A camera was turning on and showed some static.

Soon enough, though, the static stopped, and it showed Sonic, who was adjusting his camera so it could face him.

"I think I finally got–– Oh, there we go!" Sonic said with a smile, so he sat on his desk and twirled around on his chair. "Hello, hello, and welcome, everypony! I'm yours truly Sonic the Hedgehog, the one and only! Streaming straight up from the Crystal Brighthouse!"

He showed the background for a moment, revealing that he was in his section of the Brighthouse's bedroom, while many heart and pony laughing emojis were showing on the screen.

"Now, I've been reading all your comments from my previous streams, and came to realize that many of you are very activate regarding my posts about the games based on my adventures!" Sonic said.

Soon, his camera became smaller on a corner, while a bigger screen showed Sonic's Ponygram and many pictures he has posted on it.

Most of these pictures were from Pipp and him together, but there was a bast catalogue of pictures where he was with the rest of his friends as well. But there was also a massive section of pictures were he was playing the games from his world along Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and even Shadow.

For example, there's a picture of Shadow trying to not loose his cool after Sonic defeated him in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, playing as Shadow.

"I've also noticed that you all are pointing out something I honestly didn't realized at first, and is that I've never had put any of my fellow ponies to play!" Sonic said with a smirk. "Well, today I'm changing that! We're gonna see the Mane 6 playing through 6 of my games! This. Is. THE SONIC WALKTHROUGH!!!"

After saying this, many party cannons exploded and some balloons floated in the air, while the chat exploded with more heart emojis, ponies laughing, and even ponies with heart eyes.

"Now, why only 6 games? Well, considering there's 32 mainline games, which increases to 100 if we count the spin-offs, I had to be really selective on which games suit my friends best," Sonic explained with his iconic smirk and a wink. "Now, I'll shut up already so we can move to the gameplay!"

After saying that, he boosted away to look for his first friend to try out the first game.






ZIPP STORM PLAYS: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2






Soon, Sonic came by to be in front of the camera again, while Zipp arrived with an annoyed look.

"Alright, guys! I'm back in action, and this time? Zipp's with me!" Sonic said with a smile, as he pointed at Zipp.

"Uh... Hey..." Zipp waved her hoof with a sheepish smile at the camera, since she still hated to be in the spotlight.

"And as I stated on the tittle card, she's gonna be trying out Sonic 2!" Sonic stated with a wink. "So, anything you've gotta say before we get started, Zippster?"

"Ugh... Let's get this over with..." Zipp replied, as she placed her headphones and grabbed the Sega Genesis controller, while Sonic shrugged and placed his headphones as well.

After that, the camera pointing at Sonic and Zipp became small on a corner again, while the bigger screen showed the 'Sonic the Hedgehogs 2' title screen.

"So, uh... Do I have to select the character, or...?" Zipp asked.

"Nah, the character has been selected already. You just have to press start!"

"If you say so..."

So, Zipp decided to press start like Sonic said and start to play.

Soon, the music from Emerald Hill Zone started playing, and Classic Tails appeared in the middle of the stage, which Zipp took as the sign to start playing.

"Alright, lets see..." Zipp said, as she first decided to test out how the controllers worked, so she pressed A, B and C, all making Tails jump in the screen. "Jumping is with these buttons..." She muttered before pulling the stick on certain directions, until she accidentally also pressed A while holding the stick down, which made Tails start to roll on his place in the screen. "Whoa! W-What am doing?!"

"Chill out, sis-in-law. That's just the Spin Dash!" Sonic pointed out with a smirk.

"Oh, right... Wait, can I fly in this––" Zipp was going to ask, but when she jumped and pressed the same button again, Tails started to fly a bit in the air. "Oh, now we're talking!"

After that, Zipp finally started to move across Emerald Hill Zone, collecting rings and either jumping over badniks or Spindashing against them, as she also reached the star panels.

"Wow... You're a natural at this, Zippster!" Sonic mocked up with a smirk. "Are you sure you never played this before?"

"I'm pretty sure, bro-in-law! I guess I'm just really good at––" Zipp tried to mock back, but when she reached a star panel, some sparkles appeared over it, and when she jumped and touched the sparkles, the entire scenario changed. "... W-What's happening?"

