This game store where I live was selling some bootleg sonic plushes, I ended up getting Silver because his tail was rigid and pointing between his legs. Needless to say, it looked a little... questionable.
My city has a large electronic billboard around the city centre that shows ads for local businesses and events. For a brief period of time, not too long ago, they had an ad for some kind of summer camp that involved golfing. The ad featured front-and-centre official artwork of the golf girl for Rhythm Heaven Fever. Not even edited. I tried to get a picture of it but sadly they took it down just a couple days after I first spotted it. Just look up Rhythm Heaven Golf and it’s the second image that comes up.
0:05 Thats Metal Nazo. Nazo is based of an unused Super Sonic Consept for Sonic X. He was used in Nazo Unleashed. And a fan created a sequel and made that Metal Nazo Design.
Back in the late '90s to early '00s, the Minnesota State Fair used to have a funhouse with an unauthorized Super Mario World theme, even including a slide which resembled one of the green pipes from the Mario series. Needless to say, it was my favorite attraction there when I was little. I believe it still exists, but painted over with a generic jungle theme.
@@SolomonFactor it was terrifying. It was a claustrophobic's worst nightmare. Well... For the first time. Im not claustrophobic but I thought I was trapped in there and started crying. Luckily this 10 year old girl started helping me get up the pipes (ladders) and down to the slide where this big bounce house like thingy was there so we don't hit the pavement. I wonder what she's doing today...
I saw a Planet PlayStation at an official event run by the BBC out of all things. The CBBC Summer Social festival to be exact. One of the presenters even pointed it out. The version that was there also had NSMB Wii artwork and even Crash and Spyro
my mom once brought my brother crayons for school and there was the alien character as the mascot and i saw he had shoes, they were sonics and his pose and eyes looked like Sonic.
In a fair in Barry Island, wales (30 mins away from where I live) there's unauthorised Sonic 06 Sonic artwork on a ride. EDIT: It used to be on the Hell raiser ride, I'm not sure if it's anywhere else in the fair

I’ve seen a funhouse similar to Planet PlayStation called “Nintendo Land”. It was just plastered all over with Mario renders along with a few sonic, DK, Avengers and minions ones. And inside it also had some really obscure characters including “wonder dog” from this obscure sega CD game which I think AVGN reviewed.
That last one is amazing! It’s Hilarious just how long they used Sonic on their cabs. I’m amazed just how Bloody long they’ve been gettinh away with it. Great Video! Nice Job!
I remember seeing a van which had the name, Sonic Brakes on the back and sides with a Sonic X render Sonic running on each side. I was only 4 at the time, and I was shouting in my dad's car, SONIC!!!! SONIC!!!!!
There’s this firework that blatantly rips off Sonic, called Killer Bee. It’s like a mix of Sonic and Charmy Bee And someone needs to address it on RUclips RIGHT NOW!!
These products/company logos/amusement rides are so jarring yet amusing. To think that somebody was hired to make the art, to which they would blatantly steal from something, and then a whole company team would approve the art and not one person had an issue with it or with using someone else's IP.
There's a city in Brazil called Curitiba. Back in 2012, I saw a small game store literally called "Sonic games", with sonic all over it. They surely did sell some official sonic stuff at least.
0:37 That Mario koala isn't a bootleg. It's an art piece that was commissioned for a zoo in Australia. It's essentially just a fan sculpture. Red Bard has a video on it if you're curious.
5:27 god, when you were talking about how they changed the mascot's design, i was just thinking "he now looks even more like tails" as a joke to myself i was not at all expecting that to be what actually happened lmao
I’m from Poland and I cant believe they ripped of sonic as they rarely ever do this as they have plenty of official products Also it’s apluś is pronounced aploosh
Theres a shop in lincoln called gotham games that has mario Sonic Space invaders And all that good stuff just plastered all over its walls and windows.
@@bluersonic9528 Except that Fortnite doesn't really have any recognizable characters or anything like that that would be easy to make bootleg toys out of.
