SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter (Arcade) Translated Playthrough - NintendoComplete
1,463A playthrough of Sega's 1993 children's shoot 'em up arcade title SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter (セガソニック・コスモ・ファイター).
All of the dialogue in this playthrough has been subtitled in English. I did the translation and subtitling myself.
Sonic Cosmo Fighter was an interesting rarity that only was just recently rediscovered, dumped, and added to MAME so you can experience it through the wonders of emulation. It was a ride-style game (like Rail Chase, or a super-tame Afterburner) for small children. This video does actually show the whole game (it is really that short) and the best possible rank you can earn.
Even though it is technically a shoot 'em up, don't be fooled into thinking you're getting a classic genre title with Sonic sprites thrown in - it's incredibly slow and simple, and not at all difficult. I don't think it's possible to get killed - you get a lower rating if you do poorly. It does look and sound pretty nice for what it is, I'll definitely give it that.
Still, this is about as obscure as a legit Sonic title gets, and is worth a quick look, just to see some of the weird things Sega tried. This one is quite similar to another Sonic arcade kiddie title (Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car, such is far stranger than this even), along with the other bizarre Sonic gimmick game Sonic Popcorn Shop.
Oh, and it was developed by Sega AM1. Yeah, just think about that one for a moment :)
