The funny thing about drowning in Sonic is that in real life, hedgehogs float when placed in water. Sega forgot to research this, but they decided to keep water as Sonic's weakness as a joke. This is why Sonic freaked out about landing in water in the first episode ofSonic X.
As for drowning in Sonic Adventure, bonus points if they're in the middle of an idle animation when it happens. Did it with Knuckles once- "I'll bet the Mas-" [Cue garbling that sounds like he's being possessed by Goofy as he drowns]
More bonus points if you stand still in the pool and the character says something, then drowns. Play as Tails and do it. Tails: **yawns then chokes** or.... Sonic: Better get going **drowns**
But the creepiest time limit in the series is when you do nothing for 3 minutes in Sonic CD. Sonic literally commits suicide, and it's an instant game over.
Charlie McFarlin same i just Quit than go back if i cant. Quit i just run frome the Phone even 8 it scared the crap out of me i even left the bath when this happend so no playing as sonic tails knucks why à kid know swim SONIC does not i fing it scary
Well, for me it was pretty good made. It never scared me, i liked LZ music, and drowning music. It's so perfect! I even heard to it when i was like.. *counts* 5 years old. I'm now 8 and i still hear it! Whoo! Also, why does it scare you? Wait.. *reads the reason* Oh, yea. Well LZ music is the best, as well with the drowning music. (it's my opinion, i like the drowning music.)
Fun Fact! SEGA when creating Sonic didn't know hedgehogs could swim, so they played it safe and made it so Sonic couldn't. But as it turns out hedgehogs can swim perfectly fine!
12:45 I actually prefer how it stops afterward. To me it gives this feeling of tension and as soon as the music stops, you know its over, the calm of the storm, since you'll likely grab a bubble before the pause, if youre dashing to escape the water though or frantically searching for a bubble, I love how the game basically gives you the finger as you die with that pause
Actually, in Labyrinth Zone Act 3, if you stay right by the end of the waterfall, the water level will actually go back down to give you a second chance to jump on the sponges.
I was a scaredy cat back then, so i didn't enter the pools in Sonic Adventure when the timer and music started playing. I honestly still cannot go in them. There's also very faint heartbeats in the Sonic Colors Drowning theme.
Heartbeats? You're kidding, right? All the times I heard the Sonic Colors version of the Drowning theme, I have not heard a single heartbeat even once!
The first time I heard the Drowning theme was when I was playing Sonic Adventure. I was just messing around as Tails in the lake at Mystic Ruins when the music paused. I was pretty young as well back then, so I was like "Wut hapendz?" And then the theme came on. It was so sudden it made me jump. Plus the fact that the volume was decently high, well...
*continuing when tails come back* Tails:hey soni...... *Dead* Tails:fuck who cares we both can't die (Sonic can't die because he always come back) *Drowns* Tails:I'm back Bitches!! >:)
Also the beginning of the video made me realize that Samus Aran probably lives a more dangerous life than any other video game character. Like, darn. And she's already my favorite VG character, now I appreciate her even more.
Every time that drowning music started, even though I knew I had 5 seconds left, i would panic and my heart would beat faster. I would sometimes just chill beside the air bubbles for a few minutes, getting prepared for next section of fear inducing underwater mayhem.
I know a glitch on sonic 1, it's called the infinite lives glitch. follow the steps: 1. get to labyrinth zone act 1 2. get to the flowing part 3. get down to 1 life 4. when the drowning timer reaches 2, grab the bar with the spikes at the top right corner of the bar, but don't let go of the bar, sonic will drown then die of the spikes at the same time then watch the life counter, if the counter is glitched then you will now have the maximum lifes ( 255 )
Ragnarok Chronofin I especially hate the Wario Land 4 boss time-limits.Only 4 minutes?!*4*?!Except for the Golden Diva fight,where the are 6 minutes,which is a little generous,but *REALLY?!4?!*
WOOOOO! Look at him rippin' up some serious shit in space. I'd be shitting myself trying to go through the rails. *Sonic drowns in a kiddy pool* Nelson: May I? Me: Go ahead. Nelson: HA HA.

