thats probably it, youtube has been wierd, im not getting notifications at all from my subscriptions, and my notification bell about comments and stuff, isnt working quite well, I hate when they start making weird changes that make things worse but we dont notice it until someone else tells us
James, READ THIS MESSAGE, if your going to play sonic 3, remember that the spinning cylinders in carnival night zone can be moved up and down by pushing the d pad up and down in conjunction with the cylinders movement, NOT jumping on it. This tip WILL see you thru that zone!
I wish someone would have told me this in the mid-90s. I didn't know how to do it until like 2003 when someone mentioned it online, long after my cartridge had gone missing.
I know. Sonic 3&K tends to get knocked down a peg. I guess it's gotten more love in recent years, but I still hear people who think that the series actually went downhill with Sonic 3. I've always thought Sonic 3&K was the most balanced game of the Genesis era. I love Sonic 3&K. Sonic 2 is good, but my patience wanes starting in Oil Ocean, and I stop liking it after Metropolis Zone.
Neil, I agree. I think 3&K, even separate, are a better game or games than 2. 2 has some levels that really just aren't that much fun, like Oil Ocean. It does get better at the end of the game, but imo, it's not he best Sonic game. I think people just tend to hop on bandwagons, and somehow 2 got put up on a pedestal over time.
The half-invisible plants you guys have mentioned are a side effect of a method often used in games from that era to achieve the illusion of transparency called dithering. It's often blurred out when using composite cables, to a point where it looks rather convincing, but RGB has no such mercy and the secret is revealed. It's a hardware limitation from back then.
MrGamer1992 Well, I can't tell you what SEGA's reasoning for it was, but obviously not all bushes are equally thick. My guess is that their argument would be that and the fact that they wanted the bushes to be foreground elements that didn't completely obstruct your view.
You guys should totally play Sonic 3 & Knuckles next. It would be better in co-op too, because the person playing as Tails can actually fly Sonic up to different parts of the level in that game.
they went off on a whole three stooges convo which is up as a deleted scene. I think they try to make sure these videos actually stay on topic but imo id rather them just release the whole recording xD
"A plumbing we will go" is one of my favorite ones. In "It's a mad mad mad world", they show up at the end as firemen. Gives me chills everytime it pans up from their boots
The in-game audio and the camera audio (of the game's sounds) aren't in perfect sync. It's not an easy task to check every part of the video project and match both audio files. Sometimes, it just doesn't work.
INKstreme Actually you can just face the controller towards the camera so it can see you press start button or similar. It becomes a visual sync which helps a lot.
I know, but this is not the whole video, those are cut parts, adjusted and trimmed, etc. He could've messed up a little bit while setting everything up.
Thanks for the video guys. Sonic 2, 3, and Knuckles are my favs of all time. As for chaos emeralds, collecting all 7 allows you to transform into Super Sonic, which is pretty fun. If ya'll do sonic 3, I recommend doing it with the Sonic and Knuckles lock-on so you can experience both halves of the game in its entirety. That game also has bonus stages, and if you collect all the emeralds there, you can get the final hidden boss and real ending. Cheers
I played all sonics(on sega), i collected all emeralds, you know, there's extra stages as a super sonic flying through space as a super sonic. Yes, double jump will transform to super sonic(in sonic 3) if you have 50+ rings and simple jump in sonic 2. Sonic 1 just doesn't have super sonic.
It's great to see you guys play this. I love this game, and I know every last in and out to it. Gathering all 7 emeralds not only gives you access to Super Sonic and a slightly altered ending, but by extension (and with some help from some really awesome glitchery), they also give you access to "Super Tails" and two even-faster and even-higher-jumping versions of Super Sonic (dubbed "Mega Sonic" and "Hyper Sonic").
Inazuma65 Yes, make sure to play the game as it was intended to be played. Plug Sonic 3 into the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge to experience the full game.
I didn't learn about super sonic until after genesis was obsolete for 20 years. I would have gone after the chaos emeralds as a kid if I'd known about it.
