Only in Sonic Genesis (for GBA)

[Week1010101]

Wow. That sucks. How the hell can Sonic NOT be protected by a Spin Dash? That's just a crime against nature!

By the way, and I wonder how many people already said this, the 1st game that features Sonic's Spin Dash in Sonic 1 is Sonic Jam for the Sega Saturn. Long Live the 6th Planet!

[Lautaro230]

what????



[ratchetrocks100]

And that's why lady bugs are bad luck.

[superblast3300]

i play sonic classic collection

[TJ123Hedgehog]

no u just suck at it

[xXMidoraiXx]

@TJ123Hedgehog You're completely missing the point.

[TJ123Hedgehog]

@xXMidoraiXx nope i beat that good game buddy your looking at the loylist sonic fan ever

[fzeromaster2]

I have that game and it sucked so hard...I threw it at the wall! Then it broke open.

[DaMostEnigmatic]

I beat Sonic 1 without any spin dash. I feel to use the spin dash in the first one takes away the challenge of how the game was meant to be

[amberthesuperfox]

fail lol

[RipperRooFanXZ]

and ultimate flash sonic

[mmffl123456]

I heard the GBA version was bad, but damn.

[carnyzzle]

And this is what happens if you use a console that doesn't have Blast Processing.

[pressstart66]

You can also get hurt if you spindash in knuckleschaotix 

[dwibs93]

The worst thing about this for me is that the people who made this shite port decided to hide behind the names of the makers of the ORIGINAL game.

Kinda pathetic...

[gamer4lyfe1985]

It's not a mess up. Motobug's just that awesome.

[ultimatedarkstorm]

Next Sonic game final boss: The Motobug

[UNSCparatrooper134]

dur HURD?

[TheRealThreeP]

They butchered this game when it came to spike hit detection. The Genesis original didn't cause you to take a hit when you touched the sides of the spikes.

[RunetheKoopa]

@TheRealThreeP You get hit if you touch the side of spikes!?

[TheRealThreeP]

@RunetheKoopa Yeah, 'fraid so. AllieRX87 pointed that out.

[michiyoyoshiku]

You could spin dash in sonic jam's Sonic 1 too

[MrAwesomenMario360]

Mario360: Maybe this was another one of Nintendo's attempts to insult Sonic

[BestfanX]

Motobug = Ultimate life form

[BETTYJOYA]

lol...

sonic did spindash..

[MultiNidis]

(sonic)spindash time. (enemy kills sonic)(sonic) oh fuck (died)

[superkeijikun]

Worse than Sonic 2006.

A claim I do not make lightly.

[dbn300100]

Actually, that also happened in sonic 1 nes pirate edition.

[rabidmedia1]

yeah... that's why I own a Genesis. much less BS you have to deal with.

[bad1boy34]

I don't know if this game is worse then Sonic 4/'06.

Can you walk up walls in this game?

[DinerSals]

@bad1boy34:

lol at you, troll fuck.

[bad1boy34]

@DinerSals You're pathetic, most likely very anxious in real life conversations, a loner, doesn't relate much to people, etc. and so you vent out your frustrations by replying to comments that are two months old while purposefully ignoring things like "sarcasm" for your own "enjoyment".

Wait, haven't I already seen you troll other YouTube videos? Yep, you're a complete keyboard warrior who doesn't have the courage to say what you say online in real life.

Good day, troll.

[DinerSals]

@bad1boy34:

Looks like I hit the troll's berserk button.

How sad.

[bad1boy34]

@DinerSals You're my current entertainment - I couldn't care less about your existance including your opinion.

[DinerSals]

@bad1boy34:

Little does the dumb ass know, that his own comment.

Doesn't make sense.

[bad1boy34]

@DinerSals I don't care.

[geekymarianne]

@bad1boy34, you can walk *through* walls in Sonic Genesis. With alarming regularity.

