1. The drop dash was an idea SEGA and Sonic Team had since S3&K, but no game had implemented it until Mania, five and a half years after Generations. 2. The enemies in Sky Sanctuary are called "Egg Robo". The Hard-Boiled Heavies are specifically the Egg Robos in Mania that were present for the excavation of the Phamtom Ruby, which were then altered by it. 3. The day stages in Unleashed are spectacular, and the night stages are okay. Give it a try if you want.

I actually got Sonic Unleashed (Xbox version) for Christmas. Some notes: 1. Rooftop Run is in Italy. The game's plot is indeed a globe trotting adventure. 2. Each continent requires you to find 2 halves of a "Boss key." One is hidden a day and night zone. 3. Scattered throughout the game are Sun and Moon medals. They're not really that hard to find, but you a certain amout of both to unlock all the levels. 4. You can earn exp and level up. Pump it all into Werehog. 5. Speaking of Werehog, I liked it. Felt like classic God of War. The platform wasn't hard, only kinda slow. It's fun unlocking and using new moves though. 6. Eggmanland is only hard first time through. You'll get better again and again. 7. Not every enemy encounter is mandatory. Use that to save time. 8. The Boost and Homing attack are the same button. I've lost so many lives to that. 9. Chip is best bro. 10. Endless Possibilities slaps. It's made by the same band that made the Phineas and Ferb theme. Overall, it took a bit of time, but I absolutely enjoyed Sonic Unleashed. Can't wait to finally see you get to play it, Choc!

The reason you're having so much trouble with the boost controls is because unlike frontiers, the boost gameplay in this game is specifically designed to have you boosting at all times, with the challenge being maintaining that boost without hitting obstacles. Watch a glitchless speedrun to see what I mean. Unleashed has this same kind of gameplay except its levels are much more linear so the weird turning isn't really much of an issue most of the time, it mainly just comes down to quick reactions.

Music = MEH (most remixes are noticeably inferior to the original tracks, or downright worse) Gameplay= BIGGER MEH (Modern feels too heavy and clunky when platforming, the Air Dash is pathetic, Light Dash works only in certain sections. Stages are painfully short, easy, filled with invisible walls, and the "shortcuts" are so worthless since they bottleneck to the same path anyway) Story = Nonexistent and NOT excusable, because the characters are misrepresented, there are no stakes or reasons to be invested other than "muh nostalgia". Sonic and Tails are just insufferable as they are in Colors, and Classic Sonic being mute makes no sense.

I felt a bit old when you called the sonic adventure stages the "Gamecube Era" hahaha. The adventure games (1 and 2) were originally released on the dreamcast, Sega's last console.

[@turboshell]

Unleashed has some really fun day stages but they're definitely a lot tougher than generations or colors as far as i can tell though there's a lot less 2D segments than both games (still got a bunch but, yknow, in moderation) The werehog of course is gonna be very dependent on the person and mindset going in, my best advice is to experiment with combos and to not go in expecting uh. fast paced gameplay If you do play unleashed your best bet is to play it on xbox series x/s, but if you cant do that just dont get the ps3 version cause the framerate is absolutely abysmal, and the wii and ps2 versions are entirely different games

I Am All of Me

[@ms.pickledpenaut8363]

I very much understand why you didn't like colors. It's painfully easy, the levels are reused, and the final boss is very anticlimactic. I'm pretty sure the only reason I like it is because of nostalgia. But I don't know, every time I play that game I just have pure fun.

I got Generations for free with my Xbox Gold membership and I figured I might as well give it a try. It was free I haven’t played any Sonic games since I was a child. I had a great time, and the SA2 levels, especially the Shadow mini-boss, had nostalgia hit me like a truck. It ended up getting me back into Sonic, and I’m planning to binge Sonic SatAm and X hopefully soon.
