Hey everyone!
Welcome back to top 10 gaming, the channel where we list off all things video games.
Today we’re returning to a recently popular list – the top 10 fan made sonic games.
And things get a little sillier this time around; we’ll be looking at some wonderful
parody games along with ones crafted in retaliation to Sega’s development flaws, and ones that
are just straight up fan homages.
So get ready to be entertained by the sonic-themed debauchery and expertise.
Also, most of these are free to download, so if there’s any that jump out to you,
definitely give them a google.
10 Super Sonic Adventure 2 – The New Challenges Starting off this list is a genuine effort
to give fans a 3D sonic game of quality while mocking another franchise, The New Challenges
takes Sonic Adventure 2’s levels and increases the roster of playable characters.
Meaning, you can play as any of the characters available in multiplayer, but in single player
and during the levels that are normally just solo sonic.
You also gain each of those characters abilities, so it’s not just a different skin.
The downside?
Well, in order to use this mod, you need to own Sonic Adventure 2 HD on Steam, with the
mod being available for free on the SonicRetro website.
9 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Complete On our previous part 1 list, we featured a
lot of games that were takes on the classic Sega genesis Sonic games, and Sonic the hedgehog
3 complete fits that bill.
Back in the day in 1994, Sonic & Knuckles was released, and you could snap it’s cartridge
on top of the cartridge for sonic 3, which combined the two games.
Initially, the two games were supposed to be one, but were separated.
So what’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Complete all about then?
It takes the two games combined and fixes all bug issues and offers the player the option
to modify various parts of the game, like what soundtrack you use, adjustments to the
levels and their transitions into one another and even a more advanced version of Tails
mode.
8 Sanic Hedgehog 5 Would you like your ears to bleed?
Well, lucky for you, this game’s soundtrack will do exactly that.
Aside from driving you insane, Sanic Hedgehog 5 is a flash game that doesn’t care to go
fast.
You walk and jump through the levels to pick up a ring that’s at the end of each, with
a hovering Eggman watching over it.
Perhaps the game gets funnier as you go, but I couldn’t get through more than 3 levels
of this – But if you have, let us know in those comments
below and tell us what we missed out on.
7 When Tails Gets Bored Using graphics taken from the genesis Sonic
games, When Tails Get Bored is a parody game that was made in the games factory engine,
and its based on a bunch of hoaxes.
As Sonic, you run into Tails, who tells you that he’s bored, so he turns off all the
lights.
You then have to go along with his shenanigans, and while the story is slightly infuriating
and unmotivated, the gameplay isn’t all that terrible.
That being said, it’s all pretty much just ripped from Sonic games, so it doesn’t really
do anything unique or original.
But if you’re looking for something mildly weird to try, or something a little offbeat
from a traditional Sonic game, it’s worth a shot, and even has some pockets of humour
that Sonic fans might get a chuckle out of.
6 Sanicball Let’s be honest – Sanicball is pretty
ridiculous.
But that’s exactly why it’s gained popularity though.
Anyway, Sanicball is a racing game, which is pretty much all over the place.
Plus there’s a lot of really hilarious easter eggs peppered throughout that make it really
enjoyable when you stray off course, like Biggie the tank engine and an ominous shrek
statue.
5 Sunky the Game Sunky is a hilarious parody of the classic
platform Sonic games.
You walk casually through a level, with the inability to really do much of anything else.
When you reach the end of a level, it announces ‘Sunky did a thing’, and the music?
Well, it’s pretty great.
It’s also spawned a ton of sequels and ‘spiritual successors’ to other Sonic games, Sega and
fan made.
But perhaps that’s for another part of this video series.
4 Sanix the Edgehog Adventure 2DX Now this is a 3D sonic game I can get behind.
In this fan game, you get to play as a realistic version of sonic – one where he actually
looks like a real life hedgehog, all within levels that accurately parody those of Sonic
Adventure.
Being only a three level demo, it’s a little limited, and apparently it’s been quite
buggy and glitchy for some players, but the humour value is immense, and it’s quickly
become a fan favourite.
3 Eggman Hates Furries While the animations are shady at best,and
the title invokes all sorts of feelings towards part of the Sonic fandom, Eggman Hates Furries
is actually a really enjoyable game.
The creator, a Game Jolt user named Oddwarg, describes the game as “an untraditional
Sonic fangame based on redefined boss battles and stylish presentation.
Full of surprises and highly ambiguous”, which is actually pretty accurate.
The boss fights are just down right epic, and parts of the game are more than just a
little eerie.
Definitely not the kind of family friendly game that the Sonic franchise produces, but
definitely something worth checking out.
2 Super Sonic Knockout Super sonic knockout is essentially a fighting
game mixed in with the traditional Sonic gameplay.
It feels a little like Super Smash bros (hence the name) but also features elements of other
platform games when it comes to combat.
It offers a few different modes – story, battle and nonstop mode, plus an additional
one you can unlock.
In addition to that, the story and writing aren’t too shabby, especially when compared
to other sonic fan games.
What, an unique Sonic game with some actual thought put into it?
Someone call the current Sonic Team at Sega and tell them to take notes.
1 Sonic.exe We’ve mentioned this game on a couple of
times on this channel, since it generally falls into the creepy Sonic category.
So Sonic.exe was initially a creepypasta – an urban legend that popped up online about a
teenager who witnesses a bunch of terrifying paranormal events when he plays a modded PC
port of the 1991 Sonic the hedgehog game.
Then, in 2012, a GameJolt user by the name of MY5TCrimson released a game titled Sonic.exe,
which was based on the creepypasta, and featured some pretty disturbing moments.
You play as Tails, Knuckles and Eggman, all of whom are manipulated into morbid events
by a possessed red eyed Sonic, with the game venturing further into hellish territory as
you progress.
There’s just no escaping Sonic.
Well, that’s a creepy note to end off on!
