While chasing Robotnik in Act 3 of Labyrinth Zone today I experienced a creepy glitch by a broken enemy's sprite. :pika:
Doing some research I found out that this happens because when Robotnik's boss battle starts his sprite tiles are loaded in RAM. They overwrite the general enemy's tiles since these are not supposed to be around during the battle. Caused by a bug somehow one of them shows up and therefore has to use robotnik's sprites instead of his own.
Once again supported by @TheRetroSven I finally achieved the good ending in Sonic 1 for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive by getting all emeralds. 💪 Took me three streams but was a fun and not too hard challenge. 🦔 💨
Probably I will now do the same with Sonic 2 for Sega Master System as the next 💯%-challenge, but not quite sure yet. 💎
One of my fav lines of Dr. Robotnik in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is
"I'll build myself a getaway submarine!"
Because it implies not only do you currently require a getaway submarine from scratch, but that you previously planned to be able to make a submarine from scratch for just such an occasion
First little milestone for getting the good ending in Sonic 1 for Genesis/Mega Drive is achieved. 💪
I just could finish the game on 60 Hz with 3 of the 6 required chaos emeralds. 💎
Will focus on getting most of the emeralds in the early levels during the next attempts. Otherwise I will restart. I think this will help getting the good ending in the nearer future. 🦔 💨
Just had the new Peanut Butter Bacon SuperSONIC Double Cheeseburger and the Peanut Butter Bacon Shake from Sonic Drive-In and it was absolutely AMAZING!
The shake is exactly like it was when they had it the first time 10+ years ago.
The burger was exceptional as is Sonic burgers all the time. Peanut butter on the burger makes it that much better and I really wish Sonic would make this a permanent topping you could always choose to add.
Who ever played #Sonic Pocket Winter Edition on Neogeo Pocket Color before? A fully working game made from Sonic with 2 more characters (Tails and Knuckles).
For some time now I was thinking about presenting #RetroTrivia not only via pictures but short video clips that don't exceed the Mastodon server's file size limit. 🗄️
Finally I arranged to capture, edit and publish my first video directly here on Mastodon. 📼
When you've got 40 seconds and want to know what going too fast in Sonic can lead to, give the video a try and me some feedback. 👌
Today I modded my Mega Drive with a 60 Hz switch. It worked out fine and now I am happy to enjoy classics like Sonic on original hardware the way it's intended. 🦔💨
My partner and I played #MarioPartySuperstars for the first time and IT’S SO FUN and definitely worth every penny, honestly. Super happy to finally have another local multiplayer #game worth playing other than #MarioKart lol. On the #Disney side of things, and also speaking of Mario Kart, I tried #DisneySpeedstorm and honestly, for a “free to play” #racing game, it’s pretty good and definitely the closest “competition” to Mario Kart. I’ve purchased the other #Sonic games just bcos I want a Mario Kart that isn’t #Nintendo but they’re all honestly garbage - Speedstorm tho has the potential. My final judgement of the game will ultimately boil down to figuring out how easy (or not) it is to unlock the Local Multiplayer feature without spending a dime cos atm, that mode’s still locked.
So, I may have bought presents for myself recently, then wrapped them (or helped my kids wrap them acting like I had no clue it was for me) and the pretended to be surprised on Christmas.
...
Yes, that is exactly what I did.
Here's a pic of the stuff including all of the Wotakoi manga (a Cyber Monday deal), The Last Ronin, and the newest Sonic game.
A #feature I did not expect to work on to close out #2023:
I spoke to Naoto Ohshima, the original designer of #Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Director of #SonicCD!
We talked about what the development of the #game, what that scrapped 'R2' level was meant to be, and lots more.
Sonic - Look at the stars instead of the dark
