When you're supersonic racing, there's no time to look around because the camera doesn't allow you to look around in this game. It just It's a fixed angle. What is this song? Oh Hey, stop turning the music off. I'm having fun. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Back to the song. I'm running out of energy, you guys. Everybody, Super Sonic Racing again.

What is this big ass car Amy has? Everybody's just on foot. Look at these dumb asses. They didn't even get cars. Eggman's already been killed off in this game. Oh, >> ready. >> The music in this is nice. I've never played this before. This is my first time. I've heard the soundtrack a lot, though. Okay. All right. Here we go. Oh, I'm dying. I'm Oh, Knuckles, get out of my way. >> You're my greatest ally, but also my greatest enemy. Go, Sonic. I'm taking the shortcut. Tear the sunshine. Sunshine sunshine day. Don't you eat the sunshine and the sunshine goes away. Look at this loading screen. That's the future. You can't do that on Switch, too. >> Okay, sit back, get comfortable, and let's watch that one more time. >> Who the is that? Who's that lady? I like that lady. Sit back and relax. Have fun watching the gameplay of Sonic R. Okay, I got a new strategy this time. >> Ready, set, go. >> Go. New strategy. That doesn't count. Guess you can't be that good at the game. All right, run it back. Up to this point, that was the most birds on screen in a game. Now, of course, we have games like Warhammer and uh Grand Theft Auto and Astrobot. I'm going this way. Going underwater way. I don't care. I go skip the whole world. Does this is this legal what I'm doing without you? I smell like a blue Sonic. Makes me want to eat cheese. >> How am I getting passed up by tails? >> Nothing that I can't do. I feel like Sonic Blue. Go. No. No. No. Pass that knuckles. Pass him. Yes. Yes. Get the hell out of here, Knuckles. This isn't called Knuckles R. It's Sonic R. Now, let's listen to the lady. More like Sonic swim. No, he only swims for half for well, three4s of the race was swimming. >> Okay, sit back, get comfortable, and let's watch that one more time. >> And let's watch Sonic go swimming. Oh, there's no vocals in the replay, though. You can kind of do the come up with your own lyrics without you. I'm playing Sonic, too. I didn't know what to do. What's the time attack mode like? Normal. Reverse. Okay, we're bringing in reverse courses. That's what I like to see. Get five balloons. That's what I like to see. >> Go. >> Makes me want to find balloons. What if I go up all this mountain? Whoa. Oh, you can do that. That is Tails. Maybe this is why they did balloon mode in Mario Odyssey. I can feel it. >> I can I can feel it. >> Yes, I can. >> The sunshine. >> Yeah, >> I do feel like that sometimes. Oh, that's what I should do. >> Oh, thanks for the advice. What? What's this breakdown? What the Why didn't you guys tell me this game was good? This is from Knuckles Ancient People. And this is the This is the fish room. Amy is slow as hell. I wasn't hitting the right button. That's why. Oh, she drives over the wall. Look at that. That's what the wheels do in Mario Kart 8. Mario Kart 8 ripped off Sonic R. I think if you can master Amy Rose, then you can truly master this game. I'm going to go under the bridge. Oh. Oh, we're in the city. You guys ready? Living in the city. Living in the city. Living in the city. In the city. Living in the city. You have to go to the city. Why is there a green missile shooting at me? So many places you can eat. Like Tony's Pizza Shack. So many stores that you can browse. Like Tony's Pizza Shack. You can see the city when you are in the city. Go. Here we go. In the city. Oh Here we go. No. Oh, why did I take the secret route? That's all right. That's all right. The first time through, you're just think thinking about the city and talking about the city. Everybody relax and settle down. Drink your Sonic soda and relax and enjoy the city. >> How about checking that out from some other angles? Here we go. >> Living in the city. I got to go back to Vice City in Grand Theft Auto 6, which will not be as good as Sonic R. How about we watch that whole race again, but zoom in on Knuckles foot the whole time. So, if you get all these rings, that