I'm breaking into the Sega warehouse and I'm eating the sonic jam

Sonic is such a fun and interesting franchise because of how much just completely random and insane shit SEGA did during almost his entire lifecycle. It's a very surreal mix of the Genesis doing gangbusters, then the 1-2 punch of the Saturn and Dreamcast as they desperately tried to get people to buy them. They really, REALLY wanted you to think Sonic was cool and prayed that would get consoles sold, and I guess it worked because here we are. Personally, my favorite Sonic is that very specific Jam-Adventure 1 era, he's awesome. I just lied, actually, the best Sonic is his art from Sonic Screensaver. No, seriously, look up his sprites in that, it is peak Sonic I think.

I thought the jam in the thumbnail was a joke edit someone made, was floored to find out it was real

A bit more info on the sonic jam jam: it was a promotional item given to people who pre ordered sonic jam on the sega saturn in japan only. Each flavor apparently tasted like what they look like: Blueberry jam for sonic, Orange marmalade for tails, and Strawberry jam for knuckles. All 3 came in a box with a big sonic jam sticker on the top.

It's always been surreal to me that the "Man of the year" short was done by the same people that did the 90's Warner bros cartoons. Look at it, it's just an episode of animaniacs with Sonic dumped into it.

For the quality you have, you’re way underrated. I really enjoy the laid back format.

This script was so much fun to work on with you, and it’s awesome seeing you bring it to life with the final video. Really makes me happy seeing everyone get a kick out of it too!!

01:21 Despite Xtreme looking absolutely abysmal from a gameplay perspective, I can't help but marvel every time I see it. The style - with the fisheye lens, combination of sprites and polygons, the twisting geometry - is so neat. I really wish it hadn't been slated for use as the next Sonic game because it looks so wholly unsuited to Sonic-style speed and gameplay. With the right character and gameplay style (something more exploration and challenge based, ala Gex) I think it could have been a great game. The worlds look so fun to explore, but not in a Sonic way, if that makes sense. I'm getting a more of a "contemplative" platformer sort of vibe, with the levels opening out as you fulfil certain challenges (extending a bridge, diverting a river into a waterfall, an avalanche revealing a long-forgotten cave entrance etc.)

i would LOVE to hear more about this sonic sydney thing - fantastic presentation though, loved this

I’m so glad to have stumbled across your channel back in the Pokémon video, you just have this very chill style to your presentation that makes watching so much fun. Can’t wait for more 💜

5:19 'I don't know how it happened, but I found it in Sega's warehouse' reads like the start to some crazy ass creepypasta lmao

Alternate universe cybershell

god im so glad people other than me are interested in little facts and trivia like this i love this series for the weird shit

very happy abt the badnik appreciation section of the video motobugs are just the most unbelievably little fella shaped little fellas ever

The Sonic origins we deserved. Also americans when they can't find the Sonic Jelly.

I love the 3D hub world so much and till this day, I just wish they made an entire game out of that. If they could make that Hub world, I don't see why they couldn't make more of them and set them up as the levels. Basically yeah like sonic Xtreme was suppose to be. But I mean this would have been different, it wouldn't have exactly been sonic Xtreme, but it would have been a 3D sonic running around in a 3D world and that would have been amazing on Saturn. In fact, I said the same thing about sonic r, which I also loved. If they can make these 3D levels to run on, they could have made a whole mainline game out of that concept

Yo this is exactly the type of niche pondering i like to see, you're super funny lmao

Apparently Sonic: The Animation/Man of The Year was created for Sega’s theme parks

I was expecting a deep dive into Sonic Jam itself but instead what I got was a whole lot of random Sonic trivia only tangentially related. And trust me I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I love the Sonic 2 sprites, one of the best in the series. You might wonder, what does this have to do with the video? Well, our friend mentions how the concept art shows Tails maintaining his speed by spinning his tails, the thing is, to get to that there are some small animations before getting to that. Between Sonic and Tails there is a difference in frames for their jogs. While Sonic has more frames and shows a confident walk, Tails has the same amount of frames as Sonic in his first installment, apart from that, since his shoes are extremely long, he pushes his body forward while stretching his small legs, all of this to show you that Tails is not good at running.

22:40ish The S3 File Select theme was also remixed for Windmill Vilage Modes 1-4 in Rush Adventure. Fantastic video btw!

Sonic, he can really ball. Sonic, he's gotta ball attitude. Sonic, he's the ballest thing alive!