Pepper Spray I didn't because of the whole "take your rings" thing. And since I wanted continues, I always tried to have at least 100 rings at the end.
Thank goodness you avoided the "Pit" in Mystic Cave Act 2. As a Kid I'd always fall in there. Say Mike, did you ever fall in that pit? More so as Super Sonic? Ultimate time waster. I once Time Overed in that pit.
I swear I hit that pit almost every time I went through that level as Super Sonic. Waiting out the ten minute clock always felt like the longest few minutes of my life at the time.
In the official mobile release that pit leads to one of the two never before released Sonic 2 levels. Yep. People would debug or hack or whatever and see these 2 unfinished glitchy levels on the cartridge and they finally finished them. Too bad it's only for mobile. The levels are good too!
Nothing is worse than the barrel of doom from Sonic 3. Until you learn how easy it is... And then you feel even worse for wasting all that time your whole childhood.
Yeah, pretty crazy. The plane literally just follows sonic so you can't drop - not sure how you could play that level and think it's "awkward". It's easy.
Just remember that they complained about the easiest level in Shadows of the Empire as well. One that five year old kids who have never played the game can beat.
+Cinemassacre All the chaos Emeralds in Sonic 2 get you Super Sonic and a different ending. Remember to plug Sonic 3 in to Sonic and Knuckles for an extended version of the game. Getting all 14 Chaos Emeralds in Sonic 3 & Knuckles gives you Hyper Sonic and a new final boss.
They never seem to have their video in sync with the games they play. The reactions always seems to be before or after the game. You'd think with the mics picking up the tv audio (the most obvious simple fix), they'd be able to sync it perfectly.
I love James's explanation to Mike on every boss fight. "You gotta jump up and down on it." Rofl no shit. James's expressions during this game is like hes truly reliving his childhood.
Fun to watch them as total beginners to the game, but there's still more enjoyment to be had. Stage select and playing Special Stages only, Super Sonic in the whole game, debug mode to fly around and glitch it up!!
True, but Silver Sonic and Mecha Sonic are two different bots. And then there's Metal Sonic. You're not wrong in that non-fans of Sonic won't know (or care about) the difference, but I don't fall into that category.
Raimi's Oz is Army of Darkness for kids! The plots are exactly the same. Charming yet egotistical rogue gets transported to another world, is presumed to be the fulfillment of a prophesy and then uses his scientific knowledge (exclusive to his world) in order to defeat the seemingly all-powerful antagonist. I loved it for that reason alone.
2:36 they talk about sega VS nintendo and the console wars book/movie, Mike states that james already did a video about it, Anybody know what episode of James it was? i cant seem to find it in the AVGN list... so is it a seperate video? whats it called?
Cinemassacre hey guys, do Sonic 3 and Knuckles, it is both games combined with additional content! that would be so awesome if you'd do that probably my favorite game all time also make sure to get all chaos emeralds to become super Sonic at 50 rings and Tails is really useful in that game as well!
dayum you guys brought back great memories... James face priceless lol. I remember being a kid and how good it felt beating them 2 bosses exactly how you guys did with no gold rings Niice...
23:17 - Actually, that's Silver Sonic. Mecha Sonic was in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. And Metal Sonic was in Sonic CD, Heroes, Generations, and 4: Episode II, and many others.
Oz The Great And Powerful basically had shot for shot scenes from Army of Darkness but just replaced Army of Darkness characters with Wizard of Oz characters it was just pure laziness
Everyone still goes ga-ga over this game, but I thought Sonic 3, and Sonic & Knuckles were way better(for the record, this is still a damn good retro game - just stating my strong preference)...and forget when you put them together lol, no other Sonic game comes close
Really, all the original ones hold up well. A couple of the 3D games are solid too. The crappy titles like Sonic 06 gave the series a bad rap. I have a feeling that Sonic Mania will be the best one of them all
The chaos emeralds let you turn into super sonic. If you reset the game, go to the options menu and press start the game will start at the beginning of the game with any emeralds you had before
hi guys, and james, I'm like a game master of the retro days and I have to tell you, if you get 50 rings and hit the check mark, you can play the bonus stage, all the rings come back to the stage after doing so. if you get all the chaos emeralds the bonus stage disappears and once you collect 50 rings and jump, you can become super sayan sonic.