[bad1boy34]

@geekymarianne lololololol

I concede your point.

[lucascouto166]

10 is the good luck number for Sonic.

15 is the bad luck number for Sonic.

[legojimmie]

You all are missing the point--

this game is worse than MOTHER 1+2.

[luckymii24]

@legojimmie agreed

[scr515]

@legojimmie ......and the MOTHER/Earthbound series are bad...HOW?!

[legojimmie]

@scr515 They're not.

[tarkeke]

@legojimmie you mean the port right? the original mother games are outstanding.

[legojimmie]

@tarkeke The original ones are awesome. :D

[MsRafael98]

lol

[figment1988]

lol. this shameful attempt to re-make Sonic 1 is more abysmal than any Steve Reeves movie (yes, it was an Rocky Horror reference waiting to happen).

[sonicmaster743]

since when is the spindash powerless i have heard about this game i have played the mega drive version, the gba version has dreadful music especially starlight zone

[Jakkinator45]

gba dosent have BLAST PROCESSING

[Uru19861]

I did played both, and... I like more the Genesis version. Even if you cant spindash.

[MilesDude32]

...this game

was sold

in stores?

[jellywillreturn]

Ah, Sonic. The guy who looked as if he could dethrone Mario. Both games had two great sequels, and both had an expansion pack. Neither would quit. Then... the jump to 3D. Mario 64 stood out and Sonic R... meh. Mario was at the top again. Out came the promotional media, and while Mario made only stinkers, Sonic had Sonic SatAM, which was awesome. The race continued. Then this. And Sonic 2006. The fastest thing alive was now dead last, from two bad games and horrible writers for those games.

[classicrockrockz]

@jellywillreturn Sonic has great games like Sonic and the Secret Rings and Sonic Unleashed. Maybe Sonic 4 and Sonic Colors will bring him back.

[AirborneMuffins]

@classicrockrockz sonic rings and unleashed are NOT great, they are very playable, and both offer some degree of fun, but they both are filled with several design flaws (I AM a sonic fan, not a hater fyi) Sadly sonic hasnt had a truly great release since Sonic Adventure 2 (either version, they both rock)

[luckymii24]

@AirborneMuffins dude the reason gamers dont like todays sonic is because the prefer 2d grapics and style like sonic 1,2,and3 i played all the classic sonic games and i like them and all but let the kids today like there sonic even if the first games were better or more fun ok :D

[BlueChaos69]

killed by a motobug = EPIC FAIL

[eggbandicoot6]

wtf you can spindash in this game as long as you play this version. i don't own the game so i wouldn't know

[thegamerkid77]

but your not even sapose to charg your spindash in sonic 1 DAMN U GBA VERSHIN

[hoppyman11]

@thegamerkid77 vesion sorry i had to

[supersonic1x185]

@thegamerkid77

damn nintendo

[pivonovice]

@thegamerkid77 no im pretty sure he haked i cant do it

[troysson81]

I have this port but don't remember what it was like playing it. Just like Sonic 06 which I played again to remind myself why I stopped.

Well, I don't know where my Game Boy or this game is so I can't do the same for this. I think the vid says it all, though.

[hazzardwantcookies]

lol i wanted to like sonic 06 because of the music and how great it looked but i just couldnt lol

[DoctorEggmanNega]

To this day, some parts of Sonic 06 still look amazing. And overall, I enjoy how it looks even thought technically it doesn't push the 360/PS3 limits. And the music is awesome. But it can't cover up how bad the game was.

[Drunksonic]

@DoctorEggmanNega The game offed itself with a bad story.

[MrSambaboy]

Ok, you have to be fucking kidding me.

[Psychology]

Since when can Sonic do a spindash in Sonic 1? Or is this that GBA version (which I heard was bad)?

[DoctorEggmanNega]

Yeah, this is the GBA version which is really bad. The full title was "Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis" often referred to as "Sonic Genesis", sadly. And as for emulations of the original Sonic the Hedgehog, he can do a spindash in the Sonic Jam compilation as well as in ROM hacks of it.

