LMAO, that's not the Sonic theme! That's Sonic Adventure 2 1st part of the 1st level, City Escape, theme. But yeah the Sonic theme ain't any better.

You got it right this time, that's indeed SA2 Robotnick theme.

Not only is missing in the process as it's missing on the game as well!
I've also replayed SA1 recently after a few years of not having touched it. Back then I was new to the 3D games (skipped the PSX/32bit gen) and I was amazed with the game, fast forward a few years to 2006 and playing it again with 3D games experience shows me that the game was very poorly done... and I'm not even mentioning SA2 and stuff like Shadow.
Just plain sad. (mopfest here we GO!)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Wow... o_o those last 2 posts were so true and that's not even going into stuff like what nationality knuckles theme music is supposed to be. I think you just killed the thread between you or at least added fuel to a flamewar...

FELIPE NO

Haha, that reminded me that Knuckles is the original "gangsta" of the new-gen sonic crew. His levels were based on "treasure hunting", and he had RAP AS BACKGROUND MUSIC. Shadow is just the emo angst person with guns and warthogs, and the quirkly named Silver is a wigger.

By the way, notice all the different colored hedgehogs? The next sonic characters may be:
- a rabid red hedgehog with mental disorder, called Spaz the Hedgehog (blatantly stolen from the Jazz Jackrabbit series, since people playing Sonic games are way too young to remember that game)
- a hippie light green hedgehog
- a purple sonic recolor named "Shitglove"

And by 2009, we will have SONIC RANGERS!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

lol I seriously hope you're wrong Sonic already gets mocked for it's quite obvious link with dbz with the 7 gems and turning gold... or was it 14 going by S&K? I bet even sega doesn't know any more

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The delightful Sonic Underground cartoon already had two of those pretty much covered!



There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow, cant believe I missed that out. (Actually I can, and I'm glad I didnt remember that show.)


Someone needs to do some FANART!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Mopefest thread again *sigh*

I think I'll put the hedge on the backburner and enjoy OUR THE Nintendo for a while.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

GO GO POWER RANGERS!!

I was speaking idiomatically.

First, I think that the old Sonic was way better than any new Sonic that has ever come out could dream of being. The good things if any about the new sonic are the story lines and they manage to somewhat capture the sense of speed quite well.

Not only the storyline but Sonic games continue to have really good music...even if the games turn out to not be that great. (Ex: Shadow the Hedgehog).

Sonic Heroes. No.
Shadow the Hedgehog. No.
Sonic Rush. No.
Sonic the Hedgehog. Time Travel woes = noes.

Sonic Heroes. Not so much.
Shadow the Hedgehog, I don't remember enough from that game.
Sonic Rush. Not really, I wanted to go faster all the time. The boost mode speed wasn't fast enough after playing Sa2.
Sonic Next-Gen. Horrible. I remember when somebody said that they probably added Mach-Speed areas because the normal stages were so slow. I'll believe that.

The Mach Speed areas weren't so great with the sense of speed.

The only real sense of speed you got from Sonic Next-Gen was going through automatic sequences such as loops or running down a building. Never by playing the actual game though.

Hey, I used to tape that shit! It was on like, what, 6:30am? What kind of kids time is that?

Sega, more new characters doesn't mean better game.
