The main themes being gibberish is actually a common thing in musical production, just to get a feel for the rhythm before you actually write lyrics. That would make this sonic heroes rendition a VERY early one

Yep Audio is also one of the last things Developers worry about during game development. So stuff like this was Used to give Developers some placeholder music so they can plan for stuff like Cutscene music music cues etc.

8:47 I had no idea Espio was even singing, let alone that he was trying this hard🤣 I always thought he was just stoically going along with his bros' shenanigans, but this makes it SO much better

The ruff draft of the main theme is essentially what the song sounds like to non English speakers.

As the self-proclaimed #1 Sonic Heroes fan and the creator of the Sonic Heroes Iceberg Chart, I thank you for your services. There were things here that not even I knew about, despite researching Sonic Heroes for over 2 years now. From the Purple and Blue Unidus Variants, to the Christmas Level, to the Swing Pole Object, to the Egg Hermit Crab and Egg Sea Anemone, to finally knowing what Green Thunder and the Prototype Alligator look like. Sonic Heroes really is the gift that keeps on giving.

8:46 BRO THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS ESPIOS LINE IN THE TEAM ULTIMATE STOP GASLIGHTING ME 🤣

As someone who loves the character interactions in the game, it's quite a shame that some voice lines and concepts ended up being scrapped. This game deserves a remake.

the invisible line is for metal overlord when he uses chaos control to disappar. This is a different use from the time stop he would use. This is a rare move you often beat him before seeing him use it

I'm pretty sure the "unused" texture for the Last Story in the story select is just the texture that appears when you try to select the last story without having all emeralds.

You are correct. That grayed out Neo Metal Sonic texture/render appears in game if you select the Last Story without having all seven of the Chaos Emeralds.

Tails scratching his ass made my year

9:28 Espio said the thing! 😱

in the game Shadow the Hedgehog if you wait around 8 minutes in the final boss,Eggman reveals that Shadow is not other than the SA2 Shadow. One of Eggman's robot saved him from dying. He just copied him and made several robots-clones after hence why he was in a capsule in the opening of Heroes.

Don't know if it's just me but the unfiltered Metal voice sounds more scary 🤣

33:40 What I can theorize is that they originally wanted the zones to be more similar too each other (Like potentially having the same name with act numbers: Seaside Hill Act 1 & 2), before deciding to give the two levels more distinct identities. Sea Gate is clearly based on Seaside Hill from the way it sounds.

thank you for another great video!! especially appreciate you pointing out the part about rouge’s wink and maekawa’s tweet about it. it’s something that really disappointed me when i first learned about it, so i hope more people can imagine that part actually playing out in the cutscene… also man i will never get over how we almost got a christmas-themed level. to think what could have been… but if having it meant iizuka would’ve actually died from overwork then i’m glad it was scrapped 😭

originally, i wrote a little comment about how glad I was that such a video had appeared, but its not enough i guess, so I want to write a little more. because when i was a kid this was my first game on pc. And after a while I couldn't believe that this game was so empty and had no hidden content or if someone finds something intersting it was a pretty poor quality, but ur vid changed everything and i finally got what I always wanted to see, thanks a lot!!

Videos this long and good are why I still come to KZread

the game of my childhood. i absolutely loved watching this video. it's crazy, how much cut content could be restored/found!

I like how in the early gamepay, when knuckles jumps it is a combination of all 3 of them in a singular big ball, instead of seperated like in the final. Also the animations are different and ot seemed knuckles fist was going to be a projectile. Super neat! I really wish they kept the voice lines as they add a lot of character and would make the jouney more fun and engaging to the player. I really like the check-point pickup lines as they leave a lot of room open for imagination -- like Sonic got kidnapped but defeated the robot and found a different route to the checkpoint. Hopefully someone mods these unique differences in!

The Team Rose beta goal rings are also in the final game, but most people overlook that.

Such an underrated channel, I love all of these bonus vids Edit: 56:41 this interaction between sonic and eggman is funny af

These videos are always perfect for me to fall asleep too, then i rewatch them through the day while playing video games too. I love them

its a better day when Cifesk been a fan for a while now and im lovin the uploads keep it up man! road to 5k!!

