Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I’m Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
I’m back with a second part to our Sonic Cameos list.
Lucky for me, Sonic is everywhere, so there are plenty of things to choose from.
I tried to pick a few that would be a bit more surprising too.
If you enjoy this video, let us know by throwing us a thumbs up down below.
And if you want more, check out part one of this list!
But before you do that, get ready, it’s time for the Top 10 Sonic Cameos, Part 2!
Number 10: Sega Gamepack.
The Sega Gamepack was released in 1992 for the Sega Game Gear.
It included 4 minigames, soccer, tennis, racing, and a match-3 game based on the game Columns.
And if you play the tennis game, it will be refereed by the Blue Blur himself.
Guess he’s low on rings and looking to pick up some spending money.
That’s what got me into soccer reffing!
Number 9: Breaking Bad.
That’s right, Sonic was in Breaking Bad.
Kinda.
Brock and Jesse can be seen playing Sonic 06 in one scene, with the scene even starting
with a close up shot of the game.
And they do seem to be having fun, although it is a kid and a drug dealer so take that
with a grain of salt.
This is definitely different from other cameos, since it’s just showing his game, but he
was there, and Breaking Bad rocks.
I will give no other reason.
Number 8: Archie Comics.
No, I’m not talking about the Sonic comics published by Archie, I mean Sonic actually
showing up in Riverdale in the mainstream Archie comics.
In one Halloween Mini Comic, Sabrina the Teenage Witch accidentally enters the Sonic comics,
then accidentally brings Sonic and Knuckles back with her.
They go to a costume party, and when Jughead arrives wearing an Eggman costume, things
start to go awry.
And as I’m sure you suspect, hilarity ensues.
Well, maybe not hilarity, but it’ll make you exhale through your nose a few times.
Number 7: The Scott Pilgrim comics.
This one, like other members of the list, might be stretching the definition of “Cameo”,
but there are sooooo many Sonic references in Scott Pilgrim that it would be a travesty
not to include it.
Just to name a few, Scott has a Sonic and Knuckles shirt, he's seen playing Sonic and
Knuckles, his high school band was CALLED Sonic and Knuckles, volume 4 has Scott and
Ramona in the place of Sonic and Tails from Sonic 2, and most of all, when Roxie is defeated,
she explodes into a bunch of woodland creatures.
So much Sonic.
Number 6: MAD.
Again.
Yep, we showed one of Sonic’s cameos in the MAD show, but that wasn’t his only appearance.
In one episode, Here Comes the Doom slash Brain Purge, we saw a show called Koopa Troopa,
Gutsman, & Kracko, a take-off on Koopa, Mega Man, and Kirby.
Their firm helps villains to make levels that heroes can’t win.
They show this by making a pit of spikes that is too long for Sonic to jump over, and a
purple Sonic is seen dying at the hands of Eggman.
Pretty dark, but they definitely have a point.
Number 5: Whose line is it Anyway?
Yeah this one is definitely stretching the list, but I love Whose Line so much and this
is a pretty funny video.
In one Party Quirks, Wayne was pretending to be a series of video game characters, and
guess who one of them is!
That’s right, Sonic.
Yes, I know Sonic technically isn’t in this, but it’s not often you see Wayne Brady pretending
to run around collecting Sonic’s rings.
Number 4: Jingle all the Way.
Oh man.
I freaking love this movie.
It makes it so much easier to remember the names of the reindeer.
Dasher Dancer Prancer Vixen Comet Cupid Donner Blitzen!
Awesome.
What was I talking about?
Right, Sonic.
As you may recall, the movie hits its peak during a parade in which Turbo Man would be
performing.
And there are a bunch of mascots walking through the parade.
And Sonic’s one of them!
Score!
Number 3: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
In Yoshi's Island, one of the enemies is called "Harry Hedgehog".
So it starts kinda fishy.
But then when you learn that it's blue and moves really quickly, it's pretty clear that
this is Nintendo's way of referencing Sonic within their game.
Yeah, I know this technically isn’t Sonic, it’s Harry… but it’s Sonic.
Shut up.
Shh.
Number 2: Jazz Jackrabbit.
Jazz Jackrabbit was a platformer for PC that had clearly been inspired by Sonic.
And they called attention to this in the intruction manual, where Jazz says "I wish life was like
those video games where all you had to do to defeat the bad guy was jump on him."
And suddenly Sonic appears, saying "Somebody get my lawyers on the phone!"
Thankfully, nobody did, because Jazz Jackrabbit was actually pretty good!
Number 1: Ready Player One.
I hinted in part 1 that we might see Sonic in Ready Player One, and now we know that
he DOES appear in the movie!
Which surprised roughly zero people.
He didn’t have a particularly large part, you can miss it if you blink, but he was definitely
seen, and that’s good enough for me.
That said, I haven’t had a chance to see the movie yet, so no spoilers please!
That’s it for today!
