Let's Look at Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games!

The hedgehog and the plumber are back together again. And this time, they're a little flat. Because video games.
Also.......it ends. This is it.

[@mcblocks123]

I was in middle school when this retrospective started..............- I’m in college now

[@RisingJay]

dang, same! crazy right? haha

[@ethanxpsp2770]

Im 19 and graduated from high school recently I've been watching Clement since middle school 2012 or 13 crazy

[@jollypop_comics8759]

I've been watching this retrospective since his Tails' Adventure LP in 2011. I was 11 years old then. I was in middle school. I didn't have a brother or a sister then. I lived in Brasil then. Now I'm 19 living in Texas. It's crazy. XD

[@Joeylinkmaster]

I was in high school. Now I’ve graduated college, I’m married, and own a house. Time sure flies doesn’t it?

[@gc6096]

Jeremiah Staab same here

[@MatthewDadoun]

"this is the first time I'm covering an Olympic game before the Olympics" Yeah about that

[@anothergamer112]

Clement. I want to say congratulations for a job well done. Your Sonic retrospective will be representative of the 2010s decade when it comes to KZbin. The commentary, the stellar gameplay, and even the hilarious cut away gags from time to time made every part worth watching. You've successfully defended some of the less appreciated games and made your mark in internet history with your iconic Sonic 06 movie review. From my time in fourth grade to my last day of my third semester of college, it's been one hell of a ride. So, all I can really say now is...thanks.

[@darshpatel3525]

End of an era. I never thought this day would come.

[@SagePitre]

Nah fr, it’ll make 14 years today from the beginning. I started watching it in the summer of 2022, and would take breaks here and there.

[@mob_status]

wow this is the last video of the sonic retrospective for awhile :/

[@michaelrhett4958]

Remember when he started the 3D games? I do

[@ethanxpsp2770]

Probably for years

[@weirdotzero7065]

It won’t technically be a retrospective, sense it’s not looking back on anything. It’ll be just normal playthroughs.

[@Gnidel]

@@weirdotzero7065 Modernperspectives?

[@hypershadix1]

Michael Rhett I remember while he was playing the X files game he said in one of the parts “aloha welcome to not Sonic Adventure”

[@joey-jw3rj]

2012: "I should have never seen Dr. Eggman's Eyes!" 2019: "I should have never seen Dr. Eggman's Nipples!" So this is it, we've reached the Endgame, No more Sonic games to look at in the retrospective until Sega releases the next game, whenever it is and whatever it is.

[@amyprobets9325]

I don't think there's going to be any Sonic games coming out next year. Maybe a mobile game that ties in to the movie but that's it.

[@ABlob]

@@amyprobets9325 Iizuka said that 2021 will be the next big year for Sonic so... yeah...

[@spiderninja8779]

now, for the finale of the retrospective, Clement plays Sonic 06 and Sonic free riders at the same time

[@aortaplatinum]

"Ladies and gentlemen, these are-" **smash cut to shirtless Eggman** "THE EGG NIPS!" **cut back to Clement** "... yes the Egg Nips." I guess if you want to do more Sonic stuff, you could talk about the IDW series. There's enough there by now to really get into it, and Eggman has a ton of great moments, especially one particular bit in the most recent issue.

[@leramieuchihanewgamingorde6655]

If I may quote a particular Crush 40 song...it's been a long rough road, but we're finally here.

[@seanibarra-loredo7290]

Never Turn Back?

[@hugoflores1093]

IS IT TRUE? IS IT TRUE?

[@Lightspeeds]

I move an inch forward, it feels like a year.

[@meganinten0078]

5:06-5:12 My favorite part of this video XD Well, at least you can't see Eggman's eyes. Sweet memories of the 06 review 😁

[@FirithPanda]

Man, I was in--I think I was starting middle school when I found this channel...and now it's over after I'm out. 11 years old when I found this channel and now 21...Wow.

[@awesomeness1122]

Shirtless eggman reminds me of those sonic shorts that where on the internet a while back.

[@Soufriere84]

WON-DER-LAND! _(Sonic's eyes literally melt)_

[@johnathonturner2279]

YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT!

[@Jtmissile]

NICE WATCH NERDS!