When i was a kid and played aquatic ruin, it actually made me stop being scared of that freakin drowning music because the level is so beautiful, i still tried to skip the water section at act 1 but later i accepted it because the underwater path was just beautiful.
The water is so pro, it can defeat Sonic in one hit. It just needs the time. (btw with the sponges, I believe going over to the left and hugging the waterfall makes the water go down) I've never seen someone drown in Sonic Adventure. (That's a lie, I've seen youtube footage of people drowning in Sonic Adventure)
Yeah. How come robotnik never lured sonic into what looked like a place where he would battle him but instead flood the room with water and make sure that there is no way of escape?
Am I the only one that loved the water stages as a child, even with the drowing countdown? The drowing music only made eager to get a bubble, but it didn't scare me.
If you want more countdowns I recommend you Neo Contra's Stage 6 and 7's. I can provide you with all the videos that you want about this. Also, Shadow the Hedgehog's cosmic fall, Resident Evil's, even Ninja Gaiden has a pair of epic countdowns. Except for the RE's I can provide you with videos from every game :D
Time limits always stressed me the hell out too. I forgot about sonic drowning, but reflecting back to when I was 14 (when sonic was released on the Genesis) it would stress me the hell out. Not to mention how dramatic the music got. But I liked the Labyrinth zone's music. It was just very catchy. But the two worse time limits for me was the end of Metroid on the NES and pretty much the entire game of Impossible Mission for the Commodore 64.
Labyrinth Zone is likewise the furthest I could get in Sonic 1. Partly because I thought I had to defeat Robotnik on the climb, and kept taking damage trying to reach him.
Reaching out to a larger proportion of the audience, I suppose. That and the fact that anyone likely to be watching these probably already knows what a "Genesis" is even if they are British, whereas some might not know what a "Mega Drive" is.
Back in the day, I use to read Game Pro (which I think was published in the UK but not sure) and they would call it the 'Genesis' in the articles for the American publication. The part that drove me crazy is when the catalog section would sell Mega Drive games and I was like, "Sega made another system? Why the hell wasn't I informed about this?" lol... It took me some time to realize that it was the same system. That must have been back in either 89 or 90. Damn, I'm old. :(
I love the way you emphasize with the characters, even if they're blips of pixels. Growing attached to characters for who they are makes a game. I love your content, dude. (i use dude neutrally)
Sonic Colors is the only Sonic game I've played so far (yeah), and even looking at the other Sonic games drowning things, I can still tell that Sonic Colors drowning is THE WORST.
I have to admit when I was playing this game in my childhood days, I used to like it when Sonic drowned! I dunno why, but it was just funny although the jaws music didn't bother me either. I used to punish him with this when he wouldn't jump onto ledges ;). Ah happy times....
You forgot Sonic Adventure 2. Knuckles can have a upgrade to breath underwater but it can be hard and drown in the attempt in Aquatic Mine. Also in Cannon's core dont get the upgrade and YOU ARE SCREWED.
i honestly think the tartar battle countdown in octo expansion was really scary (the music was good though) and when the time runs out you get a creepy screen
Sonic Adventure was one of the first Sonic games I played as a kid, and hearing the drowning theme then scared me. The fact that the music gets so fricking fast (as well as the counter) adds so much.
I'm sorry but I had to laugh at 12:34. The way he just impatiently points the right direction like you're an idiot and stares at you like a fucking Office character will never not be hysterical.
***** ....Excuse me, I have to explain how stupid that comment was. A girl is much bigger and taller than a hedgehog in real life, AND in the game. Pause at 13:48, and you will see that the girl is taller than Sonic. (Also, she isn't drowning.)
you said "so you think a girl is bigger than a hedgehog, your just dumb." It sounded like you were implying that I was stupid for saying the girl was bigger.
