Cognitive Dissonance fucking me up looking at that design.

Mania's physics are confirmed to be the backbone of Superstars says Christian Whitehead. So, uh, rejoice? Mania was a hit, so I expect this to follow suit.

That's fine for purists...but if the level design doesn't make use of it, doesn't matter too much.

And we've already seen 2 levels.

—-

By make use of it, you mean the level design makes it satisfying to use.

Well she got some unique startup sprites at least.

If they weren't going to make her yellow or blue, the least they could have done was more than a simple glow effect again.

Nope. They weren't going to make an entirely new sprite set. If they didn't do it for Tails, Knuckles, Mighty or Ray, they weren't gonna do it for Amy.

It doesn't seem like they gave Hyper Amy a special ability to differentiate from Super...

Sonic has a directional dash, Tails has his flicky army, and Knuckles has his own screen nuke...

Amy might not have anything...but also what would they even give her?

Game Gear footage has also been shown. Pretty bare bones with echo-y sound emulation (you can play 2 player on the compatible games though).

I was also wondering what kind of extra thing she could have.

[up]In Actuallygiveashitland?

Besides the obvious bigger hammer, maybe her double jump could be extended into a slow descent psuedo-glide? No sticking to walls or actually gaining height, though.

Alternatively, maybe she could destroy level terrain and save a little time by not having to deal with loops or platforming sections with low ceilings.

I was never really expecting much from Origins Amy. She's a tacked-on DLC addition to a port of games thirty years too old for them to have much in the way of leeway for rebalancing or reconceptualizing. They were never going to reinvent the wheel to have her have a unique moveset in any of the Origins games.

So she was either going to get some blanket ability that made her completely broken, or not have much at all. There's no real middle ground for that sort of thing, and we just got the latter.

We're more likely to see her conceived in a genuinely unique way in Superstars.

Takes me 0 seconds to come up with a unique ability: hold jump in the air (just like a drop dash) for Amy to pull out her hammer, giving her a bit of a disjointed hitbox but also causing her to do her hammer launch move when she lands on the ground, for more height than a regular jump could provide.

Is that going to be good? Probably not, given Tails and Knuckles already have superior vertical mobility, but it's at least distinctly different, and would give Amy some room for unique pathways relative to Sonic.

Give Amy a move where she fires an arrow at the enemies or charge it up to throw a hammer instead.

Well, the idea is there...but something is missing.

It needs to kill enemies without any effort.

The arrow or crossbow bolt would be fast but only fires one at a time and have a small area of effect. The hammer throw would be slow but have a large area of effect.

@Known Unknown You say that when multiple character mods/hacks exist of the old games which implement new movesets and playstyles that run just fine.

I'm pretty sure Amy has MULTIPLE different mods which experiment with different playstyles, all more innovative than what Origins gave her.
