Melissa Joan Hart rocks at Sonic 2

[2lovejune]

I really hate the time limit for playing on there. I would've played forever and if he turned me around I would say f@st off. It would be really cool to have a real video game prototype.

[bardhi09]

She wasnt actually half bad considering this is probably the 1st time she ever played Sonic(or a Videogame Period)

I mean we all sucked when we played Sonic for the first time

[Roguestandards]

in 30 seconds i would have been at the end of the leve

[joemchang]

I think I remember watching this a long time ago...

[ATENakaATON]

I like Nick Arcade FAIL 2 - Melissa Joan Hart, that mess had me cracking up

[rebafan19]

This was in 1992, she was on the pilot episode of the NBC show Hot Country Nights on November 24, 1991

[EdwardChrisvonMuir]

How the hell was anyone supposed to know about spindashing?

[charizardoreo]

even if she didnt know how to use spindash all she had to to was not jump before the loop thing, i bet i could do this without a spin dash

[charizardoreo]

i wonder if she looks back on this and thinks wow i got to play an early version of sonic 2

[jayrod2]

@charizardoreo I doubt it lol

[SuperJonesable]

Lol I was hoping she would have been good...



[Karmalize]

i really was hoping that melissa joan hart rocks at sonic 2 :(

[ScoobieD0]

Wow... talk about memories.... I thik I remember this show! O_O



[YamiSatoshi]

1:04 The exact moment when she was officially fucked. She was SO CLOSE!

[Megamanrp]

what happened was that this was the demo and nobody new about pressing down and jump to do the spin dash so that is why she could not go around

[icekid760]

ONLYUSEmeFEET brought me here!

[edgartheincredible]

is she famous?

[edgartheincredible]

I luv u onlyusemefeet

[ONLYUSEmeFEET]

I wonder if any of my subs will comment prepare for an army of FEETSCRIBERS.

[ChronoArcAile4000]

Geeze Melissa sucks at sonic games,all she had to so was use the Spindash to get over that loop X_X

[ONLYUSEmeFEET]

@ChronoArcAile4000 Nobody knew what spin dash did back then she had no idea it was in the game.

[kargaroc386]

well at least she was able to play this version 15 years before we were able to

[RSCNyx]

This...

This ain't the right music to the zone...

What's going on?!

[ThunderPower]

@RSCNyx This is a prototype of Sonic 2. You can download the version that was actually in this episode and play it on an emulator.

[RSCNyx]

@ThunderPower Ah, okay. I figured that, but still, was so throwing me off.

[YamiSatoshi]

@RSCNyx Sonic 2's Emerald Hill Zone was built off of Sonic 1's Star Light Zone, which is where the music came from.

[THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Damn this girl should have thought more.

[NPMafiaSanta]

Sonic uses hyperspeed to run

[rumpeltiezerwash]

ferguson is a bitch

[HypersonicHero]

hERe we ARe SonIC

[tailsadventure]

at 0:18 proof that he is called robotnik. They never should have changed his name.

[Mcheetah]

To be fair, the first game didn't have the Spin Dash and any one who DID play the first one wouldn't have known how to use it in the sequel...

[SomethingRules]

why didn't somebody tell the poor girl how to spindash. i feel so bad for her

[hiredmercenary]

Ferguson was a pimp

[Lv100WereCactus]

lol she actually did better then 90% of the others.

[milkmanv1]

I wanted her to play R-Type so bad...

[OverlordArcana]

Ah this takes me back but I just noticed the music is the wrong Zone. lol who was the other team? Roundhouse or Hey Dude?

[supersaver87]

@OverlordArcana

The other team were the two people who played the parents on Clarissa.

[justplainruk]

I hear the losers from Nick Arcade had to spend an hour with Phil Moore backstage while he sang random stupid songs. Few survived.

[DarkSonicGold12]

25 rings? for EXPERT?!?! that sounds more like easy as hell to me.

[xMoJox]

25 rings THATS IT!?? LOL!



[wolfboy527]

At least she did better than most of the contestants on this show, which is saying a lot. LOL.

[Admercial]

I remember seeing this episode as a kid and being so mad at missing them play Sonic.

[Theen89]

To be fair, she was a lot better than a lot of the other kids on this show

[jballen90]

I'm not even sure that she could use her powers to help her be better at this game. :|

[sweetnessledda]

The word "Rocks" in the title is pretty misleading. She did awful.

[1282930210]

@sweetnessledda

not sure if you're trolling

[sweetnessledda]

@1282930210 Nope, not trolling. She lost the challenge and didn't seem to do anything but run to the right. Granted that was basically all you could do in games back then but with a little more thought she could of gotten enough rings before she even got to that loop.

