Hey! Thanks for watching! This video has been quite the journey. Not just recording, but editing as well. If you enjoyed the video, click "LIKE" or sub if you're new. Aside from that, I hope you all have a great day!
There’s definitely some poor kid out there in 2024 whose family has never bought another game besides this one, and unironically tells them what you said every time they beg for something new
I gotta be honest, when I played this game I legtimately thought it was impossible to climb the big tree in Sonic 3, lmao. Swear I tried everything. Not sure if I'm happy to be proved wrong tbh.
The fact that this was approved this for release and allowed to name these "levels" after 3 of the most beloved Sonic games is just offensive. Quality Assurance.
The game looked like playing it makes having digestion problems while having your nails pealed up seem like a great time. I can assure you the agonizing time to make this was appreciated greatly by everyone watching it.
Great job on this! I applaud you for even being able to want to do this game! I'd love to see, this is just a suggestion, you do the adventure games, if you haven't already done them, I have an awful memory.

I've been watching videos of this game for a couple days (even playing the recent Jam Sonic and Tails mods in Sonic 3 A.I.R.) , and what do I find while searching the game in TH-cam? This video! What a coincidence!
I was wondering why you were gonna do the first 3 games again... Safe to say even after seeing the thumbnail, I wasn't expecting this and the surprise was pretty funny...
I wont lie, though it isn't that playable, as someone who works with computers with major restrictions, i can appreciate how impressive this actually is on a system like that.
Currently rewatching through all of these challenge videos and this is my first time watching this one, it’s ironic that the most appealing looking classic Sonic game (Mania) is the one that keeps getting pushed back while we get all of these “beautiful” versions of the classics. Hope Mania and the remakes to some of the previous Badnik videos get made but we’ll see. This was a fun one though!
@@GottaBeFrank true i forgot about that man we sure are running out of challenges for these, but tails without defeating a badnik in sonic cd would be cool.
Just watching the frame rate in this game is hell. I can't imagine paying full price for a legitimate copy and playing that. If you played this game, let alone bought it, I'm so sorry.
This is without question the worst Sonic game. Sonic Genesis, at least that one seems like it's semi-playable, kinda? And most of the music isn't that awful. And the special stages have a point. Sonic Jam Gamecom has almost nothing, even clearing a special stage has zero effect. Even this game has at least one interesting thing, though. It uses Sonic's unused whistling and sleeping animations from Sonic 3, and Knuckles' old laughing sprites.
This game also has some skidding sprites of Knuckles in his 1103 prototype design. Even prerelease media of this port was interesting since it would have been much better graphically and have more content, and there's even some pretty early Sonic 3 Beta elements that predate 1103. This basically the game's only redeeming quality. And it’s not even the final product it’s self.
Yeah, Sonic The Hedgehog (Djdj), Sonic X (Leapster), Drift 2, Drift, Blast, '06, Schoolhouse, Labyrinth, Rise Of Lyric, Free Riders And Genesis Were All Pretty Bad, But Sonic Jam On The Game Com, To Describe It Lightly, Is Just Terrible, It Makes All The Aforementioned Games Look Like, Say, Super Smash Bros. Brawl And/Or Kirby's Return To Dream Land.
@@stoopid69421 Not To Mention The Good Majority Of Them At Least Have Excellent Music, But This Garbage (Sonic Jam On The Game Com) Barely Sounds Like Actual Music!
@@GottaBeFrank I Also Feel Sorry For You, This Is Inarguably The True Worst Sonic Game Ever. At Least Sonic '06 And Sonic Boom:Rise Of Lyric Were So Bad, They're Hilarious. This, On The Other Hand, Is More Like So Bad, It's Boring.
Someone ranked sonic games from worst to best, & 1 of the rules was no fangames, but the worst 1 was this 1 which as far as i know is a bootleg so not officially so technically it's a fangame (the only mistake) XD (again this is just as far as i know)
@@GottaBeFrank oh wtf, deffinetly not expecting that, which makes sense because lets be real even though it is apparently an official game, it looks & feels like most bootleg games, & though sonic colo(u)rs ultimate was the worst official sonic game ever created, (so bad it's only worse then sonic 1 on the GBA but also comparing it to other stuff besides games too Also worse then watching that awful movie called cats twice with litherally the second time after the first 1 (i know comparing a video game with a movie is a little weird but you get what i mean)) but damn, this game is even worse EDIT: nvm, it's then playing colo(u)rs ultimate to 100% 2× over
Just by looking at the game, Sonic Jam on game com has to be the King of awful Sonic games. Not even 06, Rise of Lyric, or even Sonic 1 on the GBA can reach that low level of trash.
Wow, this was trash. I honestly cant think of a worse Sonic game, apart from maybe some Sonic games released on j2me, notably Sonic J. I'm amazed you played only as Sonic, as the one slight redeeming factor is you being able to play as Tails, which is easier so you can get passed the trunk, sonething that Sonic GBA doesn’t have. Worse than Free Riders. I see you did this on emulator. At least it's not original hardware, as it's even worse. Are you still doing challenges like this?