[Psychology]

I see. I knew it looked different from the version I played.

[20123974]

The reason they put it in is possible because the move was in the old version but in a different way. In the original StH on Genesis they did not know how to cross functions for the first game, so the spinning in 1 place was never added. If you pressed down while running he done the same move without the charge up.

In sonic 2 they found a new more advanced way of doing it, making it a whole new attack.

[gamegod9000]

This makes me think if the old version (no spindash) was better that way.

[20123974]

kinda, you couldn't stop and spin dash,. but start running the press down.

[AoBloodhound]

It was the late birthday gift, the worst Sonic port to ever exist, as if we needed ANOTHER ONE.

[DoctorEggmanNega]

There aren't many real ports of Sonic 1. Most re-releases of this are emulation.

[Nintendosegafan91]

Sonics 15th birthday was a bad year for the hedgehog.

[DoctorEggmanNega]

Sega was like a cheap father who couldn't give their son a proper celebration.

[20123974]

Actually it went to hell cause one of the sonic teams co-founders quit the week before.

They have all since quit.

[DoctorEggmanNega]

I dunno if that was the reason, but Yuji Naka did leave in the middle of Sonic's 15th.

[20123974]

Shinobu Toyoda (the original games project manager) quit in 97

Naoto Oshima the man who designed the characters a quit in 1999

Hirukazu Yasuhara who designed the satges left in 2002.

Yuji Naka left in 2006

Those are the 4 people who first started and ran the Sonic team, 2,3 and 4 being the founders.

They left cause of how sega treated them and there work, even though there team is what made Sega so big. Not enough room in this post for more details.

[DoctorEggmanNega]

Interesting, thanks for the info.

[fawfulmark2]

also the guy who Created the Hedgehog Engine left too. Sonic is literally falling apart.

[20123974]

The "Hedgehog" engine was developed for the new generation of games. It didn't go well with enough fans, so the axed the engine.

[Axxidous]

@fawfulmark2

This is the chance for new people to come in and work on Sonic. By this I mean new people who really like Sonic and want to do great things with him, they could come in and finally work on the games themselves to save Sonic :P

[Axxidous]

@20123974

They should've taken the rights to Sonic like Mighty's creator did and used Sonic as the mascot of Probe.. or Prope.. what was it? I don't hear about his new company much.

[SuperAwesomeTiago]

@20123974 Sega doesn't give a shit about fans and good work anymore.All they care about is making money out of little kids.

[legendariosoul]

YES !!!!!

[Fortenium]

@Nintendosegafan91 Sega made it up to him on his twentieth birthday. It took them over five years, but was a rather good payoff.

[banana360]

Worst. Sonic port. Ever.

[RabidClone]

This pretty much sums up Sonic Genesis as a whole. You think it has potential to go somewhere, but you never even start moving.

[retrozim]

I hated this port. It's almost as bad as Sonic 06. It's complete shit.

[DoctorEggmanNega]

IMO, this was worse than Sonic 06, plus it was a big slap-in-the-face to oldschool Sonic fans like myself.

[retrozim]

It was to mine, Sonic was the first game I ever played XD

[legendariosoul]

I am with you on that !!! >=( !!!

[4everOscar]

wow, why have a spin dash at all here?

[DoctorEggmanNega]

To demonstrate the poor collision detection,

[Pageboy72]

This game sucked.

[HamtaroSonicHedgehog]

The GBA Hardware is not Weak it Can handle SNES and Genesis Games if you look at The Sonic 1 GBA hack that's at Sonic Retro You can see that it was perfectly ported I even have a video of that Hack check it out in my channel.

[WorldWalker128]

WTF I remember that!

[NuggetPumpkin]

8==D~~~~~~o

[SONIC4964]

??? This spindash hits the enemys at 0:07

[SuperJustinChannel]

Lol. Why does everyone hate this port again?

