Sonic The Hedgehog Games

MY FAVORITE GAME ON THE LIST IS SONIC AND KNUCKLES 3. BUT THE GAME I LIKE MOST IS MEAN BEAN MACHINE. I HATE IT. BUT WHEN I WAS LITTLE MY MOM WAS REALLY GOOD AT IT AND WHEN SHE BEAT IT REALLY EASY I THOUGHT SHE WAS SO COOL

Number B. What difficulty did your mom beat Mean Bean Machine on?

You joke, but Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine is harder than Dark Souls.

It's really not that hard. The thing is that the default colors is 5 instead of the 4 colors in the later Puyo series, so trying to come up with quick chains is a little more challenging. That and there's no rebound for garbage like in later games.

I've beaten the game on the hardest difficulty, and it makes the normal difficulty look like goo-goo-gaa-gaa baby difficulty. The puyo drop speed is set way faster, to where in later stages it feels like they appear instantly on the screen. Incidentally, at the end you only get a "Thank You For Playing", so it's not even worth playing it at that high difficulty.

I don't remember but the Robotnik boss was dropping insanely fast. BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP YEEHAH

Here's a question, why does Eggman not have his own game where you play as him?

They tried with the Eggman Origin MMO, but unfortunately something went so wrong.

MJSTUDIO, right?

Because the only thing they can really do with him is have the player pilot one of his mechs like in Sonic Adventure 2. [And that part of the game had very mixed reception]

Also because the setting lacks other villains or characters that Eggman could fight. Archie Sonic did, for what's worth, but nu-Sonic? Nope, outside of the villain of the week who's killed at the end of the game.

You do realize this is a game series infamous for introducing a new guy every other game, yeah? All they gotta do is introduce some new guy that beats sonic or some shit and eggman's like "what the fuck asshole that's MY job" and boom you got an excuse for a new guy eggman has to deal with himself. Bonus points if they'e trying to destroy the world because he can't take over shit if there is no shit.

I do, but that would mean Team Sonic does something else for a spin besides a racing game, which I dunno if it will happen anytime soon, especially for something risky as having the bad guy as the protagonist (although not as risky as having one of Sonic's friends as the star instead). Maybe after next mainline game*? The static designs for the critters hurts bad guys' designs somewhat, unless you go for aliens like the (overused) Sinister Six.

*I played Frontiers and it wasn't worth all of the hype. What's worse is that this was considered one of the best 3D Sonic, and it's true.

I would imagine it being like Factorio where you’re robotnik or a lackey setting up shop on a multi-zone island and have to capture critters while building bases, customize death machines, and deploy badniks along with dealing with sonic or other furry characters akin to what @Better Fuck Chuck said but SEGA would be too ballsy to do that and the best we’ll get would be a mean bean reference in the next Puyo Puyo game.

I love the serious direction with the story, Roger's deeper voice and new Sonic moves. But oh my god dialogues fucking suck. I hate Ian Flynn so much.

Music was good. Numetal in Sonic has been out of place since Forces and is edgy as shit, but I dig it.

You know, the more I think about it, the more a Mean Bean Machine 2 could have been possible.

Reskinning Puyo 2 wouldn't have been that difficult to do. Remove the main character (Arle) like they did in the first game, re-add the first game characters and then replace the new Puyo 2 characters with more characters from the AOSTH show, like Mama Robotnik or Pseudo Sonic or that Robot from "Sonic's Song" that hates music and destroys it. As far as the voice samples, just mute everyone and re-use the 1P/2P yippes and yehaws from the first game. The cherry ontop would be replacing the music instruments with those awesome drums the 1st game had, and maybe doing an original composition or two.

Puyo 2 came out in December 1994 on the Mega Drive, so chances are a AOSTH reskin would have bee released in 1995 in the US. The last AOSTH episode was released in November 1993 but i know for a fact they were still doing re-runs in the late 90's (96/97), so it's not like the show would have lost it's relevance by then.

Because they very reasonably don't think mixing shit up is worth the risk.

I didn't like the gameplay in the overworld all too much, but the serious vibes, new moves, and boss fights were really good. I kinda cringed a bit when Tails unironically dropped "I've been wildly inconsistent, but I SWEAR I'll be better next game, trust me!" but him actually being playable again for a bit was cool.

The story isn't that good anyway, and it gives more questions that they might not answer anytime soon... Or answer them with even more aliens and ancient civilizations!

Unfortunately no-one remembers the first two shows except the most rabid fans.

That was terrible. I "liked" how Amy's dialogue was to show how bland she is without fixation on Sonci and how she needs time for herself (top kek, even in the lifeless IDW comic she still wants Sonic), Knuckles' plot was to retroactively justify that he totally has leadership qualities bro, he didn't sent an army to die against Infinite, and Tails is references galore and growing up (for a character that will never grow up).
If the next main game doesn't have these characters acting on these changes, it will be even worse/sadder.

We’ve been indulging in this masochistic ritual for years now, but it's time, I think, to abandon the fantasy. Every attempt to flesh Tails out ends in farce. His only real skill is being near Sonic while looking vaguely panicked. That’s it. That’s the guy.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

A shitpost gone too far.

Gives me Jimmy Olsen vibes then. Jimmy was meant to be a viewpoint for all the little boys wanting to hang with their fave guy Superman. Tails is obviously meant to fulfill “Player 2” since he’s from vidya but character-wise? Yeah that tracks hard.

And growing him up separates him from that point too much… but he can’t quite standout in the sea of new characters otherwise in his base. Having him be the self-aware guy of the adventures’ insanity, or still inquiring in fascination on (X adventure/game/etc) even when he got used to the overall madness of the setting like Philip J Fry from Futurama could work, but, eeeeh….

He had development, but after he got downgraded from playable guy to "exposition guy that screams sonic help me at a guy he canonically beat a stronger version of" years back it got very sucky. Somehow worse so after flynn took over and removal of character moments in the generations port.

Yes I know this instance implies sonic knuckles and tails are all fighting chaos at once, but SA2 exists too and carries over the development between games. This continues onwards until 06 happens.


Also the plane should be gray there lmao

memes have kept it fresh enough that most people know about it somewhat.
Oh god that just reminds me that the ruby spears megaman show recently had a revival memory wise due to japanese people shitposting about it after it got released on dvd over there or something like that.

Like it too, much better than the generic symphonic/jazz Nintendo uses for everything nowadays, but not as memorable as Crush 40
