Original Thread: Movin' with the Quickness Since 1991 - Let's Play 20 Years of Sonic [VLP]

 

Introduction





Sonic the Hedgehog is twenty years old, and because the world TOTALLY needs more Sonic LPs (), you are formally invited to join my buddy Keith and I as we embark on what will surely come to be known as the worst idea we ever brought to fruition. Internet, you make us do such terrible things to ourselves.

In the spirit of the recently released Sonic Generations, we will peer into Sonic's past to experience some of his most revered (and reviled) adventures. We'll recall hedgehog-related anecdotes from our childhoods, provide a bit of historical context, crack a few jokes, and probably lose our minds. But it's a risk we're willing to take.



This is a conversational LP. Other than the order in which we will play the games (chronological), there will be little structure. Commentary is recorded in real time as we play, topics of conversation will occasionally drift away from the game at hand be whatever the fuck we want, and there will be a fair amount of friendly ribbing. This is by design; These are the kinds of videos we enjoy making, and the kind we enjoy watching. We hope you do too.



According to the Giant Bomb wiki, Sonic has appeared in over 90 video games. We certainly won't be looking at all of them... because we would be dead. However, we will be playing (and probably completing) each of the core line of Sonic games featured in Sonic Generations. Along the way, we'll make brief excursions to knock some pinballs around and play a bit of cards in some of the Blue Blur's more interesting spin-off games almost everything! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!

Sonic
You know Sonic: The blue hedgehog with super speed. In 1991 Sega desired a new mascot to compete with the mass appeal of Mario as Nintendo entered the 16-bit space with the release of the Super Nintendo. The chosen design was a hedgehog dubbed Mr. Needlemouse, created by Naoto Oshima and Yuji Naka, lead artist and lead programmer at Sega AM8. The character was renamed Sonic, Sega AM8 was renamed Sonic Team, and the rest is history. The Sega Genesis went on to enjoy massive success worldwide, thanks in no small part to the wild popularity of the anthropomorphic rodent, who, for a time, was considered Mario's greatest rival. Some bad stuff happened later on, but let's not think about that until it's absolutely necessary...


Dr. Robotnik Eggman
Sonic's arch nemesis, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik is a mad scientist and creator of myriad diabolical machines. Using his army of "badniks," harmless animals captured and transformed into malicious robotic servants, Robotnik is hell bent on collecting the mystical chaos emeralds and using their power to enslave the world and turn the planet into one enormous, malevolent industrial sprawl.
