I love how they just decided to make all the games canon. All of it, Sonic has spent the last several years having to save his world from various threats and now he’s just really tired.
@@alexandercorbett1147 It's so funny that the only game where they officially said is non-canon was Chronicles. I don't blame them, specially after the fiasco that was Ken Penders. And Sonic Boom is a alternate universe type of thing, but they made the characther Sticks canon, thanks to Frontiers.
@@jamesm4247 Sticks the character may be canon, but we don't know if anything Sticks did in Boom is canonical to the series overall. Apparently when Frontiers was in production they put together a lore consultation team to really iron out an actual world history for the franchise.
I'm not up to date with the Sonic lore, last game I actually paid attention was Sonic Rush, but given what goes down in SA2, there are entire human countries with similar cultures to what we got here. So it makes sense there might be serial killers.
The whole I watched this I couldnt help but feel like this playthough was reminding me of something.... then it hit me like a truth bullet. That voice... the plot... Dangonronpa
I swear, the more I see Rouge dressed up in anything other than her iconic bodysuit, the more I realize her iconic bodysuit is actually her worst look.

@@saltygibus5746 I don't believe so? I could be wrong, but I've only seen characters refer to Barry with neutral terms, plus I'm only going off of multiple wiki pages and steam threads
YES oh I'm so hyped for this playthrough, the boys have always shined with visual novels and as a fan of Sonic characters I feel like (hope) Arin will really like this one!
It’s actually great they put that punctuation on the protagonist name, as I leads to hilarious inflections in Dan’s voice every time he has to read it.
Meanwhile, Charmy is alone at the Chaotix office, panicking about where Vector and Espio could have gone. Amy gives everyone an hour to mingle. Tails uses it to perfect his Batman voice, for when the time comes for interrogations.
Never have i imagined Arin's visual novel protagonist voice being in a Sonic game. This is the best thing ever. Edit: Also the player character is appearantly a quokka.
I want Arin's protagonist voice to narrate my entire life, especially when I'm about to do something extremely stupid and will regret nearly 2 seconds later.
I went to your show in Amsterdam. Had a total blast of a time together with my friend who is a long time fan. Just wanted to let you know you really helped me through a very rough time, and by some ciokidink you came to Amsterdam, and I said, why not? And my face hurt from laughter afterwards. The crown has a permanent place in my room. Wish you all the best. Love from the Netherlands.
This is legitimately my favorite Sonic game. The protagonist gets my love of caves, and the conductor being straight out of Galaxy Express 999 is DELIGHTFUL.
When I learned about this game I thought to myself “I should go watch the Grumps’ playthrough of this.” Only to be surprised that they hadn’t played it yet. Now, a few days later, I’ve got what I wanted. This is gonna be the highest form of entertainment for me.
Oh wow, in the beginning of the ep, yeah i see it! Blue pink yellow. Very subtle with the muted colors.... 😏 hell yeah. Tbh, what else would you put on the giant tip of a giant train that Sonic and his crew are riding? While there are potentially many answers, there is only one that is correct.
I love that Amy's voice is super similar to Amy's voice in the Snapcube fandub so her saying that she's gonna drive a train into the White House seems accurate to me. And if I close my eyes when Arin speaks, it's Sonic Danganronpa! What could go wrong?
I'm about to witness the glory of these two improvising the most unholy dating sim voices for every single sonic character.
Still waiting for them to play that Kaiju dating sim. The one where a date is destroying a city.
There is NO WAY Arin won’t do his jello squishing sound over pools of blood, right? RIGHT?!
Not just you, we're in this together lol
PHEEEEEW.
@@D44RK_Iced_Yogs ilp7i up I hu 8p
I love the anti-Arin naming mechanic
All I could think was "he started out talking about how the lead designer worked on Dream Daddy. He knows what Arin will do. He's countered it"
I'm surprised it didn't catch Digbick Johnson when I did it.
Penismachine exists in a parallel universe.

