"Now lets learn about the jump dash" *A few seconds later* "Is there, is there like a dash i could do?" I love Arin, also in his defense, the game never stopped him to show how to dash
Yeah it's like, here's how you move left and right, now move left or right before continuing. Here's how to jump, now jump before continuing. Now here’s something comparatively mechanically challenging compared to the previous two. I dunno, figure it out on your own.
My nephew got this game for Christmas right when it came out. And I felt awful that my sister spent money on this game, because he got stuck on this same jump right at the end of this episode. He handed the Wiimote to me and said "I'm stuck on the tutorial. Can you help me?" I could not. And I was filled with an indescribable rage. So I'm eager to see the next episode and how the boys are gonna get out of this jam.
Oh, you just want to see how they are going to get out of this jam so you can get out of this jam, lol, I know you are going to play this game again as soon as you figure out the jump.
Every moment I was watching Sonic and the Black Knight, hearing Arin complain about how awful the controls were, how terrible, poorly coded and unbeatable the game was, I have been waiting. For this day. This moment. This point in time. Where Arin realizes he feel and never even hit the floor level.
LITERALLY!? You realize you idiot millennials keep using that word in the complete opposite way it's intended. So bad, you only say that shit because everyone else your age says it and you are too fucking stupid to think for yourself. Literally. So fucking terrible.
+Destiny Torres SATBK is awesome.I fought the first villain of the game and i loved too much that i replayed again for a better performance. This game,however, i can say by myself for self-experience that this game is annoying, have bad controls and It's not only bad,it's hard,almost impossible to get 100% of it,and sucks so bad.
On the one hand, I get weirdly defensive when people shit on this game. But like, I played this for a few days after being so Pumped about it. It isn't just me, everyone hates the controls. I shouldn't feel defensive I should feel VALIDATED wtf?
I remember this being the first game I played on the Wii when I was a kid and I cried because I thought for sure the Wii was broken. Nope, controls were just _really_ bad.
I honestly feel bad for the money and time you wasted to play a shitty game like this, but if Sega refunded you they'd have to do it to everyone, but they would go bankrupt.
This was my first Sonic game and I absolutely hated it. Secret Rings is one of the few examples of the 'bad' motion controls being the game's fault rather than the player's. The only fun part of this game is the Party Mode, but most of the unlockables in that mode are unlocked by collecting all the red rings in story mode. So of course I just stopped playing after a few months. What I'm saying is that I can't wait for Arin to lose his mind at this
Sonic and the secret rings is one of the few sonic games I think is actually bad. Fun fact, this game was made because they promised to make a sonic game for the wii. It was originally going to be an 06 port which was still in production at the time but they discovered there was no way to make an 06 port for the wii. They decided to instead cut the 06 team in half, one half continues to make 06 and the other half made this one.... this also contributes to why 06 is bad. Sonic and the black knight is actually good though.
This is the first sonic game I owned and I would completely disagree with you. Sure the motion controls aren't the best but they aren't impossible to use. One thing I will agree with you though is that I can't wait to see Arin lose his sanity and for Dan to complain about how bad the game is despite not having the controller for a single minute if the lets play.
I love both the storybook games. To me honestly, Black Knight was the last time a Sonic game actually felt like a Sonic game, because it had a lot of influence of the Adventure games. It had soul. From the writing, the voice acting, to the music. And nailed Sonic’s trademark snarky attitude to a T. Not to mention the controls fixed the issues Secret Rings had.
The best thing about secret rings is the soundtrack.It's definitely one of my favorites in the franchise,but the rest of the game...not so good,at least the controls.
I was given this game a while back. I must have played this game maybe only 2 or 3 times, because it gave me flashes of white hot rage as the controls were straight garbage and shit never worked right. So I am anticipating good things from this series. Good luck, Arin.
According to an interview, the people who have been writing modern Sonic games ARENT EVEN FANS OF SONIC. Sega has been a fucking trainwreck since 2002.
I remember getting this game when I was a wee lad. I saw the cover and the name and was like "Oh man this is gonna be sick I can't wait to get home to play it." I got home and loaded it up, I played the first tutorial level and thought to myself, "This is garbage I can't believe I got this." In other words, I know this is gonna be a good series.
