Next year or the next after, presumably.

I'm honestly puzzled over whatever The End design is lazy, or genius in its simplicity. Because sometimes on Twitter you will see a weird photo of the moon and a good chunk of Sonic fans will associate it with the Frontiers villain.

Like, hey, simplicity is key sometimes.

Who had new official Tails Doll Sonic Channel art on their 2023 bingo card?

If you did, then here ya go, part of a bunch of celebratory illustrations for the release of Sonic R. It's a mix of cute and creepy, kinda the way I like the character (never was a fan of the creepypasta stuff the character became associated with).

I just find Metal Tails a superior design. The tails being a huge jetpack-like turbine is a really good move.

Tails Doll memes really ran their course when Gems Collection released, 18 years ago.

Really? I thought they did around the early 2010s when creepypastas were all the rage.

To me they just felt like a rethread of what I had already seen in Game FA Qs in 2005. But I suppose new people finding old things and giving them a new go was in play.

I like Tails Doll. Glad it got a cameo in Superstars.

Pariah talks about changes he would make to combat and bosses in the series.

Wow Wonder is way easier than Superstars. Minus the challenge levels of course haha. Bowser was also a much easier fight than Eggman, I beat him first try. Mean while Eggman took me a good amount of tries, and this was with Tails who arguably has the easiest time against him.

I got the sense that Nintendo is trying to appeal to young and casual gamers more than ever, which I think is a smart choice. Especially if you're confident that the game is fun and engaging despite the lower difficulty. Unlike some other series...*coughpokemoncough*

I warmed up to Superstars. The latter half of the game was pretty fun and I loved Egg Fortress Act 2 and the final boss. I always wished we had gotten the Final Fever boss that was scrapped from the CD remake and this is the closest we'll probably ever get.

Game has some glaring issues though and I think it might be THE most divisive Sonic game I've seen in terms of fan reception. So many people have issues with it, but their takes are all over the place. The most consistent criticism I've seen is the OST.

Look, I respect Jun for the Adventure series but come on now...

Jun is the weakest part of the OST by far but honestly not of it is bad. Only a few tracks are actively offputting, the rest range from fairly decent to outright good. Topes does a lot of heavy carrying though haha.

What will happen to the titans and the Ancients technology? Could the Zeti control it?

I can only hope Eggman makes due of his promise with the Sequel Hook to use it on the future. It would be a waste for him to just not use anything from the Starfall Islands for his projects.

And yes, the Zeti could control them. They are made of technology, Zavok can take control of them.

I do wonder that if the Deadly Six do come back into the games, will they be written better this time around than they were when they were first introduced? They are being written pretty well in the IDW comics.

The Deadly Six would benefit a lot from being in a game that isn't Lost World. Despite being the main villains of that game, the game was way more interested in Sonic and Eggman teaming up than whatever they were doing.

Getting a story focused on them would be a start.

Yeah and maybe make the Deadly Six into more of a threat than they were in Lost World. Like in that game, it was a bit hard to take them seriously because of how the game was written.

They could return, the issue is: in what? Because the fandom thinks Zavok and the D6 have become recurring characters infesting every game, when the truth is that they are in spin-off titles because Sonic needed more characters.

And not even that, they are barely promoted. In the Mario and Sonic games, only two appear as special guests characters; and despite appearing in Team Sonic Racing, Zavok wasn't promoted at all (this also applies to Metal Sonic, weirdly enough)

Only in Forces does Zavok appear. I imagine guys are just really petty that Zavok is the only phantom boss, as Chaos and Shadow were defeated in cutscenes, and Metal Sonic was part of a level.

Ehh, counting Metal Sonic as a level and not a boss fight in Forces is adhering too strictly to labels. The “level” is almost entirely the boss fight, there’s just a small lead-up.

And Metal Sonic being in races as part of the level is kind of his "thing."

Three off the top of my head. CD, Generations, and Forces, with CD of course being his first and biggest appearance.

Maybe he should running and give us a battle like Mecha Sonic's battles.

He doesn't race you in Generations...

And in Sonic Mania he's primarily attacking you, as opposed to attacking being an incidental element of him speeding up.

The battles in Generations and Mania are basically the same: using the backdrops of races, they're actually "hit the boss X number of times" fights. The one in Superstars is similar, as is the one in Forces.
