I thought you meant since the first room hacks video (idk why my brain registered it that way) and I was like "pretty sure it's been 6 years, and I discovered antdude when he made the 2nd one, which means I've been following him for 5 years, right?". Turns out the original was 7 years ago, and I've been following him for 6 years. Yeah it did blow my mind a bit, but then knowing I read your comment wrong and that it's been 5 whole years since the from hacks 3 and knuckles episodes blows my mind even more. Like yeah I saw previous episodes when they came out, but that one, I was subscribed with notifs on at the time. So it was brand new from an hour or two when I saw it. So it always registered as "one of the recent episodes".

A quick thing to add regarding the music. Music modding is the easiest thing in the world on Sonic 3 AIR. I replaced the themes for Ice Cap and Lava Reef with the themes for Diamond Dust and Volcano Valley from 3D Blast, and swapped out the miniboss and mainboss themes for the first and second boss themes from 3D Blast, respectively. It all fits fantastically, especially during the setpiece at the end of Lava Reef Act 2 with the lava fall and the Death Egg in background with the 3D Blast second boss theme playing. I read a tutorial for music modding and, while it requires a basic understanding of Audacity, got a perfectly working music mod the same day.

One gives Shadow Chaos Spear, another reskins Chaos Spear to be a GUN. There's even a third that gives Shadow his potty mouth from his game. So yes, it is possible to weild a gun in Sonic 1.

4:38 It is so nice to see people actually acknowledging Forever, Restored, and Absolute's existence. I feel as if people weren't and still don't give Team Forever and PimpUigi and their amazing stuff the attention they deserve and are always talking about the mobile ports or the decomps being the definitive versions of Sonic 1, 2, and CD and either don't talk about Forever, Absolute, and Restored or don't even know they exist. (Also, I don't know if you realize. But you're using an outdated version of Forever, and the newest update Isn't compatible with The Expansion Pack)

Random, but Ant Dude videos have such a good level of replayability you don't get on some channels. I'm probably gonna end up watching this ten times over the years.

Weird timing for AntDude to mention Sonic 1/2/CD decompilation projects and how it allowed the hacking community to port these games over to other consoles... Sonic Mania just got the same treatment fairly recently and was successfully ported over to multiple consoles too including the Wii U, PS Vita, and even the New 3DS.

When Antdude opens a video with the main theme of Pana Der Hejhog, you know you're in for a great watch.

The narration during the Snolf 3 & Knolf is top-notch. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Magnificent all-around.

It's been a while since I've played AIR, but by golly. It's fun running mods on that. My favorite mods by far are the ones that alters Knuckles's Mecha Sonic boss to say "I'll crush you" during the initial master emerald buff and changing the doomsday boss to the version Alvin Earthworm used in Super Mario Bros Z.

I can't get over the fact that a sonic CD might be an amazing way to create a knuckles game. Still fast and speedy but can slow down to explos that'd be perfect!

I love these video's Ant and I look forward to them each year. You have also made me and many others aware of SAGE and (not trying to promote myself) actually gave me the motivation to make my own fan game for next years SAGE. Keep up the good work Dude.

Great video! The Sonic hacking and modding community is always amazing! I find it nearly impossible to go back to the Genesis originals now. The level of customization for these classics is just mind-boggling! I look forward to seeing what they come up with next! I'd love to see them remake some of the old 8-bit Sonic Master System/Game Gear games like they did with Triple Trouble 16-Bit. The Master System and Game Gear games haven't aged the best, so it would be fun to have a better way to play them!

Fun Fact: Sonic 2 was originally gonna be the one with time travel however at the time they felt that it was too ambitious after only one game to implement this. Hill Top Zone is actually a past version of Emerald Hill Zone hence why they look like they are simply color swapped versions of each other.

This video probably has my favorite conclusion 😂 also hope everything goes well on your move!

I just rewatched those ROM Hacks videos last week, what a coincidence! Speaking of ROM Hacks, a few months ago there was a Paper Mario 64 hacking contest, saw them through another youtuber, and I feel they deserve a mention, since one of them managed to make an Overcooked-style mod that runs in the original console. It's the Peach cake baking intermission with replayability.

You did it, Ant.. You finally mentioned the Powerpuff Girls. You’ve officially opened the gates to a video covering (almost) all of the games the cartoon(s) spawned.

I know this is off topic but u might be happy to hear this they just announced Rayman in Mario+Rabbids sparks of hope.....

Crazy I used to watch you play Megaman in 2010 as a 12 year old. Still classic and holds up. Keep it up!

I’m watching this twice. Once to see Ant and another to get everysingle one of these mods.

Someone NEEDS to make a mod that makes it control like canvas curse