Soon, the screen showed Tails running through a large corridor, while his name appeared on top of the screen, as well as a ring counter, while some music started to play in the background.

This confused Zipp, as she looked at Sonic at his side. "Um, Sonic? How about a little context?"

"This is the special stage!" Sonic replied with a smile. "You enter them anytime you touch the sparkles over the Star Panels, but you can only access to them if you cross the Star Panels with 50 rings or more."

"And what are these 'special stages' for, exactly?"

"To collect the Chaos Emeralds! Once you get the 7, yo can turn Tails into Super Tails and be invincible! After you collect 50 rings, and if you loose all of them, you'll be back to be regular Tails..." Sonic explained the last part with a bored expression.

"Oh, interesting!" Zipp said with a smirk. "But how do I clear these stages?"

As she asked this, in the screen appeared a giant text that said 'Get 30 rings!'

"Just collect as many rings as the screen asks you to!" Sonic explained. "Of course, you gotta dodge some obstacles and make sure you don't miss any rings––"

"Done!"

Sonic's eyes widened after hearing this, and so, he looked at the screen to see a thumbs up and the text 'Cool!', while the ring counter said that Zipp collected 53 rings.

"...You collected those while I was talking?" Sonic asked in shock.

"And now I'm going for the 70!" Zipp stated confidently.

And so she did: She collected 106 rings and even dodged some bombs that came out of nowhere. Her final challenge arrived when she needed to get 130 rings, and she collected 156, while also dodging some other bombs.

Finally, Tails reached the end of the corridor and obtained the Light Blue Chaos Emerald. Once he did so, another melody played in the background, while a text said 'Tails got a Chaos Emerald'.

"Yeah! How about that, partner?" Zipp cheered with a confident smile.

"You still need to clear the rest of the stage" Sonic mocked up with a smirk.

"That thing? Piece of cake!"





When Zipp said it was a piece of cake, she mean it.

Zipp cleared the whole first act of Emerald Hill Zone with no problems, and she even collected other 5 Chaos Emeralds on the special stages. It all came down to the final boss in the second act: Eggman and the Egg Driller.

"You think you can handle him, Zippster?" Sonic asked her with a mocking smirk.

"Stand back and learn, hedgehog!" Zipp mocked back.

Then, Zipp simply started to jump over the Egg Driller everytime he appeared on screen. She still got hit and lost all her rings, but at the same time, she managed to defeat Eggman and free all the animals from the giant capsule at the end of the level.

"...Okay, yeah, you're really good at this, I'll admit it," Sonic said with an eye roll, but still with a smile.

"Never doubt by gaming skills, man!" Zipp mocked up with a confident smirk.

"Well, as much as I would like to see you getting to the end, we gotta keep moving with the rest of our friends," Sonic pointed out. "Thanks for coming, sis-in-law! Now, let's get to the next contestant!"

After saying this, Sonic moved his hand to make a transition scene.






IZZY MOONBOW PLAYS: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 & KNUCKLES






Sonic appeared in front of the camera again, spinning over his chair.

"Kon'nichiwa, mata okaerinasai!" Sonic greeted again, saying 'Hello, hello, and welcome back!' in Japanese. "So, we just saw that Zipp is actually really good at my games, but let's see if our next participant has the same luck! Everypony, please welcome Izzy Moonbow!"

Soon, Izzy arrived by spinning on her chair while moving wildly around the bedroom, until she was heading towards Sonic and his setup.

Panicking, Sonic activated his shield and protected himself and his setup from the unicorn, who ended up crashing against the shield and then falling backwards. Still, when Sonic deactivated the shield to check on her, Izzy stood up with dizzy eyes, before looking at the camera.

"Hi!" Izzy greeted with a cheerful smile and sparkling eyes, also waving her hoof.

"Welcome to The Sonic Walkthrough, Ms. Moonbow!" Sonic greeted her. "As I told you, you're gonna be playing Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles!"

Izzy gasped dramatically after hearing this. "Can I play as Knuckie?!"

