2:50 - The gunshot sound effect as the trooper shoots Maria is the same as the main menu gunshot. Meaning that every time you hear it, the game is shooting Maria again and again.

[@Meretrix2]

the fact the same shot replays inside shadow’s head over and over is kinda dark holy shit

[@6pmhotdog]

THE RETURN OF THE NOT SERIES HAS NEVER BEEN SO ANTICIPATED

[@Hugelag]

I KNEW IT WOULD COME BACK!

[@vengefulkatana7613]

FR

[@wify0241]

Look, I get it, you're tired of sonic the hedgehog

[@yoshimori_hero]

You're tired of everything RELATED to Sonic the Hedgehog

[@Zoroark_Master]

Don’t worry jo. Lore wise, in both this and heroes it’s confirmed it’s the original shadow, not a clone or robot. They confirm it in a small dialogue at the final boss of the game, but most don’t even get that dialogue because they kill the boss before it triggers.

[@lief5957]

eggman just wanted to troll shadow for a bit

[@indecisiveponderer643]

I mean realistically how would an Android clone even have access to shadow's memories lol

[@Zoroark_Master]

@@indecisiveponderer643 shadow has amnesia after SA2

[@NurseValentineSG]

I mean yeah, that dialogue happens like what, 7 minutes into a super sonic fight where you lose rings every second? That's a bit rough to get

[@AnotherGeek....]

It's also confirmed in the 100% true ending in shadow the hedgehog but almost nobody gets that ending cuz why play the same levels a million times? (If you make no mistakes in your paths)

[@guyonyoutube3850]

i want people to know that this video is the perfect representation of the shadow the hedgehog experience. almost every level will be spent with you dicking around trying to find one guy

[@kirabrown2656]

This was the only Sonic game I had as a kid. Unfortunately, I suspect that explains a lot about how I am as a person

[@TheWarbo]

I love everyone reacting to the menu gunshots the same way. Its like a gut-punch.

[@slushbucket707]

I hope they make a spinoff about shadow's nice blue counterpart

[@Batterykitten8]

That would be crazy

[@kite2778]

i always loved the cool and mature air around shadow. however his blue version could serve as an intresting light hearted and childish alternative

[@kestrelynn]

What's funny is that famous sonic fan Penny Snapcube genuinely thought sonic was a shadow spinoff as a kid. I wonder how many other people thought that

[@LannyLeArtist]

@@kestrelynnLOL REALLY!?

[@NaughtyBearforthexbox360andps3]

I love how the endings don't even matter at all, representing the illusion of choice. The edgiest game showing us the edgiest lesson ever, one that Naughty Bear for the xbox360 and ps3 will never forget.

[@Patodeagua213]

We need shadow the bear

[@brenudo997]

Naughty Bear Account, will you keep the dream alive in 2024?

[@kulekid6917]

shadow ALWAYS edges.

[@AceBattleStorm]

I legit had a ton of fun playing Naughty Bear Panic in Paradise

[@indecisiveponderer643]

by that logic every game that has multiple endings also sucks lmao

[@SemiHypercube]

Seeing the actual cutscenes in this feels wrong after watching the fandub of this game

[@AllieWhoops]

All I expect is "hey shadow its me the devil"

[@adonailr9667]

The fandub also makes more sense

[@Retrotude]

Those things are so sick it makes me wanna bark like a dog! WOOF WOOF WOOF

[@astrophysiciann]

when i see shadow standing under that tree i think “every day is the same…”

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

I really don't see why people think SnapCube are so funny. I can't remember laughing at any of their "comedy" bits. They're like the Seinfeld of game commentary channels.

[@Megapig9001]

Shadow the Hedgehog is Sonic Adventure 3. Here’s why. Sonic Adventure is a 3D game with six distinct gameplay styles and an emphasis on a story with multiple perspectives. Sonic Adventure 2 took Adventure and honed in on the 3 most popular gameplay styles: Running, Exploration, and Shooting. The story took the perspectives and added an emphasis on morality, while also loosely referencing Adventure 1. The next logical step would be to streamline the 3 gameplay styles into one cohesive experience. Shadow the Hedgehog is a game where you run around levels shooting things, and with an increased emphasis on exploration thanks to the multiple objectives. The story also fully delves into morality with all of the multiple endings rather than 3 set stories. The story also dives back into Adventure 2, tying it to the Adventure series. This is why Shadow the Hedgehog is Sonic Adventure 3. One of my favorite past times is making people mad with this argument.

[@emperortoho]

i’d agree were it not called shadow the hedgehog, thus it is not sonic adventure 3 checkmate😃

[@manjackson2772]

Oh so 06 is SA4 then

[@arvidbergman]

​@manjackson2772 *unironically* '06 would have been called Adventure 3 weren't it for SEGA wanting to do that thing franchises do where they name a sequel [Franchise Name]

[@emperortoho]

@@arvidbergman yeah but it aint adventure 3

[@kennethvalentine8901]

Wouldn't Sonic Heroes be Sonic adventure 3? It even started development as Sonic adventure 3

[@AverageDoctor345]

I played this game so much as a kid. It took me about 30 full playthroughs before I realized how to fight the final boss. The mission objectives are burned into my mind.

