Rather than being cliche with cryptic text, you can sense Sonic's pain as he monologues about how he got to his current situation. The best part, however, is the combination of the animation (even if it is looped for most of the video), and the feeling of sheer rage and frustration during the final stretch, complete with the up pose and the shaking red text. It's not trying to be creepy, it's trying to be depressing, and it solidly delivers.

[@Mr.Needle-Hamster]

The somber tone is what sold it for me. It's just sad and creepy all at the same time.

[@ChaoticYetFun]

That part near the end really shows his continued determination, yet desperation.

[@ghosttamelia]

[@zerumsiru5204]

As someone who nearly drowned once, there's two distinct sensations that I feel when watching this. The burning of my eyes, as if salt or chlorine got into them due to the water, and a hard, heavy, but painful sensation against my lungs. I don't know how something like that can cause that sensation, because I got over that years ago and learned how to swim after the fact, but this somehow brings that back. Excellently done for the unsettling nature of this, as it's simple, but effective. Just makes you feel bad for the character.

So this actually happened once while my cousins were playing push war on our shoulders and my team failed so i fell underneath the water, it was all fun at first and i thought my cousin was getting off my shoulders, but she remained on them after 3 seconds. I still remember that adrenaline rush i had when my air ran low…i did everything to try and get her off, tap her leg, reach above the water and wave, god i even tried to bite her, but all was in vain until i remembered the stairs we had, and in a blurry haze and my lungs were about to give out, i pushed myself towards the stairs and made the hard trek toward the top under my cousins weight…im happy that im still alive to tell this tale.

Random depressing fact: this happened during Sonic 1. Tails doesn’t know Sink exists, and probably never will. He becomes a hero to follow in Sonic’s footsteps, so without him he will forever be Westside Island’s punching bag. There is literally nobody to save Sink except the badniks of the Labyrinth, and hell if they’re doing that. He’s stuck until he either teaches himself the spindash or if some miracle happens and the chain breaks somehow. Eggman will succeed in taking over all of Mobius and Little Planet because there would be nobody to stop him.

I can't help but want to hear the story of what happens when he does finally get free. I'm curious how any author would portray his reckless display of agonizing determination and his inevitable trauma from this event. Would he even be able to take a bath? would he even be able to drink anything? Would Sonic's friends even still be alive? If they were how would the react to sonic becoming a traumatized mess combine with some immortality-based determination? What if everyone was dead and Eggman had already robotized himself as an overlord? Maybe sonic could find a way to return to the past (since I remember one of the games involved time travel.) but despite whatever the story could be, it clearly would be a painful journey. The kind of journey/story that I enjoy most. So, I really hope someone makes a after story of what happens when sink finally does escape this hellhole... and how the hellhole he was stuck in would follow him throughout his journey.

That's why I love this animation. It drags on for an agonizing 5 minutes, and even causes the viewer to have sympathy for sonic, as he recounts how a fatal mistake cost him his eternal freedom, as he slowly floats in the murky depths, wasting away for eternity, awaiting his next eventual death, or for someone, anyone, to come to his aid, and free him from his waterlogged prison under the thrashing waters of labyrinth zone. Then, just when you think this was all just an unsettling video and nothing more, the video then decides to triple the pace of your heart, and as the good ol' reliable PTSD hits in when the drowning sound plays, in the last few seconds of the video, we are forced to watch sonic thrash around, screaming about his hunger for his freedom, and as the video fades out, sonic goes limp, and dies again, only to awaken again, to relive his torture all over again, for the rest of eternity. To be honest, I'm surprised how we got this on VHS tape.

I think there is i seen like a clip of it and I’ve been trying to find it for a while now but basically what happens is that tails comes down with his scuba gear and cuts the chain off sonic and brings him back up and stuff like that

[@ariqatoo]

I can't help but theorize, now that you mentioned "what would happen once he's free" in this video. Say he does get free somehow. He even manages to get to the surface. The reason he's alive is because of his determination to his promise, right? I'd assume Eggman has LONG since overtaken South Island or something along those lines. What would happen if Sink saw the damage? Would the promise be broken, which results in his ACTUAL death? It was the only thing keeping him going, so to see that he won't be able to uphold it; it'd surely just result in him giving up, right?

[@Xavier-cv2vw]

well...i feel like IF he does get out, his way of seeing things would lead to first a surge of sadness and a huge loss of determination at first, wich would set the fact that, if he does lose his determination, he will die again and perhaps permanantly, but then his determination spikes as he promise himself not to die until everything is back the way they once were.

[@ricardobr1493]

He'll probably have even more determination to save everyone

[@ariqatoo]

I can see what you two mean. He'd just be more determined to save everything. Which makes me wonder, once he DOES save everything, you think that he'd see the job's done, and just finally let go?

[@Xavier-cv2vw]

@@ariqatoo Oh definitly He would die only once the job is done. What im torn with is if he could come back if it was ever needed, or its just the end

If you look correctly you can see that sink has his left leg free so if he uses the weight and gets himself to the ground he can jump with his left leg and if he finds something to latch onto he can use his right leg to constantly slam the spike chain and eventualy breaking it since it can rust and then he can swim upwards.

