Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Easter Eggs and References

[@crimsonstorm6087]

The reference about the Babylonians is absolutely interesting. The fact that the Owls maybe Babylonians henc Owls are types of birds is so crazy and about the language!!

[@rebelheart4456]

I wonder if that would mean the actual Babylon Rogues wouldn't really exist as we know them in the sonic movie universe (not that I think Sonic 4 is gonna be the equivalent of Sonic Riders)

[@mario_undertale_dude_135]

Here’s something you missed. In the skateboarding part of the credits if you look very closely at the floor you will see that it’s using Hydrocity tiles

[@healbottree3550]

No you mean Hydro City Right

[@Ballerthebear]

It’s spelled Hydrocity but pronounced “Hydro city”

[@Frostyfella]

​@@Ballerthebearfacts.

[@BDSFormula1]

You mean Aqua Town, right? /j

[@acedelta12]

@@Ballerthebear I've seen it spelled both ways, but I prefer Hydro City.

[@Manthis]

6:30 I'm glad you caught this one, I feel like I'm the only person that noticed how his translations were inaccurate just like in Sonic Colors

[@flerpybird9175]

11:36 This reference actually goes even deeper. SA-2 could also stand for Sigma-Alpha 2, which is the helicopter that Sonic escapes from at the start of Sonic Adventure 2.

[@Squorzel]

Oh damn, you’re right. A double reference

[@ace5451]

There's more to the chopper. The numbers on the tail represent SA2's release date, June 19th, 2001. Yet, I don't know about the code on the body...

[@Squorzel]

@@ace5451 i tried checking, no clue honestly. Maybe it's nothing, or it's pieces of different archie/idw comics

[@FlavoredSocks]

Sonic predicted brainrot

[@elvenbuttress]

If we’re using military phonetics, it would be Sierra-Alpha-2.

[@SnowyTasha]

You missed how Knuckles at the end asks if ice cream has grapes in it, which is a reference to a game manual bio for Knuckles that lists grapes as his favorite food. Otherwise, great video, and I didn't notice a few of these when I watched it the first time.

[@salliemagnaye1403]

That seems a bit random though…

[@Jako_Trades]

Another detail that I enjoy is that they waited to use Super Sonic until the second movie, because Super Sonic didn’t exist in the games until Sonic 2.

[@kylesmyle4233]

I also noticed that after the classic Robotnik costume, there's a Megamind reference. The costume is called "Redmambanik" in reference to Megaminds outfit, The Black Mamba.

[@ijionclifton9148]

Yea that's not a reference it just happen to align

[@brohambbg]

@@ijionclifton9148 Idk, a bald supervillain with a theme of being super intelligent with drones and a goofy sidekick? And now all of the sudden they both have outfits named after a specific snake? Sounds like a reference to me.

[@joewilliams-un8vu]

10:53 I noticed this on my third watch and it was such a tiny detail but I absolutely loved it.

[@necrodamus5481]

The amount of love that went into this film is phenomenal

[@AbilkayirAmanbek-x9f]

11:37 Sa-2 stands for Sigma Alpha 2. Helicopter that carried Sonic in Sonic adventure 2.

[@joewilliams-un8vu]

7:54 In Sonic 3, Flying battery would have been before Ice Cap and after Carnival Night which sounds strange if you have played the original order a lot however, it doesn’t make a lot of sense how a canon would shoot you to the top of a snowy mountain and also it is nighttime in Carnival Night but daytime in Ice Cap so you’re telling me Sonic was in the air for like 10 hours? Having Flying Battery between the two solves this and also Sonic was originally intended to use a door he broke off from Flying Battery to snowboard down Ice Cap zone. That could be what the broken robot is referencing.

[@pangamm516]

Another easter egg was missed. At the end of the final fight where sonic transforms he finishes Eggman with a light tap with his toe this is the same action he does to one of the robots in the opening cutscene in Sonic 06

[@DonatelloKavehrsace]

I KNEW THAT IT FELT FAMILIAR

[@KevinTheFluffyWolfy]

You did a really good job nailing the Easter Eggs here! Also, at 11:46, that isn’t Knuckles, it’s a Sonic Plush.

