Things in Sonic Games you misinterpreted when you were younger...

No kidding. Also, I'm aware that my rationale might make some sense for those whose native language uses the Latin alphabet, but it might not make any sense at all for those whose native language is Japanese or any language written in non-Latin alphabets.

I still believe that's what they are.

 

I think this is the technically case. In Sonic 3 when Tails takes a hit, he flashes for a couple of seconds but his tails don't. It's like the tails are a ghost entity.

 

Hydroshitty

 

Oh wow. I never noticed there was an "n" in that zone's name. I always pronounced it "lab-er-ith" zone. >_>

 

Seems like a lot of people pronounce it "High-dross-ity." Maybe I've been pronouncing it wrong all these years by saying Hydro City :P

 

Worst debate in forum history. It's Hydro City.

 

I say Hydrossity~
You say Hydro City~
Let's call the whole thing off~

Psst. I don't think anybody cares anymore.

 

All you people that thought it was 'Sandpolis' rather than 'Sandopolis,' you weren't actually 'wrong'. In Sonic & Knuckles Collection for PC they incorrectly labeled it as 'Sandpolis' in the game select window! Those cheeky people at Sega!

 

I just remembered something else. I used to say "Speed Dash" instead of "Spin Dash".

TO-MAY-TO, TO-MAH-TO.

 

If they were to add a space between Hyrdo and City, would there be enough room on the title card? (and this is why the english language sucks)

 

We've already shown that it was never meant to be two separate words; "hydrocity" is only a word if "hydro" is a PREFIX, therefore it's pronounced "hydro-city".

 

Water city + pun on velocity = case closed (please?)

 

My misinterpretations:

Sonic 1 - I didn't play this game much, so not many, but:
-Burrobots had baseball caps
-The spike bug wasn't a bug and that the gamemakers made it too realistic
-LZ was Hell (as in where the devil lives)
-If you got all the chaos emeralds you could turn into super sonic.

Sonic 2:
-The bouncer bird things in CNZ were indestructible (not really a misinterpretation)
-That CPZ was where they robotized the animals
-The water in CPZ was poison
-That SCZ was set in Heaven.
-That OOZ was full of less diluted stuff than CPZ.

Sonic 3/K:
-Balloon platform was lava
-In CNZ you could jump past the knuckles switch and kill him.
-That when Eggman stole the master emerald the chaos emeralds became grey (inactivated supers) and you had to make them work again.
-Knuckles was the prince of angel island as he lived in the hidden palace.
-The picture found in HPZ was of no significance whatsoever.

Sonic CD:
-If you waited 10 minutes it would go into the next future stage (either past to present or present to future)
-That the broken robotizer in the present/future was where you would fight Eggman in the past.
-Metal Sonic was rebuilt from the S3K one.

Pronunciations:
-Labyrinth: La-bye-rinth
-Hydrocity: Hi-drow-sitty (I thought Hi-dross-itty was correct later when people said that on YouTube . I now pronounce the first way.)
-Eggman: Yes, that's how I want to call him.
-Flying Battery: Eggman's ship. I never understood why they called it a flying battery when clearly it did not look like a battery and it didn't have wings.
-Chemical Plant: Chem-ic-owl Pl-ah-nt

 

Not a bird

 

Wait, it isn't a bird? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

 

Another thing, but not a misinterpretation, it took me forever to figure out how to get into the good future in Sonic CD. Whenever I got there, I just believed I pushed a button or something or that it was random. I don't think it was till the PC version that I correlated roboticizer in past = good future.

 

I got another one:
-That the Crawl was a bird

:P

 

The "spike bug" was never a bug, it was intended.

Changed for the weaker sonic fans

 

Or because it caused cheap deaths several times and was inconsistent with every other hazard (except pits and getting crushed which are instakill for obvious reasons). Besides, you could argue that being able to collect rings back was also made for the weakest players =P
