Imagine you’re a kid in Japan in the 90’s, you’re about to watch another Ultraman movie in theatres, and this is the popcorn machine you got your popcorn from. What a time.
The perks of having a gaming mascot originate from Japan. If in an alternate timeline Sonic was a full on American, I bet that machine would have been stuck here in the states instead of Japan.
The classic PSA screen at the beginning makes me wonder if this was planned to have a USA release but never went through. Kids would of loved this in 1993 or 1994 back when Sonic was at his peak in popularity.
There was an Everything Wrong With video about arcade sonic games, can’t remember the name of the OP, but he does mention how this PSA was supposed to show on all *american arcade machines around that time iirc I think the screen itself flopped because the guy who enforced it was a strong druggie himself among other things lol Edit: a little weird this made it into the Japan versions
I found it weird to see when Sonic was just talking in Japanese the whole time! I do get why it was a thing because back then there would be a lot of commercials geared toward children to say to not ever do drugs due to something going on with people giving out street drugs to even kids. The US government was relentless about it. It didn't matter if you had cable or not. I wonder if this was actually used in Japan with kids and adults seeing this not understanding what it was for, let alone the rest of the text past it, which was also in English.
What a fun and cute experience it was. Getting away from Robotnik as he tried to steal your popcorn from you and Sonic (because he loves popcorn as much as you do), and then popping the corn with Sonic before the Eggman could pop the cover, knocking him out. Then you got the popcorn! I'm proud of you.
Eggman so petty bro wants to take Sonics popcorn I jest but I love it when stories are this wholesome that the threats are so minimal Like when for Batman the biggest threat in Gotham is that Joker replaced the milk in the milk vending machine with money It’s adorable
Gimmicked an innocent vending machine! (Also you forgot to mention that the reason he’s doing this is to somehow plant test answers in the males basketball team locker room, take a well timed picture, and announce said team was cheating, so he can bet on the other team and win $50,000. No I don’t remember how that had to do with vending machines.)
its worth knowing the machine itself is making your popcorn while this is all going on, so this "gameplay" is really more a fun distraction while your popcorn pops
What others don't realize is the true depth of the story telling and the revolutionary gameplay. The story is a representation of the struggle of man vs nature, a struggle Mao infamously chased after, making the doctrine that "man must conquer nature". Though, just like Mao, Robotnik could not conquer the animal. The quintessential epitome and representation of nature. And the gameplay. Boy the gameplay and it's revolutions. This game pioneered the gameplay systems of games like modern Nintendo platformers, The Last of Us 2 and God of War. Never before had a game played itself and let you only hit one button to win. This is an important pioneering piece of gaming media. This is true kino.
How does he only have close to 300 subs? This is a rare piece of Sonic History that is only found in a Japanese dub, rarely in us. *Edit: In the United States, I mean RARE..*
Still don't even know why this was launched only in japan. Probably because the idea of an arcade and a popcorn machine, mixed together, was kinda weird but fun at the same time in the US. Especially in the 90s
Check out Eggman’s freaky running animation. Did you look? At his legs Officially licensed by Sega of Japan Official Sega Eggman legs as they move in uncanny ways in their alarming shape
1: Tails is using his tails to blow air onto the fire. In combustion, there needs to be oxygen present for the reaction to occur, so Tails is doing his best to make the fire burn! 2: Cartoon logic.
Is it bad if I saw that psa and instantly got scared at first- Legit past times ive seen that its always in vrchat worlds where people legit play dang 🌽 of all things XD Don't even know how but they always play it on video pkayers with this in the start somehow lmao
Okay, Eggman's running animation is nothing short of majestic.

