Man, it sucks that Dream Team is so exclusive because it's looking fantastic.
The music deserves a mention. Imo, the various Scrambled Shores theme are way better throwbacks to that "SEGA in the 90's" pop/funk sound than anything in Superstars, which was actually trying to capture that. (Though admittedly, what it reminds me most isn't SEGA exactly, but stuff like Jazz Jackrabbit and Megaman).
Also, Scrambled Shores is maybe my favorite Sonic first level design in a while. A beach level crossed with a bounce house carnival? Super creative.

You're spot on about the bounce house aspect. I'm watching an early LP of the game (because I'm a filthy PC peasant), and it turns out the Giant Enemy Crab boss is also an inflatable, like Mr. Patch.

Forces wasn't that long ago.
She just sounds..."not the same" here.

I would never expect Sonic characters to have so much personality just by...standing there.

They all got new models and it's grand.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Dream Team feels surprisingly good to play for a mobile game. Just use an actual controller if you have one that can connect to an apple device.
My musician pageI can't blame people for memory-holing Rise of Lyric but it should still be casting a long shadow over the franchise reminding us Sega can still publish something as bad as 2006 at any time.
You are not alone.When you release a game as bad as 2006 (And then another one as bad awhile later) you deserve to have that hanging over your head TBH. That's on Sega.
There where kids that spent their birthday money on that game. There where kids who played it as their first PS 3 generation game. Remember the cruelty inflicted on their innocence!
And "More good games than bad" isn't something that's anywhere near a gold standard.
It's important to celebrate the good and condemn the bad both, and right now though it looks like we have a winner. I can't wait to play Dream Team when I eventually get my hands on it after Apple releases it from ther clutches.
You are not alone.On the flipside, the horrible licensed game of Rise of Lyric gave us one of the best bits of Sonic non-gaming media, so silver linings and all that.
I just don't see how it helps anything to hold on to negativity and remind people of it frequently when it's not relevant, just because it happened before.
That'd be like (Fire Emblem Three Houses spoilers for VW/SS): Dimitri's forces attacking Claude's troops while pursuing a retreating Edelgard, specifically over Duscur and nothing else.

Once again, a Hololive talent has contributed a comic
to the Fast Friends Forever campaign.
This time, it's from the Sonic ambassador herself, Korone!