[@Zostead]

That moment when it hits you that Clement covered 20+ years of gaming in 10 years almost on a constant basis. Real talk, I'm a Sonic fan because Clement. I really subbed to him because of his Mega Man LPs but then I started watching his Sonic stuff and fell in love with it. Even buying and playing some of the games for myself. You're channel has been a big part of my childhood and young adult life. I remember anytime I was depressed or sad I would put on one of your LPs and draw or watch one SomecallmeJohnny's reviews. Made my day when you guys did the Mega Man 3 review together. Honestly Clement. You mean more to some people than you know and I want you to know that these 10+ years of commentary from you have really been a fuckin blast. Keep it up man.

[@5nesta]

20+ years? More like almost 30.

[@ethanxpsp2770]

Well this is the end huh it's been a hell of a ride clement and I'm glad to be a part of it congrats Clement enjoy your long ass sonic hiatus you sure as hell deserve it congrats Clement thanks for everything

[@awesomeguy2009]

That's it. Wow, it feels so surreal for you to be done the Sonic retrospective.

[@TomsSauce]

Man I don't really care about this game, but how could I not tune in to the final episode of the Sonic retrospective until the next Sonic game or whatever? Crazy to think how long this has been going on for! Dr Eggmans nipples are as cursed as seeing his eyes in 06

[@isaiahrivers7117]

Kinda wish they made an actual Mario Sonic crossover where Mario and Sonic meet and team up to stop both Bowser and Eggman where i guess they supposedly team up to try to take over the world or something and Mario and Sonic has to stop them and you know even if it's just this once.

[@fusionwing4208]

They sorta tried that for some of the olympic games but id love to see a actual platformer do that for once

[@arturcm10]

Try out Somari

[@jackkire9823]

Clement's Sonic Retrospective is a highlight of the decade for sure.

[@heavynorse7746]

And now... a SUPER MARIO RETROSPECTIVE! Nah, I'm kidding, congratulations on finishing the Sonic Retrospective! And a Merry Christmas to you!

[@GleamingGarmore]

Back when we were all young and innocent and thought there’d be a 2020 Olympics...

[@selder_7]

You’ve finally done it, after all this time we’re caught up. Your sonic retrospective (specifically knuckles chaotix) is what got me into KZbin in the first place and has always been a favourite. Sad to see it over after all this time but there’ll be more games eventually and I’ve always enjoyed the non sonic and megaman games you decide to show off and the final fantasy reviews. Well done clement

[@sokitaoshiwade7255]

This isn't the end of the sonic retrospective.As long as SEGA still makes sonic games it will never end.This is just a break until the next game comes out so Clement you will still have me as a supporter.

[@MarkAmaro]

But it won't be a retrospective it'll be current play throughs

[@arturcm10]

I can't believe you actually covered all Sonic games ever. Good job Clement! I'm proud of you I've been subscribed to your channel since 2012 so it really feels like an achievement!

[@ethanxpsp2770]

I find it funny that the final vid of you're sonic retrospective was mario and sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games, a crossover with sonic's old rival, how fitting of a ending.

[@ethanxpsp2770]

It's also really funny that the real life 2020 Olympic games got cancelled because of covid, now this game aged bizarrely because of that, i just find it funny.

[@LuminareSmells]

end of an era right before the decade ends, what a fucking journey, been with it ever since I was a literal fucking child lol, quite bitter sweet, thank you clement for everything

[@randytyson]

Anyone else just want a voiceclip where mario says sonic and thats it. Also congrats on finishing the perspective

[@penguinman2233]

DO IT CHARLES!!!!

[@gameman5804]

What a way to end this retrospective... on an Olympic game of all things. End of an era.

[@5nesta]

Thank you for the content. Overall fantastic retrospective.

[@neonlightmole9634]

And with that, Clement's nearly decade-long Journey is over, and what a ride it was..... Now he just has to finish Final Fantasy LOL. Seriously though, nice job Clement, it May have been and endurance test at times, but you made it.

[@Soufriere84]

You did it. You caught up. As someone who's been watching the Sonic Retrospective since near the beginning, I'm amazed we've lived to see this day. Good job. I look forward to whatever you decide to do next.

[@jonathanthomas9259]

14:02 - “I was looking forward to seeing a ninja in Japan, but I haven’t really found one. They must be really good at hiding!” What toad was expected to see a ninja, but didn’t find it.

[@godstriker8]

I was in high school when this retrospective started and I'm graduating college lol. My favourite video was the Silver 420 one

[@ShogunGin0]

I've been subscribed to you since 2011, around the time you were uploading your Tails Adventure videos. It's been a fun ride, Jamie.

