And I’m also going to save the Sonic statue hidden in Japan’s mountains and bring it to North America and sculpt a new nose and patch up the cracks in the statue’s right arm and maybe even make a surfboard and design it and also make the torso of the statue more stronger so it can support the weight of the right arm

[@PilloTheStar]

Chimps are terrifying.

[@Friesnchip]

Really enjoyed the video, however I noticed a lot of digital artifacting on the shown moving footage. I didn't think much of it at first, assuming it was probably old and from lesser digital cameras of the time, but then your own recording of the Sonic hotel room was shown and appeared quite distorted. Given that this footage didn't look like that when you originally uploaded it years ago, it's likely something happened during the export of this entire video to cause it to become corrupted or compressed. Might be worth re-exporting and re-uploading this video to have the picture quality you intended. You mentioned on Twitter wanting to do similar documentary type videos in the future - it would be a shame if new viewers saw this and were turned away from your channel due to the visual errors thinking the whole video itself was of lesser production quality, especially since that's not the case and the information itself was quite nicely presented.

[@cm-ih1jb]

Friesnchip Yeah, I noticed that, it’s very disorienting.

[@BadnikMechanic]

I think I know what has caused the distortion issues now. When the video is being converted from youtube into something I can use, it's not being encoded correctly when I try to max the quality of it, and it seems to be doing it mainly with low end cameras or mobile phone video, no all of it, but a lot. Hopefully this should be resolved for future uploads.

I'm fairly sure before Toyland closed they updated the Sonic section of the ride. I use to go to Alton Towers several times a year, We'd go to Mc Donalds next to Toyland Tours and then go on that ride as a way to let our stomachs settle. I remember it being a lot more bright and funky in that room.

[@adelinepurdy4144]

There are still some hints to Sonic Spinball if you look closely enough: 1. The car numbers are apparently the same as Sonic Spinball, though I honestly have no clue if that's true. 2. On top of one of the theming ornaments is a picture of who I'm guessing is Doctor Eggman, but I honestly have no clue, I'm not really a Sonic fan.

So instead of refurbishing the Toyland Tours ride, they decided "Hey, you know that crazy tunnel scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that gives kids nightmares? Let's do that, except more boring"

Gavin Wilson Sonic 4 Episode 2 is worse than the first 3&K are where some would say the series stopped being good. Adventure had a common clipping glitch early on in it’s first level and Adventure 2 is kind of just an awful game all around. It has like four sonic levels and then everything else is worse than the first by a mile. Generations is an hour long and meh at best. And given it came out years after Mario Galaxy it’s lack of content is embarrassing for a 360 title. Heroes is okay but it’s too button mash-y and the enemies are all so wildly uninteresting. ... Colors and Unleashed are good though. The Werehog gets too much hate considering how bad most of the other games are.

Was aware of the Sonic Spinball and hotel room back in the day of me roaming the Sonic Stadium forums but was not aware there was an even earlier partnership featuring the blue spikeball! Gotta give this Sonic at Alton song a listen to, sounds like a bop! And as was mentioned, there was a lot of visual hiccups and even noticed that some of your audio sounded pretty muffled at times. Hopefully these will be fixed in future uploads! Great vid Dave, keep up the great work!

[@BadnikMechanic]

Yeah the audio is a bit naff at parts due to the following.... Part of it was recorded on a camcorder... Part of it was recorded on a mobile in a conservatory... The rest of it was recorded on a mobile in my room... then I realised 'Oh heck, am I holding the phone in the same way?' Come Xmas all audio will be recorded on a yeti mic so hopefully all audio issues will be resolved by then. Already working on the next big video. Mascots! Mascots... everywhere!

The story of Sonic at Alton Towers sounds depressing. The way every time Sega tried to have Sonic there, something would stop them like the ride malfunctioning or in the case of Sonic Spinball, a hotel room that had a lot of issues.

From what I’ve heard there hasn’t really been an outstanding sonic game made since the beginning, which is really unfortunate because one would think it wouldn’t be terribly difficult, but evidently making a game centered around going fast isn’t the easiest thing 🤷🏿‍♀️
