The Sonic Origins Experience 

Episode 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PH2PB7zqygs.html Episode 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PH2PB7zqygs.html Episode 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PH2PB7zqygs.html A lot of people correcting me on the Mr. Needlemouse bit. Didn’t know it was just a translation error but thanks for clearing it up.

Funnily enough, the name "Mr. Needlemouse" was a translation error. He was actually called Mr. Hedgehog at first.

Who’s gonna tell him that all of the “drowned” animals were penguins and seals

See, that's the thing, classic Sonic was fast, yes, but it was still, after all, a platformer. Going fast recklessly could end poorly. Also, penguins can generally swim fairly well I think.

The spin dash was brought to sonic 1 in this collection. And the Dropdash was implemented in all 4 games from Sonic Mania

Honestly you replaying Sonic games is really entertaining. You give honest insight and well edited stuff. I know you suffered with 06 and Colors, but I’m sure you’re gonna get a breath of fresh air with Sonic 2, 3, and CD. And hopefully after that you do either Adventure 1 and 2 or Unleashed, because the content for both of those games always end up being good (although for Unleashed it’s a bit of a coin toss on whether it’s loved or hated).

You ever just boot up a sonic game and say aloud SSEEGGAA!!!!

I think back during development, the drop dash was a scrapped ability for one of the classic sonic games (I believe it was for sonic 3, although I may be wrong). The drop dash didn’t see the light of day until mania and it was so good that they added it in the other classic sonic games for origins (they’re even adding it to sonic frontiers according to ign).

I was wondering how long it’d take you to realize the drop dash was in the game

I'm also terrified of Marble Zone and I know why. As a dumbass kid I struggled through Green Hill finding every way in the world to get crushed, and one thing that stuck in my mind was "crushing means instant death", and Marble Zone cemented in my mind that moving object means danger.

"Eggman set up land animals inside of sea robots for sonic to kill them" The animals: literally penguins, adapted to swimming for food

17:46 Fun fact, there is actually an animated short of that on RU-vid 🤣(childhood memories)

11:54 Does Choc not realize that penguins can swim?

When are we getting super sonic maker

My personal favourite classic game is CD I just have such fond memories of that incredible intro and all the levels being so fun

"ha ur bald" one of sonics classic catchphrases

Labyrinth zone is honestly super creepy. The tight spaces, rising water, weird faces in the blocks, limited air (and lives in the original). What stands out most to me is the music, of course the drowning theme is anxiety inducing, but the background music makes it all really unsettling like it’s hiding something (like maybe drowning). Also after getting air stopping the drowning theme, the labyrinth zone theme restarts reminding you that you haven’t escaped yet. Plus scrap brain act 3 being basically labyrinth zone 4 adds some horror in a troll way

Ngl, I was furious at the last part in scrap brain, not only did they have to shove labyrinth zone back in your face, the "Final Zone" is insane because you can't spindash... (In the old one AHEM... Very hard to avoid) Anniversary mode really takes that pressure off lol

I like the personal details and the mini documentary feel at the beginning of the video. Personally, I think I had a very similar experience with sonic but I never owned a Genesis. I would go to my neighbors and we’d play but he was tired of sonic by the time I’d get over. So, I never really played it much. Just loved the advertising and personality from the cartoons. When I got a Dreamcast and played Sonic Adventure 1&2, it was such a rush.

15:00 it’s pretty raw, but to be fair, it’s hard to beat “DOOMSDAY ZONE” Also, I’d agree that Sonic 1 is probably one of the less fun of the Genesis Sonics. It’s still a good game, but it’s just so claustrophobic compared to pretty much every other entry, especially compared to Sonic 2, where you can kinda just pinball your way to victory without waiting for platforms very much

19:08 You can actually hit Eggman as he escapes and it will cause his egg-mobile to break and he will freaking explode off screen.

You can play as super sonic in the first sonic game but only in anniversary mode once you get all emeralds

Yes

Love the content keep it up dude

Time to see if Sonic Origins is worth the time and money

The nostalgia is so heartwarming here. I had forgotten how the first Sonic ended! I've been thinking about getting this next month when I get more cash. We'll see, I guess. But definitely loving this trip down memory lane. Can't wait to see Sonic 2! Thanks for the nostalgia and laughs, Choc 👍👍👍✌️

Sonic 1 special stage...still gives me nightmares till this day 😅

16:02 Speaking of Mega Man, I would love to see Choc play every classic Mega Man game!

Your mention of the Spring Yard music brought this back to me. Back before I knew about the level select codes, I only ever saw Spring Yard through the demo when you leave the title screen on. Despite being almost 30 years ago now, hearing that music makes me remember the automatic demo and nothing else.

