Lol this game looks great... teaming two of one of the most popular mascots...

That's why you let AM2 develop it. They enough experience in arcade games, so having their hands in this would allow players to have short bursts of fun minigames without the annoying Mario Party feel. Too bad that'll never happen I think it'll end up being developed by Artoon or something.

So hopefully it's more like

instead of

No...no way in hell would it be like Shadow the Hedgehog. Even I'll admit that would ruin the game. I hope that the six characters that are confirmed to be in the game aren't the only characters. You'd think they would at least put Peach in there since she's been apart of Mario games longer than Yoshi.

Now I'm also curious to see if Koji Kondo will be involved with the music.

Actually they have a lot of versatility with their characters. I can easily see each Mario character having a rival in the Sonic universe.

Sonic really needs to shave off much of his cast. Way too much impractical clutter to sell itself well to other game possibilites like this one. For something like this all he would need are the folks from SA1 (maybe 2 as well), and nothing more.

Mario - Sonic
Luigi - Tails
Peach - Amy
Yoshi - Knuckles
Bowser - Eggnuts
Wario - Shadow
Donkey Kong - Big
Hell, even Daisy - Rouge.


I can't picture anyone else having much use.

No, Rouge vs. Birdo.

Tranny vs. Tranny.

Have you ever played Decathlete / Athlete Kings? That thing had absolutely zero gameplay value, all you had to do was buttonmash to win. The game had nothing of value other then relatively good graphics.

But that's what makes Olympic games good! You build up the muscles in your button tapping fingers and get ready to take on the world in a realistic fashion.

Man, I'd rather not see Big in the game. You want to talk about useless, let's just say I really wasn't fond of the fishing levels. Omega or Gamma would probably work better, possibly Silver or Mecha Sonic, but that's still a good list.

You know if Wario's in there, then Waluigi is definitely going to be in there with him. As far as Mario sports games go, ever since Tennis for the N64 those two have been inseparable.

I'm sorry, I'm not following. :confused:

Waluigi is a completely useless character, not even made by the same guy that created Wario. As a result, he's never appeared in any of Wario's games, and as long as he keeps up that habit, I'm happy.

Logically, he'd have no place in this game at all if they're following the "every character has a rival" idea. Unfortunately, if Sega dominates production and ends up filling the game with their legions of useless characters, then Nintendo would have to follow suit and then we'd see tons of filler characters like Dry Bones, Hammer Brother, R.O.B., Birdo, Boo and Mr. Game and Watch.

The Mario enemies shouldn't at all be treated like main characters.

MARIO IS FASTER THAN SONIC.

TRYING TO WALK IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHILE DRUNK IS AN OLYMPIC SPORT IN THE DS VERSION.

Why do they all look like they're made of metal.

They're all robots. Just like the real Olympics!

Eggman in the 100m dash. I roffled a bit.

I'm more astounded by the fact that Bowser is in the 100m dash. At least Eggman has legs to run with.

Bowser should pwn everything.

But we all know that Bowser can run. He's been in sports games and proved that he could actually move.

Eggman, on the other hand, he's always been in some sort of robotic machine. :|

Robotnik was always running faster than Sonic in the old Mega Drive games! You'd beat him and ZOOM he'd be off to his next giant robot!

But they were always in machines. He drove off in them as they were about to blow themselves to kingdom come. I've never actually seen Eggman move on his own two feet before.

Never in my life.

I know he can move, but whether he can actually run is another matter entirely. Wasn't he always classified as a "Power" character and automatically became the slowest out of most of the others by default? I mean, all I ever see him doing in the sports games is scuttling and/or wobbling slowly towards something.

After you defeat his Final Zone giant crushing machine in the first Sonic, he runs to his Egg-mobile thingy, and there's no way you can catch up to him. Same with Sonic 2, after you beat Silver Sonic, Robotnik runs off to his huge Gundam Tonka Truck robot. He's the fastest thing alive!

If anyone played Sonic Adventure 2 and went to the Chao Lobby, you'd see Eggman running around on his own two feet. Better yet, he was in Virtua Striker 2002 and he was the biggest guy in the game. Had to make up for all those small chao in there.

Nope, Sonic's just letting Mario think that until Sonic puts on his true speed. :D

I really wish I could use my Power Pad on this game because that's what it's shaping to be like. Anyone remember the Power Pad? Fun stuff.

They better make it possible to make a GC Dance Pad compatible with this game... That would be interesting to use in place of the Power Pad.

Sonic vs Mario featuring Teletubbies!

Those are Panda Power Rangers. Get it right, dickhead. :mad:
