Sonic Origins is about to come out, so I decided to talk about Sonic commercials and magazines. Follow me if you want: / kirotalks #sonic #sonicmovie2 #sonicfrontiers
When I was younger, these ads always fascinated me so much. As an American that was born in '04, watching the old 90s ads as well as the foreign ads were always so cool to me to see how they marketed Sonic in different time periods in different parts of the world. Great video I laughed lots during it :)
I have my own theory about the Princess Sally "error". My guess is that at one point, Sega intended to swap Amy's sprites with Sally sprites. They had tried to do something similar with Segasonic The Hedgehog, as there are unused, Satam styled Robotnik sprites in the game's files. As such, it makes since to do the same here, especially cause both games were meant to drop in 1993.
If I recall correctly, the reason for the pseudo Sally design was due to the cartoon being canned in 1994. The team still wanted to use Sally, but didn't want to use an outdated character. (keep in mind the Archie series was also slated to end around this time)
Just gonna say to agree 100% one time bc incase other people reply i dont want to be a broken record I also respect opinions, so you can say Sonic Spinball is bad and it doesn't affect me at all.
I was born in 2000 so I’m always fascinated by pieces of early media. Especially ads, they really give you a feel of the culture for their time period.
5:39 *translating* I'm Sonic, and this is my friend Tails! We're at the Sonic 2 game! 5:46 *translating* Don't just stand there! Hehe! Run here to help me at Sonic 2!
This guy is growing rapidly,and i still remember 2 weeks ago,when he only had 150 subs ;-; Anyways great to know you are getting the attenction you deserve
Correction: The translation of "Não fique aí parado" would actually be "Don't just stand there". If it were "Do not stop", Sonic would have to say "não pare" (literal translation of "do not stop").
90s commercials had kind've an edge to them and they really wanted customers to buy the product by how over the top they were. Which was a fun way in getting a lot of people to buy their things.
I JUST found your channel about 3 days ago and I'm addicted to listening to you dote over, praise, and in equal measures, make fun of Sonic. Such a simple channel idea yet so much material in what, 32 or 34 years of Sonic greatness now? I don't think you'll ever run out of things to talk about with Sonic. It's a literal treasure trove of grade A entertainment ranging from totally awesome to totally cringy and even both at the same time. I need a life man. I really really do.
I've seen your last video about Sonic's creation and i'm surprised that i found a Channel at his begginig. I like your content and you will have a great future in your path. You already have my sub and my 👍! Edit: as a Brazilian 5:46 was the funniest thing i've ever seen in my life. Luckly we had a VA more rebel that dubbs all Sonic séries, and the movie too
I remember the McDonald's Happy Meal bit; they didn't have the usual container, but they did have a themed bag. In a table that was there for you to record your best times in some of the zones, it listed "Flying Battery Zone". At that point, Flying Battery was removed from the first half and put on "Sonic and Knuckles". But nobody told the _clown_ that...
okay you're obviously doing something right. I don't know how you got to over 5,000 subscribers so quickly with just four videos but damn you're good! I when I first saw one of your videos in my recommendations you were just over 4,000 subscribers and that was just a few hours ago and now you're above 5,000 subscribers as of me commenting right now.
I’m not sure which is worse, the fact the little brother is being punished for trading old sonic games, or the advertisement for the sega genesis attaching to the genesis 32x.
5:40 a brazilian sonic ad? i didnt expect that translation "Hello! im sonic and this is my friend tails, play my game sonic 2, dont just stay there!" lol
Maaan I’m still trying to find this one obscure Sonic commercial that I’ve only seen twice. The only notable thing I remember, maybe I’m mid-remembering, but it had a Super or Hyper Sonic or other character, literally flying across the screen through the normal game stages; not just the final stage in S3&K.
3:07 It was likely this commercial was broadcasted in Quebec because in France, the Sega Genesis is known as Mega Drive and the term Genesis was exclusively used in North America
7:52 what i hear is: pilot: is there another scene? (this wording seems weird? maybe im hearing it wrong) kid: check! pilot: and the new 3d stage? kid: check! (kiro talks over them here) pilot: here we go! (drops cartridges) announcer: the new sonic 3
The last commercials for an Italian have an elevate, a heavenly meaning, as the ads obviously is about the two having 'fun', and the name SEGA in Italian can both mean saw and wank. So yeah, now you get why this ads with SEGA consoles is funny here
About that weird animated Sonic 2 commercial where Sonic and Tails can speak, I am a native Spanish speaker and I can't even understand the commercial (yes, it's Spanish)!
7:20 actually, they put amy's name as sally on purpose due to the sonic satAM cartoon being famous or something like that, and they were changing her name in ceirtain places. i dont know if im 100% correct but its at least half of the information.
As a fellow subscriber that speaks french what the guy is saying to the kid in the first sonic 3 commercial is that he likes the new elements of the game like before showing the special sphere stage he asks him do you like the new 3d level
The Sega Genesis Ads made a big deal about Blast Processing, but it was not a technique that allowed Sonic incredible speed. Instead, it was a hardware trick where the console could render more colors on screen then normally possible… for still images. However, when the hardware designers were explaining this to marketing, they heard the term “Blast Processing” and just lied about what is actually did.
I love that Russian two-page spread for Sonic 2 that says Video-Ass in the bottom left (Maybe it stands for video accessory or something, but still - Video Ass) Also, surprised you didn't mention the whole Sonic/Right Said Fred Wonderman connection.
It's funny, because I've only ever seen that Super Mario World vs Sonic The Hedgehog commercial via VHS rips uploaded to youtube (was a liiittle bit before my time), where the video quality just makes them look exactly the same.
I know that one Sega Saturn commercial from caddicarus where the guy goes up to the Sega Saturn, puts his eyes in pipes, and they get sucked out or something. They probably took the body after that, put it in a meat grinder, and then used his remains as fertilizer. Idk its just a theory of what happened next.
Fun video, very nostalgic. The Sonic Cd Amy Sally error was probably just a miscommunication thing which sega had a lot in the early 90's. Satam was in production at the same time as Sonic 2 and was originally going to air in 1992 along with Sonic 2 and Sally's early design was pink with black hair. So when CD finally came to the US and it said Pink love interest character they actually probably thought it was supposed to be Princess sally because Sega of America had been working with DIC for over a year to create the show and characters. The show was delayed and re tweaked and sally was changed to the brown and red hair color design.
3:03 Fun fact, they mention "Sega Genesis" with a little bit of an accent (France used Sega Megadrive of course), which leads me to believe this was a french Canadian/Québéc ad. So hey technically a north American ad, just in french?
Is the Sonic ice cream commercial on this list? Y'know, the one where Robotnik straight-up kidnaps Sonic and Tails and forces them to partake in his bizarre lightbulb fetish?
90s commercials are off the rails

