Sonic balloon at Macy's Parade 93 - the Aftermath (1993)

[ReviewGuy3000]

They have a newer Sonic balloon for 2011

[KennethMoreland]

*Robotnik in the crowd, chuckling while holding a pin*

[Frankies3298]

1993 they were both new what a waste

[RSLindsay]

I was at this parade, in Times Square. My uncle and I were standing underneath a lamppost. Each time a giant character balloon went by, the winds kept threatening to impale the balloon on the lamppost head. We saw Rex come through. His head had popped but his body was still inflated.

[KingofStrawberries]

NO, SONIC, NO! Not everything metal and powered is evil!

[Flyboy5896]

So that's what happened to the old Sonic Balloon, what happened to the extra 2-3 lives he's supposed to have?

[jzygorodimos]

Sonic was hit by a true romance VHS and Mario fireball

[jzygorodimos]

And copy's of true romance from 1993 came down

[Dragonrider1227]

Sonic: My games have to be on Nintendo consoles now! FML *balloon pops

[TheWaterDemons]

I thought light posts were a good thing for Sonic.

[ApalloTheHedgehog]

Mario must have farted and did tha ton puropsice

[sonicOneTwo]

Eggman: That's one less balloon to worry about!

[Darksider10xd]

i dont care about the injured people i cared about sonic! damm where is tht ring.....

[MultiSuperman00]

you bought more of mario's games than mine! i have no reason to live!

[lummox67]

That's why I saw Super Mario with that pin!

[DaveTheSodaGuy0]

is there a giant mario baloon falling on people? huh? HUH?

[Jonaheuphrates]

0:10 oh shit.

[pytko3]

Well, they made a new Sonic the Hedgehog balloon, recently. They had it in the parade of 2011 in honor of his 20th birthday and it DID NOT get ruined because there was no wind.

[thetypemanfuckyou]

Wow! Check out her hair!

[Smackdown9586]

Dr. Eggman won this round.

[sfrewerd]

Well sonic will respawn where the lamppost was... XD

[TheSonicMusicdude]

Sonic getting hit by a lamppost predicted Brawl's Green Hill Zone... duh

[geico39]

GAME OVER

[huskiesghost]

Sonic: Yo, look at all these people! Hey!

-Pole kills Sonic-

Fan: YOU KILLED SONIC! -Points at pole-

another fan: YOU BASTERED!

[SuperMarioSonicfan1]

Sonic forgot to get his rings!

[sfrewerd]

Well, sonic did have two mouths on this balloon.

[sarujo]

Somebody actually caught the Sonic balloon mishap on camera. It was shown on Entertainment Tonight.

[ChannelDuncan]

diggitys@$! said TAKE THAT SEGA!!

[VerendumGames]

GAME OVER YEAHHHHHH

[sonicbigfan1]

I hope he doesn't pop this year!

[LockShockandBarrel1]

(sonic returned i watched it on TV)

[Mikugumii]

LOL Just saw him few minutes ago leading the parade, so far so good xD let's hope it doesn't end the same way this year.

[Speeder109]

They talked about this when Sonic came in the parade.

[LiamKawa]

Lamp post= Sonic Team in 2006

[TheMSpence89]

Nintendo sabotaged the ballon!

[TheMSpence89]

*Plays game over theme*

[yoyomantebest]

The lamppost did more than what Eggman would ever do XD

[shadrico100]

R.I.P Classic Sonic- LOL

[supersonicvl1]

foreshadowing 2006 game lol

[wiishadow4]

Hopefully he doesn't die again this year.

[Speeder109]

@wiishadow4 He lead the parade and is doing amazing during the parade :D

[UFONINJA7]

that was an omen that his video games was going to bad in the fut er but he is coming back. lol

[sonicxlover135]

ITS SOOO TRAGIC NOW THT SONIC DIED....THE DINOSAUR.......well who cares about that...BUT SONIC SHOULDN'T OF DIED!!!!

[sonicxlover135]

NOT SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!!!

[TJ123Hedgehog]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT SONIC

[mslurr]

That kid was telling the police officer that someone touched them inappropriately.

[6000NoobTube]

@mslurr And that's NO GOOD.

[CoyKiyote]

Thumbs up if you want to see one of these balloons floating away with people dangling from it!

[carrotshark]

he was going too fast.......

[Czweezy93]

Thumbs up if Kotaku sent you here!

[MadThad0890]

This was only a sign of even worse things to come for sonic

[iraqilemonade]

at 0:09 you can hear the guy saying "oh shit" lol

[Max1234qwert]

Just a glimpse at the future

[waltdisney19282008]

the balloon knocked over a child and a police officer? OH THE IRONY!! IT DOES NOT TASTE LIKE A CHILLIDOG! IT TASTES LIKE A MUSHROOM!

[waltdisney19282008]

Mario is sitting back on his chair, eating mushrooms and laughing at this horriffic event :(

[9000mario]

woman:rex pop. me:oh! thats not too good.woman:sonic also pop. me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O, NOT SONIC!

[GlambertGirl1984]

I remember when this happened for when I went into NYC to see that parade and the next thing I know, it was a mishap! I was about 8 years old at the time, now I'm 26 going on 27 this year from next month.

[SonicSpeedingFire]

What if he crashed and burst out money all over the place. XD

[NameNotNeeded]

Fittingly the featured video is a defeated Sonic

[TornadoMario347]

IT WASN'T MARIO THAT DID IT

IT WAS ALEX KIDD

Think of Alex you guys, he's jealous that he lost what Sonic has.

[RayAndFlare]

it's okay because Sonic can just start at the lamppost where he died

[N1GHTPup]

@RayAndFlare But the lamppost killed him. It's just going to repeatedly spawnkill him :D

[SuperCheese001]

@RayAndFlare lol funniest thing all day

[JarshMaul]

@RayAndFlare Wow. I don't think I've laughed that hard at any other comment I've seen on youtube. hahaha Nicely played!

[Ch4rmyBee]

@RayAndFlare rofl

[BlueNoiseZZ]

@RayAndFlare U win xD

[GreentheGunstar]

@RayAndFlare

:|...*slow clapping*...If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go kill myself. This is pretty much the peak of my life anyway, so...*pulls out a noose* who wants to help me tie this thing to the streetlight?

[DiddyKong296]

@RayAndFlare Holy shit lmao

[TheJeli125]

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O

[SantuXD6]

Fuck water, fuck spikes and fuck crushing, lamposts are Sonic's biggests obstacles.

[sonicfan3346]

I hope Sonix brings rings this year...

[goldlightning1683]

It would be funny if they had the new Sonic balloon that is in the parade this year start off right back where the old balloon knocked down the lamppost. I mean lampposts are Sonic's checkpoints. :P

[SmashLiXs]

i can see irony if a mario float got inpaled on a pole

[105supersonic]

A ghost of wind?

STOP LYNG JUST SAY ITS MARIO!

[PrrromotionalPingas]

Mario's jealous that he'll never be a Thanksgiving Balloon.

inb4 he goes after Pikachu

[Aerodynamic909]

THIS LAMPPOST IS THE LAMMPOST TO PIECRE THE SONIC

[therock238360]

I BET U NINTENDO USED A GIANT FAN

[KusMoGX]

Sonic: "I'm outta here!"

GAME OVER

[TwilightLink77]

*insert game over theme*

[funtyrone]

sonic's back, and with a vengance! and mario's following behind.

[TheSuperBaxter]

WRONG!!!! he just crashed into a Lampost & injured an Officer

[sweetnessledda]

Kind of ironic that the wind did that to him.

[DemonRoxxie]

He hurt an innocent child and police officer!! Abusive hedgehog! XD

Oh, next time, come with rings.

[waltdisney19282008]

and thats why i despise nature!

the irony in that mishap is: in the famed Sonic says segment (you all should know that one) Sonic mentioned talking to a police officer if someone is making you unconfortable, he knocks a police officer over, IRONY!

[thebulldog344]

Damn you mother nature!!!

[HyperSonicXtreme]

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

Sonic: SONIC WIND!!!

[MrsonicPwnsmario]

NOOOOO CURSE YOU MARIO, SONIC DIDNT HAVE ANY RINGS

[UmbreonDarkShadow]

DANMIT MARIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[2071Johnny]

It is very sad, but the Sonic float WILL BE RETURNING this 2011!

[ayjish]

@2071Johnny HELL YEA!

