He’s the fastest thing alive!
So are spoilers so beware, this video does contain spoilers for the sonic movie.
Greetings gamers and welcome back to top 10 gaming, im your host connor munro and uhh,
meow?
The sonic movie comes out today and I did you the favor of watching it early so you
don’t have to.
We have 2 videos coming out today about the sonic movie so be sure to come back later
today for a little something more.
With the movie coming out, there had to be several references to things from the past,
but which ones could have slipped past you?
That’s what we’re exploring with todays list of the Top 10 Easter Eggs You Missed
In Sonic.
Spoiler warning, and be sure you watch the final 3 because your mind will be blown.
Roll the intro.
#10 Load Screen (Sega genesis) The Sega Genesis is a 16 bit console developed
by sega and released in north america in 1989, this was Sega’s third console and the successor
to the master system.
However, even with only their third console they made a mark in the gaming community with
one hell of a memorable opening screen.
The beautiful thing is that in the movie, they didn’t shy away from this either.
After the Paramount logo, that had replaced all the stars with rings had sown, we got
treated to a memorable sight with a sega screen.
Under the logo you obviously heard the music, but you could also faintly hear the iconic
word of SEGA underneath the logo as well, which is amazing call back to something that
so many audience members will remember.
Let it be known that everyone in the audience last night was an adult.
There were no kids in the theater, sure it might have been late, but it shows just who
the audience was for the movie.
And why changing the CGI was so important to the movie.
#9 Cinematic Universe (Original film logo) Following the Sega logo however, we are reminded
that this is an original movie, but the way that they did it was in a eerily similar vein
to something that we’ve all been obsessing over for the better part of 10 years, that
has sparked several other attempts at something so massive.
See how the studios part of that logo just kinda comes out between those lines?
Well the “original movie” logo from this film looked pretty similar, perhaps setting
up a Smash cinematic universe, which I will get to later in this list, with another easter
egg I think will blow your mind, but with the similarities between the logos, I cant
help but think that they knew what they were doing.
And you heard it here first, if they end up doing it you know from me they’ve been hinting
at it from the start.
#8 Generations (baby sonic) While we never really see the two running
side by side, the Sonic generations game was referenced right at the beginning of the movie.
The clip we see in the trailer of adult sonic running in his home world is never actually
on the screen, in fact its replaced by a baby version of Sonic being told to hide his powers.
However this baby version of sonic is A- not cuter than baby yoda and b- very similar to
the baby sonic we see in Sonic Generations as well as the earlier Sonic games, since
you all love to point out how he’s actually aged.
Unlike some other people *ash*.
The baby sonic looks incredible and is as close to the original sonic as we can get
when they were going with this design on the big screen.
Also, can I just say DO YOU KNOW HOW TERRIFYING THIS BABY WOULD HAVE BEEN IF THEY HAD KEPT
THE ORIGINAL DESIGN?!
I WOULD HAVE RAN OUT SCREAMING!
This is why I think it was just a stunt.
#7 Chili Dogs The Chili Dog is one iconic food item in the
Sonic cannon, being best known as Sonic’s favorite food.
While at first I thought that Tom’s dog would be called Chili, or that Sonic would
become best friends with him and that would be the reference, the actual Chili dog scene
comes when the Guys got into a bar fight.
Yeah, and the fact that it was on Sonic’s bucket list is just weird but okay.
After he was about to get jumped on –see what I did there?- Sonic goes into super speed
and has a quick silver flashtime moment where he basically wrecks everyone in the bar, but
while doing so he knocks several chili dogs into the air and decides he needs a little
snack.
So he eats like all 5 chili dogs and proceeds to end his montage.
After this Donut Lord and Sonic head to a Motel where sonic describes how he had a delicious
food that he thinks was called chili dogs.
How did you know what they were called?
Nobody said it and nobody mentioned it until that point, I supposed you could guess based
off the menu but youd have to know what chili and hotdogs are, and you didn’t seem that
well versed in Human food.
But oh well.
#6 Badniks During the scenes that are actually in the
trailer, where Robotnik ends up getting Sonic’s quill, he ends up running tests later on in
the movie.
The issues that come from this however end up causing his truck to lose power.
As he goes to reset the power you see his essentially fuse panel or breaker box.
Where he has things listed as what they are with masking tape.
A little weird for someone who was so damn cocky about being smarter than everyone but
oh well.
One of the pieces of tape ended up saying Badniks.
It was at the top of the screen so you may not have seen it, but if you’re unsure what
that means the Badniks are Robotniks robots that were originally powered by living animals
as a form of live battery.
