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

My Dad once set up an emulator (dGen) with a bunch of MegaDrive games on there. As well as Sonic 1, 2 and 3 there was also Sonic 2 Beta and Sonic Crackers. I thought that Sonic 2 Beta was a mis-spelling of 'Better' and mistook it for the full game and the version I'd been playing on my MegaDrive for years was just a demo. It didn't have Wood Zone and the title screen sure was different so it clearly wasn't everything. As for Sonic Crackers, I thought that game was rubbish and decided I wouldn't buy it.

 

It's probably been said by someone else, but I personally mispronounced Knuckles's full title as "Knuckles the Enchilada".

 

Dude, I was just thinking of making a topic today on how there's goddamn faces in Sonic 1, 2, 3K, CD (In particular, I should know!), and many of the Genesis Sonic titles. I wonder if the Mods would approve of this.


On topic: I thought that Hidden Palace's music in the sound test was for some part of alternate ending for Sonic 2.

 

When I first saw Robotnik, I thought he was meant to be an evil chef.

 

Like many, I thought Roller was Knuckles when I was younger. I don't know why I would at this point, but I did. I also thought "Chao" was pronounced "Chaa-hoe". When I first played Sonic Adventure, when it said "Chaos 0" I thought it was telling me how many Chao I had. I even thought "Why would they tell me this at such a random time?". God I miss being a kid.

 

My first exposure to Sonic was with Sonic & Knuckles Collection, which included Sonic 3. It never occurred to be until later that there was also a Sonic 2 and Sonic 1, and when I did finally get them at a garage sale a couple years later, I was quite surprised. :/

 

Man I always thought things like that...I thought that Crackers was the "next" Sonic game or something like Sonic 4 when I discover the rom on a cd with the "full romset". But I never knew much about Chaotix because neither the Mega CD or the 32x wasnt much popular here in Uruguay.

Also: My Avatar FTW.

 

I pronounce Hydrocity as "high-dross-itty" and Casinopolis as "casino-opolis".
Force of habit.

 

I thought that the videos in the Sega CD and PC version of Sonic CD would be the same quality as the ones on Sonic Mega Collection.

I watched the Mega Collection versions first.

 

LOL. That sounds something like Chinese fast food.

 

When I first saw the Segasonic arcade screens, I swore up and down that Tails and Ray were brothers. Hell, I still think that there is too much similarity to be a coincidence.

 

I'm guilty when it comes to this, though I had more time on the clock. This is how my friend and I made it pass CN Act 2 for the first time. :v:
Also I used to call Sonic 2 "Sonic 2 The Hedgehog".

 

Same here on Hydrocity, because Sonic Team couldn't have just said "Hydro City Zone".

 

You're supposed to shampoo your Chao regularly, so that doesn't happen...

 

When I was little, I though that when you hitted Robotnick in sonic 1 8 bit for Master System, it transformed into a brown cow.

 

See that thing in the center of the circle? The gap between the cape flaps?

I used to think it was a tooth sticking out in a cartoony fashion.

I also thought that the cape flap was the bottom half of Eggman's head.

 

Buck-toothed Sonic 3 Dr. Robotnik was an important part of my childhood. I was baffled when I discovered otherwise when introduced to less fuzzy images on emulators. I have recently been floored again by learning Hyrdo City is pronounced Hydrocity. In fact, it is Hydrocity, but it will forever be Hydro City to me.

 

Ohohohoho, you shouldn't have said that. Every time someone says something that sounds creepy as hell, I WILL DO IT.



Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the ghosts and goblins get you. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Anyways, what did I mess up on?

I used to call Rouge "Rogue". Seems to be a common mistake among young Sonic fans.

 

I thought Spring Yard Zone was also called Flying Battery Zone (Having never played sonic&knux until I was 10). Always thought the rectangular platforms were giant batteries.