I only liked Curly Joe in The Stooges meet Hercules. Interestingly Shemp was there before Curly but went off to pursue his own career and came back after Curly had a stroke.
You can hear the game music playing on James and Mike's mics and then later is coming from the capture device on the game itself which is why it sounds desynced.

Orrrr.... click on the 'Subscriptions' page?
Have people never heard of the subscriptions tab?
Patrick Howie They probably won't use it, they'd rather use the original hardware and games. Which is correct anyway.
James, READ THIS MESSAGE, if your going to play sonic 3, remember that the spinning cylinders in carnival night zone can be moved up and down by pushing the d pad up and down in conjunction with the cylinders movement, NOT jumping on it. This tip WILL see you thru that zone!
Oh my god yes.
haha xD
I wish someone would have told me this in the mid-90s. I didn't know how to do it until like 2003 when someone mentioned it online, long after my cartridge had gone missing.
I did figure it out as a kid, but only after being stuck for months and months on end.
Took me a long time as a kid to figure that out. I had several timeouts in Carnival Night Zone until I figured out how the cylinders worked.
Love Sonic 2, but Sonic 3 & Knuckles is my favorite
I know. Sonic 3&K tends to get knocked down a peg. I guess it's gotten more love in recent years, but I still hear people who think that the series actually went downhill with Sonic 3. I've always thought Sonic 3&K was the most balanced game of the Genesis era. I love Sonic 3&K.
Sonic 2 is good, but my patience wanes starting in Oil Ocean, and I stop liking it after Metropolis Zone.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles is one of the greatest games ever.
Neil, I agree. I think 3&K, even separate, are a better game or games than 2. 2 has some levels that really just aren't that much fun, like Oil Ocean. It does get better at the end of the game, but imo, it's not he best Sonic game.
I think people just tend to hop on bandwagons, and somehow 2 got put up on a pedestal over time.
never got to play 3 only ever had 2.
Soni Cd is also a good one.
SOnic 2 is great and all but i think some of the levels can be unforgiving.
and Silver Sonic still gives me trouble
proud to say i was a sega kid growing up. this is one of my favourite
The half-invisible plants you guys have mentioned are a side effect of a method often used in games from that era to achieve the illusion of transparency called dithering. It's often blurred out when using composite cables, to a point where it looks rather convincing, but RGB has no such mercy and the secret is revealed. It's a hardware limitation from back then.
But bushes aren't normally transparent though
MrGamer1992 They're foreground bushes. The idea is that you can still see Sonic when walking behind the foreground bushes.
MrGamer1992 Well, I can't tell you what SEGA's reasoning for it was, but obviously not all bushes are equally thick. My guess is that their argument would be that and the fact that they wanted the bushes to be foreground elements that didn't completely obstruct your view.
I found it strange that they never noticed it before in games
Kristijan Puljek I guess most people don't give those things much thought.
Dudes... Chaos Emeralds= SUPER FRIGGIN SONIC!!!!!
Serge Kent Exactly. How did they not know that shit?
This is pretty much a must in a Sonic game
Carlos Bianchi Velez
Alex Lopresti I'm Corinthians, but I deeply respect Vélez, specially that team with Chilavert, Omar Asad and Mancuso (lendários).
Carlos Bianchi Yeah they beat Milan.
Alex Lopresti And São Paulo as well on the same year
something was fucked up with the audio in this episode. You could hear the game music playing twice.
A real shame, 'cause the soundtrack in this game is wonderful.
The microphones they were using also picked up the audio coming out of the tv. While the audio was recorded through their capture device.
Sky Chase Zone's music is an absolute classic, one of my favorites in the Sonic franchise
OMG, a Sonic 3 and Knuckles playthrough would be amazing. It has much more variety than Sonic 2.
16-Bit Sonic games are the best.