[@sonicdaily_0881]

Kinda late but if you notice, on the walls near the entrance Knuckles made, there's a figure resembling Perfect Chaos

[@guaxinimminixuang1279]

FINALLY! Someone noticed this on that video

[@joeosnato7200]

There's one reference from Sonic the Comic where Sonic is "no longer the hedgehog we once knew" as Super Sonic.

[@Jesse_69420]

Or as many people call him, Fleetway Sonic (I use that name to avoid confusion)

[@BMasterAnimation]

Oh! You missed one during the dance. The tails clones are from Sonic Boom in an episode where Tails clones himself to be smarter but became dumber.

[@liambiniares3182]

I did notice that. I thought about including it, but it felt more like something general to the story and less of a direct reference.

[@BMasterAnimation]

@@liambiniares3182 but Sonic Boom had Colleen voicing Tails in that world.

[@xBlaster]

The SA-2 helicopter is a double reference as the one where sonic jumps from at the beginning of the Hero story is also called Sigma Alfa 2 The Chaos Sport drinks at the end are a reference to the Chaos Soda brand from SA2, which is a joke reference to Chaos from SA1.

12:13 *HEDGEH000000000000000000G!*

[@Handlesareawful2008]

2:36 That is a song recorded by black metal band Darkthrone. It was never released, so nobody knows how it got to the public.

[@doomguy196]

Also during the super sonic fight scene, when sonic taps his foot on eggmans death egg robot, thats a reference to the opening of Sonic 06 when he does the same thing in base form to a normal robot

[@LemontLMontyJohnson]

11:50 it is moreover leaning towards Giant Eggman Robo than The Death Egg Robot seeing as it had Master Emerald abilities and is much larger in size.

[@galacticgila219]

3:01 Bonus fun fact! The same line is also referenced in OK KO: Lets Meet Sonic! Where Sonics also voiced by Ben! It caught me off guard when I was rewatching the show last month Me and my stupid fingers

[@Jbomb663]

The show is there right after tho lol

[@GoGojiraGo]

I love how the Death Egg Robot is a triple reference. -its design is mostly the Sonic 2 DER -its size is the Titanic Monarch from Mania or the mass-produced DERs from Forces -it's powered by the Master Emerald like the Great Eggman Robo from S3&K

[@uttsu1537]

It's also a reference to one of Robitnik giant robots he made in Sonic X ! It was also powered by the 7 emeralds, and sonic defeated it by becoming super sonic

[@JustEm22]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the mohawk Sonic sports near the beginning of the film, which was a big part of sonic's classic design in america

[@sonickchri]

12:25 Where is this reference from?? I see that and I am only reminded of Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie (the original 1996 OVA first part) where Sonic rides the rocket back to crash into "Metal Robotnik".

[@DarkXWolf17_MD]

This is an old Sonic fan film staring JW(Cartoon Sonic/Erkle), James Rolfe(AVGN), and The Nostalgia Critic.

[@TheRuggedEchinda]

I smile every time someone references Johnny.

[@cosmicNobody]

this might be a stretch but there might be a fleetway super sonic reference at the end after sonic defeats eggman where knuckles says "Sonic holds the power of the chaos emeralds and isn't the sonic you knew." since fleetway is sonic corrupted by the emeralds.

[@Opdudall]

Ah yes, motobugs would be perfect for a chase down the mountains of Siberia

[@SBaby]

1:45 - Ok, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Don't get me wrong. I'd love to see those three too, but let's take things one step at a time.

[@noahjohnson6920]

you missed a couple "Uh, excuse me? We did not order a poltergeist." - Sonic "AND YOUR LITTLE DOG, TOO!" - Dr. Robotnik

[@alptugraakan7490]

"Rraaaagh!" -Sonic

[@SuperMasterJefe]

You also missed when Sonic taps the eggman robot with his foot thats a reference to the 06 cgi story intro

[@gantzgun74]

The moment at 12:25 is actually a twofold reference (though I'll admit, I don't know what you referenced there.). Sonic riding a missile back into the face of an Eggman mech is also taken from the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA, heck the reference is even more fitting since Sonic was fighting a giant "Metal Robotnik" in the film when the moment occurs.

