@@the-NightStar Probably because this particular video's subject isn't about references to these obscure things in less obscure games, and said point's been talked to death about in various other videos, so the whinging is pointless? Just a thought.

Actually, I think it's a really exaggerated and overblown stereotype. Sonic fans aren't any weirder than any other fandom out there, ALL that have their own small minority of Rule 34 and 4channish creeptrolls out there.
I can recommend checking out youtuber raocow. He is in the middle of his "all the sonic" series, in which he plays every single sonic game. Yes, every one. Including waku waku police and sonics popcorn machine. Basically everything mentioned in this video.
@@Shadamyfan-rs8xc of course it does. It even includes the tiger electronics LED games. Right now, he is doing sonic adventure 2. He does it in order of release.

I want these old Sonic Cafe games... I remember seeing their website back in the day at school on their PCs on my free time when I was obsessed with Sonic in the Dreamcast and GameCube era...
8:15 that trendmill game looks incredibly fun. I would go to a arcade just to play that. Too bad the Olympic games series couldn't have made it to the arcades. It would be the perfect place for them.
Sonic in a popcorn machine making popcorn? And I thought being turned into a werehog or falling into a coma and then kissed by a human princess were Sonic's weirdest (port-traumatic) experiences...
I wish segasonic popcorn was back so I can get my popcorn from Sonic & Tails I never thought there were other Sonic games like Sonic brain ranking & Sonic ghost shooting I remember seeing Sonic athletics before tho
Fact of the day that I just realized: “Sonic mania references an actual Japanese exclusive Sonic themed Popcorn Vending Machine.” Note to self (When I visit Japan, remember sonic themed rides next to go shopping in Akihabara, Shibuya and Tokyo)
@@ralsei3157 unfortunately that happens with almost every fanbase, people automatically think the entire fanbase is trash because of a few bad eggs. This coupled with sonic's "reputation" of "hAhA gUyS sOnIc 06 Amirite?2?2?2???2" and some bad OCs leads to people automatically thinking the entire fandom is like chris chan and nothing more. It's sad, really. Just as sad as how sonic isn't treated as a videogame icon anymore and instead as a "funmy hedgehog run fast!1!1!1" because of the social media which I hate because it's always the same shit like "haha sonic 06 remember when sonic kissed human?2??2?2?2" and "haha big the cat funny!!!1"
7:34 Popcorn used to be a popular street-vendor snack in the US too. Which is how it became a movie theater staple food in the first place. People would simply take their popcorn they bought on the street with them into the theater and cinemas later capitalized on that by just selling the popcorn themselves.
In Alton Towers they had a Sonic spinball roller coaster. When it first opened they had minigames you could play in the queue line. These stopped working after a few years and only the screens remained.
I played the the running game in Joypolis 2 years ago its really fun. I ended up playing as shadow. We also had every character slot taken, so it was a real contest lol.
I'm so happy there is another Sonic episode! I have watched then all so many times by now. Is it possible that you guys could make one for Sonic Colours cause I really love that game!
I had the opportunity to ride the ghost shooter in Japan. A lot of people refer to it as the pumpkin hill ride. Pumpkin hill plays as these carts go in a big circle where your shoot ghosts and try to earn the most points. King Boom Boom also shows up and gets you bonus points if you can hit him.
I vividly remember a PC sonic game my God sister had where you had to race knuckles in 2D levels that looked like the first advance game. I vividly remember it the disc and all but no matter what I do I cant find anything on it online.
Maybe it was a hack? Or it could’ve been Sonic Rivals? Interesting. I also have owned a game a long time ago which I can’t find any information about online.
@@CaptainCoolzCT- oh it was around way before Sonic rivals was even considered a thing I can tell you that. In all honesty it might have been a boot leg or tie in disc from a cereal promo. All I know is I know it's real but cant find Jack about it.

