Yeah, sonic wears shoes. That's not normal for a hedgehog
And he's far less green
It's not like he has an infamous segment where he swims underwater
Once I was watching my sister try Sonic Adventure for the first time (got it on Steam from a bundle). I had never played Adventure myself but I knew the Megadrive/Genesis Sonics a bit, more than she did in any case.
She's just messing around, finds a small pool (more like blue transparent rectangle) and jumps in, laughing about the complete lack of physics or any watery effect.
Then "wait, what the fuck is that loud music, why is it playing now?"... And I'm like "Yeah, that's the sound of you drowning." "Oh."
So as someone who grew up playing sonic on gensis, he seems to be preety damn good underwater and spends alot of time there lol.
Until that music starts
Wait... I just saw a bubble! How far back was it? Do I got back or try and find another one in front of me? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
He’s a hedgehog who ate the fast-fast fruit
Normal hedgehogs can't slam back chili dogs though.
My daughter watches a video on YouTube called Sonic Retold, just an animation using in-game graphics from Sonic 1.
When it gets to labyrinth zone, Sonic stops and looks at the water - no matter where I am in the house she yells out to me “Sonic doesn’t like water!”
Im playing sonic adventure right now and in the second chaos fight you can just walk on the surface of the pond
You sink in if you take too long though. I always took it to be that Chaos's body was effecting the water somehow.
This is exactly why the pond is basically jello.
Apropos of little, don't miss Hydro Thunder and Toy Commander.
The panic-inducing drowning music from the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yw5jkAHgME
No better way to wake yourself up in the morning.
Ah, yes, what better way to capture waking up in the morning and getting ready another soul crushing, meaningless day at work than the musical interpretation of an anxiety attack!
Yeah those gold rings are heavy though
Fuck the Labyrinth Zone. Fuck the Aquatic Ruin Zone too, it's not even that they are hard, they are just so slow and unfun. With Aquatic you can try to avoid by staying up top but I always fall to water fairly quickly.
Fuck that music. The stress it made me feel was unreal.
anxiety theme song
Couldn’t he just jump up and start running really fast on water like how Dash did in The Incredibles? I don’t get this
