The Happy Meal commercials took me all the way back! I think I was just finishing up kindergarten when that first one aired and I remember going from being mesmerized by the game footage (the only real bit of the game I ever saw in action until I finally got my hands on a damn cartridge two years later) to being totally taken by the girl knocking on the screen - couldn't understand why I was always imagining playing the game with her whenever it came on. In hindsight, I was crushin' hard. Ditto for the McDonald's worker at 1:54, which I forgot all about until now. Oh to be an innocent youngster again LOL
Those French-dubbed American Sonic 3 & Knuckles commercials might actually be Canadian, as the Mega Drive was known as the Genesis over in North America and Canada is a country in North America.
Well, THAT’S a Groundhog Day release NOT based on the movie - just a big game with a big special stage and a big game save feature - twice as big as Sonic 2. In other words: “really weird”.
I think cause the add was promoting it before sonic 3 was split in two I mean it could probably was recorded on December 93 or January 94 so I guess it makes sense if it's true but I probably think that's not the case cause sonic 3 was probably split before it and I think sonic and knuckles was probably the one with the more development cause the final boss and more levels than sonic 3 but hey at least we got them both combined with the lock on and complete and air.
"34 megs of power" good try Sega of America lol. Sonic 3 is 16 megs, S&K is 16, = 32. They had to split the games because Japan didn't produce 32 meg cartridges for the genesis. Sega should've released Sonic & Knuckles sooner. JP got Sonic 3 in May, US had to wait 8 months for the rest of the game when S&K was complete by July 1994. This is where Sega began to make bad choices
Why are some of the French adverts labeled as France, when they have the "Genesis" label instead of the Mega Drive one? Those clearly must be from Canada.
Cop little girl speaks to in the McDonalds ad is the actor who plays Doyle out of The Mask. Thus beautifully foreshadowing Jim Carrey's destiny to play Sonic's arch enemy way in the future. "Eesay ouyay aterlay!" (Pig Latin) lol
11:50 - how did they translate this commercial from American to French sts?! Groundhog Day is exclusive to the USA as far as I know, so what was the gimmick in France? Just curious.
"Did you see the Shadow?!" Not for 7 more years sadly.
WHERE?!
Shadow Is Back in this Bitch!!!
SEGA
You beat me to it 😆
Shadow was in a top building and never seen
The girl in the happy meal commercial looks like the most get together person working at a Mcdonalds I've ever seen
That's where I say I loved the acting talents in that commercial

That's the funniest part to me.
10:41 This ad is actually from Canada (more specifically, in Quebec).
“Twice as big as sonic 2!”
That aged well
Not really. There ARE twice as many zones as sonic 2
@@testmanddsonic 2 = 10 zones
sonic 3 = 6 zones

@@tmcttf8087 well yeah and also you can play as Amy in Sonic 3 and Knuckles in the upcoming plus expansion pack for the Sonic Origins collection!
@@Mr.Feather130 Yeah, I heard.....it's crazy how it's all official now, a playable Amy within the Genesis Sonic games.

Another proof could be the pronounciation of French isn't exactly the same in France and Canada (and also in other countries)

0:36 "twice as big as sonic 2"
Literally has half of the zones as sonic 2
Gotta love false advertising
@@vini64 sega really hates that much, at least you can put in sonic & knuckles and actually get 12 stages like sonic 2
Commercial was probably filmed before Sega planned to make S3&K two separate games. But I digress
I mean yeah, but even Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles separately are still about as long as Sonic 2 because the levels are much longer
I think cause the add was promoting it before sonic 3 was split in two I mean it could probably was recorded on December 93 or January 94 so I guess it makes sense if it's true but I probably think that's not the case cause sonic 3 was probably split before it and I think sonic and knuckles was probably the one with the more development cause the final boss and more levels than sonic 3 but hey at least we got them both combined with the lock on and complete and air.
PERFECT Commercial Sonic 3 Japan 6:09 6:18

**grabs the can** *Food-*
Sonic 3 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles is one of my Favorite classic sonic games
My favorite Sonic/Sega Genesis game of all time. It's a masterpiece.
Best Sonic game by far.
I mean, in my personal opinion, I wouldn't say by far.
Objectively? also no. Mania is similar in quality and size.
@@luginess0 I guess you're right. Sonic Mania and Sonic 2 are both games I'd rank pretty close to it.
10:00 everyone ignoring that it says he's pink, when it shows images of him clearly being red.

...i wonder who won that
I didn't know about half of these American commercials. The soup one is out there.
By the way, the Sonic 3 Tiger Electronics game also had an ad in English. You can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/6ixmESAvrHs/видео.html
5:34 if you want to see the rare flash ad for sonic 3 pc
5:20
Food
All sonic games from Sonic 1 1991 to Sonic Gems Collection are always the very best sonic games!
Ok, I'll bite: Who actually got to be president of SEGA for a day?
I always wonder who won certain weird prizes like "become Sega's President for a day" and what their experiences were like.
Imagine that being a thing now.
5:04 lowkey I would buy both the game and soup if I saw this. If I was old enough. 😢
Finally, Japanese commercials that look American to me.
EDIT: Anyone notice the cut video at 7:00?
I was finding it a bit strange not gonna lie, now that you mentioned it, it makes more sense to me now

Yeah dude 😮

I just realized that in almost every sonic 3 add, the color of the lettering in the logo is inverted (like sonic 1 and 2)
1994's Sonic 3: Knuckles takes the Emeralds and is tricked by Eggman in thinking Sonic's the enemy.
2024's Sonic 3: "My god... Project Shadow."