I agree
Sonic Generations is pretty good too
I hope that the Sonic that comes out this year for my 64-Bit machine will be just as good.
Sonic generations restored my faith in Sonic games altogether. It was perfectly done
I still prefer a few 3D Sonic games over them including Adventure 2, Colors, and Generations, but Sonic 3 & Knuckles is my favorite 2D Sonic game.
these games are seriously a lot more fun than a lot of the more complicating games these days.
Maybe you just need to git gud
She's right most games these days are pathetically easy
FORSAKEN ESF Except for Doom 2016, that game was the only one to meet my difficulty standards.
what games are complicating in These days? Certainly none of the Triple A Games they are piss easy if you compare them with the 80s 90s Games
Swiss_brodi RPG games in general. But I guess it makes it more interesting. I can't figure them out without a strategy guide though.
Great to see you play this game. The audio seems doubled and out of sync though.
Yuzoboy Hello big fan
It's bothersome but the Mystic Cave "remix" is kinda funny
One of my favorites. You got to play Sonic 3 sometime.
I need to play that one again.
Intimidation yeah play as tails
apex2000 eww no do it as knuckles.
MaD_M0n3Y_M3rK - Play as Sonic.
Play as venom
You guys should totally play Sonic 3 & Knuckles next. It would be better in co-op too, because the person playing as Tails can actually fly Sonic up to different parts of the level in that game.
Sonic 2 is a good game, but Sonic 3 and Knuckles has always been my favorite in the series. I'd be overjoyed to see you guys play that :D
i'd like to see that
The part about Tails' name kind of blew my mind, I never came close to remotely noticing that before.
It's in the cartoon, the one where sonics voiced by steve urkel, sonic makes fun of him for being named miles
Right when they started dissing Joe Besser the video messes up, his ghost took revenge. 9:14
Matthew W thanks for confirming it wasn't just me. I was worried my TV was starting to die there lol
they went off on a whole three stooges convo which is up as a deleted scene. I think they try to make sure these videos actually stay on topic but imo id rather them just release the whole recording xD
It’s always so meta to think that James and Mike are each other’s fans, I love seeing them defend or compliment one another
"A plumbing we will go" is one of my favorite ones. In "It's a mad mad mad world", they show up at the end as firemen. Gives me chills everytime it pans up from their boots
Is the sound desynced or is it my PC?
And why do I hear the same sound effects twice?
yes, the videos are desynced.
The in-game audio and the camera audio (of the game's sounds) aren't in perfect sync. It's not an easy task to check every part of the video project and match both audio files. Sometimes, it just doesn't work.
INKstreme Actually you can just face the controller towards the camera so it can see you press start button or similar. It becomes a visual sync which helps a lot.
Yeah it's some technical difficulty. Hopefully they can fix it.
I know, but this is not the whole video, those are cut parts, adjusted and trimmed, etc. He could've messed up a little bit while setting everything up.
Thanks for the video guys. Sonic 2, 3, and Knuckles are my favs of all time. As for chaos emeralds, collecting all 7 allows you to transform into Super Sonic, which is pretty fun.

That game also has bonus stages, and if you collect all the emeralds there, you can get the final hidden boss and real ending. Cheers
I'll add to this and say if you do Sonic 3, get the hack called Sonic 3 Complete. It's widely considered the best Sonic 3 experience.
so they know not of super sonic?
furydeath super sonic was only a myth stupid kid
iThinkiHaveEbola Super Sonic was in the game stupid kid
after i figured out that all(7) emeralds= super sonic, i played sonic 1 again... and.. surprise surprise :D nothing... noooooooo!!!!
I played all sonics(on sega), i collected all emeralds, you know, there's extra stages as a super sonic flying through space as a super sonic. Yes, double jump will transform to super sonic(in sonic 3) if you have 50+ rings and simple jump in sonic 2. Sonic 1 just doesn't have super sonic.
jigahnnexus it was obviously a troll
Please, if you do sonic 3, play sonic 3 & knuckles, instead of regular one.
RoyalGuardian I Have The Powerrr...!
