WHICH VERSION OF THE FOLLOWING GAMES IS BEST:

SONIC 1(nevermind finished this one already)
SONIC 2
SONIC CD
SONIC 3&K

MARATHONING WAITING FOR PC RELEASE OF MANIAAAAA

0% of what you said, 100% delusion. There was a cutscene in the Infinite trailer that showed Shadow hanging out with them.
How the hell did you get this idea?

Sonic 3&K (= or >, can't decide) CD > 2 > 1

3&K > CD > 2 > 1

YOU FUCKSTICKS I'M ASKING WHICH VERSION OF EACH GAME IS BETTER

I got close a few tines, but managed to make it through on my first play through. I actually did time over on my second play through, but I was mostly exploring more in that one.

Sonic CD is the best Sonic game after Mania. That's why Mania used 2 of its stages.

Does it bug anyone else that there are transitions between some zones and not others?

i've been sleeping and my internet been fucky as of late so i'm gonna lay out some stuff i've miss to some anons from the last thread

Just replace the palette, export the sprite sheet, and replace the frames of the sprites youre replacing with.

for editing and replacing the sprites and palettes in Sonic Battle, just use Paint or a similar raster graphics software
for recording and testing purposes, mGBA is the best option.

>Everything but 3K
Taxman version
>3K
Emulator, because that's what every single release is.

Otherwise we just don't know why he's on the bad guys side.

Master System Sonic 1 is the best version of Sonic 1.

I think that was partly it. I was exploring to make sure I had a healthy stock of lives/chaos emeralds, plus it was nice to see what layout changes were made to familiar zones

Taxman

Taxman
Sonic 3 Complete romhack

Mobile versions of 1 & 2. Alternatively the 3DS versions.
PC/Console/Mobile version of CD.
Complete mod for S3&K on PC.

did anyone actually make good use of the drop dash? half the time I forgot it was even an option

Pretty much. The levels are big and pretty fun to explore.

HARD MODE:
DIFFERENT SYSTEMS FOR EACH
(and PC doesn't count because I'm gonna play Mania on that)

Yeah, it really does, especially because the story coherency falls apart. Does Sonic get knocked off Little Planet after Stardust Speedway? We're left to assume. I would assume Heavy King was supposed to show up at that point.

Knuckles's extra level and two bosses seem kind of one-off as well. I'm wondering if they originally planned more differences between the routes.

Hopefully more zone transitions are patched in.

Sonic 1 for Master System
Amy in Sonic 2
Sonic CD 2011
Sonic 3 Complete

There were a couple times where I did, but not much. Without knowing the levels well, it's hard to use to it's full potential.

1 on 3DS
2 on mobile
CD on 360/PS3
3&K on Genesis

GBA
Genesis Collection on X360
Gems Collection on Gamecube
Mega Collection Plus on PS2

The bosses that weren't Eggman or HBH were pretty boring IMO, or maybe they just seem that way to me cause the others are fantastic. I would've preferred multiple battles against the the HBH

Hi, same user that posted his theory about the eventual appereance of Sonic Man in the comics before the cancelation. I have some writefag idea about an hypotetical Moebius Shadow, anyone interested?

IThe most egregious is Sonic, Tails and Knuckles all riding the Tornado at the start of Mirage Saloon. Would've been nice to see them all meet up at the end of Hydrocity and take off

Reposting new official wallpaper.

sure

Oh no you don't, you faker.

why does she only have one shoe on?

What the fuck is up with the scrolling on those foreground plants in Aquatic Ruin? They move way too fast

alternate version for those that want it

No, the problem is that they move too slow. Given that they're closer to the camera than the ground Sonic is standing in, it should move faster when scrolling

Being a fan of Crash Bandicoot, this is a great year for me. First the N Sane Trilogy and now Sonic Mania. I just hope both franchises can keep it up

>huge Mario game
>Sonic on a fucking high
>Crash going full force
It's like I'm back in the mid-90s.