[Billitrance]

Im not sure if your being sarcastic but i`ll answer anyway. It has loads of glitches, seriously lags and as you can see you can now die even when doing a spin dash.

[RabidSonicFan]

... and that's why you should get the PSP port instead.

[LeviathanRX]

Well... the original Sonic 1 doesn't even have a spin dash anyways.

[DoctorEggmanNega]

It did in Sonic Jam.

[livesruinedbymusic]

I have this game...it sux!

[DerianX19]

SERIOUSLY this game is the SHIT

[boobidee]

My Version is decent. Must be where you get

Mine lets u hurt robots in spindash

Mine dosent lag.

Mine is like i said,decent

[Meganeo5]

Your Version is maybe not GBA

Yours is maybe Genesis

Yours is maybe Emulator of Genesis / Mega Drive

Like I said, yours is maybe not GBA

[boobidee]

I have a copy.

GBA Is too weak to emulate Mega Drive/Genesis....

[robokill387]

no it isn't. it can handle SNES games fine, and sonic advance requires more than megadrive games do.

[boobidee]

Those too were ports, Sonic Advance played close too MD/Genesis games

[DoctorEggmanNega]

GBA isn't so much weak, it's just a completely different kind of system than the Genesis/Megadrive. And so making a good Sonic game requires skillful programming like what you see in the Sonic Advance games. Not a rush job like this crappy port.

[boobidee]

Well Sonic Genesis was close to realese date and there were not finished do they hasd to rush it.

[redsupersonicninja]

Sonic Labyrith had a spindash like that

[bruvazsan]

0:03 - A ha

0:05 - I am going to use the spindash

0:06 - You most... D'oh

[DDRandITGdontsuck]

EPIC FAIL at 0:06

[marioandsonic3339]

Moral:Think what you do for a Sonic celebation cuase sonic genises on GBA was it's 15th and failed i just hope they don't fail on the 20th i mean the GBA version was a disgrace to the orginal

[lumpycheesegames]

lol good point. If the 15th was like this, imagine what the 20th will be like! Though it may be good...

[TheMVRules]

This is the GBA version of Sonic 06.

They both was released in 2006 and they both was a failure.

[Jimmy57452]

Actually, this is the GBA version of the original 1991 Sonic game for the Sega Genesis console. The original game was kinda glitchy and hard, but you're right, the GBA version sucked ass.

[BJtheBassist]

Are you Talking about the spike bug?

I just thought of them being hardasses...

[TheUniqueMaster]

This same thing happens in Somari, althrough that one is a pirated game and this is a official one.

[EveFan2008]

Sonic 1 GBA Ruined the music... and the Spindash charge doesn't defend you? That's bull. I bought that game and i seriously regret it.

[MetaRLfunkyman123]

sega quickly rushed to make another perfect sonic game for the GBA, but it turned out bad :|

[MOUPIMOUPI]

Fail, Sega didn't actually program this.

[DoctorEggmanNega]

But they are still the ones to blame for this being unfinished.

[LeonSKennedy828]

That rendition of the music makes my ears bleed x.x

[guayo1982]

hahaha thats not posible

[booho1]

i know i may sound like an idiot, but i got sonic 1 on my iPod, and i can't do a spin dash, dose anyone here know how?

[sikthehedgehog]

The original game didn't have the spindash. I didn't play the iPod version, but don't be surprised if it can't be done. Not all ports/convertions have the spindash.

Also that bug is stupid -_-'

[guayo1982]

run and press down while sonic is running

[TomoAlien]

In original Sonic 1, you can't do spindash. It's a feature added in Sonic 2.

[DoctorEggmanNega]

However, you can do a spindash in the Sonic Jam version of Sonic 1.

[kilonardodicaprio]

You can in the GBA version of Sonic 1 as well.

