Felix the Cat movie clearly inspired Tails' backstory with 100% superfluous fox scene, songs that sound like christmas songs, and a type of Chili dog is mentioned in the film, one with sauerkraut from New York. Early Robotnik design would have gotten his magical pillow from Felix's bag of tricks. In other news, same kind of movie from since-Studio-Ghibli called the Flight of Dragons clearly inspired Zelda, including CD-i zelda as Nintendo was probably hoping for sort of a DVD movie experience, by Phillips who invented the DVD technology.
Notable Omissions: . Bumblebee Eggman . Fang The Jerboa (Originally known as Jet’s) head was shaped after Opa-Opa’s design . Vector’s original design seen in the ‘Sonic Rock Band’ concept idea (which is where Sharps the Parakeet comes from) . Charmy The Bee’s original design from the Sonic The Hedgehog Manga (WHICH IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT)
That Charmy design you're thinking of is actually kind of funny because it's specifically how that artist in particular drew it. The other artists who worked on the manga drew Charmy with a design very similar to the games, with the helmet ang goggles and stuff. That one artist just ignored the established designs. Same goes for Amy, that artist drew her with brown fur and completely different hair.
The bird wearing the sunglasses was supposed to be one of Sonic's friends in the first game before he was scrapped because of time constraints. The names depended on whether it was either Sharps or Max. Just a little fun fact here for a moment: Vector & the sunglasses bird were both created by Naoto Ohsima.
honey was scrapped in sonic the fighters originally, so technically blaze debuted before, but honey is older. theres also Sara in the sonic Ova who is some weird cat human thing.
Fang is actually a jerboa, it was confirmed by Sega when they were talking about sonic superstars. That Cream design with the ears to the side is a jerboa too.
An actual travesty that he wasn’t in the IDW comics. I’m still holding out hope that this was only because they plan to do something with him in the future, but I’m not gonna hold my breath.
4:30 Boomer's only colored appearance was in the "sonic learns to drive" comic. In the comic, he has yellow skin, a red shell on his back, a grey underbelly for the shell, and red and white sneakers.
Given that Boomy was being drawn several years before Pokémon was even a thing, I don’t think it was a reference. Also the sunglasses wearing bird is named Max the Parakeet
About Tails early design, I can't remember where I heard that but in the early concepts of Tails design the developpers didn't know if they wanted him to be a fox or a tanuki, the fox was chosen because more recognizable. Also I'm surprised you didn't talk about othe sonic designs like his usa clothes wearing wolf design that we do have drawings of
now *this* was fun, i never always go out of my way to go looking for info like these, so an original video like this is really appreciated, thank you for making this :)
I'd 100% take an IDW follow-up video, there's so many cool things the artists were able to share for the new characters, and we actually have more info on them
That chicken looking thing from the cayotix was from sonic's cut band from sonic one. Its also where vector came from. I don't remember his name but I believe he is a parakeet. His character is reused in the comics.
Its worth noting during very early development of Sonic Heroes Gamma was actually supposed to return after being rebuilt before eventually being replaced with Omega. So maybe this concept art of Omega you've seen was supposed to be Gamma after being rebuilt
It'd be a fun parallel to his needle mouse roots if the rabbit acts like Oswald, where he hates sonic and is jealous of him as a hero like how Oswald the lucky rabbit lives in mickey mouse shadow And Lives in resentment of his Successor.
*Looking at Blaze's concept art* Aaaah, it's a base for Surge? Like seriously, IDW used this to make Surge just by giving it the glitch sonic color pallet.
They used the turtle character in a sonic Archie comics. I remember reading it as a kid. But the fact sonic gave a turtle ride in the movie was a reference blows my mind.
Charmy did appear in the Sonic Manga before Knuckles Chaotix where he had a drastically different design. Vector was also in a lot of Sonic 1 concept art looking more like a normal cartoon crocodile
When you mention knuckles could have possibly been our first cat in the series then mention blaze insinuating that she was the first cat but then few mins after shows big the cat designs haha, just thought I’d point that out 😅
The “Mr Needlemouse” was a mistranslation as the word “Hedgehog” in Japanese is spelt with the same characters as needle and mouse, so his name was originally going to be “Mr Hedgehog”
While it’s interesting to think that some of Boomer (that’s the name I’m sticking with) The Turtle’s designs may have been inspired by say Squirtle from Pokémon, I highly doubt it as Boomer (before being replaced by Miles “Tails” Prower) was intended to be introduced in Sonic The Hedgehog 2, which released in 1992. The Pokémon franchise started in 1996. But still, the potential design inspiration is interesting nonetheless.
Ironically tortoise and the hare added a black cat is a fun team Heros concept! Edit: HOW EVER The Tortoise and the Hare added with the mole is more logical in my point of view as sonic and knuckles are like Rivals in a friendly way so basically a rabbit and a mole is basically fitting Rivals in a grown level even a underground like who is a best digger!
I heard somewhere that Silver's name was originally Venice. I believe they did this because Soleana was inspired by Italy. idk don't quote on that though.
Fun fact about Knuckles' Chaotix development: There's litteraly nothing known about the development. The closest thing is Sonic Clackers and it's concept art, and some unused sprites.
The art for knuckles chaotics the chicken I believe was from the same place vector is from, cause originally vector was from when sonic was gonna be in a band for the original game, and there was also a chicken
there was an early concept where sonic would be the lead singer of a rock band and vector was going to be in it so its possible that was the earliest know version of the choatix
9:26 That render of Knuckles was one used in UK magazines at the time of the game’s release, it wasn’t a development image. It’s a semi official render done by SEGA of Europe at the time to promote the game’s release. He was designed off the sprite used in Sonic 3 alone, that explains his sort of pink coloring and the yellow cuffs/socks he’s wearing since Sonic 3 had a different color pallet for Knuckles. I mean both the Modern and Classic Metal Sonic’s have the same designs, the only real difference is the proportions of the head and a slight length adjustment for his arms and legs. Now Boom Metal Sonic on the other hand… the design makes no sense in universe. It doesn’t look like Boom Sonic, it’s just Modern Metal Sonic taken from Generations, and made lankier. They had the opportunity to really give us a cool Metal Sonic for the Boom canon, maybe incorporate the tape and bandana, or the extra quills. Have him look more like the Boom Badnik designs. Those are uniquely Boom, it was just a wasted opportunity and I’ve felt this way for a decade now. Same applies to Modern Metal Sonic, he could use some more of the Modern Sonic style, it’s a crying shame he never got unique shoes or upgrade parts to match Sonic in the Adventure games. Maybe it’s just my love of mecha that makes me feel this way, but it would be nice if every time we saw Metal Sonic he had some new visible enhancements, nothing to dramatically change his design, but enough to tell that he’s improved to match Sonic as he is currently. It could sell more toys, it’s money on the table, and a market they just aren’t tapping into. Man just thinking about it, I can’t help but want a spin off where you make Badniks or robots in general, you can choose a series/set to work from as a base, and you can add parts to make it your own. Something like Spore but for Eggman’s Robots. I’d love to play that game, and you can use the robots to take over zones, including new unique zones, but you have to be careful not to be found out otherwise you’ll meet resistance, depending on the danger level it could be ex soldiers from the Forces war, all the way up to the main characters. But once you reach that point you wont ever beat them, you might push them back but you wont win. The whole point is being strategic and avoiding combat with the main cast if at all possible, so intelligence gathering and careful planning is necessary if you intend on winning. It could be used as a way to explore the world in a way the main games just don’t do, and the explanation is easy, it’s because that’s how Eggman does things, we’re playing as him after all. There could even be special levels or parts of the game which take place in the past, be it from before the events of Sonic 1 that was talked about in the Japanese manual, since both Eggman and Sonic had encountered each other before their encounter on South Island. Or we could be there on the ground when Eggman takes over the world during Forces in the 6 month time gap, heck we could see how he took over the planets in Colors, or created Eggmanland, the possibilities are endless. We could even get a Movie tie in, something like Shadow Generations though without Jim Carrey unless he’s willing to do voice work for a reasonable price. And seeing as he loves playing Eggman, he might actually do it, being able to play as himself in a game might be interesting for him. I wonder if he was ever asked that in an interview before… I might have to look and see now. Anyway this went off track a while ago, thanks for reading this far if you have, I just had a lot of thoughts and felt like sharing them. Feel free to share your own!
I get it out of all other designs that making it’s they bring them all together and you can see that why you see the gamma designs they’re making them altogether and that’s how they make the final character

