Espyo | Engrish fun on Sonic Adventure DX' menus @srb2Espyo | Uploaded April 2010 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
If you switch the voice language to Japanese, the characters will... well, talk Japanese. Though Sonic does things slightly different. He actually names some of the menus as they sound in English. And seeing as the Japanese have a bit of trouble when letters like 'r' and 'l' come into play... Well, hilarity ensues.
I recorded all of Sonic's Engrish commentaries about menus. Note that in some menus, the actor managed to speak pretty well, and I captured both the "WTF Engrish" and "not quite Engrish".
If you have free time, make sure you play the game in Japanese. Aside from Tails' screeching scream when his plane looses control (which somehow translates to "Look out below!"), there are some more fun moments.
And before anyone asks (AKA: inb4)
To get Eggman to speak on the main menu, you need to play as Metal Sonic in trial mode. To play as Metal Sonic, you need to get all emblems.
At least, that's what my memory tells me, so it might not be 100% accurate.

![Final Fortress (Rose) [OBSOLETE] - 0 rings - Low Ring Challenge - Sonic Heroes](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xLnI-dxEdnU/hqdefault.jpg "Final Fortress (Rose) [OBSOLETE] - 0 rings - Low Ring Challenge - Sonic Heroes
Note: Now that Ive made a Low SCORE Challenge for this level, this Low RING Challenge is now obsolete. Check out the LSC here: http://youtu.be/UlP4n2OOsuk
Attempts: 176
This run is probably the most entertaining. It contains two dangerous jumps (0:28 and 1:04). This level could ALMOST be completed with 0 points, if it werent for the guards at 2:16.
This run was very hard, and also, from now on, Ill write on the video description the number of attempts the run took me. It was hard, but it was worth it, I guess. The audio is also fixed: Bigs voice doesnt look like a rusty chainsaw cutting through concrete.
I may act and look a bit noobish at 0:13 and 1:40, but I already made 175 attempts previously, so I didnt even care. When I finished this run, I couldnt help but sigh the F-word. If its not Cream collecting rings at 0:15 (when I use Amy), then its Cream collecting rings at 2:37. Those are just some of the worst parts.
LRC info:
Basically, the Low Ring Challenge consists of finishing the level with the lowest amount of rings possible. Losing rings is not permitted.
Disclaimer:
In the 16-bit videos, I use Tool-Assistance. You can read more at www.tasvideos.org though I dont use those tools to speedrun, but actually to just perform a clean and good looking run.
As for Sonic Adventure DX, if Tails isnt following Sonic, thats because I disabled him with a code. This is to prevent him from accidentally collecting rings.")
