Is this supposed to be Angel Island? Was Rouge still on the island when she took the Emerald from the shrine? Someone pointed out that in the Egyptian hieroglyphs in the desert area stages there are echidna looking figures and Chao, and what appears to be depictions of the Master Emerald. Sonic can also be spotted in these hieroglyphs, similarly to how there are Sonic statues in Hydro City and of course the Hidden Palace mural. And there are the human statues like the depictions of humans seen on Angel Island in Sonic 3.

The hands on this one looks similar to some later artwork, particularly the curled hands. Same with the way the glove cuffs and shoe cuffs are drawn with those U-shaped creases.

This is Yuji Uekawa's artwork, right? He was credited as an artist for Sonic Jam.

The shorter height appears to stem from the Dipodidae (Jerboa). Being based off of a small rodent, Fang himself would have been a small character. I'm guessing Fang was made taller when it was decided he would also be a wolf hybrid.

Nothing implied playability from what I read at that moment. "Planned" doesn't mean "planned to be playable". The anthro girl on the posters and billboards, in Speed Highway. You can see her in early footage shown off in the Sonic Adventure August '98 Unveiling at the Tokyo International Forum. Yeah, he admits his English isn't the best: But he does thank someone for clarifying what he meant, so "planned" in some capacity.

Not sure if this deserves its own topic, but it turns out that the anthro girl seen on various posters in Sonic Adventure's Speed Highway was a planned character for the game!

Sonic characters have always been rubber hose by design, dude. Their bodies stretch and squash, that's just what they do.

"Mobian-shaped"? Lumina looks "mobian-shaped". Same way, like...Chaos or Emerl or Cosmo are "Mobian-shaped". Large heads, hands and feet, rubber-hose limbs... And Chip...looks like one I guess. I'd call this "Uekawa designed characters" since the human Eggman (including Nega) have the same design qualities. More like he's just easier to throw over Sonic's rig and call it a day.

My mind immediately went to the Cute Sonic screen from Sonic CD.

That’s a neat idea. That sounds like a better alternative to waiting for a single character per month.

Chess made an astute observation. Shades. Mustache. This can't be a coincidence. The Man 3 short when?

Seeing Tikal at all was a pleasant surprise. Seeing Tikal as a Force ghost was a massive plus.

Here's the Mega CD version. I assume this happens in every version. He just runs fast enough to demolish them I guess.

That's strange though...it doesn't look like water. As you said, the way it illuminates as well as the lime hue presents something different. The way it's formed around her fist makes it looks like some type of energy. The Sonic wiki (yeah I know, not totally reliable) says it's some kind of energy blast. That's the thing; this power could technically be anything but Hydrokinesis seems less likely. Light manipulation. If they could stop messing around with Zavok for 2 seconds and physically put Marine in another game, please, elaborate on this ability because it's interesting. Due to the fact that she knocked back an enemy Super Sonic and Burning Blaze had to team up to defeat makes Marine potentially very powerful. I'll have to try it out later.