Alex Lopresti Yes, by the power of Mike's dick, I HAVE THE POWER!!!
It's great to see you guys play this. I love this game, and I know every last in and out to it. Gathering all 7 emeralds not only gives you access to Super Sonic and a slightly altered ending, but by extension (and with some help from some really awesome glitchery), they also give you access to "Super Tails" and two even-faster and even-higher-jumping versions of Super Sonic (dubbed "Mega Sonic" and "Hyper Sonic").
When you play Sonic 3, do Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Inazuma65 Yes, make sure to play the game as it was intended to be played. Plug Sonic 3 into the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge to experience the full game.
I agree! I hope they play the full game rather than just Sonic 3 alone.
Oh yes! On their own, the games are only half the experience, but together, they're the total package!
I didn't learn about super sonic until after genesis was obsolete for 20 years. I would have gone after the chaos emeralds as a kid if I'd known about it.
Pepper Spray as a kid in 92 i couldnt have cared less about anything but getting thru levels as fast as possible lol
Pepper Spray I didn't because of the whole "take your rings" thing. And since I wanted continues, I always tried to have at least 100 rings at the end.
Thank goodness you avoided the "Pit" in Mystic Cave Act 2. As a Kid I'd always fall in there.
Say Mike, did you ever fall in that pit? More so as Super Sonic? Ultimate time waster. I once Time Overed in that pit.
Giratina3 you mean the never ending pit? That thing tricked me into thinking it leads somewhere for at least a minute of falling lol
I swear I hit that pit almost every time I went through that level as Super Sonic. Waiting out the ten minute clock always felt like the longest few minutes of my life at the time.
In the official mobile release that pit leads to one of the two never before released Sonic 2 levels. Yep. People would debug or hack or whatever and see these 2 unfinished glitchy levels on the cartridge and they finally finished them. Too bad it's only for mobile. The levels are good too!
Nothing is worse than the barrel of doom from Sonic 3. Until you learn how easy it is... And then you feel even worse for wasting all that time your whole childhood.
FUCK THE BARREL OF DOOM.
I've never heard anyone complain about Sky Chase. It's so easy.
Yup, James was actually going below the bombers, WTF
Yeah, pretty crazy. The plane literally just follows sonic so you can't drop - not sure how you could play that level and think it's "awkward". It's easy.
If you spin dash at a very specific speed, you fall off the plane; that kind of sucks.
Just remember that they complained about the easiest level in Shadows of the Empire as well. One that five year old kids who have never played the game can beat.
you guys should play more genesis games lol how bout castle of illusion
brad o fuck that shit
Lol
How about dark castle
How about Ristar?
That game is forgotten and it kinda deserves some love
Crusader of Centy and Landstalker
Ok, so on the last video I mentioned Sonic CD - I've never seen a play thru of Knuckles Chaotix, either! Would love to see that.
+Cinemassacre
All the chaos Emeralds in Sonic 2 get you Super Sonic and a different ending.
Remember to plug Sonic 3 in to Sonic and Knuckles for an extended version of the game.
Getting all 14 Chaos Emeralds in Sonic 3 & Knuckles gives you Hyper Sonic and a new final boss.
David Harris I didn't know that. is that true?lol
I got the emeralds on Sonic 3, got Super Sonic and didn't bother to play any bonus stage again.
The Doomsday Zone, man. Enough said.
The clashing audio was really distracting in this video.
Never realized that Miles Prower was a pun on "Miles per hour". The more you know.
Holy balls me either...Can't believe I overlooked it.
They never seem to have their video in sync with the games they play. The reactions always seems to be before or after the game. You'd think with the mics picking up the tv audio (the most obvious simple fix), they'd be able to sync it perfectly.
If you guys have a sega saturn i'd like to see guys do NiGHTS into Dreams!
James and Mike would have a blast doing that game!
This game created back seat drivers
Getting all the chaos emeralds allow you to turn into super sonic.
yeah......
Trevor Finley Super Saiyan Sonic.
