Mighty and Ray are 100% Sega characters, so there's nothing legally stopping them, other than if Sega doesn't want them in the 'Modern' era, since they've only been in classic style games. Which sounds like it might be the case, unfortunately.

In that case there should be no problem bringing back Marine and/or Sticks then (since Frontiers made the latter canon to the main universe)

If they did Classic stories they could use them.

They actually already have. They featured prominently in the 30th anniversary issue IDW put out, which was set in the classic universe:

I could see them being DLC for Superstars like they were with Mania. Fang should be made playable as well.

Also I notice that Archie and Fleetway did a lot of game adaptions back in the day but that mandate seems to have been dropped for IDW (aside from that Frontiers prologue they did, I think Team Sonic Racing got its own special as well). All the same, I still want Sage to appear in the comic one day

In regards to Prime, I guess the last shard being back in the main dimension means there likely won’t be a fourth world starring Rouge after all. Too bad

It's hard to say actually, The Paradox Prism has some pretty complex gradation going on with its color scheme and could theoretically be split into anywhere from 4-8 pieces if we assume each piece is a different color.



Thus far we know the home dimension is yellow, New Yoke is red, Boscage Maze is green and No Place is blue but just looking at the above picture of the prism there could theoretically be purple/pink, cyan and grey pieces in addition to what we've seen so far. There was also that one seemingly uninhabited reality that Nine discovered, which could possibly not be as uninhabited as first thought. The fact that the Chaos Council has 5 members also seems to suggest that 5 might be the magic number of this series, which means that even if we count the original universe as one of those five we're still missing at least one universe with counterparts of the main cast left to see.

Either way, I'm hoping there's at least one or two more realities than what we've already seen since "Dystopian future, cavemen and pirates" seems like a bit of a limited selection.

Larryb
Oct 5, 2010

Yeah, I’m hoping for at least a few more worlds as well (I believe we’ve got two more parts left in the series counting the upcoming “season”)

Also interesting that there only seems to be one Sonic and Shadow (aside from the “Metal Sonic” shown in the trailer) and the only Eggmen around are the Chaos Council. I wonder if that will change eventually

Lastly I forget, is there a reason why Knuckles has two VAs in this series (the second one’s better in my opinion)? In Eggman's case it at least makes sense

For whatever reason, each reality features a new VA for Knuckles. I have no idea why they did this and just for Knuckles. Only thing I can think of is the original VA wasn’t able to manage the whole season at the last minute, so they ran with it and gave a new VA per world.

Also every subsequent voice sounds way better than the main dimension Knuckles

Edit: Looking it up its actually just two guys, Adam Nurada plays the main version of Knuckles and Vincent Tong plays his AU counterparts

The way the title screen looks so far really screams more characters will fill in some space. It's the first thing I thought with how Tails is in the back to one side like that, and there's nothing else to make it symmetrical like the rest.

I mean, they can use the Penders' characters if they really want to as well. They just gotta pay the guy.

Which, I dunno, I know they had an acrimonious split but also, I don't loving care that this guy pantsed your previous partner in court, SEGA, and you shouldn't either. Just pay him enough money to make his incredibly lovely Echidna fanfic and get your drat characters back.

So I had to consult the Thanks Ken Penders blog to make sure I wasn't misremembering, but the situation is a little more complicated than that. Initially Pender's terms for use of his characters included royalties (legal, mandatory) but also creative control over how they were depicted even if the writer was someone different (gently caress off). But at some point he must have eased up a little.

Anyway I bring this up because the way he phrased this is something.

Am I the only one who, of all of Penders' OCs, really liked Sonic's parents? Well, mostly just Jules, I guess.

The issue where he confronts Scourge as he's trying to break into their house is a perfect explanation for why he's so bad rear end.

So if you get all the emeralds with Amy in Sonic 3 and Knuckles you don't get the notice that you can transform into super amy, but you can anyways. When you get all the super emeralds you get the super amy notification and now you can throw hammers with Y while transformed. it's weird.

It looks like a different cover. But yeah, I for sure have a full series set somewhere from back then. It also had weird fan art looking cover and stuff too. It's the one that had all the interview extras with some of the staff that worked on the show and all that. I think they also had a commentary track somewhere where they talked about a small summary of what they had planned for season 3 and 4. So this is probably just the same set being repackaged and relisted for sale again.

edit: That's it. I have the shout factory version from forever ago.

It was just quickly mentioned on the commentary for the last episode of season 2, I think. But they just talked about how Ixis Naugus was the red eyes, and he was going to be the main villain of 3 and 4. And how Knuckles would be a very minor character near the end of season 3, and would be a main cast member in 4. I don't think they said much else about 4. I'd have to go play it again to know if that was all from Ben Hurst or not. But I think it was him bringing it up.

So what caused SatAM to get cancelled and Undergound to get greenlit in its place anyway? Was the show not doing well in the ratings or something?

SatAM was cancelled in 1994 and was a joint production between DiC and the italian studio that made AOSTH, Underground didn't come out till 1999 and was a French produced cartoon, I'm pretty sure DiC's only involvement with it was in that they were the rights holder and did the english dubbing.