[1282930210]

@sweetnessledda

no, I'm saying the title's meant to be sarcastic

[sweetnessledda]

@1282930210 Well it fails at that.

[Schizima]

She could spin my balls any day of the week.

[Magitek1112]

Remember, back then Sonic 2 wasn't even out yet, and the spin dash wasn't in Sonic 1, and it seems like the controls weren't explained to them.

[michiyoyoshiku]

Conversely Salem the cat rocks at this game

[onetrueaddama]

What kills me is that I seem to remember to the left of the loop is a bounce pad that would have given her the speed to get around =/ She got so close, even without spin dash.

[bhoneyb11]

I'm pretty sure . . . .by then . . . they had implemented what is called a spin dash.

[MrKing8050]

this should be titled Melissa Joan Hart GETTING ROCKED at Sonic 2

[NeoTStyle]

Whoa, it really is Clarissa.

I can let this slide because I lvoed her show as a child and she was always cute. :3

[OpurumD]

She sucks ass.

[ReesiePuffs64]

You push down and A...ain't that hard to do a spin dash.

[MWCfan78]

She couldn't collect 25 rings in Emerald Hill? a retarded 3rd grader with downs could do that with his eyes closed! Come on, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, I thought you were better than that!!!! There's something called spin dash. Use it to get around the loop!

[J5MARLON]

Melissa Joan Hart never played Sonic 1, how can you not know how to pass the loop.

[goodSylar]

is that a young Rick Astley?



[viacommustdie4]

was there no spin dash in the prototype?

[BrickCity4eva]

@viacommustdie4 I honestly don't think so!

[NYz3R0dAY]

@BrickCity4eva Actually, there is.

look for "Sonic the hedgehog 2 nick arcade rom", the download is at sonic retro.

[BrickCity4eva]

@NYz3R0dAY ohh really!!!

[NYz3R0dAY]

@BrickCity4eva yeah. apparently, she didn't know she could do that, as the original Sonic 1 didn't have the spindash

[BrickCity4eva]

@NYz3R0dAY haahhaha

[tranquelmischief]

Hey its Clarissa and Ferg face.

[BboyStudios97]

You can tell the host is getting annoyed.

[AtomiXStudios]

SPIN DASH!!!!!!!!!!!

[iNomUrNoms]

"Expert challenge"?? Dude I get about 200 in just the speedrun.

[MrShootinputin]

Thumbs up if you wish they bring this show back. 

[kaitengiri]

Whatever happened to her anyways?

[genwave]

:( She didn't know about the spin dash yet.

[Rudyfourth]

@genwave She was playing Sonic 1 before this!

[dudeitsjoe]

She probably failed because Phil's talking distracted her. I hate it when people are talking while I'm trying to pay attention to a game.

[specterkev]

Sabrina's s magic couldn't help her with that

[puccarocks123]

Why does everyone on this show suck at Sonic so much...?

[youknowwhoyouare8]

@puccarocks123 Because Sonic SUCKS

[specterkev]

@youknowwhoyouare8 I bet you are like 13..

[youknowwhoyouare8]

@specterkev Almost, I was 12 when I banged your mom

[specterkev]

@youknowwhoyouare8 yeeeeah.. lame comeback there little boy

[youknowwhoyouare8]

@specterkev lol, little boy? fuck you, you fat fuckin greaseball. I bet you love little boys dont you? I am old enough to stomp a mud hole in your fat ass and you can count on that fucker.

[Zalman1337]

@youknowwhoyouare8 Quit spergin' out, manchild.

[EnigmaHood]

@youknowwhoyouare8 You would know a lot about sucking.

[youknowwhoyouare8]

@EnigmaHood like your blogs?

[youknowwhoyouare8]

@EnigmaHood BTW DNF is out. Suck it down bitch.

[EnigmaHood]

@youknowwhoyouare8 So what? I always knew it was coming out, it's just going to be a failure, like you are.

[youknowwhoyouare8]

@EnigmaHood Dude, we get it, your a pussy who has a extreme distaste for anyone who disagrees with you or is vocal about something you care about, ex: your butt fucking obsession with Sonic the Hedgehog.

[EnigmaHood]

@youknowwhoyouare8 Lol sure, I love Sonic, but no 'm not into butt fucking like you and your father. But in any case, why are you looking at videos of Sonic if you aren't a fan?

I actually want DNF to be a great game, I like playing good games. Who would want a bad game? I just know it's going to be a failure because 3DR fucked up. Simple as that.

[youknowwhoyouare8]

@EnigmaHood Because I was watching Nick Arcade videos and this piece of shit came up. Sonic blows, he sucked back then and SEGA lets him suck dick for quarters now.

