10 Gaming Moments Everyone Wishes They Could Unsee

10. Sonic Gets Kissed By A Human Woman - Sonic The Hedgehog (2006)

As long as Sonic the Hedgehog exists and people are playing his video games, fans will never be able to forget the single most infamous and stomach-churning moment in the series' history: that damn kiss.

2006's Sonic the Hedgehog reboot was intended to be a clean slate for the beleaguered franchise, and while the game as a large was panned by critics, its grandest crime was having Sonic make out with a human woman. Ewww.

After being killed by Mephiles near the end of the game, Sonic is resurrected with the Chaos Emeralds' power courtesy of Princess Elise, but for no apparent reason during the ritual, Elise plants a full-on kiss on Sonic's lips.

Beyond the obvious fact that Sonic is unconscious and can't consent to the kiss, going for the lips adds another layer of romantic weirdness to it.

Had Elise simply given Sonic a platonic peck on the forehead or cheek few would've been bothered, but going full-on bestiality invited thoughts and questions nobody ever wanted from a Sonic game of all things.
