Thank you so much to everyone who has watched, liked and commented. I didn't think so many people would see this it really means alot also for the many of you asking sonic 3 a.i.r is a fanmade remaster of sonic 3 and they have made it avalible on mobile devices

Origins is like taking all the mobile ports and locking the phone onto a sonic and knuckles cartridge

The intro was the perfect definition of the whole game

I love to play as Coins the Currency. He’s my favorite character.

19:08 FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!! It's such a huge killer for replayability and the lack of an easy 'game opts' button like Mania also means I have to have the sound test codes memorized for NO REASON AT ALL! amazing video, so thorough

You can skip 90% of Sonic & Knuckles by jumping into the ring at the start of Mushroom Hill, pausing the game when the screen whites out and selecting Restart. Game gets confused and throws you to Hidden Palace

“RINGS IS WHAT SONIC IS KNOWN FOR.” Speed: “well guess I’m useless.”

They've actually updated Origins, so all the Knuckles Chaotix has been labeled correctly

16:17 The Carnival night music is timed with Sonic hitting the ice cap snowboard wall and reaching the ground which is kinda funny

I like the way that "Coins" is an anogram of "Sonic" - was that quicker than removing the icon🤣

I still feel the Micheal Jackson issue is just a little bullshit. He was employed by Sega to make the tracks, all this could've been avoided by a better written contract. Also I would've loved to see something worthwhile for collecting the coins like cosmetics for the characters. Perhaps the ability to use different Sonic sprites like S3&K Sonic in CD or other games.

The ending of Sonic CD and the removal of the voices of sonic isn’t the developers fault. It’s Sega’s fault. Sega purposefully sabatoged it.

Apparently Sonic's plane comes from his father... Who we never get to see, ever...

The canonical reason for Tails not being in CD was because he went to a plane convention, I think that has alot more charm to it than Sonic just not meeting him yet.

It took me 11 years to realize that "Sonic" is an anagramm of "Coins". I'm not sure how I feel about this.

8:18 yes, yes it does. Some games are already challenging without the lives system, but it feels wrong getting rid of lives for games that were literally built with that in mind to motivate you to play better

I really liked sonic's classic voice, I can understand not being able to get the original voice actor - but nothings stopping them from re-casting like they have many times with sonic. I think this one really fit though, and they had absolutely no right stripping sonic away from his voice in cd (don't think they added it in classic mode either, probably due to sega.)

The complaint of having to get all the emeralds on a single run in Origins is kinda moot when you consider the fact that Origins lets you retry the special stages upon failing. So unless you're an ultra purist, you don't need to go back to the stages to attempt the emerald again. Sure, you need Coins, but it's not like it's hard to rack up a decent amount of those.

When they refered to new playable characters, i expected Mighty and Ray tbh

Good video. I like how you didn't defend SEGA for their bizarre and somewhat predatory decisions, and gave them credit for the things they did right. Often with videos about Sonic, people tend to be too extreme. It is either the "worse game ever" or "fans need to stop complaining". As for me, I will be waiting for at least a 50% discount on Steam. The current price, especially where I live, is way too expensive for a collection of games I played dozens of times already. I was hoping the pricing would be more reasonable like with the Mega Man, Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero Collections, but SEGA (and Bandai Namco with the Klonoa Collection) decided to go the opposite way with their price tags.

High quality, underrated youtuber.

I find it hilarious that Sega went through all of the effort to replace the MJ songs, but forgot to take Brad Buxer out of the credits.

14:58 As for Stealth, he said was SEGA made major modifications to his work, some due to how Origins was, some not

I think Amy had a big role in the final cutscene because she was going to be playable, but we all know Sega’s greedy and rushed the games so they could profit. Heck, she might have even had her own story mode in CD like Knuckles had in 3&K!

ok the first scene where you tape sonic 1,2,CD & 3 together is downright funny

13:04 Sonic: im outta here! Song: yayyyy

I saw someone say "Tails is playable in SCU let's gooooo" Poor them.

Totally loved this video. The humour, the special effects, and of course the in-depth look into Origins and its options. Top notch!

21:25 Now I know why Knuckles wasn't added to the game.