Hoan I don't think arin will do SA2 because its kind of hard but then again it'll be hilarious to see him fail a thousand times especially on the treasure hunting stages
I WANT NOTHING MORE THAN FOR THEM TO DO CHAO GARDEN ADVENTURE 2 USED TO BE MY FAVORITE GAME when I was young and stupid BUT I WANT THEM TO RAISE THOSE LITTLE SHITS AND TAKE EM TO SCHOOL AND TEACH EM KARATE
I feel like the premise for the original Sonic games wasn't strong enough to carry on for 30 years, so the creative teams assigned to the property get high and make games off the first word that gets thrown out there. "Werewolves", "Genies", "Mario party"
@@bentonknox5240 You mean the premise of a plumber jumping on turtles to save a princess? I don't think it's any stronger of a premise. If anything, it shows that the people behind Sonic were incapable of making something interesting beyond the fact that they have a fast hedgehog, so they decided to get him involved in shit that barely fits, if at all. The strength of Mario isn't the premise but the colorful world and its characters. With this sort of premise you could've imagined a cool knight (or any cool dude) in armor fighting your classic dragon or whatever, but no, you get a plumber. The great thing about it is that Mario isn't intrinsically cool as a character, yet that's what makes him Mario, he's cool for what he accomplishes. Also he's not tied to a specific trait like Sonic is, which makes him malleable for many different and weird ideas. The point I'm trying to make is that the same concept of Sonic was to counter Mario, his specialty being speed (and also being raaaaadical!), which gravely limits what he can and can't do or can be since who he was was already set in stone. Again, Bowser King of Koopas, he's clearly a dragon but not just a regular fantasy dragon, he's in line with other koopas that are turtles, which makes him unique and clever. Robotnik on the other hand? He's just a mad scientist of some kind that traps animals into robots and is obsessed with jewelry for whatever reason. He can't be much else. Mario's world is wacky and full of possibilities, having weird shit like flowers that make you shoot fire, plants that come out of pipes to eat you, dinosaurs with long tongues and whatnot. What was Sonic's way of competing with that? A fast blue hedgehog, robot animals and tvs that gave you bland protective shields...and rings, I guess.
Mr Savage in my opinion sonic unleashed and sonic and the secret rings are 2 of the best. sonic and the black knight, sonic generations and sonic boom are 3 of the worst
I'm positive they've gotten further, but still, to get past that end point bullshit you jump and then shake the controller to dash forward. Ironically enough, this is also the main way you deal damage and kill enemies. *AND THEY NEVER TELL YOU THIS.*
"Eh, You've played sonic for wii before, right? We don't need certain actions explained in the tutorial, they're so intuitive." srs though This is gunna be sonic and the black knight all over again and I can't wait
I feel bad for the 3 fans this game has who also happen to watch Game Grumps who will get upset at Arin and maybe even Dan justifiably not liking this game. Edit: Excluding the times Arin doesn't follow instructions, of course.
I like this game, but yeah, it's shit. The only way it's fun is after you waste hours of your life unlocking a ton of the skills and applying them to make Sonic faster and quicker to respond. Yup, you gotta grind the shit out of the game to make it fun.
Man, I played this so much as a kid, and when you get REAL good at it there's fun to be had, but yeah, any criticism found in this series is probably deserved.
Fun Culture Fact! The fire isn't to look edgy. In Arabic art, fire is usually used to signify divinity. Basically the game is holy. Do what you wish with this information!
Where did you hear this? It sounds kinda like bullshit, cuz how does something go from shitty port to shitty original spinoff game based on arabian themes? Not calling you a liar, it just sounds like a stretch is all.
It's true. And also, this game is far worse than 06 IMO. Plus, if this game had stayed in development as another 06 version, it would have come out at a later date, and therefore been a more finished version of the game than the 360/PS3 (because no rush)... So overall terrible move changing production to Secret Rings
Game Grumps and Sonic.......never before since the days of Peanut Butter & Jelly has a combo gone together so wonderfully. God damnit, this is going to be a great series. :^)
Erica Schroeder, also known as Bella Hudson. She's done a lot of stuff. Video game and Anime voice acting is a pretty small, insulated community sometimes, unfortunately.
I was just about to send them my old copy of this game for them to play, then this happens. Oh well. At least I get to see Arin suffer, even if I don't get to be responsible for it. I hope they finish it, since I never bothered to, but I'd be impressed if they do.
