so far, raocow has played 5 racing sonic games, including 2 where racing was only a standalone mode of the game (sonic 3 and this). chao races don't count because clearly you're not racing. out of these, only 2 have allowed sonic and pals to race on foot, ostensibly the method by which sonic is fas...

it ruins my immersion that mario is supposedly "going to heaven" after his actions in the first level

it amuses me that we have now found the exact same tiny chao garden in three games. it's such unapologetic reuse of assets. i hope it's also in advance 3 completely unmodified. afaik all gba emulation known to man has big control latency problems for reasons i am unaware of, so playing rhythm games ...

take that, bologna and egg man!



should've watched the sonic advance pinball machine promotional video they sent out to arcade operators for this sweet tip for expert pinball wizards

it takes some big chutzpah to drop a 42069 double-header in the first minute of your game, but i'll allow it because i assume there is at maximum one more cutscene for the rest of the playthrough

the crack intro made me laugh. not only because "haha illicit rom," but also because they're so rare, because rom-proliferating sites have mostly settled on the best, most untouched roms, so the fact that there's still an intro on this one means people cared less about the immaculateness of this gam...

i personally like the levels that look neat

a shame you only get to ride yoshi for 0.5 seconds in this level, as it bereaves us from hearing scooter mode in the music u_u still boggles my mind that this was always a feature in smw music, and i only learned about it recently!

i love to fish with my sonic-themed memorabilia

i hope the other 6 archived sonic cafe games are all cheap card games, games that perhaps have even less connection to the sonic the hedgehog intellectual property

this level had me on the edge of my seat. wendy seemed so affable, so trustworthy!!

funny that we've had two (excellent) tv show theme song levels in a row. there's no chance or reason for it but i'm crossing my fingers for perfect strangers coming next

i applaud the amibition in composing in phrygian mode*

(*you end the song on mi instead of do. one might argue this doesn't mean it's the root note but i thought it was)

this ain't a castle, nor is it roy's one

perhaps it was my fault for taking too much expectation from the title of a level but i greatly anticipated the second level's bgm being loadsamoney and i was let down

they weren't scared by a siren; that's just the inherent charisma of a perfect fifth at work!

funnily enough, the lyric raocow referenced at the start of wandersong yesterday is now appropriate!

knuckle's level start animation is making me very concerned about his right rotator cuff

this level is High YUMP. that is what i am looking for, baby.

just one instance of excellent pet shop boys bop west end girls is already strange for a smoo hack, but two??? which one of these levels was scored first????

really who needs schools to be open when you can get an entire 4-hour course in computability theory by playing a smw hack on youtube

fun fact: the enlarged "footballs" the charlies throw are actually regulation-size rugby balls!

great telepor'ink there, mario! the boss defeat text feels like a very fitting finale to the world of Mario Doing Things i am very confused to how mario got on probation after successfully escaping prison through his toilet. between levels, did we miss a rearrest, a full prison sentence, and a relea...

mario makes a post on the talkhaus

i'm really appreciating the idea that the 999 soundtrack is a natural distillation of the experience of being vegan

whatever the next level is, it's already incredible.

that spritesheet made me realize how it is so weird that ultraspeed sonic doesn't have any animation smears. every game before it has them, so it was clearly an intentional choice to remove them, but it just makes sonic look so much slower? which is weird if this game is the most fastest sonic game ...

who the heck is cream???



please don't disrespect my favorite sonic character, tie fighter on a popsicle on a pair of corner blocks

i guess i slept on the yump lp but the very first episode of this sold me immediately on it, and now that i have consumed a few video's worth of knowledge of what a vanilla yump looks like, i am infinitely more hype for chocolate yump. so much good stuff going on here... i love the zoo, i adore it, ...

please let there never be any reason to ever revisit adventure sonic two: to battle or not to battle, ever again until raocow takes an annotated version of the source code and examines it line by line so that we may experience the very most basic fibers of its mechanics in a way we have not yet appr...

i think to be safe, so we can be sure you looked at all the assets in sonic adventure 2 for the sega dreamcast, and sleep soundly at night, you should spend an episode just reading through its tcrf.net page

this is definitely a very pleasant game that i never played myself yet am happy to see raocow play, but now that i hear it won over ghost trick (GOAT) it feels so much more bittersweet. it following immediately after katamari (whose sequel is ofc second GOAT) would've left me individually elated. no...

"'raocow, you should play the sequel, We <3 Katamari!' I agree!" no raocow, you should play the game that is in front of you, raocow, Katamari Damacy, raocow, please touch the controller you are STILL IN THE GAME raocow YOU HAVE PLAYER AGENCY raocow YOU NEED TO DESTROY THE WORLD I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ...
