The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!For some reason Hyper Amy doesn't have the stars that appear behind the characters when running or the afterimages specific to Hyper forms.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.After all these years, I still have no idea why the Magic Gloves are a thing in Adventure 2.
My musician pageSonic'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.
My musician pageIt's definitely strong (if a bit clunky). But then, so are the secret guns from Shadow the Hedgehog.
My musician pageWell, 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.
My musician pageSonic 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.

Sega didn't wanna be left out of the showcases I guess.
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.
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.
