If you want to make it worse, assuming Sonic's metabolism is insanely fast due to his running, there's a very good chance his body digests the alcohol too fast, leaving him unable to get drunk... so despite trying so hard to wash the pain away, he simply cannot

[@OdaKa]

Are you sure that's not just the Distortion of the bits of audio data being stretched and losing information so when you speed it back up it still has those holes in its data not filled in because they were lost during the stretching process

[@OdaKa]

@@justaguywithagoodphoto4801 what I described has nothing to do with soundfonts though. It's a byproduct of digitally altering the speed of a digital audio recording

[@TornaitSuperBird]

@@OdaKa No, I'm sure it's the soundfont. Some DS soundfonts tend to have sounds that don't have sustain values. After listening to it again, sounds like he chopped up the original recording and rearranged everything in half time. The vocals are what really tipped me off, as they would have clearly sounded stretched and full of digital artefacting. Instead they sound chopped, because they are. The aural fidelity is consistent with the use of the original soundfont, save for the samples, which would be the same speed as the original if they weren't chopped. I don't hear many artefacts from the rest of the instruments, if any.
