Sonic and the Secret Rings | Game Grumps Compilations

[@somerandolad]

"Sonic is the best game series that ever crossed the humanity." That's an action packed sentence right there.

[@MapleisCrack]

You know what, I'm inclined to agree.

[@kylehurlburt6114]

Sanic.

[@acediaethos4469]

no no, it was: "sanic is the best game series that ever did cross the humanity."

[@lovemeimdesperate]

@@acediaethos4469 google subtitles say "san oak" which is how i will be pronouncing his name from now on

[@koh123453]

22:10 Arin: “Saying this game is flawed, is like saying dying in a fire was temperate” This line: Chefs kiss

[@emeraldemuto]

Ah yes, the game that gave us so many comedic moments, yet was never finished. In other words, a game the game grumps played.

[@estebancontreras8184]

Still waiting on them to finish Cuphead and Hollow Knight 😂

[@notsure1969]

​@@estebancontreras8184 Don't hold your breath.

[@Retroactive_R]

With how bad the controls are, I'm not surprised nor can I blame them.

[@pixelbomb97]

Well this one is specifically not enjoyable to finish at all. Like most sonic games are fun bad and cool to look at, Secret Rings is unbelievably dull for the whole 10 fucking hours it takes to beat.

[@GamingYes]

I thought they didn't finish generations, but they did 😅😂 they need to stop making this a habit lol

[@MissBuyNLarge]

"the direct midpoint between Thanos and Fred Durst" that line and the "Infinity gauntlets up, Infinity gauntlets down" right after get me every time

[@DanGamingFan2406]

This game may not be the best in the _Sonic_ franchise, but the Game Grumps always know how to make even the worst games so much more enjoyable and hilarious. Seriously, Dan calling the Erazor Djinn "the exact midpoint between Thanos and Fred Durst", is priceless. How do they come up with this stuff?

[@kantackistan]

Frankly, the worse the Sonic game is, the better the Grump episodes will be. To the point where I now constantly WANT them to release awful ones knowing there will be some hysterical grumpy comedy in the future. (And I'm happy to report that both the Grumps and Sonic team keep delivering!)

[@ferociousfeind8538]

​@@kantackistan and on the flipside, them playing Frontiers may result in a not-stellar series, like how the Sonic Colors series was kind of unmemorable...

[@TheBabaloga]

Oh weird, it looks like it's the subtitles from yesterday's Sonic: Frontiers episode.

[@ButtersDClown]

@@ShaneyCrotty same bro. I almost couldn't pay attention to dan and arin

[@mossysnail6857]

WHAT THE HELL HAHHA

[@eoghbass2886]

I hope Dan eventually listens to Steve Conte outside of the context of this Sonic game. His work with Yoko Kanno is tremendous. Rain, stray, Heaven's Not Enough, Call Me Call Me, No Reply, and Living in the Shell are all bangers.

[@5Mayday5]

Yeah although I love his work from this game very much

[@Lucifersfursona]

Shit that man sang my childhood

[@apullcan]

I mean, Dan's a vocal fan of Cowboy Bebop so I'm sure he's heard some of these songs.

[@alantremonti1381]

"Put me back in the kiln." Always a classic.

[@reagansido5823]

32:14 The sarcasm in his voice is sooo delicious. "Good job, 'video game boy'."

[@LeoDBW]

Give off the same vibes as "Wouldn't you like to know, Weather boy?"

[@darkreyule]

1:15 Dan's "the direct mid-point between Thanos and Fred Durst" is comedy gold!

[@simethigsomethingidfk]

Oh god I played this game when I was something like 8. I had no clue what sonic game it was because I couldnt find anything about a desert sonic game. I only remember being stuck and eventually giving up in some multi level temple with stairs around it or something. This is already unlocking repressed memories

[@jonathanpilcher337]

Literally my exact same memory of this game too. I think it was either my first or second sonic game

[@_Banjo_]

i love dan's "WOAHHHHHHHH , lets freaking go" and stuff like that, its not convincign at all - which makes it hilarious

[@gingawizard183]

I got excited I thought they were finally going back to finish this lol

[@thatsprettylane]

Same.

