Growing up my brother and I liked it, but we liked switching off playing as Sonic/Tails at every zone in Sonic 2/3+K more. :shrug:

Also last time he came to visit, we played some S3+K together for old time's sake and he still had me beat the special stages for him. :3:

It's boring on your own and I imagine it sucks with another person because you'd just grief each other the entire time.

I enjoyed playing Knuckles' Chaotix with my friend. Yeah you end up griefing each other but isn't that kind of expected with a game titled 'Chaotix'?

The biggest problem with Knuckles Chaotix is the random level selector picking Amazing Arena again, dammit game, let me get started on Techno Tower already.

So, something I've noticed: Sonic has faced world-rending abominations in each of the classical elements except one. We have Chaos for water, Iblis for fire, and Gaia for earth. Where's my crazy out-of-control wind god, SEGA?

That's... interesting. And it makes a weird amount of sense. Like I could see an overarching plot where back in the day, there were four gods who were always fighting or some poo poo, and for whatever reason, the other three got tired of the wind god's poo poo and killed him, but as he was dying, he was like "Like you could actually kill me. LOL NOPE, I'm just gonna come back in another form and keep loving your poo poo up forever. Later, losers! :boom:" And a few hundred years later, A Hedgehog Was Born... *buttrock guitar riffs playing in the distance*

Plus Sega seems to be absolutely against anything that could hint at a background/past for Sonic. He just exists, and that's all. Probably for the best, tbh. The comics tried to do weird past poo poo like that and it doesn't turn out well.

Not for nothing, but Iblis is more literally the devil than a fire elemental.

Yeah, the Adventure games get a lot of, well deserved, poo poo for there baffling attempts to give the series something of serious edge or what ever the hell they were trying to do. But at the end of Adventure 2, where the 'super mysterious Shadow' with his 'deep tormented history' asks Sonic who the hell he is and just gets a response which is basically, I'm just a guy who loves being an 90's platform hero, stop over thinking it, was one of the things that they didn't completely mess up.

I used to read sonic sprite comics in the early 2000s when I was a kid who just got the internet, and seeing one of the guys I used to read (Tyson "Rittz" Hesse) actually drawing official sonic comics 15 years later is great. :allears:

I think I still have some of his customized sprite sheets buried somewhere in my hard drive archives.

I've been replaying Sonic Adventure 2 myself, and I'm enjoying it much more the second time around. I wish people were trying to make Adventure-style fan engines that had a slicker, less janky feel than the original rather than Giant Expansive Field Zone.

I like the idea that Sonkc just exists. His powers don't have an origin story, he's just fast because he's just that way. He doesn't have a traumatic backstory driving him, that's just how he is. He's basically a free roaming wind deity/force of nature/idiot god and that's cool and he wouldn't care if it wasn't cool cause Aonic is merely wholly himself and comfortable with who he is.

Lore for Robotnik is fine, but yeah lore for Sonic who cares. Sonic is about the flow.

Speaking of which anyone else watch some of that stream? I managed to catch Webber playing a good chunk of mirage saloon, he lost it when Knuckles chuckled and it's pretty infectious how good that game looks.