Seeing James' face when he beat Sonic 2 was the greatest thing.
sarcasm? the correct word is anticlimactic 🙄🙁
the two audios are unsynced most of the video...
I love James's explanation to Mike on every boss fight. "You gotta jump up and down on it." Rofl no shit. James's expressions during this game is like hes truly reliving his childhood.
Play sonic 3 & knuckles! It's one huge game! It's my favorite sonic game lol
Fun to watch them as total beginners to the game, but there's still more enjoyment to be had. Stage select and playing Special Stages only, Super Sonic in the whole game, debug mode to fly around and glitch it up!!
Metropolis Zone would be much easier if you could play as Superman.
Naveek Darkroom Twilight
Yeah but he cant do that because he is going through rings.
Metropolis Zone has plenty of rings.
African Warlord My little pony Sucks.
It would be easier if you could play as a Slicer and kill Sonics
Definitely my favorite 2d sonic game. I used to play this all the time at my cousins house :)
pretty sure death egg zone always starts you with 0 rings
That's the whole idea.
Love the classic 3 stooges!
It triggered me that everytime james did a spin dash he never charged it up
Mike's right your console wars video was one of the best you've ever done. You should do an out of character console review series.
He said he didn't like the ending. probably because they got the bad ending :D
3 years later still sitting here waiting for Sonic 3 👨🏻🦳
Do not do Sonic 3 unless you connect it to Sonic and Knuckles.
Can you imagine their reaction if they ever manage to unlock Hyper Sonic?
jigahnnexus No, he means Hyper Sonic
jigahnnexus it's the sonic you get after getting the chaos emeralds and hyper emeralds. Its basically a better super sonic.
jigahnnexus it's also not new. it's been hear since sonic 3 and knuckles.
15:54 lol that game over music matched your sad faces so well
I'm gonna be _that_ guy and point out that that's not Mecha Sonic, it's Silver Sonic.
cheebert For a second I thought I would have to be that guy. XD Thanks :)
True, but Silver Sonic and Mecha Sonic are two different bots. And then there's Metal Sonic. You're not wrong in that non-fans of Sonic won't know (or care about) the difference, but I don't fall into that category.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I wish they did sonic 3 after all
this video should have been in 60fps
Agreed with that!
Jack Mcslay classic though.
McZub They have a Framemeister though and Mike uploads his playthroughs in 60FPS, they should do the same with James and Mike Mondays vids.
I like how when you died with the Mystic Cave boss and couldn't jump to reach the rings, Mike just sat there rather than flying up to get them.
Sonic 3 &K was the absolute best.
But Sonic Mania may end up replacing it in the throne.
I loved Sonic 2, but Sonic and Knuckles is still my favorite! :) Nice vid !
Sonic Colors and Generations are both good
"Sonic Adventure is supposed to be awesome"
Ohhhhhh Mike.... you have no idea the hell that awaits you
The thumbnail got my attention
Raimi's Oz is Army of Darkness for kids! The plots are exactly the same. Charming yet egotistical rogue gets transported to another world, is presumed to be the fulfillment of a prophesy and then uses his scientific knowledge (exclusive to his world) in order to defeat the seemingly all-powerful antagonist. I loved it for that reason alone.
best way to play sonic 3 is to add sonic and knuckles
2:36 they talk about sega VS nintendo and the console wars book/movie, Mike states that james already did a video about it,
Anybody know what episode of James it was? i cant seem to find it in the AVGN list... so is it a seperate video? whats it called?
oh thanks, ive seen it, guess i kinda forgot ^^
Maybe Sonic 3 & Knuckles should be it's own AVGN episode like what he did with Super Mario 3, that's one of your best episodes
Sky Chase Zone has the best music in any Sonic game but why is such a soothing relaxing piece of music playing during such a hard stage
True ending will be with all gems collected
BRING BACK JAMES AND MIKE MONDAYS
Cinemassacre
hey guys, do Sonic 3 and Knuckles, it is both games combined with additional content!
that would be so awesome if you'd do that
probably my favorite game all time
also make sure to get all chaos emeralds to become super Sonic at 50 rings
and Tails is really useful in that game as well!
dayum you guys brought back great memories... James face priceless lol. I remember being a kid and how good it felt beating them 2 bosses exactly how you guys did with no gold rings Niice...