In the translation it is in fact Max. And the type of bird is a Parakeet
@@TheMysticObservatoryand There was a monkey named Max.
Thanks I was wondering who it was
Blaze isn't the first cat character because honey was before her and big
honey was scrapped in sonic the fighters originally, so technically blaze debuted before, but honey is older. theres also Sara in the sonic Ova who is some weird cat human thing.
@@adragonfruitreal big tho
@@thenut4221 yeah I know I’m commenting on if honey is technically older than blaze. I know big is older than blaze.
Fang is actually a jerboa, it was confirmed by Sega when they were talking about sonic superstars. That Cream design with the ears to the side is a jerboa too.
You forgot to mention that Vector the Crocodile was meant to be in the first Sonic game, but was scrapped due to the development time
11:55 his name is ''max'', katakanized as ''ma - a - ku - su''
*Makkusu
ﾂ makes the consonant longer, not the vowel
Infinite was such a wasted character. He has so much potential he deserves justice.
An actual travesty that he wasn’t in the IDW comics. I’m still holding out hope that this was only because they plan to do something with him in the future, but I’m not gonna hold my breath.
I guess you can say, *INFINITE* potential
@STAI2GAZER I really really truly hope so. He deserves another chance and a much better back story.
@@mickhithemouse no hate. But get out for that lmao.
@@infintebruh007 lol
10:45 well hes a Jerboa actually. His final height does fit because of this.
Not many people know sadly because the USA couldn't translate his last name and didn't know what a jerboa is so they made him a weasel
Was about to say this.
Funny enough, I want to say he's called "Weasel" not so much because of the animal, but the type of characteristic he has.
@@BrothaKyo it's fine
4:30
Boomer's only colored appearance was in the "sonic learns to drive" comic. In the comic, he has yellow skin, a red shell on his back, a grey underbelly for the shell, and red and white sneakers.
The colors were actually based on a sprite sheet from Devianart
Given that Boomy was being drawn several years before Pokémon was even a thing, I don’t think it was a reference. Also the sunglasses wearing bird is named Max the Parakeet
22:56 the design on the left is a red panda!
1:45 There is an official character. His name is *Ristar.*
9:29 This is not concept art, but graphics that were made after the release of the first part of Sonic 3
H E D E H O G
*Ya beat me to this comment, lol!* 😂

