    That way of including them I have to admit at least sounds acceptable, if there were an acceptable way to include them. The real issue there though is that they aren't doing anything that Sonic can't do himself, so why bother?

    Why do people love to play as Luigi, Peach, or even Toad? Or as Proto Man or Bass or Zero?

    Different strokes for different folks. No harm in it, in my opinion, at least if it's provided in the aforementioned fashion.
    And unlike Sonic, all of the friends past knuckles are extremely irritating reject mascots that I think even a developer like Rare would baulk at.

    Can you seriously say that with a straight face after Donkey Kong 64?

    I mean, like them, love them, or hate them, you have to at least admit that SEGA's are marketable-- proven by the fact they've managed to market the hell out of them across all kinds of merchandise.

    Crush 40 is great

    I hate to be the one to have to say this, but... City Escape wasn't by Crush 40.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_from_the_City

    Yeah it was. O.o;

    HAH

    also YES

    From that page:
    Two years after the release of Sonic Adventure 2, the album Crush 40, a European cover version of "Thrill of the Feel", was released by Frontiers Records... two bonus tracks: "It Doesn't Matter" featuring vocalist Tony Harnell, and "Escape from the City" featuring Ted Poley and Tony Harnell. Senoue's rationale for including these two songs was that he wanted to introduce some of his favorite songs featuring other singers to the fans.

    And from here.
    Crush 40 means a project featuring Johnny Gioeli and me [Jun Senoue], that's the reason I removed the instrumental songs from the album. As you can imagine, the two bonus tracks I did with Tony and Ted are not Crush 40 songs. I wanted to introduce some of my favorite songs featuring great singers to the new fans.

    So... *shrug* Not a Crush 40 song because Johnny Gioeli is not on vocals.

    I'm half surprised he didn't break into the factory to get the first one off the press to be honest.

    Also this is hella fun and I think it might even be better then Sonic 4 so far.

    The reward is from finishing all 21 game zone levels. To get the 14 missing ones, you need to collect red coins in the regular level. Once you get 30 of them you unlock the ability to play as mii's, and then for every ten after that you get a new level.

    nope. There is a seperate boost button. When you have energy built up it gives you a large boost on the ground or in air as long as you hold it, but when you have no energy it can still give you a short horizontal dash in the air.

    Oh, that level I raged about in asteroid belt? Turns out that unlike all previous regions crossed using the homing attack, you have to actually push in the direction of the asteroid you want to use the homing attack on (as there are actually divergent paths across that expanse). None of the previous homing attack paths had required that,

    The game's very fun so far, but not without its flaws. The yellow spring level for one.

    And WHY did they map the wisp powers to Z rather than R?

    That said, this is so packed with content I'm definitely satisfied. The anniversary game is going to be amazing.

    You will easily get 30 red coins well before the game is over, so getting the mii heads is a given. And given that you can unlock 14 bonus stages and then super sonic after that, it's not like you won't unlocking a bunch of awesome content before you getting to be super sonic.

    So this game is pretty super fun, huh? This is coming from someone who has never bought a Sonic game before. I had a bit of trouble with some of the platforming sections early on (don't really like how Sonic jumps), but it wasn't a big deal.

    All of the text so far is eye roll worthy. I still find myself enjoying it, though. It's like kids TV show, but at least it's a decent kids TV show.

    Is it me, or does exploring generally yield a better ranking than dashing through the level? It seems like the points you gain from enemies/wisps/power usage vastly outweigh your time bonus. That's an interesting change.

    I mean, I'm sure S ranks require you to tear through the level anyway, but I've been getting a lot of As on levels I took my time on, and Ds on stages I rushed through.