"[Sonic] also inspired and encouraged a dedicated and eccentric fandom." Understatement of the century there, and that's coming from someone who is a fan of Sonic.
I actually remember playing Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car in an indoor playground when I was very little. I don't know how one of those ended up being in my country.
*"In This Game He Commits His Greatest Acts Of Evil To Date, Disrupting Traffic."* I died of laughter... Dr.Eggman is going to cause people to road rage, that's very evil lol! 😂😂😂
"So we have this character that goes fast. He loves going fast. His name is Sonic." "So he drives a car?" "Uh, sure." 5 times! They made 5 games where Sonic, the fastest thing alive, just drives a car or kart. Sonic R is the lone game to say "Hey, what if this fast guy, y'know, just ran?"
The popcorn machines in Japan are pretty good. I've had a lot of the Hello Kitty popcorn though since my daughter cares more for cats than anything else.
Certainly not all of the Sonic fan games are bad, but a lot of them aren't great or impressive either. There is probably only a couple of great fan games I could name. The Sonic fandom in some ways is a weird lot as well.

I remember the Sonic police game. I saw it on a cruise ship. Which I think was originated in Asia considering a lack of a 4th floor (an unlucky number) and the amount of Asian arcade games they had on board. I distinctly remember a Resident Evil arcade machine (naturally called Biohazard) and the Sonic one. I don't think I actually played the Sonic one because the controls might've been in Japanese. If I had to guess the ship, maybe it was the Carnival Legend or the Norwegian Jewel circa 2007/2008
I've been to Joypolis in Odaiba. The train is small and runs in an oval shape. It appeared closed when I visited. The Sonic Carnival was fun. I almost had enough points to get a good prize! I wound up with a baby bottle filled with fruit-shaped erasers. I didn't dare try the treadmill attraction or the quiz show. Overall, the place is really cool and I look forward to going back to Japan again someday. Oh yeah, and if you took a picture with the workers, they make a "J" using their finger and thumb. Joypolis also had a really cool (but pricey) gift shop. What an awesome place.

Sega Joypolis is a Sega fan's paradise. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone going to Japan. It was kind of trippy seeing it in this video, as I made a visit there recently. I can confirm that the Sonic Athletics and Sonic-themed carnival games are still there, I actually won 2 plushes from the Whack-a-mole they showed in this video.
Was wondering if the Sega Pico games would get a mention so I waited till the end of the video. There's Sonic's Gameworld, which is basically just Sonic-themed carnival games, and Tails and the Music Maker, a really simple music game for kids with Tails as the main character. The Pico was basically a Sega version of the Leapster.
Last year I saw a full line of 10 Sonic & Mario Olympic Games arcade cabinets with a similar setup as Sonic Athletics. It was in a shopping mall in Rio, Brazil, and I didn't even know there was an arcade version of that game.
Do you guys remember 'Right Said Fred'? They made the song "Im too sexy for my shirt"? Well Sega officially commissioned that band to make a theme song for one of their games back in the 90s
Which song? There are a lot of voiced songs in Sonic, first starting with Sonic Boom and then Adventure's Theme, Live and Learn, What I'm Made Of, This is Who I Am, His World, Seven Rings in Hand, Fight the Knight, Endless Possibility, and then finally Reach for the Stars. Too bad they're haven't been any voiced songs since Colors, I really miss those. (Especially What I'm Made Of. That song is a massive banger.)
Zach Armstrong It’s literally none of those because he listed the band’s name. Stay focused. After looking into it for one whole minute, it’s “Wonderman” by Right Said Fred.
BTW, if you guys are wondering, in Joypolis the Sonic Ghost shooting game and Sonic Brain Ranking is no longer available. I assume that it was replaced by the VR shooting zone and the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney game attraction.
The giant Sonic statue is sadly gone now. No official word on why. Best guess is that it was brought to life by a stray bolt of lightning. Now Giant Sonic lives on Monster Island, protecting us by keeping all the other giant kaiju at bay.
No joke, I actually found out that this video is on a playlist called 'Fan Spotlight' on the official Sonic the Hedgehog UA-cam channel! You can even go and check it out for yourself!
Imagine how funny it would be if the popcorn one actually had the player affect the outcome XD Like someone is like "i'm not doing anything" and they get burnt or very little popcorn (since i assume getting hit would have Sonic drop some and the oven..well does oven things) The Joyopolis game with running reminds me of the recent Mario and Sonic Olympic games where you DO have to jump XD
8:59 I knew and saw this ride before, it was in Vinpreal land, Vietnam. I want to ride it, but because of lame ass tall restrictions, I was unable to experience the ride.
I went to joypolis 2015 and 2017. but there were no sonic merchandise around. And you should have mentioned the sonic rider attraction. Because this was the real fun.
I have played Sonic Patrol Car on the arcade when I was a toddler before I took my hands on an actual Sonic game. I never knew that existed until know, though I may have gotten random flashbacks of it.
I wonder if Sega will look at these and revisit some of the ideas in various media, maybe in comic form? I find it interesting that Sonic was a cop at one point, as we now have a Sonic movie where he teams up with one.
Having watched through raocow's ongoing "All the Sonics" series I already knew most of these. Highly suggest watching through the series if you want to see some really weird Sonic games.
Eggman’s got some LEGS on the Popcorn Shop, damn
_Elegant_ fat bastard, ain't he?
He really makes me want to crank that green handle
Tried to put him on the cover of Vogue, but his legs were too long.

