I'd like to start with a "lets lose the majority of the crummy Sonic characters that no-one likes ( for me I like Sonic, Tails and Dr Eggman) then we could fill up the places of "those other ones that nobody uses" with LOADS MORE Mario madness!!!!! lets get the Koopa kids in there and a Goomba bobsleigh team would be fantastic!!

Jamaican bobsled teams > Goomba bobsled teams

So, basically, what you're saying is you want a Mario and Sonic game with a serious Mario bias and lacking the characters some people actually like using in favour of replacing them with characters that haven't had a significant role in a game in years?

...good luck.

Wait...you're saying you want a GOOD, CURRENT Sonic Game?

Err...have fun.

I'm not quite sure what he's saying at all.

I think he's trying to say that we should not use characters like Blaze, Jet, Vector and the like. Instead, we should replace them with goombas, koopas, and the Koopa Kids.

This isn't a bad idea, actually. Sonic characters that aren't Sonic, Knuckles and Robotnik kind of suck. I've grown to hate Tails over the years because furries often use him in disgusting and perverted pictures (accidentally stumbling upon Encyclopedia Dramatica is not fun). Not to mention he's kind of annoying in the first place.

The gotta give incentive to the older fans. Where's my Mighty versus Stanley, Sega?

I for one like Tails, and saw him as an innocent character in the old Adventures of Sonic and Sonic SatAM series. As for the perverted pics, I think that's a moot point because you can look up any animated thing and find stuff that will haunt you for the rest of your life. True that some targets are bombarded much more frequently than others, but I try not to let it affect my original opinion of the characters. And now you know Encyclopedia Dramatica is one more place to try avoiding. I always get it mixed up with Uncyclopedia for some reason.

"Bobsled Race" in Mario Party was enough bobsled action for me. I think Koopa Troopas sledding would be kind of cool. Actually, I want to see luging instead so that if it tips over, we can see ragdoll physics as Mario flies into a wall.

And I liked Cool Runnings.

I have felt your pain, my friend. I only intentionally journey to the former when I'm in the masochistic mood for some horrible meme gifs and jpegs.

ED is one of those sites that I would never go to intentionally, but whenever I accidentally end up there, I inevitably end up looking at far more than I wanted to, trainwreck-style. Like that one time I somehow found myself on a wiki entirely about strange body piercings.

Fortunately, I haven't stumbled across Tails on there yet, so he's still my favorite.

Sonic, Tails and Knuckles used to be cool, but then SegaSammy replaced them with exaggerated facsimiles.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #11 on:** February 22, 2009, 08:29:31 AM »

Pictures?

The original Sonic, Tails and Knuckles:

The fascimiles SegaSammy replaced them with:

See what I mean?

Oh no, they used 3D animation!!!!

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #14 on:** February 22, 2009, 11:43:58 AM »

I guess I just wasn't familiar with the term "SegaSammy".

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #15 on:** February 22, 2009, 07:54:29 PM »

Sega Sammy didn't exist until like last year, long after they started using the 3D Sonic models.

Normally, I'd be sticking up for Shadow, a character who seems to be underrated on this board because he's too "overrated" (I like him nonetheless), but I really don't think he should be in a sports game, so... yeah.

BP · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2009, 09:26:41 AM »

Shadow's popularity really confuses me. Do people like him (evidenced by things like how much demand there was for him in Brawl, how excited fans were when he was shown to be an assist trophy, how well-received it was when Syntax Error hacked Sonic into him, how crushed they were when Syntax Error closed, how high the demand for him was following, how angry people were when Androu unveiled Shadowchu, and how pleased they were when Elite Smash Hackers put out their HEDHEOG) or not (evidenced by pretty much everything else on the Internet)? Maybe I'm in a peculiar crowd...

Forget "overrated". He's a ruined heap of a character. It's bad enough he fit into the cliched "evil twin" role in his debut (which was already occupied by Metal Sonic no less), but when he actually showed some strong character and sacrificed himself, they go and they bring him back from the dead with no explanation, then give him his own game which completely contradicts everything we already knew about his personality in addition to complicating his backstory even more.

Seriously, what's there to like?

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2009, 07:55:43 PM »

EDIT: I actually kinda like Shadow...but since the Sonic series as a whole has kind of gone down hill, I've stopped paying attention to him. I was kind of critical of him before I edited this post (I know, go ahead and hate me), but he's alright.

I will admit that Tails is extremely likable and downright cute in the old Sonic cartoons.

I pretty much like all of Robotnik's incarnations. Especially the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Robotnik (I know, go ahead and hate me some more).

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 25, 2009, 01:23:40 PM »

I don't know who could possibly hate you for liking "Adventures" Robotnik. Especially compared to "Current" Robotnik (Eggman).

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #21 on:** February 25, 2009, 01:50:24 PM »

The Robotnik from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is often associated with the internet meme "PINGAS" and plenty of people on this site hate memes in general.

That's not what I like him for, though. He's extremely hilarious and voiced by the legendary Long John Baldry. Baldry brought a lot of life and energy to the character.

FlamingBlueMario · « **Reply #22 on:** February 25, 2009, 06:38:03 PM »

All this talk about Shadow and Sonic REALLY leaves Mario out in the cold. Eggman looked his best in SA2. I like Shadow because of his subdued personality, but after I learned that he was just another clone (of a thousand other Shadows), it made me think of him as a pitiful, confused, enraged, revenge-seeking hedgehog looking for an identity that he already had. It's just that SEGA messed with it...a lot.
