8 More Bizarre Methods To Heal Yourself In Video Games

Now while technically the following method of healing isn't one that the player actively chooses to enact in the absolute raging tire fire that is Sonic '06 seeing as it occurs in a cutscene, it is something that proves to be incredibly effective in the sense that it brings Sonic back from the dead, while at the same time making everyone watching die a little inside.

I'm speaking of course about the now infamous moment where Sonic, having been straight up murdered by the titles antagonist Mephiles The Dark aka Solaris aka Iblis aka Flames of Disaster (seriously just pick one terrible playground moniker they're all as bad as each other and in all honest at least Flames of Disaster reflects the quality of the game you're in), is in need of some healing.

Which of course means that Princess Elise over here decides not to use the nebulous power of the Chaos Emeralds but instead plant a big wet smooch on his lips, becoming the kiss that launched a thousand yiffs and sending the furry community into meltdown.

Now, no judgment to the real-life furries out there but this was, from a gaming perspective a strange decision to have a kiss from a human bring a franchise mascot back to life, mainly because it felt totally lazy but also because literally no one saw it coming, and why the hell would we?

Also look at Knuckles in this moment, he's just trying to process all of this bless him and it's not going well apparently.
