Mistakes in Sonic Games - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. Remix

[Music] did you know several mistakes in the sonic franchise can be found before even booting up a game the North American Wii version of Sonic Colors includes a spelling mistake on the back of the game box with the word perform misspelled in the line and preformed new moves additionally the game's instruction manual accidentally misspells naega wisp as mega wisp the back of sonic's ultimate genesis collections case also has a mistake the box shows four games with the screenshot on the top left supposedly being from Sonic the Hedgehog - however it's actually an image of the flame craft fight during Angel Island Zone Act one from Sonic 3 & Knuckles 2006 is Sonic the Hedgehog instruction manual has a number of mistakes as well it erroneously states the game includes a shield powerup that functions identically to other games in the series however this powerup is not in the final game the manual states that tails and omega have a flight gauge that will lower as they fly or hover it also states that using Sonic's gem powers will cause the action gauge to deplete but this is untrue another mistake appears in the cutscene where Sonic Tails and Knuckles return to the past Sonic picks up a newspaper called the daily saw Rihanna referring to the town of so Lyanna this is presumably because of the lack of distinction between R and L sounds and Japanese a similar error can be found in Sonic Rush where blazes voice actress Bella Hudson is credited as vera hudson another typo caused Sega some embarrassment in 2015 during the Halloween special stage event for Sonic runners the developers issued an apology to players over the character boo who they had incorrectly referred to as boob even the first Sonic the Hedgehog game has a handful of mistakes the Japanese version of the original Sonic released later than the Western version and had several fixes to improve the game the Japanese version known as rev zero one has more layers of parallax scrolling in most levels adding a greater sense of depth rev zero 1 also corrects several known errors for example the revision fixed an error in the zone order on the stage select screen in the original version the zone ordering creates a smooth transition from natural landscapes to urban backgrounds as the levels progress as such labyrinth zone appears after Green Hill Zone as the second area however labyrinth zone isn't actually playable until zone 4 possibly because it was too difficult to be the second level of the game in the updated Japanese version the stage select screen moves labyrinth zone to its correct position despite these Corrections there's still a known error in the game moving very quickly can result in the screen not scrolling fast enough to keep up in Green Hill Zone Act one the player can move so quickly the screen doesn't scroll down fast enough resulting in a death by hitting the kill plane at the bottom of the screen Sonic the Hedgehog 3 also contains a mistake with its stage select the game features seamless level transitions such as when going from marble garden zone to carnival night zone where the sky slowly darkens but when transitioning from carnival night zone to ice cap zone the scene suddenly switches from night to day this is because originally the flying battery zone from Sonic and Knuckles was supposed to go in between carnival night zone and ice cap zone to account for the change as stated in the sonic jam official guidebook at the end of flying battery zone sonic would have knocked out a door which would then be used as a snowboard at the beginning of ice cap zone act 1 due to time constraints flying battery zone was cut from Sonic 3 and was instead featured in Sonic and Knuckles as a remnant of this flying battery zone can still be found in Sonic 3 stage select in Sonic 3 & Knuckles completing a level with a time of 9 minutes and 59 seconds a second off receiving a time over will grant the player a time bonus of 100,000 points it's unclear whether this was a mistake or an easter egg to reward the player for cutting it so close regardless the feature was carried over into Sonic mania while Robotnik is supposed to be invincible during cutscenes it's possible to kill him if the player manages to hit him 256 times this will cause the hit coucher to reduce down to 0 where he'll be destroyed this is most easily done with tails in the West dr. Eggman was known as dr. Robotnik until the release of Sonic Adventure in 1999 however some references to the name Eggman managed to slip through the cracks many of the names of Robotnik's machines are egg themed like egg Robo death egg and the egg mobile the name Eggman 0 one can be seen in blazoned on the side of winged fortress zone in Sonic 2 interestingly the opposite has also happened in Japan the Sonic Triple Trouble level Robotnik winter keeps its name in Japan even though Eggman was never called Robotnik in the east Robotnik caused even more confusion with his appearance on the cover of Sonic 2 in the West the cover showed Robotnik looming in the background however instead of sporting his blue spectacles he instead has a full beard no glasses and hollow black eyes these black eyes were mistakenly based on his appearance in game presumably due to palette limitations Robotnik specs appear black rather than blue his eyes seemed to have been misinterpreted by an artist as black boys rather than glasses due to the sprites this appearance