I don't see how Metal Sonic isn't the evil Sonic. Sure he's a robot designed for it but when they let him have a personality he has the smugness, love of racing and desire to prove himself befitting an Evil Counterpart. He even has the common sub-trope of "the evil counterpart has an obsession with their good self"
If you're referring to what I said, Metal Sonic is already in Rivals 2...he's partnered with Shadow while Eggman speaks through him.
The evil Sonic is just an illusion in the Haunted Mansion level, it's not a villain.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Much earlier in the month, Sonic's Japanese Twitter held a poll
on what the next monthly isekai pairing would be and it was Tikal and either Chaos or Pachamac. Needless to say, Chaos won by a landslide.
Today, we see the result: Tikal and Chaos running a restaurant for Chao!
And it's as cute as you think it is!

Yeah!
- January 2023: Singing Duo Shadow and Infinite!
- February 2023: Fortune Teller Amy and Magical Girl Blaze!
Keep in mind, these stories are in Japanese, so you'll either need Google Translate or wait for someone to properly translate it.
I still feel for Liam O'Brian doing his hardest to make Infinite's breakdown tragic but there's just no saving that scene.
Like if only they played up how pathetic Infinite actually is and instead of trying to make him unironically cool.
Infinite is an amazing character on accident.

I'm pretty sure such outfits are standard for Japanese pop idols. At least, I've seen similar outfits used in parodies and send-ups, like the Japanese pro wrestler Taichi's "Holy Emperor" gimmick.
I'm tellin' you guys, they should straight up make Infinite into an evil Chuunibyou. I'm not even kidding, it would be perfect characterization for him.
I imagine this wouldn't be worth noting if the games hadn't avoided adding one-shot characters for a long time.
Single use Side characters make identity.

Huh, according to their wiki pages, Emerl has had more cameo appearances and references than Gemerl.

I'm late for the "What levels would you choose in a Generations type game," but I just want to say Kingdom Valley just SHOULD have been the 06 stage.
So swap out Seaside Hill for Casino Park, Frog Forest, Hang Castle, or Egg Fleet. (So we don't double up on water levels, which Classic Kingdom Valley would probably be).
