Not Spider-Man I’ve watched it around 25-35 times that’s not a joke by the way I watch this video every now and then since 5 years ago when I first watched it
Watching this in 2020 I had a funny revelation. Blaze was from another dimension and 06 retconned it to make her from the future. Classic Sonic was from the past and Forces retconned it to make him from another dimension.
I agree. Humans in a Sonic game should either be as cartoony as the regular cast or omitted from the setting outright. Hell, I'd even tolerate, to a degree, the kinda weird Elise to Sonic thing if it was done in a more non-realistic art style (Side note: I would think that Sonic is most likely to remain single or, if built up and written well enough, maybe end up falling for Amy, even with her stalker-ish tendencies and actions). It's a fair point to say that realism is probably not suited for something that is rooted in being unrealistic, ; IE, a super fast, blue hedgehog that defeats robots powered by little woodland creatures captured by an evil scientist that has a huge mustache and an egg-shaped body.
Amy: [hugs Shadow] Sonic! Shadow: Who? Amy: Oh, you're not Sonic. [some years later...] Amy: [hugs Silver] Sonic! Silver: Who? Amy: Oh, you're not Sonic. Shadow: Honestly at this point, I'm surprised she didn't try hugging Knuckles. Knuckles: It happened off screen. Amy: Black Sonic, Red Sonic, I'd like you to meet White Sonic. Silver: I'm Silver. Amy: Silver Sonic is a robot, silly! Knuckles: Now I know why Sonic went after the princess. Amy: HE DID WHAT?
19:49 Just gonna leave this timestamp here for myself. The way Johnny says "Sonic DIES." amuses the hell outta me. Because this game needed a totally dark and out-of-nowhere twist.
@@annramirez1740 ...... NO. Not. At. All. That just would make it a million times worse, it would mean that each and every single time they time traveled to the past, they've been creating completely new timelines, which makes everything even more implausible
@@santiagonovoa9230 This game has no rules with Time Travel. Across all the people I’ve argued with (…admittedly aggressively) at least one guy said it follows “Sonic CD/Back to the Future logic” and another said it follows “Time Travel B logic”. You know it’s bad when you can’t get a consistent explanation across those who defend this abomination of a story (worse than anything the Adventure Games or even what Pontac and Graff brought to the table.). It’s supposedly set up as Sonic CD logic, but if it was… then Sonic would be wiped from existence for Saving Elise as events going back to Sonic and Co. finding that bunker and the news and Elise would have changed drastically. You can’t just change the rules with Time Travel. You have to keep it consistent and clear for the audience no matter what.
So no one did anything because they wanted to get rid of her? ... huh... I, uh... actually, given how incompetent she seems to be at anything but possibly basic breathing capabilities (... not _entirely_ sure on that though)... huh. That would actually _legitimately_ make sense... xD
AGuyOnAnApp #1 Well, while Sonic Boom is bad, it isn’t as bad as Sonic ‘06. NOTHING is as bad as Sonic ‘06. Well, no Sonic game anyways. But the sonic boom series, in my opinion, still pretty bad. Don’t know about the cartoon though. Might be the only good thing about it.
EDIT: 2023 and here I am again...man. Johnny is one of the few RUclipsrs where I can go back to watching videos that are this old, but still hold up just as much as his more recent reviews. Mad respect Johnny.
ThatOneGuitarGuy 98 More like they screwed themselves over by making a deal with Microsoft to have the game made before Christmas. Although that leaves one thing unanswered. Who's fault was it that the game was rushed? Microsoft for wanting the game before Christams, or SEGA for making the deal.
Man this "Princess" Elise has been captured more times in this game than Princess Peach has in her entire life. Also Elise is without a doubt the WORST character in Sonic history.
***** Play Paper Mario, you. I love how you throw around accusations when it's clear you don't possess enough knowledge to back it up. What a moron, amirite everybody?
***** I was just having some fun. I know there is a lot of Mario games, but the Princess did try to escape in the Thousand Year Door and she was playable in the sequel. I think people should just be more considerate to Peach. Everyone is always insulting her and her character, but it is up to the writers whether or not she gets a role in the story. Anyway, you should check out Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, if you like RPGs. One of my favorites for sure.
***** Well, I believe she gets kidnapped in that one too so you might not like it. I can't remember exactly, but I know you play as her where I think she tries to escape but can't or maybe it was to collect information. I just don't want to get your hopes up. There's always Mario 2 if you want to play as her and Super Paper Mario, but that game isn't as good as the other 2.
Things I actually liked in Sonic 06: The prerendered cinematics are really nice to look at. I love the design of Egg Cerberus, it's a huge robotic dog, it looks awesome. Shadow roundhouse kicks Silver and I love it. It introduced Silver, who is one of my favorite Sonic characters. THE SOUNDTRACK IS BEAUTIFUL.
Gotta agree on the Egg Cerberus. I liked the design of most mechanical things in 06. The artstyle was a weird choice but it works well for the Eggman boss mechs even if they do feel a bit generic.
@@elliottracer35 The problems of this game go well beyond being unfinished. A lot of the level design being ass, the story being a poorly written mess, and having way too many characters with some of them being horrendous to play as. Being unfinished is just one in a huge myriad of big issues this game has This game at its core is terrible and objectively so. You show this game in game designing classes if you want an example of how NOT to design a game.
If a seven year old can cry from tripping and falling, stubbing their toe, taking a shot from a doctor, or getting bitten by someone, then a seven year old can sure as hell cry after losing both his or her parents at such young age, and being sheltered most of his or her life. Guess Princess Elise never gave a shit about her parents to begin with if she was able to not shed a tear *ONCE* for *TEN YEARS*. The whole "tears being essential for Iblis's release" thing just sounds fan-fictiony. Who came up with such a silly pre-requisite? Why couldn't it have been something more logical, like say, her *DEATH*?
chimanruler15 I never got the feeling that she barely knew her parents, especially her father. From the flashbacks, it seems that they were very close.
I was 13 when i first watched this video. Now 24, living on my own, waiting to get married and still an avid watcher of somecallmejohnny along with being a dedicated sonic fan. Some things never change and I'm glad John hasn't either.
Sega story writer: "Okay guys the next Sonic game is gonna have time travel, a hedgehog version of Satan, and bestiality. Seem good? Alright, pass the bong"
One tiny insignificant thing I will defend about this game is that Johnny kind of misunderstood the whole deal with Shadow sealing Mephiles. It's supposed to be a stable time loop. Shadow was the one who sealed Mephiles away because he went back in time to seal Mephiles away. And he went back in time to seal Mephiles away because he went back in time to seal Mephiles away. He never actually left Prison Island during his hibernation. So yeah, still dumb, but not quite as dumb as Johnny thought.
@@carlbloke8797 that would not be true. Time travel in this game is portrayed like a physical travel, meaning that Shadow would be sleeping in SA2, then in S06 he would physically travel back in time, retaining everything from S06, do stuff and go back to the future. There would temporarely be two instsances of Shadow during SA2 and none (very possibly) during a brief part in S06. It's not something like Zero Escape and Steins Gate, where the concept of time travel was focused on only the consciousness being sent through time.
@@carlbloke8797 You misunderstand. It's based on a "static" idea of time and time travel. Read, the kind where the future, present and past are set in stone, _and_ you are able to go to the past and "exist twice" at the same time. ... ... ... Thiiis then of course begs the question why Sonic & crew don't get the idea to use time travel to have 700 Chaos Emeralds along with a hundred Sonics, Silvers and Shadows to annihilate the shit out of their foes, but hey. ... and of course they fucked this over _in its entirety_ by _then_ having the final cutscene of the game involving time travel which _DOES_ change the timeline, *_BUT HEY... WHATEVER..._*_ cries_ PS: Fun side note... Silver brought a blue Chaos Emerald from the future. *_THERE ARE EIGHT CHAOS EMERALDS IN THIS GAME AND THE WRITERS DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE._*
Thank you, someone finally said what I've meaning to for a while, and better too. I always honestly felt Johnny's explanation of Shadow sealing Mephiles to be, well, pretty fucking stupid, actually. Like you said, stable time loop. Its the only time I feel like the game is halfway competent in explaining time travel, but I digress.
