TIL the Mario & Sonic series got killed because the International Olympic Commitee wanted to focus on eSports and NFTs.

…I honestly don't know who I should be more mad at, the idiot who invented NFTs or the IOC for being idiots.

I'd be less offended if we had a proper crossover a la Mario Paper Jam but with Sonic.

[up]as in an rpg instead of a platformer? That would get around the issue of how differently their platformers play.

I think FOFD means an actual crossover game where both worlds collide, instead of just plotless Olympics games.

The games had story modes. How can anyone forget that time Bowser and Eggman caused reverse Global Warming? Or that time they made fog in London. Or that time they turned everyone retro.

Or the time Eggman Nega told everyone nobody in the cast won any of the games.

Tbf, I could've sworn we already knew the Olympic license dried up years ago. They didn't do one for the last Winter games either.

I never actually finished Sonic Frontiers. So I think I'm finally gonna get around to it.

Just to be clear, I should do Ouranos Island as normal first, then go back for the Last Frontier DLC?

Also... I guess I don't really understand what Tails, Knuckles, and Amy did to save Sonic from the cyber corruption. They just held hands around him and... I guess they blinked back into cyber space so he could be retrieved? Somehow?

And hey, technically, "the voice" didn't lie. Sonic's friends WERE saved from cyber space.

They were placed back into realspace, but willingly took Sonic's cyber corruption onto themselves, bringing them back into Cyberspace again... but ensuring Sonic lives long enough to finish the journey.

I personally hated the DLC for its type of design, making players go around the island and finding things that you can only do if you're playing as the correct character, its extreme difficulty, and the imbalance of characters and abilities (such as Tails suddenly being able to bypass all the challenges once you get his plane ability).

I'd recommend trying it only after you've beaten the game.

Just the novelty of playing as someone besides Sonic in a 3D game again was enough for me. Not to mention that unlike the Adventures, no one has any crazily different playstyles or goals.

But yes, finish the base game first.

What did you think? Lot's of people dislike the third season, but I thought it was quite good, though do get people's criticisms. I also liked the ending.

[up]x4 Funny we're talking about DLC because someone asked how we would feel if Shadow Generations had a similar approach? I wouldn't mind it, honestly.

And on a different note, how are we feeling about the voice cast? Because a thread I found on Twitter got me thinking about it.

Ultimately, I like who we got, but I do agree that problematic ones like Strassman, Pollack, and Wingert should probably be let go and some of the OP's picks are honestly pretty great. (Clancy Brown as Eggman? Sarah-Nicole Robles for Tangle? Erica Mendez for Surge? Heck yeah!)

Character DLC for Shadow Generations? Absolutely, yes, I would love to play as Rouge and Omega. (I know Rouge is in Sonic Dream Team, but I don't have a platform that can use Apple Arcade)

So, if the Mario and Sonic Olympic games are not a thing anymore, is there any other way that they can create games with both Sonic and Mario in it?

Add Sonic & his allies as part of the DLC Roster for Mario Kart X.

Imagine having a Eurobeat party for the Sonic cast and whenever a Leslie Parrish song comes on Shadow gets more disgruntled than normal.

(For context, Leslie's songs are things like "Killing my Love", "Remember Me", and "Save Me". Apply that in context to his backstory, and you can really imagine him giving the DJ the stinkeye when Leslie's songs kick in.)

Funny you mention it. Were you the one who made a playlist of suitable Eurobeat songs for Sonic characters?

[up] x9 Well I'm not really a critic, I just got curious on how the story unfolds.

I do like to think that the unseen threat at the end of the series was the traditional Death Egg launching.