Immediate Arin protag voice how I've missed you
"Its making me cuuuuuuuuuum!"
I always forget it every so often. Afterwards, I hear something similar or remember it again and I immediately go to a visual novel/dating sim playlist to watch everything all over again.
Really wish they did more of these, it’s always a wild and fun ride.
Is like a old friend
Could it be?
Danganronpa 3 soon?
the voice is the perfect idiot protagonist
I do love that Arin is a voice actor who works for money, yet only ever does/can do dudebro voice and bimbo voice.
He made a devil’s pact that allows him to do really good voices for VA roles, but in exchange he can only do the Ken-Star voice on the show
“That ExplAInS eVERyTHiNg!”
I do not fear the man who can make 100 voices, just the man who was mastered a handful
bimbo and himbo
He kinda sounds like H. Jon Benjamin when he voices the main character.
I love this game so much and I'm glad they're playing it. I still can't believe Sega actually approved this. I love the music, visual novel style, and character designs. Seriously, detective Tails is the cutest thing ever.

I love how whenever Arin does Sonic’s voice he always makes him constantly chuckling
Unlike his voice for Knuckles
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter with that voice he's constantly knuckling

-Royalty from another dimension

-The last known member of their entire race
-Someone gifted with super speed

10:35 I love that the conductor caught a thief red-handed and just went "bruh" like a father being mildly disgruntled with his daughter's bad habit.
Dan's exasperation when Arin flipped on the protag voice 😅
12:48 The fact Amy said that proves serial killers exist in the Sonic universe.
I'm not up to date with the Sonic lore, last game I actually paid attention was Sonic Rush, but given what goes down in SA2, there are entire human countries with similar cultures to what we got here. So it makes sense there might be serial killers.
This game isn't canon is it?
summer child, i know this is late, but yes it is canon as far as i know@@peronkop
Anyone who reads the idw comics knows that there are at the very least contract killers. Just look at Mimic
Me and a friend started playing this together. Somehow the game accepts "Degenerate Furry" as a player name and it makes the game 10 times funnier.
The whole I watched this I couldnt help but feel like this playthough was reminding me of something....
then it hit me like a truth bullet. That voice... the plot... Dangonronpa
"Dan gone run, pa"
Sonic: Super High School Level Hedgehog.
Almost expected Arin to have to do all the female voices... With the exact same voice
I swear, the more I see Rouge dressed up in anything other than her iconic bodysuit, the more I realize her iconic bodysuit is actually her worst look.
how dare you speak ill of rouge's fashion sense. she slays every outfit 😤💅
Oh my god. You're right.
Yeah, it's positively bland compared to this stellar casual look.
And even then I think it’s still pretty great so I guess she’s just that fantastic
The very first thought I had when I heard about The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog was "I can't wait for the Game Grumps to play this..."
14:20 Dan’s “take a number, buddy” really sells it
I love how Arin has the same Sonic voice and he chuckles mid words. It’s like Jeff Goldblum “Uh” ‘ing every 5 seconds.
Dr. Eggman, the 10th passenger, lying hidden somewhere on this train… the one they call the Ultimate Despair. Watch out for him.
I have no idea if Eggman's gonna show up I just wanted to meme
I'm hoping this devolves into Songanranpa, complete with mind snowboarding and endless reminders of Glaerf's whispered memory of a penis
Funny you mention it: there actually is a 'runner' part similar to the snowboarding in Dangonronpa.
Only a month till the re-release of Ghost Trick left.
I was so hoping Dan would make that " coming around the mountain" joke. Did not disappoint. 😂
Damnnn, they actually split up the voices perfectly evenly for who's gonna be with who in all upcoming rooms. That's really impressive and quite lucky
I was so happy when Arin gave Glaerf the protag voice.
Glad to see them finally playing Danganronpa v3 after all this time.
I was almost worried they weren't going to play this!
me too!
‘Twas not a question of if, but when.
Or that we’d have to wait years for them to pick it up😩
This was an inevitability if anything.
@@jimmysmash1236 My spouse said the exact same thing 😁
Dan begging Arin not to do The Voice™ and immediately being disappointed
Glaerf is already given me Plurmf dankensteim Mcflurnten vibes… I love it.
Um excuse me it's Plurmf Dankenstein McFurnten Esquire the Cat Sr.
I like to think that they're very distant cousins.
Dan struggeling with Espios voice when they literally know Matt Mercer (who voiced him at one point) is really funny to me
Knuckles hat is a deep cut. To bad Arin didn't think to give him an Australian accent.
So many people seem to be forgetting that movie. Strange, isn't it?
Such a great movie.
I'm so happy they are playing this! This game was an absolute blast the entire time. I can already tell I'm going to love this LP.
I haven’t watched game grumps in so long and I love how Arin opens with the voice of every other male character he’s done
The MC in this game aint a male, its really just Arins Protagonist Voice™
@@TheGodIvy Well, no, the protag IS a guy.

