BECAUSE GENEROSITY. And Christmas.
So Vector is down and out of luck as Espio kicked him out of their flat, and a neighbourly blue hedgehog walks by after having relationship issues.
And what better way to solve your problems than with MONEY? (Don’t trust me: I’m a terrible role model.)

And because I’m generous, there’s an extra Sonic/Avenue Q video after the jump!
A Billy Hatcher Mash-Up Monday? CyanBlur, I approve!
The Gamecube classic’s main theme is thrown together with Savannah Citadel Day for Mazuri from Sonic Unleashed!

Found an interesting mash-up out there on the world wide web? Have one of your own you’d like to see featured on TSS? If so, then send what you got over to vizardjeffhog@sonicstadium.org!
And you dare call innocent Tails out for “stooping that low”! Sheesh, I knew you were a knucklehead, but a hypocrite too?
What a jerk!

Ho ho ho! We at the Sonic Stadium hope you are all getting into the festive spirit!
If you’re still not feeling it quite yet (or you haven’t seen the Coca Cola advert on TV) here are some announcements that might help you get in the mood!
Mike Pollock to Attend London Gaming Con
The London Gaming Convention returns next year on May 4th and 5th with two days of activities including arcade gaming to cosplaying.

It’s too cold outside. We need more hotblooded mash-ups. Good thing for Mash-Up Mondays!
For this December week, we have just the remedy: Labrys’ boss theme, The Ultimate in Mayonaka, from Persona 4: Arena appears to work incredibly well with Sweet Mountain from Sonic Colours! Definitely one hot mix!

You know you broke the speed limit in Speed Highway when…
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZK0Ul1N–g
…REALLY!?
Talk about “Speed Limit Enforced by Aircraft”, am I right?
Now here’s a classic!
Now how many of you aren’t familiar with Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive? It’s only been played a million times over the past few decades!
Whether you are familiar with the tune or not, here’s a mash-up of it and At Dawn… for Speed Highway, brought to you by MegaMacTV!

Now this Mash-Up Monday… This one right here is beautiful. Dear Wind Waker-level beautiful.
For today, we have Crush 40’s Live Life from Sonic and the Black Knight combined with Still Alive from Mirror’s Edge.
I just can’t stop listening to this without all my feels being perturbed. It’s too beautiful a mash-up to be put down!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhWQ6iBDlW0
Newbiespud, thank you so much for this gem.

…for Sonic!
And we don’t mean that of the hedgehog variety.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSz-Fs06qjM
I see that look: a look of shock and awe has somehow been plastered onto your face! Is it because you’ve just heard Eggman go into detail about various foods and great deals from the fast food chain ironically sharing the name of a famous blue hedgehog? Or is it possibly because of the unbelievable voice actor behind Eggman here, who goes by the name of Kyle Boyle (also known as BoyleVoices)?
…I dunno, must be the first thing. Just a hunch.
In any case, since that was so good, why don’t we listen to the jolly ol’ doc again? I know, how about we hear Eggman as he chatters with glee upon finally obtaining…
Selecting characters for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing: Transformed has been no easy task for the SUMO Digital team, with many fans voicing their opinions as to which SEGA characters they want to see included in the roster.
A few days ago, Steve Lycett of SUMO Digital (otherwise known as S0L on the interwebs) issued the community a challenge via the SEGA forums:
I’ll set you a challange. Without any policing from the SUMO or SEGA crew, if you can all agree on three characters by the 1st of December and prove there is sufficient interest of at least 1000 unique people *per* character, I will present the result to SEGA. I can’t promise anything will happen as a result, but since you’re starting it…
While nothing is set in stone as to what the outcome of any response will be, the community have already formed a collective and responded. T B from the SEGA forums has organised a set of petitions for the introduction of several SEGA characters as DLC for ASR:T.
Included in the list of characters you can petition for are Axel Stone from Streets of Rage, Ristar, Segata Sanshiro and Bayonetta amongst a whole host of familiar characters.
If you want to participate by adding your signature to one or more of the petitions, follow this link to the SEGA forum which outlines what is required to add your name to the cause.

HOLD IT! Don’t move anywhere just yet! This Mash-Up Monday trial has only just begun!
Two crucial pieces of evidence have been brought forward, thanks to Eggman Enterprises. The first was found at the scene of the crime: Logic and Trick of the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series has been found mashed with Sonic 3 & Knuckles’ Competition theme on the edge of Angel Island. Any reasons as to why you think this happened, defendant?
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMcnESVyGwM
The second piece has been a lot more difficult to track… about as difficult as cornering ghouls at the Pyramid Cave, wouldn’t you say?