[@mrpainface8515]

Honestly seeing the different outfits is all I really feel like I need to see from this game

[@bajablastre]

For the better half of the decade, I was here watching. I still can’t believe it. Thanks for all the good times, Clement! Here’s to many more :)

[@Omar_E11]

Hard to believe Clement's finally caught up. Of course I'd like to assume this isn't the end of Sonic on your channel, but it's quite surreal to see that he's finally up to date. It's been a pleasure. Although I wonder what was up with the cliffhanger at the end....

[@melodym9256]

That's particularly funny; getting bored over some Sonic games after finishing has happened before, but we didn't get bored with as many Mario.

[@theonlyafropuff]

It's been a great decade Clement, thanks for all the nerd lore and game facts my dude.

[@somedumbhoe7123]

Oh my god, I’m not ready for this. I’ve been watching since late middle school. This man taught me to love Sonic Heroes, it’s my favorite Sonic title and I always rewatch his playthrough. I’m not- *im not ready goddammit*

[@starfalchion4404]

I agree with this video. I loved the Mario and Sonic series, but ever since Sochi, it seems like SEGA has been giving less and less effort with each go at the series. Why guest characters again? Why no fun extra multiplayer mode like Festival or London Party? And especially the lack of remixes in this one! Those amazing remixes from previous games was something I always looked forward to in the series. Even Rio had great remixes.

[@ModelAAA90]

Yeah, it does have many set backs... But they thankfully took a step in the right direction, which is important for not only an Olympiad series, but as a representation for an event taking place in their home turf of Japan. Hopefully, if they do make another one in 2-4 years from now, we’ll have something that’ll rival the likes of the London 2012 Edition.

[@eazy7737]

It is so weird I started watching the let's play series when I was in middle school. Now, I'm in college, crazy to see it end.

[@kylecampbell565]

5:06 nice call back to the 06 review “OH GOD! I can see his eyes! I should NEVER have been able to see Dr. Eggman’s eyes! Now I know that they’re blue....”

[@davidgiron3666]

Been watching since Sonic Adventure 2. Now we're at the end of the Sonic retrospective. Feels great to see the End of an Era.

[@megacrashthehedgehog5377]

Wow, you've been doing this retrospective for so long I didn't even realize that there weren't any games after this until you mentioned it.

[@retrogamer6403]

Never thought I see the day where the Sonic Retrospective is over. I remember jumping in late, seeing all his videos from the beginning, and now we're at the end of the road until the next Sonic game is announce.

[@bluevelocity9166]

Man it’s over (until the next game) can’t believe your all up to date. I remember watching your LP of Tails adventure all the way back when I was a little kid and loved your commentary and I certainly remember the SHUT UP moment. Thanks to you I gave Mega man a try and I really enjoy them and when it comes to Sonic this is the one place where I know I can find something positive to watch. Obviously when the Sonic game comes out that’s next but I wouldn’t mind seeing things about the tv shows or the Archie and IDW comics even for Mega man but whatever it is I’ll definitely tune in for it. Happy Holidays Great Clement.

[@InkyBoiArts]

Two things I’d think I’d never see in a video game review -METAL Sonic taking part in AQUATIC sports - Dr. Eggman punching the ever living SHIT out of Princess Peach

[@dff8088]

Oh my gosh. The day has finally come. Congrats Clement on finally reaching the current day in your sonic retrospective after 10 long years.

[@ModelAAA90]

I remember back when you posted that one video where you made one last look back before you began LPing the post 2D Era Sonic games and MAN, was that really all the way back in 2009?! (I was still in college back then, omg...) Well, congrats on finally being with the now. You’ve fully earned that Sonic Fan Belt full stop. 👏🏻🏆

[@sirkjohno0129]

This is the end... 😢 Guess I'll just binge watch it all again over Christmas. I always wanted to see Sonic Shuffle and Sonic Chronicles again 👍

[@chelosking985]

Great job Clement. Kinda sad that the MegaMan and sonic retrospective is all over now. Can't wait to see the direction you take the channel.

[@victorleesey1157]

Wow, can't believe the Retrospective is practically over. I remember coming home from school and watching his Adventure LP's and Shadow all the time. I'm going to miss it.

[@AntoRetroGamer]

Let's Look at Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo *2021 Olympic Games!...