Impossible. the controls for this game are WORSE. trust me, i first played this as a kid and then played black knight as an adult. they're both terrible but this is just. man this is just bad. you can't even just waggle your controller
... I preferred this... I played secret rings first and got used to the controls and then got black knight right after and couldnt grasp the world map or what was happening and i never really got the controls either and i thought i was at the end of the game like 3 times and then beat it without ever figuring out what was going on but then again when i was a kid i mainly played games in marathons going into the early hours of the morning so i was probs pretty tired but i still found secret rings slightly more understandable. and the jank was only with movement and not with also your primary attack method.
there is a level in some palace a bit past the midway point where the motion controls just fucking shit themselves. at the time i just thought my perfectionist side was trying to be too precise and that the game was just difficult but... oooooooh boi no.. the motion controls often register backwards. the dash mechanic does NOT pair well with level speed when you really get going. this game as far as its programming id say was actually polished more than some of the other sonic games but oh my lord its motion control adaptations are terrible.i guarantee arin will not finish this game within 3 years of now (EDIT) PS: i consider myself pretty quick to pick games up and more often than not im bored in tutorials and hate the deliberately slow pace... im not the best im definitely not slow when it comes to intuition but this game... this game was an experience
Buckle up, folks. The later episodes are going to be amazing.
hold onto your scring rings
Oh look, it's my savior.
I'm gonna be honest, this game wasn't perfect but the speed you could get Sonic to reach with all the upgrades felt so amazing.

The strength of Mario isn't the premise but the colorful world and its characters.
With this sort of premise you could've imagined a cool knight (or any cool dude) in armor fighting your classic dragon or whatever, but no, you get a plumber. The great thing about it is that Mario isn't intrinsically cool as a character, yet that's what makes him Mario, he's cool for what he accomplishes. Also he's not tied to a specific trait like Sonic is, which makes him malleable for many different and weird ideas.
The point I'm trying to make is that the same concept of Sonic was to counter Mario, his specialty being speed (and also being raaaaadical!), which gravely limits what he can and can't do or can be since who he was was already set in stone.
Again, Bowser King of Koopas, he's clearly a dragon but not just a regular fantasy dragon, he's in line with other koopas that are turtles, which makes him unique and clever.
Robotnik on the other hand? He's just a mad scientist of some kind that traps animals into robots and is obsessed with jewelry for whatever reason. He can't be much else.
Mario's world is wacky and full of possibilities, having weird shit like flowers that make you shoot fire, plants that come out of pipes to eat you, dinosaurs with long tongues and whatnot. What was Sonic's way of competing with that? A fast blue hedgehog, robot animals and tvs that gave you bland protective shields...and rings, I guess.
Finally... FINALLY they did it! I have been waiting for this a long time!
It’s it that bad?
Edit: Like motion control bad?
Justin Arauza You tilt the wiimote to move, so yeah. It’s stupid to the point to where I go back to loving it again.
To put in prospective it makes black knights controls scheme a fucking masterpiece.
Alex Pufahl Welp...Maybe it will go smoothly.
Looks like *WII* are gonna have a good time with this and skyward sword going on :)
That was bad
i dont think skyward sword will be back in a while :c
Well, you know at least Skyward Sword is a good videogame dispite its problems, this is just another shitty Sonic game.
I un-ironically love the song to be honest. Game is hilariously bad though.
Music is great but the game isn't really bad to be honest
LunaBit the game is so bad it's so good in my opinion
@@justrevvy2001 exactly😂
Mr Savage I haven't played sonic and the secret rings for 7 years, but I still have it
Mr Savage in my opinion sonic unleashed and sonic and the secret rings are 2 of the best. sonic and the black knight, sonic generations and sonic boom are 3 of the worst
I'm embarrassed to say this was my first Sonic game
Yea...
I'm so sorry
My first was Black Knight.
I'm in the same boat as you sadly.
You have my pity
Mine was Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games 2007
This was my second. My first was sonic heroes
Someone got paid to write this
The dueling cavalier
Yeah probably one of the coders
The game made money...... and yet I’m in twenty grand of student debt....... I don’t wanna lie in this ass-backward world anymore....
This has inspired me to write. That and Death Bed; The bed that eats people.
I'm positive they've gotten further, but still, to get past that end point bullshit you jump and then shake the controller to dash forward. Ironically enough, this is also the main way you deal damage and kill enemies.
*AND THEY NEVER TELL YOU THIS.*
"Eh, You've played sonic for wii before, right? We don't need certain actions explained in the tutorial, they're so intuitive."
srs though This is gunna be sonic and the black knight all over again and I can't wait
Wow, so for once its not Arins fault
ah, I love how awful this game is 😂😂😂
I always love when Dan says something, it doesn't happen, and he just goes "Ok..." His commentary is always the best
Oh no
.......
