The "cope" sign aged like a fine wine.

Sega shouldve added a "seethe + mald" sign

Gotta love the glitchy audio from more than a decade ago.

"im not a big fan of crabs" same here lmao

[@Loader2K1]

I honestly believe the city in the background is supposed to be the Star Light Zone, because it's the only other zone in the game which has contemporary buildings in the background. Also, I believe the Marble Zone is on the other side of those mountains.

[@jacobthelord]

the pink thing is called a spike, literally

[@rainopaino]

Creative.

[@themythicalmaroonman6343]

It’s stupid because there’s more than 1 spike on his back,

[@samantharizza5043]

"COPE" is one of the (many) easter eggs from one of the designers on the Sega team! I wish I could remember more detail but it was from a book I read like two years ago... The Console Wars, highly recommend!

[@gdkey8025]

i think it's an homage to japanese pinball tables

[@itsknighttime9572]

@@gdkey8025 no it's not. You're wrong.

[@crintondux]

"The first game also has glowing letters reading "COPE" in the Spring Yard Zone, which is the acronym for one of the graphics processing routines used by the developers."

I have the same thoughts as Cybershell: "You either love this zone or you hate it. There's no middle ground. Personally, I think it's alright."

[@BlaximilianD00d]

What is this...? COPE?!?

[@AngieMarioFreak2001]

[@TheBrainScratcher]

i read somewhere that cope was the name of a coprocessor used in the making of the game, but i may be wrong.

[@KurtKokaine1]

Lol Cybershell, you're the greatest. I'll never understand why you have so many haters though. None of your dialogue is forced, you're just so easy-going with your LP's and I swear every bit of your humor is 100% natural. I find myself laughing at any random shit you're talking about, even when it it's obviously not intended to be laughed at. Like I said, man you're the greatest.

[@NotRay1995]

What haters?

[@poopyfart89]

Based

[@Thenumber1yoshi]

Cope is there because it's a development gag. It's the acronym for one of the graphics processing routines used by the developers of the game, so it's there as a developer joke.

[@unquietsky]

Sounds like some cope to me

[@Garbo_trashcan]

1:16 no way, Sonic 1 invented twitter

[@KrosanBeast315]

1:25 COPE is an acronym for one of the graphics processing routines used by the developers. There is your answer!

[@yoshihammerbro435]

[@Bunger8539]

[@AspieKing26]

I think the cope is a Japanese translation thing. You ever notice when something is made in Japan or China how bad the translations to English are?

[@xity-xfilms5228]

Like up on CPU

There is no middle ground: “I think it’s alright”

[@KiwifruitPixie]

Even though this zone was the cause of a lot of frustration when I was younger, I always liked the music. Sonic games always have some of the best music imaginable.

[@TheREALVletrmx21]

Best zone in any sonic game imo. Great music and setting

[@itsknighttime9572]

Terrible opinion.

4:00 hahaha deceased crab joke

[@dazzla84_ssfc]

At 6:49, you probably already know it but the reason you cant get the shield is cos beneath it is the exit of a secret passage which is found at the bottom of those moving blocks at 6:20, in that secret passage is another extra life

[@marykensik9516]

From the desk of Ian Winters(my son): Fun fact: Act 2 of this zone is one of the only two levels in Sonic history to have two exits, the other being Collision Chaos Zone Act 2, from Sonic CD.

[@DeanPuckering]

Wrong. Star Light Zone has 2 exits as well. One on the lower path and one on the higher path.

[@djlamar2]

my favorite zone of all time for the original sonic. this zone is so much fun.

[@Nyx_Goddess_of_Night_46]

0:43 captions say "his japanese name is pregnant yet voting" 😂😂

[@The73MPL4R]

I think COPE is just a case of the Japanese developers adding a random English word because they thought it sounded cool That's how they got the name for Genocide City Zone before it got scrapped

[@ejjohnson3060]

Cope: to deal with

[@micmamane]

Love this zone, and I honestly noticed the cope signs first time. You could guess that means that you have to cope with the difficulty or something.

