Cause, uhh...


Yes they figured out a way how to make Silver's Dusty Desert even worse.

I hate how the boss fights end in this game, the machine barely touched the ground, a few explosion textures showed up and then it jump cuts to the score screen.

They could certainly have more flair

It just reminded me of the Egg Viper from SA1 that pulled a similar "Suicide at the enemy post combat" trick, which had a fairly involved detonation sequence that was visible in the background of the victory screen.

I think you can get damaged by the Egg-Genesis explosion but all it will do is knock your rings out of you (or kill you if you don't have any).

I like the music, but the stage itself is terrible. Though I don't think the mach speed section is as bad as radical train's.

wait that game was real and not a recent romhack someone made in a couple hours? i'm having a crisis here

Yeah, it was made for Japan's equivalent of the Sega channel, which used early 90s dialup technology, so it's small size and resultant lovely quality were apparently the goal.

This is the level I always shared with people to show them the potential Sonic 06 had to be something really special. Let's see how it holds up.

My favorite part of the mach speed section is that when shadow is doing it his vehicles take physics damage from riding over the railroad ties. And they can blow up. And shadow isn't fast enough to catch up with the train without the vehicles.

It's cool seeing the game's stages out of context of the story. Sonic is just holding a human lady every so often without explanation.

Unfortunately this also means we miss the Trials of Soleana where we watch sonic declare his undying love to the human lady after game-overing a few hundred times in a game of hide and seek.

So this was the demo stage before the game came out. Were any notable changes made between the demo and the release of the game? Did the demo include the mach speed section?

Yes. No.

The 3D Sonics all have a tendency to continuously increase the length of stages as the game progresses. There are a bunch of reasons for that which I won't dive into-they're not all bad.

But really, that second section of Kingdom Valley just looked awful. One combat tower, one friend section, the giant cathedral jump setpiece...call it a day. 5 minutes MAX for rushing from point A to B, try not to go over 10 for casual runs. I just can't understand how they pushed their flagship title out the door in such a state without someone showing this to the people pushing the release forward.

I think the issue is that by the time they looked at the game and realized how dire things were, it was too late to fix it.

There is some good that came out of it, however. In the runup to sonic 2006's release someone at Sega finally decided to look at the sonic comic long enough to get Penders fired.

Penders was the lovely OC DO NOT STEAL Knuckles clone guy? I don't read the comic, but I remember something about the shitshow involving Penders getting canned.

Yup, that's him. Supposedtly the issue of the comic that the sega executive saw that resulted in him getting canned was from the arc where Sally was getting married to another man. So the cover was sonic openly weeping in the rain, clutching the wedding invite.

He had basically turned sonic canon into his own personal playground including creating a "real and true future" for sonic where he and sally get married and have kids.

Part of the whole thing that happened when Penders sued Sega and Archie was Penders magnanimously proclaiming that Archie could still use "his characters" if Sega acknowledged that his version of Sonic's future was correct and he had final say over all decisions regarding Sonic for the forseeable future.
