Today, on things I found out about, AI covers. Behold, Michael Jackson sings Escape from the City and Live and Learn, in an alternate universe where MJ becomes the long-running artist for Sonic from the US side.

[up]x3 That's why I said before you can give her throwable tarot cards, since her having a projectile makes sense, at least to me. But now we see that Amy has always been carrying spares for her hammer like in Murder... a lot of spares [lol].

Ok, I call bullcrap on this.

How can Tails get a super form with the seven emeralds, but Amy needs the Super Emeralds to transform? I draw the lines at double standards, man!

For some reason Hyper Amy doesn't have the stars that appear behind the characters when running or the afterimages specific to Hyper forms.

After all these years, I still have no idea why the Magic Gloves are a thing in Adventure 2.

Sonic's shtick was getting odd optional powerups. From the extra ability from the 3&K shields, to the 06 gems; the Magic Hands are just another version of that.

The other explanation is that there is an upgrade in every level. As Sonic has 6 levels, he gets 6 upgrades, and so they made an weird one.

Meanwhile Shadow is missing a vital movement option due to only getting 4 levels; Tails and Rouge also have just 4 levels, but the upgrades they lack aren't as important.

I mean, true, but there surely could have been something more in line with Sonic's usual skillset.

It was probably just some weird, random idea someone on the staff had that would normally be rejected but it made the cut as an optional power-up because of how many power-ups Sonic got (because they wanted one for every stage).

Yeah, there's an AC in Cannon's Core that's over a pit, but you have to kill it to move on. Scary to Homing Attack... But Magic Hands will reach it.

I think there might also be a few specific situaions in Hard Modes where its useful? But I don't remember off the top of my head.

It's definitely strong (if a bit clunky). But then, so are the secret guns from Shadow the Hedgehog.

I'd say only the Heal Cannon (super situational) and the Satellite Laser (cool, but slow) fall into that. The others are pretty straightforward and useful

Well, I was thinking more like using guns at all in that game kind of feel clunky to me. But YMMV. And of course, the most powerful ones have things like homing that negate that.

Sonic Superstars was briefly showcased at the Nintendo Direct today

But alongside that, there was a new game called "Penny's Big Breakaway" which is stated to be from the Sonic Mania team, which reminds me that Evening Star Studio (comprised of former Sonic Mania devs) was recruiting for two years ago.

Newly announced is Penny's Big Breakaway. Why is is this relevant? It's made by the Sonic Mania team, so this is what they've been doing instead of making more Sonic.

[up][up][up] Safe bet is that we'll be hearing more news about the Sonic Frontiers free birthday update.

[up][up] As I said earlier, that is correct. I saw that Evening Star Studio was hiring for an unknown 3D game at the time two years ago, which it turns out is this game.

Newly announced is Penny's Big Breakaway.

I love that this is the era of retro comeback for early 3D-style platformers.

Who knows, maybe we really will get an Adventure-revival game one of these days.

So, in Sonic Superstars...

Amy gets both a double jump and the nerfed Drop Dash.

That's a little better, it's a pretty weak double jump tho.