So, basically our Shadow was originally a bad guy turned hero with a few slips in the process. So, our counterpart will be a good guy that becomes the villain with some traces of heel-face turn. He will be named Shine (yes, I'm going with the logic of the opposites here) and his fur is mostly white with purple or magenta stripes, and shorter quills. The reason of this palette is because the alien donating his blood is not the leader of a ravenous gang of man-eaters, but the boos of a race which their purpose is to help less developed civilization to reach their utopia. I still haven't decided the name of the race (the first will be white for sure), but the good version of Black Doom will be named White Boon. She/he donated part of their blood to our counterpart of Gerald, here unambigously villanious, in hopes that with his technology he can create a n ambassador of sort for the aliens that will be recollected after 50 years. Obviously he's going to use him as a superweapon to conquer the planet, but he's not gonna say it out loud. While Shine needs to get used to his powers, his only company he has apart from his creator is Maggie (our counterpart of Maria), a little brat that is basically the devil incarnate. She treats Shine like dirt and he can't do anything about it since she's Evil!Gerald's nephew. To her Shine is just an object, so her psychological abuse is never acknowleged by her and his uncle. (continuing in other post)

Not bad, honestly. Sounds pretty much like what I expect an bizarro Shadow to be, tbqh

If Bubsy can survive, anyone can.

After playing a bit more I've deduced that the real problem is that they move at all. They should just remain stationary, having them move the way they do (namely vertically) just confuses the hell out of me.

Incidentally I just found out that those falling pillar bits don't actually crush you.
They just push you underground where you'll keep rolling until you run out of oxygen and die.
Sonic 2 is a good game.

why does she make all those cute and squeaky robot noises?

What major stage gimmicks from the originals didn't make it in?

>Mushroom Hill gliders
>Mushroom Hill pully things
>Marble Garden spinner tops
>Gravity Switches

I wonder if any of these would have been used in a Heavy Rider level.

>I still haven't decided the name of the race (the first will be white for sure)
White Annex? White Sector?

>GBA

were there any Sonic Spinball references in Mania?

Holy crap Aquatic Ruin looks a lot like Press Garden here.

those spinning elevator platforms from Launch Base Zone?

>If it's not a big deal can you make a moveset for both characters that contains 4 special moves a super move and song related to the character?

Well, without knowing how deep the game mechanics are here are some suggestions I thought of. I don't know enough music to choose one.

Bump
>Butt Bump
>Ground Pound
>Boob Jiggle: Stat Boost for team
>Special: Bump Limit

Sage

>Claw Attack
>Bait: Stat Drain enemies
>Special: Shitstorm

I just read a fanfic where Shadow killed Amy to get closer to Sonic. What is wrong with shippers?

Since Iizuka said that the Sonic games take place within two different worlds, which Sonic and co. can freely move between, depending on what settings are desired, has anybody tried organizing which world each game takes place in? I'd assume the cartoonier and outlandish the design choices the more likely it would take place in Sonic's world while the ones that looks like it could be in our world take place in the Human world.

Bonus if she just appears with the gang in the mainline games without an explanation.

It's simple you see. By removing Amy, Shadow can fill in the obsessor role and gradually move closer to Sonic.

Does anyone notice the original soundtracks for Stardust Speedway and Metallic Madness sound more 80's while the Mania remixes sounds like something from the 90's?

Thanks!

Anyway, the government finds out Kintobor's plans and raids the place. The scientist sends out Shine to defend the base as soon as he sees the military arrive but due to some accident by Shine's part Maggie ends up shot. Her uncle is shocked by the fact, and realizes the error of his ways: he has created a monster, and the only hope for the world is to seal it until White Boon recollects him. So after calling Shine back after having finished dealing with the intruders (Shine at first was also appaled by Maggie's death but after a few minutes he concludes that he hated her and he's glad that he's gone) he tricks him, locking him in a cryogenic capsule. Needless to say, Shine was pissed about it. 50 years later, after being liberated by Ovi Kintobor, instead of having amnesia he remembers everything and concludes that humans after all are nothing but beings full of hate and misery, since he only knew his creator and Maggie for an extended period of time. So, after escaping both Kintobor's and Scourge's allies, he travels the world for a year and notes that not all of them are as bad as he thought; but at the same time he sees many wrongdoings and cruelty, and he asks himself what he should do about it: he thinks of himself as a weapon after all, he must use his powers against some enemy. Just as he ponders that, White Boon arrives just as planned. (continuing)

SEGA is planning on making some games centered around some side characters of the Sonic franchise. All they need help with is coming up with some ideas on what type of game would go best with which character.
If you were to make a game revolving around these specific characters, how would you do it?

