SGB Play: Sonic Spinball - Part 1

[@SomecallmeJohnny]

We're not doing Sonic Generations for a LONG time.

[@Landmasters]

Beyond agreeing with Matt on the luck factor, is there any other reason that turns you off from the concept?

[@SomecallmeJohnny]

Working on it. :)

[@MsDBZbabe]

YES! Looking forward to this, I couldn't ever finish the 3rd stage of this game as a kid, excited to see it completed by you :)!!

[@sonicsaiyan07]

There was an episode of AoStH based DIRECTLY off this game. Even used the name Veg-O-Fortress. In SatAM, just a random pinball trap.

[@Skalopulton301]

I like the SatAM one.

[@ComixBlade]

Yes there was but it was in the SATam series if your wondering what the episode was it's called. 'Gameguy' Season 2 Episode 1 if I remember correctly.

[@brahimilotfi9689]

My childhood but only on the title the opening and the first level

[@Roughman01]

Nice to see you guys playing Sonic spinball it was my first sonic game aswell well for the Megadrive (Genesis) though i Was fortunate enough to get Sonic 1 and 2 the Day after :)

[@darklordgig4885]

I remember this game from my childhood. I also remember the nightmares I got from the bosses in this game.

[@ClassicGameExpert]

This game isn't all bad, sure some people hate it, but i actually love this game. The nostalgia flows back in!

[@manicdrive85]

Same had this as a kid was first couple games I got for christmas I loved it I've beat it as a kid couple times and I still have the cart it was pretty fun

[@manicdrive85]

I enjoyed the bonus stages to

[@DrummerFromFife]

Johnny: If you keep mention the fact that I'm fucking looping, I'm gonna punch you in the fucking face A few seconds later Me: So Johnny, you seem to be looping quite a bit. Round and round we go, in one hole and out the other, looping non stop. Just round and round in circles we go

[@UzamakiNaruto085]

Oh god, just wait till Johnny plays the last level. Even Clement was pulling his hair out.

[@Skalopulton301]

Don’t even get me started! That level was a fucking nightmare!

[@cytashthegamer]

I do like how you can see who's playing the game by looking at the first video. nice touch Johnny

[@munchjrgames942]

"Hears SEGA" Shit, shit, old SGB video, shit, **MEGA EARRAPE** *_AUGGHHHHHH_*

[@maxo776]

This was my first Sonic game too. Didn't get Sonic the hedgehog 1 until I got the mega collection on the gamecube.

[@ryanleikness3414]

1:08. I had that glitch happen to me when I was 6 or 7 when I played this game

[@jruler93]

When I was in grade 5, there was a pinball machine in my class' homeroom, and I was the best in the class at it, rivaling me for that title was a guy named William Hayes, but his high scores never stayed on that for more than a few days, but mine would normally stay for a few weeks, and my class would sometimes call me "the pinball wizard". I wonder if I'm still as good at pinball.

[@WolfieXp]

Wonder if that Fist Attack is done charging... (I'm so gonna write that down and say that about 5 years from now)

[@Sorenra]

I actually really like this game. The grudgy appearance of the levels are pretty darn interesting. I had hoped we'd get Sonic levels using these visuals in some way. To note, the characters in the bonus are Sally, Bunnie, Rotor, Tails, Wocky, Flicky and... Muttski for some reason.

[@Ayo_Mir]

I like sonic's expressions. When he is in a barrel, he holds his nose, making him a much more likable character

[@theshredder39]

I only beat Toxic Caves as a kid but then when I got older and went back to play it I managed to beat the game, the trick is to work with the D-pad.

[@LeeFox1337]

so played this in a colletion for PS2 still never forgot the music which is awsome

[@JohnDoe-dw6mm]

MY EARSSSSS

[@WhensMahvel]

Glad the Terry Bogard reference was made. And I'm not the only one who thought that when it would show up.

