In my opinion, I think 06 feels far too disconnected from the previous games to be an Adventure 3. Adventure 2 acknowledged the first game, and Heroes and especially Shadow the Hedgehog acknowledged the Adventure games' events. The closest 06 does as continuity is having G.U.N and Omega present So while it is true that gameplay wise 06 might be closer to Adventure 3, continuity wise I don't agree

47:20 I found this way funnier than I should have. “The slip of the tongue…”

Just so you know, the main reasons of why Sonic Heroes is such a rushed game are some truly serious ones. I know what those reasons are because some KZreadr explained them in one of the videos that he made for his channel. 1. The Playstation company had set up a deadline and told Sega that if they couldn't make a PS2 port of Heroes before that deadline, then those 2 gaming companies would no longer be allowed to have any connections (they would no longer be allowed to make any Playstation console ports of any future games that would be developed by Sonic Team). 2. At a certain time during developement the head of Sonic Team (Takashi Isuka) was forced to complete that game all by himself and the stress of that almost killed him! Good that that dude managed to survive that amount of stress.

Well there's your problem right there, Sonic Heroes isn't an Adventure game. Remove that and you remove the flaws.

Good video I really loved it keep the good work up

I see heroes as SA3 story wise, especially because there is a little bit of foreshadowing whenever you see metal sonic on the egg carrier, hinting to what’s happening next.

Glad to see an increase in fair criticism from people nowadays have for sonic compared to before. I regard the adventure series as some of the best in the series but that does not mean its perfect in all regards. Lots of people forget that perspectives on games are subjective, so its always interesting to see what others think without being disrespectful or hateful like most of the sonic community when you don't like a Sonic game.

both 06 and heroes could be considered to technicly be part of the adventure gameplay era. just like how frontiers has some semplence of that gameplay style too. the free roaming and such. i guess in that case you can dismiss heroes as adventure 3 and replace it with either 06 or frontiers since u can actually free roam in those games lol.

3:49 Still better than the generations 3DS version

Cool video! But I’m still wondering… When’s the Sonic Advance 3 review?

I wasn't expecting a Doug Walker cameo, but I will say it's pretty cool, albeit remaining blissfully ignorant to forcing himself to continue making new episodes of Nostalgia Critic due to people loving the original show despite him originally wanting it to end after his magnum opus The Show Must Go On, which eventually led to series stagnation, but eh, I think he's a pretty cool guy.

If metal is just better Rock, why does Rock beat Scissors?

You are correct that Heroes is SA3 cuz it’s the third adventure formula game they made. In the same way that Colors is “Sonic Boost 2”

your videos are very cool and i like sonic games too and my most favourite sonic games are sonic colors ultimate, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Heroes and Sonic 3.

1:14:50 IIRC Eggman saw the extra emerald on a radar. So, when he said to Tails "Because you told me, fox boy", he was actually just fucking with him. And that's just so much more hilarious. Seriously, what's more plausible, Eggman randomly guessing that Tails maybe came up with a plan as crazy as creating a weaker copy of an infinitely powerful artifact (without having seen it done firsthand), or him just planting some extra cameras and shit where he operates and seeing directly that something's sus? Tails was just a dumbass when he asked that question

@trynnicus

tails just confirmed which one was the fake one, so eggman wasn't fucking with him. It was a greater possibility that the one sonic had was the fake, but eggman couldn't assume and eject sonic until confirmed since the stakes were high in that cutscene

Metal Sonic is still an amazing villain and a complex character

In the words the Great Clement (ClementJ64) Sonic 06 is more closely a Sonic Adventure 3. "There are different storylines where characters interact in the same levels. In fact, they battle each other. Sonic will fight Silver, Silver will fight Sonic. Sonic will fight Knuckles, Knuckles will fight Sonic, ya know. You play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, a Purple cat, and a Robot. Dr. Eggman's plan involves unleashing an elemental monster he discovered through ancient tablets to destroy the world. This elemental monster has green eyes and totally devastates a city. Chaos makes Station Square a water world. Iblis makes Soleanna a fire world. Our heroes encounter a black hedgehog who is trying to destroy the world. Sonic snowboards in Ice cap. He snowboards in White Acropolis. Sonic gets chased by a whale in Emerald Coast. Sonic gets chased by a whale in Wave Ocean. The Egg Carrier appears in both Sonic Adventure and Sonic 06. There's even a shot where Amy Rose sees the Egg Carrier fly overhead in both games. You go into a hub world, where you communicate with the people of the town to get a little more insight into what's going on. Just like Station Square, and this time it's Soleanna." kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJx9rqtsodiqepc.htmlsi=mPPia3o5YFdZpjCT&t=1305 Dude knows what's going on. To be fair, I enjoyed both Sonic Heroes and Sonic 06 when I first played them. It wasn't until I sat down and thought about them that I realized just how much was off and wrong about them. I would still go back to Heroes, and if I was recording for content, I might do 06 again, but overall, I would prefer to move on to other games.