Arin starting the lead character with that voice always makes my life a little more bearable 🐻
Puhuhuhu! Interesting, Beary interesting indeed.
Can't believe this game is from the mind of an ex GG associate... actually, maybe I can believe that.
damn was hoping Rouge would keep the masculine voice the whole playthrough
gave me some Dr. Girlfriend vibes
Just like the soon to be retiring conductor, Dan and The Mirage Express will be comin' around the mountain when Sonic eats that chili dog.

"I didnt look closely enough" Danny says when the only other person on screen was Amy
Meanwhile, Charmy is alone at the Chaotix office, panicking about where Vector and Espio could have gone.

Calling it now, it was death by chocolate.
As a dog, Sonic is deathly allergic to chocolate. It only makes sense.
Sonic the Hedgedog
Sonk the hedgeddog
Sockhenge the doge
Amy invited Vector, Espio, but not Charmy. Even Shadow got invited over Charmy.
He stung someone once and then died
Can't wait to see this in the next niche Grumps fan clip compilation of "Times They Predicted the Following Line."
I love how Dan never remembers what Espio is.
25:27 “I’m a locksmith, and I’m a locksmith”
ive never went that deep into sonic games until the frontiers playthrough and now im OBSESSED. this is super exciting!!
Dan accidentally giving Rouge such a deep, manly voice was too funny, reminded me of his take on Yuri in DDLC.
I want Arin's protagonist voice to narrate my entire life, especially when I'm about to do something extremely stupid and will regret nearly 2 seconds later.
I absolutely love the little "heh" Arin adds to every single one of Sonic's lines
Hearing Amy say, "Okay, everyone!" and talk about reading gave me flashbacks to Doki Doki Literature Club 🤣
Just Amy
The minute Arin started his “Protagonist-kun” I knew this was gonna be amazing
Just this morning I started rewatching the Dangonronpa 2 playlist because I wanted these exact vibes!!! The boys never miss
Rewatching DGR2 huh? Brave soul you are
Omg like actually Same 😂😂😂
9:06 Meanwhile, the protagonist from House Party: "I'M NOT GONNA GET LAID UNLESS I CAN FIND A *FUCKING PEN"*
I told myself I was gonna play this game before the Grumps did, but well, time makes fools of us all.
I mean, it's free and can be done in a couple hours. So you're not a total fool yet.
3:50
Apparently, he's a Quokka, an animal from Australia.
Also, his "official" default name is Barry.
I saw sonic in the title and clicked, not disappointed
As always.

I love it when Arin thinks foxes are cats or raccoons. And the protag voice, always good!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS thank you game grumps incorporated for yet another banger i can't wait to watch this one hoo boy.
4:56 Christmas joke by Dan was genius quick thinking

The unintentional reference to markipliers "meow" is hilarious to me.
Way past CRUEL!
Ha ha! Oh no my skull's craved in.

Holy crap, they're playing the Sonic-Murder game?? Freaking Shweet!
