Of all the ways in which Sonic has blinked -- lids the color of his arms/mouth/stomach/ears, lids blue -- the ones voiced by Jaleel White were the worst. What did those animators think the white of his part-cyclops eye was?

Huh... The OVA called Sonic the Hedgehog did it too.

The final level in the {Sonic Triple Trouble} remake where you are Super Sonic has music that's more metal. The drums. I know a ton of gamers players are metal-heads, but it doesn't really belong.

I'm on the last level in Sonic Robo Blast (1998), Black Core Zone 3. It is also too metal. Like I said, too many players are metal-heads. This is one reason players can't score their own games; they must be scored by outsiders.

Did this today.



I still don't think Sonic Robo Blast's movement and obstacles are great. The later levels become so weird that it's impossible to anticipate things, slowing the game too much. Also too easy to accidentally dash forward while a ball in the air; might have been better mapped to another button. But this is more what I wanted from Sega's 3D Sonic, comes closer to the dream. They have always made the mistake of thinking the game needs to be so automated, that you need to be funneled into the loops or along the half-pipes with control limited. Would the games sell well without holding the player's hand so much? I'm not sure. But plenty of modern hits aren't automated and easy.

Next time I look it'll probably be the 5th or 6th movie in 2026-7. Sonic moves fast but having movies come out fast seems odd (then again..... Marvel. Spiderman comes out and before I know it the avenger saga has come to an end). Not like I see movies unless I visit my brother..... which will probably not happen ever again.

I don't know if the threads aware but SatAM is getting a fan-made season 3.

Visual quality looks amazing, the voice acting not so much but I think later on you could probably get AI to mimic the originals VAs without issue, so whilst its probably not going to be great, its a good foundation to turn into something even better eventually. I'm glad we're getting it, it seems strange though we've skipped over the death egg saga from the comics so they'll have to obviously write in knuckles somehow into season 3. and yes that is Crush40's lead singer.

And as I said in the movie thread, I am really hyped af for the Sonic 4 movie because its based on my favorite sonic game, so hell yeah.
The ending of the movie sees the events of Sonic CD begin. An Army of Hyper Metal Sonics time travel into the present and Amy is a bystander initially to their invasion as they beat up sonic, she smashes them with her hammer- ngl getting Sarah Conner vibes. Metal's design is absolutely incredible, they did such an amazing job.

The furries had a fucking fit that Hobo With A Shotgun used a certain theme-song to in the credits.



Btw, this is how the trailer should have been IMHO. Too much shit in the actual trailer spoiling the movie.
