SegaSonic Popcorn Shop

SegaSonic Popcorn Shop is an arcade vending machine released in 1993, exclusively in Japan. Created by Sega AM1 and released by Sega on Sega's System C2 board, hardware like the one on the Sega Genesis, it is a combination of a popcorn machine and a mini-game. The vending machine dispenses popcorn in one of three flavors: salted, butter or curry.

 

The small screen of the vending machine features a mini-game, starring Sonic and Tails, who assist in making popcorn while Dr. Eggman tries to ruin the event. While the mini-game is being played, actual popcorn is being microwaved in a nearby compartment. Like in many early Sonic-related arcade games, Takeshi Kusao and Masaharu Satō provided the voices of Sonic and Dr. Eggman.
