I figured we'd dip back into the mediocre again before this marathon ended. Whatever, let's get this over with so we can get to the...good stuff?

I make a lot of posts to Twitter. Some of them channel relevant, sometimes not. They're always somewhat entertaining though! (Or at least I think so).

I have this as well, even though I'm not a huge fan of the site. Other people are though, and I figured it might be beneficial at some point.

    I can't believe Garrulous got thanosed, cancel blue marine zone
  • @LoganTGaming
    It's so weird and freaky that when Sonic's drowning countdown is finished, it actually removes your rings, one by one, rapidly.
  • @rosetteinspace
    Green Hill Zone: A faker. Yellow Desert: Complete chaos. Red Mountain: Aaaaa. Silver Castle: Good Music, bad level. Oh, don’t worry... Blue Marine: H E L L.
  • As someone who’s played this game, I just want to say I think I owe Labyrinth Zone an apology, I seriously didn’t know how good I had it. Seriously FUCK Blue Marine Zone
  • To give a slither of credit to this game, there actually are Air Bubbles in the Blue Marine Zone boss but only if Robotnik shoots the ground with an arrow when Sonic’s beneath him.
  • @pinhead7422
    Lol I see he let a little bit of his inner AVGN out at Blue Marine Zone
  • @HEXlDEClMAL
    I’m pretty sure “Sonic Lost Hope” after “Sonic Lost Cause.”
  • Reused Tube Gimmicks: Exists Garrulous64: Scrambled Egg Zone Flashbacks
  • @TheLonelyGoomba
    I think I first stumbled upon this game on Sonic Mega Collection+. Before then I didn't know this game existed despite having a GameGear and being a big Sonic fan. Man, it's probably the worst Sonic game imo. It feels like a bootleg.
  • As a Brazilian I'm issuing an apology in the name of my country for us being responsible for the horrible Master System port. On the bright side I do like the music for the first three zones and the boss battles.
  • @Keisezrgs
    Why does Sega make ALL the Game Gear games have 6 Chaos Emeralds? I let Sonic 2 slide since it came before it's Genesis release, but all the way ti'll now? What the Fu-
  • @NoNamex1412
    Apparently this was uploaded at 3am in my country. So sonic blast is cursed
  • @Pyrodolphin
    Fun Fact! This was my first Sonic game! I played the plug-n-play version from the mid-2000s. Yeah, its a bit jank, but I had a lot of fond memories of it.
  • @LORDBOB4EVER
    WOAH GARRULOUS LOOK THE RINGS THEY’RE GOIN UP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUND THEY’RE PASSING THROUGH THE GROUND
  • @andrewwdavvid
    I am just now realizing that we killed you off twice in the same video. Rip Gary, guess I’m taking over the channel.
  • @FixyFlow
    Notice how this is the only Game Gear/Master System Sonic review where he doesn’t show off a cool new remake in the works 🤔 No one wants to remake this abomination.
  • 6:03 actually the name of the zones each begin with a type of colors Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, and Silver these colors relate to the Chaos Emerald found in their respective zone which mean Green Hill Zone is just Hill Zone and so on and so forth edit: here's a tip on Blue Marine Zone if you want to speed run the game: when you go into those tubes don't do anything besides holding right on the d-pad to stop Sonic's momentum and slowly jump to the middle tubes and finally you escape from the waterhell and speaking of water if you are running out of air but you don't find an air bubble or a way to get up to the surface but you are close to a single tube go into it and wa la it restore the air meter the same way as a bubble
  • @ruptastic5347
    I love this. This entire series has just about defined my lockdown. So much sonicy goodness!
  • @cliffturbo2146
    Sonic Blast was truly a formidable opponent for Mario 64.
  • @redhotsonic
    What were you thinking when you were just staring into the camera at 0:04?