I'm glad that this video blew up, I watched it yesterday and it only had like 100 views. I really enjoyed watching this. Immediatly subbed.

10:45 This mascot costume for Sally looks more low quality than the early fursuits

i heard golden boy bgm in this video and jumped with joy

Cool vid, lots of interesting info in here. I'm glad you mentioned the actual Sonic Jam... jam. No idea if it was released in Japan. I don't think I've ever seen other pics of it anywhere else. Also, 7:39 that one upload of OVA was actually taken down after like 10 years of being on YT by... Bandai in 2021. I think they still take it down from time to time? Maybe they stopped. But you can still easily find it on YT ... and anywhere else. Again, cool video!

Noway real sonic jam certified moment

After WW 1 and 2, the Sonic Arcade album was definitely the worst crime we started.

Love the chill humor and overall vibe of your video. Hope you cover some more Saturn era stuff.

4:20 Vicious slander. That'll get you a stabbin around these parts! Shit was excellent.

15:30 Archie's Sonic comics, Sonic Quest Issue #1. I think that artist of the cover (Patrick Spaziante) was trying to basically pay homage to this exact render.

Im mad that Sonic Origins was not like Sonic Jam. An original 3D Low Poly Sonic World to run around in would have paid homage to the missing Sega Saturn Sonic Game that never happened.

I've never been the biggest Sonic fan but for some reason I really really really really love this video, think I might like Sonic more now

This was a great video, well researched. Hope to see more from you soon!

Having actually played the shadow game I know that the hedgehogs will kill us long before the cigarettes start wrecking our lungs.

Absolutely loved the video, great work! Keep at it!

absolutely lost it at the yuji naka bank vault joke 💀

Great video for such a small channel. Didn't even relaize it was edging towards the 30 minute mark. 😂

8:49 oh mein gott!!! Dat blue rat got toes moveing man

i like the reference to cybershell when you say BONUS

3:56 my favourite part of sonic lore is when tails developed lung cancer

I thought the title screen was a joke image and that there was not any such thing as Sonic Jam.

You are my new favorite KZfaqr!! This video was such a vibe

you won me with the kojima smoking joke

My humor must be broken because I fucking exhaled at the thumbnail

22:13 i agree with you. The Japanese box art of Sonic 3D Blast is really rad. But there is one issue with it. You see Sonic 3D Blast was released for the Sega Saturn in America in 1996, in Europe in 1997 and in Japan in 1999. Making Sonic 3D Blast as the Sega Saturn's final sonic game in Japan. And we all know that Sonic Adventure was released in Japan in 1998 so that art from the Japanese box art from Sonic 3D Blast came after Sonic Adventure.

I recall reading somewhere that the Sonic Jam Jam was a pre-order bonus for the game at a certain store in Japan. I think it was a convenience store, but don't quote me on that haha

this video is so good, i thought you were some 100k sub channel but nah this video has like 500 views. keep doin what youre doin, its great :) (also sonic lighter goes crazy)

My favorite piece of Sonic merch is Sonic Jam branded jam

Fantastic video, very entertaining commentary and editing!

surely i'm not the only one who got cybershell vibes from this video

Thank you for making a video on my all time favorite Sonic compilation of games. Even since I played Sonic 1 for the first time on my Dreamcast (worst way to play that game btw), I’ve always been a fan of him. Sometime last year I had gotten a physical version of Sonic jam for my Saturn because I heard how great it was & damn it was amazing. It holds up ridiculously well today, especially compared to the shit show that is origins (thanks Sega for always having strict deadlines). Anyways I think if you collect Saturn games, spending $300 for a physical version of Sonic jam complete in box is absolutely worth it

Cool Cybershell impression

then there's sonic jam for the game com

WOOT JUMPSCARE

the tails art is so good omg

December 15th, 2006 was a day after I was born. I don't know if I feel young or old...

Literally Cybershell mixed with Bizabizow. Love it

i need to eat the sonic jam so fucking much. idc how old it is i need. it'd fix me

As the stereotype strengthens, sonic autism.

9:57 why does the ship have an eerie similarity to the tornado mech from SA2? I just had a revolution.

Awesome video. I like your oc.

it's certainly better than sonic oranges

This is one of my fav videos ever, you give off the same vibe as Hazel it's great く⁠コ⁠:⁠彡

20:34 the only good thing about speed battle is the cool skina that people with skill can extract and then use to make mods for generations or frontiers That's it.