We’ve seen Professor Pickle get modded into Unleashed thanks to Melpontro… We’ve seen him tackle a whole pack of robots through his homeland and neighbouring countries…
…but now, he sets foot on Angel Island’s Red Mountain zone.
Godspeed, Professor.

HYES! Someone get Captain Falcon on the line! These moves need to be shown to the world!
This week’s Mash-Up Monday is a real blast! Mute City of F-Zero fame gets crossed over with Shadow the Hedgehog!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrcjFAOuung
Special thanks to Shadowlink4321 for making such a thing possible.
In the meantime, I’ll be punching things righteously. With a flaming falcon. Bursting out of my arm.
Think you found a better mash-up than this out there? Or do you think yours has what it takes to contend against this one here? If so, then let me know at captainfalcon@…. wait a minute… vizardjeffhog@sonicstadium.org!
A few months back we heard the tragic story of four year-old Sonic the Hedgehog fan Dylan Cecil, who tragically drowned after slipping from a jetty while on holiday this summer. The funeral, in which he was buried in a Sonic coffin, was reported on several Sonic news sites and moved many in the community.
Several community sites have been in discussion about fund raisers, and so thanks to some very kind donations from SEGA and webmasters, several very rare items of Sonic the Hedgehog merchandise are being auctioned off via eBay over the coming weeks.
Below are some of the eBay listings for items in this sale:
15th Anniversary Sprite T-Shirt
20th Anniversary Numbered Gold Ring
All of the profits will go towards the Burnham Area Rescue Boat fund at the request of the Cecil family. Dig deep for a good cause.
Things suck when you’re Silver the Hedgehog.
Especially when you’re forced into given the task to make a certain black hedgehog smile.

Pump it LOUDER!

Enjoy!

Internet funnymen JonTron and Egoraptor premiered a new playthrough just an hour ago on their gaming/comedy channel, Game Grumps!

Let us see…

Happy Halloween blue believers! Ah Halloween, I still have fond memories of wearing a homemade Dracula cape (which was amazing) walking through the cold October streets knocking on peoples doors, filling my goody bag with all manner of amazing things.
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year (along with Christmas Day and Pancake Day) and it feels like every year more people get into it. So with that in mind, I’ve decided to take a look at my top 5 scary/Halloween related Sonic moments. Whilst some may not be strictly Halloween related, they scared me and others then, and may still scare some people now. So without further ado, hit the read more link to see my Top 5 scary/Halloween related Sonic moments.
This week’s Mash-Up Monday has been brought to you by SEGASonic: Radio!

Troysson81 is a saint.
No, really. It takes a saint to have to rewatch nearly every cutscene in Sonic 2006 and have the patience to make a music video out of its dialogue.
And it’s too addicting to put down.

Also, if you spot the in-music reference, congratulations! You earned bragging rights!

Continuing the discussion party on from Part 1, Pete “TitansCreed” Nethercote and Svend “Dreadknux” Joscelyne keep the ball rolling around at the speed of sound on The Sonic Stadium’s 12th anniversary for the second part of the newest Community Spotlight!
Stay tuned for celebratory shiznit on the site, folks! At the moment, we just need rings, emeralds, a nice green hill to celebrate on, food, party cannons, party hats, maybe a doctor we haven’t seen in a while… And of course, super awesome activities! Don’t go away, ’cause this is all coming real soon, and it’s gonna be brilliant!
httpv://youtu.be/1HB4cJor9xk
Happy 12th Anniversary to The Sonic Stadium! And hey, you know what this calls for!?
A PARTY!
To commemorate this occasion, TitansCreed turns the Community Spotlight on us this time! To those unknowing, the Community Spotlight is when Pete highlights individuals or groups who have made an impact in the SEGA/Sonic fandom.
So, to celebrate our anniversary, joining him as the discussion leads to The Sonic Stadium’s history and impact in the fandom is no one but the head honcho of TSS himself – the mother-loving Sonical Batman and the founding father of the site, Svend “Dreadknux” Joscelyne!
Part 2 is to go live on Thursday!
“Megamix” is right! What a gargantuan mash-up!
Hauntershadow, who you may recall as the one behind the Bowser vs. Eggman mash-up a while back, put this together… and holy hell, what a masterpiece!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr9Pia_JVvM
In fact, head on after the jump to see a list of all the tracks that have been put together!

