The characters so far are past sonic and present sonic, character #3 is going to be future sonic.

You mean the one who is silver-haired, from the future and has psychic powers?

I haven't seen a thread for it, but that Spark game reminded me of a thing I NEVER got right in Sonic games either and it's the loops.

What are you supposed to do to keep momentum? I run at maximum speed, then hit a loop, get a quarter of the way up and it's all gone. I stop, roll down it and stop. Am I supposed to hold right? UP? JUMP? I have no clue and loops have been the bane of my existance in 2D Sonic games since forever.

I have played an unreasonable amout of Sonic 4. But I have also played a lot of other 2D Sonic games, and the loops never look as smooth for me as they do in any video I see :v:

You know what zone doesn't get enough love? Sonic and Knuckles Death Egg zone. That level was awesome, and I loved the gravity stuff. Plus I'm sure there are tons of secrets in the parts that the light tubes bring you past, but I've never actually managed to explore them.

Real talk what's the deal with the red star bumper springs in Sonic 2?

Can you make that jump on the high route of aquatic ruin act 1 or did they just put that there to gently caress with me. It seems like half the time I get the jumps properly and the other half I careen into the toilet.

Also the best part of the barrel is, as an adult, realizing there's actually different barrels. They don't all work the same.

Why does sonic wear shoes when he doesnt wear any other clothes?? is mobius like a nudist camp planet where they put towels on seats and wear shoes but other than that anything goes?

and the gloves?

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

The shoes and gloves are utilitarian. The talking cartoon animals don't have an ingrained nudity taboo because they've got nothing to cover. Other talking cartoon animals who wear more clothes do so as an affectation in imitation of human mores.

If that linked half-finished thing is all there is to it then I'm all for it! It's a cute little linking scene with some expressive animation and a cool moment, also gives you a preview of what the boss might do and that the fight might start off running.
