286 - 20 Years of SONIC RUSH

This week we're celebrating the birth of the boost mechanic in Sonic games, the blue blur's first use of the Nintendo DS' dual screens, and a pretty funky soundtrack. Sonic Rush turned 20 this year, which gave KC, Stuart, and Viper (briefly) an excuse to discuss this iconic handheld game.