[@Nel_Annette]

Clement! Congratulations on finally catching up and finishing this thing! I've been watching since 2011. Your Sonic '06 retrospective still feels like it just came out yesterday. Cheers!

[@Epsilonsama]

The Story mode of this game made me wish for an actual Mario and Sonic platformer crossover. The idea of being Sonic and Mario or Luigi and Tails seems like a great idea for a platformer.

[@Darkfawfulx]

I always thought an rpg would work.

[@IAmSmokinJoe]

Damn, I really just spent 9 years of my life watching someone play Sonic games. Feels weird to see it end.

[@millgiass]

Grats on completing the set Clement. You did good boy, you did good.

[@kylmon4759]

I was 13 when this thing started.. been here the entire rest of the way never skipping a beat to this day.. now I’m 22. Damn..

[@DylanDude]

Congratulations, Clement! A decade of effort well spent!

[@apteropith]

I find it funny that we also get to see Eggman's toes, but not his bare fingers.

[@donovanhancock6137]

I'm glad you're all caught up, but I'm kind of sad, too. This retrospective means a lot to me. The first Let's Play I ever watched was your playthrough of Sonic Riders. Your love of this franchise and the way you would talk about these games convinced me to get Sonic Generations back when it was new, and that made me a fan of Sonic, myself. It was through this channel that I discovered Somecallmejohnny and BrainScratch. Growing up in a community where nobody really plays video games unless they're COD or GTA, I never really had that many people who I had anything in common with, but after finding your LPs through a random KZbin search, I was able to discover this whole wonderful, terrible world of gamers, and I'd say it's changed my life. I owe a lot to you and your channel, so thank you, Clement. Thank you for this retrospective and thank you for all of your other amazing content. I'm looking forward to your next video. Whatever it may be.

[@aquelgamermexicano]

It is quite surreal to see this technically reaching "an end". We know we're getting a new game sooner or later, but after 7 years (i started watching right when the Sonic 06 review ended) of consistent updates and videos, it's just odd seeing the series of videos, if not done, at least on the of not being a retrospective anymore, but just LP's

[@GoGojiraGo]

I think it was Miyamoto who doesn't want an actual crossover platform/adventure game involving Mario and Sonic because he can't see/figure out how to have both playstyles in one game. So instead we have Olympics.

[@sharksbo2394]

GoGojiraGo It be best If they Did like The Mario and Luigi games and make it like an RPG and Mario and Sonic can use combo moves Like Mario kicking Sonic like a Football Into enemies

[@kylecampbell565]

That’s the official reason. I agree that a platformer wouldn’t work unless they isolated when you played as each character which would defeat the purpose Still I’d still rather have an RPG or racing game over the Olympics

[@ryansanders5362]

Every time I hear the phrase "Mario & Sonic join forces" my hopes go up way higher than they should be

[@apocalypsevalentine]

Been following you for a long time, Clement. Crazy to see how far you've come in these years.

[@MidosujiSen]

I was halfway through the 4th grade when this retrospective started, god damn.

[@samza9233]

I remember when you were uploading Sonic Heroes episodes, and now you are caught up. Congratulations!

[@FengTheSlayer]

I just found out about this channel and I gotta say the reviews in general are very intriguing to see, hopefully this isn’t the actual end of this channel because I just got into it, and even if their isn’t any sonic games to review yet they’re other games from different franchises which I think would be intriguing to watch

[@louiseugeniojr.3530]

I actually asked for this game for Christmas. Ever since it was announced, I've gotten hyped up for it. In recent years, I've started warming up to the Mario and Sonic Olympics series. Merry Christmas.

[@amyprobets9325]

I'm getting this for Christmas as well. I actually want to try out the Sport Climbing event.

[@clydegreen9555]

Still gotta play Sonic school house 😂

[@EnigmaBarry]

Congrats on covering all of Sonic the Hedgehog!

[@meccquest13]

Clement I'm pretty sure that the option for motion control and button mashing wasn't included to appease people that dislike motion control but to allow people with switch lites to play the game and not limit the game to just the regular switch.

[@ClementJ64]

Yeah that makes sense. I sometimes don't think about the handheld applications when I play games on my Switch. I mostly play stuff on my TV.

[@OrangeToadGamer]

Since the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games didn't happen yet as the time I am typing this, hopefully they can add DLC like MORE DREAM EVENTS or characters

[@juliannocartagena2007]

OrangeToadGamer 2005 And Miis.

