Slightly less horrifying version based on the edit

Someone brightened the image a bit. (The green eye on his actual face was added by the user as a prediction) Looks like they want to make him look like an actual hedgehog...

Based on the beady eye, here's my prediction. (Yeah it looks bad, but I'm on a phone right now)

This is why the Taxman versions of 1 and 2 need to be set free and ported to consoles and PC already. I seriously don't get why they still haven't done it. Do they just have some sort of grudge? Is there an unspoken rule that every new release of Sonic 1 and 2 MUST be an emulation of the originals with minor new features added here and there? They didn't have a problem bringing Sonic CD 2011 to literally every single platform available at the time, so what's the deal?

What sprites? I tried searching "hortinus mighty and ray" and found nothing. I agree that Ray's sprites look rather off and low quality compared to the others, but you can't just say that someone else's sprites are superior without showing us.

Why are Sonic's eyebrows so thick?

Anyone else wondering what's up with the more Green Hill-styled grass in Angel Island?

They could do something similar to Mario Kart 8's Animal Crossing track but with time periods instead of seasons.

I think a Sonic-only racer would be pretty neat, but only if they don't completely waste all the potential that could come from it. A game like this would be the perfect opportunity to bring back lesser-known locations that we haven't seen in a while. Imagine racing in tracks based on Spring Yard, Wacky Workbench, Grand Metropolis, Eggmanland, and those are just off the top of my head. The list goes on and on. Sonic has so many cool and interesting locations that often get shoved aside for the same boring places we've seen a hundred times already. Nobody wants to play in Green Hill, Chemical Plant or Seaside Hill again. We're tired of it. Everyone's tired of it. Knowing the state of the Sonic brand since 2010 though, I imagine the selection of tracks would be mostly composed of tracks based on all six locations in Forces. But a man can dream, right?

Not sure if it's already been posted elsewhere, but somebody found an earlier version of Mortar Canyon. This actually looks fun and challenging. What happened?

Unfortunately it's all but canon now. The planet in Forces looks nothing like the one in Unleashed. At least with Unleashed's planet looking nothing like the ones in Shadow and Riders (Both of which resemble our actual planet Earth) there was the excuse that Sonic's planet was more of a concept than a central part of the games back then, and so they didn't really need to have a consistent idea of what it looked like. But with Forces this was a deliberate decision. Unleashed said okay, this is what Sonic's world really looks like, we finally have it all sorted out. And then Forces, the first game to take place back on an actual planet (Lost Hex doesn't count) in nine years, just throws that in the trash, likely to justify the whole "two worlds" thing. And I hate it. I can't be bothered to check right now, but this has to be a recent change, right? Didn't the planet in Colors and both episodes of Sonic 4 resemble the one from Unleashed?

I've always wondered why they didn't just go with this. Instead they decided to make him all weird and lanky. At least they came to their senses and decided to use this design for Unleashed onward.

Pretty much this. Any pre-2010 canon might as well be non-existent at this point.

Apparently there's a Java port. Who knew?