[@haydensheldrake9337]

[@Cvillain626]

54:15 I love that Dan did this again in Frontiers xD

[@maggie7055]

I remember when this first came out and they were reading out positive reviews for this game and wondering why they were so glowing... i wanted to jump through the screen and say “this was from 2007.... what do we recall came out in ‘06?” 😂

[@SD_Koy]

The captions are going NUTS dude. For a brief moment I thought someone had wrote wrong captions as a gag but now I just think they are just artificially wrong or something.

[@TheSage435]

Yeah I couldn't stop reading em, they read like the captions to the audio from the Frontiers video from yesterday.

[@mslabo102s2]

It looks like the one for a Frontiers episode

[@spacegeneral8630]

"Kirk O'Bann"

[@VoidPhantom0917]

Steve Conte does make a lot of butt rock but I still love him, he made some of the most memorable OST's for me. Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, Ghost In The Shell, and yes... Sonic lol

[@hinasakukimi]

oh my god this was steve conte? that's fucking wild, i love him too 😆😆

[@ExploDjinn]

Despite it getting overused, I really do like Seven Rings in Hand. And that's about the only nice thing I can say about this game. Would be pretty swell if Dan did do a cover.

[@NotACheese]

I’m so glad there’s more structure to the video titles now 🙏

[@ZeldonPlays]

So Arin..... you're gonna be finishing this amazing game, right? And if you do... CUSTOMIZE YOUR SKILL RING!! PLEASE

[@MaxMarriner]

I’m so used to these compilations being like 6 hours long so it’s weird to see one that doesn’t even hit 2

[@MackCasual]

I hope this all leads up to an amazing sonic tier list

[@soleraprincessgongjunim3320]

I remember playing this game as a kid, and man, if people thought other sonic games' controls were ridiculous, well. *this game*

[@AV524]

Y'all, those CC captions are for the last Sonic Frontiers episodes. I was freaking out for a second because I switched mid-video to a device that had CC on for KZbin and was reading a conversation about how hedgehogs weren't considered rodents lmao

[@JustinKeithD]

The bit about them conning sonic out of fifty dollars fucking killed me. I love how they have the wherewithal to contribute to a bit when they don't even know where it's going.

[@JPBrooksLive]

I really really hope they go back to this one. It's so visually awesome and a freaking train wreck to play

[@michaelberry9576]

1:00:22 One of the funniest moments on game grumps

[@_underscore_9271]

1:01:01 I think "go dry up" has got to be my favorite thing from this video

[@Voreten]

And Arin still never realized that you have to press Custom on the skill rings to equip abilities. 😂

[@bradoliver9324]

Would it ever have mattered? The game still handles like assy badness.

[@goofyghoul]

ignorance truly is bliss, I wish I didnt know this about the playthrough lmaoo The One Who Games strikes again

[@Plaguelight]

@@bradoliver9324 Yes, but only to anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together when it comes to actual gameplay. We know Arin plays these to get upset and make the funny for the viewers, and not to play the games as they are intended.

13:52 Dan out here rocking the white friend "hooray!" before the meme even became a thing lol

[@dotfoxtom5942]

If Arin doesn't say "UNAVOIDABLE DJINN MOVE!!!!" at some point during this game I am going to be very disappointed.

[@Buphido]

Oh god, his description of how the jump works reminds me of our microwave. It only registers a button press upon letting go, and only if you pressed it for like half a second before you let go, which is so ass backwards! I keep telling my mum how fucked it is but she doesn't seem to notice lol.

[@FandralStar]

"Saying this game was flawed is like saying 'dying in a fire is temperate'" is a beautiful analogy

[@monochrome_sea]

Thank you Dan for the Frou Frou reference at 25:48 I was convinced no one else had actually listened to that song and maybe I imagined it

[@AJR2k]

Be glad you didn't gone further,It gets much harder. And i faced Erazor Djinn. But those damn secret rings! Btw great trip back to the past guys!