You doubled your game audio, bruh.
23:17 - Actually, that's Silver Sonic. Mecha Sonic was in Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
And Metal Sonic was in Sonic CD, Heroes, Generations, and 4: Episode II, and many others.
make sure you do Sonic 3 & knuckles when you do play it.
Sam The Multimedia Man what an original idea. Nobody else in the comments has said that yet.
Oz The Great And Powerful basically had shot for shot scenes from Army of Darkness but just replaced Army of Darkness characters with Wizard of Oz characters it was just pure laziness
why don't they know about super sonic!?
You beat both the last bosses on the first try? Good fucking job, James.
Everyone still goes ga-ga over this game, but I thought Sonic 3, and Sonic & Knuckles were way better(for the record, this is still a damn good retro game - just stating my strong preference)...and forget when you put them together lol, no other Sonic game comes close
Dr.Beef Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the biggest and best game in the series.
Really, all the original ones hold up well. A couple of the 3D games are solid too. The crappy titles like Sonic 06 gave the series a bad rap.
I have a feeling that Sonic Mania will be the best one of them all
I recall the issue with Sonic 3 being the level design didnt take as much advantage of the fast paced gameplay.
At 25:10 Tails: "SONIC! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Sonic the hedgehog fell to his death that very day.... RIP Sonic :'(
The ending sucked because that ISN'T the real (good) ending. Seriously, how can you not know about Chaos Emeralds and Super Sonic??
I do. I have all the choas emeralds and am playing as Super Sonic and am having a jack off sesion with Sonic 2 even as I type this one handed.
The chaos emeralds let you turn into super sonic. If you reset the game, go to the options menu and press start the game will start at the beginning of the game with any emeralds you had before
My God James it's painful to watch you play Sonic 2! It's understandable though since you grew up with Nintendo.
Wow I have never seen the last boss beat that way before!!! I hit him when he bends down after targeting you. Well played.
If you are gonna play a "modern" Sonic, let it be Generations, not Adventure. The Adventure games really didn't age very well.
The Adventure games are laughably bad in many ways. Children of their time, really.
I was losing it when he didn't know to do the roll spin to kill that lobster thing.
Noobs. Let's go back to 1992 and my 8 year old self will teach you how to play Sonic 2 the right way.
you try playing it whilst being recorded and talking the entire time, it's a lot harder to concentrate on the game than playing it normally
GT6SuzukaTimeTrials boi, u just unironically used the word noob.
The OP is a total moron.
Sonic 3 with Knuckles is the BEST Sonic experience game.
your not that good at this game
the cut away edits like to the box art and wiki page were really funny
22:55 I think in the version of sonic 2 on sonic compilation/sonic classics, there are some rings in death egg zone.
James owned that ending!
James totally evading life's questions - mario or luigi, sonic or tails, moe or larry...
LOVE the thumbnail
Thanks for doing this game, brought back some memories for sure.
My alltime most played favorite sonic game. But sonic 1-3 & knuckles were all gems.
What's with the double music overlapping.... Really noticeable during the boss fights
Jame's face at the end priceless
James.
When you do a spin dash, you can press Jump multiple times to gain more acceleration.
Please, let this go to the top.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles = best Sonic game ever. Arguably best 2D platformer ever.
hi guys, and james, I'm like a game master of the retro days and I have to tell you, if you get 50 rings and hit the check mark, you can play the bonus stage, all the rings come back to the stage after doing so. if you get all the chaos emeralds the bonus stage disappears and once you collect 50 rings and jump, you can become super sayan sonic.
I only liked Curly Joe in The Stooges meet Hercules. Interestingly Shemp was there before Curly but went off to pursue his own career and came back after Curly had a stroke.
Ah 3 Stooges & Sonic!
You can hear the game music playing on James and Mike's mics and then later is coming from the capture device on the game itself which is why it sounds desynced.
