The Chaos Emeralds have been a huge part of the Sonic the Hedgehog series since the very beginning! But lately, it seems they have been taking a back seat to pretty much everything when it comes to the narrative in more recent games. Sonic Forces, and Sonic Lost World didn't include them in any meaningful way, making Sonic Generations the last mainline game to fully integrate them into its story. Some of my favorite games in series were heavily centered around the Chaos Emeralds, and with the widespread popularity of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Adventure 1 and Sonic Adventure 2. We have to ask ourselves, is this move away from the Chaos Emeralds the cause of the slip in quality storytelling? And do they need to make a return in Sonic Rangers to help restore the series to its former glory? Well? Let's talk about it!

I mean if Dragon Ball is able to consistently bring back their mystical orbs of power, I don’t see why SEGA can’t bring back Sonic’s mystical gemstones. Especially with the fact that they’ve been used very well to describe lore and abilities characters can perform. Let’s just hope Sonic rangers includes them in its story and gameplay. Return of Hyper Sonic and the ability to use each emerald separately please?

@smb85dkc94 While shrinking the Master Emerald would have been a great way to allow Knuckles to travel while still guarding it, it also makes the whole idea of the shrine and keeping Angel Island airborne redundant. Where did you see mentioned that it is now permanently in the ocean and not floating?

I definitely agree with the mystery part. I think their unpredictable and well chaotic (lol) behavior makes them very interesting. Like you said, take that mystery away and that limits what you can do. I really hope they bring them back to the story. They don’t have to be in every game’s story (I think them just being absent for spin offs is best), but going 10 years without them is wayyyyyyy too long

Man Sonic's Lore was so cool to follow, i remember always making my sets of emeralds with clay or paper craft It baffles me that they completely ignored them in Forces, the world is a war zone it must have been a hunt for the emeralds against the Eggman Empire (i still somewhat enjoy Forces btw) But the situation depends, i'm fine with their absence in Colors and Lost World since their plots don't require them

I really loved this video. Since I am a huge Dragon Ball fan, all the Sonic games where the story had the Chaos Emeralds involved reminds me of the Dragon Ball arcs (especially 06 being so similiar to Future Trunks' saga). That is why I think these stories are so epic and enjoyable. I wish they brought them back 😕

Watching this video over a year later, post the release of Frontiers, I think you were absolutely right about the emeralds-- and I think that Ian Flynn threaded that needle as gracefully as anyone could have. We know more about the Chaos Emeralds now, but... we don't know everything. Where did they come from originally, why did they react to the Master Emerald, there's still so much we don't know, and I think that was handled really well in the game's story. And certainly they were excellent coupons to keep the plot moving, and bring Super Sonic into a spotlight he doesn't usually enjoy, being relegated to an end-game mechanic as he usually is.

"Chaos is power that cannot be taken or given away. It will only come to those who truly recognise it within themselves. Let's go home, Froggy." Big The Cat Sonic and Tails R episode 10 It's like the Emeralds have become like Excalibur, in Black Knight, once used to achieve great feats only have been forgotten about and thought only to be a legend. Its funny how they can be a thing in the comics and the Sonic and Tails R radio drama, but yet they haven't really meant anything since Unleashed and that was 12 years ago! So I think they're long overdue to return to the games, much like other things that have been absent like additional playable characters and a sense of self respect for itself as it's not afraid to drop the jokes take itself seriously. Also while they were a thing in Generations I'd hardly say that they were that important due to the fact that game was more focused on being a greatest hits through time and space rather than actually trying to tell a worthwhile story. To put things into perspective, the cutscenes from Sonic's story in SA1 alone run longer than Generations' story!

We got Shadow the Hedgehog because of the fans. We got Colors because of the fans. We got 4 because of the fans. We got Mania because of the fans. We got Forces because of the fans. You can think whatever you want about the games I just mentioned, but they are undeniable proof that they _do_ listen. The _actual problem_ is, and always has been, execution. Generations and Mania are the only ones that are universally praised, while everything else is head-bashingly polarizing. Might be hard to believe, but during the 2000s, many people didn't like many of the aspects that are currently praised, looked back on fondly and, frankly, in certain instances, pretty romanticized. Eggman summoning an eldritch abomination to take over the world? People were tired of those. Darker/more serious plots? People laughed at those. Basically any character besides Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and _possibly_ Shadow? People _hated_ those. For all intents and purposes, Sonic Colors was a game made specifically to please the fans. And now look at it. Only used to bash the writing by bring up _one_ bad joke that was only used 3-4 times across 10 years. It's all gone full circle. The people who grew up during the 2000s have become everything the thing that they hate the most: obnoxious, nostalgia-obsessed elitists who are willing to completely ignore anything good that came from an era just because it's not the thing that they want. I'm not trying to say that the games from the 2010s shouldn't/cannot be criticized. They absolutely should be. The bad characterization of certain characters, the plots being simple in the _worst_ possible way, the gameplay not really improving since Generations, and many other valid criticisms can be aimed at them. But their flaws should not excuse any of the flaws of the 2000s or the 90s games. No era is better than the other, and they're all just as flawed, though in different ways. Don't get me wrong, I'd _love_ to see the Emeralds be the main focus again. I'd _love_ for the stories to be more serious. --Hell, despite how botched it was, Forces was a step in the right direction imo-- I'd absolutely _LOVE_ for other characters to be playable and be developed more. But here's the problem: All of those elements mean _nothing_ without the proper execution. SEGA/Sonic Team doesn't necessarily _need_ to appeal to any fans of any era. They just need to do good with what they have.

