Can't help but wonder if the Egg Emperor'll also be in there.

@@steveluvscows2490 maybe, Shadow did fight it so there’s a chance

And the upcoming one will have that AND perfect Chaos in the same game!

@@UltraSTH something I noticed: Space colony ark, kingdom valley, and rail canyon are not exclusive to shadow levels. So there is a CHANCE some levels originally playable by both shadow and sonic can both show up. So here's my take: and it's only hopes for the game. Maybe there's some levels playable by both modern sonic and shadow, and both have unique ways to complete the level exclusive to each one.

​@TheHammerGuy94 If that's the case, I wonder if the rival and boss battles can be done with the other hedgehog as well, so say that we want to fight Silver as Shadow, or fight the Biolizard as Sonic in Shadow's story.

Yeah. We're gonna have to buy the game again. Hopefully, they'll do a great job with the Shadow content.

@@ArtFenixAsordis This seems like a beta for that idea, just took 13 years lol

Before: "Get out! Your ugly prototype!" Now that's character development folks

I thank KZfaq for this perfect recommendation.

I'm here 🙌

Not me!

Me

I agree. Strange that one of the music tracks from Shadow was exactly the same as the original one. Or it's just me...

@@ArtFenixAsordis hey at least the lyrics are more audible. I'm sure they learned that a long time ago when they remixed "supporting me" for forces.

@@TheHammerGuy94 no, that one was a remix. I'm talking about another one. The Ark.

I'm pretty sure they removed the anti-gravity phase, and they nerfed the purple energy blasts in the first phase by only having them on the ground

Agreed, instead they used the audio from the Dark Gaia Phoenix boss fight.

Fun fact: the Biolizard uses the roar of perfect chaos along with a heavily edited version of Sonic and Shadow’s JP VAs screaming (the perfect chaos roar is the one used during gameplay while the latter is the one used when the biolizard uses chaos control). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLKqlqiXq8CXeZc.html

Imo, I prefer the Biolizard having new sound effects. I hated seeing Perfect Chaos' roar get reused for 2 consecutive bosses afterwards. (Biolizard and Devil Doom)

Devil Doom was just lazy, but the Biolizard having Perfect Chaos's roar was intentional, I think. Prof. Gerald based a lot of his research on the Mystic Ruins stuff, including Chaos.

Haha, right!

ikagura yeah

ikagura That orange liquid's insta-kill!?

Izuki 101 probably in the river

Honestly in my opinion that takes away the difficulty. Bad camera is the one to blame.

I need to see more!

2D?

@@atomskreborn5740Models and presentation aside he was only able to actually move Sonic left and right, so yes. 2D.

Always made sense in that regard

Yeah its come to the fact sega use roars from previos enemy (sorry if spelling is bad)

Jorge Pedro Jallo yup agreed it’s actually that

Bro i cant.find my sonic unleashed for ps2 so now im sad

That's actually kinda wrong. Considering the Biolizard was based upon the murals on Angel Island, the ones depicting Chaos, why would it ever resemble a being not ever depicted on Angel Island? I mean, stuff like this happens all the time, I know, like Roxas in Kingdom Hearts 2 HD using some of Ventus's voice clips despite the fact that him using a different character's voice clips kind of underlies the point of his character. I know, just nitpicking, but changes like this are a sign of directors not understanding some of the original details...probably, I dunno.

@@Densester I doubt a simple change in a roar is any measurement of lesser understanding by the developers of this game.

Piss river...Hahaha! :D That's a good one!