Awesome video
Frank it just like the original runs

Keep watching
"Mom, can we get Sonic Origins?"
"No, we have Sonic Origins at home."
There’s definitely some poor kid out there in 2024 whose family has never bought another game besides this one, and unironically tells them what you said every time they beg for something new
Did you mean Sonic Jam
origins was kinda bad too if you think about it
@@thedumpster1094_osc how come
I gotta be honest, when I played this game I legtimately thought it was impossible to climb the big tree in Sonic 3, lmao. Swear I tried everything. Not sure if I'm happy to be proved wrong tbh.
Yeah. You have to not press a direction on the D Pad to get it to work. It's so frustrating.
Game Apologist was the same way lol
Finally, the best Sonic game
Sonic origins bad change my mind
Sure, but you'll need to give me some time to make the video.
@@GottaBeFrank now thats a good challange, try to make people bleive sonic origins is good ( it isnt)
Not sure if I'll try to make people believe it's good. There's more than enough good in the game for it to not be considered bad.
The fact that this was approved this for release and allowed to name these "levels" after 3 of the most beloved Sonic games is just offensive. Quality Assurance.
You have extreme dedication if you are willing to even try a challenge on THIS mess of a game. Holy moly
This one almost broke me.
The game looked like playing it makes having digestion problems while having your nails pealed up seem like a great time.
I can assure you the agonizing time to make this was appreciated greatly by everyone watching it.
Thank you so much.
Holy crap, this game looks barely playable o_o Kudos to you for beating this mess.
As someone who’s had the misery of playing this you have no idea how awful it is
@@Nick_T_90the dark screen + the intense ghosting make it so much worse than it is here

This was supposed to be a short video and was anything but short lmao
Your second Sonic collection without defeating a badnick
Yeah, but not the collection you might think of.
Man, and I thought Sonic '06 and Rise of Lyric were eyesores. This has them all beat, at least the others were IN COLOR!!!!!
Yeah. Those games are pretty bad, when compared to other games released at that time. This is just objectively awful.
At least Sonic 06 is fun