[@dandastardly2792]

7:12 ish did anyone hear a soft "great" when he finally gets down to the shield

[@tl1882]

sounds like hooray

[@terminalvelocityrunner2202]

I've noticed that the signs in the level usually let you know what sort of gimmick is next. Like CPU means the spike balls, cope means bumpers, UP means go over the little roof parts. That's what I personally think they are for. They are usually pretty vague though.

[@DorkVaderYT]

I love these intro remixes of the zone

[@darkowl9]

The ring placement in these levels is very strange. They're very tightly clustered, yet are always more spaced in other Sonic games.

[@oobndroobw]

Did anyone else catch the knock on deceased crab?

[@fraughtmonster8]

I don't get it unfortunately

[@C4CreamOfWheat]

That Spring Yard remix in the opening is nice

[@shadepizza4217]

I could have SWORN labyrinth was the third every time I played this

The Sonic Retro website calls that unknown enemy "Spikes."

[@Synnystershy]

On the Sonic wikia apparently yadorin's name is Spiker or something.

[@henf5671]

I like how you play the game and then make your commentary. keep making these types of videos.

[@HerEyesWereWild]

Man, I love this zone. :D It's like being in a pinball machine!

[@Sparkette]

I tried SO hard to get to this zone. I mainly just wanted to see what the rest of it looked like, and what the rest of the music sounded like. (I saw part of it in the demo.) When I finally did, it was awesome. This was before I knew about the level select, of course.

Spring Yard Zone is what I consider to be the first "Very Hard" stage of this game, so I think it was justified.

[@MegaWheelchairMan]

those bummers are my favorite part about this level

[@eisemanrenyardjake]

I've found a Sonic the Hedgehog yearbook, that just calls the Yadorin "Spikes" in its Badnik Watch guide. Hardly the most imaginative name....

[@Soroboruo]

man, I don't even remember this place

Is there a difference between the yellow and red springs? Always thought the red ones bounce you higher

[@endr0891]

I always lost at marble zone and just recently got past it and made all the way to labyrinth zone and then died got sad and went and played Sonic 2 instead, then made it past hill top zone for the first time. Then die at metropolis zone. And then just cried. Edit: when I meant I died, I meant I got a game over.

[@NixontheVix3n]

I've heard Cope is there because the game is a metaphor for a maturing man. For some reason this part represents a turn to hedonism as a coping mechanism/

[@Soroboruo]

Wait, where did the roller go? There's something hilarious about 'Not fond of crabs'.

[@Loader2K1]

I honestly believe the city in the background is supposed to be the city in Star Light Zone, but who knows?

[@conlia]

The last badnik's English name is Spikes. There is another game called Unfair Platformer,and it has Spring Yard's music exclusive to it! And there is a cheat in the options menu that adds a seventh chaos emerald and you can go super.Note that Super Sonic in this with the cheat activated looks like Sonic 2's Super Sonic.

[@liamsgreatbitgaming]

conlia That's the iOS version

[@daultimatenug453]

5:37 i'm surprised cybershell didn't make a pp joke there

[@Miley71520]

Lmao, all my life until recently, I thought Spring Yard got its name because it was supposed to be the season spring, not because of all the actual springs, lol. xD [/fail]. And I never even noticed the cope signs until recently either. [/doublefail.] Love the zone btw. I don't get why people hate it so much. Anyways, great commentary. It really entertained me.

[@David93434]

COPE UP CPU, as in, "come on cpu, just cope up with sonic's speed" (which was probably hard for it)

[@Thenumber1yoshi]

Too bad I didn't get to this LP sooner, anyways I just found out the unamed badniks english name, Sega of America just got lazy and named him Spikes, yes I am serious thats what his english name is they didn't even bother to name him something different from the obstactles that are called spikes they just named him spikes even though there was already an obstactle that was already carrying that name.