This video is now a decade old today. Still rewatching after all these years. Glad Johnny is still making vids for us after all this time, and I'm glad he's been getting even better over the years.
Shilvergreen seriously, it is the best part of the game. I played through the whole damn thing and the only thing better is the fact that you can meme up a lot of shit about this game
So blowing out the flame means she would never have met Sonic. So does that me she would have no memories of him. oh god time travel is so complicated. Back to the Future did it right
Well I have a theory. Blaze went to that alternative dimension in 06. Then she came back from an alternate dimension in rush. That’s how in rivals eggman nega is able to be from the future.
You messed up on the Time Travelling explanation. The Shadow that was locked up never escaped. The Shadow that sealed Mesphiles was the same Shadow from the present that went to the past, thus causing a Time Loop. A Time Loop is when a person from the present of future causes a very important event in the past that comes from time travelling, however because their influence was so important in their original time line regardless, the future/present version of that being doesn't change anything that happened, since he was the cause of it in the first, regardless of where his past self is. So basically, Shadow 10 years ago was still frozen, the Shadow that sealed Mesphiles was the Shadow in the present. Because the Present Shadow went back to the present, and his past self was left to grow, it created a Time Loop where Shadow is always destined to go back in time and do those important things.
Good thinking, personaly i think something else but if what are saying is true then shadows purpose was to go back in time to seal mephilis right? well he couldnt really do that the first time i think, i mean the cycle shouldve started somewhere so the very first time this happened shadow didnt come back immediately, that happened later. And since shadow had gone back in time, wouldnt that radicly change the future? since mephilis wouldve been roaming around the first time it happened when he didnt get sealed, and then if shadow would return the second time it happened when mephilis DID get sealed, the mephilis that didnt get sealed should vanish as soon as shadow goes back to seal mephilis for the very first time.
Holy shit, this game is ten years old.......and that still hasn't stopped people from tearing it to shreds (myself included). Happy 10th anniversary, Sonic 06!
Sonic's 10th anniversary: Sonic Adventure 2. Has been critically praised as "the best" Sonic game. Sonic's 15th anniversary: Sonic 2006. A game that had lots of potential, but with wasted effort. Sonic's 20th anniversary: Sonic Generations. A game that's pure fanservice for both old and new fans alike. Bringing back Sonic to what he was best known for. Sonic's 25th anniversary: ....Uh oh.
+Pit ピット I really don't think this franchise will survive one more blunder like this and since Sonic is the only Sega franchise alive, his death means no more Sega.
Levobertus When the 2010's came, SEGA decided to work only on their "strong" IPs and the result was Aliens Colonial Marines, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric and Bayonetta 2 almost being cancelled before Nintendo went to save it.
10 years since the release of this feels crazy, especially since it feels like it were only yesterday that I had first seen it. Here's to another decade of great content!
Wait wait wait...if Silver left his Emerald from the future with Elise and that's how she has it... ...WOULDN'T THERE BE TWO BLUE CHAOS EMERALDS?! One from the present and one from the "future" technically?! Holy shit Eggman, how did you miss that?!
@@zeroattentiongaming820 No. Based on the kind of time travel this game uses (... except for when they destroyed their concept by having Elise and Sonic be able to change the past by blowing out baby Solaris), you could go to the past and meet yourself. And Silver brought that blue Chaos Emerald from the future to the present, in addition to the blue Chaos Emerald that was already in the present. *_YES. That's right. This game has eight Chaos Emeralds and the writers didn't even notice._*
@@AniGaAG Its got more than 8. Sonic and Shadow find 2 Emeralds in the _fucking_ *future* and bring them back to the present, where those same Emeralds past equivalents are around...somewhere. Fucking Christ this story sometimes.
I've actually thought of something similar to that. Imagine you have a gold bar. You go to the future to get another one. Then, you go back in time with the gold bar from the future. There would be two bars, but after a while, the original will go away because the you from the past comes back to pick it up. You cannot create matter. That is the rule.
So Theory: The Reason that Sonic 06 is in Generations despite the many issues with that is because 06 is part of a completely different timeline that got merged when the Time Eater Struck. This also explains the Secret Rings reference and Music from Non-Canon Games.
No, the actual explanation is Generations could honestly not give less of a fuck about any kind of story or interesting writing. Having 06 representation in of itself doesn't bother me at all. It's the complete lack of writing and attention to detail that Generations is. That and it's so Goddamn overrated on top of it.
you wanna know my favorite part about this entire game? when you reach the credits in sonic generations and it reaches sonic 06 and it gets to the mach speed section, you can see the lives counter go down and then go back up, likely meaning that the player got a gameover!
It's a tradition to come back to this video every once in a while. Can't believe it's been over a decade. I remember being so excited seeing this finally get uploaded during this Sonic marathon back in 2013. Legitimately one of the best game reviews on this whole site.
This is how the game should be remade: 1.No glitches or bugs 2.Keep the original OST and maybe add some new ones 3.Change the story a little bit to make it more fluent 4.Don't rush the creation of this game 5.Release it for ALL systems 6.Add some elements from the new Sonic games 7.No long loading 8.Change and improve Elise's character Anything else?
You can polish a turd till it shines, but then all you have is a shiny turd. Its not glitches and story that ruined this game, it was terribly designed.
And the one enjoyable part I found in the entire game was when Shadow kicked Silver in the head. I still go back to this game because I can tell myself "Just wade through it and you'll get to the best part Meli, just suck it up."
Ha! I like it. One of my favorite memories is seeing an abusive horse owner get kicked in the face and go into agonal breathing (we gave him cpr and he lived). That probably makes me a bad person, but, hey! The world needs a few of us. And that shit was hilarious.
If you legitimately hated someone, you need to make sure they hate it before you give it to them. Force them to spend 4 hours watching this review and then Clement's review, and _then_ send them the game XD
Woodsy the III Eh, probably depends on the person. For me, I actually enjoyed most of my first playthrough somehow, even though it was in 2010. Well, besides Silver's stupid billiard puzzle... Anyway, for someone like me, a legitimate review of a bad game often makes it less fun for me.
True. This may be the worst Sonic game, but to me, it's got the best soundtrack. The rest of the game needed to be as good as the soundtrack. But, I guess that would've taken an entire overhaul, according to another commentor. But, THIS is the best part of the Sonic Marathon, Johnny's reviews.
Also, at least Peach can fight! Look at Super Mario RPG, she's a powerful mage. Look at Super Princess Peach, SHE'S THE HERO! Elise is the worse princess of all video games.
wasn't beastiality, it was a kiss that was mostly censored by a beam of light. although still being highly questionable, to call it beastiality is a heavy exaggeration.
i know. i wasn't really a fan of all that at all. would've made sense for Amy to be the vessel to seal iblis because then the romance wouldn't be all tacky and there'd be some actual development for amy. tho that would open up some more plot holes that may need further thinking to plug.
How the hell was Silver with the rest of the characters after Sonic died? Right before Sonic died he returned to the future. He sealed Iblis and saved his timeline. He had no reason to return and yet he is inexplicably there!
As bad as this plot is, I'm gonna throw this out there in regard to Shadow and Mephiles' relationship. Given that our present time as of then Shadow traveled back to that point in time, one can argue that there existed two Shadows. The one still in a cryogenic stasis, and the one that wasn't and sealed Mephiles. It's one of those paradoxical sort of deals. Like a sort of Quantum Causality. Like with Omega showing up in the future. Omega actually being the Omega we see in the future, who was set to reactivate in said future.(God this gives headaches like hell) Long story short, Shadow wasn't meant to seal Mephiles. But history dictates that he travels back in time and seals Mephiles. It HAS to happen. Otherwise, history becomes forever altered, and distortions begin to show up. Again, the stories shit. But I've scene time travel used enough to get a good enough handle on how the concept works