[TomoAlien]

This IS the GBA version of Sonic 1.

[kilonardodicaprio]

I know.

[Nomad9]

EPIC FAIL.

[SpeedingHedgehog]

That's stupid...

[xradiojasx]

Lame. I'm glad I didn't get this game.

[IsaacNorman]

That's fucking bullshit! In the original sonic games for the genesis, it would defend you, why not here?

[Snotnarok]

This is why we don't play Sonic on GBA and we BURN it. Then we go play it on Genesis

[shadicthahedgehog]

or the gamecube ;)

[Snotnarok]

Or any port that doesn't piss in the originals face. This port was so horrible I actually microwaved it, and believe me that was both amazingly funny at the time and therapeutic, in retrospect I might have been able to get 5 bucks for it on amazon but oh well!.

[kakaroto061]

@Snotnarok

Just because this game sucks doesn't mean all Sonic games on GBA sucks. Sonic Advance 1, 2 & 3 already outweigh this game so there are more good Sonic games over one crappy one.

[Snotnarok]

@kakaroto061 I wasn't talking about those clearly. I said this port, port being a game brought to another console. The Advance games are not ports, they were developed for the GBA 100% and are quite good, I should know I have them. This game however I want again, so I can destroy it, it's insulting to the original.

[carnyzzle]

And this is why sonic perfected his spin dash in sonic the hedgehog 2

[bluemew22]

Sonic, I feel for you man, just leave SEGA and come over the internet to my computer, I'll let you out of dataworld using my Wet-Dry Matter Converter and you will never have to endure such failness again.

Japanese SonicCD Game Over Music to Sonic:

Well that just sucks for ya!

[fanoultimate]

...and thats why sonic 1 on gba sucks xD

[Inuboy1000]

well that sucks

[TrainScott]

I noticed when I played Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Mega Collection when I did the spindash passed the fish that jump at me when when rises up I would get hit.

[lumpycheesegames]

Yeah that happened to me but on the XBox Marketplace version.

[miepigen1]

Poor Sonic.. Maybe we should buy him a piece of HELL!-- I mean cake! :P

[DoctorEggmanNega]

Yeah, this WAS a piece of HELL. But yes, a ca-Ake would be nice.

[Snotnarok]

If this is that crap GBA version, I microwaved it after getting it. It was horrible compared to the genesis version. Looked the same in screen shots but failed in performance.

[pokerockmario123]

worst game ever

[SonicTheJackrabbit]

WTF? He was doing a Spin Attack he should have killed that badnik! This version of Sonic sucks shit! Damn you Sammy-Sega developers!

[DoctorEggmanNega]

Yup. Just one of many things in this game that makes absolutely no sense.

[GuiltlessGear]

"Happy Fucking Birthday, Sonic."

[DoctorEggmanNega]

Seriously. He got screwed over for his 15th Anniversary. Way to treat your mascot, Sega.

[qwerty02rawr]

epic fail, Sega!!

[hyperShadicDhedgehog]

how is that possible that made no sense

[StreakXD]

Eww, that remake is icky! D:

[alvieao2]

The 2006 Next-Gen game and this horrible GBA version of the Genesis/Mega Drive classic both represent what I call Sonic: The Birthday Bust.

[Darksonicthefirst]

why would sega this whyyyyy

[animefreak86]

Phail sonic... phail

[owth]

i gave this game 2.1/10.0

[rk2059342]

oh man that should be lower

[7Marx7]

1 more reason to hate this game.

[LusterPurge94]

yeah, 1 more to add to the thousands that already exist. lol

[DoctorEggmanNega]

Yeah, I wanted to do a video on all the glitches, but it'd be too much since there are so many.

[LightEffexor]

Epic fail.

[spudgunuk]

I suggest you all do what Spax3 did. Burn this cartridge to hell; where it belongs.

Nice vid dude.

[DoctorEggmanNega]

I traded it in when I got my Wii. :)