[@KingKayro87]

Ah yes. The pinnacle of video games. And I mean that in the most unironic way possible, I genuinely fucking love this game.

[@kaienjin5468]

Same.

[@DannyBob526]

Hopefully alpharad ranks up soon they have been hard stuck in gold for almost a year now

[@memelordrequiem7600]

god i wish i could someday be as cool as shadow the hedgehog

When the world needed it the most, the not series returned.

[@jackotsc7173]

As someone who does speedrun this game, a lot of the tricks are sick and fun to pull off.

[@rubenkossen3498]

I had no idea sonic lore went this hard. I might get into this shit.

[@nevercoald]

this was me a month ago and i am now up to my neck in lore help me

[@nellewoodruff6337]

As a hard-core sonic fan, bring a parachute with you into this rabbit hole

[@lunaristhomsen6941]

funny enough if you have a second controller joe can play as sonic while on your screen. it's the ultimate little brother feature

[@SkeleTonOfFun]

Just a fact I think y'all would appreciate. Black Doom shares his voice actor with Goku, both being voiced by Sean Schemmel.

[@Mail6YT]

I forgot how much i liked this game, i need to play it again

[@minus5601]

im actually kind of scared of watching this video bc ive never seen what this games gameplay looks like and i feel like seeing it will ruin the magic for me

[@tangosteen]

The shadow that we play as in this game and heroes, and the one seen later through the series, is not a clone. Long story short, in these games Eggman basically tries to gaslight shadow into believing he was just a clone of the original so he could exert control over him ( which doesn't work even if he does convince him in this game) And yeah i agree, sega was completely right to make this game. fans were begging for them to give sonic a gun at the time. And lastly shadow was definitely supposed to die in sa2, he was just too big of a hit with fans to let him rest in peace. I'm 1 minute in, and I'm already excited

[@seanhennessy3968]

Guy gets, like, three playable stages in SA2. Imagine if they actually killed him off there.

[@drilltotheheavens1695]

I’m impressed Jo was a black hearted evil instead of brave hearted hero. He is all that he his. Gurumin, Devil Survivor, Yokai Watch Blasters, and Idol Showdown in exchange for myself playing Suika! Day 344!

[@martijnhertog4802]

Big advice try the coop mod for this game. Its fixes most of the games issues and its a blast to play with a friend

[@bryanmulcare9083]

This game has to be perfect for their intro and the way he plays is insane. Sega made shadows game really good. BlazinZzetti did a hundred percent run of this game and that speedrun is insane. Especially the routes he takes are on point.

[@aaronolson6736]

Wait are we actually getting at least a whole route of this game? I can't wait for the rest, I only hope if we just get one it isn't purely one way or the other (or neutral)

[@usr-Lovelande]

I remember playing this game on my dads Playstation as a kid! I was terrible at it, but the nostalgia is there!

[@Wingsoffayt]

Shadow the hedgehog is a game that while is repetitive and tonally out of left field, I can’t say it isn’t made out of love. I mean if there wasn’t any love in it, why would they give all 350 possible routes a name and make em so raw sounding?

[@SnarkyRogue]

0:32 I feel like we don't talk about the pump action smg enough

[@mudkipfan2585]

Shadow is so cool he likes guns AND Latinas

[@Owlcoconut]

I love this game so much. The gunshot menu sounds take me out just like you two lmao.

[@xakerie5762]

I think if you want to unlock every music track or something you have to play this game through like over 200 times- one for every single combination of levels

[@hunterculpepper1973]

Not even game grumps skipped a cutscene for shadow the hedgehog

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

Because you can't skip cutscenes until you've viewed them once

[@gb4770]

Please finish the year with every alternative ending of shadow the hedgehog

[@biggiemunch]

Ever since they announced the tournament, they have made videos of more and more games that I want to see. Shadow the Hedgehog multiplayer would be sick so would amazing island

[@butter_0021]

I’m pretty sure all of these are pre recorded so as much as I would love them to play my game, I concede.

[@MiniNinja-oi6gf]

Anytime I see this game I just think of Snapcube fandub and "I am the devil. I'm here to convince you to do sin"

[@sloppy8149]

Holy shit, i died of laughter when he walked up in the intro cinematic and cocked his AR like a shotgun

[@screeno42]

I'll admit, looking back at the arc Shadow has over SA2, Heroes, this game, and 06, it's definitely one of those stories i wish got to be better told.

[@Morbius-Tension]

14:58 always thought this line was badass you guys should play this co op tbh

[@epicandpila]

when i was a kid i always wanted to try this game cause the game look so god damn cool back then

[@scrumblycat]

Would love to see a version of Sonic in smash that has attacks that get stronger when you go faster. Also, arial taunts that deal damage would go hard

[@pew646]

YAY THANK YOU FOR PLAYING SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG FOR MY BIRTHDAY

[@hunterculpepper1973]

I want a full on remaster of this

[@orangejuice3235]

Been waiting for this since the beginning of gold.

