Mental Moment #1 - FC Sonic

Virtua Striker 3 Ver. 2002 (GameCube, Sega, 2002)

This is the first in a series I'm calling "Mental Moments". I know it's slightly politically incorrect (you're not supposed to say "mental" these days) but I couldn't think of anything else that sounded half-decent. Basically, this is a series of weird and wonderful moments and strange features that set certain football games apart from any others.

The first of these is one of the two hidden teams in good old Virtua Striker 3 (don't worry, one more update and I'm totally done with this game). In the game's unique Ranking mode, where you play a number of games and are then given a rank, you collect a number of points depending on how well you did (anything from one point to five). When you collect 20 points in total you unlock FC Sonic for use in any game mode.

As you'd expect by the name, FC Sonic is a team comprising of Sonic The Hedgehog characters. Sonic and Tails are strikers, supported by Amy Rose and Knuckles in midfield. Dr Eggman (or Robotnik if you're old-school) is the goalie and the rest of the team is made up from those little Chao things that have been kicking around Sonic games since the Dreamcast days.

Anyway, here's a video of FC Sonic in action:
