thats like reverse clickbait, i came for the unused shield and gained so much more

The fact they're are two different versions of the three final shields makes me think there were plans of an upgrade system. Perhaps, the more rings you have, the better your shield will be.

2:24 Most fans theorized that the sneeze move is for detecting enemies or oncoming danger. The evidence for this is in the Opening of CD, where, right before the mountain collapses on Sonic, he sneezes for a split second, like a "Spider-Sense" of sorts. This could have been a way to stop players from constantly running into obstacles that they couldn't see.

The Sonic Sneezing sprite animation is from a lost/forgotten concept of Sonic sneezing whenever there is danger essentially a Sonic Sense. The ability is shown in the Sonic CD Opening where Sonic Sneezes before avoiding falling rocks. I believe presumably the sprite animation was to be used before a Boss appeared.

2:18 Fun fact, Sonic once had a special ability in Japan where he would sneeze if there was incoming danger. You can see it in CD’s intro right before the rocks start falling towards Sonic. So that’s probably what the sneeze animation was for.

I wonder if a Sonic fangame will ever implement most of these scrapped shields? It's interesting how some of the scrapped shields resemble shields that were added to Sonic Time Twisted.

4:50 false: the walljump was used in the final game - "Knuckles' Chaotix" - by the character "Mighty The Armadillo." Future titles such as Sonic Colors, Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Generations (to name a few) allowed for Sonic to walljump or walljump in certain segments depending on the title.

4:39 That’s actually wrong, as it’s featured in almost every Sonic game with a boost. Side note, if anyone’s wondering where this move is used in Knuckles Chaotix. That’s Mighty’s special ability.

Oh hey, overdelivery? Certainly a nice surprise to get more than the title promises, definitely a good move. Really nice video, didn't know about most of these, glad to have some light shed on them

2:22 I think this sneezing animation would've been used before a boss, because Sonic has this really obscure abilities where if danger is nearby, he sneezes.

2:22 It is often theorised that this sneezing animation was going to be used if you touched the golden powder the moth badniks drop down on you in collision chaos.

That prototype mole Knuckles would be perfect for sonicteam to reuse later as a new character. Maybe call him something similar like "Fists" , "Wrists" or "Palm" (they sound weird but remember that our favourite red echidna is literally called "Knuckles" which would of sounded strange at his introduction; we just got used to it :D

Mentioning Knuckles' ability to dig and his circle spinning arms but not Sonic Underground is insane. Nice video though

That heavy shield might have been useful for the infamous Carnival night Act 2 barrel...

This just goes to show that can really learn some new things about your favorite things every day.!.!

I feel like the Magnet Shield could've definitely been a thing, due to the fact that your literally able to stick to metal in Sonic Mania with the Lightning Shield.

2:24 one of sonic's original forgotten abilities was him sneezing whenever danger approached, so this animation would probably be used before a boss fight

2:21 I believe it's stated in some VERY old media that Sonic has a kind of third sense where he'll sneeze when there's incoming danger. You can see this in the opening cinematic of Sonic CD, where he sneezes right before the chain holding Little Planet breaks the rock spire and sends boulders hurtling down at him.

This could be implemented in some kind of fangame! Here are my ideas for the existing shields, that could be unlocked via collecting an artifact (Chaos Emerald, Time Stone or whatever you want it to be): 🔥 Add a damaging fireball that revolves the player at max running speed or higher; 💧 Add increased underwater "handling", Tails' underwater stamina and Knuckles' swimming speed; ⚡ Add a radial attack and make it unable to deflect projectiles during its cooldown time. Here are my ideas for "all-new" shields, with some features you could limit the same way as the former ones: 🕊 *Feather Shield* (Wheel + Wing): Enhances running and Knuckles' gliding acceleration, jumping and Tails' airborne stamina, instantly launches the player in Spin Dash and Super Peel Out and grants brief invincibility for Sonic while performing the latter; 🌀 *Gravity Shield* (Magnet + Heavy + Break): Removes running acceleration (spinning gets unaltered) and decreases max speed (slightly less for Knuckles, due to his strength), but allows navigation on walls and ceiling, as well as ring attraction; ♻ *Recycling Shield* (Enemy + Block): As the player makes progress through the game, it can store three kinds of junk: destroyed Badnik parts, rubble (from breakable walls and crumbling platforms) and "non-energy-based" projectiles. The player can consume junk to use as a platform and stack it (keeping the last material used) or as a slow homing projectile that doesn't pass through walls. Each kind of junk stored count as an extra hit point for the shield; ⭕ *Ring Shield* (Ring + Combi-Ring + Unused ability): Generates one ring every five seconds and allows the player to shoot two rings in opposite directions at a cost of one. They pass through walls and can collect other rings. Upon losing the shield, it turns into an upgraded version of Combi-ring, as lost 2-10 rings are grouped in one Combi-ring, and lost greater amount of rings turn into a single bouncing Combi-Catcher-like figure of the player character.