[EnigmaHood]

@youknowwhoyouare8 Lol you were searching for Nick Arcade videos...

[TheGameRage1]

@youknowwhoyouare8 Fuck you! Sonic is the mother fuck'n shit! Dare I say, better than Mario! You only hate Sonic because you suck at it.

[bigbeeftomatoes]

sonic, of course, uses hyper speed to run

[TheEscapedBalloon]

She was awesome as Clarissa, and awesome as Sabrina, but as a gamer? Fail, even for never playing this game.

[Cyclonus84]

Man this show was the shit. but looking back at the games they played I just chuckle.

[ashtonsoulfire]

Wow....they are playing sonic 1 level one with level five music with a sonic 2 lable on the machine???? FAIL

[TheEscapedBalloon]

@ashtonsoulfire

It's the Beta version of Sonic 2.

[supersonicdude91]

THAT IS SO EASY

[MisterTTG]

Holy shit, are they playing Sonic 2 Beta?

[ThunderPower]

@MisterTTG yep

[lilmatey2]

@ThunderPower Ive download that actually beta

[mcsvideos]

@MisterTTG No, its an early version of the game than Beta, also called Sonic Alpha or Sonic Nick Arcade.

[chosentonessournotes]

The saddest thing is that THAT was probably the best Sonic/Sonic 2 playthrough on that entire show.

[bigolwhiteguy]

sonic of course uses hyper speed to run

[alexistheman102657]

We need this show back!

[MetaITV]

she looks like they girl from harry potter

[Atmarika]

I remember this show lol I used to love watching it when I was a kid.

[tjcco2005]

she is so damn sexy

[megamanfan3]

Someone made a hack of Sonic 2 to have act 1 of Emerald Hill Zone to be similar to the Nick Arcade version.

[ultimatechakralives]

Clarissa may explain it all, but can Melissa explain why she sucks at this game?

[ObanKing46]

@ultimatechakralives heheh!! xDD

[AnEternalEnigma]

It was so weird seeing Ferguson be normal.

[ryanproductions687]

@MrSteve5566 Exactly why the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 wasn't released in america on 1986

[aavallone]

@ApeOverlord007 He says Robo Nick almost always. This is the only time I've seen him say Robotnik.

[DavidDHismyname]

Considering the horrific performances of other contestants at the time, she did pretty good. Considering how you don't even need the spin dash to get 25 rings in the first thirty seconds of Sonic 2, she could have done much better.

[Elijapayn]

i still have this game for my sega gennies and i'm

[iamaveryuglyboy]

she is so stupid= =

[MrAngryPumpkin]

Shes cute

[tubeguy918]

I could've done it in 10 seconds. Maybe Fifteen if I Needed it.

[lolzvid]

Pause at 0:04

[SergeantLuke]

To be fair, she probably didn't know you could Spin Dash, considering you couldn't in the first game and nobody mentioned to her that you could.

[DanTelebi]

@SergeantLuke I agree with this.

[dapperfan44]

@SergeantLuke I agree, at the time this was a new game and there's a possibility she hadn't played before and didn't know you could spin dash. But I guarantee you most every kid that went on that show loved to pick Sonic.

[cottagechskitty]

@dapperfan44 Not only that but this was a beta. A very early beta

[JDJeffery]

How hard is it to obtain 25 rings in zone one of Sonic 2?

[kojikatsuya]

Clarissa.... explain this.

[figment1988]

@ApeOverlord007 Phil Moore was notorious for butchering descriptions for many of Nick Arcade's games. In some cases where contestants played King of the Monsters, he would often describe Beetle Mania as a cockroach (which is not true as Beetle Mania is actually a giant stag beetle)

[Luigi84289]

Looked good even back then.

[CobaltBW]

In her defense, probably no one knew what a spindash was back then.

[Luigi84289]

@CobaltBW Sure we did. My homie showed me the first time I played the game. Everyone loved that innovation. It was common knowledge.

[HyperShadicX]

@CobaltBW Quite true. She could have played Sonic 1 and was used to the lack of spindash. The least the host could have done was say WHAT the spindash was and HOW to use it :V

[TheGullibleParrot]

Furry woodland friends?

[RobochaoXX]

lol

[Yoritoshi]

I wish they showed more of the beta level, but noooo, she had to get stuck at the loop. XD

[dj09492]

Ayo! stfu its juss a game. Lol yall not gone mess with my clarissa :( -_-

[anthonyburghely]

i wonder if she ever let ferguson bang her

[sonicheroes777]

Expert's Challenge? Unfitting name.

[MrBurgundy76]

SPIN DASH DAMN IT!!!!! ARRGGH!!!!

