As if he wasn't terribly overpowered in Sonic R, to see him as the character everyone places as in another racing game...

Eh..Youre right I want to see Super Sonic,Tails and Knuckles.

So do I. And while they're at it, I want my own midget crammed inside the box.

The Mario franchise has realized nostalgia sells, as a friend of mine put it; just look at Mario Baseball's immediately available roster. Chock full of minor characters from the netherlands of the series. I think the sheer fact that Sonic Team couldn't fill a cast of eight playable characters with fifteen years of games (nearly every one had some new character) to rely on without making three new characters means that thought hasn't clicked into place yet.

So is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It would be worth it if Sonic could find out that being superpowered doesn't affect his balance or the speed of the board he's standing on.

Super Sonic riding a hover board is like Shadow using guns.

A torrent of the intro

Having actually seen it now, I can understand what CP was talking about. Its aura is different but I seriously doubt it'll find its way into story or dialogue, Or if it does that it'll correct anything substantial. Sonic Team just hasn't shown any interest in changing the way they portray the series, neither publicly nor in their most recent games.

I know, its just that it reminded me of the super Sonic in Icecap glitch, You know when youre boarding at the begining of the level? you know how there are rings? well there are 50 rings! so you can become Super on the Board!! however getting the last 5 or 10 rings aint easy! you had to time your jump and avoid a down slope to get em. It was funny because when you turned Super it was all glitchy and stuff.

but, just the fact that Eggman is in it HOPEFULLY PLAYABLE!, Im satisfied.

I think it makes more sense than Sonic Drift. Besides - I liked Snowboard Kids and I hope this is something like that.

I liked the idea behind Snowboard Kids, but I was less than pleased with the execution. Plus, Jam: WTF?

Jam is the opposite of Micheal Jackson - he started out white and became black. It was weird.

But not as weird as Ruby Green - a Japan-only character that was a towering muscleman who loved to slide down frozen mountains in nothing but a speedo and a smile - while flexing for the audience.

I heard about Ruby Green, but I had problems believing that he/it existed.

Scroll to the bottom of the page with the video links. Second entry in the "Newly Added Sonic Videos" section.

Everytime I see that Eggman video, I can't help but laugh at seeing him on that scooter. XD

Weren't Eggman's lines all from SA2?

I can actually see this being fun. I really had to lie to myself upon seeing Shadow in action, but I can honestly see myself having fun playing this.

THE TAILS DOLL WILL RETURN! and sonic X must die.

Lol! No Tails Doll in Sonic Riders!

In other news, shall I leak details about the Sonic Riders plot in spoiler formatting?

Light Speed · Post by **Light Speed** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 7:10 pm

Sure, I don't think many of us care too much about the story anyway. That's like the story to Mario Kart or something, added just because.

One Classy Bloke · Post by **One Classy Bloke** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 7:21 pm

It's actually fairly good, although the ending makes it a complete doss.

It uses the characters quite well too.

This spoiler will involve the Babylon Rogues.
It seems they become simple rivals to the normal group. They might make more appearences though.

There's some damn good FMV too.

But they will become simple evil rivals, right? Right? ._.

Also, is the FMV in the game anime like in the intro, CGI, or real-time.

Eggman in a scooter is such a high point for me. I'm getting a bit more eager for this game now.

This is not so much a spoiler as a prophecy fulfilled.