may have influenced the characters design in other Western tie-in media such as Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM both of which feature Robotnik with black and red eyes another localization flub can be found in the manual of Sonic CD regarding the character in eros the Japanese manual calls her Rosie the rascal a nickname that makes appearances throughout the series the American version mistakenly refers to her as princess Sally possibly to tie the game to the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon translation is tricky with slightly altered lines often giving a scene a different tone or intent to the original the Sonic series is no stranger to this Sonic Forces contain some English localization that gained notoriety among the fanbase among those lines was a section where silver States Tales has lost it in Japanese the intent is a bit different with silver simply saying tales have gone missing as in being lost in Sonic Adventure 2 when seeing the bio lizard teleport shadow asks is that what chaos control is the line is slightly awkward and implies that the bio lizard is using a more advanced or perfected version of the technique however this was mistranslated slightly from the original where shadows simply states that was chaos control Sonic Adventure 2 included a sponsorship deal with soap shoes and sonic wears a pair throughout the game allowing him to grind on Rails however pre released screenshots and footage shows Sonic in his regular shoes in some versions of the game Sonic can be seen wearing his former basic shoes at certain points such as during the intro cutscene and when Sonic is curled into a all the sound mixing in adventure 2 is infamous and for good reason characters often talk over one another as their animations are matched to the Japanese dialogue rather than the longer English dialogue this results in characters cutting themselves off during gameplay during the final boss in both hero and dark stories sonic and shadows sentences get cut off Sonic is meant to say I'll use your technique to prepare the player for him teleporting before crying chaos control as he teleports however due to the timing of the line Sonic cuts himself off instead saying I'll use your chaos control shadow seems to say is full line this is the ultimate power but due to the delivery the final word gets drowned out by music and sound effects it stated multiple times in the franchise that knuckles is an echidna however in knuckles is theme song for the original Sonic Adventure unknown from M II he erroneously refers to himself as a porcupine another spiny mammal this may have been a decision made to better fit the rhythm of the verse another mistake can be found in Sonic's story after reuniting with Sonic and Tails his story at Red Mountain sonic jumps up to board the tornado - in Sonic's story however he stands in place then suddenly appears on the plane afterwards this is because Sonic never transitions from one animation to another leaving him standing in place when a few issues with the scene are amended Sonic will board the plane with a jump like entails his story the game also has a persistent camera glitch where the camera is placed behind the character instead of in its intended position when appearing at the alter of the emeralds the transition from the previous scene prevents the proper camera from being used some hackers have managed to correct the camera revealing the intended angle for several scenes this bug appeared in the DX gamecube version but was fixed in later ports of the game in the PC version of Sonic Heroes some voice lines that were supposed to be heard won't load at all most notably team creams a rank line in fact many voice files were left empty in the PC version for unknown reasons however subtitles for some of these lines still appear another voiceover mistake comes when defeating the robot carnival boss dr. Eggman will say the line don't get so excited boys even while addressing the teams with female members team dark and team rose in the NSTC U PlayStation 2 version of heroes the localization team neglected to switch the functions of X and circle in Japan circle means accept or correct while X means wrong or back this isn't the same in English and so usually the two buttons functions are swapped the change was corrected at PAL versions of heroes some mistakes in Sonic games weren't entirely the fault of Sega to promote Sonic and the Black Knight Sega held a fan art contest winning entrance would get a free copy of the game and have their artwork displayed in the game's special gallery mode unfortunately one of the winners was found to have traced his image from another fan artist mega 777 the winner was quickly disqualified and he posted a full apology on the sonic italia message boards claiming he thought Sega would have checked for any evidence of wrongdoing while Sega attempted to get in touch with mega 777 offering to send her the game in some swag as an apology they also stated they would not be updating the game to correct the mistake thus the wrong person remains credited in Sonic and the Black Knight to this day did you also know that the company behind the sonic movies CG effects also made Sonic oh 6 his pre-rendered cutscenes or that completely reworking Sonic's design in the Sonic movie only cost about 5 million US dollars for more facts check out the digital movies video on the Sonic movie [Music]

Given the title, I expected it to be a much longer video.