Man, you’ve really grown as a channel. I remember back in the day when you asked me to do a green screen fight scene for you in Super Mario 64 LMFAOO. Good job, kiddo. I’m really proud of you 💯

I was waiting for the jump at the end and it was more perfect than I could have possibly imagined

So there was an update that fixed the following: -Tails doesn’t get stuck in Sonic 2 anymore -New cheats (for Sonic 3&K Sound Test -Other stuff I can’t remember

And yet, people bought it in droves. Either we're doing something wrong or Sega is doing something horribly, horribly right

I LOVED that finale

That “NOO-” at the end made me laugh I was just expecting the video to end

They should've remade these games in the animation style of the menus IMO. We already have Megadrive Sonic games on the Nintendo online.

Love this video, well organized and was really nice to watch. Keep up the great work!

that avgn reference was perfect 😂😂

"Got to visit the beautiful good futures" proceeds to show a bad future💀

12:09 Doc/original Devs: That's How time traveling Works Marty/Kids You telling me you made a horrible remaster, OnTop of A Masterpiece?!?!

Thankfully as of the day this uploaded, the Tails bug is fixed and the blue sphere music speeds up properly.

Fun Fact: Sonic's name is Coins scrambled up

Not gonna like you are one of the best channels to watch when you are just looking to learn something and you’re funny while you’re doing

23:52 This is me realizing that sonic 3 a.i.r. exists

I really like your passion for the Sonic series. The green screen segments were great. I hope your channel continues to grow!!

9:34 Sonic CD was not intended as a sequel, its chronological position was never clear until the release of Sonic 4. With the release of Sonic 4, Sonic CD was placed between 3&K and Sonic 4 (Although now they changed it and it is between Sonic 1 and 2).

You, complain about coins? Oh wait, you're a Sonic fan of course.

OK I wasn't expecting an AVGN reference, it make me laugh ngl.

16:24 Alright time for the biggest one, one of the other collaborators (Bobby Brooks), seems to have been the lone guy that caused the music for the 3 zones (also Competition Menu and S3 Ending, the latter of which is used in the Best Ending only) to be replaced with the new tracks

20:20 avgn moment and I'm happy for it

Thanks for making this video all that time ago. If you hadn’t I would’ve had no idea 3 A.I.R. Was available on mobile.

lmfao you sold me on that beginning, absolutely hilarious

7:21 got me rolling on the floor

For changing Ice Cap music they WON'T be forgiven. Never.

Omgg!! "What where they thinking?!?!" I love that the reference went so far as to dress up as the nerd

I love the intro, it is so accurate and funny at the same time.

17:38 tails u good

I seriously got a Sonic Origins Ad 🗿

17:00 me too me too bro 😢

Perfect title, I couldn’t off said it any better myself to be honest. Good video!

24:03 Me If Big Man Loses The Splatfest

7:27 "Also, coin. Coins and Sonic. *_Mario_** coin sound plays twice while some are shown on screen* _COINS!!!"_

Tysm for showing how you can switch the sonic CD music. You’re a game saver.

About the Sonic CD ending cutscenes, the speed in Origins its the real speed that its supposed to play, It was the 1996 PC port which slowed the ending down to fit most of the song in it

The intro felt like an episode of Gumball

to the people in the comments trying to defend Origins' downsides, shortcomings and detrimental bugs, i present to you a concept: a game that is what it says it is in advertising and description, works as intended, and doesn't inconvenience the player through developer error, poor decision-making or game/content pricing. it's a bit of a fantastical concept, i know, but just imagine it for a second.

The back to the future reference got me

This is an amazingly detailed review, Kudos!

Coins the hedgehog sounds like a good name for a sonic oc

If head cannon actually was able to finish sonic 3 & Knuckles we could’ve got an option between animated remaster of the sonic 3 and knuckles cutscenes and the originals. Edit : idk actually care if they did that or not cause the originals are still master pieces

Origins Plus was announced, Amy is Playable, and that’s about it besides a bunch of smaller games being included, (Sonic Triple Trouble, Mean Bean Machine, Tail’s Adventure, etc). Sadly no Chaotix, neither the game nor as playable characters.

That ending bit of the video was pretty good. I like how ya had yourself green screened into what looks like Sonic 2s ending with the music. Still a great ending to a great game.

That was the best outro I've ever seen.