There used to be an unauthorised funhouse travelling German Fairs literally called "Super Mario World". They got a seize and desist message from Nintendo and now it's called "Super Marci World" Or "Super Maji World". Not sure. They changed Mario's face to a very bad jewish or Nigel Thornberry caricature.
Related to sega but not this vid, A genesis mini ad played before this video, watched it all the way through, Love how the creator of Toejam and earl hummed out the games theme 👌🏻
I remember there being a funhouse in my carnival which was Mario bros arcade themed with a bunch of Mario bros arcade artwork but they later rebranded it to be cartoon alien themed
It's not too outlandish, but a Go-Karting place near me named 'Full Throttle Raceway' offer a Super Mario themed party, in which costumes and theming based on Mario Kart are provided additionally with the standard children's karting party. Their official leaflets make no attempt to hide the fact that they're using Nintendo properties - they even have Mario's render ripped straight from Super Mario Run front and center on the cover. Their mascot also happens to unapologetically be The Stig from Top Gear, who is featured on most of their marketing and posters that are hung in the establishment. That's the biggest local example that I have of a company using popular characters (presumably without liscence) in rather questionably legal ways.
In the village I live in, there is a small advertisement of a propan-butan bottle company hanged on the fence in front of one of the houses. It has a stolen Mario artwork with different colors and the company's logo instead of M on the cap.
ah yes, i remember when price wore that bandanna that one time...for sure. just as iconic as his old hiding in a plastic bag...and who could forget "?" truly iconic. looking forward to seeing him in modern gear solid this year.
Badnik, I also found out that there's a company that actually makes MODELS of Orjan Orra's red sonic-themed truck. so not only is the company itself benefiting from illegal use of sonic, but the toy company, WSI Models, is agreeing to make unlicenced merch of it!
yesterday i found some bootleg sonic figures that used mish-mashes of numerous sonic game, movie, and, even fan art, and it had super sonic in one of them with a broken head
While I don't go to funfairs, I've seen unauthorised use of lots of characters from the outside. One that almost always is there is a fricking Minion-and it's always the same art. Once, I saw some ride which had mostly Pixar characters, like Buzz Lightyear, Mike Wasowski, etc., and of course there was a fricking Minion right in the middle. why
I wondered why that funhouse seemed familiar, that same travelling amusement park came to my home town too once! Glad to see they're still about, I realy need to try going to it if it returns; I have a new reason to check out the funhouse! :D That and I never got a chance to try it out :)
3:47 I know it's late but I believe that's Snake, the beard and bandana are almost the exact same. However I don't know where that artwork comes from, maybe it's a drawing of a cutscene from MGS1 (Twin Snakes)or 2.
0:06 Incorrect name aside, that toy is based on an actual fan character (who is ironically a fan interpenetration of an unused version of Sonic X's Super Sonic).
5:03 I love how it sounded like like he was trying to say, "I wonder what it would look like if Sonic and Tails had a child.", in a more christian way.
The koala Mario isn't bootleg. It's actually a sculpture made I think for some contest or it was made out of passion and the artist let people use them for whatever
There used to be a chinese restaurant near my mom's workplace called "Yoshi's" and the logo featured Yoshi and his egg. Sadly, it got taken down eventually.
Would Sonichu count as an unauthorized usage of Sonic? I mean Sega obviously knows about it but they haven’t done any to stop it because it’s so funny.
The bootleg metal sonic mentioned is actually supposed to be nazo from a spin-off of a fan-animation by chakra-x. Wonder if he knows his fan animation was so great that it spawned an actual bootleg toy.
At Elementry School (Yes im 11) In the gym My School Parodied The Spongebob Squarepants Theme Song And they used a 2 cliparts of spongebob and on the next lyrics page they used an animation of spongebob doing the christmas dance and its actully a FANART That Someone Made! But they changed it later into their school mascot (Black Cat) and My School is called West Terrace