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Oh well..
PixxelTrixx yes ho no in deed
Oh yess
Oh yes
Remember that old Jontron video where he joked that before Sonic team made Colors that they were doing cocaine and meth?
I don't think he was joking.
Why would they need Colors when they already see them when they're on a trip?
"THE FUCK IS A SONIC"
Welcome to Sonic Team, we make games I think
Okay, mate, so like, Sonic, goes down to the RadioShack, 'n gets a few components...
Secret rings is an absolute atrocity.
I feel bad for the 3 fans this game has who also happen to watch Game Grumps who will get upset at Arin and maybe even Dan justifiably not liking this game.
Edit: Excluding the times Arin doesn't follow instructions, of course.
The Memessiah so basically a typical game grumps series?
I like this game, but yeah, it's shit. The only way it's fun is after you waste hours of your life unlocking a ton of the skills and applying them to make Sonic faster and quicker to respond. Yup, you gotta grind the shit out of the game to make it fun.
Jesse Walker you know damn well that he wont
Man, I played this so much as a kid, and when you get REAL good at it there's fun to be had, but yeah, any criticism found in this series is probably deserved.
"Now rub the ring"
"Like this???"
*oh yes. harder*
When I saw this in my notifications I immediately started laughing menaically. Looking forward to much Arin rage.
*Looks at thumbnail*. *grich like smile forms on face*
Fun Culture Fact! The fire isn't to look edgy. In Arabic art, fire is usually used to signify divinity. Basically the game is holy. Do what you wish with this information!
I'm gonna worship sonic
Tch, you weren't already? And you call yourself a game grumps fan /s
It's for divinity and for edge, one doesn't exclude the other ;)
The thumbnail says “*Soinc: the and Scring Rings”
it says soinc, not sonic lol
Wow that’s not even spelled right
@@HnTr_VDH woah
3:02 - The rumour come out: Does Sonic the Hedgehog is snore?
Fun fact: This game began development as a Wii port of Sonic 06. Purely based on that, I can tell Arin's gonna have a _great_ time.
Where did you hear this? It sounds kinda like bullshit, cuz how does something go from shitty port to shitty original spinoff game based on arabian themes? Not calling you a liar, it just sounds like a stretch is all.
It's true. And also, this game is far worse than 06 IMO. Plus, if this game had stayed in development as another 06 version, it would have come out at a later date, and therefore been a more finished version of the game than the 360/PS3 (because no rush)... So overall terrible move changing production to Secret Rings
@@ColeEssmid 06 is worse man
It's true, Sega confirmed this themselves.
Alternate Episode Title: "Ohh Noooo ~"
4:18 I suddenly came to the realization this story would make more sense with Big the Cat
Game Grumps and Sonic.......never before since the days of Peanut Butter & Jelly has a combo gone together so wonderfully. God damnit, this is going to be a great series. :^)
Did anyone else notice " scring rings" in the thumbnail
Soinc the and Scring Rings
Nephilem X blue guy in the shh circles
And here I was worried I was having a stroke
No
i thought it said string beans
Yes! It's another Sonic game... Wait... Shit! It's another Sonic game!
You must stop the erazor Djinn From escaping the book, Sonic!
You got it! (Tosses the book in the fireplace)
This is the cuphead tutorial all over again
To be fair, this game didn't actually tell them how to perform the maneuver.
@@cdjblue super hard to figure out on a controller with 4 action buttons...
Lol true story
Haha yes! Oh man! This sonic game is so much pain 😂 this is going to be so much fun! 💜
It's SOINC, not Sonic. Look at the thumbnail 🍄
I hate it so much.
When I was 10 I got this for Wii and even then I played the first level and never touched it again. This game SUCKS BAAAD!!!
ughhh i remember playing it as a kid. i recently played it and remembered that it sucked assssss haha!
Lol the girl who voiced that pinked hair girl in this game also voiced the dark magician girl in Yu-gi-oh
Either post some R34 or get lost.
Erica Schroeder, also known as Bella Hudson. She's done a lot of stuff. Video game and Anime voice acting is a pretty small, insulated community sometimes, unfortunately.
thats actually pretty cool, i never noticed.
it was 4kids cast after all
Jrey1803 and Shadow dad Voices Goku you wonder why Goku black sounds amazing
If I could sum this game up in one word, yep. It would probably be, “Jump?”