Another Creepy Time Limit:Power In FNAF Five Nights @ Freddy's. Just Think. If The Power's Out,No Doors. No Doors=Anamatronics Get Ya. Anamatronics Get You=DEATH
Most creepy time limit in my childhood: Kirby mass attack's drowning sequence. Lose all your air, and all your kirbys DIE. And go straight to heaven. No lives, nothing. Just death. And the game over screen makes me sad. Another Creepy time limit: Terraria: its a fun game, coins, crafting, shops, any rpg stuff! But the water is everywhere. End of the world, in the jungle, in the corruption, underground, etc.
Wes Rubincan The only animatronics that get you when you run outta power is Freddy Fazbear or Golden Freddy(if you summoned him in before the power ran out). It would have been cool if Scott implemented a thing where there is a random chance for any animatronic,such as Bonnie or Chica or Foxy,to attack you if you run out of power.
You know what's funny? The well-known Sonic 2 prototype build that Simon Wai discovered did Aquatic Ruin act 2 a bit differently: instead of plunking you into a long underwater section of you miss the swinging platforms, that build just had a bottomless pit!
in one of the trio (I don't know which) but the only space I know of that you can drown in is a tiny puddle. It looks pathetic when your drowning the fastest thing alive in some collected water from rain.
Actually that's him swimming. In 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, Tails can fly, which turns into a swim animation should he be under water. Point taken though.
Jane Huskmann - One difference between me and Sonic characters is that one can hold their breath for about 30 seconds while the other can hold their breath for 3 minutes.
2:57 the drowning timer or breath timer theme was really overwhelming to me as a kid, but once I figured out that the bubbles in sonic were safety written in an implemented way, I find it a very good way of survival and if you don't hear the breath timer theme, don't worry, if it's on tails, there's no need to worry!
Even though Sonic 1 & 2 are good games, I'm not a fan of these games especially considering that those games feels like the prototype of Sonic CD and the famous Sonic 3 & Knuckles(Even though it wasn't as perfect & it wasn't nearly as fun as Super Mario World, it's without the doubt my absolute favorite Sonic game I've ever played.) In fact, I call those games a bit overrated(Abysmal water physics aside, enemy placement can be dickish at times like the unholy trio of Metropolis Zone, some level designs being infuriating especially the infamous Labyrinth Zone, the requirements to access the Chaos Emerald Stage is darn near impossible to complete since if you'll lose all the rings if you get hit without the shield powerups, the special stage being frustrating as hell especially the half-pipe design from Sonic 2 where the controls is on the slippery & has the obstacles being almost unpredictable, & the fact that no save feature during it's time unlike Sonic CD or S3&K). Don't worry though, it's not as overrated as the Sonic Adventure series(I'm dead serious! These game just age terribly if it wasn't for too many fatal design flaws & bad design choices. Knuckles' gameplay being frustrating as hell especially SA2, Amy's gameplay is mediocre, Gamma's gameplay being infuriating, Rogue's gameplay being as ripoff of Knuckles' gameplay, the walkers from Tails & Dr. Robotnik from SA2 having clunky controls leading to frustrations, hubworlds being so confusing which is why I prefer the hubworlds of 3D Mario games better, & who couldn't forget the infamous Big the Cat & his gameplay being the worst part of SA1). Even though I'm not a fan of Sonic 1 or 2, I still think they're the consistent Sonic games that help SEGA becoming the worthy rival of Nintendo & their mascot Mario before starting to become unworthy with the poor start with 3D Blast & Sega Saturn(Having no true Sonic games on that console whatsoever. Oh yeah, far worst than the Wii U. The Wii U may have troubling times as of right now, but at least this console does have Wind Waker HD & 2 Mario games, and soon we'll have a brand new Donkey Kong game coming in Feb. 21st. Oh, in the very future this year, Super Smash Bros. Wii U. Lastly, in the very future like a few years later, a brand new Wii U Zelda game.) When I think of Sonic games, I think of Sonic CD(Digital Port), S3&K, Advance series, Rush series, Colors, & Generations. But when I think of platformer series or video game mascot in general, I think of Mario than anything else.
