controls are pretty decent. Gameplay isn't exactly sonic-esque but, story wise it's really good. Idk. Perhaps it's nostalgia but the gameplay was fun.
Sonic riders on the gamecube is p good too.
I LOVE Sonic and the Black Knight! But like you said, mostly for the Sonic characterization and story! IMO, it's how modern Sonic should always be! (Wish that WAS the case!) Really hoping Frontiers leans into that characterization for Sonic! *crossed fingers emoji*
9:21 that really is a great drawing of Sanic!
6:27 idk why this got me lol
I'm surprised you didn't run into the glitches (unless they got removed)
Man. This guy ignored the tutorials more than egoraptor does in every video game ever. Theres so little boosting and other gameplay features being used
I like the new little animated avatar for Choc, it just works so well for his channel.
Choctopus : "I really want a Sonic beat em' up"
SEGA : "Now announcing Sonic Frontiers"
