I made lyrics for the
end credits of Sonic 1 (up until the Scrap Brain verse). It is the sad tale of a Sonic fan who must accept both the good and bad of the franchise:
Sonic the Hedgehog: Tales of a Frustrated Fanboy
Sonic is a hedgehog
Who has gained a reputation
As the fastest dude on Genesis.
His nemesis is Dr. Eggman.
Knuckles, Tails and Amy
Are his friends
(Though Amy wants much more),
And they all fight together
To defeat the Evil Robotnik once more!
Sonic has special powers.
He turns enemies to flowers.
Knuckles can punch and glide
But Tails, he just makes me want to
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!
Over “hide!”
(Sonic is a hedgehog
Who has gained a reputation
As the fastest dude on Genesis.
His nemesis is Dr. Eggman.)
(Labyrinth)
But constant retconning
Enemies respawning
The treasure hunting and
Poor camera angling
Don’t really help.
(Marble)
Is there any point? This just sucks,
Every time, handing 60 bucks
To Sonic Team.
For games bereft
Of quality.
(Star Light)
What should I do?
Should I boycott or hope that they
Will one day
Make a game
That is worthy of Sonic’s name?
(To be honest, I wouldn’t dream on
Unleashed looks wrong!)
(Scrap Brain)
Where are all the old developers
Now? Playing WoW.
Oh how
Did Sonic go from bad-ass mascot
To Sega’s cash cow?
