''Genesis does what Nintendon't.''

'''[[Sega]]''' is a popular manufacturer of video game hardware and software that rivaled [[Nintendo]] in the '80s and '90s. [[Homestar Runner]] and his [[Characters|pals]] allude to Sega games from time to time, and [[Sega Tapes|Sega tapes]] can often be found lying around in their homes.

In spite of many Sega references on the site, [[The Brothers Chaps]] revealed in [[Kotaku Interview - 13 Jun 2008|an interview]] that they turned down a game offer from Sega of America. One of the reasons given was they had never owned a Sega console (but had friends who did).

== Appearances ==

* [[Strong Bad's Website]] — Upon loading, an audio file will play "Welcome to your doom!" from [[Altered Beast]].
* [[Awexome Cross]] — [[The Cheat]] in a tire does a "Spin Dash" in various parts of the game, as Sonic the Hedgehog does.
* [[Stinkoman 20X6]]
** After defeating The Liekand in Level 6, it transforms into a mouse. This may be a reference to the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] series for the [[Sega Mega Drive|Sega Genesis]], in which defeated enemies almost always revealed their power sources, which were various animals.
** The intro animation is framed and compressed in a similar manner to the original Sega CD release of ''Sonic CD''.
* [[Kid Speedy]] — The end scene with [[Marzipan]] and [[Homestar Runner]] driving into the sunset references [[OutRun]].
* Email [[more armies]] — Homestar attempts to play a "Sega tape" using a Sega Genesis controller.
* [[Kick-A-Ball]] — Homestar calls "Sonic! I mean, Tails!" on the coin toss, referencing Sonic the Hedgehog, and his sidekick Miles "Tails" Prower.
* [[Poker Night at the Inventory]] — Strong Bad compares Tycho's hair to "a greasy hedgehog... unassociated with any video game license", referring to the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