He already mentioned nobody seems to care about Paradoxes (Namely Silver and Mephiles himself). Actually Solaris appeared ONLY because there was a time paradox (No wonder the world got destroyed right after that!).
...this really isn't hard to understand? Have any of you ever watched a Time Travel story before? Shadow is still in cryogenic stasis, but the FUTURE SHADOW comes back to the past to Seal Mephilis. That's it. That's all it is. There's no paradox. Two separate Shadows existing at the same point in time. HOW ARE PEOPLE TRIPPED UP BY THIS?
@@carlbloke8797 Search up "Stable time loop" on TV Trope, please, there was 2 shadow, one of them was in a cryogenic state, and another work for GUN and is from the future
Here's the thing... Boom is a spin off.. not a main entry sonic game. Sonic 06 IS a main title... a game to celebrate the 15TH ANNIVERSERY OF SONIC THE FUCKING HEDGEHOG!!
+Kuma Gamer the 15th anniversary was just not good for Sonic, when your "best" games in 2006 are racing games, that's when you need to rethink your life choices.
+Kuma Gamer it's based on the fact that it COULD'VE been better, and yeah, I agree it could have; but nothing can change that, it is what it is.. and what it is, is a piece of shit.
Also, regarding Elise kissing Sonic, logically, wouldn't Amy proceed to beat the shit out of Elise with her hammer that she keeps in "Cartoony Pockets Land?"
***** Like Sonic leaving Elise alone in a castle. My word, that was a stupid decision. At first glance, the decision may seem sensible. If Elise were in that castle, the Eggman couldn't get to her without hurting her...but that would make things even *worse*. While Eggman can be rash sometimes, he wouldn't go and do something so incredibly stupid. Why would he try to get to Elise when he could simply force her out, which is (surprise, surprise) what he does near the end of the last story? Oh, and bonus points for Amy making the same stupid mistake in Silver's story. I've already told you how Elise's complete lack of authority in the entire game makes her a pathetic excuse of a princess, but I'm going to briefly mention it to list it as another example of Sonic 2006 stupidity.
***** Like Johnny said "Anyone can use chaos powers if they believe hard enough" So just like Elise, Amy can have an emerald charged kiss. Also what is wrong with fanservice you want to please your fans don't you.
the one thing I always ask myself is that. srsly even though I hate amy, I would still prefer that amy be the only person to love sonic, and it was just illogical for her not to fuck her up, i mean her hammer materializes out of fucking nowhere whenever she uses it so why not just knock that bitch into the endless void that they were literally right next to?
We need to appreciate that over a decade later Johnny is still going strong. I still remember when this video dropped back in the day, and I’m glad to see it’s been seen by millions of people
So, something I didn't notice when I played the game, due to not knowing the first time I played it and not paying attention the second time. Elise *will not be a queen*. If her father is the Duke and the authority of Soleanna, that makes Soleanna a Duchy, not a kingdom, meaning that Elise would become a Duchess, not a Queen. Someone at Sonic Team didn't do the (very easy) research... which I suppose isn't surprising with this game
Coupled with this and The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, these are some of the best, unbiased, and very accurate reviews of games I believe people either over exaggerate or completely overlook
+mach6247 He's looking from both sides and looking at the games from the easiest way possible, the average Joe mentality. His way of reviewing isn't for diehard fans despite that possibly some of his fans may be, it's made for people as if they're watching these videos for the first time, so for the most part, he's keeping a subdued attitude with a few exceptions like this game and Super Mario Sunshine.
I remember being so hyped to play this as a kid. I went on fansites every day after school just to see if any new information had been released, listening to the soundtrack, and watching the game trailers over and over again. Lo and behold, on Christmas Day 2008, I received my white 360, Sonic '06, and Sonic Unleashed. Eager to play the game I'd been frothing at the mouth to experience for two whole years, I booted up Sonic '06... and it was one of the worst experiences of my short life. Fortunately for me, I found Sonic Unleashed to be quite good, and I had a ton of fun with it. I'm very thankful my father decided to get both games, otherwise that Christmas would have been nearly ruined.
Sonic '06 was the first sonic game i ever played, as well as the first game i ever played on the ps3. i personally really enjoyed it, despite its flaws. when i was a small child, i didn't really understand how everything works and thought the glitches were just part of the difficulty, and i also really thought all the story elements were cool. even to this day, seeing all the criticisms people have of this game, how much people hate it, i still feel that slight bit of hype when reaching certain moments in the game, such as mephiles's release, his battles, the final battle with eggman, the final battle with iblis and the last episode. except for the kiss. that's the one part i can say i genuinely hated about the game. and the mach speed section in crisis city hard mode. trying to get an S on that was hell.
Been on a rewatch of all the Johnny Vs videos and I happened to start rewatching this one exactly ten years after it was first uploaded. I can't believe I was here when it was first uploaded and am back once again. Thank you so much for all the years of entertainment, Johnny. You'll always be an inspiration to me.
funnily enough, people consider Rise of Lyric worse than this. Here's the thing. Rise of Lyric had no pressure on it, it's a spin-off. 06 is part of the main canon (well it has been since Generations) and not only that, the 15th anniversary title. how is it worse than Rise of Lyric? even if the game has as many glitches and bugs, it's somewhat got a more coherent story and a lot less serious than 06.
rise of lyric was kinda worse to begin with. first, Sega didn't notify big red button that they were developing the game for the wii u until they were in the middle of development. second, there was pressure from the hype the game had already built up. third, they didn't decide to port the game to an engine that was actually compatible with the wii u. and finally, a slow paced beat em up with sonic just doesn't work. I mean I see where you are coming from with that statement considering there is a much more complete bug free build of sonic 06 in sega's archives that they couldn't get to run. But a least sonic 06 had the chance to be good where as rise of lyric was going to be worse right from the get go
ThatOneGuitarGuy 98 well sonic the fighters is not a beat em up it's a slow paced fighting game. A beat em up is something like streets of rage. basically what we call action adventure games now a days.
ThatOneGuitarGuy 98 true those games are classics of the Sega genesis' library I hate even comparing them to rise of lyric but they're in the same category. But if there's two things at least decent about the sonic boom series it's the tv show and fire and ice.
SEGA was on a deadline by Microsoft. They wanted to delay the game, but Microsoft wouldn't let them. andrearitsu.wordpress.com/2015/08/01/just-how-did-sonic-2006-happen/
First at night during the ceremony. Second Sonic faces Silver for the first time. Third at her palace. Fourth 2nd eilver fight. Fifth At her palace (again). Sixth she surrenders. ... All in the space of 1.5 days.
Mamaspeeder considering SEGA wont be at this years E3 for obvious reasons, I think we all know his next game will be in 2016 for Sonics 25th anniversary. HOLD ME!
You know, on the subject of voice acting, I actually find Shadow's voice to be quite good in this game. Then again, anything is better than Kirk Thornton voicing Shadow. Don't misunderstand me, I still enjoy Thornton as characters such as Saix, but a good Shadow he is not.
I know alot of people are gonna get pissy with me, but I couldn't help but think of this when Tails appeared in Forces. More specifically when he bonded with Classic Sonic
13:20 This entire part irritates me. Surely we've all played enough games / watched movies to know time travel works? Shadow WAS still frozen and the Shadow that captured Mephiles was the same Shadow that travelled back in time in the game. Mephiles knew him because it had already happened in the time stream, but Shadow had yet to go back in time to make it happen, but it had already happened. SA2 Shadow has nothing to do with this game, he was frozen and that's it.
My sister is OBSESSED with Sonic the Hedgehog. In fact, our mom said we could pick out a game Any game. ANY. GAME. And she chose Sonic 06 because she thought everyone who hated it were just stupid haters who couldn't play it because of glitches that happened TO THEM, and she wanted to prove them wrong. EDIT: I was kinda mad when I made this, and I regret what I said. It's not like she could've known the game sucked before she played it. She saw a bunch of hate for the game and wanted to see for herself if it was bad.
He probably knows that among people who are obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog are notably people with autism. Even so, it's still a bad assumption to make -_-