22:05 pretty sure the first concept design for cream is a cat and the second one is a jerboa
We needed more concept art videos
I'd 100% take an IDW follow-up video, there's so many cool things the artists were able to share for the new characters, and we actually have more info on them
I always love seeing concept art of character designs and this video I really enjoy watching it nice job man
There’s an unused Omega design in the Sonic Heroes Storyboards for the Team Dark intro cutscene.
Fang's head was inspired by the Opa-Opa character from Fantasy Zone, funny enough.
That chicken looking thing from the cayotix was from sonic's cut band from sonic one. Its also where vector came from. I don't remember his name but I believe he is a parakeet. His character is reused in the comics.
11:56 this chicken was apart of the scrapped sonic band back when sonic used to have one.
I think Omega was supposed to look a lot like Gamma from a concept art I've seen on him if you want to know. I still prefer his finished design more.
Its worth noting during very early development of Sonic Heroes Gamma was actually supposed to return after being rebuilt before eventually being replaced with Omega. So maybe this concept art of Omega you've seen was supposed to be Gamma after being rebuilt
9:41 this is not official Knuckles art, it’s from a magazine
the parrot at 12:33 is called max
10:36
Nah
jerboa, which is WAY smaller than a Hedgehog lol
I like to imagine the first concept art of Rouge as her going through her teenage phase. 😂
4:27
Bro be lookin like a Koopa Troopa
20:24 bag with chaos emeralds
It'd be a fun parallel to his needle mouse roots if the rabbit acts like Oswald, where he hates sonic and is jealous of him as a hero like how Oswald the lucky rabbit lives in mickey mouse shadow And Lives in resentment of his Successor.
I like how Infinte always had a mask.