Sonic's back! and this time with rings!

[soniario12]

so sonic kinda injured a KID and POLICE?...thats no good XD

[YoshiAngemon]

It would have to be LESS destructive, if they just chose to go with a 20th Anniversary Float, with Mascot characters of Modern and Classic Sonic, and Tails, Knuckles and Amy, with a celebrity, rather than the balloon option. I mean, they use DIFFERENT Balloons for Pikachu, set to the same song, the Pokemon Main Theme (Gotta Catch 'em All) Instrumental version.

[qtippz]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOO

[CalumonFan]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh, SONIC!!!!!

[PastShadow]

The perfect representation of Sonic's reputation after Sonic 06.

[SlashForce]

The one dislike is the kid that got hit by the balloon.

[ottoman932]

Sonic: (* Reads that he is coming back this year*) Gotta get some rings.

[Aydster]

NO, NOT SONIC!

TAKE MARIO INSTEAD

[TheAccountsetup]

lmfao!!! "even without wings i can still fly!!!"

[MamaLuigiBarrelRoll]

Hooray, it's not in bad taste to bring the balloon back now! It's coming back this year!

[AvocadoTomato]

Sonic is back this Thanksgiving! Hopefully this doesn't happen again. LOL

[luisrox94]

Sega just announced that Sonic will return this Thanksgiving

[viacommustdie3]

why does he have 2 mouthes?

[bawkbagawkisback]

Damn Eggman & Mario with their Lamp Post Spikes, they obviously knew it was gonna be just as windy as Windy Valley & went "Oh we're sick of that blue hedgehog, lets take the save lamp post & combine them with Spikes that way Sonic will think he's just touching a save post!". Mustached bastards.

[ert94464isback]

Nintendo's sabotage plan WORKED!

[Aleanizationable]

Is there any news article about this on the internet?

[JDTheHedgehog686]

@Aleanizationable There is. Try using Google News and you may find some old Newspaper Articles about it. :)

[TheMarioluigifans]

WHY IS MY BEAUTIFUL BALLOON DRIFTING INTO A LAMP POST?

WHY AM I REACHING YOU AT THE COORDINATES FOR THE HOSPITAL?

WHY? WHY?! WHY?!?

[DrewsCoolReviews]

Sonic, he has trouble with wind!

Sonic, his head blew up and and hurt 2 people in the process!

[danieluzumaki14]

dr.robonik and mario teamed up and got all his rings and used a machine to blow him to the light post thus making him look bad for falling on a kid and cop

[joe13shank]

Mario Was WaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy More Popular Then Sonic in the 90s There Was just 1 Sonic Game & A Stupid Sega genisis & A cartoon I Don't Really Care About Sonic They Should have Made A Mario Balloon Sonic Was So Boring & mario Games Were More Fun.

[dragonrage12100]

@joe13shank Cool Next Time Ill Think About Before Buying A Game Because Its So Cool To Play A Game About A Obese Plumber Who Jumps On Enemys Before I Buy A Game About A Hedgehog That Has A Huge Storyline Fun Gameplay Great Graphics And Music And Actually Fights Enemys Instead Of Being A Wuss And Just Jumping On Them.

[parakeets124]

This a was a omen! Saying that sonic will soon fall. In 1996 Sonic SatAM was canceled. And in 2001...sonic appeared on the Nintendo Advance. In 2005 Sonic X broadcaster in America....Thus the fall of Sonic the Epic Hedgehog.

[sonikku956]

@parakeets124 Fail. In 1994 SatAM was cancelled, Sonic appeared on the GAMEBOY ADVANCE, and in 2003, Sonic X was DUBBED and aired in America.

[parakeets124]

@sonikku956 I put wat was on wiki.

[sonikku956]

@parakeets124 It says 1994. Do the fucking research.

[parakeets124]

@sonikku956 Why are you trying to start a fight, when it was a little mistake?

[sonikku956]

@parakeets124 ... Oops, sorry. I didn't mean it.

[LordRobotnik]

I approve of this.

[danina8705]

Amy is going to kill someone with that hammer of hers now...

[ShadowTailsFanLives]

Wow. I've heard of the Cat In The Hat Balloon insident, but a Sonic Balloon?! ...... Just wow.