This game is literally Aladdin but with Sonic characters.
Well I mean, Aladdin was a story in Arabian Nights. That being said, this is quite possibly the most idiotic interpretation I've seen.
@@OsnosisBones It was meant to be a joke.
and shitty controls
The goodbye Kremlin joke made me instantly hyped for this series.
Did it not tell him how to dash, and then require him to dash to complete the level?
It told him to, but then you could complete the first section without dashing and not get the hint again for the second part...
God I hate this _shitty_ excuse for a game.
*THIS SERIES IS GONNA BE AMAZING!!!*
(or frustrating...)
Most likely both
I was just about to send them my old copy of this game for them to play, then this happens. Oh well. At least I get to see Arin suffer, even if I don't get to be responsible for it. I hope they finish it, since I never bothered to, but I'd be impressed if they do.
they literally have so many copies of this game that they are give it out in gift boxes
Erazor djin literally means eraser genie... good job sonic team
And it sounds like a hair removal tonic.
And at 1:43 you can see his weapon of choice... a razor.
God, how can I become that CLEVER?!
Anyone else see this on their recommended in 2019?
And on the same day
Nah man, 2020 for me
Recommended by UA-cam in May of 2020 (I ain’t complaining though. I’ll always accept more Grumps)
2020
...You know what would be funny?...If Arin likes this game somehow over Black Knight.
Impossible. the controls for this game are WORSE. trust me, i first played this as a kid and then played black knight as an adult. they're both terrible but this is just. man this is just bad. you can't even just waggle your controller
... I preferred this...
I played secret rings first and got used to the controls and then got black knight right after and couldnt grasp the world map or what was happening and i never really got the controls either and i thought i was at the end of the game like 3 times and then beat it without ever figuring out what was going on but then again when i was a kid i mainly played games in marathons going into the early hours of the morning so i was probs pretty tired but i still found secret rings slightly more understandable. and the jank was only with movement and not with also your primary attack method.
I think this game has a better setting, aesthetic, music, story, and level design (as far as looks go) than Black Knight
It wildly depends on whether or not there is some unavoidable chin move present in the game.
I agree with you on the setting, aesthetic and music. But story and level design? Black knight totally surpasses this.
Another one of Sega’s experimental Sonic titles for the Wii. And uh...one of the many games where Sonic ISN’T the fastest thing alive.
Hey at least the party game mode is... interesting.
when sonic runs with his arms moving back and forward, you know the game is gonna be interesting, lol
*That thumbnail.....its.....ITS PERFECT*
I young me once said: "Oh, it's time I finally get into Sonic the Hedgehog." And I picked up THIS game. And I never became a Sonic fan.
Well hopefully this Sonic game won't need a break, there's nothing equivalent to an unavoidable chin move right? ..... right?
Nope, just hideously broken controls instead. Out of all the sonic games I own it’s the one I gave up trying to finish.
What about unavoidable Erazor attack?
I can imagine that fast move of Erazor's will fuck him. It basically requires time break or super accurate timing.
there is a level in some palace a bit past the midway point where the motion controls just fucking shit themselves. at the time i just thought my perfectionist side was trying to be too precise and that the game was just difficult but... oooooooh boi no.. the motion controls often register backwards. the dash mechanic does NOT pair well with level speed when you really get going. this game as far as its programming id say was actually polished more than some of the other sonic games but oh my lord its motion control adaptations are terrible.i guarantee arin will not finish this game within 3 years of now
(EDIT)
PS: i consider myself pretty quick to pick games up and more often than not im bored in tutorials and hate the deliberately slow pace... im not the best im definitely not slow when it comes to intuition but this game... this game was an experience
I had to stop playing this game three times before I had the nerve to completely finish it.
The party mode in this game was my shit
I only enjoyed the boat race mode
Yes! I loved the party mode, they probably won't play it though.
Same lmao me and my brother loved that shit
Absolutely loved them. Sadly I don't think they will play them.
Dude you’re like the new Justin Y
Oh yes. Next they should play SA2.
I hope they do.
Ohhhh nooo
Oh yesss
Every time they start a Sonic game I squeal with excitement.
@@S0LV0
Same cuz its so damn funny
Alright real talk though.
_That song is literally the only bit of this game I liked._
True
This was the only Sonic game I had for the Wii, I actually liked it a decent bit, the controls weren’t really an issue for me at least.