[@thedubiousbard9370]

I listened to this while cleaning out my desk and found Sonic and the Secret Rings fan art I made when I was like 8. You two have brought this back into my life

[@YKVasilisk]

41 minutes for the tutorial! Man I'm dying xD I love you guys

[@Mitsoxfan]

The game pace is as slow as Sonic. Just watching him walk quickly is painful.

[@stevedinosaur]

Thank you for labeling the compilation! I thought for a second we were playing two sonic games at once lol

[@rocktricksp1159]

This game is genuinely horrible and unplayable. I had it as a kid and hated it and I just replayed it at 26 and it’s GOD AWFUL. Easily the worst game I’ve ever played

[@cyberspacecat]

How did I miss that this whole playthrough existed? Oh well, this compilation is perfect then

[@Azuredock7912]

This was my second Sonic game so I can’t help but love it. It’s so nostalgic to me and personally, I love the music in this game

[@tyfleming92]

Dan quoting "Let Go" by Frou Frou just made my day. 🎵

[@vigorouslethargy]

"The exact mid point between Thanos and Fred Durst." God, Danny was on FIRE that day.

" I can;t even be silly-mad in this" - Arin

I think Dan saying Die Hard 4 is unneeded is the most critical I've ever heard him be of a movie

[@oofta.gaming]

It's funny how kids still love sonic ... 30 years later 😅

[@broadwaygamer3425]

It’s great that this can be shared with young and old alike. A generational bonding kind of thing.

[@Zajice]

I'm one of those insane people that has watched literally every episode of Game Grumps ever put out, and yet somehow my brain completely eliminated them ever playing this from my memory.

[@FuzzyStripetail]

I don't know about anyone else, but I frequently use the Erazor Djinn to shave the secret rings from my special area.

[@KitChesh]

Arin's experience and pain mirrors my own experience with this game.

[@jakesully3666]

Sonic and the secret rings was almost my first sonic game. It was my birthday and my dad took me to GameStop so I could pick out whatever game I wanted. I grabbed Sonic and the Secret Rings off the shelf when my dad asked “Are you sure that’s what you want?” Thanks to my dads intervention, I decided I didn’t actually want that game and I returned it so I could get Sonic and the Black Knight instead

[@cybersonic8472]

This was so great to go back and watch, definitely should go back after he enjoys Frontiers to rekindle the rage

[@wherefancytakesme]

25:04 Arin: This game sucks. Sonic: I'll make you eat those words! Also, 25:16 "Sounds like _you're_ getting tilted." ...at the towers? (sorry)

He mentions SOAPs sonic shoes in almost every 3d sonic play through. Especially if the game has rail grinding in it.

I'm 25% sure Arin hates Sonic, 25% sure he loves Sonic and 50% sure it doesn't matter because it's hilarious.

[@hunterhuang2500]

They should make a "defenestration compilation", simply because that title is the perfect clickbait. For those of you who don't know, it would be a compilation of whenever one threatens to throw the other out of a window.

[@crtscream]

Honestly though, I was so hesitant to watch them play this, because this game was one of my favourites as a kid. At the time when I only had a Wii and Sonic 06 had just come out and I really wanted that one, this was the one I got instead, and I really loved the style and music and design... I hope they do a remaster 😅

[@Seeker_of_Truth_and_Beauty]

Honestly, if they fixed the janky controls (I never really had a problem with them, even as a kid, but a lot of people did, so there's definitely *something* that needs fixing,) and put both it and Black Knight on the Switch, I think the reception around these games would improve, and very little would make me happier, as someone who loves this game a lot in particular. Then again, seeing what happened to the Colors remaster, I don't think I want them to try it.

[@crtscream]

@@Seeker_of_Truth_and_Beauty I was the same! I got used to the controls pretty quick, I don't remember them giving me much trouble (even going absolutely insane with waggling during boss fights 😂). I would definitely play a Storybook collection remaster on Switch! As for Colours, I never played the original, but I didn't find the Switch version disagreeable at all!

[@TechnicSix39]

“Make a game where you can’t do anything and you have to unlock going left or something” Arin has never heard of Johnny Upgrade I see
