His legs did this sort of swirly thing:
Of course, in game the animation is much faster, which gives it kind of a cool look.

I never liked 3 anyway. 2nd stage water level = fail. I hated Sonic water levels as a kid.

Sonic 3 is pretty short, but when combined with Sonic and Knuckles, it's incredible.

But Sonic 3 & Knuckles had hyper emeralds. And Michael Jackson (although some of his tracks got removed from S3K).DaMadFiddler wrote:But Sonic 2 still had a better art style. And Casino Night Zone.Eviltaco64X wrote:Sonic 3 is pretty short, but when combined with Sonic and Knuckles, it's incredible.

Re: Next Sonic Game to Be 2D HD
NOOOOOOOO, the mine cart levels were some of my favorite ones... in Donkey Kong.
Seriously though, they could just add those levels as optional missions that doesn't unlock anything; completely optional.

They'll still be there in the iPhone version to show off the motion sensor or something.

Re: Next Sonic Game to Be 2D HD
While I don't expect this to top S3&K (one of my favorites game of all time), I do have hopes that it will be quite good.
Also, Sonic 2's Mystic Cave Zone music track ftw.

Re: Next Sonic Game to Be 2D HD
How to make a Sonic game
By SEGA and Sonic Team
It's very simple. First you start out by developing a game engine for the title to run on. Then you take the ordinary physics of the engine and enhance them... Sega style! Once you realize that these "enhancements" may have been a bad idea, you'll find that the only thing you can really do before the nearby deadline is develop a story that the kids will love. As for how the story goes, that's up to you. What's not up to you is the inclusion of multiple cliches and new, edgy characters! The last thing that you'll want to do before you ship off your beautiful title is have someone arrange a generic rock soundtrack. After all, the kids of today idolize hip and fresh bands such as Limp Bizkit and Creed! Now it is time for you to release your game to the public. Spread your dodo-ass wings and fly (and then outsource development of newer games to other companies)!

Re: Next Sonic Game to Be 2D HD
Correction: Given that I have a 9 and 13 year old couzin who have been playing Sonic since Sonic Adventure 2, they are even sick of the storyline not offering anything new, even children can tell that the ending of Sonic Adventure 2 battle, Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Heroes, only difference is Sonic ends up sharing the power of the choas emerald with more idiots.
You'd think that would drain Super Sonic alittle.
I haven't played Heroes but the ending of Sonic was always dissapointing post Adventure 2 with the exception of Sonic 06 which maybe a game in it's alpha stage but the story was the best Sonic has yet to offer as long as you don't have a problem with a hedgehog and princess sharing a kiss, that said I never really considered Sonic to be an animal or anything like that in the 1st place so I didn't really have a problem with it.

Re: Next Sonic Game to Be 2D HD
I'll be honest, I am just going to pirate this game and will feel good in doing so. Sega does not deserve any money from me for just making "Sonic Remix." If I wanted that I could play one of the MANY games on the internet that are built of the same sprites, tile sets, and level design. Yes Sega is pretending to try, but it's all just lazy. Hell even the name "Sonic 4" is such a joke. It's not sonic 4, sonic 4 would have come out nearly 15 years ago. Honestly Sonic HD would be a more appropriate title (though not for the wii version) but then they would fail to capture the audience who grew up with sonic 1 - s3&k and make money off their nostalgia.

Re: Next Sonic Game to Be 2D HD
I appreciate the honesty I won't invest on this game either, it should have been a full blown proper game I don't believe in buying DLC, I prefer hard copies.
However Contra 4 came out after a decade or something as well and it wasn't even designed in-house.
I bet one day we'll even get Sonic Adventure 3.

Re: Next Sonic Game to Be 2D HD
Hello There..
I know I am in the minority but 2D sonic games feel outdated to me, 3D is much better just because Sonic Team can't get post Dreamcast Sonic games up to the mark doesn't make 2D better.
