Finally deciding to go back to Superstars to finish up Trip's story, sure that with the benefit of time passing the stuff that bugged me about the game's design choices probably wouldn't seem so bad, and then immediately discover that Trip has levels that literally can't be beaten without specific Emerald powers.
Sigh. Guess I'm going back to replay a bunch of the Story Mode first.
Incidentally, I'd love to see Eggrobo more in the Modern games. I guess it's been replaced by the Eggpawns and such, but there's something to be said about a mook that's smart enough to fulfill Eggman's duties and be minibosses for certain stages.
Or at least the Hard Boiled Heavies making a reappearance, what with them basically being even smarter and more dangerous Eggrobos.

Some random news I came across,
basically the old Sonic OVA movie has a very low chance getting a new rerelease outside Japan despite Discotek Media looking to do one and Sega being on board with the idea because Sega lost the paperwork that would let them know exactly who and what royalties they would have to pay to people like voice actors and soundtrack composers.
It's not unusual at all for companies to misplace these sorts of things, especially after the major restructuring Sega went through in the 2000s, but it is funny to hear since Sega is already infamous for this type of thing.
guess the OVA is stuck in Keep Circulating the Tapes hell then.
At least there is no reason to fear litigation that would say, decimate an entire cast of a spinoff medium.
I'm lucky I have the OVA on VHS and DVD still...And it's on youtube too.
There was a funny Bumblekast question about Eggman beating Sonic in a chili dog eating contest

Neither. There's a very good reason I described said character as "Final Fantasy like". Have you ever seen this quote thrown around by Mario fans?
"I am matter... I am antimatter... I can see your past... I can see your future... I consume time... And I will consume you!"
No rain could douse the flames that burn within me!Okay, I'm guessing it's a villain from Super Mario RPG?
Looping back to Sonic, I wonder if we'll ever get another Sonic RPG. Chronicles was forever ago, and I'd hate for the Penders bullshit to have caused Sonic Team to just lose all interest in RPGs for the franchise forever.

If I’m not mistaken, that power level and “Final Fantasy-like” can easily describe Culex.

Sonic as a human called Eric. Robotnik trapped Sonic in a brainwashing machine to try to make him less of threat.
I mean, I was able to get there fine by clicking it how it was, but ok.
