I should have expected you got a log of farts. Welp.

I would probably mostly play as Charmy Bee, because his thing is dishing out first sting, and that sounds useful. Espio's clearly ready to go, but since danger hides when the hyper bee flies, Charmy's the right choice.

So I never beat Sonic 2 as Knuckles. Made it to the final boss regularly as a kid, but that guy is tough as nails. You can only barely jump high enough to hit him, so you have to get in real close, and child me couldn't get consistent enough to get the 12 hits in a row you need. One day, when I was ...

"Why is [Jackpot Sonic Jackpot] worth so much?" Ok, let's talk casino payouts. Because secretly, you just hit the best thing you could hit. The payouts work much like a real casino would, except they seem to come up much more often. First up, we have bar--bar is special 'cause you're rewarded no ma...

Yeah, I'm not at all familiar with this game, and wanted to know what was behind those gates. I'm invested!

Over and over and over...

Nah, but for real, nice job with those. The blue sphere stages can be real tough. Thanks for showcasing the lot of 'em!

So here's a sonic fact! I have a lanyard I saw for sale at a county fair a few years ago. I bought it for the sheer absurdity of it's existence. I need to know how the board meeting went, where President Lanyard said "Everyone, we've got the rights to use Sonic the Hedgehog characters on a lanyard, ...

it doesn't matter anymore there aren't anymore special stages left rip doomsday zone unless raocow wants to dedicate an episode to grinding special stages or using level select Based on past behavior and things he's said, I'm like 90% sure Doomsday zone will happen. I'm just not sure how yet--will ...

"Follow the path. Do not deviate from this pathway", raocow says, just before he turns left and deviates from that pathway.

....you can totally go to the left when jumping off of those spinning propeller things. That's how you get up at that point--snake back and forth on 'em.

hey there raocow. regarding your question about supercharging the emeralds: no, having the first 7 unlocks the true final zone. their supercharged status holds no weight regarding that, so you're good Really? I was prepared to confidently answer the opposite, but I guess I've never tried, so I coul...

The real mystery of Ice Cap is... where did that snowboard come from? canonically, no idea. It just happened to be falling as sonic was falling so he nabbed it. But it was originally meant to be a piece of the Flying Battery when sonic gets out of there--Flying Battery Zone was originally slated to...

man, I know rao already has all 7 emeralds for this bit of game, but it still bothers the completionist in me when he runs right past any place that hides a big ring.

When me and my brother were growing up, we cleared the barrel easy with our super secret strats. Whoever was playing as tails jumped on the barrel a couple times, and whoever was playing as sonic ran underneath while it was up in the air. Took a fair while before either of us could beat the game wit...

I'm surprised no one has brought up the whole hidrocity hidro-city pronounciation thing. I'm team hidro-city. :toaster: I've always gone the other way, but only because I think it's wrong and when I was a kid it was funny to be intentionally wrong sometimes, and it became a bit of a habit. So while...

In the video you said you thought you don't need to collect the rings in the special stages to get a perfect, just make them appear. This is incorrect. Gotta grab all of 'em. Every single stage very intentionally has at least one set of spheres not in a square (or in a 2x2 square, as seen in the fir...

Coconuts strategy of building up the walls in the beginning always amused me to no end.

Because the AI that controls when he gets mad has no idea what the AI that controls his decisions is doing, coconuts tends to make himself mad real quick by building those walls.

I once told my 9 year old nephew, in all sincerity, that I was really bad at this game and he would probably crush me. I genuinely thought he would.

He was not happy when I beat him because I accidentally got a big combo. He didn't wanna play again.

There is no visual tell for this boss, as far as I know. You just have to eventually figure it out. As I recall, the rules are: Hit the button 3 times and he'll put away his socks. He'll put them back up if you: (a) run out of time, (b) fall out of the ship, or (c) hit the button again. Once he puts...

Even the ball falling straight down the middle with no chance for you to catch it isn't luck--a skilled player won't let themselves get in that position in the first place. How can anyone do that when the ball goes into a chain of areas where it bounces around by itself for 15 seconds and then fall...

I can appreciate pinball as a score-attack game, not so much when you are given specific objectives cause then it turns into "you gotta aim at this specific tube three times to win" which can take from a couple minutes to an hour depending on luck. Case in point, the last emerald that raocow collec...

raocow you have to start over, you missed the secret bonus minigame for getting all the rings in the level. Fun fact, this game has a two player mode. In it, you just take turns, with each player playing until they either die or beat the game, then control switches to the other player. Not until the...

Oh man, hearing the music in this video gave me an insane nostalgia blast. I played this game a LOT on my game gear--this, Sonic 2, Triple Trouble, and power rangers where pretty much all I ever played on that thing. I'm looking forward to this one.

When me and my brother were real real little, we called this level "the crying level", 'cause the opening few notes of the music kinda sounded like a cry to us. Good times.

at one point they also just randomly wrote blaze as being from the future in sonic 06 despite that in sonic rush she was literally the princess of an alternate dimension's kingdom . they've gone with alternate dimension for now but I'm legit convinced that in 06, there was supposed to be a plot twi...
