I'm very excited for Sonic Mania and wanted to do a little competition for some free keys.

I'll give away three to start :

1 and 2 for the best 100 words defending your favourite of Sonic's friends that everyone else hates. Why is Big the Cat great? Why should we care about the Babylon Rogues? Any character outside of the Tails and Knuckles basically

3 goes to the goon that records the best Scratch laugh impression
Deadline of I dunno, Sunday?

You really think there's anyone in this thread who'd do this who hasn't already preordered it

I like Orbot and Cubot, but I do miss the vindictive rear end in a top hat nature of Scratch and Grounder. Scratch would kick a baby and laugh about it.

I like Orbot because he's sassy and lazy.

I wish they would put Scratch and Grounder in the games and make them canon

Even though they're technically in Sonic 2 and Mean Bean Machine

I thought that Mr. Whitehead did a Sonic 3k pitch that got turned down.
The Sonic 1 and 2 mobile releases could easily have had PC versions relatively easily, but that stuff is up to the publisher. What gets released on which platforms and why can be complicated and generally secret.

I think Scratch may have been inspired by a Sonic 2 badnik as well (specifically, those chicken turret guys from Wing Fortress).

He was. Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts were all common enemies in Sonic 2.

Also I didn't realize this for years, but the SatAM \ Archie characters Sally, Bunnie and Rotor are based on the animals inside the Badniks in Sonic 1. Princess Sally is based on the squirrel Ricky (and was called Rikki in Japan), Bunnie is Pocky\Johnny Lightfoot, and Rotor is Rocky\Joe Sushi. Antoine doesn't seem to be based on any of them in particular. Also, apparently he's a Coyote, which is weird because they don't have Coyotes in France. Maybe he's French-Canadian. Of course, they don't have Echidnas in Jamaica either.

Realizing that Princess Sally, Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts \ etc. weren't made up characters for the TV shows and were actually in the games since day one is a forehead slapper moment like realizing that Miles Prower is a pun. I think the reason why a lot of people don't get that one is because they always say Miles "Tails" Prower and with his nickname in the middle you never notice "Miles per hour".

Fleetway Sonic the Comic had their own takes on the animals too; at first there were the literal versions of the animals, then somewhere down the line they anthropomorphised them.

Also Scratch and a couple of the Archie cast appeared verbatim in Sonic Spinball.

Besides his colors, he does kinda look like a mountie.

Just the birds, which themselves are taken from an unrelated arcade/Genesis game called Flicky.

As a kid I always assumed flickies were just a race of tiny animals, helps explain the disparity between them and Sonic

She was 17 in Sonic 06 according to Archie and Sonic wikis. Almost 11 years have passed. Either someone at Sega is bad at math or she's lying about her age.
