- I figured we'd dip back into the mediocre again before this marathon ended. Whatever, let's get this over with so we can get to the...good stuff?

I can't believe Garrulous got thanosed, cancel blue marine zone
But the funny crab:(
Green Hill Zone: A faker.
Yellow Desert: Complete chaos.
Red Mountain: Aaaaa.
Silver Castle: Good Music, bad level.
Oh, don’t worry...
Blue Marine: H E L L.
WHY, BLUE MARINE, WHY.
(I’ve played it before, I feel your pain.)
@@rosetteinspace6574 We ALL do.
In a sick way Blue Marine is my favorite level of the game. Everything before it is so easy, it's kind of the only challenge in this game.
Yellow desert is just like sandopils just look at the ground
@@MoneyHoneyBunny yea but unfair is not a good thing
It's so weird and freaky that when Sonic's drowning countdown is finished, it actually removes your rings, one by one, rapidly.
Yeah i didn't notice that until re-watching the footage
Lol I see he let a little bit of his inner AVGN out at Blue Marine Zone
I grew up on that stuff. Definitely shaped my humor a little bit.
ik what u mesn
You're a poopyhead
Randy budderknubs yes i remember that
@@Garrulous64 What’s your opinion on the SEGA Steam event? Sonic will hopefully get something cool when his update comes out.
Reused Tube Gimmicks: *Exists*
Garrulous64: *Scrambled Egg Zone Flashbacks*
Congrats you just trigger a Vietnam flashback
Let's let Garr get a break from these Pipes and Tubes. He's seen enough.
Keisezrgs * chogh cough sonic boom Wii U cough hack weez*
ok i usually hate on "x: y:" memes or whatever but i'm glad SOMEONE managed to properly structure one
good on you
To quote SomeCallMeJohnny, *TUUUUBES!!*
As someone who’s played this game, I just want to say
I think I owe Labyrinth Zone an apology, I seriously didn’t know how good I had it.
Seriously FUCK Blue Marine Zone
its labyrinth zone but bad, if labyrinth zone wasnt bad enough
Labyrinth zone is bad.....
Blue Marine zone is worse....
I’m pretty sure “Sonic Lost Hope” after “Sonic Lost Cause.”
To give a slither of credit to this game, there actually are Air Bubbles in the Blue Marine Zone boss but only if Robotnik shoots the ground with an arrow when Sonic’s beneath him.
Not in the master system version because why have fun when u can have sonic blast on the sms
@@incognitiosaystransrights but there are? judging by gameplay videos of the ms version there are air bubbles.
I guess he just never gave time for Eggman to shoot the ground.
I think I first stumbled upon this game on Sonic Mega Collection+. Before then I didn't know this game existed despite having a GameGear and being a big Sonic fan. Man, it's probably the worst Sonic game imo. It feels like a bootleg.
Woah the lonely goomba watches garrulous 64 thats awesome. Also hows being stuck between 2 pipes
Hey, didn't you block me on Twitter cause I felt like your tweets were nothing but bitterness and misery to the point that you came off more as an angry Goomba than a lonely one except it wasn't funny and I genuinely was worried about you point is are you doing okay?
It totally does feel like one. Especially the Master System port, they tried so much and none of it works.
@@Garrulous64 That’s likely because it kinda is. It wasn’t made Sega instead it was made by TecToy who had the license to sell Sega consoles in Brazil. As such it was only sold in Brazil.
Nah, Sonic Jam for the tiger game.com is worst
Apparently this was uploaded at 3am in my country. So sonic blast is cursed
Oh boy did you ever trying to play it witch a ps2 controller.
@@tadeuszekpl I don't have a console haha. Thought of trying to emulate it on my phone but I didn't want to suffer
it is already
As a Brazilian I'm issuing an apology in the name of my country for us being responsible for the horrible Master System port.
On the bright side I do like the music for the first three zones and the boss battles.
All is forgiven lmao
I wonder why the Master System version has these screen-filling problems that the other Sonic's don't have (I'm referring to Sonic 1, 2 and Chaos) and some visual downgrades like less colors and less details in the background, it's almost as if TecToy had made a port in a hurry just to have something to release for the Master System in 1996. (Which makes sense since both Mega Drive and Sega Saturn had already been on the market for a long time and the Mega Drive was taking the place of Master System as "cheapest console option" for Brazilians )
But what makes me even more curious is why they ported Sonic Blast instead of Sonic Triple Trouble, which is considered the best 8-bit Sonic of all time.