*HOLD IT!* Sonic is not commuting suicide! He just got bore and left the game! As evident by the fact he says "I'm outta here!" an then jumps off screen!
*5* *4* **music acceleration** *3* **more music acceleration** *2* **MORE music acceleration** *1* **MORE MUSIC ACCELERATION!!!** *0* **the music stops** **gwaaalll** Guess the time limit.
I remember playing chemical plant zone 2 and being so frustrated at the water parts,after a week or so i was able to skip the water,but the robotnick boss is really hard and if you hit him once ir twice you might move to the water
I'm literally horrified of sounds like this lol this includes those weather alerts that interrupt tv shows and stuff like that. Brings me to tears everytime
This reminds me of how terrified I was of those weather alert sounds when I was younger and didnt know where they were coming from, and scared of hearing unknown beeping sounds which for some reason still unsettles me
The drowning in colors is really creepy. Though in Sonic 2 it looked really weird (--> the moment you waited for time to run out to show that he does not die right away) how he just does his regular idle animations before dieing
When I was a kid the time limits in sonic scared me so much that as soon as the last five seconds started I would turn off my console and restart the entire level. Even today games like Dead Space, and Alien Isolation have not scared me nearly as much as sonic did.

sonic can breathe in space but not in water.
Logic.
It's true hedge hogs in real world can breath in space BUT THEY SWIM
Invisible Space Suit Anyone?
He can only breath in space if he's super or hyper sonic and breath in space in sonic colors
Uh uh the whole series name sonic for make a guy call him Senic
Fun Fact!
SEGA when creating Sonic didn't know hedgehogs could swim, so they played it safe and made it so Sonic couldn't. But as it turns out hedgehogs can swim perfectly fine!
Arseface McShitfuck
You got me there honestly...
_Also hands down, that username is amazing._
Knuckles actually says "I CANT SWIM
And pretty adorably, if I may say so
One Grumpy Cat Sonic is much different from the other hedgehogs

Adventure you mean?
To be honest, probably even bigger fear than bad endings would be bad endings, that you have to restart the whole game to get something you've missed.
12:45
I actually prefer how it stops afterward. To me it gives this feeling of tension and as soon as the music stops, you know its over, the calm of the storm, since you'll likely grab a bubble before the pause, if youre dashing to escape the water though or frantically searching for a bubble, I love how the game basically gives you the finger as you die with that pause
Actually, in Labyrinth Zone Act 3, if you stay right by the end of the waterfall, the water level will actually go back down to give you a second chance to jump on the sponges.
Sonic stopped being fast as soon as you left Green Hill Zone.
GET THE FUCK BACK TO NISTL YOUR NOT MEANT TO BE HERE
Arseface McShitfuck yes I am. :P
Remember The Hentai Wars?

Like some sort of turn based rpg game
Sonic really needs to Take Swimming Lessons.
Oh, Wait.

I was a scaredy cat back then, so i didn't enter the pools in Sonic Adventure when the timer and music started playing. I honestly still cannot go in them.
There's also very faint heartbeats in the Sonic Colors Drowning theme.

Also the beginning of the video made me realize that Samus Aran probably lives a more dangerous life than any other video game character. Like, darn. And she's already my favorite VG character, now I appreciate her even more.

I know a glitch on sonic 1, it's called the infinite lives glitch.
follow the steps:
1. get to labyrinth zone act 1
2. get to the flowing part
3. get down to 1 life
4. when the drowning timer reaches 2, grab the bar with the spikes at the top right corner of the bar, but don't let go of the bar, sonic will drown then die of the spikes at the same time then watch the life counter, if the counter is glitched then you will now have the maximum lifes ( 255 )
There's one in Sonic 3 in Launch Base Zone too.
