The American manual for Sonic 2 said it was Tails who came up with the spin dash

[up]How do you think he affords all his equipment?

On that note, how/why the hell does Tails curl up for jumping and spin dashing? Hedgehogs and echidnas are known for being able to curl up like that (not necessarily to do those things, but still), but foxes... well... are not.

Not to mention he’s somehow able to rotor his tails independently while also doing frontward spins.

Tails is a mystery of physics.

Tails was basically a Palette Swap for Sonic when he first debuted so he couldn’t really function in the game without it.

Amy in Advance is really the only character in a traditional 2D game that can’t do it and it makes for a really unique experience. The classic versions of the chaotix all have their own unique spin attack variations too.

[up] His tails are endowed with the same magic as Cream’s ears and Knuckles dreadlocks lol.

So going back to the discussion of how 2000s fans being not kind to Colors:

Geek Critique did a thread talking about how Classic fans reacted to SA2, and it’s very similar to what we are seeing with Colors and 2000s fans.

He even brings up how the 2000s fans looking on Unleashed more fondly because of it still containing the conventions that made up the games they grew up on is eerily similar to how Classic fans look more fondly upon SA 1 than SA 2 for the same reasons.

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!

Mmmmm game looks alright but if they keep doing teasers/demos/overviews like this it's going to lose my interest.

It was a necessary facet of the genre but not being able to explore an area until Sonic solves a puzzle, or cross a chasm until a bridge is made is... kind of silly.

I always feel like Sonic's super speed need be considered. It's ridiculous how a character like Kratos from God of War can have super strength but can't rip a dopr down, forcing him to solve a puzzle to open it. It'd be silly if Sonic can run at superhuman speed but needs a bridge to cross into a new area. I liked how in some games he'd literally leap through debris to forge a path through.

Alas

It recently occurred to me that Knuckles has not been a boss fight since Black Knight, in 2009. And technically speaking, its not even the real Knuckles.

So going by that, his last real boss fight was in Sonic Advance 2, in 2002

Sega...why...

I don't think it makes sense for him to be a boss fight anymore.
