Great job to the @sonic_hedgehog team and everyone behind-the-scenes for their hard work today! (And the fans for asking ~30,000 questions!)

As always, @itsamike, @RogerCraigSmith, @VOKirk, @VOColleen, @KatieChrz, @ThormannJustin and @TheFantasticIan knocked it out of the park! https://t.co/96p0GaMN6a

In the post-takeover hours, I see many pangs of regret from those who went unanswered. But please understand that you were competing against about 30,000 others.

I face similar competition with every audition I submit, so I feel your pain, but you can't take it personally. https://t.co/iizqNNzxgH

— Mike Pollock (@itsamike) September 16, 2021

Many thanks to everyone who joined us for the Twitter Takeover yesterday! They're complicated projects to pull off under the best of circumstances, let alone remotely. The @sonic_hedgehog crew did an amazing job!
I can see why you're fans of the account and the folks behind it.💙

— Roger Craig Smith (@RogerCraigSmith) September 16, 2021

What an incredible amount of work the entire @sonic_hedgehog crew put into this! So honored to have been invited.
Thanks for allowing this goofball to be a small part of an awesome event! Much love to the Sonic community for joining us and I'm looking forward to the next one!💙

— Roger Craig Smith (@RogerCraigSmith) September 16, 2021

What a day. Thank you all SO much for the tens of thousands of questions!

The biggest shoutouts to @RogerCraigSmith, @itsamike, @VOColleen, @VOKirk, @ThormannJustin, @TheFantasticIan, and everyone else behind-the-scenes at @BLKBX for making this day such a blast. 💛 https://t.co/2yxFrdGS7S

You're a total pro, Katie! A phenomenal event! All the hard work shows and is very much appreciated/enjoyed by the Sonic community! CAN IT BE NEXT YEAR ALREADY? I wanna do another one NOW!🤓
Thanks for wrangling us vocal goofballs to participate.💙👊

OMG These two.

Which meme-y frame of TSR: Overdrive did you like the most?


Mine is Dr. Eggman dancing at the end. Such a smooth move.

And it somehow reminds me of this awesome dance by Nathan Barnatt.