Before watching, I remember reading about different elemental shields that were intended to be in X-treme. It didn't say what each shield did, only that there was a rock paper scissors system. I imagined what they'd all do as a part of interpreting X-treme for my AU. I imagine Metal Shield would basically be the Black Shield, Wind Shield would allow Tiara to glide, Rock Shield would effectively be Power Stomp, and Fire Shield in 3D would be the Homing Attack.

The block shield ended up appearing in Jazz Jackrabbit as a diamond shield that gains a diamond each time you break the monitor, and will damage enemies that collide with you.

2:24 apparently an old ability Sonic had was to sneeze whenever he was in danger so some speculate he'd do this during a boss intro

3:15 assume it was a balance thing. Give all characters the same moveset in multiplayer

sonic 3 shield concept art, my beloved

4:50 mighty the armadillo in that very game… Sonic unleashed, generations, forces, colours And sonic is allergic to danger in some early iterations of him as seen in the sonic cd opening cutscene he actually sneezes

I feel like a nice shield idea would be the Wind Shield, where it would give a more slower fall to the player and, specific to Sonic 3's Angel Island Act 2, prevent you from dying from the smoke (since I'm not sure how Sonic wouldn't be timed in that stage to make it to the exit before he passes out from inhaling all that smoke)

2:17 = There's the concept Sonic sneezes always when a danger is approaching, working as Spider-Man's spider-sense. In Sonic CD's ooening animation, Sonic stops his run to sneeze when the boulders are about to fall off over Sonic.

4:48 they used this ability for mighty in chaotix

Mirror shield sounds real handy. It's not like the final boss(es) use projectiles anyway. Sounds useful for certain cases.

3:42 Digging gloves eh? How concidental that the Sonic Adventure games adapted this ablity with the Shovel Claws allowing Knuckles to dig to find Emerald Shards.

0:40 very vague, can't tell it's worse or better than standard fire shield 0:57 this one would be interesting, but I'd rather merge it with bubble shield 1:02 great shield idea ngl 1:07 feels like a slightly upgraded version of the classic shield from s1 & s2 1:12 eh just electric but downgraded 1:19 actually interesting tbh, despite just being part of hyper sonic's moveset 1:25 this one is great too, I'd imagine if hyper tails got one of those, there'd be more flickies 1:32 actual health system in a classic sonic game??? Hella useful 1:44 good one 1:49 nice one as well 1:55 it's useful like the block shield 2:00 hella useful too, sonic games having momentum generally is troublesome 2:07 great one 2:20 according to certain cutscenes, this would show up if a fast enemy is nearby

Actually Mighty could wall jump in Knuckle's Chaotic and Sonic could do it in Unleashed.

How about the grass elemental shield?

Good video

THIS ONE IS IN SONIC ROBO BLAST 2 1:59 ITS THE FORCE SHIELD

I need to know those gan games shown off in this video now.

i like this video but only like the first minute and a half is about the elemental shields

The question is, does anyone want to create a mod for ubused shielded on sonic 3 air?

Hey in sonic time twisted there is tornado shield rock sheild andice spike with that will freeze enemies

What is the background gameplay from where they have the rock sheild ?

4:50 That false. The wall jump is a technique that has appeared in every Sonic game since 2006's infamous Sonic 06

What is the fangame that was playing in the background

did you use the sonic time twisted sonic in the thumbanail

you sound like someone from a certain (terraria) channel

I think you Make terrarium videos.I think you're the youtuber terraria slime

I'm not gonna lie you sound like sonic and it threw me off at first