That does sound like something the American branch would have wanted to do. I mean, they were trying to get a SatAM game made.

S O N I C 0 6
History would’ve been completely different as we know it
@@grimpaper Now Sega wants you to forget Sally.
As a brazilian, that one brazilian sonic and tails voice was every single cartoon character's voice at that time
That's terrifying ngl, World of Woody Woodpecker...
i feel like the only person in the entire universe to actually love the hell out of sonic spinball is that bad

Sega's magnum opus was the sonic adventure ad where sonic fell off an airplane and crashlanded into a rainforest
It was found a Is currently own by a native american tribe
I love that ad.

When you said "its time for sonic 3" i got a dragon ball ad
“Hey kid, what’re you doing watching this STUPID film?”
The film makers: 😶
Ur so underrated bro ur videos seem to have so much effort I subbed a day ago and honestly ur sonic content is amazing keep up the good work 👍
Sonic- JUST FOLLOW MY LEAD
Sonic:HEY,COME ON!

I’m not sure which is worse, the fact the little brother is being punished for trading old sonic games, or the advertisement for the sega genesis attaching to the genesis 32x.
5:43 that caught me SO off guard you have no idea
Agreed lmfao
Are we gonna talk about how smooth the animation is ?
Taht “hey cmon” goes hard 0:06
This was a great video on seeing Sonic advertisements. Hope there will be a part 2 of this. Along with a video about Super Mario advertisements
Literally confirmed to me that subbing was the correct decision after I heard the monster seeking monster last night music
7:00 collision.
2:06 pov :don’t talk with strangers
5:40 says "im sonic, and that's my friend tails, we are in the sonic 2 game. Don't keep standing there hehe"
That Sonic Mania Collector's Edition commercial sure did tap into the nostalgia of 90s commercials.
We need more videos about Sonic Promos like the Shadow The Hedgehog Japanese Commercials
5:40 a brazilian sonic ad? i didnt expect that
translation
"Hello! im sonic and this is my friend tails, play my game sonic 2, dont just stay there!"
lol
HELP WHAT WERE THESE 32X COMMERCIALS DOING😭
Maaan I’m still trying to find this one obscure Sonic commercial that I’ve only seen twice.

