Re: OH YES Sonic Mania

Awesome find. The guy playing really sucked though. :P Tails and Knuckles' super forms were just them flashing. Only a few of Knuckles' frames were actually pink as he flashed between red and white, so he could still flash a lighter pink if Super Knuckles is included. And I'm really hoping super for...

Re: Fan made sonic level that looks... Really great?

I always thought Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 handled Sonic's speed and mechanics well. Yes, there were some "automatic" sections in levels, but the physics didn't clash with classic Sonic games. Speed was built over time, characters had inertia, rolling/spindashing down hills is faster the...

Re: Fan made sonic level that looks... Really great?

I downloaded it but haven't tried it yet. Apparently there isn't much to do. It's just a GHZ sandbox for Sonic to run through. More tech-demo or proof of concept then an actual game. You can collect Chaos Emeralds and transform into Super Sonic. And there is a secret room that telaports you to Hidde...

Re: Revenge of the nerds

Doesn't it say in supplemental materials that Gerald invented the Chaos Drives? If that's the case, Eggman could have just used an existing bomb from Ark's weapons lab rather then making one himself.

Amazon will ship pre-orders in advance so they show up on release day, even if you select 2-day shipping. Not sure about Super Saver though.

Re: OH YES Sonic Mania

The extras aren't super great (but are they ever?) but if you have an Amazon Prime account (or allegedly, even a free trial) they supposedly knock off 15% (or maybe it was 20%) from the price of the game. Not sure what the regular edition will retail for, but that knocks down the total price to unde...

Re: Revenge of the nerds

Where did you get that image? I couldn't find it in either manual. If it was in the S&K manual then the Eggman face is probably where the Death Egg jumped to, so it would be Lava Reef 2 rather than Launch Base. That seems to be the side of the island it's on in the S&K title screen. I guess Launch ...

I'm not following. What is it about the Adventure world that would've prohibited something like Casino Park or Bingo Highway from existing? Casinopolis had giant (virtual?) pinball machines that used Sonic as the ball. That doesn't seen any less fantastic or ridiculous. I'm with you on this point. ...

Re: Revenge of the nerds

Yes, it's strange that we happen to find them in a Casino and lying around in the Mystic Ruins and sitting on top of Ice Cap (how did it get up there?! Was Knuckles hording it?) since after previous games they always ended up back in the Special Stage, but it's not impossible. Another note on Iceca...

Re: Revenge of the nerds

Not exactly. Stars come into the emerald, but not from the Master. Once you've activated all 7, the Master Emerald gives off a ring of stars that go off the edge of the screen, then it starts pulsating. Though I understand why you'd think that; that is the way I first interpreted the scene. In fact...

Re: Possible Sonic Lego Dimensions Cross Over

Since the ring can obviously be held in a Lego hand as-is, I can only think of one reason why they'd attach a dot to it like that. So they can have 'floating' rings in official Sonic Lego sets! Double post, but apparently there is no edit post feature, or I can't find it. Oh well. Actually Sonic's ...

Re: Revenge of the nerds

Knuckles’ Mega Collection Profile (in the Japanese Strategy guide) mentions that the Master Emerald powered up the Chaos Emeralds, which is a big piece evidence for the re-powering theory. I think this is clear in the game because, correct me if I'm wrong, but each time you get a Super Emerald, a c...

Re: Revenge of the nerds

The way I read it, the Super-Rings/Special Rings Eggman found on Neutrogic High Zone are the Hyper Rings from S&K that take you to Hidden Palace. They did indeed take him to Hidden Palace, as he expected, but the Master Emerald was no longer being kept there. Who moved it is sort of vague. "The god...

I've always assumed there were no restrictions about that sort of thing.