I've been watching videos of this game for a couple days (even playing the recent Jam Sonic and Tails mods in Sonic 3 A.I.R.) , and what do I find while searching the game in TH-cam? This video! What a coincidence!
It's that TH-cam algorithm at work.
I was wondering why you were gonna do the first 3 games again...
Safe to say even after seeing the thumbnail, I wasn't expecting this and the surprise was pretty funny...
Yeah. The original thumbnail was based on the Saturn version, which led to more confusion than I would have liked.
Your the first person to do a full playthrough of this game, i didn't even know this game had 4 acts lol
In the words of Knuckles... OH NO
Thanks to this video I learned that there are boss fights
Honestly, I didn't know that either lol
Honestly beating this game is a feat on its own
I wont lie, though it isn't that playable, as someone who works with computers with major restrictions, i can appreciate how impressive this actually is on a system like that.
This gives me a greater appreciation of the bad Game Gear Sonic games
can you even beat sonic jam-
Wait, sorry, I was under the impression that this was the other one
Love the content frank
Thank you so much!
Imagine you call a game a collection and have the goddamn chemical plant zone boss in emerald hill.
Currently rewatching through all of these challenge videos and this is my first time watching this one, it’s ironic that the most appealing looking classic Sonic game (Mania) is the one that keeps getting pushed back while we get all of these “beautiful” versions of the classics. Hope Mania and the remakes to some of the previous Badnik videos get made but we’ll see. This was a fun one though!
It's So Bad, It's Even Listed In The "So Bad, It's Horrible" Section Of TV Tropes.
Even if you wanted to play the Saturn version, the result will be yes because you have already done every game available in sonic jam on the Saturn.
Yeah, that's true.
A prototype for a cancelled Symphony Of The Night port for the Game Com was recently discovered.
Oh god, dude... Are you ok?
Probably not.
This game was REALLY nice to you in this challenge because of its broken.. uhh.. everything I guess.
The console is actually just called the game com. I don't know why they put the dot there if it is not stated in the consoles name.
My eyes are in pain and bleeding but great video and good job
The challenge was the will to keep playing
Any other ideas of funny games like this one ? Say Sonic 4 for example
Therapy, probably.
@@GottaBeFrank yeah, I’d say surely. Oh wait, now that I remember, you can always try but I think Splash Hill is already a stop to the challenge
The true challenge is can you play this game for 10 whole minutes without chucking it in the trash can?
I only just realised you were Knuckles Channel 3 and Knuckles, was wondering why I was subscribed to this random channel lol
A better question is, "Can you beat Sonic Jam?" Like, AT ALL!?!?! Will you even want to?
Oh! Sonic my boy! W-what are they done to you? Rerez
I wouldn't call this a "Can you" sort of thing and more of a "Should you" sort of thing.
The answer would be no, in the first 10 seconds.
@@GottaBeFrank 10 is being too generous. 5 maximum for me.
yo you gotta do can you defeat sonic 1,2 cd,3 as tails without defeating a badnik
It would be the same as the Sonic playthroughs since I can just go through the same paths.
@@GottaBeFrank true i forgot about that man we sure are running out of challenges for these, but tails without defeating a badnik in sonic cd would be cool.
Not really. I'm just slowly going through different games.
Will you beat the other 8 bit sonic games without killing badniks
Not sure. I've been all over the place with what I want my channel to be. For now, I'm going to focus on the Mega Man videos I started last year.
Yes my favourite 1st boss,

When Sonic 3 and Sobic and Knuckles don't even have Knuckles
He's playable, but plays the same as Sonic.
I was wondering how long you could go without saying how bad it is
Just watching the frame rate in this game is hell. I can't imagine paying full price for a legitimate copy and playing that. If you played this game, let alone bought it, I'm so sorry.
Imagine editing a video where you need to zoom in and it moves every 8-10 frames. Keyframing was annoying.
What about the mania video?
Still in the works.

you had one boss name wrong
the jet mobile is now called the egg scrambler
The names are interchangeable.
The Graphics Is Very Painful To Me Its So Laggy, I’m Surprised You Are Able To Complete This With That Much Lag
Now do sonic blast on the game gear or Sonic 1 on the gba. That’ll be interesting.
I did a Sonic 1 GBA video
@@GottaBeFrank ah. Didn’t know. Gotta watch that then. Well, blast then.
Why do people shit on Sonic 3D Blast so much, that game was pretty solid imo.
Sonic no way :D
The frame-rate look’s very low to me, unless it is.
That's the game's framerate.
@@GottaBeFrank

Damage boost the game

Hi frank
Hello
this game looks painful to play
It is. Then it gets worse with a self-imposed challenge.
Trying to complete anything succesfully in Sonic Jam for the GameDotCom is already challenge to anyone.
10:38 well it IS as bad as you're average bootleg (as far as i know)
Bootlegs are more playable than all of this.
@@GottaBeFrank oh wait... yeah that's treu, i've seen a lot of bootleg video connor the waffle made & they were all still more playable then this
coconut
I'd rather play sonic 4..
To be Honest, Sharp SM8521: 5Mhz CPU Still A CRAP, And To be Honest, The Gameboy's Sharp LR35902 Is much Better, Or Should i say.. MORE SUPERIOR!
Hot take - it even worse than the PC port of Sonic Origins
That is the coldest take possible
@@GottaBeFrank yep, and we hope that Denuvo would be removed,add the sharp pixel, etc

It's no contest, Sonic Jam is the absolute worst.
It’s actually pronounced game com, not game dot com, tho it is easy to see why you said that because of the spelling.
I don't care enough about the system to care about the way to say it.
