Top 10 Sonic Cut Scenes While the Sonic 3D games may not have the
most persistence track record, one thing can be sure; the majority of the cut scenes in
those games are pretty fantastic, from creating strong character moments to wowing players
with epic graphics.
And sometimes, there’s even a good ol sprinkle of humour in there, too.
So with that in mind, lets count down our picks for the top 10 sonic cut scenes.
10 Shadow Kicks Silver While Sonic 06 has a whole lot wrong with
it – a phrase that I feel like I say often these days on this channel – the game does
contain a cut scene that’s oh so satisfying to watch.
After Shadow meets Silver the time travelling hedgehog for the first time, the two fight.
And then this happens.
Ah yes, I feel like a lot of people felt like they wanted to kick Silver in the head.
9 Sonic 06 Intro Another silver lining to Sonic 06 was that
the graphics in their cut scenes were actually pretty great.
Including the opening cut scene – it’s pretty cinematic, and sets the stage for the
rest of the game, including introducing us to the mysterious figure Silver while Sonic
speeds away from Eggman while saving Elise.
8 No copyright law in the universe – Sonic Colours
A short but memorable moment from Sonic Colours, this one liner has from Sonic has always stuck
with fans.
And for good reason – it’s quite funny.
It even spawned a meme.
7 Dark Gaia Boss Battle – Sonic Unleashed In what is considered to be one of the more
terrifying sonic cut scenes in the series’ history, during the fight with the game’s
ultimate antagonist Dark Gaia, you witness Gaia transform into it’s second form.
And needless to say, it ain’t pretty.
It’s the stuff of nightmare fuel as Gaia sprouts new limbs and new eyes and it’s
final wide shot reveal strikes fear into you.
Right before you have to take on the immense task of defeating it.
6 Sonic’s board is sabotaged – Sonic Riders This cut scene features an intense race between
Jet the Hawk and Sonic that ends on a sour note – Wave sabotages Sonic’s board, helping
Jet win the race, and shooting Sonic up into the air with an explosion right before he’s
about to win.
Jet goes off, running his mouth to Sonic, before Sonic realizes he has more important
things to take care of then the nuisances that are the Babylon Rogues.
5 Pork Bun - Sonic Unleashed One of the more fun cut scenes on our list,
we’ve got the Pork Bun scene that takes place when Chip and Sonic are in Chun-Nan.
Not only does this comical moment make players chuckle, it also highlights Sonic and Chip’s
friendship without getting into silly cliché territory, all while doing the characters
justice.
It also perfectly encompassing how most of us feel about sharing the last pork bun in
general.
4 Faker - Sonic Adventure 2 A fan favourite, this moment for Sonic adventure
2 between Sonic and Shadow is seen as an iconic exchange of words between our favourite hero
and the ultimate anti-hero.
While retrospectively, their dialogue may be a little juvenile, back when Sonic Adventure
2 was released, fans lost it, and it really helped set the stage for Sonic and Shadow’s
rivalry.
3 Sonic Generations – Eggman of the past A pinch of self-reflexivity here, this scene
in Sonic Generations when Eggman reveals he’s been working with Eggman of the past brings
out all of the nostalgic feels, and pokes some good ol fun at itself and the franchise’s
history, giving long time fans of the series something to enjoy beyond just the surface
level of the narrative.
Additionally, the way the Eggmans talk to each other is wonderful.
2 Metal Sonic Transformation – Sonic Heroes Near the end of Sonic Heroes, we find out
that the true villain of the game is Metal Sonic, who begins to transform into a dragon-esque
beast for Sonic and co to take on.
It’s pretty epic, and really emphasizes the danger that Sonic and pals are about to
face, while showcasing how versatile Metal Sonic really is as a villain.
All the teams come together, showing us the power of teamwork, which even includes the
likes of Eggman, all while amping up the player up for one of the most memorable boss battles
in the franchise.
1 Sonic Unleashed Opening Cut Scene Say what you will about the Sonic Unleashed
game, but it’s cut scenes definitely deserve some major credit.
Not only are they incredibly detailed and cinematic, but they really set the stage for
how dire of a mission Sonic is involved in within the game.
The opening cut scene does this in particular, and oh boy, does Sonic have an epic entrance.
It’s jam packed with exactly the kind of energy you’d expect from a Sonic game, and
even features Sonic turning into both Super Sonic AND the Werehog, and both Sonic and
Eggman are at the top of their game.
Shout out to Eggman’s excessively phallic space ship though.
