I can't remember the exact number, but I'm pretty sure they usually label Sonic as eternally 15, or something around there. He's definitely not old enough to drink. Amy's like 11, and Tails is like, 5.

So if we choose Amy, Sonic is a dangerous pedophile and closer to the actual definition of a pedophile too.

If I had to give anyone the incredibly nebulous award of "best gameplay in sonic 2006" it would be shadow, his controls don't have any of the major gently caress ups the other two idiots have and his levels tend to work the way the game expects them to most of the time instead of just freaking out constantly and killing you.

this is major pyrrhic victory though, since this also means you actually have to play sonic 2006 legitimately, as he doesn't really have anything that lets him sequence break/jump hella high over stuff

Shadow "benefits" in that way by having the most boring gameplay but there are some areas where he can sequence break in entertaining ways.

Character age continuity is weird in this series because with each passing game how old the supporting characters always were gets younger and younger. Charmy Bee used to be like 16.

And then when they made him six the comics decided the best way to tie this in was to literally give him brain damage, I poo poo you not.

I said most of the time for a reason. Although shadows train is still way less hosed then sonics because there are no mach speed sections.

Maybe I'm just not deep enough down the rabbit hole, but I thought all of shadows sequence breaks involved his trusty companions instead of the angst master himself?

Shadow has a glitch that let's him teleport through walls and he can do the mission select glitch that Silver and Sonic can do. He has a few other little ones that let him skip some vehicles too.

Silver's first line in the game is... Unwisely chosen. Questioning how those hedgehogs came to being from second one doesn't do him any favors, you can't help but wonder what his parents look like.
Especially after having played through Sonic's story.
edit: poo poo, Silver is a cyclops too. One would think they'd watch for something like that given the fact that all the effort obviously went into the cutscenes and not the game.
And Syphilis! Meaning presumably Shadow too! Maybe it's a genetic defect to hedgehogs?

Update!

Do you like dogs? Do you like apples? Do you like sidequests? Well then this update is for you! This update is all about playing with dogs, doing sidequests and glitches. Also I compare Sonic 06 and Slaughterhouse 5.

Part 5 (Sidequests!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzXNUYftVgg


Question for the thread:

I'm going to record the next section in the next day or two. Would you rather see more Sonic or more Silver? (Shadow isn't unlocked yet.)

Sonic's next update would include: Sidequests, Shadow Moses Island and Crisis City
Silver would be: Sidequests, Dusty Desert, an Amy level, Sonic boss fight and Shadow Moses Island.

You get 12500 points as a time bonus for some reason, so you actually need 100 apples for a C rank. You need 175 if you want an S rank.

I noticed that when I decided to try it again after recording one of the glitch videos. I got a C. :(

If one day I post a 3 hour video of failing to S-Rank the apple festival do not be surprised if the LP is abandoned soon after.

Can you just keep an apple held with your psychic powers and keep dunking the same apple over and over again for easy points?

I don't know which is worse, the fact that the programming on such a basic minigame can completely poo poo itself like it did, or that someone thought the apple minigame was something that needed to be in the game. :cripes:

On the subject of Silver being like Trunks, I read somewhere once that in the production process, notes on the story said he's "basically like Trunks" or something to that effect. Also his little TK panel logo even resembles the Capsule Corp. logo somewhat.

But then again this game is well known for completely plagiarizing aspects of paying homage to other games, so take it as you will. :downs:

I'd say not, the couple of times an apple on top of the barrels rolls in, you can see it disappear the moment it's over the opening and counting for points.

The second.

The game's code shits itself all the time, to the point where it being hosed to all hell isn't surprising at all. But that minigame is crappy and dull on so many levels that I'm shocked anyone thought that it was worth including, even in a game this bad.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Combining "if you have time to worry, run instead" with Sonic's constant refrain of "gotta go fast" really shows the crippling anxiety problems he's trying to run away from.

Yeah spoiler tags are not needed, I just spoiled things in case Hulkamatt is reading and doesn't want the next set of levels spoiled. Wouldn't want to change this LP from anything but a cruel joke on him.

I haven't played this game, luckily.

But I suggest the following strategy for the apple game.

- Pick up a bunch of apples.
- Drop them on top of another bunch of apples.
- Now pick up the double bunch of apples in one go.
- Repeat.
- Once all apples in the field are stacked in one big heap, pick all of it up at once and drop them over the barrels.

Doesn't each apple individually eat up some of the psychic bar? I don't think Silver's brain can handle that many apples.

The flaw in this plan is that the game limits how many objects you can pick up at a time. So while piling all of them together sounds good in theory, in practice you'd be picking only a few up at a time, sending other apples that might be on top of the ones you grabbed (as you cannot really choose which ones your grab locks onto) flying off into god knows where, and having to do it over again anyway when only a couple of the apples you grabbed actually fall into the barrels.

That's right, you can't even cheese that minigame. It's borderline reliant entirely on luck to complete it and get a decent rank.

I just checked youtube. There have been three attempts at 100% runs, the farthest one has got was to the end of Shadow's part, however that might be still ongoing. The last update was on July 29th.

Silver travels to the Tropical Jungle, for my money the worst designed level in the game. Blaze takes the express from Crisis City to Shell Beach and then we meet up with Amy as we try to hunt down and kill the Iblis Trigger.

I think you can replay any level. If you prefer the last level, that is fine. You can also do missions, which are fairly easy to do (or know when it is too much of a pain in the rear end to attempt.) Some side quests may be repeatable? It has been 6 years since I;ve played so my memory is fuzzy...