Why does Sega make ALL the Game Gear games have 6 Chaos Emeralds? I let Sonic 2 slide since it came before it's Genesis release, but all the way ti'll now? What the Fu-
I heard of a theory of an alternate timeline where those games are the main canon as 06 states Elise kept an emerald for years but idk
I am just now realizing that we killed you off twice in the same video. Rip Gary, guess I’m taking over the channel.
You're going to do great things.
@@Garrulous64 were shifting to exclusively cover roguelites. Expect a huge boom when the new Isaac expansion drops
Looking forward to it lol
Fun Fact! This was my first Sonic game! I played the plug-n-play version from the mid-2000s. Yeah, its a bit jank, but I had a lot of fond memories of it.
WOAH GARRULOUS LOOK THE RINGS THEY’RE GOIN UP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUND THEY’RE PASSING THROUGH THE GROUND
Sonic Blast was truly a formidable opponent for Mario 64.
Notice how this is the only Game Gear/Master System Sonic review where he doesn’t show off a cool new remake in the works 🤔
No one wants to remake this abomination.
I do, I unironically do, so I can fix its bullshit lol. But that'll be years off since I have no gamedev experience atm.
@@thewitheredstriker consider me intrigued.
@@FixyFlow Thanks for your interest! I just feel bad that you'd have to wait a long time though, I'm not even close to getting started. For now it's in the concept phase =/
Sonic Blast Next is being developed
6:03 actually the name of the zones each begin with a type of colors Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, and Silver these colors relate to the Chaos Emerald found in their respective zone which mean Green Hill Zone is just Hill Zone and so on and so forth
edit: here's a tip on Blue Marine Zone if you want to speed run the game: when you go into those tubes don't do anything besides holding right on the d-pad to stop Sonic's momentum and slowly jump to the middle tubes and finally you escape from the waterhell and speaking of water if you are running out of air but you don't find an air bubble or a way to get up to the surface but you are close to a single tube go into it and wa la it restore the air meter the same way as a bubble
found ya
Sonic blast looks like a rip off of Sonic 3D blast that someone just used so they can make a bank off of it. But they didn’t know that Sonic 3D blast was terrible and they thought it was good because it was 3D
Sonic 3D Blast isn’t terrible. They did what they could.
@@joechristo2 Just because they worked hard on it doesn't mean it's good. It still sucks and is no fun at all to play.... in my opinion I guess, but it's the mass majority's opinion too.
@@huntercrunch94but it was necessary for an evolution.
Normal people: *Check the video upload date*
Me: *Guesses depending on what the Luckycoin intro is like*
I love this. This entire series has just about defined my lockdown. So much sonicy goodness!
0:39
*Garfield approves*
Sega has made some bad calls before, there’s no doubt about that
But THIS?
*_why does this exist_*
money
To restore the balance.
@@tadeuszekpl what balance?
@@modelomegatyler The last 2 games were good so...
@@tadeuszekpl i mean...
15 seconds in and I can see that Blue Marine zone is a sore topic. As someone who played through this game as a kid and literally could not get past this stage, I feel very validated.
Watching this video is gonna be a BLAST
Edit: Yup, it was a blast watching it
Blue Marine Zone.
Ahh... I still have flashbacks.
I'm currently working on repressing the memory of it.
After seeing Blue Marine Zone, I can only think of one quote from SomeCallMeJohnny. "Such a lust for laziness, TUUUUUBES!"
I grew up on the 3ds lost world
"They're everything to me"
1:12
God, what a good year for games lol
And a great year for me being born
“Time to say goodbye to the Game Gear and Master System...”
*Looks at Tails Adventure*
I at least love this version of Green Hill's song.
...That's literally all I can say that's positive.
11:16 So right, in fact, you are “Just hold ➡️ to win!”
I just started playing bowsers inside story
It’s really fun and my god am I thankful for you introducing me to it
Good to hear. You're playing one of the greatest games in the entire Mario series 👌
@@Garrulous64 😁
I much prefer PiT
I enjoy its gameplay more, the forced minigames kill BIS for me
This feels like if a bootleg had devs that actually played sonic
sonic blast is equal to looking at the sun for too long. except staring straight at the sun will make you blind and at least going blind is better than playing this.
i remember that i bought this game on my 3ds and regretted it for so long.
