You know what's funny about Sonic Unleashed? I hear the music from Windmill Isle Day ALL THE TIME as background music in Youtube videos. Like, its not surprising to hear Sonic music in general pop up - Sonic music is generally fantastic - but Windmill Isle specifically seems to be very memorable to people.
it's not the kind of music that leads itself well for him on You Tube videos.
I re-watched the first episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, which was an Origins Episode, and I suddenly realized that since Sonic was telling the story, how did he know how Scratch and Grounder were created by Robotnik? Was he secretly there?

I'm guessing that Sonic wasn't there to witness their creation, but the fact that Scratch and Grounder were robots in service to Dr. Robotnik made it easy for him to correctly assume that Robotnik was their creator. After all, who else in that show utilizes robots that are simultaneously that advanced and that dim?
A jazz band I follow that does video game covers recently did a cover of Windmill Isle: Day, and it turned out to be one of their best performing performances in a long while.
It's just a really good song, I guess. Can agree, Windmill Isle: Day's one of my favorite Sonic tracks too.
As for it's use in a lot of Youtube videos, that's probably because it's a fairly chill song that wouldn't overpower anything it's used as BGM for.
It also helps by being the theme for the first level, so it immediately makes a good impression and sets the tone of the game as soon as you have control of Sonic.
"That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another."Lmao this has to be their best lego vid so far

You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.Ironically, Sonic was the reason I picked up LEGO Dimensions when I got my PlayStation 4 in 2016.

Thanks
"Kirk Thornton hamming it up as Shadow was especially entertaining."
I don't know how popular his take on Shadow has been (frankly, I don't really know when each of the different voice actors voice him so can't personally judge how good Thornton normally is) but this video definitely shows he can be great in the role.

The Trial of Sonic the Hedgehog? The Birth of Sonic the Hedgehog? The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog 2?
You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.Omochao simulator? To be fair, I'd play that (I'm one of the few people who like Omochao, though that might just be because I like Laura Bailey).

I'm getting back to doing The Final Horizon.
When I first tried months ago, slipping and falling when trying to land on top of the First Trial Tower had sapped my desire to keep going, so I started playing other games. I didn't mind the actual platforming challenge, but doing it all over again because of a minor slip at the very end was just aggressively un-fun, especially when there was no good place to stop my fall and resume partway through. I figured even a halfway checkpoint could've helped.
After trying again, and once again slipping a couple of times towards the end, I figured since I'd been playing the whole game on Hard mode, maybe was a checkpoint on Normal. Not as far as I could tell. So I dropped to Easy just to get it done, and it was insultingly easy, and I didn't feel good about such a drastic change.
So I tried ascending the second tower on Hard. And I misjudged a gap on the floating cubes at the end, trying to get from the big one to the intended next one. Sigh...
