I guess I was wrong about the physics! The comparison shot earlier is actually making me wonder if they ported the 2D physics engine wholesale over from the Mania/Origins code.

Is it just me, or does it look weird when Sonic's running down a slope but he's still perfectly horizontal

It's pretty consistent with how the classic Sonic games worked. Look at the first few seconds of this video:

Maybe it makes less sense when using a 3D model, but I never liked how Mania and the Advance games turned your character into a pixellated mess by rotating them. They should only use that on certain things like loops, but otherwise stick to 45 degree rotations.

Free rotation would've worked in a Rayman Origins like look!

I really wish we'd gotten a Sonic game with a Rayman Origins like look.

I'm just glad they brought back the mobius strip running animation. Best thing Sonic CD did

Other than giving us Amy Rose, of course (this post is for you, Looper)

I believe Sonic 4 Episode 1 and Sonic Mania used it too (though in the latter only if you set Sonic’s moveset to Sonic CD)

Sonic Lost World might have used it too now that I think about it.

On another note, any further word on the second Frontiers DLC yet (it mentions Sonic’s birthday so I can’t imagine it’s that far off now)?

Arzest/Artoon are pretty bad. Like I'm not gonna even blame them for Balan Wonderworld cause trying to design around that one button gameplay design is insane, but their track record ranges from forgettable to just bad.
Yeah this is the team behind Yoshi's New Island and Hey! Pikmin. Pretty competent but soulless spinoffs. My money is on this being a pretty dull game with a decent presentation.

Though she’ll probably just glow like everyone who isn’t Sonic I’m sort of hoping that the inevitable Super/Hyper Amy is somewhat unique (if she can access the special stages a super form is basically guaranteed).

Also I’m hoping in Sonic 3K she can take Knuckles’ paths through the stages via the use of her hammer (though they’d have to modify some a bit since she can’t climb walls)

I’d love it if she used the British Amy design for her super form, for all of us who grew up with that version of classic Amy.
But I anticipate she’ll just glow!

Yeah the upturned spikes looked great and would work well as a super form.

If they go full on with it like the other hedgehogs I’m imagining a Super Amy with white fur and the STC hairdo (her hammer should also get an upgrade)

Not sure, but Mighty and Ray got super forms in Mania at least (though we still have yet to see a character that isn’t a male hedgehog go super in a 3D game unless you want to count the gold shields Tails and Knuckles got in Heroes)

If the Rush games count as 3D, we have a unique Super Form for Blaze at least.

Those are still 2D games to me but yes (though that form is apparently officially called Burning Blaze)

Dragon Ball only got its first official female Super Saiyan in 2018 (discounting any video games with a custom character.) So at the very least one of the original inspirations for Super Sonic got with the times.

I don't think Toriyama ever gave a gently caress, it just never came up in the original Dragonball (Z) run because there were no female Saiyans. It only got uncomfortable with Pan in Dragonball GT (which didn't have his involvement) which was genuinely very sexist.

I definitely reading some canon mandate that only hedgehogs can go super but I don't remember it being based on gender lines.

Hitlersaurus Christ

The “male hedgehogs only” thing that Sega mandated was just a way to try and limit special transformations to as few as possible to make them more, well, special. If Adventure 2 and 06 didn’t already have Super Shadow and Super Silver I guarantee they would have made it so Sonic was the only one who could do it. (Blaze apparently gets by on a technicality since hers isn’t technically a super form.)

Those rules seem to be different now since we have all the super characters in Mania and Super Knuckles is mentioned in Frontiers, but it’s probably still just Sonic, Shadow, and Silver that have unique golden forms.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
I don't know if I would prefer it but if Super Amy was just regular Amy but her hammer was like four times bigger and had a power aura around it that would be very funny

Burning Blaze is definitely a super form, but it uses a different set of emeralds from another dimension which is likely why she gets away with having it.

In Blaze’s dimension anyone can go Super because Blaze Team is more chill about that sort of thing.