I personally believe the Chaos and Master Emeralds are all linked to Light and Dark Gaia to explain why they can be restored by the Gaia Temples. Maybe they even brought the Emeralds to Sonic's homeward in the first place. Either way, hoping to see more of the Chaos and Master Emeralds again in the future.

The red chaos emerald is shaped like a square which gives the power of creation, The orange chaos emerald is shaped like an icosahedron which gives the power of illusion, The yellow chaos emerald is shaped like a rhombus which gives the power of subjection, The green chaos emerald is shaped like a decagon which gives the power of protection, The teal chaos emerald is shaped like a plumbob from the Sims games which gives the power of adoration, The cyan chaos emerald is shaped like a 5 pointed star which gives the power of passion, The blue chaos emerald is shaped like a diamond which gives the power of determination, The purple chaos emerald is shaped like a triangle which gives the power of exaltation, The pink chaos emerald is shaped like a heart which gives the power of jubilation, The magenta chaos emerald is shaped like a rupee from Legend of Zelda which gives the power of perfection, The brown chaos emerald is shaped like a hexagon which gives the power of derision, The gold chaos emerald is shaped like a Christian Cross which gives the power of pretension, The white chaos emerald is shaped like a sphere which resembles a soccer ball which gives the power of teleportation, The gray chaos emerald is shaped like an octagon which gives the power of multiplication, The black chaos emerald is shaped like a comet which gives the power of destruction.

I feel like the chaos emeralds don’t have to be mandatory in every game but there needs to be a valid reason for them not being in the game. The chaos emeralds are such game changing items that they need to be explained why they’re present or not present, ya know. For something like Forces, I feel like the chaos emeralds were needed because it was stated that sonic and shadow were struggling against infinite and he can create all these strong clones. So it makes sense why the chaos emeralds would be needed for that, but just making sonic beat infinite in a rematch just because the plot demands just shows that the chaos emeralds were kinda need there. That’s just my thoughts.

I believe it lore it was said the Master Emerald was created by the gods to control the Chaos Emeralds. Someone created the Emerald Alter and put those stones there and there must have been some inhabitant before the Chao who must have guarded it as they were the ones who created the alter. I mean based on what we've seen, there is no way that the Chao created the emerald shrine and Chaos (a mutated Chao) existed after the alter was built.

i thi that there is some thing that every one need to understand regarding the chaos emeralds and i'm going to talk about it in this comment any way , when it comes to chaos emeralds , we all know that they first appeared in sonic 1 and despit other power sources being revealed like time stones and chaos rings , but chaos emeralds had been most used of all power sources by eggman and other characters , how ever , to this day no one knows where did they come from or who made them , and even if that was revealed , these emeralds do NOT belong to any one or any body especially when considering how insanely strong they are to destroy an entire planet or even piercing a star as mentioned by black doom to shadow , they only belong to their creator , and sonic did the right thing to use them for good when ever some one else use them for evil , but there is one situation i think it was a mistake to use them by sonic in sonic unleashed , sonic use chaos emeralds to fight against doctor eggman to stop him from ruling over earth , but problem with that is that sonic had no right to use them since no one tried to use them and neither eggman even had the emeralds , and it shows what happened when some one is over reliant on thier power rather than fighting with his own strengh , which giving a chance for a bad guy to use them like how eggman did to shatter the planet to pieces , have sonic asked his freinds for help and fought with them to stop eggman from doing his evil schemes , like in idw comics when he asked amy to gather every one to fight to get back angle island , things would have been much better and they could have a chance to win and yes i know that sonic unleashed was like a last ditch effort to sonic team to keep the franchise alive that they have to just have sonic alone to have better focus on game play , but that do not mean that it was a right thing from sonic in that story to straight up us e chaos emeralds rather than his own strengh along with his freinds help , these emeralds must stay out of any one's reach for the better , due to how dangerous they are in wrong hands , and they should only be used to face against some one who already who used them for evil scheme which in my openion is how they should be included in games story wise , also thank you for this video

