Aw, Tails got his very own boss fight! What a little scrapper.

...that actually was his first and only boss fight, wasn't it?

Well, technically he had two boss fights earlier that he shares with Sonic, but yeah there's next to no unique/original content for any of the stories. There's like...one level and one irrelevant minigame that Sonic doesn't play, and every level is played by a minimum of two characters. Bosses are a little better. Everyone but Big has at least one unique boss that no one else fights, although Big and Amy only have one boss fight period.

Like everyone who shares a level has a different version of the level built around their style of gameplay but no one would blame you for going, "Ho hum, the same level again."

And the LP lives on. Mostly everything knuckles related is ready so maybe I can keep a steady update schedule for at least a week. Completely forgot to record anything trials related so the ones for this video will be added with the next update.

I'm more interested on how Eggman can just waltz into a hotel without setting off any alarms than why he's hanging out in a restaurant for a boss fight.

The Silver emerald is clearly powered by carbonation.

And the last time we'll see Chaos 4. The trials videos for K1 and K2 are up in the OP.

I will say this for Knuckles: at least his version of Red Mountain has the good music all the way through.

Nearing the end for good ol' Knuckles. Amy's story is recorded and edited. Just needs commentary, which we're hoping to get in sometime Tuesday/Wednesday.

Gamma's theme is definitely the best thing.

Anyway, I recall the final boss for Knuckles' story was kind of underwhelming.

That's because it's not even unique, it's something that has been fought in the LP already.

It seems strange, but also perhaps fitting, that in many places in these ruins the emerald shard will just be sitting out in the open.

You have to wonder how some of them get in the places they do. inside a seemingly undisturbed space boulder??

Emerald shards are secretly sentient. Now to wrap this up:





Still taking my sweet time but hey two down, four to go! So what's funny lately is that SA1 on steam got an update for achievements, if you're into that thing. I think it also fixes the config bug so now it should actually work. No idea if it does though. Everything else is still there, though.

The events of Sonic 3 & Knuckles are supposed to take place entirely on Angel Island, and in that game the island had space for so much disparate poo poo (including, by my count, the abandoned ruins of at least four distinct ancient cultures, one of which is itself floating in midair for no good reason) it was more like a small continent. So I reckon the size of the island is immaterial, the Master Emerald can hold up whatever the gently caress it wants and you'd better not question it while it's drifting overhead.

It would certainly explain why the regular old chaos emeralds keep going missing and you have to find them all over again every single loving game.

The exploding wall is absolutely the side of Angel Island, if you talk to the explorer standing in the area before the wall explodes, he talks about how the mountain appeared overnight.

Incidentally, every human NPC has unique dialogue at every story beat in the game, and some of them have their own story arcs that advance across all of the playable character's stories. One time when I played this, I talked to every single person, every single time. Yeah, a bit crazy, I know.

Also, I have to agree with whichever co-commentator it was on turning the shiny models back on if it means fixing all of the other things that get broken. I survived shiny models on the Gamecube, I'm sure as heck not going to be bothered by them watching an LP.

It wasn't as bad but at this point one of Amy's upgrades now has no texture. So it'll be back on by the time I get to Big.

Catching up, and just watched the Speed Highway trials video: I've never noticed before the video that the running-down-the-building section had those really quiet vocals.

Well, the traditional pastime of Knuckles' people does appear to be not giving a poo poo. Good to see him getting back to his roots in the ending.

The Knuckles Tribe always won the "Not Giving A poo poo" events in the Ancient Greek Olympics. Sonic Canon, doncha know?
