and this is the power of THE 32X

[@Iinneus]

This installment features gameplay similar to previous games in the series, but changes things by introducing a team-based mechanic, in which the player must utilize the abilities of multiple characters to make it through a stage. The player, however, does not control their partners directly. Every character has a unique ability, such as Espio's ability to stick to walls and Charmy's flight. The plot of this game sees the return of Metal Sonic, who constantly thwarts the heroes until the game's final act, in which Metal Sonic even usurps the Dr. himself as the final boss when he transforms into a giant monster. All-in-all, I find Sonic Heroes to be a very enjoyable game.

[@casualvanilla]

Larry Bundy Jr It was going to be on the Gems Collection for the PS2 and GameCube, but I guess that they couldn't emulate the 32X correctly. To be fair to Sega, Mega Drive and Mega CD emulation was considerably easier than the 32X for whatever reason.

[@deadturret4049]

Aleisis probably has to do with the fact the sega cd was still technically 16 bit so half of the code was prolly just pulled from the genesis emulator. 32X is a bit of weird beast.

[@dragonempress8367]

That's sad

[@aliastheabnormal]

Actually Sega's stance is that Knuckles Chaotix has been unpersoned. The Chaotix from Sonic Heroes and Mighty from Sonic Jam are the official first appearances of the characters according to Sega. In fact outside of the Classic genesis games and Sonic CD the only 16 bit era game that Sega hasn't unpersoned is SegaSonic and that's mostly due to Whitehead studios.

The Dizzy Sprites might have actually been used for an unused death animation, in Sonic Crackers there are a set of spikes on the roof and if you jump into them in the right way you will trigger the dizzy animation and since you cannot collect any rings in Sonic Crackers its pretty safe to say that they are death animations

The good ending usually goes into some amount of detail, while the bad ending is usually "here're the collectible macguffins, here's your enemy with them, try again and get them back", whereas here, the _bad_ ending goes into (some implicit) detail and the _good_ ending is just the collectibles and cameos from characters.

Many, many people love to use emotional attachment or "enjoyment" as an excuse to call their game "good", despite it likely being ok, very ok or mediocre, as that game they protect so fondly is their -only reason to live- favorite game.

Marina Madness could have had water that raised and lowered when you hit the buttons on the boats, and air bubbles. I think the battle against Metal Sonic Kai was originally gonna be fought by Super Sonic, and could only be accessed if you got all the Chaos Rings. The way the Metal Sonic Kai boss is done, it could have worked well. This would also mean that you would likely only fight Metal Sonic Kai if you got the Chaos Rings. If you beat Metal Sonic's main battle without the Chaos Rings, it would make more sense to not get to fight Metal Sonic Kai without them, but since he still becomes Metal Sonic Kai, and because you are powerless to stop him, you get to witness the bad ending. If you look at the fact that the Heavy and Bomb statues use orangish gold and blue palettes, and there is two of them... I think it was originally planned if you beat the game with all the Chaos Rings, you would "rescue" Sonic and Tails (hence why they don't appear in the game), and if you chose to start a file over, you could now pick them at the beginning of each game, and one of the Heavy and Bomb statues would be replaced with Sonic and Tails statues. Also, I think those "drunk" sprites are meant to be death/KO animations. The weird "blackout" when you get knocked out goes perfect with them.

It's actually much more fun with two players. The springing around everywhere and going ridiculously fast feels silly and annoying when it's just you lugging around your dead weight CPU partner, but funny and anarchic when it's two people trying to work together.

In Sonic Heroes, there's boss battles against other teams. There's also Team Chaotix in there, and if You play as Team Sonic, which includes Knuckles, you don't get to fight Team Chaotix because this is Knuckles' old crew and killing them would be kind of weird for Knuckles. So I feel like this pretty much confirms it.