"That's the plan!" Sonic replied, placing the headphones over Izzy.

After that, he quickly started the game, selected Knuckles on an empty file, and then gave Izzy the controller.

"Enjoy yourself, Iz!" Sonic said with a smile, while Izzy squealed excited.

So, after a little cinematic in the game were a bomb appeared in front of Knuckles, exploded and startled him, followed by some animals running away, and then a robot appearing, which made Knuckles made, the game finally started on the first act of Angel Island.

Of course, Sonic tried to relax himself, believing that Izzy was going to struggle with the game... She didn't.

In fact, Izzy passed through the entire first level of Angel Island like a pro, which made Sonic's jaw drop, while the chat watching the stream went wild in disbelief, since nopony or creature expected Izzy to be this good at the game.

In fact, she was so good that Sonic never had to open his mouth to instruct her on anything. Izzy was a natural at this, even more than Zipp, because the unicorn mare didn't even practiced to adapt to the controls. When she got to Angel Island's Act 2, she didn't needed help on anything again, leaving Sonic flabbergasted.

She collected rings, elemental shields, and even attacked badniks like if it was a natural thing. She didn't collected any Chaos Emerald, though, but by how far she has gotten, it was clear she didn't needed them.

Finally, Izzy reached the final boss on the second act, where she had a fire shield and din't even had to dodge the fire blasts thrown at her by the enemy, which was controlled by the same robot from the earlier cinematic and not by Eggman, as it was usual in these games.

And finally, Izzy made a last hit to the robot in the game, defeating him and then freeing all the animals from the floating capsule that was descending, clearing the whole Angel Island zone with no problem.

At this, Sonic had his jaw dropped and wide eyes, while Izzy just smiled and hummed happily to herself after completing the two levels, until she noticed Sonic's expression.

"H-How..." Sonic called out. "HOW DID YOU CLEARED THE ENTIRE ZONE WITH NO EMERALDS AND AT THE VERY FIRST TRY?!"

"Oh, well, I was just imagining myself doing all that cool stuff, which kind of helped me to get through the whole stage with no problem!" Izzy explained with her usual cheerful smile, while Sonic slowly looked at the camera of the livestream.

The chat was still going wild, and some even were dropping some comments.



RoseGirl What the hell?!
MaximumPrower And here I thought that Cream beating Shadow was impressive...
PerfectJewel Lol!
UltimateLifeForm @MaximumPrower I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye
StrongerThanSonic Haha, that's my girl!




Sonic cringed a bit after reading that, before looking back at the camera with a deadpan and sigh. "Thanks for your time, Iz... Next participant..."






HITCH TRAILBLAZER PLAYS: SONIC 3D BLAST






"Okay! Now we're moving to Sonic 3D Blast! And this time, Hitch's gonna try it out!" Sonic announced with a smile, while both males had their headphones on already.

"Thanks for inviting me, Sonic!" Hitch said with a smile, before deadpanning. "I do hate that we must do this as fast as we can, though, because I know that Knuckles is watching the stream instead of doing my rounds as I told him..."



StrongerThanSonic ¡Me declaro culpable!



Hitch rolled his eyes, before pressing start and accidentally skip all the cutscenes by mistake.

"Oops!"

"Eh, it's fine, Hitch. All you got to know is that there's critters encaged in badniks and you have to defeat all the robots to free'd them!" he pointed out with a smile.

"Oh! Well, that actually makes things easier!"

"Kinda..." Sonic muttered with a smirk.

Soon, the game started on the first act of Green Grove Zone, but as Hitch began to move, he could barely keep Sonic moving on a straight line, because Sonic in the screen kept moving from one side to the other.

"Uh... Sonic?" Hitch called out. "Am I going crazy, or is this controller so... stiff?!"

"No, the controller is stiff," Sonic replied with a bored expression. "And don't bother to try on changing the controls, it'll make things worse."

Still, Hitch was trying to make some progress in the game by jumping and collecting rings, but because of the weird 3D ambience in the game, it was hard to tell where the heck he was standing half of the time.