>"Surprisingly good soundtrack"

i think their point was that it was surprisingly good for being a children's arcade machine
Even Sonic 06 was cranking out straight bangers in almost every level.

BTW, if you guys are wondering, in Joypolis the Sonic Ghost shooting game and Sonic Brain Ranking is no longer available. I assume that it was replaced by the VR shooting zone and the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney game attraction.
I kinda like the look of that Segasonic Popcorn game. Especially its custom error screen!
Eggman breaking the traffic law is a SERIOUS crime and is worse than any other villain's crimes. Therefore, we have to arrest him at all costs.
I thought there wouldn't be anything I don't know here, but I never heard about Ghost Shooting and Brain Ranking before. I am impressed.
The giant Sonic statue is sadly gone now. No official word on why. Best guess is that it was brought to life by a stray bolt of lightning. Now Giant Sonic lives on Monster Island, protecting us by keeping all the other giant kaiju at bay.
Proud that I knew about all of these games :’)
I remember playing this educational sonic game as a kid where you went around in 3D finding numbers and letters and stuff.
No joke, I actually found out that this video is on a playlist called 'Fan Spotlight' on the official Sonic the Hedgehog UA-cam channel! You can even go and check it out for yourself!
Huh, that's cool of them!
Imagine how funny it would be if the popcorn one actually had the player affect the outcome XD Like someone is like "i'm not doing anything" and they get burnt or very little popcorn (since i assume getting hit would have Sonic drop some and the oven..well does oven things)
The Joyopolis game with running reminds me of the recent Mario and Sonic Olympic games where you DO have to jump XD
Seeing Eggman chase sonic with a hammer in the popcorn game thingie rather than use a robot or something like he usually does to kill Sonic is surreal
8:59 I knew and saw this ride before, it was in Vinpreal land, Vietnam. I want to ride it, but because of lame ass tall restrictions, I was unable to experience the ride.
3:00 hold up is that movie Sonic
8:42 hold up is that the running portion of Mario and Sonic at the defunct Olympics games and being ported to mobile?
I went to joypolis 2015 and 2017. but there were no sonic merchandise around. And you should have mentioned the sonic rider attraction. Because this was the real fun.
They sell soundtrack CDs for sports games?
Damn you read that police sonic game title like a boss. Great job.
I have played Sonic Patrol Car on the arcade when I was a toddler before I took my hands on an actual Sonic game. I never knew that existed until know, though I may have gotten random flashbacks of it.
I wonder if Sega will look at these and revisit some of the ideas in various media, maybe in comic form? I find it interesting that Sonic was a cop at one point, as we now have a Sonic movie where he teams up with one.
Having watched through raocow's ongoing "All the Sonics" series I already knew most of these. Highly suggest watching through the series if you want to see some really weird Sonic games.
to think there was even more we didn't know about till now
