Video: Know Your Non-Sonic ASR Characters

Tristan Oliver | February 9, 2010

For those Well Versed in Sonic, But Not Sega Fandom

Don’t know a Beat from a B.D. Joe?  Can’t tell apart Jacky from Akira?  What the Hell’s an Opa, anyway?

Have we got the series for you.

The YouTube channel BlastProcessed is producing a series of videos showing where some of the lesser known characters in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing are featured.  The series is geared toward Sonic fans in particular, and the intent is twofold: It gives viewers a better perspective of who they’re playing in-game, and it raises awareness of Sega’s overall history and lesser known franchises.

The video below is a prime example of what to expect.  The piece shows Opa-Opa‘s appearances from the Fantasy Zone franchise and in the Japanese ANIME Zillion.  We bet you didn’t know Opa-Opa was animated.

More videos are available at the link above, and more videos from BlastProcessed are expected in the coming days.

    Wow. I had no idea who Opa-Opa even was before this… Crazy…

    He he… I know Opa-Opa since I was 5 :) Fantasy Zone for Master System was one of the best games of the system, and Mega Drive / Arcade versions are wonderful too. I didn´t like Fantasy Zone 2 for MS that much, or that Fantasy Zone with PacMan gameplay…

    I absolutely love the design of the game (characters, enemies and levels), some bosses are really epic.

    Is this an example of why Sonic fans are POSs? Yes, yes it is.