StrongerThanSonic Dude, I haven't laughed this hard watching a gameplay in years!
MaximumPrower Good Sheriff, terrible gamer
JesusG0987 Yikes
Flamewarrior02 LOL fail



Eventually, Hitch managed to rescue all the animals after a stressful gameplay. "I DID IT! I'M DONE WITH THIS!" He cheered loudly with a twitchy eye, before running away while laughing like a maniac.

Sonic scratched his head confused after that, so he looked back at the screen and shrugged. "Well, I guess this was not that good of a choice after all."



StormySkies You guess?
SunnyDelight Oh, trust me. He's just... not that good at video games
MaximumPrower Yeah, we noticed
BenictheHedgehog Shouldn't we move on?



"Oh, right! Thanks for the reminder, Ben!" Sonic said with a smile and a wink. "Onto the next one!"






SUNNY STARSCOUT PLAYS: SONIC HEROES






"And now we go to the one game I know was made for you, Sunny-Bunny!" Sonic stated with a smirk.

Sunny at his side, wearing headphones already, giggled after hearing this. "Oh, I'm pretty sure that any game you put me to play was going to be fine, Sonic!"

"Oh, but this one is special: Its main gimmick is the power of teamwork!" Sonic explained with a smile.

After hearing this, Sunny's eyes widened, before she gasped and her eyes sparkled, as she also placed her hooves on her cheeks. "TEAMWORK?! Why didn't you said that before?!"

"I knew you'll like it!" Sonic said with a wink and this thumbs up, before moving over to the game and put everything but the characters. "I'll usually had this ready, but I'll let you choose who you wanna play with. I do warn you, though: The game either gets easier or harder depending on who you choose."

"Oh!" Sunny said a bit confused. "Well, I guess I'll just pick you guys 'cause I honestly just want to get this started!"

"Be my guest!" Sonic said with a smile.

And so, after a cinematic of Eggman threatening Team Sonic, the game started on Seaside Hill, where Team Sonic ran across a beach before the level finally started with Sonic leading Tails and Knuckles.

With this, Sunny began by boosting ahead with Sonic, but then accidentally switching to Knuckles, which made her eyes widen.

"Uh... Did I did something wrong?" She asked a bit concerned.

"Nah, you're fine, Sunny," Sonic assured with a smile. "That's just how the game works! You've gotta switch between me, Tails and Knuckles to clear the stage. Sometimes you gotta accelerate with me, sometimes you've gotta fly with Tails, and sometimes you've gotta fight with Knuckles!"

"Oh! So that's why this game is about teamwork! I just gotta find a balance between the three of you!"

"That's the spirit!"

And so, Sunny spent her whole gameplay enjoying it. She smashed down the robots with either Knuckles or using Sonic's Homing Attack, while in the zones that required it, she used Tails to fly Sonic and Knuckles up to keep moving on.

Collecting rings and even getting shields at time was never more fun, and Sunny was really enjoying the game so far, despite it still being just the first stage.

At the end, Sunny defeated a final batch of robots by using all the characters whenever she could. Then, she pressed the Z button on her controller and made the move called 'Team Blast', which was Knuckles grabbing Tails and spinning around, while Tails grabbed Sonic and then let him go, as Sonic booted across the stage like a pinball.

This move defeated all the enemies, and so, Sunny reached the giant golden ring to clear the stage.

The same one finished with Sonic and Knuckles grabbing each other's right hands with smirks, while Tails used their united hands to jump over them and get in the air, as the three member of Team Sonic posed to the camera in victory.

"Yes!" Sunny cheered, while Sonic cheered as well and hugged her sideways.

"Hah! I knew you'll make it, Sunny-Bunny!" Sonic said happily.

"You know, Sonic? You were right! This game is really fun and made for me!" Sunny kept cheering. "I can't wait to get through the rest of it!"













"Time to meet your creator!" Eggman's voice spoke in the game.

"UGH!!!" Sunny screamed in rage, since this was her 27th attempt on the final boss of Team Sonic's story. "I swear if he doesn't shuts the buck up, I WILL burn this thing down!"

As Sunny struggled to make a single hit at the Egg Emperor in the game, Sonic stepped back nervously, then boosted to grab the camera of the stream and moved away, but Sunny could still be seen in the background.

