For 30 years Sonic the Hedgehog has been saving the world from Dr. Eggman. But now in his 30s is he prepared to face his toughest opponents yet: mortgage, weight gain and marriage problems? To explore Sonic's mid-life crisis we invited a real rock star: @JohnnyGioeliOfficial of @Crush40! The voice behind famous songs from Sonic OST: "Open Your Heart" (Sonic Adventure), "Live and Learn" (Sonic Adventure 2), "What I'm Made Of" (Sonic Heroes), "I Am... All of Me" (Shadow the Hedgehog) and many more.

Damn, Sonic final boss music lyrics are getting a little personal now.
-
The man is 54 years old and still KILLS IT on the mic. Legend.
-
I wouldn't mind an entire movie about this timeline. An action-comedy adult movie where Eggman decides to take over the world again, Sonic has to actually do something that isn't food delivery to make money, maybe Tails even joining in, excited to do something that isn't office work, and at the end of it all Eggman and Sonic have this funny little moment where they both just go "I miss the good old days" and that was Eggman's motive the entire time
-
I love the way this acknowledges the fact that as sonic gets older he will slow down, but age will not effect eggman at all because his robots do the work!
-
The animation looks like an official Sonic cartoon. Except with way more existential crisis in it. This is incredible!
-
Damn this hits kind of hard. Wasn't expecting that.
-
And then Sonic Frontiers happened, an amazing opportunity for Sonic. Though his voice had changed over his years, despite his race having a slow aging process, he still killed the role with actually good writing. He got medical care, paid off his debt, and he's ready to start up again.
-
Dude seeing sonic in his 30’s and being a retired hero is such a cool concept. The part when he gets that heroic shine in his eye after what seems like years and he stops eggman is just… I can only explain it like this. “WHOA WHOA WHAT’S HAPPENING- HOLY SHIIIIII AHHHH!”
-
All those references, from the lyrics to the visuals are hilarious, it's a super well done video, even the download link is called "Crush 30" LOL
-
I like how Sonic can still run fast even though he's getting older.
-
I am the same age as Sonic Adventure and I feel this on an emotional level
-
Pay respects to tails he looks more tired than any adult you can see his depression
-
Two things Sonic has that most men don't have at 30: 1. He still gots it with the ladies. 2. He's got someone who loves him.
-
this is amazing, all of the references really put it together
-
I love the fact that despite all humiliation Sonic has to endure, he still smiles
-
I love how he does his sonic unleashed expression at 1:27
-
Hearing Johnny's voice just one more time. You've truly blessed us with a gift. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
-
I absolutely love the “where are they now”-ness of all this, it’s a super cool concept and execution.
-
I always thought that Sonic would have some semblance of 4th wall breaking self awareness when it comes to his age. Mario hasn't changed really at all, but Sonic literally has eras of his life portrayed in games and comics and now movies. I think seeing Sonic still persist and be as carefree as he can, as adventurous as always with a tad more wisdom is actually really cool. Very nice video.