[@Arcarai]

I loved playing this game. I sucked major ass at it, but I loved playing it.

[@NewZen41]

I remember this game from the Mega Collection....I also remember never playing it again after the first level...-_-

[@DrummerFromFife]

My first Sonic game was Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Master System

[@metalonline123]

I'm guessing that John had no need to edit that bit out 'cause he really didn't have trouble getting back to the boss room.

[@Ayo_Mir]

I came really close to beating this game when I was younger, but I just couldn't do it....

[@KurenaiHideyoshi]

Wanna know something funny? Back in my childhood, I thought the intro was a demo reel for some kind of bonus stage. And I tried finding it, only to be thwarted by the caves, again and again.

[@MegaBoris1994]

nice, was waiting for a playthrough of this

[@SolarisParadox]

The trick to Sonic Spinball is to NOT play it like a standard pinball game. Instead, try to catch and hold Sonic with the flippers and then launch him precisely while he's slowly rolling down the length of the flipper. It takes some getting used to, but once you do it becomes pretty easy to get him where you need him to go.

[@BaconMinion]

I owned this game as a kid. The mental damage never went away.

[@unova1995]

Wasn't there an episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog that was based off this?

[@dinojack9000]

John's "rising jackpotu" had me loling for a while there XD

[@MystycCheez]

"This is where we edit." Oh really? I love this game. :D One of the few who do.

[@ThePrayingMantis08]

tbh this game scared me when i was young -_-

[@GoldKnightProduction]

I got an old spice commercial when the video was over. :D Today is a good day.

[@TailsPrower100]

I have this game on my Genesis and I've never made it past the first level.

[@543resident4]

This is one of those games that it feels like a chore to play.

[@WolfieXp]

Its like Sonic 06, You cant get him to go where you need him to go, except there is no trick to get him to obey, and its impossible to get used to :3

[@crystalqueen9711]

Guess it's a good thing Scott the Woz doesn't watch SGB, he'd be horrified to realize Sonic Spinball exists

[@Pablo.FloresMX]

god this game it took me forever i had lost of spare time at the time took me like 5 hours in total

[@321pietime]

miss playing this game T~T

[@ElAullidoDeLaNada]

I think this game was too much chaotix. I never knew what the hell to do to pass the first level.

[@homuraakemi103]

And this is the one Sonic port on iOS that ol' Whitehead isn't bothering to update...

[@MrCJHardcore]

I had no clue who the hell Bunny Rabot or Roder were until the Nostalgia Critic review. I already knew who Sally May was though.

[@MegaSonicX6]

I like how freed the SatAM characters first

[@manicdrive85]

Sonic 2 was the first sonic game i played, loved it, and sonic spinball was the first game i owned i got it with a Genesis and eternal champions And another game or two, ahhh memories

[@schoolroy]

OH guys on the port for gamecube because i noticed that pause menu

[@No0neat]

Because he tought he would take forever to get back up there but in actuality he did not so hence why he did not edited that.

[@dr.velious5411]

Apparently The guy Who Composed The Lava Powerhouse Music Went On To Become Co-Chairman Of The Board Of Music In Schools I Think

[@HubPie3]

The last time I played Spinball, it took me a half hour to beat Toxic Caves. Lady Luck really wasn't on my side. :/

[@unova1995]

I know the SATam series by heart, so I remember that episode.

[@Tjoeb123]

Why'd you go back to the Title Screen?

[@IceKiller159]

i just finished watching the other playthrough

[@jcz_m]

I'm oddly happy about that, actually.

[@ubermaster1]

Matt is doing it, but on the SNES, he likes the music quality on the SNES better.

[@egocentricblack3278]

Toxic caves a banger bro.

[@unova1995]

So this is on the Sonic Mega Collection.

[@jonathandixon2896]

I do love how the game asks 'How about a ride?'. They knew... THEY FUCKING KNEW! (Roller Coaster fans will know what I mean)

[@CabooseMiller101]

The first level has one of my favorite Sonic tracks in the whole series.

