I half expected Orbot and Cubot to join as racers. I would have liked it if we got lines for Metal Sonic and Egg Pawn.

Yeah, it's really annoying that in a game that puts so much attention into fun interactions between the characters, Metal Sonic gets to be in the roster but doesn't get to participate. He might as well be a DLC character.

Like, if you're committed to him not having a voice, all the voice lines are subtitled anyway: just subtitle what his comeback is.

Though some of the characters who can understand machines (Zavok, Zazz, Sage, Omega) do imply what they're saying anyways

I do miss talking Metal Sonic. Kinda unsure about leaving his speech capacity in Neo.

I think my favorite interaction is Omega and Espio

Do Omega and Espio game together??? The world wants to know, Ian!

I was pleasantly surprised by Espio’s rival dialogue when playing as Zazz. Perhaps the most specific reference to the events that happened in the IDW comics in the games so far.

[up][up][up]Both STC and Archie had him talking and Robotnik's Badniks talking but they didn't have to hire voice actors for them. I pictured the Egg Pawn talking in a modified version of Robotnik's voice just like Metal Sonic's is a modified version of Sonic's voice.

[up]No sympathy for Johnny here on my end, and yes that is my genuine opinion.

No way in hell that he didn't know they were using Live and Learn and didn't just suddenly see dollar signs when Paramount thought covering their bases was a good idea.

If Epic genuinely contacted him, then they made the same decision Paramount did on the same grounds.

[up][up]This is one of a few times were the little guy is in the wrong as he had to have know that he was getting royalties from a long time ago.

But the real sad part about this is it's the end of Sonic with Crush 40, all thanks to one person greed.

Looking at the launch trailer for the game, in which I'm pretty sure Eggman straight up murders Cream.

Gave the demo of Crossworlds a spin(dash).

I don't think I was as blown away as I was expecting to be when I finally got my hands on the game but it's still really darn fun (not to mention a very gorgeous-looking game to boot). I think Crossworlds will function very well as a companion piece to MKW where MKW puts the new spin on the Mario Kart formula while Crossworlds provides a more "traditional" karting experience (which I know that people who don't like the intermissions in MKW are desperately looking for).

When you play as Tails and your rival is Metal Sonic, Tails says that he knows exactly what Metal Sonic is going to do, strange isn't it?

I have a feeling that Dodon Pa invited all of the Deadly Six but Zeena was too lazy to enter, Zor didn't care about about entering, Zomom ate his invite and Master Zik is too busy enjoying his retirement.

Yeah I wonder if it will be just the games, IDW and the OVA that will get a nod towards or will their be other references.

I don't want a list of them, but was it revealed how many cross worlds there are?

Also, is there anyway to time trial or otherwise practice them? In the demo, if you choose a track in time trial, you just do it like a normal three laps - the Ring just brings you around on the second lap

[up]I have counted 15 courses so far on a video.

When you play as Metal Sonic Tails, Amy and Knuckles reference their Metal counterparts. So it seems like Metal Tails and Metal Amy exist outside of the prototype robots from Sonic Superstars.

There is an Archie reference with Omega's respect for Blaze the Cat, but it's vague enough that you need to delve deeply into Archie lore to fully understand it.

Meanwhile the robot version of Amy we got in Sonic The Comic were two Amy Badniks that used Amy as an organic battery. No Metallix Amy or Tails, instead Porker Lewis and Knuckles got a Metallix version of them. I am unsure if Metallix Knuckles counts as a Metal Knuckles since the design for the Knuckles Metallix appeared before the debut of Metal Knuckles. I think that the Archie Sonic also did a robot Knuckles before Metal Knuckles debuted.
