This game is so good and thought out, they even made a toggle to let you decide whether the purple shooting guy is named Nack or Fang. That is very much appreciated.

Thanks for playing my game! Glad you had fun! Several bugs in this video were fixed about a week before you uploaded but I know making videos like this takes time, it's all good. XD Hope to see yall again for my next game.

That final boss is something that I've always wanted to see: two characters in their super forms duking it out.

Sonic fans really know how to remake & remaster existing games, I respect that.

Your delivery and timing are comedic perfection.

Unpopular opinion: I really really REEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY want one of those fan game creators to remake Tails' Adventure. That game took as much potential as possible making a game highlighting Tails' strengths as a mechanic and genius with it's light metroidvania style and slower pace very different to Sonic. It's one of my favourite classic Sonic games but there's so much room for improvement. Item management and usage could be better being a prime example.

Those dark-looking emeralds weren't the negative energy, they were copies. This is alluded to in Egg Zeppelin Zone, where the screen says "Copy" over the dark emerald. And the fact Metal Sonic took 8 of them to become Rocket Metal was a nice touch. (In Fighters, there were 8 for some reason.)

The fact that Sega encourages this stuff keeps my hopes alive for more official fan projects backed by Sega and possibly one day Nintendo

Sonic Fallen Star and Triple Trouble Remake were a nice refreshing breath of air after the disappointment of Origins.

18:18 this was literally me on my first playthrough. i did this exact same thing and my time was at 6 minutes. there were no checkpoints in sight until conveniently right after that segment

If you told 13 year old me that this was Sonic 4, he'd believe you. Great classic Sonic game that I highly recommend checking out. Stands right up there with 2 and 3 in terms of sheer quality. Hope the extra characters get touched up a little in patches, particularly Fang cause some of his stages are just bugged at the start. Best fan game of the year probably. It's been a great year for classic Sonic fans all things considered.

Luckily for me I never played the original, so this felt and played like a brand new experience. I love this game. I’ve beaten it like 4 times already

I like how the elevator section in Atomic Destroyer is a clear reference to the elevator section in stage 2 of Shinobi III; great callback.

This game is arguably one of the best remakes I've played in a long while, and it hits every single button for me to make it one of Sonic's best. And with Fallen Star being released right next to it and Frontiers getting closer and closer to release with promise, this looks to be a great year for Sonic.

My first time on the channel, and god your comedic timing is phenominal. Really good video!

I really appreciate that it isn't just a prettier version of triple trouble and that there's a lot of new content

“Final trouble” has the same energy as “consider this your bad omen”

I've been watching these videos for some time. It makes me happy that despite all the anger, sadness, hate and regret the franchise may have upon itself, there are some people that actually take time to get to know, understand, enjoy, and love Sonic (My stance aligns with yours on Forces!).

Had a feeling this would be the next game you'd cover, lol. And yeah, it's genuinely an incredible experience. So much time and love went into making this game (I think about 5 or so years?), and it shows from the very first opening stage. The fact that fan games have begun reaching levels of polish and quality that rival even official game releases says so much about Sonic fans passion for the series. Bravo to everyone involved 👏🏽

I stopped gaming because i saw the notification. *Worth*

So Rocket Metal's second phase in Final Trouble is essentially Nightmare Power Orb's attack patterns from Kirby's Adventure. Shoots fireballs straight, shoots a spread shot of fireballs, shoots three lanes of bigger fireballs, does a screen-sweeping back-and-forth tackle to try and damage you... even the stage is the same, but inverted, as Sonic and Metal are descending to the ocean, but they don't take their final phase to the moon, and actually fight along the sunset of the sea.

As a Sonic 3 fan, Sonic Triple Trouble 16 Bit was a fucking love letter. I love Mania, but I would be so interested to see what these guys would've made if they were in charge of it. The level design is just..... so good.

insane how they turned the train boss into a whole level

Going on another marathon watch of your sonic videos while working is just perfectly calming- all the while getting chuckles here and there from your humor Love your vids man- I hope you keep at it cause you're one of my top favorite youtubers!

I only just found you a month ago but you are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels🔥🔥

i’ve been watching your videos for so damn long man and i can’t tell you how happy i am to see how much success you’re having, and i hope you’re enjoying creating content again!