Watching this in 2020 I had a funny revelation.
Blaze was from another dimension and 06 retconned it to make her from the future.
Classic Sonic was from the past and Forces retconned it to make him from another dimension.
Forces classic sonic was a different classic sonic from generations classic sonic. Generations classic sonic was sonic of the his past
Caleb Williams Nope, they literally reference Sonic Generations at one point, Forces Classic Sonic is Generations Classic Sonic
Which only means one thing!
Another Dimension = Different Time Period.
Kevin Marin I guess either classic sonic really is from a different dimension or tails just doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Another dimension, time travel, they’re the same thing right?
(This is sarcasm)
I don't mind humans in Sonic, they just need to look cartoony or anime-esque to work. Like how Unleashed & Sonic X did it.
Riley The Enderguy Yeah, but non-anthropomorphic animals are dumb in Sonic.
Shining Mudkip I find that a bit questionable too, but I don't mind it too much.
I agree. Humans in a Sonic game should either be as cartoony as the regular cast or omitted from the setting outright.
Hell, I'd even tolerate, to a degree, the kinda weird Elise to Sonic thing if it was done in a more non-realistic art style (Side note: I would think that Sonic is most likely to remain single or, if built up and written well enough, maybe end up falling for Amy, even with her stalker-ish tendencies and actions).
It's a fair point to say that realism is probably not suited for something that is rooted in being unrealistic,
; IE, a super fast, blue hedgehog that defeats robots powered by little woodland creatures captured by an evil scientist that has a huge mustache and an egg-shaped body.
Craig Kuhlman Yeah, I don't mind Sonic being paired up with a human. It's how they executed it that makes it bad.
I agree too. Sonic should be around with his kind more; kind of like how the comics do it!

