It went from Sonic x to unleashed

You know, this would unironically make a great premise for a Sonic game, with maybe the cynicism toned back a little. You start off with an intro stage, with all the usual Sonic stuff going on with the colors and the speed and the attitude, but after reaching the end off the stage and defeating the intro boss (potentially Eggman), we skip thirty years into the future. All the Sonic characters are the same, and haven't aged a day, but the world around them changed. Eggman stopped being a world-conquering nuisance and became a businessman. His robotics made life easier for everyone, the animals moved into the city, everybody is mostly content, but the main cast had grown apart, and there are no more adventured to be had, so they live mundane, boring lives (though maybe not as depressing ones as depicted here). Then suddenly, a new group of robotic villains show up out of the blue, take control of Eggman's robotic "helpers", and now the main characters have to come out of retirement for one last big adventure. Then, during the story, Sonic gets more and more fretful, fearing that once the threat is taken care of, it *really* will be the last adventure. The characters can discuss this, it could lead to friction and conflicts, and in the end it would turn out that the villains were actually side-characters from the old games who conspired in order to bring back the old status quo of a fast blue hedgehog chasing a fat man on a weird helicopter, just so that they could go back to their glory days, the rest of their peaceful society be damned. Sonic and company could once again reflect on this reveal, how time waits for no one and change is natural, and after defeating the bad guys and restoring peace, it could end with some kind of uplifting note about not clinging to one's nostalgia, looking forward, and living a fulfilling life in the now instead of trying to return to their youth when everything seemed simpler. But then we'd have a post-credits scene about Sonic and co. in their daily lives, more lively and balanced than they were at the beginning, and just when you'd think it's an aesop about accepting boring middle-class life, they come together at the end of the day to plan some kind of expedition with the motto, "The world is a big place. If adventure doesn't come to you, go outside and find it!". Wink to the camera, end scene.

I always thought that Sonic would have some semblance of 4th wall breaking self awareness when it comes to his age. Mario hasn't changed really at all, but Sonic literally has eras of his life portrayed in games and comics and now movies. I think seeing Sonic still persist and be as carefree as he can, as adventurous as always with a tad more wisdom is actually really cool. Very nice video.

Funny and questionable stuff aside, Amy is the only girl in the series who is known with a hammer and the song seems to be meant to be sung from Sonic's perceptive. Unless the animation and song are meaning different things, it's likely not what you think. Your argument are they are not married, the only real idea of that is the missing ring on Sonic's finger... That can be that Sonic is too lazy or uncaring to wear it or something. Like "I didn't wear a ring when I was young" type of thing possibly.

Jhonny Gioeli is around 54

References and cool tidbits (hopefully minimising obvious ones): 0:00 Opening being Sonic 2's SEGA opening. 0:05 Sonic's pose being the same from Sonic Generations' intro. 0:10 Knuckles recreates the face from Mania Adventures. 0:14 Night of the Werehog BG, with Chip holding the ice cream he gets from the Ice Cream Vendor in Unleashed 0:22 The Avatar from Sonic Forces' reveal trailer, framed picture of Yuji Naka frowning, Monster Can on the table. 0:28 Roboticised versions of the Chao Machine from SA1DX/SA2B, the robots being from Sonic Heroes. 0:30 Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games poster in BG, Amy has a Pico Pico Hammer tattoo, at 0:26 there's a medal labelled "Rio" from the Olympic Games and the middle trophy are the Emblems from SA1/SA2 0:37 "Doesn't want to go on Adventure 3" 0:38 Scrap Brain(?) in the background producing pollution 0:40 Doge with... an interesting brand name. The text was grafitti'd over with "Epic Fail" at the bottom. And of course, Sonic is delivering Chilli Dogs. Also, That Bird Dude from the Sonic OVA (I tried finding their name, no dice since he's mostly called "mister", "sir" or "old man") 0:44 San Fransisco's Bridge from the SA2 concept art, found in Generations I believe? The cars are from another game, but I don't remember which. 0:46 Knuckles coming out of the pothole like in SA2's post-Aquatic Mine cutscene. This one might be a bit of a stretch, but his favourite food is grapes, and he's holding a wine bottle. Also, Tails recreating the Dad from Coraline. 0:47 Evolved Cheese holding a cheese sandwich. 0:54 Overall Rating, the Rank and "Mission Cleared" text from SA2, the Chao image from the Goodbye Chao screen. "You're Too Slow" on the signpost. 1:02 Popsicle Sonic. 1:04 Sonic's crouching pose. I don't remember where from, it looks familiar. 1:10 Sonic recreates the pose from Sonic X before he turns into Dark Sonic. 1:17 Faceplant from the Black Knight. 1:24 Nosescratch pose from way too many games to mention. 1:26 Do I need to mention this one? 1:27 Sonic recreates the famous "Derp Sonic" from Sonic Unleashed 1:30 Not a reference but I'll add it anyway, he drops the 3 rings from the delivery. 1:33 Posessed Amy from that one Sonic X scene, Eggman recreates his Sonic 2/3K run 1:35 Another... reference. 1:39 Sticks the Badger lookalike on the far right, and I believe in the pool on the left is a character from the IDW comics? Again, couldn't find 'em. 1:43 Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam plushies. The Chao Doctor from SA2, "It's No Use" on the paper, Spiritual Blaze image in reference to her "death" in '06. I feel like the "Chao Therapy" image is in reference to that one meme image with the zoomed-in birdseye perspective, but I don't know the name nor origin. 1:44 The donkey and cats from Lone Digger's 'Caravan Palace' thanks to @James Hughes and @Bart Plays Stuff for pointing it out. 1:45 Sonic and Shadow being served by Fallout Guy. 1:46 "Egg Casino" being styled after Casinopolis from Sonic Adventure, and the Hint Box from Knuckles'/Rouge's SA levels saying "LOL" 1:49 Ecco the Dolphin poster on Big's wall, underneath it being a Dreamcast VMU. I think, since it looks more like a Tamagotchi. Underneath those is a Mega Drive/Genesis and a bunch of games. Also he drinks coke.... References in the Lyrics: "Crushing 30s" like Crush 40. Kinda obvious, but... 0:23 "At the speed of sound" referencing "Rolling around at the speed of sound" from City Escape. 0:38 "Green Hill is..." yeah. 0:48 "A hero with no rings in his hand?" referencing Seven Rings in Hand from Secret Rings. 1:04 "Scraping your brain" like Scrap Brain? Is this one a stretch? 1:14 "No time to live, no time to learn" referencing Live and Learn. 1:23 "Grind another rail" obvious, but the several grinding mechanics. 1:30 "Like a truck" referencing the Truck Chase from SA2. 1:35 "A city from whith there's no escape" referencing City Escape.

He's worked hard, and it's only gonna get worse... ...unless something goes right in his Frontiers debut. Actually, how COME he doesn't have enough rings? He's found millions over his games, a couple thousand shouldn't be that bad. *And fuck the guy who orders his food across a city to get it within 15 seconds only to pay 4 rings.*

Amy being Sonic's legit girlfriend/housewife keeping his ass grounded and having his back even if it's begrudgingly is oddly funny and adorable, if only to see her scare Eggman off so he'd leave Sonic alone for once.