In the original Triple Trouble on the Game Gear, the super peel-out gave you the same speed burst as the spindash. The difference was that you got like two seconds of the invincibility sparkles... It was honestly better to just spindash. That said, the input was Up+Jump which was identical to how you made Tails fly (not by pressing Jump in the air), so it felt cohesive given that both characters had an Up+Jump input. On another subject, I find it ironic that you enjoyed the icy area of this remake. That's great news, because the Game Gear's version was actually my *least* favorite zone. It had lots of lag-inducing elements, few places to move at full speed, and an uphill auto-scroller leading up to the boss...

I don’t say this lightly or often, but this is *literally* the perfect Sonic fan game since it captures the spirit of the classic series one to one. I also like how it was slightly retconned to be more of a direct sequel to 3 & Knuckles like how Sonic CD is a more direct sequel to Sonic 1. Honestly, the only thing that’s missing for me now in terms of content here is Amy, Mighty, and Ray as playable characters, especially since those three are being added into Sonic A.I.R. by modders and that Amy is being modded into Sonic CD Complete (Sort of), Sonic 1 Forever, and as a result probably Sonic 2 Absolute. Add in Mighty, Ray, Metal Sonic, and Fang/Nack into all those games as well and the whole main playable cast is done, which is crazy. But anyways, content addition wants aside, you could put this game on a SEGA Genesis cartridge and could convince so many people that this is a 100% official game without even questioning it. It’s *frightening* how accurate it is not to just the original Triple Trouble, but just the Genesis style of Sonic games in general. Easy second favorite game for me right behind SRB2 and SRB2Kart, which isn’t exactly fair to compare to since it has endless mod support, is built upon a DOOM engine, and has been around for literally decades, but hey that’s just the kind of wizardry that the classic Sonic community is willing to go to. Had they not existed then Triple Trouble 16 Bit would’ve been an easy number one. I’m really curious to see how Sonic Galactic and X-treme will turn out in the future, they look great so far as well. I hope they exceed all expectations, because *damn* us classic fans are eating the whole damn buffet here, and we just cannot stop…

As someone who has played the original Triple Trouble a good amount, I think the fan game is very excellent complementary piece. Not an outright replacement since I do actually think the original game has some qualities that outshine the fan game, but the fan game is doing its own things and does a good amount of it very well in its own right. Here's to seeing some more polish to it!

such an underrated channel dear god your line delivery is great and very entertaining, actually kinda inspirational in the way you make these videos :) i look forward to more content mr bickuribox

To be honest, playing Doomsday Zone and Final Trouble, I have to admit that the stakes were higher in Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

u never fail to entertain me. Im always just hoping that youll upload another video but also understand the time and effort u put into it and thats why it ends up coming out so perfect

I think this is easily the best Sonic fan game, it's absolutely fantastic. I don't even think it's that far from the quality of Sonic 3 and Mania.

Awesome review. Went pretty in-depth in a lot of aspects and with touches of humor too. Love it.

While Mania was cool, it moreso felt like a "Sonic's Greatest Hits" Album for the classic series. This really feels like the true sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and I couldn't be happier about it. Also its 10x better than Fallen Star fite me

your delivery is so much funny, wow. that was an enjoyable video to watch

5:48 Penguin fight = best

omg this video is so funny, your comedy is on point all throughout lmao 16:58 had me dying XD

Recently found you thanks to that Sonic P-06 Silver video and I got to say, I admire all of your work that I've been watching now!

i have never played any sonic game ever besides the one that was on that one site filled with like 60 something flash games all in one window that you click into, and i just appreciate the love you have for these games and the fact that you can talk so long and make a 30 minute video of just you spilling random thoughts. this is my favorite kind of content, even if i dont know what the absolute *hell* is going on. i just like people ramblin xD

I finished it last night, and as a fan of Triple Trouble, I think it's a great Sonic game. That boss music kicking in after Sonic gets slammed by the arm made me realize it was gonna be good.

There was something I always liked about Robotnik Winter. Even in the original, it was always one of the most fun levels I ever played. Plus, that name. Robotnik Winter. It's a futuristic mechanic frozen tundra. That and, you get to use snowboards at regular intervels.

I have actually never heard of this one. Looks really cool!

Babe wake up my new favorite KZfaqr just uploaded

For the scene before the credits I was also expecting a extra cutscene/cliffhanger.

I love how you show the glitches in good humor instead of bashing the game. Nice job. I ENJOYED the review.

Ive been waitin for you to make this video ever since you played fallen star, love your vids bro

This is my first video of yours an must say I'm impressed with it all. Pacing, and timing, comedy and when to use it, audio seems to have no glaring issues, and a good fair review. I'll be subscribing, checking out some other videos and waiting for new ones!

