Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I’m Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
Well, well, well.
We meet again.
First, go watch Galavant, because it’s awesome.
Second, you’re back!
Guess that means it’s time to scour the nets for more versions of the speedy blue
guy.
While I have you, if you’re new to the channel, first of all why are you starting with Part
5?
But also, if you like what you see, hit that subscribe button so you can see more.
Now let’s hop right into things: it’s time for the Top 10 Alternate Versions of
Sonic, Part 5!
Number 10: Jetset Sonic.
Jetset Sonic is a fanmade version of Sonic that combines our favourite speedster with
Beat, the protagonist of the Jet Set Radio series.
Don’t know Beat?
Well, do you play Overwatch?
Because Beat is basically a white Lucio.
Cool, now we’re on the same page.
Jetset Sonic, like Beat and Lucio, is on roller skates, has goggles, and grooves along to
some sweet tunes.
You can even get him as a skin mod in the new Smash Bros. Noice!
Number 9: Murder of me Sonic.
I actually had the Murder of Me Sonic in Part 4, but I only included the pre-transformation
version.
That version was more realistic than usual, and wasn’t even named Sonic.
But we soon see the real Sonic back, and looking all kinds of awesome with a wicked cape.
I don’t care what Edna says in the Incredibles, Sonic is rockin that cape.
The art style changes somewhat as the comic progresses and it’s really cool.
Definitely give it a shot!
Number 8: Solar Sonic.
Sonic the Hedgehog #71 saw a few different transformations out of Sonic.
He powered up to super sonic, and then to hyper sonic, which you guys will know from
the previous parts.
But he doesn’t stop there, because apparently Nate Morgan’s Super Emerald allowed him
to transform a few different ways to adapt to various environments.
His first transformation was Solar Sonic, which he turned into while running through
the Great Desert.
Sadly we don’t actually see much of these transformations since they’re just a one-off
for that comic, but who knows?
Maybe they’ll be back later.
Number 7: Polar Sonic.
Polar Sonic was the second transformation Sonic went through on his quest to save the
island from the energy beam that was turning time backwards.
While powered up in ultra sonic mode, Sonic ran through the Southern Tundra, and the cold
snowy environment caused him to change into a white hedgehog that was much better suited
for the cold climate.
Pretty nifty.
Number 6: Eco Sonic.
Same issue, different Sonic.
When Sonic was running through the Great Rainforest, he turned into Eco Sonic.
In this form, he turns all green with a red jacket, and apparently he can, like, run better
through the forest?
Maybe he gets some hidden plant ability?
They don’t really tell us much.
Let’s make something up!
As Eco Sonic, he gains the ability of Photosynthesis, allowing him to recharge his energy from the
sun.
There.
Done.
Number 5: Redhotsonic.
Here’s a bit of a weird one, but as we get further in the parts, I need to widen the
playing field of what’s considered “alternate versions”.
And hey, there’s a gaming YouTuber named RedHotSonic who plays, you guessed it, Sonic!
He’s an English guy who really knows his Sonic, and plays the games with commentary.
The channel’s great for new fans and old alike, and it features a bright red version
of Sonic.
Not Knuckles, Sonic.
It’s a cool channel, and he has a pretty nice accent.
Kinda reminds me of Danny Burke, if Danny’s voice wasn’t so deep and manly.
Number 4: Somari.
Somari is the protagonist of the 1994 game “Somari”.
No real surprise there.
But the weird thing is that in Somari, the main character seems to be a combination of
Sonic and Mario.
While he looks like Mario, he is playing a Sonic port, and he runs quickly just like
the guy he’s replacing in the game.
This might be more of an alternate version of Mario, but considering he’s in a Sonic
game AND his name has part of Sonic’s name in it, I think it counts.
And yes, it really really should have been called Somario, but it wasn’t up to me.
I’m sorry.
Number 3: Frenzy Sonic.
Here’s a transformation of Sonic’s that was first seen in Sonic colours.
When sonic uses the Purple Frenzy, he turns all purple and demonic and spooky.
This version is pretty sick, chowing down on bad dudes and even making himself bigger
the more he eats.
Then when he gets really big, he can even suck objects in.
Pretty cool.
Number 2: Sonic Pool.
Sonicpool is, well, a combination of Sonic and Deadpool.
Honestly, I’m not really sureu where this whole thing started, but I do know three things.
1: I love Sonic. 2: I love Deadpool.
And 3: I am rather fond of Jacksepticeye.
Sorry bud, I’m just not ready for the L word yet.
No matter how dreamy your eyes are.
As far as I can tell, Jacksepticeye originated this character, wearing a Deadpool mask with
Sonic spikes on it.
It looks pretty funny, plus I love Deadpool, plus I’m running out of damn ideas!
Jeez.
Number 1: Ghost of the Future Sonic.
Ghosts of the Future is a fan-made comic by EvanStanley, and it’s just beautiful.
It’s really neat to see the art style change and progress throughout the comics.
And of course, Sonic is looking pretty fierce, pretty similar to his usual look, but this
time, he’s got bling!
I haven’t read through the whole thing so I can’t speak to the story, but if it’s
anywhere near as good as the art, it’s definitely worth a look.
I know nothing about art so I can’t give an indepth critique, but like, I love the
colours, and the shapes, and like… did I mention the colours?
Seriously, I’m selling it short, Ghosts of the Future, check it out.
That’s it for today!
