Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I is a 2010 platform game developed by Dimps and Sonic Team and published by SEGA, intended as a direct follow up to the original Sonic games on the Sega Genesis in both story and gameplay. The Wii version of the game was played by The D-Pad in 2011. It was intended to be the 5th and final game of Sonic Week, but an unforeseen error resulted in the playthrough being abandoned after less than an episode and replaced with Knuckles' Chaotix. As such, it is the first incomplete playthrough uploaded to the channel. The game is planned to be revisited at a later date as part of The Super Sonic Let's Play.

After dealing with some technical issues, the group begin the intended final game of Sonic Week - Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I. Rick enters the first act of Splash Hill Zone, but is confronted with frame rate issues (none of which are visible on the video itself) that make the game nearly unplayable. He completes the act, then gives up on the game, changing to Knuckles' Chaotix instead. Rick plays through some of the opening area and enters Practice Mode, a tutorial, but decides to exit it before learning all of the controls.