true xDDDD
Fizzyapple413 and the OST
Ink PixelZ True, gotta give Sega that.
They were left with 6 bucks, 24 cents, and a few Chuck E. Cheese tokens.
Those few pence left was used on the music!

Because this game needed a totally dark and out-of-nowhere twist.

The most enjoyable part for me in this game is when Omega shoots Mephiles and he just kinda rag dolls xD

Assuming if she knows how to use a gun of course.
They could've have guards or gun agents to protect her

This game has no rules with Time Travel. Across all the people I’ve argued with (…admittedly aggressively) at least one guy said it follows “Sonic CD/Back to the Future logic” and another said it follows “Time Travel B logic”.
You know it’s bad when you can’t get a consistent explanation across those who defend this abomination of a story (worse than anything the Adventure Games or even what Pontac and Graff brought to the table.).
It’s supposedly set up as Sonic CD logic, but if it was… then Sonic would be wiped from existence for Saving Elise as events going back to Sonic and Co. finding that bunker and the news and Elise would have changed drastically. You can’t just change the rules with Time Travel. You have to keep it consistent and clear for the audience no matter what.
Why does nobody care that Elise has been abducted? Politics. That's why.
So no one did anything because they wanted to get rid of her?
... huh... I, uh... actually, given how incompetent she seems to be at anything but possibly basic breathing capabilities (... not _entirely_ sure on that though)... huh. That would actually _legitimately_ make sense... xD

AGuyOnAnApp #1 Well, while Sonic Boom is bad, it isn’t as bad as Sonic ‘06. NOTHING is as bad as Sonic ‘06. Well, no Sonic game anyways. But the sonic boom series, in my opinion, still pretty bad. Don’t know about the cartoon though. Might be the only good thing about it.

The part where Eggmans talking to Elise about being kidnapped so many times is the funniest shit of all time
A coffee,
a soda
And a beer

ThatOneGuitarGuy 98 That's not what Sega was intending for Elise and Sonic.
ThatOneGuitarGuy 98 From what I gathered, it was/is meant to be a close friendship (Not love, but really close friends).
That would make sense, though. As Sonic's the only friend she naturally has.
ThatOneGuitarGuy 98 More like they screwed themselves over by making a deal with Microsoft to have the game made before Christmas.
Although that leaves one thing unanswered. Who's fault was it that the game was rushed? Microsoft for wanting the game before Christams, or SEGA for making the deal.
I know what the beer and coffee is for but what can the soda do to help?

Man this "Princess" Elise has been captured more times in this game than Princess Peach has in her entire life.
Also Elise is without a doubt the WORST character in Sonic history.
*****
Then why doesn't Elise just have her own guards protect her...Actually, I think I just answered my own question.
***** Play Paper Mario, you. I love how you throw around accusations when it's clear you don't possess enough knowledge to back it up. What a moron, amirite everybody?
***** I was just having some fun. I know there is a lot of Mario games, but the Princess did try to escape in the Thousand Year Door and she was playable in the sequel. I think people should just be more considerate to Peach. Everyone is always insulting her and her character, but it is up to the writers whether or not she gets a role in the story. Anyway, you should check out Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, if you like RPGs. One of my favorites for sure.
DashieSparkle No problem. Just feel bad for Peach always getting picked on.
***** Well, I believe she gets kidnapped in that one too so you might not like it. I can't remember exactly, but I know you play as her where I think she tries to escape but can't or maybe it was to collect information. I just don't want to get your hopes up. There's always Mario 2 if you want to play as her and Super Paper Mario, but that game isn't as good as the other 2.
Things I actually liked in Sonic 06:
The prerendered cinematics are really nice to look at.
I love the design of Egg Cerberus, it's a huge robotic dog, it looks awesome.
Shadow roundhouse kicks Silver and I love it.
It introduced Silver, who is one of my favorite Sonic characters.
THE SOUNDTRACK IS BEAUTIFUL.
TheSaltyZoroark Silver is literally the most OP character in sonic (aside from shadow and sonic)
TheSaltyZoroark same!! We played this at kids,, y would we think about the plot that much??
And the glitches are hilarious.
Agreed.
Gotta agree on the Egg Cerberus. I liked the design of most mechanical things in 06. The artstyle was a weird choice but it works well for the Eggman boss mechs even if they do feel a bit generic.