I was replaying adventure 2 last night and I fought Biolizard there myself and I may have some potential answers that I could grasp at as to why the original might make you feel a little more scared. 1. A2 is usually played on a home console compared to a 3DS which can much more efficiently put into perspective how gigantic the Biolizard is as an enemy. It can honestly be a little intimidating once you remember the size difference as a result. 2. The fight in A2 is a LOT less linear compared to this one so the attacks feel way more realistic, as does the general movement in that fight compared to this one. When you have to dodge the attacks while being uncertain of how to find yourself a safe zone while only moving, it can honestly be pretty stressful and it doesn't help that the camera is not fixed like in the generations fight which also pans very close to the BIolizard and really induces a sense of urgency and constant movement. Also, you have the boost in generations to do it for you while you only have your momentum in A2 which can backfire easily. 3. The Biolizard in general is a fuck ton less robotic of a character in A2 and has actual structure to him that the player is going to recognize during the fight. He's compared as the ultimate lifeform's prototype and it really shows there. The stakes are high and you just came back from Cannon's Core which you might have game overed on once or twice so the stress is still sort of there. Now you're fighting this fucking menace who I'd also like to mention has a lot more of a personality in A2 and honest to god terrifying roars which don't really have much impact in this game since the Biolizard has no substance and is just a homage. He feels more real in A2 which I'm sure was the general intention and that might explain why you feel more scared when fighting him in A2 as well (I lowkey feel the same way because out of all sonic bosses, the Biolizard is easily one of the most intense and pressuring to fight in the entire series).

The music is also a whole lot more clear than the original

​@@mischiefwaluigi0446 Not to mention how you're playing as Sonic, he's going to be a lot more casual and less serious.

the boss as a whole is less dark and creepy, the old boss was much darker literally, and the sounds the old boss made were much more emotional, also the remix of the song is more intense and less unsettling

The original fight is really hard and the instant death is almost a jump scare when you hit that river not to mention those balls coming out of his mouth or very unsettling

Yeah I’m so excited

I thought it was the console version that was getting remastered?

@@davidglynn7341 it is the console one but the biolizard is returning as a boss in shadows story

and it's implied that it was modeled after Perfect Chaos as a large reptilian creature that harnesses massive amounts of Chaos Energy and that it mutated from an ordinary lizard. unfortunately, it couldn't handle all that Chaos Energy which caused its impractical mutation. meanwhile, Shadow the Hedgehog was modeled after Super Sonic from the Hidden Palace mural; a mobian that's smaller, more compact, and has a healthy body that can harness the full power of the seven chaos emeralds with no ill side effects (mainly due to his heroic nature harnessing the positive side of the emeralds). just like in Adventure 1, the Mobian Hedgehog beat the giant reptile. Black Doom's knowledge of Bio-Engineering and donating his blood to Shadow's creation didn't hurt either.

I actually enjoyed 3DS Generations more than standard Generations. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi!)) Strange that they reused one track from Shadow the hedgehog but the rest were new versions. Maybe that one's a placeholder?..

@@ArtFenixAsordisthat could be a jukebox song or something

@@UltraSTH hope there's a proper new version. Wouldn't want them do a lazy job.

@@ArtFenixAsordis oh absolutely, that song deserves a remix

Hi! I hope it a placeholder too. Lazy job to just reuse old tracks, even if they're awesome.

It's in the original too, but it's more audible here

Yes but is phase 1

In a way , I mean I'm no longer 13 I'm now 18 so it doesn't bother me as much as it use to.

@@Friendly_Neighborhood_Qrock I was like 7 or 8 when I played this game

@@abstractassassin8767 daUm . . Imma die first in life bro see you in heaven lol

And? Sonic was still there just wasn't in the fight

@@entermatestar9116 agreed

You think they are going to reuse the music from the 3rd version

@@reelix9318 I Hope they do another remix

Fun fact, they remixed it

Yes, same thing for Chaos. It's cool that he appeared in Sonic Forces, but... let's face it, he wasn't treated with the respect he deserved

@@guaxinimminixuang1279 I guess?? Other way he is pretty cool

THe Biolizzard burnt up as it fell entering the Earth's atmosphere. And before anyone says "Shadow survived" he was only brought back because he's popular.

@@jeremyknight9980 I see but I also noticed that he might be in Sonic Underground

@@mercenarymaster6937 How? Sonic Underground was made before Adventure 2 and it only lasted 11 months.

Because Shadow is not playable in this game YET

Makes sense considering he in an unfinished prototype

​@@YuudaiGHI think he had them in SA2 but I like your take

@@exr_879 he doesn't have them in the original game either

It's alright for a 3DS game.

