I found a funny commercial with Mario and Sonic XD

General Sonic the Hedgehog Thread (Now With Movie 3 & Knuckles)
-
-
Video game commercials went from awesome to awful after the 90's ended.
-
Japanese Video Game commercials are pretty cool though. I mean the animated ones for hand held games atleast.
-
did anyone find catchy froggy about the hardest thing ever…
-
I'm still confused Vector got in. I mean, when people think of Sonic, who thinks of Vector?
And oh god, if he has that voice from Shadow…
-
Don't worry. He will. FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM!
-
I think Sonic 3 is availible for the Wii now and I think soon or has it Sonic and Knuckles will come out!
In my all honest opinion these two games together make the best Sonic game, if not, the best GAME ever..
Creative levels, GREAT music, and one of the best final fights in video game history this game(games) deserves its own thread discuss!
-
You can already play it on Sonic Mega Collection.
Though I agree, Sonic 3 and Knuckles is the best Sonic game without question.
Its one of the top ten platformers for me.1. Super Mario Bros.3
2. Donkey Kong Country 2
3. Super Mario World
4. Kirby Superstar
5. Sonic 3 and Knuckles
6. Donkey Kong Country
7. Super Mario World 2
8. Kirby's Adventure
9. Super Mario Bros.
10. Sonic 2 -
Yeh I got mega collection but I just bought a nintendo wii and soons I get wii points I'm gonna get Sonic 3 but theres no point in getting it without Sonic and Knuckles with it so I must wait =P
-
Mega collection?
WHats the difference between 3 and knuckles version?
-
Debug Mode rocked.
-
I always hated the optional final boss battle. The mandatory stage was okay, but that Doomsday thing… damn.
-
It was just Sonic the Hedgehog 3…with Knuckles. I prefer Sonic CD. not that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 wasn't fun. (special stages suck though)
-

Sonic 3 and Knuckles is…
Sonic 3, and Sonic and Knuckles together as one straight game with a special ending.
Its the way it was meant to be originally.So it goes..
1.Angel Island Zone
2.Hydrocity Zone
3.Marble Garden Zone
4.Icecap Zone
5.Launch Base Zone
6.Mushroom Hill Zone
7.Flying Battery Zone
8.Sandopolis Zone
9.Lava Reef Zone
10.Hidden Palace Zone
11.Sky Sanctuary Zone
12.Death Egg Zone
13.Doomsday Zone -

Yhea thats not just what it was.
-
The stages in the second half were much more entertaining than the first ones were, both graphically and creatively.
Except for Sandopolis. It and Doomsday sucked total ass in an otherwise awesome game.
-
Doomsday was the best part, what you talking about.
-
Doomsday is probably one of the most epic gaming experiences I've ever had, and the music made the experience maybe 10X more awesome.

13.Doomsday ZoneYou missed the Casino Night Zone; it goes between Marble Garden and Icecap Zones, but otherwise that's all of them.
-
I hated how in addition to the regular time limit, you also had to make sure that you didn't run out of rings and fall to your death (in space, whut).
Granted it's been forever since I last played it and I'm far better at games in general now. I've actually been playing through the PC release again, so maybe now I'll enjoy it more, but man it killed me as a kid.
Sandopolis still sucks as much as I remember it, though. Mostly the second act actually.

Hell yhea.
-
This thread makes me sad.
How did my favorite platforming series as a kid go so horrible wrong?
I think I'm going to go buy mega collection plus for playstation tomorrow. I really want to play this again now.
I may get gems too just for the hilariously awful fighter.
but yea, in my mind this was the last game, and the 3D ones are just another one of those horrible Archie spinoffs.
-
Yeah, sad how Sonic fell the fuck off. Still dig his old games tho (more than the 2d marios). Maybe we'll get lucky and Nintendo will get the Sonic license and take a shot at making Sonic not suck anymore.
-
Games are shameless now, but they sell like hotcakes.
Kids like their furry lovable forest friends with "whips and gats". and I can only imagine how many lives they wasted jumping off cliffs to hear Shadow cuss and "ZOMG" with their friends before raiding their uncles porn stash
I'm still looking forward to the RPG that is being developed just because of how much I enjoyed the Superstar Saga games, and the entire time I was playing them, was thinking that Sonic NEEDED a game like this.
I'm desperately clinging to the hope that it will be based solely on the original games and not the 30 stupid animals they added in the 3D ones, but I really doubt that's gonna happen.
and I don't know why, but the GBA and DS 2D ones aren't anywhere near as enjoyable as the originals.
-
That would involve SegaSammy Holdings giving up a huge cash cow like Sonic, which isn't ever going to happen.
-
I was thinking more of a temporary license thing. Kinda like the Capcom vs SNK deal. I figured since Sega is making that potentiall shitty Sonic/Mario Olympic game, we might get a crossover game from Nintendo's camp. It'll never happen tho, just me dreamin really
-
Doomsday was epic indeed.
Still the best Sonic game ever. A true classic, though Sonic 2 holds more sentimental value for me since it was pretty much the first video game I ever beat.
-
I may get gems too just for the hilariously awful fighter.
Fuck you! That was the best franchise spin-off since Virtua Fighter Kids!
…But yeah, I have Gems, Sonic The Fighters is pretty lame, get it for Sonic CD, and Sonic R is surprisingly fun too. The game also has Vecotorman and Vectorman 2 as unlockables.
-
I actually do want to get Gems one day for the fighting game, so I can play as Nack/Fang. I already have all the other Sonic games on the collection though.
Virtua Fighter Kids!
I don't play the VF games, but I do have VF Kids for Saturn, and I like the intro a lot.

