I take that you never played as Amy in Sonic Advance? She was pain to play as since she would struggle to go uphill and since she doesn't have spin dash meant that she had to take a different route from the boys.

OK it's useful for getting up hills, but I mean it isn't as useful as on sonic 2 and 3, where you could reach ludicrous speeds by rolling down hills. I'm more thinking about the actual rolling then the spin charge, it never seems to be worth it to press down while running. Hell, on SA2 and Sonic 4 I'd swear you decellerate rolling down hills.

There is nothing wrong with the boosting mechanic, it isn't like Unleashed where holding the boost button made the game auto run. In Generation you are punished if you continually hold the boost button also it seem to drain faster than it did in Unleashed and Sonic picks up less rings while boosting.

Eehhh, even on generations, if you do well enough you'll never run out of boost gage. I think the mechanic would be better if even on perfect run throughs you have to choose the best time to boost, as opposed to the best time being anytime except precision platform hopping.

I'm not saying it's completely game breaking, I just think it could be improved.

Edit: Also, it the level designs weren't built as much around boost the game would be more open to having player characters other then Sonic or chars with his exact abilities. I want to play as Tails and Knuckles again damn it.

I think you gain speed when rolling downhill on Radical Highway and Green forest. I can't remember any others.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWs8_...feature=relmfu Metal Sonic playable in episodes 1 and 2 if you get both episodes on the same console, and with 4 extra levels! Just a few things:

1. I wonder if playing as Metal Sonic on episode 1 changes the physics in anyway?

2. So if it's playable in episode 2, I guess you can't fight itself? Or maybe you fight Sonic and Tails? Nah, I can't think of a workaround, let Sega do that.

3. The trailer shows Metal Sonic being revived in Stardust Speedway in the Bad Future, so this would prove that the true Sonic CD ending is the bad ending?

[Haunter227]

Wow, that actually looks pretty cool.

I wonder if there's a new story and abilities, or whether it's just a paint job over Sonic's character model.

1. I wonder if playing as Metal Sonic on episode 1 changes the physics in anyway?

Well it would be stupid if it didn't.

2. So if it's playable in episode 2, I guess you can't fight itself? Or maybe you fight Sonic and Tails? Nah, I can't think of a workaround, let Sega do that.

If you have played Sonic 3 and Knuckles and Sonic Adventure you would see how Dimps will handle it.

3. The trailer shows Metal Sonic being revived in Stardust Speedway in the Bad Future, so this would prove that the true Sonic CD ending is the bad ending?

No it just proves that was the stage where you fought Metal Sonic regardless if you had the good or bad future.

All CD boss stage was done in Bad future.

[Rezzo]

All CD boss stage was done in Bad future.

If you broke the time capsules in Act I and II of each stage (which can only be done in the past) you unlock a good future for the end of that stage. Mighty Arceus is right in what he's saying because Little Planet wasn't rescued in the bad future ending, making it a continuation error.

sweet, metal sonic. that makes me want it even more

[lolipiece]

Oh god, Metal Sonic's the new Knuckles.

Could this be a sign of Metal Knuckles' revival!? ....I wish.

[Rezzo]

Metal Knuckles was stupid he shot missiles from his mouth wtf

[Mighty Arceus493]

Wait... There was a METAL KNUCKLES?! *Searches it up on Google* What game/s was/were M.Knuckles in?

Update: M.Knuckles was in Sonic R? Meh, I never played that game. Just another useless character...

[Sonic Boom]

A pair of Metal Knuckles, one pink and one blue, were the bosses of Sonic Advance's Zone 5, Angel Island.

[Will-powered Spriter]

No, there's only one metal knuckles on sonic advance: It looks like a pink knuckles until you explode it's paint job revealing the metal knuckles underneath.


Playing as metal sonic looks cool, but I'm not rebuying Sonic 4:1 simply because they won't release Sonic 4:2 on wii.

Unless episode 2 is released on the Wii U and you're willing to buy it and transfer episode 1 to the Wii U from the Wii, hoping that the Episode Metal can be received. But it's not worth going through all that trouble.

Wow, I can't believe I'm actually excited for episode 2 XD

What no!

Metal Knuckles was not in Sonic Rush and you really should play Sonic Rush it is a great game.

[Rezzo]

The confusion in this thread is immense

Metal Knuckles was only in Sonic Advance. Nothing else.

Sonic R isn't Sonic Rush, they're two different games.

EDIT:

If you thought that Metropolis Zone of Sonic 2 was annoying, try playing Wacky Workbench Zone of Sonic CD in Bad Future. ****'ll drive you insane.

[Mighty Arceus493]

What no!

Wait, I've played that game and by Sonic R, I meant Sonic Racing XD Wait, was M.Knuckles even in that game? Because that's what the Sonic Wiki.a says.

I flipping hate Wacky Workbench Zone, as much I love Sonic CD I really hate the level design at time.

Yeah, for some reason when I saw the Sonic R my brain auto-corrected it to Sonic Rush... ¬_¬;

Wait, was M.Knuckles even in that game? Because that's what the Sonic Wiki.a says.

Yes he was.

[John Wallrein]

Iv loved playing sonic forever. I ve had everyone since the first Sega ones

[Rezzo]

I ve had everyone since the first Sega ones

...Who made Sonic games before Sega?

[Eternal Darkness]

...Who made Sonic games before Sega?

Obviously Nintendo. They needed some competition, so they gave Sonic to Sega.
