How about a Lava Reef where the Death Egg actually crashed through the volcano




That would be super cool

Does that mean a level that's a mix of Lava Reef and a busted-up-but-still-somewhat-functional Death Egg because that sounds like the best thing ever.

That boss was probably the most epic thing ever for me at age 10.

Kid me was convinced that if you hit him enough times before he flew off he'd drop the master emerald.

I never could. :(

I used to fight Mecha Sonic as Knuckles over and over and had the boss fight music for the first and second phases in my head basically 100% of the time when I was in 2-3rd grade

It's only right that the Death Egg would be the final zone.

I was always hoping for a sequel to Sonic 3 where the last level was "the Second Death Egg", and it's half-complete and has the superstructure showing like the 2nd Death Star in Return of the Jedi.

This is of course ignoring that both Sonic the Fighters and Sonic 4 had a Death Egg II. The Fighters one is weird and has all these balls hanging off it and the one from Sonic 4 is more of a Starkiller Base since it's the Little Planet converted into a weapon.

That said, what does the Death Egg even do? The Death Star blows up planets but if Robotnik blew up Möbius he wouldn't have a planet anymore. I always assumed it would just roboticize all life on the planet but that's kind of an Archie \ SatAM thing.

Speaking of Sonic the Fighters, in the intro it had this really cool upgraded version of Metal Sonic that transformed into a rocket, so I was always hoping for a Metal Sonic MK II as well. Maybe just combine Metal Sonic from Sonic CD and Mecha Sonic from Sonic 3. As a kid I always thought they were interchangeable anyway, which is confused by the fact that the Archie comic called Metal Sonic "Mecha Sonic" in their CD and Chaotix adaptations, then just called him "Metal Sonic" later, and there was also a "Mecha Sonic" that was just Sonic roboticized. And there was also a Silver Sonic which was Sonic 2's Mecha Sonic.

Confused yet? Good.

That was a Mecha Sonic and he was actually built by Tails as a spy robot.

I believe the Death Egg's primary function is to look like an egg sphere.

Sonic 2's death egg space ship thingy could fire lasers, so maybe 3's could as well and we just never saw it happen. But it's definitely this:

I don't think it's important what it does other than Robotnik made it, literally named it the Death Egg. IMO Sonic was well within his duty and moral obligation to bring it down because sonic is a good man.

Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 death egg are the same one. Don't remember it lasering though.

poo poo yes! We need to signal boost the idea that for mania 2 they do levels encroaching on other levels. Lava Reef leaking into the Death Egg. Oil Ocean spilling into Metropolis zone. The edges of a ruined chemical plant falling into Aquatic Ruin. The Ice cap collapsing into the launch base.

Obviously Robotnik was a Star Wars fan and built it to be a copy of the Death Star down to the laser, except he didn't think it through beyond "I MUST build a Death Star but with MY FACE on it!!"

I thought an awesome idea would be Green Egg Zone; Death Egg crashed and abandoned, huge mile-high cracks in the background shell letting in light, plants growing over the inside and water in the bottom.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

No, but remember the Lava Reef boss? The eyes flashed and the whole cavern exploded. Don't need lasers when you can set everything on fire.

Sonic is a franchise of cool sounds, like hitting robotnik in 3, sky sanctuary teleporters, bouncing on mushrooms, the cannons twisting in carnival night.
I was thinking about the best sonic sound the other day but i cant remember it now and its driving me mad!!

I actually liked that idea and I wish it wasn't wasted on a game like Sonic 4. It also kinda bugs me that we'll never know what happened to it.

I cant believe i forgot one of my favourite sounds ever, the weird rear end woehh from the sky sanct clouds. The other noises.mentioned are quality as hell though.
Another amazing sound: the sound in bumpers in cnz, which also happens when you spin on top of the blue marble garden discs and land on them over and over (you did this and you loved it)

Another great sound is the one that accompanies the flash as Mecha Sonic powers up and turns gold. And the sound he makes right after Knuckles beats him