[@matthewcasiglio2539]

The last level has 1 of my favorite Sonic tracks in the whole series

[@Laenthor]

Why are all emerslds blue?

[@kibakarina13]

Funny how people say Sally Is not part of the Sonic Team but yet here she is Lawl

[@JRDev4All]

i play this game quite a bit

[@irishONgaming]

the hd version? he already did

[@unova1995]

CD's on the gems collection.

[@SSJ2gohan112]

It is a term referred to players who don't play "hardcore" games of course i'm not sure what is the criteria for a game to be hardcore so yea i'm gunna call myself a casual

[@Indigo1Black]

That was strike three at the near end of the boss! I do not think people want to be around you with kids!

[@ComixBlade]

Sonic spinball:The game that trolls you

[@SDK2K9]

First Sonic game I owned was Sonic The hedgehog 2

[@JumpNShootSH]

"Out of all the spin-offs, this one was probably the most well received." Hahahahahaha. NO.

[@jupiter7096]

The options theme is actually my favorite song in the game... Does that mean I'm broken?

[@YTWgamer]

Anyone Else think the robotbik thing getting hit sounds like Mother Brain in Super Metroid?

[@animefanatic1984]

I've only completed this game 1 time without even using the level skip code

[@dalefang9]

first sonic game i owned was... Sonic mega collection. Now first sonic game i owned on the GENESIS... Sonic 1, Sonic 2, and Sonic Spinball.

[@yezboverbaked]

this is the first time i saw the boss

[@dumlink23]

8:45 johnny and game:aaaaaahhh!

[@TheEclipto21]

23 seconds of gameplay before the first glitch. Wow.

[@tonyastrickland225]

Sega! I wish to hear it's return in Sonic games.

[@MASOFENT]

I beat this game so many times, and i love it :)

[@looney18]

Johnny: here is where we edit.... Me: *Waits for editing* 1min later... Johnny: And we are back! Me: Y'all never left.

[@Jesterclown17]

Random puppy dog, my personal favorite freedom fighter.... I know monkey is a fan favorite, but whatever.

[@Realcoolblue]

A hardcore gamer is usually someone who would spend HOURS to beat. By that I mean when a hardcore gamer plays a video game (or games), they would be playing for hours.

[@ChevySamk]

Man, I have the game gear version, and by that I mean I have the Sonic Adventure DX mini game.

[@TheSuperRetroGaming]

If you thought this game was bad, play Dr Robotnik Mean Bean Machine. ON GAMEGEAR!

[@BeatScrafty2]

And the editing was where?

[@Supersonic415]

that was a part

[@protoman9756]

Maybe he'll do Generations when it's old enough to be a classic Sonic game, like Sonic 4 Episode 3 XD

[@MetalMan62398]

This game is pretty fun.

[@Dragonpit]

*Twenty seconds in* Me: What!? Game over already!?

[@richardkilledkenny2]

*Realizes Johnny is stalking the comments* Well I have you, when are you reviewing Sonic Generations 3DS? Been waiting on that for a bit xD

[@kibakarina13]

okay your right but SEGA did release this game under there name So I think Sally is part of SEGA team

[@amp12398]

i use to have this game.

[@jamesXmodz]

Does....Why.....Story?

[@Thebigcmaverick]

I never got past The Machine Stage that's it. My first game was Sonic 2, and find Dr. Robotnik Mean Bean Machine a better spin off than SpinBall!

[@Samsapopin]

Is the "Monkey" line a Final Fantasy X-II reference?

[@BeeThompson]

@Mrcrazygamer13 Be sure to "CHECK OUT THE CONSOLES" for me.

[@sandy34740]

I could never get past the first level in this game.

[@animefanatic1984]

I've had that happen the same glitch happen to me at 1:07 - 1:11

[@Xiao2070]

This was posted on my 18th birthday! :D
