I had a dream where THE END from Sonic Frontiers was in my house...thankfully it went up too high and brushed against the ceiling fan and popped. XD

So apparently there's going to be a Sonic, collaborative, age 14+ board game, which is perfect for me.

Sonic Superstars (Avatar, Slow, Water, Extra, Vision, Ivy and Bullet) and Aosth (Life, Invisibility, Invincibility and Immortality) both had each Chaos Emerald giving a different power. Other than them is there any other media that gives each individual Chaos Emerald their own powers? The nearest that I can think of is Sonic The Comic that gives Special powers to the Green Chaos Emerald (Master Emerald) and Grey Chaos Emerald (Control Emerald) only.

I was suggesting it based on the indignity, but fine. I'm sorry for giving the wrong impression. I'll make sure to not write comments like that again.

Regardless, guy can't catch a break, but it still it shows the general problem that Superstars has, but it's likely the staff left it vague because of Grandfather Clause. Yuji Naka had a similar idea in Balan.

[up] TL;DR: People on Twitter are blaming Flynn for how badly presented Superstars is, despite not being the writer of the game, after he said that the Chaos Emeralds powers are exclusive to the North Islands.

Twitter is full of bad takes, and it isn't a good place to engage with fandoms at all. Don't give them too much of your brainpower.

Agree. I wouldn't trust Twitter with takes on the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. It gets way too chaotic over there.

Anyway, has anyone played these dice games before? I'm surprised that there's a new Sonic the Hedgehog dice game coming out and I'm wondering how that will play out.

I've played games like Mouse Trap, Clue, and Trouble when I was younger. So maybe it'll be something that Mouse Trap? Haven't seen any images other than the boxart.

Oh no, nonono. Modern board games blow that old gimmicky kids' stuff out of the water. Some of my favorites are the board games based off of Bloodborne and Horizon Zero Dawn which are more akin to long story driven adventures.

Sonic Roll doesn't even look like it has a big board. Definitely sounds like there's an emphasis on dice.

I'm reminded of the Cuphead game that came out a couple years ago and looked pretty cool.

Though, the first thing I think of when I think "how would a good Sonic board game work" is something like Yomi or Combo Fighter (even though those are both card games), where the game is centered around seizing momentum with big, rapid combo plays.

Looking at what we can see of the game it looks kind of... Eurogame-y? Which... I'm hoping I'm wrong, because that's definitely a... choice... for a Sonic game.

Sonic eurogame wouldn't be entirely out of left field. It doesn't look like it has the tons of plastic components usually attributed to my beloved ameritrash.

More Sonic 2 dev history in this video

Today we learn even more about the original time travel plot for Sonic 2.

I mean, he's right, it can't be. THE END is stuck in Cyberspace during the time of Superstars.

Starting the Horizons DLC. Let's see how hard it is.

Bet.

Also, am I seeing it wrong or is Horizons Ouranos Island basically the complete Kronos Island from beta?

Been going through Trip's campaign in Superstars and its clarified something about the game for me. While the former definitely feels cheap and unfair at points, it might also be the mode that best exemplifies that the game's level design and bosses aren't bad (well barring the final Eggman and Nack fights), but they do feel closer to those seen in traditional platformers as opposed to those typically seen in the franchise.

It's very Sonic CD like in that respect, where to a degree enjoyment of it will be affected by one's preference for the Sonic 3&K/Mania style of stage layout. Even the bosses I wouldn't say are impossible or even wholly difficult, just ones you can expect to defeat like traditional Sonic bosses.

Yeah, I ended up going through the DLC without doing the new versions of the minibosses much.

Even fully leveled and upgraded, doing Tower+ took like twenty minutes of grinding the boss down and by that point I just lost interest and walked away.

Yeah... Right at the start of the DLC I stumbled in to Caterpillar+ with Amy. Noped my way back out of there and didn't bother.

And to think, even without the fishing minigame, because of how busted powerful the starfall is, you don't actually need to fight any of the Guardians+ or even do the Cyberspace stages. But I'm going to anyway as Sonic at some point.

I legit forgot there were new Cyberspace stages until after I was done with the DLC.

Found a video talking about how Sonic 2 was initially going to have time travel, and how certain zones would be a version of a different zone, but further in the past or future.
