Why does the Sonic plane have an x-wing mode?

Tails' hobby is straight up just pimping out that plane.

How was the prinny run? The first game was absurdly hard from what I recall and I heard 2 is even tougher so thought it might be a fun run

It was the best run of the day and a decent speedgame, but all the other runs were really boring anyway

the prinny run was pretty good but consider that yesterday's runs had two hours of co-op little big planet 2 so there's not much competition

I dunno the game seems like it could use more turn-based battles and long, unskippable cutscenes for them to sing along to

If you are finding the presence of a red monster on the screen during a Sonic run confusing, here's some helpful information about this "Knuckles" character for you:

At least with RPGs/strategy games, there's progression that means the first battle doesn't have the same tricks as the last.

With platformers...not so much. I think with platformers the interest is more from anyone who's played it beyond the first 30-50 minutes

Tails holding Sonic just makes me wish in all seriousness they'd make a Sonic bowling game where you play as other characters hanging out in the lounge and Sonic is the ball.

"Penders filed a lawsuit against Sega and EA Games in 2011 for alleged copyright infringement in the game Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. The case was dismissed without prejudice September 26, 2011, then again in February 2012, after the case had been refiled four days after it was originally dismissed, despite warnings from Judge Otis Wright who dismissed the case both times."

Somebody please find this judge exasperatedly saying "Listen to me nerd: Don't bring this poo poo to me again"

Does that mean it took too long to setup or that one of the 7 set-up blocks is actually gonna be a TAS block?