Wonderful analysis

This applies to all your sonic videos but I love your humour, passive aggressiveness and references

I just recently stumbled onto this channel due to a recommendation from a friend and it has been a blessing. These Sonic fan games are nuts. I particularly like the usage of the Sonic 3 version of the Sonic sprite. The Mania sprite is really jarring for me but S3&K is my favorite platformer of all time so I'm definitely biased. I'll definitely have to give this one a go.

i love your channel, you’re a breath of fresh air in this community. keep kickin butt

Nice video keep up the good work

Phenomenal reviews that really shine a light on more general, widespread platformer wonk. This game looks great

I really appriciate the Special Stages in this game.... I tried playing Fallen Star, and the Special Stages in that game kinda killed my interest. Since they were just.... Really weirdly hard from the get go. (I still need to eventually finish it.... I just don't feel like messing with those stages....) But, I feel like the thing that makes these ones SO MUCH more beginner friendly is the retry system. Like you said, it's perfect. It gives you a reason to collect 1-Ups in the stages. (Fallen Star could REALLY have used this system too.... I feel like that game needed it much MUCH more difficulty wise. And the special rings being harder to find as well.) But yeah, this fan game.... A few bugs aside, is very much on par with the classic games. Seriously, it's really fun overall to replay even. (I DO wish the free play mode had an option to just keep going... would kind of make up for Fang and Metal Sonic not having story modes if I could just play all their stages back to back smoothly.)

Top notch reviews holy smokes!

makes me appreciate the sonic.exe FNF stuff just bit more. Very good in depth review, i ended up watching to the end not knowing half the stuff your talking about.

As a massive fan of the original triple trouble, I think this game is awesome. My biggest problem with the game is that the pogo spring is only used once in the whole game, and it’s in the last 10 seconds of the secret zone.

"YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME." "I MUST BECOME EGG." The best things I ever heard.

that "WOAH KNUCKLES" sounded so genuine

Legends has it that Fang is still running...

I'm so stoked that you covered 5hus game!! The moment I finished it, I knew you would absolutely adore it.

I just played this fan remake, and as someone who played and loved the original game, and as someone who is just a Sonic nut in general…. This game is incredible. I’m amazed at how accurate the remake is to the original while also going absolutely nuts with new ideas. This is certainly a contender for one of my favorite 2D Sonic titles. It felt the same magic I felt when I played 3&k and Mania for the first time. And those two are my favorite Sonic games period… so yeah. I’m gonna give it some more time to cook, but I feel pretty safe in saying this is one of the best 2D Sonic games ever. My biggest complaint was how easy it was to get all the emeralds really early on. I appreciate not being able to go super until after you beat the final boss, but I found 1 Emerald in the first stage and then the rest in second. And I found about 15 more special rings by the end of the game (and it frustrates me that I couldn’t grab those for 50 rings which is one of my favorite things to do in 3&k and Mania). Other than that, my only complaints are just the glitches, but a simple patch could easily fix those up.

Legends say Fang is still going to this day

Between Triple Trouble and Sonic Xtreme for SEGA Saturn [that sick SAGE 2022 demo that can run on real hardware], Fang has gotten more love in a month than he has since like 1996 I DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE METAL SONIC'S FINAL FORMS WERE A REFERENCE TO THE SCRAPPED XTREME METAL DESIGN THAT'S SO COOL

I NEED TO SING THIS GAME'S PRAISES SOMEWHERE. This game is fantastic! The creator who made this should be really proud of himself for making something that battles the quality of Sega themselves. (I just finished my first playthrough with the good ending haven't delved into time attacking the game, knukles play through, fang the snipers and i haven't even found that extra stage yet so still a lot more to do.) It's time too replay this over and over.

You know it’s a good game when the only criticism is that the jump is late

This review was really fun, but I wanted to ask, have you ever played Sonic Time Twisted?

Ngl this is the funniest STT 16 Bit analysis

I laughed a lot while u made the video it was so funny watching it ur jokes fit just in the right moment lol 😂

You are my new favorite KZfaq guy

the true final boss fight reminded me of the kirby adventure nightmare fight and that made me realize that despite being one of the sickest way to fight,it's somehow not used that much,or at least from what i've seen

Hey, really good video. I really liked this remake, but I was worried video essays would be nothing but praise and refusing to get into the grittier details. I agree with a lot of your points here, and it's nice to see them formulated in a way I couldn't.

