Does this count as a game featuring Knuckles? Chaotix fucking sucks, by the way. It's fascinating that what was essentially the de facto flagship title of the console, that is legitimately as frequently beautiful to look at as well as extremely visually dense (not to mention its phenemonal soundtrack) has a core gameplay loop that's so atrocious. The only part it has that almost works is Speed Slider, but I was playing through the final levels of this actually literally half asleep and was still plowing through everything. I do really like the special stages though, and while they're practically impossible after the first couple of them the wireframe second versions also look really cool. Like this background is so pretty with its animated water with like 8 different layers of parallax scrolling but you spend so much of the game pinballing off of everything that you never actually see anything. It also barely plays/controls any better. The whole thing is the techiest of tech demoes; like everything about Sonic CD (good and bad) amped up a hundred times. Also: lol Sonic Heroes. This game had three designers? I wouldn't have been surprised if you told me it didn't even have one. Six map designers? Were they each taking turns doing individual tiles? It even has the Blinx guy. At least a couple people showed the fuck up to work on this. And how!

I'm not convinced Bark has ever had any first words. He lets his fists do the talking, and they make two highly compelling arguments.

"Any last words?" ... "Very well!" is a good moment.

just for the knuckles challenge.

It's no big deal. That was funny anyway.

We have more preview pages

Bro who put lil bro in Peach’s Dress bru

That could work! They're kinda the same, yet polar opposites. (Haha. Julietails. Romarine.)

Nah my friends were joking about it too, with how Nine was so jealous of Tails being on Sonic's mind more, can't blame anyone for seeing it like that, but as someone who lowkey related to Nine as a kid I can't bring myself to make fun of the poor guy. Bro went through a lot haha. Though despite my controversial likes in ships, really can't bring myself to like Sonine or whatever it's called. Just way too much baggage, misunderstanding and jealousy going on and I'm boring so I like things being as fluffy, warm-hearted, and sappy as possible. Respect to a few people I know who do, though. I understand the appeal. Also, since we were talking about rarepairs, kinda wanna bring up a ship that wasn't really a rarepair but nowadays probably could be considered one; Tails/Marine (Tailrine? I don't know the ship name haha). It's cute and lowkey I won't deny I like it as the foil to Sonic/Blaze but since Blaze's World rarely gets focused on we never get any interactions between the two goobers anymore... Outside of that one Sonic Art we got a few months back (and by a few months back I just realized it's almost a year old oops): (Who forced my poor bro into a dress? ) Sure the few living Tails/Marine shippers were eating good when this came out.

Well, the idea of rushing through it was kind of intended, as it was what I had in mind when creating the topic. However, once people started posting, and I could tell that everybody followed my instructions, but as in, drawing right now from memory, etc, but not within seconds, I quickly accepted the idea. It's kind of amazing seeing what people come with within the guidelines I made. Anyways, regarding your drawing, yeah, that is a pretty good looking Knuckles! It looks completely accurate for being completely based on memory. Nicely done! Oh yeah, and again, sorry for the whole tail/leg thing earlier.

Doing my Knuckles check in, since I was asked to check out what was new on the Speed Sim test server, I decided to get the event done and get the boy. He's got the hat so he's automatically the best character in the game.

Half of the codes don’t work for me, but I already have good chao so I’m fine

Here's a better pick of knuckles. I didn't rush it this time and I drew him from memory:

Weekly Check-In : Sonic Adventure DX (Steam Release, Modded) I finished Tails' Adventure this week...but not before I got some Dreamcast conversion mods installed. Goodbye vanilla SADX! ...And after seeing how the game looks? In full widescreen, no less? Good riddance. Don't get me wrong, I did like the DX models, but during Sonic's Adventure I couldn't shake the feeling that they themselves looked like they were modded in; The extra life icons and ending screens even still used the old look! It's up to personal taste really, but I prefer the low poly aesthetic of the Dreamcast models and how well they blend with the scenery/animations compared to the DX ones. The characters look like they belong in the game now. I also liked the DX textures when I had nothing else to compare them to...but the world looks much more vibrant now and I don't think I could go back lol. It's just...wow, what a difference. Lookin' good, Burger Guy. I ended up using PKR's SADX Mod Installer to make the change and because of it, the process was painless and required very little work on my end. Highly recommend if you're playing the Steam port! Alright, so Tails. I have mixed feelings on his route. I would describe it as an easy mode for an already easy game with a simple yet heartwarming character arc. Not exactly the most fun to play, but worth it for story reasons. The gameplay was much like Sonic's, but less satisfying to maneuver and more forgiving. Flying was kind of fun, but it was floaty and strange to use when trying to move forward fast. Coming off of Sonic's route, it was frustrating to not be able to reach his speed in the same courses, and it made Tails feel like a downgrade despite gaining the ability to fly...but hm. Now that I think about it, that's kind of thematic, actually? Tails does struggle with being in Sonic's shadow, and may feel the same frustration with not having Sonic's capabilities... Oh sweet, an ability to spin infinitely! Nevermind, this rules. As for the story...Gah, it's so simple yet effective in showing off Sonic and Tails' brotherly bond and is a compelling underdog story to boot. It was satisfying to see Tails grow into his own by the end of it. I was rooting for the little guy, and he came through! Look at that expression. I can't help but smile too. Something else I really liked were Sonic's lines during their races. His playful taunting when passing Tails alongside the way he acted proud of Tails when passed. It really sold the idea that he was encouraging his kid brother to try his best. Knuckles Bonus Challenge : Sonic Adventure DX (Steam Release, Modded)...Again. Hey Knux, I'm ready to play your-- Oh. Hm. Looks like he's asleep. Oh well, guess I'll come back next week. --- *raises hand* Me! I like them! I love to take my time exploring within games to find things, so enjoy that these stages are built around that type of behavior. I blame Lego Star Wars and its canisters even though its not quite the same lol.