[andddytown]

SONIC¡¡¡¡!!!!!!!!!!!

que te han echo!!!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡

[mariodude8989211]

He has two mouths :O

[rihnem]

That's no good.

[yungerrapper]

Shame... I could've sworn he was a Knight of the Wind.

[brucesnoop]

That Must Been Very Very Shocking!!! :(

[Sonicthehedgehog9908]

sonic needed a check point!

[Musiclover19]

Is it me or does anyone else hear someone saying "oh shit" when the Rex balloon pops.

Thanks for posting this by the way, it's cool to see a news report on these incidents.

[mariodude8989211]

@Musiclover19

You're not the only one XD

[9000mario]

sonic: who's big now mario

mario: hey sonic catch this koppa shell

sonic: No wait

POP!

mario: look who's too slow now

[supershaun1210]

oh no not sonic why why :(

[silverknux1]

WAA SONIC

[Tamers12345]

lol sonic smashed a kid and an officer? He must really hate kid's and the government. XD

[Simpsonsman120]

Damn you Mario! Why couldn't you kill Crash Bandicoot instead?!?

[Ch4rmyBee]

@Simpsonsman120 Crash didn't exist in 1993 and neither did the Playstation.

[Simpsonsman120]

@Ch4rmyBee

I know that, but I would rather Mario kill Crash instead of Sonic.

[marnea1]

@Ch4rmyBee

Yeah, that's one response.

[Mariokartracer10]

@Simpsonsman120 It wasn't Mario genius! It was the weather! Next time think before you blame the greatest video game star! Idiot!

[randomxfirerecording]

That kid was probably a mario fan. HAHAHHAHA

[CenaSux890]

Poor Sonic :P

[kreeddem]

lol sonic ko'e the law haha

[throwfox66]

yeah! take out those children! haha, lol

[Yanabanz]

WHY MUST SONIC DIE!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!

[skullboy9000]

fuck the dinosaur..........SOOOOOOOONIC NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOL

[raddil17]

i feel guilty and i wasnt even born .... =)

[nighthade1]

At least sonic took it down with him, along with the people.

[SonicHedgehog11]

Wow Dr Robotnik Had A Good Plane To Get Sonic

[CreamandPoppufan166]

I bet the people who hated Sonic and liked Mario were cheering that the Sonic balloon got destroyed. DAMN THE WIND!!!

[Ch4rmyBee]

@CreamandPoppufan166

Probably. The 16-bit console war was heated in '93, so any cheering for the loss of this balloon can not be doubted.

Pikachu's yet to pop. :(

[CreamandPoppufan166]

yeah... Pikachu's been here for many years...

[mariomario8489]

Hey I just ordered a sonic underground plush for the mario plush series i'm doing. He is part of the main cast. I like Sonic & Mario BOTH!

[TRealSonicHOG]

Well... does that mean Robotnik wins? XD Honestly though, it's pretty cool to see the actual report from 1993 about the Sonic Balloon's fate.

[KennethMoreland]

He didnt have any rings.

[DreamHog98]

@KennethMoreland Wheres the game over music when you need it? poor sonic. maybe this year they will get a new ballon for projet needle mouse.

[askmiller]

im guessing dr. eggman made that balloon of horror to scare away that child from helping sonic destroy him. kinda "out there" but ya never know.. lol

[Gamepopper101]

Well Rex was from We're Back! so he saw it coming.

[TimeChristis]

Perhaps the cop was an agent of G.U.N. and the kid was Maria. MARIA!!!!

[sargentsnugglewolf92]

nooooo! what did sonic ever do to the street lights!

[KawaiiStarberry]

It was then when that kid hated Sonic.

[KawaiiStarberry]

Gosh Sonic. A kid and a cop? I guess you really want the Emeralds, you'll take anyone down.

[webkinzdare56]

hey did somebody through that sonic away

[IGETTHUMBSDOWNALOT1]

Mario did this

[nintendofan4life]

*cues sonic 1 game over music*

[yungerrapper]

lol I was about to say the same thing.

[kataang4evah]

IT'S NO USE!!

(I think this was silvers doing) lol

[DarkLink9393]

YOU'RE TOO SLOW!

[TazHall]

Wow, if Sonic's going down, he's taking you with him 0_o