I used to think this game didn't have enough Knuckles, but then I learned this was before Sonic 3 & Knuckles existed. What a shame.
Looks to take heavy inspiration from sonic 2 so it makes sense
I mean with all due respect, the title card DOES say “1993” which is a full year before the release of Sonic 3

Robotnik has decided to abandon his big machines and just go full on Tom and Jerry by chasing Sonic with a mallet.
I think its a really cute detail that when Tails uses his tails to fan the fire, he moves forward from the speed and power
This is one of those things that really seems like it should be lost media, but it isn’t and I freaking love it
Unluckily its cotton sugar counterpart it 😢

Graceful as a transgender ballerina.
No-one talks about the fact that this was referenced in Sonic Mania
Yeah :P
1:31 Tails moving slightly forward from using his propeller tails and repositioning himself is the most cutest attention to detail
Definitely the most shortest and easiest sonic game in history. 😂
Sonic forces

Should it be hard to make popcorn😂😂lol

Is this officially the first time Sonic spoke?
Probably
If it came out before Sonic CD then yeah.
There was an arcade game that has Sonic driving car somewhere around Sonic 1’s release.
@@pokemonlover4208 And that games name is “Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car”.

How wonderful that even a novelty like this hasn't been lost thanks to Sonic fans keeping it saved and sharing it.
I've found eggman running with a hammer to be the most funniest thing I have seen
Eggman lowkey magical with that running animation

oh but still it’s very rare so just putting it out there
I never heard of this game and I half expected this to turn into a horror parody. There's something eerie about it.
cute game
Awesome game to make 🍿
Winners dont use drugs! And sonic says NEVER DO DRUGS KIDS they could really mess you up!
I didn’t know this game existed! Thanks for showing us this game😊
0:03 so popcorn is d*ugs
if that’s the case does this popcorn sale for $430 if that’s the case hmmm gimme some of that popcorn to snort on 😏
Why did you censor it?

「逃げろー!」 - "Run away!"
It's 2:45AM and I'm hungry for decades-old Japanese popcorn.
0:09 That harmonica!
0:20 Poses remind me of the Sonic 2 title screen.
Rare sight of classic sonic speaking :)
Was this a real vending machine or just a small game?
Both, You could play the game and when your done you would get your popcorn
Interesting.
Unfortunately and obviously, it was only launched in japan
Still don't even know why this was launched only in japan. Probably because the idea of an arcade and a popcorn machine, mixed together, was kinda weird but fun at the same time in the US. Especially in the 90s
You know this is gonna be great when the first phrase You see is "Winners don't use drugs"
The f*** did sonic just say 1:05
SONIC SAID NIGGA I’m black so I can say it ALSO SONIC IS WHITE THE ONLY CHARACTERS THAT GET TO SAY IT IS….knuckles and shadow
“it’s Eggman! Run away!!”
"Run Away" in Japanesse is "Nigeru", there is nothing we can do

This is a fever dream.

Sonic was voiced WAY earlier than I expected considering this was before Sonic 3 or CD.
Oh nice funny how im also a sonic fan :)
Your not the only one
Faster than sound Sonic having a hard time outrunning a fat guy with a giant hammer.
what emulator are you running this on
I think it's called Mega
Sonic’s first real voice technically
Not the first. The game where Sonic was a police officer was the first Sonic game to have his voice.
Eggmnan now knows Ballet in my head
I want my popcorn with extra salt, and extra butter.😊
WINNERS DONT USE DRUGS🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥 FACTS🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
We need a gif of that Eggman walking animation lmao.
I wonder what the World Record is. I bet some speedrunners found funny glitches and shortcuts. And then ate some delicious unpopped popcorn
Hey, I've read about this in the Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-Speed-Ia. Too bad it was never localized.
They should remake these and set them up in movie theatre lobbies to promote the third movie
Someone should speedrun this

Ngl the momentum of the butter got on my nerves in some levels…

I hope I get some popcorn from sonic🍿😏
Why does the title screen sound like the game over theme?

Not, This is actually emulator gameplay :P
So classic sonic did have a voice.
Wasn't this originally called Sonic Fever Dream?
Idk

You mean I spent 50¢ for this? I think even when i was four I'd feel ripped off.
Nah, this is a emulator.
I wonder how the Popcorn tastes like, or if it's still being made