opens up these great shortcuts that kind of actually screw me over. But I did notice that I got like a secretive Sonic Medallion. So, maybe if I unlock like more of the Sonic medallions, I'll revive uh Eggman. What city does she live in where everything is free? The cash gym. No, I passed it up. I'm going to get the Chaos Gem this time. >> Got it. Do I get to keep the Chaos Emerald now or do they take it back? You got Chaos Emerald. Maybe more than one. Wait, why did it say no? Wait, wait, what just happened? Wait, why did it say no, though? What? You got no Chaos Emeralds. Wait, why the did they do that screen? That's up. You got no Chaos Emeralds, you piece of You don't get to play Sonic anymore. You got zero gems in zero cities. you, kid. Why did they do that? That's the meanest thing ever. Do I get to keep my Sonic medallion at least? Watch this. Ah, I thought that would be a good shortcut. Ha, I'm keeping it this time. Living in the city. >> Living in the city is much harder than living out in the country. In the city, you got to survive. Out in the country, you can just die. You'll be fine. Everything is free in the city. What's nice about the city though is everything is free. Out in the country, is expensive. That's why I live in the Manhattan. Sonic, no. You must let me win this race or they'll take my gem back. Where the am I? Oh no, everybody's passing me up. Didn't know that, but I never went that way before. >> I'm in third place. Oh no. Oh, no. Wait, I'm in first. I'm in first. >> I can see the city lights. >> Oh. Oh, in the city. Here we go. That's how you do it. I got the Chaos Gem. I got two Sonic medallions and first place. So, I get to keep it this time, right? You got Chaos Emeralds. Yeah, I got it. I actually got it. Now, let's watch that race again with a different perspective on life. What kind of options do we have? Let's hear the sound effects. Dang, every sound effects is the same for this game. I think that's when you go underwater. This one's like when you jump on Robotnik's head. Sonic. Don't jump on my head. Wouldn't you rather go to somewhere else in the city where everything is free? Now he's punching Robotnik in the chest. Now he's building him a house. I would say this is the best Knuckles 3D model that we've seen in a game. Oh, we're in Knuckles Kingdom. Look at that. Oh, take me back in time. >> Okay. >> I like these lyrics. This is what I'm going through right now. >> Yeah. You got no chaos in room. What if you went to a restaurant and they gave you the burger and they said you got burger, then the guy ate the whole thing in one bite and he said you got no burger. I mean, this is just a straight up 3D Sonic game. This is This Why doesn't this count? This is the first 3D Sonic. This is the first and best. It did it first and it did it the best. It's the best game ever made. You know, maybe you're going a little far with that, but I agree. We kind of went from this game is is not as bad as we've been led to believe to this game is underrated to this is the best game ever made. We kind of we went on that journey real quick. Take me back in time. >> you, Knuckles. No, I almost had him. I had him. I was right there. You ain't get >> Don't you just love this course? Now you can relax and look at it to your heart's content. >> Don't you just love going back in these Egyptian times back when Knuckles was still alive? Who would win between John and Knuckles? >> Uh, if we're just talking, you know, vanilla John, I think between vanilla John and Knuckles, Knuckles wins that. But if we're talking about punished Arbuckle, Knuckles does not win that battle. I'm going to jump through this. Watch this. I can spin. >> Sonic can spin. No, >> Sonic. No. No. I don't think I'm going to win. Back in time. Wait, I see him. I can win. I can win. I can win. No. Maybe I get to keep it this time. We're progressing, but only we're progressing backwards. There really is only five courses in this game. That hurts. We got to make it real. >> Go, Knuckles. Wait. No, I'm Tails. >> Whoa. >> Whoa. Was wait. >> Was that good? >> Wait, didn't she say everything was free in the city? Now nothing is free. Work it out. Think about it. Work about it. Move to the city. Everything's free. Work about it.