The 2nd sonic concept is mr needlemouse which was Sonic’s og name which was mistranslated as the name was mr hedgehog
love the look into the development of the characters, but i think you might wanna test for blue/purple and yellow/orange color blindness my guy
*Naturally loves the part regarding Blaze X3*
Charmy did appear in the Sonic Manga before Knuckles Chaotix where he had a drastically different design. Vector was also in a lot of Sonic 1 concept art looking more like a normal cartoon crocodile
Hi, I do Japanese at school and that chicken (Idk what it is) says "matsukusu". I read some comments, I think it's Max.
I can’t believe sonic superstars added the rabbit (like he even has a pixel form and a super form (not like that’s interesting)
Some of Blaze concept art gives me Surge the Tenrec vibes fo to how it's design
When you mention knuckles could have possibly been our first cat in the series then mention blaze insinuating that she was the first cat but then few mins after shows big the cat designs haha, just thought I’d point that out 😅
Shadow's design is very of it's time which is very fitting because sonic's of design is very early 90s. Shadow is the NuSonic era 🤣
The “Mr Needlemouse” was a mistranslation as the word “Hedgehog” in Japanese is spelt with the same characters as needle and mouse, so his name was originally going to be “Mr Hedgehog”
Take a shot for every time "Actually" is spoken. I get it tho. Talking is hard.
11:40This is not related to Knuckles Chaotix, this is a black and white version of the Sonic manga art in which Amy first appeared
While it’s interesting to think that some of Boomer (that’s the name I’m sticking with) The Turtle’s designs may have been inspired by say Squirtle from Pokémon, I highly doubt it as Boomer (before being replaced by Miles “Tails” Prower) was intended to be introduced in Sonic The Hedgehog 2, which released in 1992.

2:46 this is the reason I want to hear Eggman's voice actor recite the nursery rhyme Wee Willie Winkie
There’s actually some tails concept art but the main changes were simply his color scheme and sprites looking a lot more like AOSTH/satam tails
8:58 blaze wasn’t the first cat big was
RESPECT FOR BIG
this was unexplainably entertaining great video
The simps who like rouge and see the concept art: HECK NAW
The green Perfect Chaos might’ve been reused for Tikhaos in the Archie Comics.
You forgot to mention the somewhat loved early sonic concept Mr Needle mouse Whos like so funny lol
12:02 His name is Max

Its funny that Amy didn't really have that much early concept art yet she's the one who got the biggest redesign in the modern era.

actually, squirtle squad aired in 1998, while sonic 2 came out in 1992 :)
Boomy and Sonic could´ve been a play at a Sonic-Boom
The translation for the bird looking chaotix character translates to max

I really hope they repurpose that 2nd Infinite design one day. Either for a new game character or at least an IDW character.
26:31 that's a vat not a fox
11:53 the chickens name roughly translates to “Makksu” which is just Max. Max later went on to be The Rabbits name
Imagine a game that follows the adventure of the Blue Rabbit, and Boomy 😀

Eggman's rolling cuz he's so fat
22:42 oh so that's how they created surge, does that mean she's creams daughter? :-D
Why is Bonnie Here? :Its a Joke: 0:17
33:18 Honestly, it kinda looks like they recycled this design into Mimic the Octopus. Giving me the same vibes.
Personally Sonic's slicked quills match him more cause he goes so fast they're stuck like that lol

Other Proto Silver: Bronze the Porcupine.
Basically the Sonic of Silver's Good Future, minus the whole "main character" thing.
Mummy Infinite: Literally Infinite's corpse being repurposed, maybe by that Owl design you liked so much.
I really like the Silver ones.
Blaze is not the first cat, that honor would go to Sara from the sonic ova (sort of? She's like half human), or Big the cat.
Fun fact: did you know in a sonic mania short for a second you can see bunny ears on Sonic’s head
The 2nd cream option is NOT a rabbit it is a jerboa
I’m happy with the final designs
5:13 if it’s concept art for sonic 2 then it would have predated Pokémon by a few years so this joke kinda flops
“before blaze was introduced knuckles couldve been our first cat” bro forgot about Big 😭
4:05 Tails has concept art in which he is smaller and brown and has no fur on his face and belly
5:11 sonic came 5 years prior to Pokémon. just saying.
Gamera 4:34
Black and grey =purple
Purple =nothing
May I just point out “Feels” the rabbit was actually a misinterpretation, his actual name in Japan is “Reto” and in English it’s “Max”
10:39 correction he isnt a weasel, hes actually a Jerboa.
The earlier red echidna wasn't concept art, it was UK art
4:27 tails was supposed (it not confirmed) but he was supposed to be a Tanuki
Fun fact 10:04 knuckles moon chest was tan colored in the old games
There was a competition held for Sonic’s sideckik and Tails was the winner.
The birds name is max
Okay, so I can not speak Japanese but fortunately my dad can. And I think that the chicken is called Max.
24:13 that you could barely see any features at all.me: exactly the point
34:14 no wonder you have those kinda chooses for sonic forces
4:20 there’s a old design of brown tails
9:00 Before Blaze? What about Big the cat?