The bosses are references to the actual bosses from the OG Gamegear game. Great Turquoise had the giant Turtle. You used springs on the mini turtle bots and the air-spin move to hit it. Sunset Park had the train run. Locomotive was the boss like here. Meta Junglira had the snake. Its amazing they took the snake and made it themed into a snake temple. Robotnik Winter had the Giga Penguin that shot out penguin bots. Very similar here. Tidal Plant had you fighting Knuckles in a submarine. Was super easy to cheese as Tails, of course. Atomic Destroyer had Metal Sonic, a fake out with Nack/Fang, and then 4x phases of Robotnik. 1st was him on that pogo stick, then shooting fire, then shooting electrical balls, and finally the arena. This has been rather faithful. Triple Trouble also had you fight Nack at the end of most of the Special Stages. The Air Scooter also is quite faithful. You had the Pogostick, the Air Scooter flying about, the missile, and then the drill.

Not gonna lie, I love these videos so much I wanna see more reviewing other games. I highly recommend Olli Olli world if you want some sonic thrills.

Damn good review. Funny, too!

Nice to see the return of Bark,Fang, and Bean

25:23 I don't know if this is a refrence or not,but is it just me,or does that metal sonic drill attack remind me of how the Death Egg Robot (Sonic 2 Genesis/Megadrive)could launch it's hands when it lands back on the ground. It looks to me really similar. Anyway,Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bit is a great fangame and I enjoyed it a lot. It was Amazing and it looked visually outstanding for a fangame. Great video,by the way! Keep up the good work bickuribox12!!!👍 You are a 🌟⭐legend⭐🌟!!!

17:47 "So Pat Yourselves On The Back Noah And...... S. A. V. O. R. D. E. Z.-"

"i haven't played the original triple trouble" bro please do so, it's pretty fuckin good

I must say that I love ur jokes, they get me almost every time lol Like, u're in a serious topic and I'm following and out of nowhere u do it, and it's really on point I love it! Hahahahaha Also it complements ur point in a funny way, a good example is the Fang one (8:28) when u are explaining how sometimes Tails breaks the game cuz u weren't suppose to use him in a certain route, and u complement that with a example of u being ahead of Fang, that makes him ends up in two places at the same time, but the way u do it... u make a little joke about the situation, then choose to go silent when seeing two Fangs on the screen, then acting like u're moving on to the next topic just to immediately complement the joke later (8:45) lol It's too good, chef's kiss 👌🏼 U should be a comedian, I would literally watch ur show hahahaha

Metal Sonic's infamous ultimate attack for the final boss: the paint bubble from SpongeBob's Wet Painters episode

I liked how you mentioned the idea of a sonic only mode, because everywhere other than America, the game called Sonic and Tails 2

"Better than Ice Cap" is the kind of praise that speaks directly to my soul as a diehard S3&K lover.

the easter eggs are really cool too. If you're playing as knuckles and go the the outside of the airship and glide of then you eventually get to robotnick winter without finishing the level.

Thank you for the video.

I just wonder how fast this fan game could’ve been completed if it was a full professional dev team that got paid for their work…

A small detail I noticed is that in “Final Trouble”, Super Sonic’s dashing pose is a reference to an unused Super Sonic sprite from Knuckles Chaotix

they added an ending cutscene in a newer version

"You know, for someone named Fang the Sniper, you're kind of a lousy shot." *GREATEST. PUN. EVER.* 4:32

This was an awesome fan made game. Right UP there with Sonic Mania. Had a lot of fun with this one!.

I just played this and really enjoyed it.

22:40 - You, sir, are well cultured in the art of filmography.

quality content

0:15 I laughed out loud when you said that, LOL. Although in all seriousness, I completely agree with you. We need a sequel to Sonic Mania.

I'm about to try this out, but I can easily imagine that this will go extremely well with my collection of Sonic 1 Forever, CD Rebooted, 2 Absolute, and 3 A.I.R. and even Mania, and all while on the Steam Deck! All that's left now is for someone to make a decent quality launcher that seamlessly puts together all the games in one shortcut.

“You can retry special stages with an extra life. Finally, a system has been found.” Sonic Time Twisted who released way before TT 16 Bit: *Am I a joke to you?*

Honestly this looks like a prequel to Sonic Superstars. And it kind of feels like one.

Great video! This was very entertaining, and I loved hearing your opinions on this game! Did you read the prequel comic the devs released?

What a lovely fangame!!