7:52 what i hear is:
pilot: is there another scene? (this wording seems weird? maybe im hearing it wrong)
kid: check!
pilot: and the new 3d stage?
kid: check!
(kiro talks over them here)
pilot: here we go! (drops cartridges)
announcer: the new sonic 3
U have 4 videos and you’re already a top 2 sonic content creator imo
Dang, I appreciate it 🙏 I wanna tackle more than Sonic though, so stay tuned
Man, these commercials are crazy. My favorite ones are the food ones, makes me wanna eat.
Pretty sure that UK Sonic 1 commercial in the beginning was an Australian one
I remember that Honey Nut Cheerios commercial. What a shame that they didn't floss in it.
Imagine if the lock-on tech worked on Knuckles Chaotix as well to unlock Sonic & Tails. You'd really have a daisy chain going.
kiro talks brightens my day no matter what i love you kiro
Really great content! I'm happily subscribed from the first video I saw! I hope your videos rise quickly like sonic!
Your content deserves more attention! I mean 618 subs! With the amount of effort you put into videos with research and editing.
we need things like these in sonic origins
hey Kiro!! love you’r sonic vids bro pls keep making them!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

5:00 I mean i would be terrified if a giant mustached man was looking at me.
The European Sonic 3 cover is almost like a missing link between classic Sonic and Aventure Era Sonic.
About that weird animated Sonic 2 commercial where Sonic and Tails can speak, I am a native Spanish speaker and I can't even understand the commercial (yes, it's Spanish)!
Your editing style is hilarious
5:40 as a brazilian seeing a Brazilian sonic comercial in this video caught me off guard
Technically, Sega invented DLC with Lock on Technology.
tru
And one of the only physical DLCs.
7:20 actually, they put amy's name as sally on purpose due to the sonic satAM cartoon being famous or something like that, and they were changing her name in ceirtain places.

"SONIC 3 IS SO EPIC YOU WILL NOT ONLY HAVE A KIDNEY STONE BUT BRAIN DAMEGE TO!!!!"
5:40
*Translation*
Sonic: I am Sonic, and this is my friend, Tails. We are in Sonic 2 game.
Don't stand there!
10:26 this had me laughing my ass off idk why
i just found out about this guy now ima watch every video

Those consoles make my muscles involuntarily flex.
My favorite was the 2 consoles going hard on the bed.
These ads were wacky to see and there's so much interesting history behind them
9:13 wtf bro made me laugh so hard
3:12 Sounds like a Glenn Quagmire Voice
I love that Russian two-page spread for Sonic 2 that says Video-Ass in the bottom left
(Maybe it stands for video accessory or something, but still - Video Ass)
Also, surprised you didn't mention the whole Sonic/Right Said Fred Wonderman connection.
Congratulations For 500 Subs!

as a brazilian, i can say that definitely like 90s cartoon from there, also the goofy ahh drawing
Dude this is some good editing jesus
BRO THESE VIDEOS ARE EXCELLENT *I NEED MORE*
8:09 oh yeah, a crossover between Sonic and Bill Murray in groundhog day
I saw your sonic sequel video and instantly got hooked on your channel lol
I just subscribed! I’ve officially watched 100% of your videos, what an ordeal!😫Keep it up!
at 9:31 I almost died of laughter
2:43 He did not just confuse Australia for the UK?
> Australian accent
> prices in dollars
This must be one of those European commercials I keep hearing about.
2:52 Why the heck are they making all that noise over Sonic?
5:40 This is why classic sonic didn’t talk in sonic generations.
This video will be awesome I’m a new fan btw
The cutscienes before talking about the next is golden
The best part of that Blast Processing commercial is that it read to the best GD level.
It's funny, because I've only ever seen that Super Mario World vs Sonic The Hedgehog commercial via VHS rips uploaded to youtube (was a liiittle bit before my time), where the video quality just makes them look exactly the same.
