Hello. I'm Dana from Nickelodeon's Danger Force,
and it's time to buckle up and get ready
for a special look inside the new movie,
Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
Quick little stretch and here we go.
This is Thrills and Quills.
I am so excited to take a look
inside the making of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
And I've got just the thing to get this adventure started.
But wait.
If you didn't see the first one, hard to imagine, but possible,
you might need to get caught up, and there's only one person who
can tell the story fast enough.
Me.
Okay. Here we go.
Wish me luck.
So, in the first movie, we find Sonic on his home planet.
Where that is, we're not exactly sure.
But it wasn't safe in his guardian
Longclaw, she's an owl, by the way, sends him to Earth
with a bag of rings that allows him
to jump through portals to pretty much anywhere.
It's like flying first class without waiting in line.
He ends up in Green Hills, Montana,
and flies under the radar
until he zaps the electric grid and ruffles the mustache of
one doctor, Robotnik, a mad scientist
and evil genius, who will stop at nothing
to get Sonic's power.
His furry blue butt is saved by Tom, the Doughnut Lord.
and his wife is Maddie, the Pencil Lady.
Tom and Sonic go on an epic road trip.
But Robotnik catches up and is all like I got you now.
And Sonic is like, no way, I'm protecting my friends!
Then finally face off in an epic high speed showdown.
Spoiler alert,
Sonic wins and gets the family he always wanted.
And Dr. Robotnik ends up banished on the Mushroom Planet.
Until, well, right now.
Phew!
I did it.
A new record!
While I catch my breath,
Let's take a look at the making of this new moviel
Okay. Let's do this.
In this movie, Sonic is back to stop Robotnik.
People connected with Sonic in such a great way,
on the first film,
so I'm very excited to go on a second Sonic adventure.
It's so fun to dive into the mythology
and to give the fans more of what they want.
He's back!
Papa's got a brand new stache.
Ha!
The bigger the ego, the bigger the mustache.
[laughing]
We have some new characters.
We have Tails.
Hope I'm not too late.
We also have the ultimate match for Sonic.
You're no match for me.
I can't wait to show the fans the Knuckles character.
There's more action and more mischief.
I was really excited.
Never thought, in a million years,
that I'd be a part of the Sonic world.
Oh ho ho!
Huh.
Look at that. These portals can take you anywhere.
Like this one, that will take us around the world
as we get a closer look into all the locations
in Sonic's giant new adventure.
Swish.
The second movie...
it just feels epic.
Sonic 2 is a big globe trotting adventure movie.
That sounds big.
If you look at our movie,
it's like we open on a mushroom planet.
We've got this amazing snowboard sequence,
off in the mountains with Sonic and Knuckles
going at it, downhill.
Oh great, the winter soldier.
We cut to Hawaii, where we are in the middle
of this gorgeous wedding.
Maddie and I are off to Hawaii.
Maddie and Tom are going to her sister's wedding.
There is snow in Hawaii.
Snow maca.
I'm sweating from the waist up and then freezing
from the waist down because I'm standing on snow.
Not only is there going to be
big giant, action, but we're going to do
what we always do in a Sonic franchise,
which is joke our way through that.
For a guy named Knuckles, you are really bad at punching.
I love Hawaii and snow and I really love snow in Hawaii!
There's so many things to explore in this new movie.
I just can't decide where to go next.
Oh! I've got an idea.
We'll flip for it.
Tails. Sounds good to me.
Tails is the best sidekick ever.
I just hope we are not too late.
Oh lord, there are two of them now.
He's called Tails because he has two magnificent tails.
He has the ability to fly with his tails.
- We're flying. - That sly little fox.
He's an inventor. He makes these gadgets.
He's very smart.
I pinpointed the coordinates.
It's right up ahead!
It is an honor to finally meet you, Sonic.
Tails looks up to Sonic the way Sonic
looked up to the doughnut lord.
As soon as Tail shows up, people cheer.
I've got an idea. Do you trust me?
That little fox is into some crazy stuff.
[laughing]
Hang on!
We could all use the help of a good sidekick,
but some people around here are more likely
to give you a side punch.
Knuckles is introduced by Robotnik as Robotnik's friend.
Meet Knuckles.
He's a character that is a warrior
and this incredibly intense guy.
Sonic has never met somebody who can stop him.
Knuckles is the ultimate match for Sonic.
Do I look like I need Your power?
He doesn't understand humor.
You mock me with your weak jokes.
Just understands brute force.
Let's do this.
Whoa! Knuckles is intense.
And he's just a part of the danger.
Will speed be strength?
Will the science of a mad genius
destroy the brilliance of team work?
I have no idea!
Time to turn to someone with most of the answers.
Oh! You must be the scientist.
Hi. Yeah. I'm Dr. Hayden Burgoyne
and I have a phD in rocket science.
And I'm here to teach you about the science
of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Well, Sonic's has got a pretty unique name.
But what's that got to do with being fast?
Just like waves in the ocean,
sound is created by waves in the air,
only they move at 761.2 miles per hour.
That's ten times faster than you drive on the freeway.
When someone like Sonic can run that fast,
his noise piles on top, creating a tidal wave of sound.
And this is what we call a sonic boom.
Kablooey.
Well, I've never seen a fox fly before.
How does tails do it?
Good question. Just like a helicopter, actually.
Uh. Did your butt just turn into a helicopter?
And you can think of it like a really strong fan.
The faster he spins his propeller tails,
the more air he pushes,
and the more the air pushes right back.
If he spins it really, really fast,
it'll lift him right off the ground.
That's right!
Whoa! That's crazy.
What about that Knuckles guy? He's pretty scary.
How strong are those punches he throws?
Well, to put his fist through two inches of solid wood,
he would have to punch with more than 10,000 pounds of force.
That's like an elephant sitting on you, or the bite of a T-Rex.
And when someone punches that hard,
you definitely want to stay outta their way.
Stand still and die!
Alright. Well, I've gotta head out.
Whoa!
Is that an Einstein Rosen Bridge?
Mmm.
Amazing.
Our next guests don't need any introductions.
They're literally, out of this world.
Say hello to Sonic the Hedgehog and his new buddy Tails.
How does it feel to be back, Sonic, with a brand new movie?
Please, I'm going by Blue justice now.
Blue Justice.
Trademark pending.
And this is Tails.
He's a double threat. Fluffy and adorable.
I was still nervous, Sonic.
I've never been on camera before.
You're doing great, buddy. Show ‘em what you can do.
Pretty cool, right?
How is this film different from the first one?
There's more action, more adventure.
And since I have an agent now, there are perks.
Contractual chili dog breaks.
And I'm in it.
And there's a new character in this movie, Knuckles.
What's he like?
Well, he plays an Echidna Warrior
sent to destroy me at any cost.
Well, we have him here in studio today.
Knuckles, do you wanna say anything?
I do not.
Blech.
How are you enjoying your visit to Earth?
Your society is full of soft and undisciplined weaklings.
However, I do enjoy the planet's grapes.
Well, okay.
I know you have to speed up to your next adventure.
Thanks for joining us.
Absolutely.
Wow.
Looks like I've only got one ring left.
Wonder where it'll take us.
Only one way to find out.
Yeah!
I make this looks good!
Oh great, the Winter Soldier.
For a guy named Knuckles, you are really bad at punching.
You are no match for me.
I have been training for this my entire life.
And I have no training at all.
Yet, here I am ahead of you.
That's gotta be embarrassing.
Ahh!
Well, I guess that's it.
Thanks for joining me. Maybe we take another adventure someday.
Or maybe...
it'll be today.
