I revisit a 2002 April Fools joke from Electronic Gaming Monthly. Coming off the heels of Sega's becoming a third party publisher, EGM falsely told readers that there was a way to unlock Sonic and Tails in Super Smash Brothers Melee.

I did a bit of research and was surprised to learn that there may have actually been talks about Sonic in SSBM, albeit Sonic's debut would have to wait another six years.