This game in my opinion isn’t bad and ugly. It’s just unfinished
TheSplatoonInkling very unfinished, the story isn’t really bad, except Elise.
@@elliottracer35 The problems of this game go well beyond being unfinished. A lot of the level design being ass, the story being a poorly written mess, and having way too many characters with some of them being horrendous to play as. Being unfinished is just one in a huge myriad of big issues this game has
This game at its core is terrible and objectively so. You show this game in game designing classes if you want an example of how NOT to design a game.
If a seven year old can cry from tripping and falling, stubbing their toe, taking a shot from a doctor, or getting bitten by someone, then a seven year old can sure as hell cry after losing both his or her parents at such young age, and being sheltered most of his or her life. Guess Princess Elise never gave a shit about her parents to begin with if she was able to not shed a tear *ONCE* for *TEN YEARS*. The whole "tears being essential for Iblis's release" thing just sounds fan-fictiony. Who came up with such a silly pre-requisite? Why couldn't it have been something more logical, like say, her *DEATH*?
***** But after something as tragic as losing *both* your parents and becoming an orphan? She would've cried.
***** Children?
***** BTW Cool thumbnail.
TheBlue Typhoon17 To be fair, it seems she barely knew her parents. That, and having Sonic killed right in front of her eyes made her resolve break.
chimanruler15 I never got the feeling that she barely knew her parents, especially her father. From the flashbacks, it seems that they were very close.
I was 13 when i first watched this video. Now 24, living on my own, waiting to get married and still an avid watcher of somecallmejohnny along with being a dedicated sonic fan. Some things never change and I'm glad John hasn't either.
“For those of you unaware, Blaze the Cat debuted in Sonic Rush” Thank you Johnny from the right speaker only.
Sega story writer: "Okay guys the next Sonic game is gonna have time travel, a hedgehog version of Satan, and bestiality. Seem good? Alright, pass the bong"
I have no idea what the hell they are thinking when they are doing this game’s story.
This game’s story is ridiculous!!!
What the *FUCK* is a Sonic?!
Bong???? SHHHEEEEIIIIIIT more like pass the crack, needle and bathsalts
And this is why you don't let game developers go near DeviantArt.
And an attempted suicide by Elise.
One tiny insignificant thing I will defend about this game is that Johnny kind of misunderstood the whole deal with Shadow sealing Mephiles. It's supposed to be a stable time loop. Shadow was the one who sealed Mephiles away because he went back in time to seal Mephiles away. And he went back in time to seal Mephiles away because he went back in time to seal Mephiles away. He never actually left Prison Island during his hibernation.
So yeah, still dumb, but not quite as dumb as Johnny thought.
JageshemashFTW then that would mean the Shadow in 06 is a clone then which doesn’t make sense since they don’t explain it
@@carlbloke8797 that would not be true. Time travel in this game is portrayed like a physical travel, meaning that Shadow would be sleeping in SA2, then in S06 he would physically travel back in time, retaining everything from S06, do stuff and go back to the future. There would temporarely be two instsances of Shadow during SA2 and none (very possibly) during a brief part in S06. It's not something like Zero Escape and Steins Gate, where the concept of time travel was focused on only the consciousness being sent through time.
@@carlbloke8797 You misunderstand. It's based on a "static" idea of time and time travel. Read, the kind where the future, present and past are set in stone, _and_ you are able to go to the past and "exist twice" at the same time. ... ... ... Thiiis then of course begs the question why Sonic & crew don't get the idea to use time travel to have 700 Chaos Emeralds along with a hundred Sonics, Silvers and Shadows to annihilate the shit out of their foes, but hey.
... and of course they fucked this over _in its entirety_ by _then_ having the final cutscene of the game involving time travel which _DOES_ change the timeline, *_BUT HEY... WHATEVER..._*_ cries_
PS: Fun side note... Silver brought a blue Chaos Emerald from the future. *_THERE ARE EIGHT CHAOS EMERALDS IN THIS GAME AND THE WRITERS DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE._*
Thank you, someone finally said what I've meaning to for a while, and better too. I always honestly felt Johnny's explanation of Shadow sealing Mephiles to be, well, pretty fucking stupid, actually. Like you said, stable time loop. Its the only time I feel like the game is halfway competent in explaining time travel, but I digress.

You messed up on the Time Travelling explanation. The Shadow that was locked up never escaped. The Shadow that sealed Mesphiles was the same Shadow from the present that went to the past, thus causing a Time Loop.
A Time Loop is when a person from the present of future causes a very important event in the past that comes from time travelling, however because their influence was so important in their original time line regardless, the future/present version of that being doesn't change anything that happened, since he was the cause of it in the first, regardless of where his past self is.
So basically, Shadow 10 years ago was still frozen, the Shadow that sealed Mesphiles was the Shadow in the present. Because the Present Shadow went back to the present, and his past self was left to grow, it created a Time Loop where Shadow is always destined to go back in time and do those important things.
I was thinking the same thing
Good thinking, personaly i think something else but if what are saying is true then shadows purpose was to go back in time to seal mephilis right? well he couldnt really do that the first time i think, i mean the cycle shouldve started somewhere so the very first time this happened shadow didnt come back immediately, that happened later. And since shadow had gone back in time, wouldnt that radicly change the future? since mephilis wouldve been roaming around the first time it happened when he didnt get sealed, and then if shadow would return the second time it happened when mephilis DID get sealed, the mephilis that didnt get sealed should vanish as soon as shadow goes back to seal mephilis for the very first time.
Dennis van der Pluijm Yeah, a time loop always has to start somewhere. XD So it's possible there's a time line where Shadow never seal Mephelilis,

@@AniGaAG Its got more than 8. Sonic and Shadow find 2 Emeralds in the _fucking_ *future* and bring them back to the present, where those same Emeralds past equivalents are around...somewhere. Fucking Christ this story sometimes.
I've actually thought of something similar to that. Imagine you have a gold bar. You go to the future to get another one. Then, you go back in time with the gold bar from the future. There would be two bars, but after a while, the original will go away because the you from the past comes back to pick it up. You cannot create matter. That is the rule.

So Theory: The Reason that Sonic 06 is in Generations despite the many issues with that is because 06 is part of a completely different timeline that got merged when the Time Eater Struck. This also explains the Secret Rings reference and Music from Non-Canon Games.
No, the actual explanation is Generations could honestly not give less of a fuck about any kind of story or interesting writing. Having 06 representation in of itself doesn't bother me at all. It's the complete lack of writing and attention to detail that Generations is. That and it's so Goddamn overrated on top of it.

This is how the game should be remade:
1.No glitches or bugs
2.Keep the original OST and maybe add some new ones
3.Change the story a little bit to make it more fluent
4.Don't rush the creation of this game
5.Release it for ALL systems
6.Add some elements from the new Sonic games
7.No long loading
8.Change and improve Elise's character
Anything else?
boost system
Steps to remake this game
1. Don't
2. Rinse and Repeat
Remove Elise. SOLARIS STRONG.

True. This may be the worst Sonic game, but to me, it's got the best soundtrack. The rest of the game needed to be as good as the soundtrack. But, I guess that would've taken an entire overhaul, according to another commentor. But, THIS is the best part of the Sonic Marathon, Johnny's reviews.

...And then Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric looked at this game and said "Hold My Beer."
New DLBot2016 rise of lyric was shit, but at least it didn't have beastialty in it
wasn't beastiality, it was a kiss that was mostly censored by a beam of light. although still being highly questionable, to call it beastiality is a heavy exaggeration.
Kris Dreemurr yeah thats true, but you cant deny there are romantic undertones with sonic and Elise, its hard to miss
i know. i wasn't really a fan of all that at all. would've made sense for Amy to be the vessel to seal iblis because then the romance wouldn't be all tacky and there'd be some actual development for amy. tho that would open up some more plot holes that may need further thinking to plug.
Atleast Rise of Lyrics story makes WAY more sense than Next Gen's.
How the hell was Silver with the rest of the characters after Sonic died? Right before Sonic died he returned to the future. He sealed Iblis and saved his timeline. He had no reason to return and yet he is inexplicably there!
All the timelines merged past, present, & future to be consumed by solaris. Don't ask me how that works.

