  • CARTOON EVOLUTION #31 / POP CULTURE EVOLUTION #4 - SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
    First debuting in 1991, Sonic the Hedgehog instantly put Sega on the map as a force to be reckoned with in the gaming industry. Helping the fledgling company quash its competition (including Nintendo's Super Mario), Sonic became one of the most beloved pop culture icons in history. Thirty-plus years on, Sonic has appeared in over 100 video games, moving over 1 billion units. Spawning an entire franchise, Sonic has also appeared in comic books and manga, numerous animated series and anime, and currently two live-action features. In this video, we’ll trace the inception and creation of Sonic and spotlight his impact on pop culture - through his evolution through games and extended media over the course of three decades. In this edition of Cartoon Evolution presents Pop Culture Evolution.

    While the Marioverse of Nintendo will always be my top favorite, Sonic is a strong, close second. And if anything, the fact that Sega was more open to outside adaptions than Nintendo is made the character more accessible to those who didn't even play his games initially. We're still getting Sonic cartoon series when Mario's last one was decades ago and not very good.

    one minor correction with Sonic's inclusion in Smash Bros. is that he was actually not the first non-Nintendo guest character to be featured, he was the second. the first being Solid Snake. Sonic's inclusion was actually a decision late in development that caused the game to be delayed a few months so he could be programed in.
    But overall I really liked this Cartoon/Pop Culture Evolution. you touched on some media of sonic I didn't even know about. Great job overall!

    One thing to note is that when creating sonic they came up with some other ideas like a bunny that could grab stuff with his ears. This was shelved so they could focus on finding a good mascot but was later tooken off the shelf and turned into the game Ristar. You play as a stare with stretchy arms who is way slower than sonic but way easier to control.
    I definitely would like to see a sequel/reboot to it.

I did see the first trailer and I was excited and looking the criticism on Sonic's original CGI realistic design I can understand where they're coming from I personally like the final design better and the Sonic the Hedgehog movie from 2020 is absolutely great same goes to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and I do remember seeing one episode on Sonic X back in mid or late 2021. It's amazing that Sonic the Hedgehog has been around over 30 years and still continuing to this day.

    I loved this video! It was almost 40 minutes but I wanted to point out SegaSonic the Hedgehog (1993). It was an arcade game that allowed up to three players, and each character was controlled by spinning a trackball. Released only in arcades, this was the first time Sonic would appear in an isometric style. The other characters you could play as were Ray the Flying Squirrel and Mighty the Armadillo. They would not be seen again until Sonic Mania in 2017 in the form of "Missing" posters in select levels, but were later added in with the Sonic Mania Plus DLC as fully playable characters. I know the video focuses on Sonic, but I like to share this piece of the history.

    Cool fact: the bunny concept art of Sonic (the one that got scrapped due to technological restraints) was revisited with the later genesis character Ristar, a character similarly designed to Sonic that could use his stretchy arms to pick up enemies, objects, swing on poles and climb walls.

    Sonic is one of my past memories that I ever played games on my Nintendo GameCube before lost it forever. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is one of those games I've gotten one as my first game to remember; even if before knowing their past games though. Since then, I do enjoy Sonic X anime in some episodes for fun.

    I remember how confusing having the 2 Sonic tv shows airing simultaneously was for me as a kid. 'Cause I only liked one of them! 😆I really loved the action-oriented Sonic the Hedgehog series with Princess Sally Acorn (I still remember the theme song) but, I hated the more slapstick Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. In the local TV guides, they just listed both of the series as Sonic the Hedgehog so, every time I tried to watch it, I'd always cross my fingers that it would actually be the version of the show that I liked (obviously, I was like 7 years old so I never remembered which channel which version lived on). And I'd always be so disappointed when it was the wrong one! 🤣(I loved the Sonic comic books too! 😁)
    And you, actually, forgot to mention that you could also hook Sonic 2 into the Sonic and Knuckles game, as well (though the video kinda implied it). If you did that, you could play through all of Sonic 2 as Knuckles! 😊

    I don't even believe the film has a mixed reception as fans and audience are giving it positive reviews... It's just the snobbish critics who just doesn't understand Sonic that's giving it the negative reviews.
    Heck one of the reviews said a few homophobic slurs and insults saying Sonic and Tails are in a romantic relationship...(Trying to force their views to the extremist, believing two boys can't hug each other) This shows you can't take anything of what their saying seriously.
    The film was legitimately amazing, as a person who've waited for a live action Sonic the Hedgehog film since SA2 this movie captures the very spirit, heart and essence of those older 3D titles.
    Anyways amazing video! Are you going to do the voice evolution next for Sonic? Those tend to be my favorite videos by you

    • @DaveLeeDownUnder
      @DaveLeeDownUnder  2 года назад +2

      I agree, the movie was fantastic. However, the fact that audiences and critics largely disagreed on the movie is the definition of a “mixed” reception.

The other perpetrators of my rise to Sonic fandom was the OVA movie, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic X, and Paramount's Sonic movies. Since then Sonic became a part of my life as a pop culture fanatic.
