What makes Sonic games better than Mario? The gameplay, the characters, the story, music, the world? NOPE! That would be the openings to each game. A short cinematic that plays at the beginning of every adventure and includes a rocking song with it. But not every opening is created equal. So, I decided to rank all of the Sonic openings from every game that has one. From the beautifully 2d animated Sonic cd opening to the Sonic Unleashed opening cinematic. I find out what works and what really doesn’t work.

i said pick me up not throw me over the moon! best line in history.
Sonic unleashed does have an opening with music, but it’s just reused cutscenes and you have to sit on the title screen for a bit.
Ngl this vid made my day
My personal favorites are Sonic CD and Unleashed
The fact that when he does that whole game show like welcome to the ranking of Sonic openings it played the spin the wheel music from sonic runners
HAHA, HA, ONE!
where is sonic origins
never mind
Sonic colours is beter than Unleahed? …I want shoot my self
I play the piano and I know how to play reach for the stars ⭐️ on a Yamaha piano
Bruh it make the masterpiece of 06 in b tier im so dissapointed
What’s even better is the animal crossing title screen, I love the music.
Colors intro was the best thing in my life when i was younger
The Forces intro is pretty good even (The CGI one.)
WHAT THE GENRATIONS IS GREAT I AN SURE EVVRYONE AGREES
I honestly had never seen your content, pretty underrated! You feel kinda like Scott the Woz 😀
i will be like whenever i see sonic advture 1 intro when angel island fall and there is like literally a voice when angel island falls that voice lol bro that's like so so so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but still so fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and so much powerful song
Should I play these sonic games
1 shadow the hedgehog
2 sonic riders
3 sonic 06 (I bet you will say no)
4 sonic and the secret rings (motion controls)
5 sonic unleashed (are night time stages really bad)
6 sonic lost world
But each in your replies and put yes or no
can you do this again but add the add the 1st cutscene of frontiers and the cutscene where sonic gets his ass handed to him by infinite
wheres sonic and sega all stars racing
Makin a tier for 3D blast genesis is the funniest shit
Doesn't Generations have an extended opening?
I like the sonic song 🎵
omg neat video, always wanted to see someone else gush about these openings as much as I do
Shadow the Hedgehog unironically deserved Super Sonic tier tho. Perfect song, perfect visuals, perfectly matches the tone of the game (as odd of a choice as that tone might be), and it actually manages to make the idea kinda hype for a bit, even if the aliens, military and the game itself just feel kinda off… plus the animation is top tier, specially by the time! (then again, that might all be my bias lol)
Also wished TSR and Free Riders were there. I don't care much about the games themselves, but their opening cinematics actually match the definition of an opening much better than many of the mainline games, the songs are great, the animation is perfect and one of them even has Crush 40 on them! Thost are all nitpicks tho, other than that, perfect stuff
sonic generations will always be better than sonic unleashed
AND DONT YOU DARE SAY SONIC GENERATIONS IS TERIBLE SONIC UNLEASHED IS TERIBLE
Any one want to explain to Shadow that the model gun he had isn’t a Shotgun…
The intro cutscenes in Sonic games are surely the first thing I can't wait to see, after the story, the music, etc… Because man, IT'S SO BADASS!!!!! 😀
But I don't know if I should take what you said in the description well or badly…🤔🤔🤔
Sonic 06 opening is one of the biggest click baits of that decade 😂
While it isn't an opening cutscene, the Divergence prologue animation for Frontiers is amazing (2D) and should be recognized
Sonic riders zero graverty?????
Actually the Mario Series do have openings after you select a save file, but the Sonic Franchise an epic one before the beginning.
Oh, how could I forget Mario Od-
Me: jamming to the old reach for the stars
The Symphony: pops up
Me: jams even more
The terrible remaster: exists
"Let's get started", hit play on TV, shows Mario cartoon.
Sneaky.
Sonic says When you're born Kicking it Orphan What are they gonna do to their parents
Unnecessary hate for sonic 06. Cutscene is Easy A-S Tier.
Where is sonic 4 episode I and II?
If you think the intro of Sonic Unleashed is so amazing, you should watch Lupin III The First, a movie from the same animation studio.
BRO SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG WAS SO PEAKKKK
I wasnt hopping for the third sonic boom to be earrape
Sonic 3d blast music honestly was more then expected for the genisis
Seeing SA1's opening in Sonic Mega Collection gaslit me into pestering my friend to Let me borrow because it was soooo good
Well your wish for a sonic opening in the next game happened
