I'm still infinitely amused by her actually being a thing in All-Stars Racing Transformed. I can't even be mad it's so out of left field it's just amazing.

These childhood stories are nice to see. :kimchi:

My first was actually Sonic 2 and while I'm probably rusty as all hell at it I remember being a pro at that game. For some reason Hill Top Zone was always my favorite. Metropolis Zone was Actual Hell. loving mantises. :argh:

One of my fav things about S3&K is how it all just flows together from act to act. I really feel like I'm progressing and the entire thing feels like a big giant adventure, I always feel super pumped when the "story" kicks in about halfway through Lava Reef Zone.

Sonic 2, which I've always felt isn't nearly as good as S3&K feels to me like "okay you beat this level, now play this level". To this day I can never remember what order Oil Ocean, Mystic Cave and Hill Top Zones come in at.

Hill Top -> Mystic Cave -> Oil Ocean -> Metropolis

Freedom Planet was cool and I definitely had a lot of fun with it but the difficulty curve is a hot mess. The game is easy to slide through up until Battle Glacier where you just suddenly hit a sheer cliff and it just gets exponentially worse from there. The last round with Serpentine and the final boss are completely unfun garbage.

I hope to god they don't take the same design philosophy into Freedom Planet 2.

Are there any actually good Sonic ROM hacks or custom games? That aren't Dreams Collection of course. I've played through the original trilogy + CD more times than I can count but would like to play something a bit fresh in anticipation for Sonic Mania.

Sonic Before the Sequel and Sonic After the Sequel are the ones I always recommend. Super solid classic 2D Sonic gameplay with one of the most kickin' rad original soundtracks of any fangame I've played.

Chrono Adventure was basically a huge experimental piece by the creator please don't take it as a quality indicator of his other work. Before/After the Sequel are super good.

But yeah, I tried to play Chrono Adventure but it's just a little too weird and not that fun.

My favorite is in Tails' storylines since they are so "Me too!" which totally fits his character. "Well if it isn't Sonic...and Tails!" I'm sorry nobody cared about you in the first go of things, lil buddy.

The best part is doing Tails' Story when you get to the Sky Deck.

"Whoah! Did you see that? It transformed!" And then Sonic just give him this glare like "no poo poo I saw it dumbass".

"I hate it when he doesn't listen to me."

I enjoyed Lost World though. It was basically Super ~Mario~ Sonic Galaxy and it was gorgeous and had lovely music and was a joy to play in my opinion.

Press Garden and Titanic Monarch both have huge Freedom Planet vibes, both in looks and music. Which makes them pretty rad to me.

Especially given that this game doesn't have a bullshit difficulty curve problem like Freedom Planet did.

Super Mode already is a seperate button though. I have to press Y while in the air to go Super. I'm using a gamepad on the PC version though, maybe it's not the same in other versions.

Knuckles Version Mirage Saloon Act 1 is incredibly drat rad. I love how the level gradually progresses from the super orange colors of being in bumfuck nowhere to the brighter light color scheme of act 2 as you get towards the end.

Also dat music.

the levels in this game are so fuckin big, I'm on my fifth or sixth playthrough and I'm still seeing poo poo I've never seen before. Did you know that there's a section in Lava Reef where the lava rises up like in Hill Top Zone? I didn't!

There's a large section of undership in Flying Battery you can skip if you just don't sink through the junkpiles. I think it's even possible to do the entire Act 2 without going down there at all. poo poo's crazy.

After doing Titanic Monarch a few times through my various playthroughs it's actually pretty straightforward and fun. Although if you go Super it makes some of the finer platforming a bit rear end to do well.

Flying Battery 2 and Press Garden 2 are still my prime top favorites though.

I can't decide if it's super exciting or super terrifying that this trailer has Sonic Adventure 2 levels of melodrama.

Sadly it's missing the best character from that era. RIP Rouge. Nevermind I shouldn't say things when tired.

People have called every single Sonic game in recent years poo poo before release just due to the Sonic Cycle but we still got gems like Colors, Unleashed (well half of it anyways), and Generations. I just generally find it silly to dismiss the game entirely before anyone even has their hands on it.

I unironically love Rouge actually. She played Eggman and Shadow like fiddles (while not even bothering to use an alias) in SA2 and took no bullshit from anyone in Heroes. I forget what she was doing in Shadow the Hedgehog but she's still pretty awesome.

Sadly it seems like she's been booted to tertiary character based on her 1 second appearance in the background in the Forces story trailer.

On one hand I'm a little weirded out by sudden cutscene mid-stage... but on the other at least it isn't more QTEs that kill you if you fail.

I'm really digging this cheesy rock aesthetic to the soundtrack too.
