Shrine to the Dark one

While recent Sonic games don't make full use of Metal Sonic's potential, most fans would agree that the mechanical masterpiece is the epitome of style and slickness in the Sonic series. However, other than the profile from the Japanese
Sonic CD manual, little is know about Eggman's greatest creation. Thankfully, one Japanese Sonic fan has created
this shrine to the dark one. While it might lack some of Metal's flair, it does contain a few pictures of official merchandise, artwork and (best of all) his
Chaotix profile.

Did you forget to post a link there?

links are in black text. Text is in black text. I can't imagine how anyone could mix up the two.
It's an okay site, but only because of the pictures for my part. Japanese is Greek to me.

I have edited the link to make it stand out more.
Japanese is Greek to me.
Metal Sonic's Chaotix profile is the real highlight.

Hey, where's this picture from?

I've never seen that one before. It might be better if I don't find a high-quality version of it, because I'd probably jack off to it.

Official artwork of Super Sonic? That's news to me.
This site is indeed sexy. I second Gibbs - it's a veritable treasure trove of wank material for Sonic fans.

Wait, what's Super Sonic doing on a page filled with Sonic CD images? Crazy.

I have both of these pictures on my SegaSonic the Hedgehog pencil case. Though the item is a bit smudge, should I scan it anyway?

Well since big smile asked so nicely...
I tried to clean up the smudges featuring the character images the best I can in Photoshop. Images are a bit big so I warning you 56K'ers.

Ahh the old school art is way past cool (sorry I just had to let that out)

What is Sonic holding in his hand on the front, and why does it say Segasonic?

He isn't holding anything in his hand. He's just making a fist because he's ready to KICK. YOUR. ASS!
As for the way the SegaSonic the Hedgehog label, you got me. Apparently, this name was used in Japanese Sonic merchandise throughout the early-to-mid 90's. Heard it was supposed to be Sonic's full name, but I'm not so sure about that.

Did anyone else notice that the way Sonic is drawn on the front of the pencil case is a lot different from the way he is drawn on the back? These are some interesting finds all around.

Oh, I thought that star was being held by Sonic cause it's light ray looked like a string of something.

Is it possible for someone with mad skills to crop that Super Sonic picture? It'd do nicely on the GHZ Glossary, methinks.
And for me to jizz over. But that's another story.

That's the only Super Sonic picture I have except for the Sonic R one. I'm pretty sure there's one from the Adventure era in the art gallery of Sonic Shuffle, could anyone get a screenshot of that?
The "SegaSonic" thing from the early nineties was an effort to raise brand awareness. Sonic wouldn't have meant much if people didn't learn to immediately associate him with Sega.

So, what does Chaotix have to say about Metal Sonic?

It's in Japanese and doesn't translate properly. Apparently, after being destroyed in
Sonic CD, Metal Sonic was rebuilt using the dark ring and some plastic-thing that gives him new powers.

There is only his head:
From memory, I think there is also a 'winning' and 'losing' version, but I could be wrong. (I'll try and replay the game to check if I get the chance).

Would that be his amazing power to STAND STILL AND DO NOTHING while the level-select machine gets busted all around him, or his incredible transformation into THE EASIEST FINAL BOSS of the entire series?
*torments CAPS-LOCK*