Consider this an early Halloween treat from Steven Page, also known as the guy behind Balena Productions! So, if you’re into Freak-Outs, great machinima videos, jokers, quality entertainment, Sonic and Tails bro-ing out, Halloween candy, and spot-on voice work, then you’ve definitely come to the right place.
Then again, being on TSS automatically puts you in the right place, but I digress!
From the entertainment channel that brought you Sonic in JAWS and The OMG most Original fanfic Idea EVER, Balena Productions presents…

Living up to its name, the Community Spotlight does indeed highlight communities and people of the Sonic fandom from all over the world: this episode is no exception to that rule!
Today, TitansCreed chats with the folks from the Spanish Sonic news site, Sonic Paradise! Of the Paradise team, Fabian Cerda (Jack Wallace), Andrea Gil (Ash the Dragon), and Alberto Carmona (RACCAR) join Pete as they discuss the site and its background.
As it is also Kirby’s 20th anniversary this year, it’s only appropriate to give the little pink warrior a proper send-off, right?
So, we’ll honour the music of the Kirby franchise through Mash-Up Monday! A mash-up truly fit for a King!
The Masked Dedede battle theme from Kirby Super Star Ultra‘s Revenge of the King is combined with Sonic Adventure 2‘s Rhythm and Balance for White Jungle!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqpSS8dwki4
We could use more Sonic/Kirby mash-ups…
Found an interesting mash-up on the web? Have one of your own you’d like to see get featured? If so, then send what you have over to vizardjeffhog@sonicstadium.org!
Sonic Generations in one minute, as told by the folks at LORE! This is about as “long story short” as it gets!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHeIE9NShWk
A special combination indeed…
For this week, we bring you a mash-up that can only be described as special. Fans of The Legend of Zelda will surely be pleased with this one!
Mashed together by Shadowlink4321, Dear Wind Waker is as written. The ending credits theme to Wind Waker fuses with that of Sonic Unleashed: Dear My Friend!
And thus, I dedicate this Mash-Up Monday to my own special friend, who I hold very dear.

What better way to celebrate the upcoming release of Sonic Adventure 2 HD on XBLA, PSN, and PC, than with this ?
We’ve got quite a super Mash-Up Monday for you all today! Those who cannot withstand mash-up power levels exceeding 9000 are advised to proceed with caution. (There, I just saved you all the joke.)
The main theme to the Dreamcast classic, Crush 40’s Live and Learn, fuses with Bruce Faulconer’s SSJ3 Ascension theme from Dragonball Z to commemorate this great occasion! Super Sonic and Super Saiyan Goku? Now that, I dig.

Remember our good ol’ pal Elson “Darkspeeds” Wong? How about that animated adaptation of Archie Comics’ Sonic Universe – The Silver Saga he put together?
To those unfamiliar, the Sonic Comic Dramas aren’t mere scans of the actual comics themselves! Far from it, in fact: voice acting, sound effects, special effects, camera pans, original art, and music all contribute to the Dramas, and I’m not kidding when I say it’s high quality work right there! Reading the comics suddenly feels a whole lot more cinematic now!
All I’m missing is the popcorn, but that can easily be rectified.
So, whether or not you follow the Archie comics, get a load of the latest entry in the series! Adapting select scenes from issues #217 and #218, we take a look at some of Bunnie Rabbot’s backstory in A Rabbot Reunion! Featuring Kovabomb as Sonic and Evan Stanley as Bunnie!
In the meantime, why not check out the previous entries of Elson’s animated adaptations as well? Links are available after the jump!

Trekking on to Part 2, TitansCreed’s coverage on Sonic Wrecks continues for the newest episode of the Community Spotlight. Once again, TC is joined by AAUK, Blake Draco, Rabid-Noodles, Ram the Dragon, and TA Black of the Sonic Wrecks crew!
To listen to Part 1 of the Sonic Wrecks Community Spotlight, head on here!
This was borderline Freak-Out Friday material… But hey, why not start our week off with this?
Like a bad joke, Arique decided to combine the infamous Carnival Night Zone’s music with the hypnotic Afro Circus by Marty, the zebra of Madagascar fame.
The result? This addicting mash-up!
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP1v5sGM56w
Okay, now remove Carnival Night from the equation, and replace it with Oil Desert.
Worst part of this is: I’m not even joking. No, seriously.
That Tornado is really carrying a car.