I assume SA1, SA2, Shadow, 06, and Unleashed take place on Earth. Heroes, Colors, Generations, Lost World, and Forces are in Sonic's World.

Yeah, it does. I'm optimistic for a patch but I don't think it's likely. No one's really crying about it and giving Taxxy a real reason to add them in except for a few people here (with good reason) because as one of you anons said, the story's coherency kind of falls apart a great deal.

I'm hoping the reason some don't exist is actually because they didn't have time to finish them all. It'd be a really strange decision to just leave some out and others in.

What classic zones would you pick for Mania 2? Assume anything that was in Mania can't be reused.

>Implying he wouldn't actually do that if he fell in love with the blue.

Omega: STG.
Cream: Puzzle-platformer, perhaps like the GBA Klonoa games.
Merlina: An action game with a heavily customisable magic system.

>Freedom Fighters.
>Lyric.
Dropped.

Star Light
Mystic Cave
Icecap
Mushroom Hill
Tidal Tempest
The rest are new zones.

I'd pick:
Angel Island
Spring Yard
Casino Night
Mystic Cave
Ice Cap

So are the many glitches in the console version going to be fixed in a future patch or what? Do we know if they're going to be fixed in the PC version? They just said the PC version was being delayed for "optimization issues". Will we riot if those glitches aren't actually fixed?

And if they knew there were glitches in the game (based on the frequency of people running into them, they HAD to know) why didn't they delay all releases instead of just the fucking PC version?

The game looks awesome but holy shit.

Eggman, the world is too big for you! Leave Sonic to me! YOU CAN JUST DIE!

You know Shadow never had amnesia until he nearly killed himself fighting Biohazard, right? Aside from that incredibly stupid slip of memory of Maria's incredibly important last request of him, he remembered everything about the Ark when Eggman woke him up.

is there a list of these glitches?

It was probably easier to delay the PC version than the console versions.

Crystal Egg
Atomic Destroyer
Robotnik Winter
Death Egg (Wreckage)
Basically I want the team to have as much reason to make completely new levels as possible and the GG have some fucking sick zone names.

actually, that's a point. I'd like to see zones from games like sonic spinball or 3d blast remixed into zones with 'normal' structures

I never played CD, why was Metal Sonic sort of half-transparent with birds attached to him at the end of Stardust Speedway?

Yeah, Toxic Caves, Lava Powerhouse, Diamond Dust, Puppet Panic, there's a lot of potential.

>If you were to make a game revolving around these specific characters, how would you do it?
easy

Does anyone know where Booru-user went? The last major update was months ago.

It was a hologram to...scare animals away or something.

Is anybody more rejected than Amy is?

That was a fucking hologram you dongus.

that would be pretty cool, and I'd love to hear Tee Lopes remix some of 3D Blast's Saturn tunes.

Everyone in this thread I would assume.

I thought he was frozen in time or some shit since I know time travel is involved with CD

why... exactly is there a hologram of him to scare animals away? doesn't eggman need them to power his badniks?

Can't be rejected if you've given up, pham

Rejected by Sonic since 1993. I don't know how Amy does it.

CDniks are powered by magic flower seeds or some shit. Not sure why they needed to be scared away.

It's from CD. The past versions of each stage (with the exception of Metallic Madness, the last zone) had a badnik generator and a Metal Sonic hologram like the ones in Mania. Destroying the badnik generator got rid of all enemies in the stage, while destroying the hologram made the little animals appear throughout the stage. Notably, CD doesn't have animals pop out of destroyed badniks, but seeds that immediately grow into flowers.
