Sonic is Coming to Lego Dimensions "Gotta LeGo Fast!"

[kirby1up]

@sploit sonic and every other minifigure and vehicle in lego dimensions can go to every single level in the game you just need specific characters to unlock access to those areas.

@kirby1up Thanks for the info.

That is awesome. Can't wait to see footage of lego Sonic interacting with more worlds/levels.

So, I just had this idea pop into my head recently:

Do you guys think that Sonic's Adventure World (or the playable level) might include a hidden area or two, set in the Sol Dimension and/or Silver's future? I mean, the Adventure Time world had a few hidden portals and a TARDIS dock to go into the past, so I don't think it would be entirely impossible. Plus, it probably wouldn't be too hard to implement them into the Adventure World:

- Silver's time could be reached either through the TARDIS or a simple 'Back To The Future' vehicle dock, since it's just Sonic's future.
- The Sol Dimension, on the other hand, would most likely be accessed only with the TARDIS. (...Maybe a hidden portal, at the very least?)

Anyway, that was just a random thought I had. Having bought the game recently, I'm really interested to see how Sonic's world and level will turn out.

Possibly the TARDIS and DeLorean could take you back to Tikal's time or the Classic era as well? Maybe TARDIS can also access a world based on the comics/shows as a hidden portal (outside Sonic's world?) Arabian Nights? Maginaryworld? The sketchog world and Sonic the Hedge Dog?The possibilities are only limited by copyright.

Seeing Angel Island in Tikal's era could be an interesting bonus, though I kinda see it being more likely to appear in the level instead of the Adventure World. Then again, it mostly depends on what various levels they use to make the entire hub world. (If I recall, so far the confirmed zones are Green Hill, Labyrinth, Chemical Plant and Emerald Coast. I think Carnival Night might've been shown too? I'm not sure.)

The classic era is pretty much represented in the world's current time anyway, since they're already using a few classic zones. The only real possible difference would be seeing classic character designs, which I think would be harder to differenciate in LEGO form. Sonic himself might end up referencing certain alternate continuities (comics, Storybook games etc.) in his dialogue, but I doubt there'll be much else.

Classic Era would be more of seeing abandoned characters (at the very least Mecha Sonic and Egg Robo), and maybe pixelated textures.

Welp, time for more footage:

Stuff of note:

• There's a custom intro a-la Sonic 1 (it's a bit cut off in that vid, here's the best vid we've got of it), and interestingly enough Sonic Team's credited in part for it. Maybe Sonic Team's been more involved in this level pack than we first thought?
• Sonic's HUD in the top left-hand corner of the screen literally has 1UP monitors representing the health hearts. 
• Sonic also does his classic "oh I've been hit" pose when hit by a badnik in the stage. 
• At 1:50 there's a hidden area in one of the loops with an animal capsule in it. Probably contains a minikit at a guess.
• 2:25: "You will go through all years of sonic" - Pretty sure they don't mean literally everything, but they namedrop Chaos, Mecha Sonic and Metal Sonic as being in the level. Also they mention that it's gonna be roughly 6 stages in total, which makes sense considering the length of other level packs.
• At 2:55 Sonic doesn't just break up into pieces like everyone else in the game when they die: he falls off the screen a-la the classics. 
• At 3:19 when Sonic gets in the Tornado, he doesn't pilot it - he stands on the wing and Tails pilots it for you. Amazing.
• Neat lil' detail: When being sprung about on the springs, all the other characters flail about - except Sonic, who'll flail for a second and then move into his normal bouncing-off-spring pose from the classics. It's the little things that count.
• 3:36: They confirm that you collect the seven chaos emeralds through the level pack, and by the looks of it Super Sonic has a lot more sparkly effects around him than that last clip.
• 3:50: There's a giant special stage ring at the end of the act that they mention will take you to a special stage. Sadly they don't show the special stage, but it's neat to know that we're getting 'em.

That's all the stuff I noticed, and oh boy November 18th can't come soon enough.

There's one extra detail I noticed from that showcase:

Around 2:31 in the video, Sonic is seen winding his arm up as a reticle appears on the screen. At first, I thought it might mean that he has a projectile attack. But thinking about it more, it might be a similar reticle attack to the one that Quicksilver and other speedy characters had in LEGO Avengers.

Tails appearing to fly the Tornado is a great touch I wasn't expecting at all.  Looking forward to seeing more of its Crabmeat and Egg Catcher/Diablon modes, too.

[Ayliffe]

Some of these designs are... interesting, to say the least

 

[FriendBot]

Oh hey look, Shadow is the only other character in that screenshot that's smiling besides Sonic. 

That's how you know this isn't canon.

[Pawn]

I want that happy Shadow lego. D:

[Blazey Firekitty]

I'm kinda liking Knuckle's huge clawed hands of doom and Tails and Amy's "meh" expressions.

[DaddlerTheDalek]

I kinda like these Lego designs!

Bask in LEGO Sonic's glory as he goes through Chemical Plant in the Sonic Speedster!

Why LEGO Sonic is on a LEGO car?

And that's why LEGO Sonic Drift sucks!

 

In all seriousness though, the 18th can't come soon enough.

[Ayliffe]

Someone managed to find a copy of the level pack early, and although it doesn't work in-game yet there's a zone reveal on the back...

...Marble Zone confirmed!

 

[Jango]

Damn, Marble looks awesome, and Sonic's face is priceless!

[Menace2Society]

So, is this Sonic level pack basically going to be a LEGO recreation of Sonic 1?

[FriendBot]

Not really.

Emerald Coast has been hinted at being in it along with maybe Death Egg and a couple of other zones.

We can't say for sure when the 18th comes around.

[Jango]

Emerald Coast is on the front side of the packaging.

That pic's a bit eh, so here's a nice HD one (embeds a bit small, open image in a new tab to zoom and enhance):

There's more HD pics of all the rebuilds here too, including this adorable crabmeat:

d'awwww

 

[kirby1up]

how about I do you guys 1 better I managed to locate a in-game screenshot of emerald coast.

 

also another bit of news that I figured some of you might find useful is a snippet from the wallmart 2016 black friday ad papers

you'd have to wait a week and hope they aren't sold out on sonic level packs but it could save you 16 bucks if moneys an issue.

[Jango]

Damn, am I thinking about buying LEGO Dimensions just to play the Sonic Level Pack??!! Looks so cool, I wonder if all the levels are merged together like one HUGE open-world game (it would make sense, it's an island after all) or if there's some kind of portal connecting them (lame, but okay).