Just get to a part where infinite badniks spawn, and charge a spindash.
I wonder why does sonic die after 10 minutes, like waving his hands in the air and having some shocked face and then jumping off the screen.
***** Good point.
***** But for getting bored, he gets bored defeating a boss?
That was scary, cause I still don't have Sonic CD
Littenz he was suciding cuz his life was boring so he did that
Renáldo Pinto I have
the only reason i hate count downs is because i hate playing "Beat The Clock"
I KNOW RIGHT!
Ragnarok Chronofin I especially hate the Wario Land 4 boss time-limits.Only 4 minutes?!*4*?!Except for the Golden Diva fight,where the are 6 minutes,which is a little generous,but *REALLY?!4?!*
In Sonic Adventure, when Sonic was about to drown, it would really scare me, making me actually run away from the console.
Toddler-Kit Adventure was definitely the scariest version of the song. It's a damn earworm, in the worst way possible.

13:04 I knew it was coming xD
my dead channel It had to be! This is terrifying!
Sonic Adventure was one of the first Sonic games I played as a kid, and hearing the drowning theme then scared me. The fact that the music gets so fricking fast (as well as the counter) adds so much.
Cant wait for your "creepy bad endins XX, dead rising 3"
You could be waiting a long time for that one, I'm afraid. As much as I want to play the game, there's no way I'm paying £420 for an Xbox One.
whoisthisgit
4 is greater than one, am I right?
+ＴｍａｎＤａＣｏｏｌ１ XD for me (i know this is not part of what we are talking about) but i only have to pay 300 Canada dollars for a wii u!
in One of The Classic Sonic Games if you wait 3 Minutes on Sonic CD without touching ANYTHING an good Thing Will Happen if you wait it out.
Hi tman
This is the reason I was always scared of water growing up. Seeing him drown like that haunted me. And the thought of me drowning made it worse!
( hears drowning music for sonic ) oh shit! WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO! AH! HE'S GONNA DIE ( Music stops ) NOOO!
5:55
Haha, it almost seems like Robotnik waited for Sonic to come out. Didn't want his nemesis drowning it seems?
"It's out of my hands, I'm only a clock, don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine! But Evantually everyone runs out of time
No
DE WAE
Enough!
At the sight of sonic colors, i was like "FINALLY, something I actually have!"
14:02
*SUPER INTENSE MUSIC*
*drowns*
Sonic: Ah, eh.
lol
I'm sorry but I had to laugh at 12:34. The way he just impatiently points the right direction like you're an idiot and stares at you like a fucking Office character will never not be hysterical.
R.I.P.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Died in a tragic swimming incident.
In a swimming pool that a little girl can swim in
Jacob Barber Well, Sonic was pretty small back in the day and he still can't swim, so...
no. he died in DROPLET of water
(JK)
***** ....Excuse me, I have to explain how stupid that comment was.
A girl is much bigger and taller than a hedgehog in real life, AND in the game.
Pause at 13:48, and you will see that the girl is taller than Sonic. (Also, she isn't drowning.)
you said "so you think a girl is bigger than a hedgehog, your just dumb."
It sounded like you were implying that I was stupid for saying the girl was bigger.
Oh Sonic, if you just learned to swim, it'd save you a lot of problems, fear, and near death experiences.
But sonic is a douche who doesn't care if he drowns in a kiddy pool one day..hahaha
Or drowns before even going to the deep end of the pool lol
Now he runs on water,soooo...
Another Creepy Time Limit:Power In FNAF Five Nights @ Freddy's.
Just Think.
If The Power's Out,No Doors.
No Doors=Anamatronics Get Ya.
Anamatronics Get You=DEATH
***** I Said ANOTHER Not ERR PUT THIS IN
Most creepy time limit in my childhood: Kirby mass attack's drowning sequence.
