We’re not so sure what was going on here. Our list includes Danica Patrick “Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed” (2012), Purple Gem “Sonic the Hedgehog” (2006), Metal Characters “Sonic Heroes” (2003), & Knuckles Mode “Sonic Mania” (2017), Eggman “Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood” (2008) and more!

Heal cannon is not useless by the way. You can increase your dark or hero score by using Heal cannon, it also makes hero mission easier on stage The Doom .

[@mattiasolsson1523]

You got a Good point

[@jepr91]

It also pacifies whoever you shoot so they no longer attack. It was particularly useful for score grinding in levels where the enemies are skewed towards one end of the Hero/Dark affiliation.

[@KazeShikamaru]

Oh that is actually cool.

[@granixo]

Also Mojo guy said you have to only complete Hero missions in a playthrough in order to unlock it which is objectively false.

[@mandrillzrx8760]

It's really though to get a A rank on missions in stages where the enemies majority is the opposite, so the Heal Cannon is very useful to get hero points on an stage where the majority of enemys are good, like the Gun Base, and Dark points in stages full of evil enemies, like Final Haunt.

I wouldn't really say Eggman as a party member in the Sonic rpg was too weird. That was already done as far back as Super Mario RPG with Bowser, who is just as unlikely to team up with Mario as Eggman is with Sonic. And they've also had stories where Eggman worked with Sonic to deal with a more relevant threat at that given time. So pretty par for the course, even beyond these franchises stuff like that has been done countless times with many different RPG'S and genres in general

Looking in to it. I don’t think that is accurate. I think you could only use metal characters in 2 player mode. I think using metal characters in single player mode is a mod of some sort. It’s been years since I played the game so I’m not sure (I did get all the emblems in it though).

Do they think it looks like a human head stitched onto Sonic's body? But then they only ever described it in terms of a "costume". 🤔 Classic awkward Mojo script lol.

[@tracyndiyob162]

danica patrick is still the weirdest as it honestly felt random(a lot of the other picks were since they kept hatsune miku/bayonetta,older roster picks or other sega character old and new from that game compared to tf2 for some reason.) considering at least with ralph you could say he game hopped or sonic invited him(wish he showed up in that tie in comic instead of danica.). love metal knuckles and his appearance in the 30th anniversary comic. would love if the forms were combined in the next game for honey being a ranma 1/2 scenario where she changes from her human to cat look in a comical way. the sega guest characters were my favorite part of riders(if we see a sequel would love to see joker/the phantom thieves,sakura from sakura wars & especially bayonetta in it's outfits.:3) along with it's charming style. remember seeing that the zombots in idw were based on this cheat. convinced & knuckles was based off the meme/somecallmejohnny's video along with oil ocean on fire. in heal cannon's case the fact you wasted time playing shadow the hedgehog is enough(omochao gun was a bit funny though) and love that the colors multiplayer was how you got chaos emeralds as i'd prefer going through a actual stage to get them.

Also the Unlockable Eggman in Chronicles wasn't weird by any means. Fang the Sniper debuted in Sonic Triple Trouble & also was playable in Sonic Drift 2 with a cameo in Tails Adventures before Sonic the Fighters. The characters in Sonic the Fighters aren't unlockables either if I remember correctly. Surprising that the weird unlocks of Generations weren't mentioned, or Adventure 2's Magic Hands & there were other weird unlocks in that game. Also weird that none of the unlocks in Secret Rings, Black Knight, or the Rivals Games made it into the video.

The heal cannon is actually the most overpowered weapon in Shadow the Hedgehog. No that's not a joke. Every time you hit an NPC, you get hero or dark points depending on who you hit. So it basically can help guarantee an A rank. Just shoot GUN soldiers for hero points and aliens for dark points. It's the easiest way to guarantee an A rank.

When I was younger, I remember a rumor that if you met certain conditions in Sonic Heroes, you could unlock a bonus team comprised of Metal Sonic, Eggman, and Chaos Zero. Never could track that down since then so it might just be the Mandela effect. Also, iirc, the shiny metal variants of the cast used in Heroes served as the inspiration for the metal virus and the zombots in the IDW comics.

[@shrekslythegreat7741]

“These 2 are never seen in any other sonic game” Sonic advance (I forget which one): Am I a joke to u?

[@OpalCreatesStuff5796]

I think the metal characters were from the IDW comic dubs about a “metal virus.” Where eggman created a virus that turns innocent mobians into metal zombies or as sonic likes to say zombots. He also lost half his team to the infectious metal, and the only way to cure it was sonic and silver going super. Sadly, in the end sonic died and silver was very injured but he survived. So yea, that’s what I think the metal characters are from.

Knuckles does turn mecha in the sonic games.

The Metal Unlock went on to become the Metal Virus in the IDW comics

[@Sly88Frye]

honestly I didn't find it weird that Robotnik was well temporarily playable in Sonic Chronicles the Dark brotherhood. I think the reason why though is because Super Mario RPG came out 12 years before and while I had never played the game at the time until I played it years later via the Wii virtual console, I already knew for a fact that Bowser was a playable Ally in that game so I just didn't think it was too far fetched for Dr Robotnik to be playable in Sonic chronicles. what I think sucks though is that in Sonic Chronicles Dr Robotnik stops being playable later on and is wasting a character slot. it's just a grade version of a space for the rest of the game that's taken up space in the character selection screen and it's just like damn it's just it's kind of an eye sort of look at.

You had disappointment for the metal skins in Sonic Heroes? I loved it. Edit: Funny enough as a kid I never found these cameos weird. In fact I loved it. I even enjoyed the Sonic Mii Costume.

Damn, remember when we were kids and the internet convinced all of us that if you used the Tails doll in Sonic R, you’d die after the game finished? Yeah, crazy times

[@iMute]

So I 100% sonic heroes twice played it back in the day as well and I’ve never known until now about those skins

Can you do top 10 upscured SEGA arcade games?

What about Sticks the Badger in Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games? That one is kind of weird because she's from the Sonic Boom series but also her "normal" counterpart looks identical to her Boom counterpart in contrast to Sonic and co. who all have different designs in Sonic Boom compared to the main series.

I feel like the Sonic CD majin sonic fun is infinite screen should have been up here

[@Zonefire15]

That's not unlockable though, it's just something you can view by playing sounds in a certain order in the sound test.

When you mentioned the costumes I was like thank god I’m not the only one who is traumatized do to those things

[@Syonval]

I’d imagine the & Knuckles mode is a shout-out to the meme of plugging Sonic & Knuckles into the Sonic & Knuckles cart on Genesis hoping something crazy will happen.

The cool thing about the robot characters in sonic heroes is that they got referenced in the comics semi-recently