These videos are so good. They’ve been very entertaining to listen to while I grind the Chao garden for 180 emblems. I hope you keeping making them, man.

This was a chonky boy! Thank you for documenting all this

I really enjoyed your take on Sonic Adventure's cut content. Really enjoyed watching this one as well! 😇

Just realized this video came out on my birthday. Fitting for what was the first Sonic game I ever played. I still love Heroes to this day, warts and all, so seeing all this prototype info in one video is nice.

*Bro, you never disappoints with these videos.* Let's freaking go 🙌

this video is really special. this whole channel is actually, long form sonic content gives me life.

This is a good video and I am excited about the 06 remastered video

It's so odd to me that the PS2 version has lower resolution textures while the GameCube version has the Xbox's high resolution textures. Also they all have different water with the GameCube water looking more pleasing while the Xbox water looks similar but technically more advanced looking due to the Xbox's extra horse power and relatively insane combined memory.

Incredible, simply, INCREDIBLE!

The early Battle: City Area music sounds like Splatoon 3 lobby music lol

1:40:59 Seems like even the devs hated charmy XD

This might as well be a feature length movie. You never disappoint 👌

26:04 These look a lot like the platforms on Soace Colony arc or the ones Eggman and Tails stands on in an elevator sequence.

you can actually hit the frogs in the final which makes them leave early. it's possible that the animation for the frog was to accompany this originally.

1:44:09 Wait, this was the most well known one? I thought it was the first two or three you mentioned earlier that were the most famous. I never see anyone talk about this glitch in comparison, tbh. I completely forgot it even existed, lol.

I honestly kinda like Rouge’s outfit from the concept render

1:24:26 I wish they kept this as a hidden feature for the final build. As we haven’t seen D-bug mode since the Genesis games at the time.

The early City battle theme sounds like the beginning of Papu Papu's CB theme

I'm only 20 minutes in and loving this so far. I was 10 when this game came out, and even being a huge Sonic fan by that point (Played through the MegaDrive and Dreamcast games), this game was the first time I truly began to feel awkward as a sonic fan. Yeah, some of the Dreamcast dialogue was a bit weird, BUT THIS. The constant talking and stupid writing choices ("Look at all those Eggman's robots") felt cringe-inducing and it was the first of many times I actually felt embarrassed playing Sonic games in front of family or friends. I love the Sonic games, but this game was the first time that it was obviously aimed for kids and that I was growing up. I remember the first time playing this though. My parents had divorced and I spent weekends with my dad. He rented the game from Blockbuster that weekend for me. I spent the whole weekend playing it. By Sunday evening, I burst into tears, realising I'd wasted the entire weekend when I was meant to be spending it with my dad. He passed away March of 2022. He was the reason why I became and still am a Sonic fan to this day.

In regards to the bobsled control lines: I don’t think the order characters were thrown off was random, I think it was originally meant to be Speed > Flight > Power because: A.) That’s the general order characters are referred to in just about every other circumstance. B.) The power character contributes the least to the bobseld controls, so having them being thrown off resulting in the loss of a life would give them a stronger presence. “Lose speed” > “Lose movement option” > “Lose life” feels like a much more natural progression of penalties than “Lose speed” > “Lose nothing” > “Lose life” As for why it was changed? Think about how you’ll take 99% of damage on the bobsled. *Most* hazards in bobsled sections require you jump over them. If you lost your ability to jump, it would just become a waiting game as you approach the next obstacle. Switching flight and power around makes the bobseld infinitely less unfair in that regard.

56:42 The Tekken effect.

I never pray sonic heroes, but I heard about it and it’s pretty good but it’s kind of is between what we could’ve got for sonic adventure three but I don’t think it’s the sonic adventure three LS white Sega would actually make sonic adventure three with high-quality graphics and stuff which is probably what they’re planning on doing it some fix point

As someone who greatly enjoys Sonic content, I like this. Keep up the good work.