Lose all your air, and all your kirbys DIE. And go straight to heaven. No lives, nothing. Just death. And the game over screen makes me sad.
Another Creepy time limit: Terraria: its a fun game, coins, crafting, shops, any rpg stuff! But the water is everywhere.
End of the world, in the jungle, in the corruption, underground, etc.
Jen Turner ANOTHER FNAF HATER. Uggh, Just Because I Find The Game Scary, You Don't Have To Crap All Over It.
Wes Rubincan The only animatronics that get you when you run outta power is Freddy Fazbear or Golden Freddy(if you summoned him in before the power ran out). It would have been cool if Scott implemented a thing where there is a random chance for any animatronic,such as Bonnie or Chica or Foxy,to attack you if you run out of power.
conlia I Honestly Didn't Know GF Could Kill You At Power Out.
You know what's funny? The well-known Sonic 2 prototype build that Simon Wai discovered did Aquatic Ruin act 2 a bit differently: instead of plunking you into a long underwater section of you miss the swinging platforms, that build just had a bottomless pit!
I just noticed he didn't cover drowning in Sonic Advance 1 and 3. Did anyone else notice that?
+Carls493 Yup. heck, as Knux, you can BREAK THE LEVEL CAUSE HE CAN SWIM!
in one of the trio (I don't know which) but the only space I know of that you can drown in is a tiny puddle. It looks pathetic when your drowning the fastest thing alive in some collected water from rain.
as hard as the sonic water levels can be, I always loved that game. and that sound effect when he breathes a bubble :D love it.
9:07 Bye bye, Tails!
12:36
Tails comes back with an angry-seeming look on his face after drowning.
Actually that's him swimming. In 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, Tails can fly, which turns into a swim animation should he be under water. Point taken though.
I know, but still, he looks angry.
Jane Huskmann - Hence why I said point taken at the end of my comment.
D MAS
Yeah, I'd be angry if I was submerged under many feet, maybe even a league, of H2O.
Jane Huskmann - One difference between me and Sonic characters is that one can hold their breath for about 30 seconds while the other can hold their breath for 3 minutes.
2:57 the drowning timer or breath timer theme was really overwhelming to me as a kid, but once I figured out that the bubbles in sonic were safety written in an implemented way, I find it a very good way of survival and if you don't hear the breath timer theme, don't worry, if it's on tails, there's no need to worry!
Even though Sonic 1 & 2 are good games, I'm not a fan of these games especially considering that those games feels like the prototype of Sonic CD and the famous Sonic 3 & Knuckles(Even though it wasn't as perfect & it wasn't nearly as fun as Super Mario World, it's without the doubt my absolute favorite Sonic game I've ever played.) In fact, I call those games a bit overrated(Abysmal water physics aside, enemy placement can be dickish at times like the unholy trio of Metropolis Zone, some level designs being infuriating especially the infamous Labyrinth Zone, the requirements to access the Chaos Emerald Stage is darn near impossible to complete since if you'll lose all the rings if you get hit without the shield powerups, the special stage being frustrating as hell especially the half-pipe design from Sonic 2 where the controls is on the slippery & has the obstacles being almost unpredictable, & the fact that no save feature during it's time unlike Sonic CD or S3&K). Don't worry though, it's not as overrated as the Sonic Adventure series(I'm dead serious! These game just age terribly if it wasn't for too many fatal design flaws & bad design choices. Knuckles' gameplay being frustrating as hell especially SA2, Amy's gameplay is mediocre, Gamma's gameplay being infuriating, Rogue's gameplay being as ripoff of Knuckles' gameplay, the walkers from Tails & Dr. Robotnik from SA2 having clunky controls leading to frustrations, hubworlds being so confusing which is why I prefer the hubworlds of 3D Mario games better, & who couldn't forget the infamous Big the Cat & his gameplay being the worst part of SA1). Even though I'm not a fan of Sonic 1 or 2, I still think they're the consistent Sonic games that help SEGA becoming the worthy rival of Nintendo & their mascot Mario before starting to become unworthy with the poor start with 3D Blast & Sega Saturn(Having no true Sonic games on that console whatsoever. Oh yeah, far worst than the Wii U. The Wii U may have troubling times as of right now, but at least this console does have Wind Waker HD & 2 Mario games, and soon we'll have a brand new Donkey Kong game coming in Feb. 21st. Oh, in the very future this year, Super Smash Bros. Wii U. Lastly, in the very future like a few years later, a brand new Wii U Zelda game.) When I think of Sonic games, I think of Sonic CD(Digital Port), S3&K, Advance series, Rush series, Colors, & Generations. But when I think of platformer series or video game mascot in general, I think of Mario than anything else.