This was a very fun video to watch 👌 excited to see choc play sonic 2

Ok I personally want Sonic generations Sonic adventure 2 Sonic adventure Sonic unleashed That’s what i think you should do next

I can't wait to see the rest.

Love the high quality thumbnail!

9:04 theres actually a good tactic here, go from right to left one by one

It’s great to finally be able to have Sonic 3 and Knuckles accessible on more modern hardware, as due to music copyright and all that with Michael Jackson, it never got to be put on the App Store with Sonic 1, 2, and CD.

Sonic Origins was a lot of fun tbh, even with the issues

16:20 sometimes i really gotta thank sega for making the classic games conveniently available on mobile for free (with ads, though)

Gotta say, the 60fps when zoomed in is satisfying >3

i'm not used to seeing gameplay of people who haven't sunk thousands of hours into these games. your shittiness is a blessing

Here is some extra details this is not Sonic and Robotnik's first rodeo they have fought each other before based on lines on the manual like "Eggman still haven't learned your lesson," or "This time it will be different Sonic," however this is the first time they fought over Chaos Emeralds and this is Robotnik's first time using animals as organic batteries

Part of me died everytime you missed a chaos emerald.

pro tip: you can skip a good chunk of Scrap Brain 3 if you can get under the sliding platform at the beginning of the act before it reaches the bridge. that's a lot less headaches. pro tip #2: get near an Orbinaut (the red floating orb with the four spiked balls) enough to activate it (its expression and color will change) and let it launch a single ball of spikes. then immediately get it off screen by moving away, and wait a few seconds. return to it and it will have no more spiked balls. also Sonic 1 final boss has no patterns, it's pure RNG. I'd say Sonic 1 is the most difficult of the bunch. but it can be even more challenging if you never tried it and you're going for all emeralds.

6:47 I guess Robotnik made that city in the background as South Island is always moving and isn't marked on any map according to the Sonic 1 manual

Goku first went Super Saiyan in the manga on March 19, 1991 in Japan, and it was animated into the show on June 19 of that same year. Sonic 1 came out _in America_ just a few days later but then came out in Japan a month after the American release. All this just to say that yes, a seventh Chaos Emerald was added _exclusively_ because there are seven Dragon Balls and they wanted Super Sonic to reference the Super Saiyan transformation. And yet, it is still unique in its own way, because the Dragon Balls do not allow Goku to become Super Saiyan, that is simply something he is capable of. The Dragon Balls have always merely granted wishes (or, specifically, summon Shenron who then grants the wish). However, the concept of the Chaos Emeralds scattering to the winds is iconic Dragon Ball as that is exactly what they do upon a wish being granted. This has been Dragon Ball Trivia (As It Pertains To Sonic The Hedgehog). Join me next time when I reveal to you that the Sonic 06 trio of Sonic, Shadow, and Silver is literally just Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks. Actually, I just did that now. Damn it.

" *COPE* " ahh yes, my favorite sonic catchphrase.

Watching choc playing origins. Gets a sonic origins ad. Quite the good timing lol

3:48 i know it was supposed to be a joke, but the irony here is there actually is a ton of collision bugs & glitches like this in the game. where the terrain is different, so the jump distances are higher, the amount of room between the edges of the screen, the platforms & the boss is different because its now widescreen, hitboxes are different & enemy speeds & patterns of attack are slightly different, so no-hit runs that were easy because of 30 years of muscle memory are near impossible because everything is different in this version. so i don't even blame you for getting hit right there. it actually happened to me a lot in sonic 3, which i used to be able to run through with my eyes closed. but in sonic origins, there are tons of small differences that make a no-hit run nearly impossible.

14:44 Welcome to sonic space where you can travel to space at sonic speed

Choc you are amazing

Changing the number of chaos emeralds from 6 to 7 from the secret menu (also the S2+3K powerups) and actually doing that seventh special stage really, really tried my patience in this game. Getting Super Sonic wasn't that much better because you end up getting crushed quicker, haha. I almost wish there was an achievement for it but at the same time, I'm glad there's not. I almost ran out of coins, and I think I might have actually lost a part of my very soul if that had happened to me. It reminds me of when I joined Xbox live and lost the association of my Sonic 06 save to my new profile.

The best sonic gameplay on RU-vid

Hi Choctopus I love this and I hope you have a good day

Choctopus: I don’t remember what the boss is in this stage Me: Eggman/Robotnik

This is just awsome

9:23 drive the spike into my head made me laugh so freaking hard

1:42 well the Sonic 1 and Sonic Chaos manual says you can use the Chaos Emeralds to create Nukes and laser weapons and we all know what happened the last time a nuke was used

6:01 "I know things about not having a life." Well played.