There is three ways this can play out. 1.Sonic is saved and set free. 2.Sonic finally looses his determination too keep him living, he doesn't care anymore and he drowns for one final time. This is most unlikely because he seems like he has infinite determination to free himself from the chain and will never give up. 3.Sonic stays determined but never gets saved.

[@clamdeity]

everyone's mentioning that the chain will eventually rust, but like, • sonic reaching up means he's somewhat healed when respawning • infinite respawns = infinite time and infinite hedgehogs • infinite time and hedgehogs = enough time and hedgehogs to break the chain and dig a way out before writing the full works of shakespeare on infinite typewriters

The best ending: Sonic was freed of his watery prison by a two tailed fox he never met before and he helps him escape Labyrinth Zone. Keep in mind that I know Tails would be on Westside Island but, given the circumstances he would probably use his intelligence to stop Robotnik but, once he made his way in Labyrinth Zone, he saw a body in the shape of hedgehog begging to escape this watery hell.

I remember doing a roleplay with my friend where Amy does a tarot card reading like in canon, only this time it tells her that her true love is stuck somewhere dark and wet. So she searches all the watery zones until she finds Sink, and smashes the chain with her hammer before bringing him up to the surface. I like to think that's what happened ❤

Tutorial how to save sink 1. break the time barrier 2. find the universe selection screen in the omniverse (descriptions of each universe are listed below the names) 3. click the one that says "contains the famous soni-- i mean sink" 4. you will go unconscious for 3-4 minutes 5. wake up 6. locate labyrinth zone 7. locate the trench they're stuck in 8. bring a razor blade or something idk 9. find a submarine 10. find sink almost done 11. take a oxygen tank and swimming equipment 12. cut the chain with the razor blade 13. put sink in the submarine (they wont try to get away from you since they don't know how to swim 14. go back to the suface 15. teach them how to breathe, talk, eat, drink, walk, sit, etc. (Kitten Oreo is not responsible of a feeling of Existentialism whilst seeing all the universes we could've been in)

[@keyofheartsheartwings6664]

In Sonic, when he loses a life, everything he beats before a checkpoint respawns or has gone back to its previous state right? Assuming the chain ball was already in that position before he was caught, this means every time he drowns again, the state of the chain is reset to normal. It never actually rusts enough cause the world resets things back to its state before Sonic died. Sonic is dying infinitely but in the exact same way. He’s stuck in a time loop along with everyone else since he isn’t continuing his adventure to set off the rest of Sonic 1’s events.

[@TheLOREmasteRG]

If we used that logic, then sonic would restart at a save point. And if he died too many times, he’d have to restart at green hill zone. When you lost all your lives in the old classic games you’d have to restart the whole game.

[@treemeatthealmighty]

@@TheLOREmasteRG or this pit he's trapped in is a separate act/zone from labyrinth

[@MarcyTheKindaCoolWizard]

​@treemeatthealmighty Or perhaps its "out of bounds" and thus he can't respawn right back

[@YousefAli-ui2wm]

You know what doesn't make any sense? Usually, in Sonic games, when you lose all your lives or just lose a life, you restart at the very beginning of the zone itself but in this AU, Sonic, when he dies, doesn't restart at the very beginning of the zone (which would be an ABSOLUTE miracle), instead, he stays in the same spot of the aquatic hell he's been stuck to for years, how?

[@Dogewithlightsaber]

@@MarcyTheKindaCoolWizard maybe he fell into a void pit, the spike ball could've hit the floor when it collapsed. Then it took him to where the ground was placed, somehow bypassing the death part.

Everyday feels like a loop I don't know what to do and I just want things to get better for me.

[@killrwolf-wq6xm]

It's kinda more depressing when you realise that there's no good ending for sonic in this situation Only 3 bad endings 1: Let himself die to end his suffering, which he wont do 2: wait till somehow he gets free, either by waiting for the chain to rust so he can break it (which even rusted metal is still very hard to break and would take a long time) or wait till someone to come save him, which he's in a labyrinth so someone finding that place would be rare, so sonic is stuck drowning for potentially years Or 3: somehow cut his own leg off, either by using the spikes on the ball or his own finger nails which would be agonising as hell, and after he removed his leg, he'll lose the 1 thing he loves doing the most, running (he'll most likely fall into a very deep depression) So he could either Die Drown painfully for years Or lose the thing he loves most No happy endings for sonic

[@MeemFolder]

Another thing about the second ending : even if he did manage to get out of the water, he'd probably die mere minutes upon escaping the water, since his lungs are filled with water, and he'd probably be deaf due to the water reaching his ears

The thing that's even scarier in this is that since the chain ball and sink is underwater,the chain in the sink actually will rust but will just take a long time apparently (thanks to grabriela chonjnowska for correcting me) plus wherever sonic is,the water pressure there seems really high and Sonics blood cannot match that pressure so he'll suffer a lot. And also,if you think about it,all the water has prob gotten into Sonics ear drums and most likely skull since all the water has entered through his ears