The Escape Countdown from Descent. No holds barred on that one, for sure.
in sonic cd if you wait 3 minutes and just dont touch the controller sonic ends his life and the game.
Mostly, I thought he just left.
Nope all the time he does it i have done the same thing for ever and ever and it still whats the same thing
*HOLD IT!*
Sonic is not commuting suicide!
He just got bore and left the game!
As evident by the fact he says "I'm outta here!" an then jumps off screen!
but then its a game over. im mind boggled
Have to agree with you there...
You do get an instant game over...
Also the North American game over music is the stuff of nightmares...
That theme is terrifying to m- OK I ADMIT THAT I LIED. I get startled when hearing it, but for some reason I find it kinda catchy.
9:30 Did you notice the ring counter was at 69? XD
Lol sonic probably drowned cause he was too busy fapping
Or sumthin lol
Oh, grow up.

Guess the time limit.
Before watching this:
Is Metroid on this?
After about 60 seconds:
Yep.
I never died in the third act of Sonic 2, if i'm serious.
You, sir, deserve a trophy.
+Nobody's Trash thanks! I just went as fast as i could, and i used the high track.
José Daniel Cabrera Medina Is that the ruins zone, or am I thinking of the original?
+Nyanadventurer the second aquatic ruin zone.
José Daniel Cabrera Medina Yeah
I remember playing chemical plant zone 2 and being so frustrated at the water parts,after a week or so i was able to skip the water,but the robotnick boss is really hard and if you hit him once ir twice you might move to the water
I'm literally horrified of sounds like this lol this includes those weather alerts that interrupt tv shows and stuff like that. Brings me to tears everytime
This reminds me of how terrified I was of those weather alert sounds when I was younger and didnt know where they were coming from, and scared of hearing unknown beeping sounds which for some reason still unsettles me
That part at the end was hilarious!
Ooooh. My blood heated up when you brought up Final Rush.
14:37 Wouldn't he burn up in the atmosphere? Which is terrifying in and of itself.
"what is the one thing you can't do?" "I can't swim" too right my good sir
The drowning in colors is really creepy. Though in Sonic 2 it looked really weird (--> the moment you waited for time to run out to show that he does not die right away) how he just does his regular idle animations before dieing
I was semi-surprised you didn't mention how Amy gives the player a face-full of an upskirt shot when she drowns.
You gotta admit, for some that can't swim, 30 seconds of holding air is pretty impressive.
I just imagine sonic yelling at you "YOU JUST NEEDED TO FIND ONE SINGLE BUBBLE!"
Sonic's breathing sound effect is the best ever.
LOL at the ending.
Great video, dude.
Ur completely right about that: the Labyrinth Zone is way better than the Marble Zone, finally I’ve found a person that agrees with me
12:58
"Sonic... Colours?"
"Oh, I forgot. You're from England... :P"
So i'm from Poland :P (Yes i'm from Poland)
that first water level in sonic 2 scared me out of my pants when i was younger, and probably still would
When I was a kid the time limits in sonic scared me so much that as soon as the last five seconds started I would turn off my console and restart the entire level. Even today games like Dead Space, and Alien Isolation have not scared me nearly as much as sonic did.
