Titanic Monarch seems rough too for 2D "Eggmanland".

Nah, that place was a cakewalk compared with Eggmanland. I remember playing it and, while I died a lot, it wasn't that difficult.

According to Variety Jim Carrey is reprising as the mad doctor for film 3.

Good! I don't want to see Dr. EggmanRobotnik disappear. I just had a hard time imagining them replacing him with another actor, and he's an integral part of the Sonic series.

If they want to continue the film series past three (and it would have to be a total reception and sales disaster for them not to) they'll have to.

I do find myself struggling to come up with a good replacement for him that isn't just Stone, or Robotnik Mind Uploading himself into Metal Sonic, though.

Maybe if Black Doom survives the film, which seems a bit unlikely.

Assuming that Sonic X Shadow Generations doesn't just have Shadow fight the Time Eater again, perhaps Shadow's story could take a more different route and have him fight Eggman Nega as the final boss (since Shadow was in Sonic Rivals 2 and Eggman Nega was the Big Bad of that game), and because I think that Black Doom isn't actually going to be the main antagonist of Shadow's story despite Doom's Eye appearing in the game's trailer.

As cool as that is, it is highly unlikely because of Sega of Japan indifferent to the game. Sonic Rivals has never been acknowledged by Sonic Channel (not even in Silver or Nega entries) presumably because it was never released in Japan to begin with.

Which is odd, as Rivals is the only game that deals with Nega's background of him being Eggy's descendant.

Unleashed status.

I finished Eggmanland. The Egg Dragoon was easy by comparison, much easier to the point I got an S on the first try. Dark Gaia however is frustrating and not fun at all.

I'm confused in what exactly Unleashed story is about. The story concludes with Pickle saying that there should be a balance between darkness and light... but this aesop comes out of nowhere.

I would argue that this game needed Black Knight's theme much more, as Chip was essentially living on borrow time and loved to spend what little he had with Sonic discovering the world. "Every word/life has its end, so let's enjoy it". And the fact Unleashed feels so clueless is so weird coming from a professional writer who worked on Sonic X.

I just don't see motiffs or anything in this game compared with the previous (sans Heroes).

The main themes of the game are exploring the world and the value of life (not in an environmental way), I think.

I'm super here for Doom, having any kind of edge these days is downright refreshing. Shadow the Hedgehog levels? Heroes? Even 06 material? There's good stuff you can draw from all that.

Yeah, thankfully Sonic Frontiers has a bit of an edge that's been missing from this franchise for years.

I've noticed alot of entries claiming the manual for Sonic Drift says Sonic is reluctantly driving a car, despite hating cars, because he wants to make the comptetion.

I and others have checked the manual for Sonic Drift and its sequel, with there being no line like this in them, with Sonic simply saying he's driving instead of running and acting proud of his car.

Sonic: (translated from the Japanese manual) Hey guys, I'm Sonic. Today, I'm going to compete with my car instead of my legs. Well, whether I run with my legs or my car, I'll probably win!

So if anyone sees any more entries claiming Sonic is using a car in Drift as a handicap, make sure to remove it.

Some translations are just weird like that. Actually when DID this headcanon about Sonic not liking cars first show up?

I'd blame Sonic Shorts, probably.

In any case, the Twitter Takeovers actually fielded that and the response was basically "I love cars and driving them is cool."

I kinda figured Sonic would like cars. If they're sleek and colourful looking I think he'd be all about that even if he easily outruns them.

I mean unless he gets Tails to make one super fast.

I know Shadow had a bike in the Archie-verse that he liked a lot.

I figure Sonic enjoys cars for the same reason we enjoy stuff like Bumper cars.

Besides it is a car race. That does remind me, I removed a Continuity Snarl entry on Tails Tube claiming Sonic liking cars was contradicting Drift.

On a similar note, whilst I can understand people being a little annoyed about Sonic using cars in Team Sonic Racing, I feel with All Stars, people forget its not just Sonic characters racing.

That's my b, genuinely didn't know about that actually not being in the game's manual. But it was posted on the page and I wanted to crosswick Tails Tube that badly sooooo...

Sonic usually doesn't like racing, as confirmed in Sonic R.

But the reason cited is actually because he's so fast that he'll win easily.

So any competition where there's actually, well, competition, is going to be far more appealing to him.

Anyone but me just not like any of the special stages in Sonic games? Maybe it's my visual impairment, but I can't really get any of them down right. Basically I've never gotten a super form legitimately, and feel like pretty much all of them feel clunky and too different in gameplay. 3 and Knuckles Blue Spheres feels downright uncontrollable.