I've always felt meh about the Emeralds, the same way I feel about Super Sonic. Personally, I'm just not the biggest fan of blatant references to other media (as opposed to more nuanced ones) in some forms of media. Maybe I'm just salty, I dunno. But like how I never cared about the Master Chief in Halo until the fourth game, I personally get tired of mystery. I am a lore whore (lol I gotta remember that!), I wanna know ALL the things! If the origins of the Emeralds is made known, I might find a reason to feel connected to them. Cuz who made them and why has always been in the back of my mind and I get reminded of it pretty much every time I see them. Like, were their creators good or bad? Or neutral? It just feels creepy knowing that Sonic characters seem to use them carelessly without ever knowing their full potential. What did the creators intend them for when they made gems capable of actualizing thoughts? If Sonic weren't around, then theoretically, they could fall into the wrong hands... I dunno, they just seem like carrots on a stick that deserve to be locked up and forgotten about. See why I desperately need answers? 😂 This is the kind of stuff that'll keep you awake at night!

Oh come on. Even I know those 3 answers didn't create the Chaos Emeralds. Chaos is a chao mutated by the Master Emerald so... duh. Solaris is a sun god that had a fragment corrupted and built back together in some form. Mephiles and Iblis wouldn't need to look for the Emeralds if they could just make their own. (I mean I guess Mephiles did kinda sorta make an Emerald for one scene but it didn't go anywhere and seemed like he was trying to copy the emeralds) Dark Gaia is a beast that breaks the planet apart. Light Gaia puts it back together. This is a natural cycle. Light Gaia also has powers to merely use the emeralds with structures created to wield the power. Meaning someone else made it and he's using them. Officially, it was started "the gods" made the emeralds to turn thoughts into power, but because they were being weaponized, they then made the Master Emerald to counter balance them because of all the fighting. We don't even know the relationship between the Chao and the Chaos Emeralds other than the Chao being named after them. So maybe some kind of Chao God. Unlike Chaos, an ACTUAL Chao God. But it's always been a mystery and should always be a mystery. Except in Sonic Movie 2 which seems to revolve around the Master Emerald. Without spoiling anything, it's different. And even then we're not sure we know the truth.

There series was legitimately inspired by The Dragon Ball franchise. After the second installment, Akira was actually flattered, but asked Naoto and Yuji to modify Sonic's transformation state. This is the reason why the only game that featured Sonic with green eyes was in Sonic 2 and in addition was then after called Hyper Sonic, but Super Sonic stuck with us because of Sonic 2. As for the chaos emeralds, they have a pretty interesting back story, because the first adventure was the main goal aside freeing the enslaved population of Mobius. It was said that then named Robotnick had discovered one of the emeralds and examined it, finding that it was no ordinary emerald and recalled a legend of the emeralds that he thought was just a fairy tail. So he set out to hunt them down. This is the reason why there was only 6 to collect and they reason why Sonic seemed like he was jolted and stunned when the collected power of them combined attempted to grant him with the ultimate power, but fell short because of the one missing...The one Robotnic still had in his possession. The "Try Again" scene was indeed a mock. When you failed and asked to continue, that was a scene where he, Robotnick kept hunting them down and succeed. Those emeralds will return. There is still a cliffhanger with Sonic X where that hedgehog (Nazo) who showed up briefly in the intro of Sonic X, but was never given purpose in the series, furthermore, officially never seen from again up to this date. I can just only suggest that the emeralds will once again be used in a sequel to Sonic X.

I'm surprised you didn't talk on how they're used in the Sonic Rush games. There's some interesting details that they go into that aren't said anywhere else in the series.

i disagree sonic forces was a good game saying only the games with only the chaos emeralds are good is basically saying I hate everything else not every game needs to have the emeralds and the sol emeralds blaze has are a separate thing entirely unconnected I think the origins off the emeralds could be a good thing to show and maybe the actual original chaos emeralds got warped over time into the shape you see in the sonic games I know nobody will ever read this though

Well, while I can’t answer for “People”. I can say that for this video, we’re talking about mainline games that do/don’t use the Chaos emeralds as part of their narrative. And as a guess for “people”, I’m thinking maybe not everyone thinks Black Knight is on par with Unleashed/SA1/SA2. But on a personal level. I think being a Wii exclusive hurt Black Knight because it meant less people got to play it.

4:28 Also there's no such a thing as "the negative power of the Chaos Emeralds". This is a big misunderstanding created by the American localization of Sonic Adventure. The Chaos Emeralds have one single power, which can be used in different ways.