The egg emperor is so easy, focus on leveling up tails and just hit him, he will get stun locked and die after a while. Funniest part is that i didn't look it up, i figured it out on my own when i played it lol

Most of the story issues come from bad localization. Playing these games with the retranslated mods is an entirely different experience.

Hmm..🤔 well since Heroes is in a sense a soft-reboot/sequel because it was the first multi-platform game and they didn't want to call it SA3 to make new players have to play the first 2 to understand the story but it's still a follow-up with a simplistic story so you can look at it as SA2.5/Shadow would be SA2.8 and 06 as SA2.9 or consider it SA3 but until they actually call the game "Sonic Adventure 3" that's the closest we'll get 😂 I just think they're teasing and using it as a last resort if sonic is about to hit rock bottom because they have to find a way to make it better than anything before and make it perfect since there's a number in the title and ppl been asking for years now.

It's incredible to see Sonic fans in their natural habit doing what they do best. Heroes is the third game that came out after 1 and 2. If you just count, putting them all together is practically harmless. Hell, all 3 are connected. Yet someway, the only thing they care about other than anything in the actual video. Is the game that doesn't exist with a title that's practically meaningless. Sega just puts titles on these games. The title hasn't really matter since S3K. It's just for branding. "Colours. Generations. Adventure" It's a name nobody in Sega cares about. Like. The guy isn't a rep for Sega. He's just talking about a trio of games he likes. They are intentionally related and work better together in conversation than appart. Yet they still feel the need to call him out like he's spreading misinformation. Misinformation on a game that will _never exist_ about a title that doesn't matter or add to the conversation about the game itself

Everything is flawed

Just because a game is canon in a series doesn't make it "x numbered" installment. Sonic Heroes is irrefutably not "SA3". Being similar mechanically also does not automatically make it the super official sequel, for those that try to use reused formulas and canonicity together to form the immature argument of a game being "x numbered sequel". And yes this IS a big deal because this is an argument against people who are... blatantly going out of their way.... to call and refer to the game as something it's officially not even calling itself. The title change was done for a reason, respect it [Heroes, etc]. I kinda of have a contention with the title of the video too. Every single video game is flawed. Sonic is nowhere remotely near the only one. The best rated video games in all of history (including in the Mario, Metroid, Megaman, CoD, etc series) are and will continue to be flawed. If someone wants to foolishly challenge that idea in literally anyway, be it claiming x game has none or y game has virtually none, there will always be a sizeable group of people who can point out the flaws you overlooked or purposely ignored. So the point being these type of titles are utterly outdated and come across condescending (for lack of e better word), working off this faulty ideology that series like Sonic Adventure are flawed whereas say comparable Super Mario games are not. You could put literally ANY game in that title: _Super Mario 64/Pokemon Gold/Uncharted 2/Oocarina of Time/Breath of the Wild/etc is flawed (and that's okay)"_ . It's simply by definition a stupid premise. The insanely better and more accurate title would be something like "Sonic Adventure isn't as great/amazing as other games {which in terms of the game themselves I disagree with personally} (and that's okay)".

You're wrong. Heroes is not SA3. Sonic 06 was technically SA3. The game literally has the same gameplay style as adventure.🤦

Lol. "You're wrong about something that's completely subjective because I am an intellectual that knows more about Sonic video games than you do" bro. If people want to classify Heroes as part of the adventure style, there's merit to it.

I am not big into Sonic. I don't dislike it, but I wouldn't call myself a fan either. I'm firmly in the camp of people that sometimes watch Sonic retrospectives and laugh at "haha Sonic bad" banter. But I ADORED Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. My brother brought it home one day and it ended up being one of my most played Gamecube games right beside Fire Emblem and Pokemon Colosseum/XD. I was awful at platforming and even worse at fast platforming, so I didn't care for the Sonic gameplay, but I spent SO much time farming ressources just to raise my Chao. I spent dozens of hours looking up stuff and writing about Chao on online boards. I was obsessed with them, much like I'm still obsessed with anything monstertaming/raising related. I even tried getting good enough to unlock the Tiny Chao Garden permanently in Sonic Advance 2 (the one other Sonic game I had). But I fell off the Sonic train the moment Chao weren't there anymore. I can't shake the feeling that's exactly the reason why there is no Chao Garden anymore and also why there's barely any playable characters beyond Sonic anymore. These "side modes" probably take a TON of time to potentially draw in an audience that would only stick around for as long as a significant portion of ressources goes into these side modes. I'd love to return to raising Chao and I've seriously contemplated getting SA2(B) on Steam just for that, but I don't see it ever coming back.
