Was Shadow created using a little bit of Maria's DNA? Or does he not have that in common with Mewtwo and Amber?

Wasn't Gerald's purpose to find a solution that could work in Maria?

It was. But it didn't involve using her DNA. We don’t usually make vaccines by using people's DNA after all.

Anyone else really disappointed we didn’t get Trip as a mid game boss?

Given the way she plays like a hybrid of Amy and Knuckles, with the right arena, Trip could have been one hell of an encounter.

I don't think it'd be in character for her, as she's presented as a klutzy, reluctant ally of Eggman and Fang, and shows herself to be happy to be friends with Amy. Unless she was forced to fight in some way, like being mind controlled or something.

I think it's in character enough for her to have at least tried once before realizing she should change sides.

They kind of missed an opportunity not giving us one Dual Boss with Trip and Fang. For all that she was advertised as Fang's new sidekick, she really doesn't do anything just cameo in the occasional stage transition before the New Game Plus.

It was a plot twist.

But a pretty obvious one, no one was convinced.

And the Triple Threat short did do that...advertise the "twist".

So, can we can we call the final bosses of Superstars (especially THAT mech) Sonic’s Bed of Chaos or is Sonic’s Copy X more appropiate?

Either way, the point is to rip em apart for over use of instant kills (though to be fair, the arena is what takes the bulk of the points off both said encounters with Bed of Chaos and Copy X).

It wasn't surprising that Trip wound up turncoating. What was surprising was that she did basically nothing for Team Evil prior to it. She wasn't presented as a villain so much as Fang's intern.

There's a lot about Trip that's left to implication. Like the way she stops being clumsy and self-sabotaging after she changes sides, implying that her klutziness was a product of the work environment Eggman and Fang cultivate rather than a natural characteristic of hers.

Or the way all it takes is Amy being nice to her to get her to change sides, suggesting she has no real investment in this conflict one way or another and was just along for the ride. There's nothing she, personally is trying to accomplish by being on Team Evil. Fang and Eggman simply found her first and decided to hire her for some reason.

But her actual story is pretty barebones. Something something dragon crystal?

Her being Fang's new sidekick was not a plot twist. It's in all the advertisements.

Sonic Channel is already letting us vote for March 2024's duo!

March will be Silver and our choice between Shadow, Vector, Mephiles, and Sonicman (IYKYK).

Mephiles and Sonicman were neck to neck, but with 2 days and 14 hours left, Mephiles is already in the lead!

I hate all of you, how are you letting Mephioes win?

"But Tomo, he hasnt had a cool artwork!" He just got a playable appeareance in Forces

I really wanted Sonic Man to win.

But I must admit, I'm really curious about how they'd bring Mephiles back from the... uh... not-existing-in-time.

[up][up][up] I mean, Crisis City (alongside Silver and Blaze) managed to return in Generations even though they suffered a Ret-Gone, so if they can come back, Mephiles surely can, somehow.

[up][up] To elaborate: Sonic-Man is a human guy who styles himself after Sonic in the 2006 game. I think he's part of a few racing challenges.

That's Sonic Man. Quite possibly one of the few good things to come out of... THAT game.