[@bigcraudio3066]

Calm down dude, you don't kill the other team, you just kick their asses and move on to the next stage. Unless you think that amy wants to date sonic so bad that she murders him from rejecting her too much. But besides that, it was probably due to limitations of the game itself, since every team only fights two other teams. And tbh, it would've been kinda cool to face the chaotix as team sonic just to see their interactions.

[@johnnonamegibbon3580]

I'm going to explain why I love this game in as few words as possible: -It is the only post trilogy game with superior tech to the Genesis/Mega Drive that allows you to get a glimpse as to what Sonic could have looked like on the Saturn before Mania existed. The art and sprites are beautiful and big. The color coordination is especially good. Very bright and purposefully exploding with color with black accents. And the levels have a lot of weight and scope to them. You can see the dome over the green house in Botanical Garden, which inspired Press Garden in Sonic Mania, for example. And there are little cutscenes before the bosses that briefly allow you to see the stage from a different perspective. I had a hoot playing it with my brother when we bought it at a flea market and hooked it all up once the system was already old and forgotten. It was great.

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

I loved this game for its music (it's too damn good), stage design (not in term of platforms location but more so on their appearance and color palette), it's immersiveness (the weather/ambient in each zone/attraction changes depending on the time you've been playing the game, which is too fucking cool, hell, even the "warp" zone has different remixes for each time, I wish they had done the same thing for the stages, so to make them more varied musically), the special stages are also great (dare I say they are on my top 3 best Sonic Special Stages). What else?? I think that is all. This game deserves the remake treatment, it has SOOO much wasted potential.

So I got this 32x ad-on and this game just as it was being phased out...and the 32x wasn’t even compatible with my (earlier) version of the genesis. To this day this still brings me ire, I was so pissed I didn’t even wait for the adapter piece sent to me in the mail, I mean obviously they knew the thing wasn’t going to work with the original version of the system, WHY wasn’t the adapter piece INCLUDED WITH THE EXPENSIVE ADD ON?!!!!! So...long story short, I ended up not playing this game until 15 years later as a rom on the computer...which made me thank god I returned the 32x way back when.

[@RednekGamurz]

Man, Chaotix is so fun once you get used to the ring mechanic and level design. It's not a hard game, but it's fun as hell to try to blast through the levels as quickly as possible, plus the random stage order mixed with the day/night system gives the game a new flavor on each playthrough. The special stages are also some of my favorites in the entire series, and the music/aesthetics are fucking great. I can understand why people wouldn't like this game, though. The ring mechanic can be annoying at times, and playing through the game casually is a fucking cakewalk.

[@Cybershell13]

I do really like the special stages, day/night system, and music, but I don't really enjoy blasting through the levels because they're so boring to me. Just too big and barren with nothing really challenging in your way, not to mention I tend to get lost a lot which is extremely tedious. I do bet that if you really enjoyed this game and bothered to really learn the mechanics it could be kind of fun. If you play it enough to sort of memorize the general location of the exits to every level, as well as really get a good grasp on the rubber band mechanic, it might be fun to go through the levels as fast as you can without having to worry about getting lost. It seems like it might be a fun game to speedrun actually. Oh actually it turns out it's not even fun to speedrun because the optimal way to consistently clear levels at top speed is to just fly through them as Charmy, which requires absolutely no mastery over the main mechanic of the game at all. Oh well.

[@RednekGamurz]

>Charmy Nah man, you gotta Mega Man X up walls with Mighty.

I do feel somewhat obligated to use Mighty when playing the game, since those bastards at SEGA apparently decided he doesn't exist anymore. So I gotta at least respect him enough to use him in the games he's in.

Sonic CD and Knuckles Chaotix are actually my favorite Sonic side scrollers. They're also the only ones I ever bothered actually getting the good ending in because their special stages are actually fun rather than frustrating. The Sonic CD one should've started you with more time though. Also I love the rubber band mechanic. It's so much fun to play around with. I only wish they'd found more fun things to do with it.