And is this a demo version?

[ginamarienavarra]

i wanna pull out my genesis and start playing this game.

[Kingofprinces85]

She was horrible at playing the game but she seemed to be excited to play it.

[scorchx3000]

weird, the stage music is star light from sonic 1.

[jcgamer107]

Was this like a special Nick cast-member episode? Or was this before she had a show on there?

[coldlampin]

Multiple zones. Amazing.

[LicenciadoRaulVarela]

Hahaha, after Sabrina: The Teenage Witch, nobody remembers her... what a shame :(

[JavonteTreble]

@ApeOverlord007 LMAO! Robo Nick!

[dudecool320]

damn she sucks

[TheN1K0L4Z]

Her first mistake: She forgot to tuck and roll at the Snail badnik.

Second mistake: She forgot that the early prototype included a Spindash.

I tried taking the Expert Challenge (unofficialy, of course), and beat it in 18 seconds flat. Beat that, Groudon0199!

[Draknfyre]

@TheN1K0L4Z

She "forgot" the early prototype included a spindash.

She forgot that a product she had never played before had a feature she didn't know about.

This show was before the internet explosion. The most a person heard about a game before it was released was a magazine ad or article, a TV commercial, and maybe if they were lucky, someone talking to someone who knew someone at a company.

If you weren't a gamer, you wouldn't know anything at all

So, how ridiculous does that sound now?

[clone63742]

She just used her witch powers! :)

[Themastercode1235]

1:15 . boost up dumbass

[biohazard724]

Star Light Zone theme from Sonic 1

[xfreddythegreatx]

lol i wish i was in this sit when i was younger, when i saw this show it pissed me off how ignorant these are at these games... I would have be a recurring champ. Genesis games are my specialty! I would have busted a sonic 2 glitch in the game lol... that i know as a kid.

Super R-Type is prob the most fucked up game to put there, its hard in it of itself. lol.. Not een with one credit u can make one level.

[fluffywolf08]

psh i would bet them all i kick ass at that game!

[mdog1357]

Every kid should be able to play original Sonic games at a decent level.....this is sad

[ModelJames13]

They should've told her about the spin dash.

[Nakasoul]

Use the fucking spin dash, love!!

[ZEROEVILDARKCOOL]

...YOU PEOPLE ARE UNFAIR. SHE PROBABLY HAD TIME TO PLAY IT BEFORE THEM WHILE THEYRE PLAYING IT FOR THEIR FIRST TIME. AS IVE SAID IN MY MMORPG DAYS, "EVERYONE WAS A NOOB ONCE", SO IN A SENSE WE'RE ALL NOOBS. AT SOMETHING. AT LEAST. LETS SEE YOU DO SOMETHING YOUVE NEVER DONE BEFORE AND THEN HAVE EVERYONE LAUGH AT YOU FOR SUCKING AT IT. ITS THE SAME SHIT. I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE GAVE THEM A LITTLE PRACTICE OR SOME IDEA OF WHAT THEY WERE DOING...WONDER IF THEY DO THAT WITH JEOPARDY CATEGORIES

[Sonic2lover]

If you pause at 1:04 You can see a spring at the bottom! Why Is that person doing it the hard way?

[Haruchan2010]

>Expert Challenge

>25 rings

TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[animeaddict000]

that bitch knows nothing of sonic

[ln4mant]

Melissawbreena should have used her pre-teenage witch powers to make Sonic do an Air Spinning Strike move.

[Draknfyre]

@ln4mant

She was 22 when she did Clarissa, portraying a 16 year-old. She was way beyond teenaged when she did Sabrina.

[StephenByerly]

@Draknfyre What? She was15 when she started it. Born in 1976, and the show started in 1991.

[Draknfyre]

@StephenByerly

I remember hearing back when the show had gone off she was 22 when the show aired. I checked, you are right.

It was one of those "older than their role" facts, like Mark Hamill playing Luke Skywalker, who was 17 in the movies, but he was really 25 at the time.

[FMAfiend]

Melissa AND the host seem to be both Sonic fans. xD

[thejerseydog]

isn't her partner the kid that played her brother in Clarissa?

[Ludwin]

@thejerseydog hell yeah, FERGUSON

[sonicmaster110022]

yeah, she rocks. YEAH, JUMP OVER THE LOOP!! goooood idea!

[DarkLinkSkywalker]

The only reason she failed at that is because she wasn't yet aware that the spin dash existed.

Yeah, she sucks, but if she could just get through that loop it would have all worked out.

[Dogolife]

the background music is starlight zone from sonic 1 wtf and tails isn't there

[soylentgreen666]

@Dogolife I think they used prototypes for the games on Nick Arcade.