Yeah... Kinda want a new Rush game and a 3D one for once

Rush games were the last actually great 2D portable exclusive original Sonic titles.

Technically? Well Colors DS is still playing differently than Rush/Rush A (aside from the boost) I would also say that this is kinda sad that we couldn't play as Blaze again (Classic Sonic in Generation DS played almost like Modern Sonic) I want Sega to make good spinoffs (with the Sol Dimension story) instead of making mediocre dumbed down versions of their mainline games

@@ikagura Believe me, this was far from being a Rush boss.

Sonic X Shadow Generations it's a remaster, no a remake

It’s actually the dark gaia phoenix roar from sonic unleashed

It has to do with with its mythical origin. Its original roar made sense from that perspective.

Yeah, it took me a few tries too but in the end I didn't think it was too hard if you were careful enough. But even though I only got A rank, I said: "Screw it!, A is good enough for me!"

On a related note, can you do all the bosses without damage?

I'll probably give it a try. :) One step at a time though, don't have much time for many videos and since Speed Battle vids are so popular, I focus on them for the time being.

No rush needed. Take your time.

@@spongebobfan78 doesn't citra lag like crazy. .

too*

True. You can still speed run it though

Couldn’t you mod this fight into sonic generations for console?

I liked my own comment

Well how would you feel with it being in Sonic X shadow generations

There was a sliver rival battle in the 3ds version but it took place in Tropical Resort instead of crisis city. Doesn’t really make much sense but neither does racing metal sonic in casino night. I guess the 3ds devs didn’t really have time or resources to develop unique locations for the rival races.

Mostly because it’s 2D

Many reasons 1. Its 2D so you don't have to worry about your Z-axis for the main fight 2. It's a midgame boss instead of the penultimate boss 3. You have a proper crouch instead of somersaults 4. The floating orbs have simplified to all heal because its 2D and you have a homing reticle 4.5. The floating around orbs are simplier for the same reason 5. You have the boost meaning there's no way for Biolizard to catch up

@@patrickmcgregor5168 you also have the ability to boost into the electric orbs to destroy them

The only thing that will make me get a Switch in all honesty.

Yeah, it's not perfect but pretty close.

Sonic Forces you to understand that joke makes no sense! 1. This is Generations 2. "Sonic Forces you to" only works with Sonic Forces 3. Forces didn't have a Biolizard fight just Supporting Me Remix 4. Woosh// someone doesn't matter when their points are on cue 5. Stop being Nostalgia Blind

exactly. Sonic never fought Biolizard

Should've been chaos 6 or egg golem instead

​@@DEVINdDAVISOr big foot from adventure 2 again

Worse on 3DS? You do remember the original's unrendered mouth right? Hell, the outside was nearly a pitch black shadow, while the interior had no shadows at all, because that makes sense.

Literally everything was shoehorned in you plonk. The fans chose everything.

Understandable have a nice day

Well the big arms boss is even more pathetic so...yeah these 3DS bosses suck ass.

The only one i thought was really good was that boss that was in the same gate as silver. I forgot its name but that boss was okay compared to big arms and biolizard

It is also important to take into account that in Sonic Adventure 2 you are not facing the final boss, but the penultimate one and this ends up making the fight much more actionless when compared to the battle between Sonic and Perfect Chaos in the other version

>Man they really butchered the impact this boss had back in SA2 wow really? who would've guessed that a game built around re-visiting stuff doesn't leave the same impact as the original which had a story built around the certain element???!1!1!!1! >The biolizard itself is nowhere near as unsettling yes, because: 1. this is sonic fighting it, not shadow (sonic isn't related to the biolizard at all.) 2. this is a mid-game boss in gens 3ds. >They way it moves is nowhere near as burdened and deliberate this is a mid-game boss in gens 3ds. not a semi-final boss. >the soundtracks nolonger synced to the first roar and damage phase it wasn't synced in SA2 either (aside from the intro, which this game does.) >And that's ignoring the sound track being highly compressed in this remix me when listening to 3DS audio via my high definition speakers and noticing the compression (if you seriously think this is a problem, then you have bigger issues lmao.)
