Retro Videogame Trivia

[Loki]

Like the Pavilion trivia game first person to get the question right posts another. No questions from current or next gen consules.

QUESTION THE FIRST: In Sonic the Hedgehog how many seconds can you stay underwater without air before you lose a life?

Re: Retro Videogame Trivia

Smurvis, you don't know anything about bidding.

Re: Retro Videogame Trivia

Kefka I want to give you rep but I'm to much of a moron to figure out how.


Since Loki's not here Czechs is right so he should ask the next question.

No one has gotten it right so far.

Re: Retro Videogame Trivia

20 seconds

Re: Retro Videogame Trivia

Yeah they have. It's thirty-five seconds. Unless you're going for some kind of trick question thing like after thirty seconds a five second counter comes up and then you die.

Re: Retro Videogame Trivia

Oops. I miscounted. Smurvis is right. 30 seconds.

Yeah. I thought it was that.

In this game, Sonic cannot breathe in water. Once you enter any
pool of water, you have to thirty seconds to get out before a 5-second
countdown appears. If the countdown reaches zero, then you drown and lose a
life. It's as simple as that. However, to make your life easier, there are also
these "air bubbles" in the water to prevent you from drowning. To inhale an air
bubble, just touch it, and you'll hear a strange noise indicating that you've
inhaled the bubble, and delayed the countdown for another thirty seconds.

Of course maybe my source is wrong.

Re: Retro Videogame Trivia

It should be 30 seconds with the counter. 18 seconds of normal music, with chimes at 5, 10, and 15 seconds. Then 12 seconds with the counter before you die.

But now you guys have shaken my confidence in this matter.

Well, it's very possible IRC and I both had no clue what the answer was and both pretended like we knew after looking at the same article on GameFAQs.