Sonic after breaking these robots would free the animals, providing him incentive in his
first games.
What this could potentially mean is that this version of Robotnik is already past the point
of living batteries, but that he did use them in the past and has them at his disposal.
#5 Team Sonic Racing We knew sonic was going to be driving in the
movie, however what we didn’t know was that Tom was going to be leaning out the back all
Mario Kart style and swinging at Robotnik’s robots during the truck chase sequence.
While this may not perfectly parallel team sonic racing im sure that we can all agree
this is what this scene was intended to mimic.
Sure you could say that they were just showing Tom putting his life in Sonic’s hands, but
that’s what he was doing this whole movie.
Especially when he kicked them off the building.
So this is definitely Team Sonic Racing and there is no way you can fight me on it.
It just sucks that Sonic was only learning to drive while actually driving and reading
the manual.
I guess he hadn’t gotten to the part about distracted driving.
#4 Pinball At the climax of the movie, the final battle
between Eggman and Sonic, where there was a scene that was very MCU thor, and Arrowverse
Flash with a little bit of discount supersonic thrown into the mix, we get sonic absolutely
pounding the hell out of Robotnik’s ship, we would smash it, then bounce of a building
to come back, then swing around a lamp post and hit him again, and kept doing similar
things until he was finally weak enough.
But the over the head shot we got, looked like sonic was basically a super sonic pinball,
the blue devil was bouncing off everything, essentially letting himself be at the will
of gravity, but also controlling where he was going because he can do that with super
speed because duh.
It was very subtle and you could potentially have missed it if you weren’t looking for
the reference like I was.
#3 Mushroom Kingdom This is what I was saying when I told you
I was gonna blow your mind.
The whole movie is basically about Sonic needing to get his rings back, so he is able to escape
earth and head to a safe planet that is just mushrooms.
It took me a while to notice, but a world full of mushrooms feels awfully familiar at
this point right?
Especially when we’ve been wanting a Super Smash Brothers universe for the past almost
2 years?
Well why couldn’t that Mushroom filled world just be the mushroom kingdom, but like a forest
of mushrooms far away from the castle?
After all, in the end where robotnik was looking for a way to escape this world, you could
see a castle in the back.
Okay not really but wouldn’t that have been cool?
They could totally set up a Smash Bros movie with Sonic’s rings as portals, recruiting
others to help fight Master Hand.
Again, if you need a master hand actor, Im your guy.
#2 Tails The end credits sequence was something not
many people stuck around for when I was there last night.
They only watched until the Speed Me Up song came on and then they left because nobody
can handle 4 16 bit rappers.
Joking aside obviously none of them were marvel fans or saw the leaks online which you all
in the comments of previous videos were so nice to point out, spoiling this part for
me.
But its all in the past now.
Tails arrives at the end of the movie with a mission, saying that he’s tracked him
down and needs to find him.
We assume he is talking about Sonic, but can we really be sure?
Perhaps knuckles is hiding in this world, or Vector will be the next villain and Tails
is trying to find him.
Whoever he is after we don’t really know, but we all assume its sonic.
Tails was there and that’s what made everyone in my theater happy.
#1 Sanic Now THIS is what made ME happy, aside from
Uh Meow still being included, yes.
Yes it was.
The character being called Crazy Carl is rambling on to the people of Green Hills, yes that’s
the name of the town but a fairly obvious easter egg you would have noticed.
But if you didn’t there’s a bonus.
About a mysterious Blue Devil that has been torturing him at night.
Running around him as a blue blur and even talking to him as he calls out that he will
catch him one day, and that he knows he’s real.
Sonic responds with *no im not*.
While he’s rambling worse than Heimskir, he shows an image he drew of the blue devil,
and look at that it is none other than the Iconic drawing of Sanic from the video How
to draw Sanic Heghog that was released so many years ago.
If you want more info on that meme you should check out the Top 10 Sonic Memes That Should
Be in the Movie, where I said this had to be in it, and it was.
Im proud I was able to do that.
I mean I feel like I got a few others right, Sonic was depressed, he and other characters
said gotta go fast, and I mean the picture of Sanic was a drawing, if only someone bought
it for 10 million.
There we have it friends the Top 10 Easter Eggs You Missed In Sonic.
Are there any other easter eggs I missed or that you feel should have been on this list?
Let me and everyone else know in the comments, but be warned spoilers are below as well.
Also I don’t really respond to comments anymore and I apologize, my scripts are long
and I only have so long to record, but if you’d like at the end of videos we can start
doing Gaming meme reviews.