[@locustofchiron]

I didn't even think about it when I was a kid but now seeing Shadow chamber that MP5 like it's a Pump Action brings me incredible emotional anguish

[@sielklavar]

Killing Shadow off just adds to his edgey backstory lets be real

[@bladecker]

This is what i wanted for so long

[@anomaliexxx]

I found this thumbnail + title so genuinely hysterical that I laughed out loud when I saw it and publicly embarrassed myself. Then I saw it again today and I laughed again it's kind of sad but I find it so fucking funny

[@donovan802]

Rumors say that the Sonic 3 movie will be PG-13. Maybe they’ll finally give Shadow his glock after like a decade without it.

[@ItsZorroDood]

I love this game and I want a sequel or remake.

[@hidden_gipsy8197]

So glad this is the game we get on my birthday

[@lackluster4777]

According to Alpharad: alien race = robots

[@TKize777]

not me watching alpharad run past the gun beetles, and yes, there was a guy where he's like nope that wasnt a guy i only saw dooms eye devil on ur blind tunnel vision shoulder

[@user-ed4hi4tk2c]

I would love to watch alpharad gold play the rest of the pikmin games, the rest of the fnaf games, shantae, ape escape, and the luigis mansion series

[@seninshi]

when I saw this game on the "I've played these 300 games" list, it wasn't a lie

[@TCBlueFire]

Really want them to play more of this

[@pichu9546]

shadow revives after sa2 call that a chaos ex machina

[@chainsawmark9777]

Fun fact Black Doom in this game has the same voice actor... as Goku.

[@dm3productions852]

Wait I never knew Sean Schemmel was in this game!

[@flurbothebandit3526]

I remember playing this game when I was young it was an absolute banger

[@triledink]

All ten endings are what if's. and the only true ending aka the canon ending is the last story which ends up with Shadow to accept his past and leave it all behind so he isn't haunted by his past, But sega still wants to make Shadow a edgy hedgy and at times even in the canon games in the future ignore how he acts after the ending of his own game.

[@malgrimhilde6801]

when you uploaded this video my computer crashed

[@coyotix]

I love Not Sonic the Hedgehog, from my favorite game franchise "Not Sonic the Hedgehog"

[@kingzak13]

This game is so good and I really hope Alpharad and Jo do finish at least one story in it.

[@afurhat4726]

Perfect way to kick off the final 11 days

[@mw_guitars]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@brendanrisney2449]

I've been _waiting_ for this

[@male4047]

Of course this video is not sonic the hedgehog, we need to make time for a video on naughty bear for the xbox 360 and PlayStation 3! Any day now! Any day now...

[@ATKOtter]

Sonic Heroes actually confirms Shadow isn't a clone, he's real Shadow and his body was recovered.

[@O.w.O.]

"Look, I get it"

[@derekkim593]

Maybe best start to a video

[@VertigoCross777]

now for jacob to A rank every shadow the hedgehog mission

[@TKize777]

best vid of alpharad gold

[@criticalfailure5882]

Now I know why I liked this game as a kid. It’s awesome.

[@BananHippi]

Shadow is so misunderstood😔😔💔 very reminiscent of the cult classic video game Phantom Dust for Xbox and Windows

[@BananHippi]

share this message if you are phantom dusting right now

[@HeadPats4Peter]

8:02 any Lethal Company employee with Stop signs, Warning signs ? (seriously though, I saw another playthru of Shadow the Hedgehog and I never knew the signs in the 1st stage could become weapons)

[@bobble_01]

the gunshot sound effects for selecting in the menu is the most edgy shit I've ever heard damn

[@squeet0]

Won't lie this game was hype af to me as a kid

[@Sonic7486]

“Kids who have grown up and need a bit more edge in there life”

[@braydenputt2237]

Ow, the Edge

[@colemanclark4027]

This reminds me of episode two of shadow the hedgehog

[@pax2293]

This is gold

[@jayyh_01]

oh im so fucking ready

[@ryechan2126]

Wooooow I remember 100%ing this game when I was younger!! 😍🔥

[@quackkillerreal]

I wrote a sonic fanfic where shadow just ended up in a coma after falling from the ark

[@ayobamiadebayo2473]

just show the eyes of this thumbnail and new it was alpharad gold episode

[@competitively3315]

I need to do a reality check.

[@NurseValentineSG]

CAN YOU SEE ALL OF ME WALK INTO MY MYSTERY STEP INSIDE AND HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

I'm not sure if he was joking, but Joe doesn't understand anything about speedrunning this game at all. For one, there's not a single trick or glitch in the game called "wrong-warping," this isn't Zelda with loading zones to a different overworld section. There's the Chaos Control Glitch where you activate it at the same time as you open up the warp menu, but warping itself is unaffected. There are some places you can clip out of bounds to find shortcuts, but that's it. Nothing against him personally, but it kind of just sounds like he has a commentary template that gets reused for different games: "Oh the speedrunning for X game is wild, there's SOOOOO much wrong-warping." Or maybe that was the joke all along and I didn't get it until just now.

12 days before Punch Out wii is completely off the table

4:08 I have no idea if this has anything to do with this but wasn’t there a popular Sega branded Arcade in Japan that got rebranded?