Would of been a day one buy if they made physicals. Something tells me SEGA didn’t so they can pull the games off the online market at some point to make another collection in the future

this is a good review. it hits on many good points. as someone that doesnt have as much time to game as I used to i appreciate the unlimited lives change. but agree it should be optional.

The ending made me laugh

The Coins system is a must when you want to do those goddam awful Sonic CD Special Stages…

Great vid that outlines the good and the bad of this game. As a fellow Aussie I can’t justify the price for this game considering the many little issues. I’ll consider it for maybe 20-30 dollars.

What an amazing video. As a relative new fan of Sonic, I don’t feel that much of a pain for the changes since I can just play these games on modern consoles like this and call it a day. I still don’t know if there’s hope for another update since they re-branded to Origins Plus (the version I got) but yeah, definitely a great video

After watching multiple videos on your channel, I really like how well edited your videos are and the sense of humor in them. I really applaud you on that, and hope your channel continues to grow! I've subscribed to see what future content this channel will bring. As for the content of this video itself, I remember people all jumping for joy when this game was announced because Sonic 3 was coming back and swearing that Carnival Night, Ice Cap, and Launch Base music would come back. Man what a punch to the gut, but I guess I get why. I personally wonder why they didn't work it out so that you had the option to get the original music if you bought the DLC (at the time that whacky flow chart came out saying the thing had "additional music", that's what I thought they meant). I was very disappointed when the game came out, and my preorder of the deluxe edition had a bunch of mislabled music instead of the original Sonic 3 tracks. Though personally I like the beta version of Launch Base more than the Jackson version (Ice Cap and Carnival Night from the beta are meh at best, especially Ice Cap). It's also amazing how lazily ported the Sonic 1, 2, and CD games are, I've resorted to playing ports of the mobile versions that exist from reverse engineering projects (As I actually own all the Android versions anyways). What a time to live in.

I'm actually so pissed that they had the nerve to de-list it off of Steam. All I can really do now is play them on an emulator (if you want, use ClassicBoy Pro) since my high school has restricted computer games.

The complaint about the coins counter seems like a nitpick. It's still in the same style. Anyway, the game is JUST like Super Mario 3D All-Stars, in that a game is missing! Knuckles Chaotix! There's not even a rerelease for that, as far as I know.

Wow this is a really well pit together vid

"I never ran out of lives but the challenge of the game has been removed by their omission."

9:26 *"SCREW YOU, LABYRINTH ZONE!"*

I think I would consider getting the game if Amy was actually playable. (Was gonna say Amy is underrated, but is she really with fans at this point? I know she used to be called annoying back then, but I see a lot more appreciation for her character these days. Not just the Boom version either. I mean her original character back in the adventure games up to unleashed)

I hate to be that guy but in this game you do have consequences when you die, you get set back to the last checkpoint and the level resets to how it was when you hit the checkpoint, but in family guy back to the multiverse where when you die enemies don’t respawn, stages don’t reset, and in the boss fights, the bosses health doesn’t even reset, when you get to the final boss, it throws everything at you

The intro is hilarious and it's a great video👍

I’m surprised you didn’t go over the weird physics, especially in 3&K. There’s some stuff that isn’t even accessible that was before. Specifically that one big ring in Hydrocity

Awkward that this video was released a day after some of the bugs were already fixed in a patch lol

Excellent video I agree with every single thing you mentioned!

The fact the Sonic 3 credits theme is gone is the most depressing thing ever

“Screw you Labyrinth Zone” If you ever play Sonic 2, wait until you get to Metropolis Zone

9:40 "Ive had people telling me for years it takes place after sonic 3K" me who says it's after sonic 2 ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Sonic: "I'm outta here 😐" Background: "YEAHHHH! 😄"

Moders do what seg don't to got me dying on the floor.

In classic mode the only special stage i failed was the 7th so just to unlock it in both the & origins time i have to play through about half of the game (asuming i don't fail any special stages) again just to unlock this 1 special stage in both time attacks

This game is perfect for me,sonic 3 prototype music is great just everything is.

Even dispite of all the negativity that this game now has gained even with the whole music situation with Sonic 3 and Knuckles but even inspite of that I'd still consider owing this compilation

10:25 Ohohohohoho nooooooooooooooooo Maybe in your corner of the internet people think that, but definitely not in mine. US Soundtrack is a bop