I personally think that this both 3 and knuckles together was sonic's LAST epic game….those dreamcast games where...meh but they didn't bring the magic that this game brung....and it had the best music I've in that time ever heard in any video game...
The Ice Cap zone track was...wow epic musical gold! And the doomsday music is stuck in my head for eternity..
Shadow Killed The Sonic Franchise...Then Silver Burried It..
[> mtQtbWifobQ&rel=1
Ice Cap ^ best sonic musical score ever!](
) -
I loved how the Shadow the hedghog graphics were downgraded from Adventure 2 and Heroes'.
More evidence that they just aren't even trying.
Fuck you! That was the best franchise spin-off since Virtua Fighter Kids!
Oh, it was fun as shit. Pizza hut had a machine of it when I was in the 5th-6th grade. My friends and I would waste quarters away on it before, during and after enjoying that pizza buffet thing.
We would just interrupt each other as we made it through story mode only to have our shit wrecked by metal sonic.
It was just…...a bad fighting game. XD(I realize you are joking, but still felt like saying it)
Limited amount of blocks for the fucking lose.
…But yeah, I have Gems, Sonic The Fighters is pretty lame, get it for Sonic CD, and Sonic R is surprisingly fun too. The game also has Vecotorman and Vectorman 2 as unlockables.
I knew about CD, but not the vectorman(which is pretty awesome).
I remember hearing complaints about CD's representation in the game, but forget what it was about.(I think it was the intro or something)
I had CD for PC, but it was defective so I never beat it.
and is Gems on PS2 as well, or just the Cube?
-
I actually do want to get Gems one day for the fighting game, so I can play as Nack/Fang. I already have all the other Sonic games on the collection though.
Sonic Gems was what the collections should have been from the beginning. I wish they could have added the JP only arcade game too. Emulation problems? And Fighters was OK for what it was. Fang was a real pest with his whole projectile fighting style.
-
Oh boy, how this thread brings me good memories… and also sads me about what became of the Sonic franchise.
I agree with Clericshadow that the first Sonic games had the best soundtrack ever. My favorite tunes include Hydrocity Zone and Flying Battery Zone.
-
As good as the first Sonics were, no one beats the Donkey Kong Country Trilogy in the soundtrack department.
-
-
Sonic 3+Knuckles is da and will always be the shit.
I remember when me and my bro frist played it, we felt it was hard as fuck, but after beating a few times it turned out to be an easy game once u knew what u were doing.
I HATE the ruins level from Sonic 3, for various reasons, but Hydrocity may very well be my fav. Sonic stage, and it's a water stage! -
As good as the first Sonics were, no one beats the Donkey Kong Country Trilogy in the soundtrack department.
Oh my Donkey Kong Country flash backs are coming to me =)
-
The DK Country music was shit, heck I'd play the games and WONDER WTF that music that is playing coming from.
BTW anyone know where I can DL the Sonic 3+Knuckles OST? -
Go at Tails Kicks-ass net. They have the soundtrack of all the games there, including of Nights Into Dreams.

We can never, ever, be friends.

How can you not like this song? Porno Music, FTW.

Hey was it just me? Or was it satisfying to kick Knuckles ass in the Hidden Zone Level!
-

Not quite.
Here's how it went. Sonic & Knuckles was supposed to be Sonic 3. However, due to time constraints in trying to rush the game out for Christmas, they had to split the project up into two parts. S&K would eventually be made to connect with Sonic 3 to bring you the full game that was meant to be released. That's why Sonic 3's ending felt so poor and rushed, leaving you feeling like something wasn't truely finished like Sonic 1 and Sonic 2's endings.
And personally, the Get Spheres bonus stages were incredibly fun. Plus Tails doesn't stupidly wreck everything for you, unlike Sonic 2's bonus stages. >:|
Also, you guys thought the Doomsday Zone theme was epic? You should hear this awesome remix: http://blueberry437.free.fr/s3k/album/210%20-%20SnappleMan,%20Ashane,%20norg%20-%20The%20Doomsday%20(Doomsday%20Zone).mp3

@Natty:

The song is called "Aquatic Ambience." Holy fuck, DKC was great as shit. -Goes to play it on the Wii-
-
I also agree. DKC was great and had a fuck-awesome soundtrack for something that came out before 3D games were starting to emerge.
-
All I remember was that SANDOPOLIS fucking sucked
oh, and the DKC games were stellar.
-
Whoa, that video clip reminded me of the time I saw SNES displayed as cutting edge new technology in a mall somewhere.
-
I loved Sonic & Knuckles! It's one of my favorite platformers. Reading this topic reminds me of the times my brother and I would try so hard to get all the emeralds. But, we ended up using this one cheat for only having to get one blue sphere to get an emerald.
-
Oi just cuz I don't like the DKC music, don't mean I don't like the game. I actually beat DK1 a while ago and now that I think about it, I need to get back into DK2 and finish it already.
BTW fuck the haters, Dixie's my fav. Kong.I remember how tedious Sandopolis was, until my bro showed me how to beat it, then it was smooth sail from there. The boss of Sandopolis was about the most hilarious boss in a Sonic game.
-
I found the 2nd Act of Sandopolis horrible to play. Those damn ghosts keep stalking us through the whole stage and we still have to worry about time and opening the doors to go forward.