I am up to episode 4. EDIT: Okay, watched the whole thing, and I loved it!

ill add in a segment about apperances sa2 and sonic 06 (i havent played heroes, so someone else will have to do that)

I honestly liked how Shadow was being portrayed in Sonic Prime. Say what you will about Sonic Prime, but one of the most praised parts of the series was Shadow's characterization as being this grumpy guy who still wants to help out Sonic. I just wish that SEGA just let Shadow have more emotions than just the angry guy who just wants to fight stronger opponents.

It's super well thought out! I'm definitely on board with that idea. I always found the world that the OVA established to be pretty interesting, and it's strange how it was literally never expanded upon after that (except for a brief appearance in Archie). The Land of the Sky and Land of Darkness are neat concepts. I absolutely agree. Tails needs some time in the spotlight for sure. He was already robbed by Chris in Sonic X...

It’s fine. Not great, but definitely not worth all the hate it’s getting. But i always remind myself it’s just a little side story. Seeing as the episodes that are more liked seem to have been written by the movie crew and directed by Fowler, it gives me hope for Movie 3. Even if I didn’t like it, I’d rather have this and easily skip over it rather than have it be all MCU and be required viewing for future films.

A Tails-centric show. I don't care what the premise is, as long as it's fully animated and doesn't shove the title character to the side in favour of forgettable human characters that no one cares about!

The buddy you want is the "Mystic Melody".

No, no, let it cook. Actually, the more i think on this, the more i want to expand on it.

You can tell we're closing in on the end of this story, as the enemies and obstacles are literally everywhere... It's stressful, annoying, and I'm gonna lose it if the last stage is a ballache.

It's been awhile since this topic was brought up, and I relish the chance to talk Sonic cartoons. An Sonic OVA continuation, with characters from around the franchise mixed in. Instead of inventing a new character to act as audience surrogate I'd use Cream to introduce the world of the OVA. Robotink's using people to power his robots. A lot of treasure hunting, power rings, power stones, chaos emeralds. There's Sonic, Tails, Cream, Vector, Espio, Charmy, Amy, Tekno, Knuckles, Rouge, Robotnik, Sara. Cream's separated from Vanilla and the season arc is the gang helping Cream locate her mother. Missing persons are a bit of common occurrence as Robotnik is doing the living batteries thing from the classic games. The Chaotix position as a detective agency actually fits stupid well in this scenario, and I love the Chaotix so of course I've gotta incorporate them. Again all of this is in the backdrop of the OVA setting, plenty of travel by plane, and venturing in and out of the land of darkness. Rouge works with Robotnik for awhile secretly working for the president to find the missing people. She also gets side tracked racing against Knuckles for treasures. For now I'd focus on playing up her villainy, and skill at subterfuge for, and establish her as a rival treasure hunter to Knuckles. I'd probably have her use Tekno's history from StC as a former weapon engineer for Robotnik as blackmail Team Rose: Amy exists, and together with Tekno have been making a name for themselves as treasure hunters. Her crush is intact, but she's at the "doing things to impress Sonic" stage, and so might come off as downplayed. Treasure Hunting would be a major theme of the series, (so much so I'd probably title the series "Treasures", or ""Treasure R" or something along those lines), and when not focused on the central arc of the season I'd give way to misadventures searching ruins and caves for chaos emeralds, power rings, and the like. Once the season arc with Cream is established I'd introduce Amy with a lead on a treasure and asking Sonic for an assist, and yes my ideal team rose roster would be Amy, Tekno, and Cream, but with how I'm using Cream there's a bit of legwork to do there. If Amy were to encounter Sara they'd be chatty friends and maybe occasionally buck heads a bit over Sonic. It's not to well thought out.