[@JuggaloStoner669]

Some skilled bouncing

[@DaftBrian]

fucking LOVE this series

[@Gecko1993HogheadIncOfficial]

The enemy at 0:36 is Spikes. At least that's what it says in the Sonic The Hedgehog original Strategy Guide...

[@combobasha]

the music in this round, there's something about it

[@JiGe96]

At 7:38 after spending several minutes getting down and up for the sake of the shield; *BADONG*

[@jamlpe]

The purple thing with spikes on its head's name is "Spikes"

[@marksamazingchannelbymd9799]

4:16 Joke of the year

[@SmashBrosBrawl]

Not that Im aware of. They just wanted to stick some English words in to make it look cool (Japanese consider English words cool much like we do Japanese words). Cope means to deal with. Up means up. On means on. And CPU means Cenral Processing Unit. Pretty basic stuff.

[@SolarisParadox]

@ 8:17 You couldn't get into the Special Stage from Scrap Brain Zone even if you were good enough to finish with 50 rings. The Special Ring won't appear in that zone.

[@SpyrosKoronis]

Makes sense in story. That zone is Robotnik's lab and he's searching for the Emeralds, so if Special Rings appeared there he might have gotten them already.

[@SueZQue83]

Apparently “Yadorin” is called “Spike(s)” in English

[@Pyrulus]

lol at "kantsu" in katakana

[@yoshibeara3446]

there is no middle ground... i think it's ok

[@truindividual]

I love this level

[@SMaster777]

If Yadorin has an English name, its really stupid- Spikes. I have a Sonic the Hedgehog board game, and it occured to me literally 10 minutes before I posted this, that on the game's badnik tokens, all them have their names, and Yadorin, as well as Moto Bug, Ball Hog and Jaws were all on there. Yadorin's tokens have the name of "Spikes". Take the info as you will, lol.

[@Zeape]

gr8 stuff

[@SonicTheJackrabbit]

Cope means having to deal with something. Which defines the difficulty of the zone. Also WTF, is that city in the distance, is that Scrap Brain Zone, I really want to know.

[@AngryPotatoGamer]

This is a nice video, love your comments!

[@AlexRomen]

"You either love this zone or you hate this zone. There's no middle-ground" "personally, I think its alright." Sounds like a middle ground to me...

[@Gluupor]

2:27 LOL comer I usually just let it go when I miss any rings at a spot like that, it's just not worth it ^_^

[@AmineSamus]

I think we all know that. But that still doesn't explain why it's all over the level.

[@eisemanrenyardjake]

"You either love this zone or hate it". I love it! P.S. I think "some guy" is called Spikes (in English at least). Not the most original name, is it?

[@AntoRetroGamer]

Spring Yard > Collision Choas + Wacky Workbench.

[@SnancyNegative]

Cope means to deal with. So, SEGA thought that this zone was total bollocks and so they told you to cope with the bollockness of this zone.

[@myspaceuser567]

oh lol the one made of rings

[@DigiTan000]

COPE That's deep. o_0

[@Kennuhisaki]

COPE Creating Optimal Personal Experiences??

[@markcarls1896]

Sonic is the name and speed is my game. I make thunder and lightning look like one in the same. Anyone else singin that throughout the level?

[@RasmusKudahl]

Cope was a typo that was meant to say "Dope" .. Because sonic MUST be on something to run that fast.

[@specialstagepro]

cope with a loss thats all i know it from.

[@Loader2K1]

They do, not to mention faster.

[@DarkMasterofCupcakes]

I think "COPE" mean "Cope with the annoying springs".

[@michie123]

i think cope means just cope with the ambundance of sprins, bumpers etc.

[@GrounderSez]

i thought cope was a spanish radio station

[@redryan20000]

cope means DEAL WITH THE BADNESS OF SPRING YARD ZONE

[@neonfatum]

This Zone is so brutal, I don't know how other players can deal with it. I mean, if I lose in this game, I have to start all over again, are there gonna be any continues?

[@tl1882]

get 50 rings in a special stage
