Some years ago, I picked up the complete series of Sonic the Hedgehog because it was cheap and I was feeling nostalgic. A couple weeks ago, I decided I should actually watch the entire thing. I just finished the last episode. Way to go Sonic and crew for defeating Dr. Robotnik.

It wasn't as cool as I seem to remember it being. I guess some things just seem cooler when you're young, and some things still seem cool even if it's just the influence of nostalgia. Have you ever noticed that? Some people really love certain things because they grew up with it, but when they show it to someone else, they don't get what the big deal is. I'm thinking of movies specifically but it can apply to other things.

I will say this though, I feel like the quality improved over time. I guess mostly I liked having the back story that was provided from the episode where Sonic and Sally go back in time! Too bad it took three discs to get there... Watching the series really makes me want to play the old Sega Genesis games... I never did beat those... Because I kind of suck at them... Not going to lie.

You know what's going through my head right now? The music that plays everytime you fight Robotnik in the video games. Anyone else know what that sounds like? Anyone else concerned that I can remember what that sounds like?

Oh my goodness. You got to love youtube. Turns out I was thinking of Robotnik's theme from Sonic and Knuckles. Here, listen.




Now go listen to the one for Sonic and Sonic 2! Go! I must have played Sonic and Knuckles the most and that's why it stuck in my brain. Or I'm just weird. Or both. Who knows?