Whoever approved of this story should’ve been fired.
Because they needed all the hedgehogs to hold hands and become super saiyans to show how much they ripped off dragon ball
The story gave up
And it wasnt even doing a big effort before
Sonic fans in 2005: Wow this game is gonna be amazing.
Yuji Naka: Hold my beer.
As bad as this plot is, I'm gonna throw this out there in regard to Shadow and Mephiles' relationship.
Given that our present time as of then Shadow traveled back to that point in time, one can argue that there existed two Shadows. The one still in a cryogenic stasis, and the one that wasn't and sealed Mephiles.
It's one of those paradoxical sort of deals. Like a sort of Quantum Causality. Like with Omega showing up in the future. Omega actually being the Omega we see in the future, who was set to reactivate in said future.(God this gives headaches like hell)
Long story short, Shadow wasn't meant to seal Mephiles. But history dictates that he travels back in time and seals Mephiles.
It HAS to happen. Otherwise, history becomes forever altered, and distortions begin to show up.
Again, the stories shit. But I've scene time travel used enough to get a good enough handle on how the concept works
He already mentioned nobody seems to care about Paradoxes (Namely Silver and Mephiles himself). Actually Solaris appeared ONLY because there was a time paradox (No wonder the world got destroyed right after that!).
HikaruBaskerville ok but how were there two Shadows to begin with?
...this really isn't hard to understand? Have any of you ever watched a Time Travel story before?
Shadow is still in cryogenic stasis, but the FUTURE SHADOW comes back to the past to Seal Mephilis. That's it. That's all it is. There's no paradox. Two separate Shadows existing at the same point in time.
HOW ARE PEOPLE TRIPPED UP BY THIS?
UmbreonMessiah Shadow wouldn’t have any reason to want to seal mephiles when he WOULD NEVER WORK FOR GUN
@@carlbloke8797 Search up "Stable time loop" on TV Trope, please, there was 2 shadow, one of them was in a cryogenic state, and another work for GUN and is from the future
Here's the thing...
Boom is a spin off.. not a main entry sonic game.
Sonic 06 IS a main title... a game to celebrate the 15TH ANNIVERSERY OF SONIC THE FUCKING HEDGEHOG!!
And that's what made 06 bad. It was to celebrate 15 years of this franchise.
+Kuma Gamer the 15th anniversary was just not good for Sonic, when your "best" games in 2006 are racing games, that's when you need to rethink your life choices.
Nether let's plays what I can't understand is that people actually want 06 remade. Like, really?
+Kuma Gamer it's based on the fact that it COULD'VE been better, and yeah, I agree it could have; but nothing can change that, it is what it is.. and what it is, is a piece of shit.
You... do realize that plot got completely reset, right? So um... is that even canon, then?
Johnny -“Can’t believe it’s been a year already”
Me- “Can’t believe it’s been 7 years already”
So Elise apparently didn't cry when she found out her dad died but when sonic dies she fucking bursts into tears
Toysorama *Slow clapping*
+Toysorama I would too.
yeah that was dumb
This video has 2 million views, I'm so happy for John!
Also, regarding Elise kissing Sonic, logically, wouldn't Amy proceed to beat the shit out of Elise with her hammer that she keeps in "Cartoony Pockets Land?"
Well, it was the only thing to do, so Amy allowed it.
***** Like Sonic leaving Elise alone in a castle. My word, that was a stupid decision.
At first glance, the decision may seem sensible. If Elise were in that castle, the Eggman couldn't get to her without hurting her...but that would make things even *worse*. While Eggman can be rash sometimes, he wouldn't go and do something so incredibly stupid. Why would he try to get to Elise when he could simply force her out, which is (surprise, surprise) what he does near the end of the last story?
Oh, and bonus points for Amy making the same stupid mistake in Silver's story.
I've already told you how Elise's complete lack of authority in the entire game makes her a pathetic excuse of a princess, but I'm going to briefly mention it to list it as another example of Sonic 2006 stupidity.
*****
Amy can kiss him instead.
***** Like Johnny said "Anyone can use chaos powers if they believe hard enough" So just like Elise, Amy can have an emerald charged kiss. Also what is wrong with fanservice you want to please your fans don't you.
the one thing I always ask myself is that. srsly even though I hate amy, I would still prefer that amy be the only person to love sonic, and it was just illogical for her not to fuck her up, i mean her hammer materializes out of fucking nowhere whenever she uses it so why not just knock that bitch into the endless void that they were literally right next to?
We need to appreciate that over a decade later Johnny is still going strong. I still remember when this video dropped back in the day, and I’m glad to see it’s been seen by millions of people
Fr he a legend
So, something I didn't notice when I played the game, due to not knowing the first time I played it and not paying attention the second time.
Elise *will not be a queen*. If her father is the Duke and the authority of Soleanna, that makes Soleanna a Duchy, not a kingdom, meaning that Elise would become a Duchess, not a Queen.
Someone at Sonic Team didn't do the (very easy) research... which I suppose isn't surprising with this game
The review that made me subscribe to Johnny's channel. It's also probably my favourite review he's ever done.
Coupled with this and The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, these are some of the best, unbiased, and very accurate reviews of games I believe people either over exaggerate or completely overlook
+mach6247 He's looking from both sides and looking at the games from the easiest way possible, the average Joe mentality. His way of reviewing isn't for diehard fans despite that possibly some of his fans may be, it's made for people as if they're watching these videos for the first time, so for the most part, he's keeping a subdued attitude with a few exceptions like this game and Super Mario Sunshine.
+mach6247 So true. He is downright one of the best game reviewers I have seen on RUclips
+Pikachu Thirteen All his reviews are still accurate though
+Carl Bloke try worth a buy.
I remember being so hyped to play this as a kid. I went on fansites every day after school just to see if any new information had been released, listening to the soundtrack, and watching the game trailers over and over again. Lo and behold, on Christmas Day 2008, I received my white 360, Sonic '06, and Sonic Unleashed. Eager to play the game I'd been frothing at the mouth to experience for two whole years, I booted up Sonic '06... and it was one of the worst experiences of my short life. Fortunately for me, I found Sonic Unleashed to be quite good, and I had a ton of fun with it. I'm very thankful my father decided to get both games, otherwise that Christmas would have been nearly ruined.
I'm glad you enjoyed Unleashed :)
Sonic '06 was the first sonic game i ever played, as well as the first game i ever played on the ps3. i personally really enjoyed it, despite its flaws. when i was a small child, i didn't really understand how everything works and thought the glitches were just part of the difficulty, and i also really thought all the story elements were cool. even to this day, seeing all the criticisms people have of this game, how much people hate it, i still feel that slight bit of hype when reaching certain moments in the game, such as mephiles's release, his battles, the final battle with eggman, the final battle with iblis and the last episode. except for the kiss. that's the one part i can say i genuinely hated about the game. and the mach speed section in crisis city hard mode. trying to get an S on that was hell.
@@Busshhu shadow the hedgehog is bad if not worse though
why you taggin' me, your reply had nothing to do with what i said
@@Busshhu it does it's a comparison between the two games
Been on a rewatch of all the Johnny Vs videos and I happened to start rewatching this one exactly ten years after it was first uploaded. I can't believe I was here when it was first uploaded and am back once again. Thank you so much for all the years of entertainment, Johnny. You'll always be an inspiration to me.
21:00 "I don't care what happens to the world!"
SGB on his Let's Play: "You crazy bitch!"
blaze's sacrifice is mostly useless.
billie joe bass studios So... Would you say that IT'S NO USE?
Does that even explain how Blaze entered an alternate dimension?
Raheem Rohlehr Nope its not canon to rush
Fucking THIS!
2017 we still talk about this game
2099 still talking about this game
mankey .D lucky 2018 still talking about this game
Kleenex, man.
2012 really feels like yesterday
Dxrivs Shakur
Sonic was such an easy game to play
Now it looks like Iizuka’s here to stay
funnily enough, people consider Rise of Lyric worse than this. Here's the thing.
Rise of Lyric had no pressure on it, it's a spin-off. 06 is part of the main canon (well it has been since Generations) and not only that, the 15th anniversary title. how is it worse than Rise of Lyric? even if the game has as many glitches and bugs, it's somewhat got a more coherent story and a lot less serious than 06.
rise of lyric was kinda worse to begin with. first, Sega didn't notify big red button that they were developing the game for the wii u until they were in the middle of development. second, there was pressure from the hype the game had already built up. third, they didn't decide to port the game to an engine that was actually compatible with the wii u. and finally, a slow paced beat em up with sonic just doesn't work. I mean I see where you are coming from with that statement considering there is a much more complete bug free build of sonic 06 in sega's archives that they couldn't get to run. But a least sonic 06 had the chance to be good where as rise of lyric was going to be worse right from the get go
ThatOneGuitarGuy 98 well sonic the fighters is not a beat em up it's a slow paced fighting game. A beat em up is something like streets of rage. basically what we call action adventure games now a days.
ThatOneGuitarGuy 98 true those games are classics of the Sega genesis' library I hate even comparing them to rise of lyric but they're in the same category. But if there's two things at least decent about the sonic boom series it's the tv show and fire and ice.
Rise of Lyric hast time travel as a plot element. And it's done kind of poorly, all things considered.
Kezza Rise of Lyric also doesn't have a credits warp :^)
If Sega maybe would've just delay the game to think carefully to add what in the game then maybe this mess probably wouldn't happened.
kinda glad sonic 06 happened sonic colors may have never happend
SEGA was on a deadline by Microsoft. They wanted to delay the game, but Microsoft wouldn't let them.
andrearitsu.wordpress.com/2015/08/01/just-how-did-sonic-2006-happen/
It still would have been a mess, but a playable mess.

