:siren: UPDATE TIME! :siren:



Today, our blue girl has to go up against dreaded yellow journalism! The first zone takes us through a slanderous newsroom and its elaborate zen garden as we look to correct fake news, but a villain makes an unexpected return at the end. Suddenly Miku and Tails are sent back through time, to face a scorned mascot at the height of his popularity. Does Miku have the power to show them who the better mascot is, or is she about to be crushed by the real red menace?

Senbonzakura is the only Vocaloid song I know. I heard a cover of it on Youtube, with a real human singer, and didn't realise what it was until it was too late.

Sonic 2 special stage did nothing wrong, and at the very least is better than Sonic 3D special stage.

also, a stuffed crust pizza is an unfinished attempt at a calzone crust pizza.

The last two Sonic 2 special stages got really assy though, especially if you're playing with Sonic and Tails in single player. Those last two stages put a fuckton of split-second bombs in your path and while you're able to dodge them as Sonic, Tails is always a fraction of a second too slow and will just eat through your rings like crazy. Of course the solution is "Play Sonic-Only", but I feel that kind of defeats the whole premise of Sonic 2.

the best special stage is sonic 1 because its an abstract mess of graphics

also food is for freaks

Sonic 1 special stage is the best because it so perfectly achieves its goal. Every aspect works together to that end, even the controls. Especially the controls.

Sonic 2 special stage is fine if you just play Sonic or play with someone you can blame for screwing up as Tails. There's nothing wrong with just playing as Sonic, it's not called Sonic 2 & Tails is it?

And then if you got Sonic 3D Blast on the Sega Saturn, you basically got the Sonic 2 special stages kicked up a notch.

Today, watch out and keep your belongings safe because you might get wet! After escaping the Deep Dish Cheeseway, Miku and Tails finding themselves falling into an underwater labyrinth, where every twist and turn could mean certain doom if they aren't careful. And hiding just out of eyesight, ready to strike when they're at their weakest, is a familiar face in a very unfamiliar form. Can Miku escape the maze and steal the final Chaos Emerald, or will she draw her last breath here, lost in the maze?

Fun fact about the Noid: the reason Domino's pizza retired the Noid mascot was because a schizophrenic guy named Kennith Noid believed the entire campaign was designed specifically to mock him, and he eventually retaliated by breaking into a Domino's pizza place with a pistol and taking the employees hostage in a 5-hour standoff that ironically ended with him stealing two pizzas and falling asleep after eating them.

Huh, I'd have thought Noid was retired for being an ugly goblin who's schtick is destroying delivery food before it arrives. Not things you want associated with you, even if you're saying "No, it's our competitors who are like this".

I mean, Dominos has desperately tried several times in the last decade to rebrand itself as something other than "that garbage cardboard tasting pizza you only order if Pizza Hut is too busy and you're too lazy to drive down to Little Caesar's." So it's in their wheelhouse at least.

I mean, it's worked. they passed Pizza Hut in sales in 2017, and they have better toppings, at least in my area, since Pizza Hut cut down a bunch and has now resorted to selling those weird Cheese-It monstrosities

Today, it's time to rope and ride as we enter the DLC Dunes! First up, Miku and Tails have to face off against the combined powers of the Project Diva DLC roster, each of which wants the chance to be the face of the Vocaloid empire! Then, Miku stops for a refreshing drink to cool down, only to find herself in the middle of another mascot rivalry...

Miku should invade more games. Instead of Project Diva, she's actually the protagonist of Breath Of The Wild: Master Quest. She's actually who you play as in the next Solitaire. She's John Cena's new tag-team partner.

She is many things to many people. Much like the ancient Greeks recognized the entire pantheon but would individually worship particular gods, so too are Miku's sects divided amongst those who praise a particular accomplishment.

Miku comes from an alternate reading of the kanji for 未来, which is usually read as mirai, translated as "future." Combined with Hatsu 初, meaning "first," and Ne 音 meaning "sound," 初音ミク roughly translates to "The first sound of the future"

In my heart, I know I'm right. Your so-called "evidence" and "basic critical thinking" will never sway me.

We may have defeated the rogue Vocaloids last time, but it looks like they're not the only idols looking to overthrow Miku's reign! Miku suddenly finds herself in the middle of an illegal gacha mining operation, where some competitors are looking to smash, drill and stomp her into submission. Then, she finds a clue to where the head of Crypton Future Media is hiding: a supermarket chain store hidden on the dark side of the moon. Can Miku navigate the aisles and discounts in order to find the one responsible for this mess, and can she make him fix everything?

There's only one way a giant Mechu Hatsune can be defeated... by a Kaiju Hatsune! Has she ever teamed up with Godzilla?

Very late edit: Also I assumed Mobage was a portmanteau of 'Mobile Garbage' on account of the money-sink gacha and how every waifu-inducing franchise has to have one to get in cheap. Like MMOs and Kart Racers before them.
