This video's a bit all over the place. Didn't exactly know how I wanted to tackle everything I talk about here. So I figured I'd just throw it out in one big sloppy thing. Hope you liked it.
I shoulda mentioned it in the video, but the story is one thing Superstars is miles above Mania in. Mania has literally no story. Where this captures the spirit and feel of original Sonic surprisingly well. And it was written by IIzuka. So he's 2 for 2 at writing Sonic games with good stories that most people don't understand.
I'm sure many will notice Trip's arc here is reminiscent of Blaze's story in Rush. Which I'm okay with. It's something I find very relatable. We all have our issues. And I love to see Sonic tackle these things with positivity, fun and good characters. It's what Sonic is really all about.
Guess I'll briefly touch on the comics and animation here. The Fang comic is alright. Not much to it, and there are some minor details that feel a little off to me, but fine.
Trio of Trouble is great. Don't love the Sonic super friends vibe of it, but it makes sense considering the concept of the game. No other complaints. Please make a Classic Sonic animated series already.
And for those unfamiliar with the manga, here's a link to a machine translated video of it. Not ideal, but it gives you the gist until Windii translates it. It's neat. Feels very much like the manual stories of the original games. And it feels quite similar to a Sonic 2 project that I may or may not be working on.
