Trailers Sonic 2's "Final Trailer" Has Emerald Power and a New Poster

[GX -The Spindash-]

With April 8th rapidly approaching, Paramount has released their "Final Trailer" for Sonic 2, featuring loads of previously unseen footage, a super-powered Jim Carrey, and lots of Sonic vs. Knuckles action.

The trailer links the previously shown scenes of Tom at the wedding in Hawaii, and Sonic snowboarding during an avalanche and robot attack. It's also the first major interaction we've seen between the speedy and headstrong Sonic and the serious and... astoundingly physically strong Knuckles. Tails still has minimal appearance, no dialog, and spends most of the trailer unconscious, so we don't yet have a sense of how the movie portrays his dynamic with Sonic. There's also slightly more pop culture references that will assuredly not age well, and a simple and direct game reference early on that will pique fans' interests.

At the same time, a new movie poster has surfaced, featuring a recreation of the famous Sonic 2 North American and European box art (you'll notice Knuckles' reflection in the 2 itself).

Leading up to this reveal, Paramount released two short trailers, including a March Madness-centered trailer titled "Madness," and a gag trailer they've pitched as the "Sonic Cut."

And yeah, the "Sonic Cut" trailer is actually a series of one-frame shots with several gag images thrown in, including...

   

With this new trailer, we finally have a stronger sense of what the movie will actually be about, a more thorough look at the owl temple that possibly links Sonic, Knuckles, and Long Claw, and further confirmation that the Master Emerald will play a central role. All that's left is the slightly-less-than-one-month wait until its release date!

If what McDonald’s and Jakks Pacific teased is true, then the final battle of the film is gonna be one super showdown.

Awesome! The the wedding moment, and the end (Knuckles tyring to throw several punches at Sonic before finaly landing one) were both hilarious.

Oh ffs the clown shoes Ben’s wearing are more accurate than movie Sonic’s.

Not to sound negative since the movie looks great and better than the first but I’ll never get used to this type of professional advertising using… memes. It’s so disappointing that they need to rely on this lame gimmick, y’know?

I honestly agree, but I dunno, I guess the memes work on kids. With one exception. I kinda dig the photo of Elba with the dumb CG boxing gloves.

I booked my tickets about 2 weeks ago. the UK has them on sale now for April 1st ^^

I'm pumped! let’s go! 

The only thing I’m worried about… is Tails going to be hardly in this? He doesn’t seem to be getting much from all these trailers etc.

I really like how good Tails looks in that poster.

This trailer really impressed me !!!  Tails really played a small role in it and the snowy part reminds me of the snowy stage of Sonic 3, now everything !!  Surely when I see it on the cinema screen I will shout with excitement !!!!

Speaking of poster, Tails is similing in the Japanese version of the previous poster.

The good old “American Kirby is hardcore” trope being ‘fixed’ in Japan.