"Well, she lost her patience a lot later than I thought she would..." Sonic confessed with a bored expression.

"I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS, EGGMAN, EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING I'LL DO IN MY LIFE!!!" Sunny screamed enraged behind.

"...Eggman, if you're watching this, I advice you to embrace yourself, because she's saying it both to you in the game and in real life..." Sonic pointed out with a deadpan.



BrightdawnButterfly Uh... Shouldn't we do something to calm her down?
BaySheriff Nah, I'll say we let her be. Is kinda attractive, anyways...
StormySkies No bucking way you just wrote that!
MaximumPrower LOOOOOL
UltimateLifeForm @BaySheriff You are so done, Sheriff
PerfectJewel HAHAHAHAHA!
StrongerThanSonic OMG, he actually wrote that?!
JesusG0987 I didn't know Sheriff Hitch was that risky
BenictheHedgehog Is this real? We didn't just saw things, did we?
Flamewarrior02 Hitch and Sunny, sitting on a tree. K, I, S, S, I, N, G!



Sonic himself was trying not to burst laughing after hearing that, but then, Sunny on his back groaned in rage again.



StrongerThanSonic Anything you've gotta say about that, @BaySheriff?
StormySkies HAHAHAHAHA!
MaximumPrower I love it here!
BaySheriff I'll use my rights to remain silent
UltimateLifeForm Like if that's gonna make you look less stupid after what you said
PerfectJewel OMG I'M STROKING, HELP––
RoseGirl I haven't laughed this hard in YEARS!
MoonBro Hitchy! Wanna share something with the class? HMM?!
Kreotre We got you, Sheriff!
RealAllBridge LOL



"Okay, as much as I'm loving to read all of this, we gotta keep moving!" Sonic stated with a smirk, covering the camera's lens for a second, but then, Sunny groaning loudly could be heard. "NO, SUNNY! DON'T BRAKE THE––"

And then, an image that said 'We're having technical problems. We'll be back!' was shown.






PIPP PETALS PLAYS: SONIC COLORS






After taking Sunny out, Sonic came once again in front of the camera.

"Okay... We just have two players left" Sonic said with a smile. "Our next participant doesn't really needs a presentation... BUT!"

After saying this, he clapped his hands and the lights turned off, while Sonic turned the camera around and pointed it to a little stage that pointed to Pipp's side of the bedroom.

"Ladies, gentleman, ponies who still doubt their likes and non-binary creatures!" Sonic greeted through a microphone. "Let's give a warm welcome to the one and only pop-star princess, the most gorgeous pony that's ever lived, and my beautiful girlfriend... Marefriend... Is it fillyfriend? Eh, she's my soulmate, okay?. The one and only: Princess Pipp Petals!"

With this, fake claps were heard and a light illuminated over the stage, now showing Pipp herself, who was smiling confidently, as she walked downstairs on an elegant and formal manner, while Sonic decided to follow her game by making a reverence, although his tail was waggling against his will.

Soon, Sonic went and turned the camera back, while Pipp sat at her side, and as Sonic was fixing some stuff on his desk, she surprised him with a kiss on his lips, which made him blush madly.

This little action also made the whole chat go nuts and comment like if their lives depended on it, although Sonic only chuckled sheepishly at his girlfriend's action, before shaking his head and focus back.

"Shūchū, harinezumi, shūchū!" Sonic told himself with a serious expression, saying 'Focus, hedgehog, focus!' in Japanese.

"Soko ni iru anata no chīsana aibō to issho ni kangaete kudasai, burūsutā~?" Pipp mocked up with a smirk and a blush, also waving her tail a bit, while Sonic's face went incredibly red after that.

As for what Pipp told him, she said 'Thinking with your little buddy down there, Blue Star~?', but in Japanese.

Sonic shook his head and decided to focus again. "Um... Y-Yeah! Uh, our next participant is Pipp Petals! S-She'll be playing Sonic Colors... If she stops teasing me..." He added with a slight annoyed tone, but Pipp only giggled innocently, and of course, that made him blush again while his heart skipped a beat.

