Not worth the cartridge space in any of the Genesis titles. The wow factor only existed for people who knew enough about video games to recognize a voice clip is uncommon. The two-note Master System one is less intrusive. Just give me the modern *woosh*"sega." or even the strange eyeball with an off-key note. Source your quotes.

That is what Sonic characters' feet look like and I went to go look for the official pic of Sonic and Amy where their feet are showing and I used google and how the gently caress else did I think that was gonna end?

Knuckles bolted the shoes onto his feet in an act of penance for failing to guard the Master Emerald from The Eggs Man.

You think the feet are hosed up? There's some nightmare poo poo occurring under those gloves.

Otherwise, if you're willing to wait a bit, raocow has been playing through every (no seriously, every) official sonic game in order for the past year and a half(?) and is about to reach Shadow, once he gets past poo poo like the official tie-in Flash games for Sonic X with graphics that look like MSPaint. I'm keeping the JordanKai one on in the background while doing a bunch of spreadsheet busywork and I would recommend so far. Thanks for the suggestions!

You know I think Lost World and Forces would've really benefitted from the kind of score-based ranking system that Colors had. All of them have a very similar level design philosophy, where there's a fast, easy, and obvious path straight though the level, and then a bunch of more challenging side paths and secrets that reward you with rings and other prizes. But there's nothing to incentivize taking those risks outside of Colors, besides getting the Red Rings (which you'll only ever do once). The ranking system in Colors was set up so that S Ranks couldn't be gained just from taking the fastest route through the level, you needed to rack up points wherever you could by collecting rings, destroying enemies, and even recollecting those red rings. You needed to strike a balance between going fast and exploring the level. It wasn't perfect, there were levels where players could just stall for several minutes in the Drill Wisp form to get a lot of points, but it gave an otherwise short game some longevity and gave a purpose to the level design. Lost World is especially bad about this. Levels will have multiple routes filled with enemies, different traps, wall-running segments and dangerous platforming that rewards you with rings, red rings and animal capsules, and then one route that is just a chain of speedboosters that just fast forwards you to the end of the segment. The game is blatantly designed as a score attack game, you're supposed to take the risky path to get those prizes and rack up points. But when you're playing through a level your score is hidden unless the game is paused, it isn't even shown on the gamepad. And the score it does show you is just a collective pool of all the points you've gotten on that file, which quickly becomes a number so big it becomes completely meaningless. The game doesn't keep track of your best score for an individual stage. The only thing the game does track and rank you on is your best times in the time attack mode, in a game where the fastest path is the path of least resistance. So there's no incentive to engage with most of the level design in the game outside of the one time you'll go through with a walkthrough to get the red rings. Forces brings back the score-based ranking system but makes it really easy to get an S Rank by just sprinting through the stage normally, and just in case that is still too interesting for you it also adds in those dumb daily missions that give you an insanely broken score multiplier so you don't even really need to be paying attention to get an S Rank. I assume that at some point between Colors and Generations someone at Sonic Team saw a tweet that said "it sucks when I thought I did well on a stage and then the game gives me a C Rank" and got all self-conscious.

Gens rankings were a joke but I thought most of the Lost World S ranks had decently tight time requirements. I do agree that it could have used a score attack mode too though

If I remember right, Knuckles' knuckles are not a normal thing amongst Echidna kind. Any other Echidnas that had spikes on their gloves had them built into the glove.

It would have been much more fun to just allude to removing gloves/shoes and never depict their hands/feet by hiding them in silly ways. But alas,Royal Updog posted:Penders never fails to live down to my expectations