[@SpongeBob-Me-Boy-Make-A-Patty]

Also, for the snow boarding one, sonic using the piece of a badnik may be a reference to the sonic 3 prototype. Before sonic 3 and sonic and knuckles were separate games, they were all one game. In the level select for sonic 3, you can see that flying battery was the level before ice cap. Sonic was originally supposed to use the door he kicked down at the end of flying battery as a snow board.

[@airconditionedBreeze]

I don't know if this is mentioned in the video, but when Eggman shows up in the Mean Bean coffee shop and changes to the scene right outside, there's a helicopter that the major characters (I forgot their names, but Donut Lord and his wife) hop out of. The helicopter's name is SA-2, possibly referencing the game. Edit: Okay I skipped to around 10 minutes in by the comments, and no comments needed. Edit 2: Alright, so for those who haven't played Mario Kart 8, there's a mode called Battle Royale (something like that) and before, there were these old tracks. I remember there being a sound effect, no idea what it was for, but it's used as a sound effect in the movie by the road chase when Sonic rolls into a ball and crashes into Robotnik's robot vehicle. Not sure if it's included

[@aidenatorx99]

I never noticed the Babylonian hieroglyphics reference. Granted, I’ve played the first Riders way more than ZG but still, wow! That’s such a cool reference.

[@shadowking278]

Funny enough, isn’t it confirmed that Jim sometimes made his voice dip into the actual Eggman voice?

[@UltimateLifeform-q8r]

What everyone hears: I can show you the way. What Eggman truly says: I can show you da wae.

[@Hecuba107]

3:39 What is the clip from?

[@noobly_nuggets6186]

the giant eggman robot is actually based off of the giant robot eggman uses in sonic 3 and knuckles, it's even powered by the master emerald too.

[@afonsosocrates]

In the final boss, sonic gives a little kick on the robot and I think that's a reference to the kick in sonic 06 opening

Something you missed about the chaos soda Easter egg is that Chaos Soda is actually a thing in the games. I think it first appeared in SA2 but it’s in the comics and probably a few other games

[@plushies-kb2od]

According to the Artist Tysen hesse, that he said the The Alien Scavengers were based on Jet, Wave, and Swallow, all of them of the Babylonian Rogues There is some other refrences that i found in the film Robotnik says "Klatuu Barata Nikto," which is from film called The Day the Earth Stood Still Sonic says Snow dogs, snow dogs is really a film Stache Smasher is a possible reference to the 'Stache Smash video game Eggman made in the Sonic Boom episode, "Eggman: The Video Game Part 1". Knuckles punching the Master Emerald out of Robotnik, its like where Knuckles knocks the Chaos Emeralds out of Super Sonic. in Sonic the hedgehog 3 game. Sonic running on water, refrenced to Sonic runing in water in games

Don't forget the other reference to The Great Clement later in the video. XD

[@dr.ivorobotnik8910]

When Dr.Robotnik fused with the Master Emerald (and the 7 Chaos Emeralds since they are in the Master Emerald) is a reference to the Sonic Fleetway comics where Dr.Robotnik fused with the Master Emerald and 6 of the 7 Chaos Emeralds and become God Robotnik. He was immortal, indestructible, omnipresent, omniscient, he could shoot green laser from his fingers and his eyes, he could create anything he can thought, rewrite time and space has his will and changing his size

6:51 it's along shot but I think Sonics outfit here is a reference to UK Sonic the Comics Bobby Beak alias Sonic used when traveling mobius undercover

[@sonicx24cool51]

If I’m not mistaken, the Scavengers helmet designs are based on Jet, Storm, and Wave’s head feathers

[@TheRetroReplay]

An easter egg that you missed is when Sonic starts running through the labyrinth is he does a spin dash as he rounds a corner and the sound is similar to the spin dash charging sound from Sonic Spinball
