| + | !Name |
| − | *S&K was launched and marketed less like a game and more like a Hollywood motion picture. [[Pamela Kelly]] came up with the idea/organized [[Rock the Rock]]. Possibly more information [https://www.abc4.com/gtu/how-sonic-knuckles-came-to-be-and-the-journey-of-creating-it/ here].
| + | !Location represented |
| − | *MTV was seemingly only involved with the Alcatraz and video editing side of the tournament, but that needs to be verified. (Where did I hear this?)
| + | !Rings |
| − | *Some mention of a "high speech chase between the city streets". ??

| + | |274 |
| − | *Neat source [https://the-avocado.org/2020/04/03/franchise-festival-85-sonic-the-hedgehog-1991-1996/ here]. "Five additional participants in the event were randomly selected from a pool of people who called into a dedicated phone line."
| + | |- |
| − | *Features interviews/segments with [[STI]]'s General Manager [[Roger Hector]], Technical Director [[Adrian Stephens]], Music Director [[Howard Drossin]], and Artists [[Kunitake Aoki]] and [[Chris Senn]], as well as [[Sega Test (division)]]'s (Lead) Game Testers [[Aron Drayer]], [[Janine Cook]] (misspelled Jamine), [[Marcus Montgomery]], and [[Tracy Johnson]].

| + | |2nd |
| − | *JP Tournament was known as "World Championship Japan Tournament", held at [[Yokohama Joypolis]] some good shots/video snippets of it in the video. Sponsored by Pioneer (and a second company, but I can't catch a legible still)
| + | |[[Chris Tang]] |
| − | *Don't forget to pull the special's production credits. Start there, work backwards.
| + | |[[wikipedia:San Francisco, California|San Francisco, California]] |
| − | *Is all the crazy editing in this video like... MTV's take on SoA's marketing? Like MTV goes "Ok we got hired by SoA, let's try to imitate their style, with the fast edits and in your face crap", but because they're MTV and not SoA it comes out as a little better but slightly different-feeling? I THINK this may have been produced by the same company which did that frickin one video with Al Nilsen's face floating and stretching around the screen as he just sits there and quietly talks. Welcome to the Next Living Room? do we even have a page on that atrocity
| + | |248 |
| − | *"Sonic & Knuckles International Preliminary Tournaments" is the 'official' name for exactly that.
| + | |- |
| − | *19 places listed on the "contestants are from these places" section. Non-US places are: Sao Paolo Brazil, Yokohama Japan, Ottawa Canada, Hamburg Germany. So 19 competitors? Sega Visions says 16 US Hard Rocks. So why are there 4 international locations? Are there actually 20 contestants, with two from the same place (so it's only listed once?) Just an error?
| + | |3rd |
| − | *EDIT THE ABOVE "SIXTEEN HARD ROCKS" THING. Just don't wanna edit spam rn so fix it on the next pass. Don't forget a link to Brinks for context

| − | *Uhm those police bikes aren't real are they? ofc not, but dang they got their lights on and everything
| |
| − | *Some kinda pre-tournament event thing being held Sunday morning at Pier 41. Bellamy on a stage (I think near the aquarium/bushman area) getting a crowd of ppl hyped up, which are likely just the public - there's easily enough tourists in that area but who knows.

| − | *Although they got from Hard Rock to the airport in individual limos, their hotel > pier transportations was a single prison bus, keeping with the theme.
| |
| − | *Officers are taking cartoon sacks of money from the Brinks truck. The sacks have giant dollar bills on them. This is awesome.
| |
| − | *oh frick what hotel is that. street view it. and why are they getting into a limo when theyre later showing up at the pier on the bus. also check clothes to times/etc.
| |
| − | *Lots of good shots of different tournament places. MIGHT BE [[Yuji Naka]] in frame to the right at 3:25. And WOW look at that Sonic logo in the back there, is that the modern logo? This was late 1994, either way, neat.
| |
| − | *I can't stop watching this fake hotel guest get body slammed out the way. And now the cops are walking besides the limo in live traffic these balls.