SONIC 06 TURNS 10 NEXT YEAR
HOLD ME
Mamaspeeder ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Mamaspeeder lets just destroy those wayward copies
Mamaspeeder considering SEGA wont be at this years E3 for obvious reasons, I think we all know his next game will be in 2016 for Sonics 25th anniversary. HOLD ME!
xy394 It'll be Sonic 06: The Not Fucked Edition.
Mamaspeeder Dream on...
You know, on the subject of voice acting, I actually find Shadow's voice to be quite good in this game. Then again, anything is better than Kirk Thornton voicing Shadow. Don't misunderstand me, I still enjoy Thornton as characters such as Saix, but a good Shadow he is not.
Jason Griffith may not gave been the best Sonic voice, but he was definitely the best Shadow.
I prefer David Humphrey, but Griffith is still a decent Shadow. Definitely better than Kirk Thornton.
yOu GOt thIs SONIC!
21:04
Elise: "I don't care what happens to the world!"
Johnny: "You disgust me you sensless bitch!"
Why was that part so damn funny to me?!
Miselo Jaime Yo, I thought the same thing. Lmao.
Cos it's true
It was senseless. Only a senseless bitch would ruin the world for a blue hedgehog
I know alot of people are gonna get pissy with me, but I couldn't help but think of this when Tails appeared in Forces. More specifically when he bonded with Classic Sonic
Cause He's Right
Who's here After Johnny's Final Fantasy VI review has final taken the thrown for his longest vs video after 9 years?
I thought the cutscenes were animated in gmod
I seriously thought they were animated in SFM. Not a joke. These cutscenes are terrible. Even the FMVs aren’t that impressive.
Joseph Cocks Even Source Film Maker is better than this.
13:20 This entire part irritates me. Surely we've all played enough games / watched movies to know time travel works? Shadow WAS still frozen and the Shadow that captured Mephiles was the same Shadow that travelled back in time in the game. Mephiles knew him because it had already happened in the time stream, but Shadow had yet to go back in time to make it happen, but it had already happened. SA2 Shadow has nothing to do with this game, he was frozen and that's it.
I guess, Sonic Boom is like Sonic '06 ||
Geez, Sonic '06s story is so overcomplicated that the developpers didn't even understand it themselves.
***** Don't forget there's a lot of unfunny ones.
***** Great, so there's absolutely no fun reason to play Sonic BOOMED.
***** Hey, at least you can move fast in '06.
I'd take 06 over Boom any day. I'd rather play a (somewhat) entertainingly glitchy game than a boring one.
I no
Is new Sonic
By sega
Without a doubt my favorite video you've ever done. This is timeless.
My sister is OBSESSED with Sonic the Hedgehog. In fact, our mom said we could pick out a game Any game. ANY. GAME.
And she chose Sonic 06 because she thought everyone who hated it were just stupid haters who couldn't play it because of glitches that happened TO THEM, and she wanted to prove them wrong.
EDIT: I was kinda mad when I made this, and I regret what I said. It's not like she could've known the game sucked before she played it. She saw a bunch of hate for the game and wanted to see for herself if it was bad.
Kek
So, because someone likes a game that no one else likes, she's autistic?
He probably knows that among people who are obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog are notably people with autism. Even so, it's still a bad assumption to make -_-
If she says "haters," she might have some damage.
In this case, prolly.
this video still enjoyable in 2016
Long time no see.
Long time no see

Of course it is! This is Johnny we're talking about!