[@thetruej7872]

Metropolitan Highway in Mario & Sonic has better level design than in Forces

[@ANDRESLOPEZ_24]

End of an era , you are now free clement

[@InkyBoiArts]

ANDRES LOPEZ Uuuuuuuuuntil the Sonic Movie (if he chooses to review it), and the possible new Sonic games coming somewhere in 2020

[@Chimaru789]

I've been watching this channel since i found it through the BSC playthrough of Sonic Generations... that was 8 years ago. I was 13?? The Sonic retrospective has always just kinda been there for me, what are we all gonna do now? (also I think it's about time you revisited City Escape Act 1, it's been long enough 🤔)

[@antoniomadison7885]

Seeing the MARIO and SONIC characters in different sports attire kind of makes me wonder why that couldn’t happen for the past summer and winter games

[@benpopalisky1168]

You did it! We are caught up! Great work over all these years, I have been watching since 2011. I appreciate all the hard work.

[@matthewmorrison3745]

They could've easily made the medal collecting fun by adding eggman nega events after collecting a certain amount of medals. The events would be some crazy version of already existing ones but atleast it would be kind of new.

[@pokeplayerHQ]

I guess the only thing left is the Sonic the Hedgehog movie coming out next year. Of course, you'll only legally have trailer footage to work with until it comes out on DVD & Blu-ray. So maybe it'll be a while before we get that depending on what you want to work with. Guess until then you can work on other stuff. See ya for whatever you have planned next.

[@Nimta]

I think I'll like this game for about a dozen hours, then come back to it occasionally. Hopefully it gets marked down by the time I get my switch in like a year.

[@mardiman641]

i hope the finale of the retrospective comes out before 2019

[@melodym9256]

I have a confession to make. I wasn't gonna add this because I noticed something else we did wrong (we didn't use to not want to play good Mario and/or Sonic game after finishing the story, I meant) but I want to want to(it's not a double writing mistake; I don't want to play the game again) play this game again because it gives actual fun education for more of those ten or older and I love Japan.

[@AhkoRC]

Found Clement when he was doing The Wily Wars. 72 years later, he's finished with Sonic. It was worth sticking around.

[@nintendylan2]

Damn, the ending of this hit hard

[@Tjoeb123]

I was wonderjng if you would do one more video capping off the Sonic series, a la Goodbye, Classic Sonic right before you did Sonic Adventure. (Which I remember. ....Man I'm old.) Also, lookin' good Clement!

[@GameGod77]

The irony of you finally catching up to the modern games is that now you can't make a joke about the the game's title being wrong. If only you got here a couple months later!

[@hwa523cagaming]

At 5:04 I immediately thought of the Sonic Paradox videos with Dr. Eggman doing the Chip N Dales dances!

[@nepnepnepnepnepnepnepnep6776]

This is crazy like the end of an era I've been watching since sonic 2

[@jollypop_comics8759]

Finally. The seal has been lifted. After ten thousand years, he is free!!

[@xRocketzFighterx]

Hope you submit this retrospective to guiness world records and maybe sega. Sega should send you a ton of good merch or other sega games as a reward for doing this insane gamer challenge.

[@Jordanhumanhedgehog]

Correct me if I'm wrong, this game and more so its title's now a bit dated from the unfortunate recent turn of events with COVID19 "Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games"? A more appropriate one would be "Mario & Sonic at home"

[@BunstoppableForce]

"I SHOULD NEVER HAVE SEEN DOCTOR EGGMAN'S [X]" is an ancient reference now, I can't believe it's been 7 years since that glorious 3+ hour review

[@DeepDiveDevin]

"I can see his nipples. I should never have seen Dr. Eggman's nipples!" Is that a fucking reference to the 3 hour 06 review?

[@DonGEX]

We're in the Endgame... Or more appropriately for this month. The Saga will end.

[@rowler7800]

wow, its over for now, its been soo long i remember you only being on advanced three and me thinking you will never catch up but wow, you did it.

[@flameguy21]

Dude, what are talking about? Seeing Eggman shirtless is the best part of this game.

[@sonickid-9254]

The finale is gonna hurt me in the childhood. I already know it.

[@juliannocartagena2007]

Well at least you mention the Miis being gone. They were the only character I used.

[@dprototype6431]

The retro events can’t help but remind me of edgy sprite animations from this site and Newgrounds. I’m half expecting hyper realistic blood to pop out of Toad.