I'm gonna be honest, Lost World 3DS is the better version.
Super Sonic is alot less frustrating to get, and the Special Stages are nice as long as you're not in public.
They’re not tho….. it’s just annoying to have to walk around and spin yourself around like crash bandicoot, why can’t we just use the joy stick?
I was watching your earlier video of metal sonic rewritten, and you could say I was having a blast!
You know i am glad someone you actually reviewed this game instea of just going "graphics bad lets move on"
Well, since you asked, I made it to the end. I didn't know that there was a "Green Hill Cathedral". That must be where SEGA keeps the older gameplay styles like 3D Tails and Knuckles.
i dont know how to explain it, I just love your videos, I only watch your videos while eating lunchables
Can't wait to hear someone rag on lost world's special stages because of the motion controls being so janky
As another person who has played sonic blast( on the 3ds) I can relate to his pain
How to go insane
Step 1: play blue marine zone
Step 2: that's it
at least the music isn't as bad as the level itself
When the reviewer would rather play sonic 3D blast, you know you're in for a rough ride...
07:10 Dylan are you akey!? Dylan... DYLAN!!!!
Ah yes, the newest Jersey Shore member, Garry "The Disappointment." Great vid, man. Looking forward to Sonic Lost Cause.
I had this game on a plug n play as a kid, it was my very first video game and I loved it because I didn't know any better. My first time picking up mania years later, and selecting knuckles, filled me with nostalgia for sonic blast of all things
Edit: for the record I was never able to beat the red volcano boss and I feel validated
What were you thinking when you were just staring into the camera at 0:04?
Nothing
His thoughts were all meaningless
There were no thoughts
Only memories of hate and torment
I was thinking really hard about how long I should stare at the camera
Good idea aren't in sega.
Sonic mania: Begs to differ intensifies
Answer to the question: No. I played this once, and never again.
A real good 1 man. Can't wait for the next!😎👍
I am either a powerhouse chadd or a massacist cuz i made it bois! >:)
Also every body can relate to this moment man...
2:28
I remember buying this on my 3DS as virtual console, making it to blue marine zone, and promptly giving up forever
I mean, at least Sonic Lost World is a actually good
From what I've seen, while Lost World isn't bad, Lost World DS is absolutely awful.
Lost World is more "alright at best, mediocre at worst." Best thing it did was have an emo guy
In my opinion the story was pretty dumb (Sonic was a huge idiot in that game along with in forces)
I would say terrible, at least for me. The game punishes you for trying to explore, and i love doing that
Sonic lost world: Sonic saves tails. 10 minutes later: UWJEIDUE USWHUEH WU U SUC@*@>#>
You know the game’s bad when you want to play Sonic 3D Blast
Sonic 3d blast was decent
@@mediamuncher6982 in what world?
@@joeker5208 on one hand 3D Blast is probably the best technical sonic game that pushes the genesis to its absolute limits, on the other hand the game is a isometric platformer with a goal of collecting flickies that gets repetitive, it doesn’t make it the worst sonic game ever and even ranks above sonic blast in my opinion but it’s still a very decent sonic game that has much missed potential.
@@Turbulation1 dude shut up, I was referencing how Garrulous said he’d rather play 3D Blast
"Oh no!" Green Hill Cathedral the thing that everyone has seen in his life and they will see it until they die
sonic blast: the last sonic game for the master system... in brazil
i fear no man
but that thing
[blue marine zone]
it scares me
Shhhh, this is the made it to the end society, uh, welcome
Actually when I looked at a play through of the master system port, there is actually supposed to be air bubbles in the boss.
8-bit Sonic 2: I'm the evilest game in the world.
sonic blast: Blue marine.
8-bit sonic 2: You're clearly eviler.
