Plot
Scott begins the video explaining the legacy of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the SEGA Genesis, and how to some, it has aged poorly, he explains how he grew up with the game and as such, his opinions may be considered biased. He then goes on to explain his history with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and his thoughts on the games he's played of it.

While Scott is looking at his options for where to play Sonic the Hedgehog, he notices his copy of it for the SEGA Genesis is the "SEGA Classic" variant, he then quickly throws it away in disgust, where it conveniently lands in an open toilet. This leads Scott into a short tangent about "special edition" covers for games, which he despises. After this, Scott finally takes a look at the game and gives his thoughts about it as a whole.

While summarizing his thoughts of the game, Scott slowly realizes how much he actually dislikes it, stating "This game reeks". He then proceeds to throw the game cartridge, presumably into the toilet again, only for it to end up in a SEGA Genesis console right next to the toilet. Scott exclaims about how lucky he is.