Still, he managed to keep his cool, and so, he started the game, putting it over Tropical Resort: Act 1.

"There. The rest's up to you, Little Pipp!" Sonic told her with a smile, giving her the Wii controller.

Yes, this is the original Wii version, not whatever 'Sonic Colors: Ultimate' attempts to be.

Soon, Pipp decided to focus on the game, and as soon as Sonic appeared on screen while stretching a bit, Pipp moved the character a bit ahead, collecting some rings in the process.

Then, when she grabbed a capsule with wisps, she noticed that a small bar in the bottom left corner was a bit full, so she pressed A, and the Sonic in the game boosted at top speed. Then, she reached a point where there were several balloons, so she pressed A two times, which made Sonic jump and the made a Homing Attack.

Getting the hang of the game now, Pipp was definitely determinate to finish this stage at last.

So, she accelerated and destroyed some more enemies with the Homing Attack, before boosting and collect a bunch of rings, followed by another section with enemies that she destroyed with the Homing Attack, and then a rail section where she boosted thanks to the bar in the corner being half-full.

Without much problems, she simply kept boosting against some more enemies and balloons, and she could pass with no problems the 2D sections of the level, until she finished the level by freeing some wisps from a giant capsule.

The end level was different this time, and as the final results showed up, indicating that she got a B as her highest score, but she could still control Sonic for some reason, and she jumped over the scores, somehow making it a bit bigger and even getting some rings, but the final score she got was still a B.

"Huh... That was actually really fun!" Pipp said with a smile.

"Yeah, well, Colors is really criticized because of reasons that aren't worth my time mentioning..." Sonic confessed with a somehow sad expression. "But I really enjoy this one... Specially because it has the lullaby I was taught as its main theme... I just wished people would had appreciated this more..."

Pipp noticed his change of mood, but she still smiled and decided to gently kiss his cheek.

"I don't know what has been said about this game, and a part of me honestly doesn't care..." Pipp said with a warm smile. "I personally enjoy it, and even if this is just the first stage? I'm pretty sure the rest of the game is as entertaining."

After hearing this, Sonic looked over at Pipp and smiled, before kissing her tenderly on her lips.

"...Thanks, Pipp... I really needed to hear that..."

Pipp giggled after hearing this. "Anything for you, Blue Star~"






MISTY BRIGHTDAWN PLAYS: SONIC GENERATIONS






"And finally, our last competitor today!" Sonic declared with a smile.

"Um... Sonic?" Misty's voice called out, but she couldn't be seen on-screen, because she was hiding below the desk. "A-Are you sure I can do this? I'm still afraid to be on-screen..."

"Come on now, Mist. Trust me!" Sonic assured her with a smile, as she grabbed her from her hidden spot and sat her on the chair at his side, while Misty felt a bit dizzy. "Once you start playing, you won't even remember that you're being recorded in the first place!"

Misty shook her head a bit dizzy, but once she was back to normal, her eyes moved the camera, and so, she freeze'd on her place with wide eyes.

Meanwhile, Sonic prepared the game and selected Modern Chemical Plant, but once he looked over at Misty, he smiled sheepishly. Still, he gave her the controller and moved her face towards the screen with the game, which free'd her from her shocked state.

"Just focus on the game, Mist!"

After hearing this, Misty took a deep breath, and looked determinately at he screen.

Soon, she started to boost across the level, collecting rings, and even moving over rails and Homing Attacking enemies, since she learned a lot from both Sunny and Pipp's gameplays.

"Whoa!" Sonic said with a smile. "I'm impressed, Mist! You're talented! You definitely forgot about the stream fast!"

However, after he said that, Misty's eyes widened, and she panicked again, so she hid below the desk again.

"Oops... I shouldn't had said that..." Sonic muttered with concern, before pausing the game. "Well, uh... Since the game ended up earlier than I expected, I guess we reached the end of 'The Sonic Walkthrough'. Thanks to everyone who joined us today! And if you have any more suggestions, please go follow me on my Ponygram account! That's all for today, guys! Gotta Go Fast!"

After saying this, Sonic boosted away, while the stream finally reached its end.


THE END
