I hope Cybershell is okay, he got me back into Sonic when he came back to YT.

...So I guess I should resent him for that.

Oh gosh, Tails is so adorable! :3:

Eggman, you cheating jerk! You know you need to complete a special stage first before you can get a Chaos Emerald!

I'm not sure what scares me more, Eggman bending the laws of Sonic's universe to his whims, or Sonic and Tails' team-up move where they spin around being a terrible reminder of Sonic 4 Episode 2.

This is probably a bad time to mention that I really, really hate Chao Garden. Like of all the things I don't want to do in a game, putting in a load of tedious busywork so I can watch a minigame play out is right up there.

Anyway, the best feature is obviously the custom character, so there's no worry that any of you will vote for anything else.

Unless you're trying to get all the emblems that is (I think there's a few of them that are tied to the Chao Races anyway but I could be wrong). But yeah, as far as the main game goes you don't have to touch it.

There is no possible scenario that involves Sega bringing back Chao gardens without turning them into gacha/IAP traps.

i like Chao Garden, but it doesn't work well in the Adventure games except as a crutch to keep the player going through unfun chunks of them, if that makes sense? like, if Chao Garden were its own thing with the "collecting Chao stuff in stages" gameplay loop swapped for something else, it would be rad as poo poo, but if you like all of the stuff in the SA games it's basically totally superfluous, and if you don't like the games at all, having to play the levels to collect stuff is tedious as gently caress. it's in a really weird spot with how it fits in, where i can't really see Sega using the feature in a game they're actually 100% confident in.

Oversaw the project, basically greenlit it, provided resources for the game to be made, ultimately approved and suggested elements that were used in the final game, etc.

I hope Mania 2 is all original zones, if it’s a thing. It won’t be as exciting if they do the same kinda thing again.

Were there ever any sales figures released for Mania and Forces? I'm curious to see how they fared against each other.

PaletteSwappedNinja

One Nation, Under God.
Mania's confirmed to have sold over a million copies.

Forces doesn't have sales figures but there's been no suggestion that it flopped or that Sega is unsatisfied with how it sold. These games have always been relatively review-proof, so I'm sure it did okay.

Sonic games are in that zone where the primary demographic does not care about or even read reviews. And on top of that, the hardcore sonic fans will buy every game anyway.