Garrulous: " I'm not your
Directional
Air
Dash"
I want to make this a good mania styled game i saw the end "Green Hill Cathedral" overused joke
Sonic Blast Positives:
There's no janky jump arc like triple trouble
You can play as Knuckles
Silver Castle has some interesting gimmicks
Final fight is unique and quite creative
Final fight with all emeralds is hard but fair
The boss in Yellow Desert looks sick
Finding the special stages is the best part of the game
The color of each emerald correlates with the color in name of the zone the emerald can be found in (i.e. green chaos emerald can be found in Green Hill zone)
Sonic Blast Negatives:
Game doesn't look very good
Enemy placement almost never feels thoughtful
Level design is usually uninteresting
Bosses are usually uninteresting with usually a single, repeating pattern
Stage names do have the interesting bit with the emeralds but they're still boring
Sonic's spin dash doesn't feel good to use
Blue Marine Zone act 2 is painful to navigate and is the worst stage in the game
If you fail a special stage, you can't attempt it again, so better have savestates or you'll have to play the entire game all over again (I got particularly salty after getting 49 rings in the final special stage, so I couldn't do the final boss that attempt)
Special stages are boring
Overall, not horrible but it's not great either.
How could they screw this game up
It’s Sega We are talking about Sega always screw up.
Balance of game gear must be restored.
Wait, I just noticed that every stage is named after a color. "Green" Hill, "Yellow" Desert, "Red" Volcano, "Blue" Marine, and "SILVER" CASTLE
Fun fact: in the Master System version, when he uses his harpoon, if youre on the ground, the harpoon will shoot at the ground, creating an air bubble.
6:20 hey look it's the egg-zoombini
"I'll bet you're gonna say you should have played the game gear version."
No I was gonna say you should play Sonic 7, the bootleg of Sonic Blast.
“Net up is red volcano” (SRB2 flashbacks)
ooOh no. Well, there goes my eyes
that intro had me rolling in laughter
To be fair it looks pretty incredible for an 8-bit.
I thought that the name Sonic Blast was just some weird fever dream I had and that the renders were from 3D blast
What an amazing secret message at the end
What do you mean Garrulous? Of course Sonic Blast is a blast.
*It’s a blast of pain*
It’s a blast much like a shotgun blast
Video: Garrulous 64.

Hey will you be doing a review of Sonic 3d Blast?
10:00 wait..... this feels just like Donkey Kong Country 2's extra ending
Underwater and slow 🐌 physics and scrambled egg tubes=garrulous 64s worst nightmare
🤕
the first 10 seconds is funny as all hell
Sonic blast is what jails use when the electric chair isn’t enough
I watched to the end, Garrulous.
This was the only way to play Knuckles as a game gear kid. I am a broken man thank you sega
I played Sonic Blast on the Mega Collection Plus
I hated it
I played it too but I was a dumb little baby and thought it was just alright
It's one thing playing sonic games witch the arrows and buttons and an other when circle pad and x.
Gar. Is going crazy.
Boy Blue marine sure looks like Vietnam flashback zone.
There are indeed air bubbles in the Master System Blue Marine boss, you just need to let Eggman shoot the ground
Honestly I somewhat like sonic blast it’s not amazing but I had fun with it
It has a good soundtrack especially green hill zone and red castle zone
The gameplay was fun to me and honestly wasn’t that bad
The visuals were ehh not that great honestly
Personally I like sonic blast but that’s just me
It makes sense that boss gives you Dragon Ball vibes since it's based on Journey to the West, which Dragon Ball is also based on
I remember playing this on a plug and play when I was younger
Ooh lost world 3ds next. I liked it pretty good, but with that being said, I also haven't played the wii u version :/
I have to say I'm planning on making a 16 bit version of Sonic Blast and I just want to say that Blue Marine I love it and Hate it , it has a nice theme and could be better in 16 bit
6:04 it’s named red volcano because the red chaos emerald is located there.
Can we get sonic?
No we have sonic at home
Sonic at home:
The Game Gear version is a hilariously grotesque example of unnecessarily embracing new technology...but at the same time, Donkey Kong Country was handled really well on the Gameboy Color.
I thought Blue marine had the bubbles in the boss arena when you wait for him to shoot a rocket
"i see they not are being creative with names rn"
each zone have the color name on it being the same as the emerald you get on it
so for example in yellow desert you get the yellow emerald
and etc
Yeah that's still pretty boring
@@Garrulous64 *shrug*
When My Computer Gets Repaired, I Can Make A Remaster Of Sonic Blast.
