By this logic, doesn't Adventure 2 have three opening cutscenes? Sonic breaking out of the helicopter, shredding through the streets of San Francisco, all on top of a chunk of said helicopter, hooked me into this franchise for life. And Chad Eggman busting into Iron Gate is the perfect introduction for his character.

Night time stages with the combat is very satisfying to play. The song is just overused.

Hey, just letting you know that Toei Animation didn't animate anything in the Sonic CD cutscenes, basically Studio Junio did everything and Toei gave them the budget, this was common for mayor studios to subcontract other smaller studios to help with their weekly animes

The original Sonic Colors opening will always be my favorite due to it being in a very special place in my heart. When i was younger this game dominated most of my life i remembered coming home from school and hopping on the wii to play it and I would never skip the intro cause it was that good. Every time i hear Reach For The Stars I start to tear up a little because of how much i miss those days man. I miss the wii and I miss a time when games were more passion than profit and i know things will never be the same. But I'm glad I got to experience those days man.

Every time I went back to the menu.

The imagery that the Sonic Heros theme song creates is S tier. Sure its lyrics might be nonsensical, but they still give off this energy, this feeling, like you're unstoppable. "What comes up must come down, yet my feet don't touch the ground. See the world spinning upside down, a mighty crash without a sound" There are so many lines just like this one that are so beautiful to me. I could make a whole analysis video on this song if I had the time and motivation to do so.

Great job on this vid, it is genuinely very well-edited and fun! 06's openings have always been my favorite. Silver's is ambient and melancholic, Shadow's is badass, and Sonic's is just pure HYPE. Never minded rewatching them as a kid when ever I game-overed lol.

If it’s one opening I remember by hard and it’s burned into my memory it’s sonic heroes that intro feels iconic to me😂

Ok, I know you said MOST of the openings, but you can’t just ignore the iconic opening cut-scene of Sonic 3, and how it quickly shows how much a beast knuckles is.

“I can see your every rage”, they can see why their target is angry. “Step aside ill turn the page”, they can help to change that, as long as their target lets them. “Like a laserbeam, my eyes on you”, like a laserbeam, their eyes are focused with pin-point accuracy on their target. As long as you think about it, the lyrics make sense

Unleashed and Shadow The Hedgehog are definitely my two favourite openings in any sonic game.

Personally, I consider Sonic Unleashed intro at the Super Sonic rank. It is, in my opinion, that good. I'm still glad it's in S rank, though.

Sonic unleashed does have an opening with music, but it’s just reused cutscenes and you have to sit on the title screen for a bit.

Your editing is insanely good dude. Also sonic colours does have one of the best sonic openings

Man what a video. I subbed for the effort alone! Looking for what you will do next

Sonic Unleashed is one of the best openings to a Sonic game. The main melody being subtle as the title is presented. The focus on Sonic and Eggmans rivalry. Super Sonic destroying giant ships. But you rank Sonic colors higher? Lol ya that bias is real All love

13:42 The "toniiiiiight" at the end of the song are just .. 🖐😉👌

While it isn't an opening cutscene, the Divergence prologue animation for Frontiers is amazing (2D) and should be recognized

You're one of those content creator that doesn't have much subs but has content that's as good as a channel with millions of subs

Nice video! This is all mostly peak fiction. New sub!

Just finished watching. Must say this list is completely spot on. SA1 intro to me still to this day is just perfection

omg neat video, always wanted to see someone else gush about these openings as much as I do Shadow the Hedgehog unironically deserved Super Sonic tier tho. Perfect song, perfect visuals, perfectly matches the tone of the game (as odd of a choice as that tone might be), and it actually manages to make the idea kinda hype for a bit, even if the aliens, military and the game itself just feel kinda off... plus the animation is top tier, specially by the time! (then again, that might all be my bias lol) Also wished TSR and Free Riders were there. I don't care much about the games themselves, but their opening cinematics actually match the definition of an opening much better than many of the mainline games, the songs are great, the animation is perfect and one of them even has Crush 40 on them! Thost are all nitpicks tho, other than that, perfect stuff

“Sonic games let you know what’s in store even if it’s false advertisement” How to summarize Sonic in a single sentence 101

I want to make a slight correction to the Sonic CD portion. The animated cutscenes of Sonic CD were done in totality by Studio Junio, who worked under Toei Animation. Toei the company themselves did no direct work as at the time.

Sonic 3d blast music honestly was more then expected for the genisis

Buen video amigo, adoro los openings de todos los juegos de Sonic, de los más recientes es el de Sonic Origins y Team Sonic Racing porque se ve espectacular y la música de Crush 40 es más que Increíble.😎

glad i'm not the only one who noticed Re-Colors on the Symphony Live was way better than the remaster version

While Sonic 3D Blast for Genesis’ opening is super dated and not the best, you have to admit that the fact they have a CGI cutscene on the SEGA Genesis is extremely crazy and revolutionary for the time and console.

Sonic unleashed has an intro as well as it''s opening cutscene, it's similar to black knight as in more of a trailer but with the unleashed in game visuals and endless possibilites blasting it's still really good.

Thats on me because I played the wii version growing up (which didn't have it) and even though I played the 360 version. I always just skipped to menu immediately to play the game.

Well hey, does the sonic prologue animation count? I’d put that in either A or S tier, really good animation and a good story.

I'm just happy that the Sonic CD intro ended up in the highest tear

Sonic unleashed in just S tier is a war crime and I’ll stand by it.

In my opinion Sonic CD's intro has You Can Do Anything be superior as an intro song, but by a small margin.

Colour's intro just slaps you for animation then punches you with the music 🎵 🎶 reach for the stars

Shadow the hedgehogs opening actually has an extended version, also you should have added the unused animated sonic chronicles opening.

@HonchoV1

The best thing about Sega all stars is that it features well, Sega All stars. From shenmue to virtua fighter, it truly feels like a celebration of Sega’s legacy. Not to mention its incredibly well edited and dynamic with its shots. And the best part, is that Sonic himself doesn't show up until the end, making it all the more special. S tier. Transformed is more of the same as All Stars (even copying Sonic boosting into Eggman at the end), and while it does showcase the new gimmick well. It's just a lot less exciting to me as an intro, but still good. A tier. Now TSR is held back a bit because it's all about Sonic this time, but Green light ride and being the best looking opening definitely keeps it up there with the first game, even having better editing/more exciting shots than transformed. S tier.

Sonic heroes has close place in my heart