Funnily enough the creator of sonic said for sonic 1 for the special stage the reason why there is a bird in the background or the backgrounds for the special stage is from a dream he had and was the inspiration for the special stages.

This is something i realised for a long time but you can only miss an emerald 4×, after that missing again is failing the treu ending & unless you play a version that added a ring (which origins doesn't do) since you WILL miss 1 ring, even if you got every single 1 in the path of the shortcut, making for 100% runs pretty much take away your chance to take the labyrinth act 1 shortcut before getting to labyrinth act 1 (unless you risk losing another chance)

Finally sonic origins gameplay

Will eventually pick up Sonic Origins myself, for now I'm happy to see it here on Choc's channel! 2:01 He didn't, they added the Spin Dash to Sonic 1 for Origins specifically. 8:42 Yep, they also added the Drop Dash (from Mania, not CD) to every game in this collection. You can say whatever you want about certain aspects of it, but Origins is definitely the best way to play these games for now! 13:08 Seriously, good riddance, not a fan of lives in any game and even less in Sonic. 16:53 You actually had the right idea because in this version of Sonic 1 yes, you can even unlock Super Sonic if you collect all Chaos Emeralds (they even added one to the original six)!

4:24 Marble Zone Negative Emotional Aura

this video is entertaining and good

16:51 You were trying phhahaha, good one

7:20 well it isn't Robotnik jumping around with a spring at the bottom of the Eggmobile

I feel the need to move speed

10:18 cut perfectly into an ad

17:46 Funny, there's a really old 2004-ish Flash Animation based on this idea!

I could feel your emotions throughout the video lol

Honestly? Completely agree about Marble Zone being intimidating! Just watching you play was giving me flashbacks to when I didn't like that area as a kid! Totally feel you there! X'D

I completely understand that comment about children being afraid of weird things in video games When I was little, I turned off my Nintendo ds when the first bowser bossfight started in new super mario bros

I agree with you about Marble Zone. It reminds me of those ancient temples with unspoken dark secrets from PS1 era Final Fantasy games. I wish Sega had worked in lore hints and leaned into that mystery.

Labyrinth Zone with Knuckles is 10x easier because he can just glide around without the water slowing him down

Choc: I didn't get hit, that was a glitch. 2 zones later... WHAT THE, HO- I CLIPPED THROUGH THE FLOOR.

16:43 I think the only employees are badniks and Robotnik himself

13:44 guess he's holding his breath

Sonic CD is the best og Sonic, or at least to me it is :3 Also glad to see you be playing this Choc! Also the bonus stages are so trippy, I love it lol

Hi Choc ive been watching your content for a couple months now and its very fun to watch and i make sure i watch a new video whenever it comes out. So i had a thought, what if you played another zelda game on the channel? Like maybe Skyward Sword or Botw? Just a thought from one of your fans. keep up the good work!

the fact that i got a sonic origins ad while watching this

NICE video it's Awesome

I still have the mega collection on gamecube I've had it for decades now and it's how I got into sonic

It took me forever to see the bluriness in Origins, I am currently watching this in the pitch black and finally noticed the bluriness, thank the gods. Not really cuz its blurry but-

About Sonic 1: It was made to afraid Nintendo with large stages that incentives exploration and to have multiple pa5hs up and down and also have speed. You see... The games that made Mario do the same were Doki Dok---Super Mario Bros 2 and Super Mario World.

"Mobius is saved!" damn good line lol

9:49 ENJOY THE TOTINO'S PIZZA ROLLS, SONIC!!!

He was not called needle mouse that was a mistranslation.

I enjoyed this.

The flash game called Unfair Platformer uses music from the spring hill zone, and it has completely jaded me when I hear that music XD.

Fun facts with Sonic! that purple ocean you're swimming in is lean

You should play Sonic Rush. It’s probably the best modern 2D Sonic game. Then again, there aren’t that many modern sonic games that are just 2D.

0:16 bowser fucking dabs all the way back in the 80s slow it down to 0.25

Death by squishing is the classic hedgehog thing to do 😂

It's gotta go fast-in time

You got to do more parts of Origins

When you mentioned how kids get scared of pretty stupid stuff. Originally, I was jumpscared by that one blue Sonic-like mech. I got over that, then got scared of Bloopers in Mario. After that, I was afraid of fuzzies, when has stuck with me to this day. I'm 19, by the way. :(

3:50 HE RIGHT THO

Let’s see if Choc did another perfect upload.

3:43 you said you were gonna do this without getting hit! I'm calling the semantics police!

"Gotta go fest' GOTTA GO FEST! GOTTA FESTER FESTER FESEFESEFESTER!"

"if you're watching this, I'm sorry" Please take a second to think about what you just said, choc
