    It was eventually confirmed the goggles would NOT help Sonic breathe underwater, it was just for decoration.

    The Air Dash move from Sonic 3, wasn’t completely scrapped, but reused for Hyper Sonic

      Not just Hyper Sonic, even! When we got the modern games like Sonic Adventure, Sonic would do a horizontal air dash in a given direction (defaults to facing direction if up, down, or no input is held) if he were to attempt a homing attack with nothing to lock onto.

    Sonic's airdash in a sonic 3 prototype has been reused for hyper sonic though, as well mecha sonic having a somzwhat similar 1 in his base form when you fight him
    & Mecha sonic also has a ring throw move in his super form right before he goes back down to his base form, which seems inspired by that scrapped move
    Oh & mecha sonic in his base form phase has something similar to the dropdash

    You can catch a few frames of Sonic sneezing in the Sonic CD cartoon opening, after he looks up at the chained Little Planet. I always wondered if the sprites were intended to happen if you made Sonic look up too long, sort of like how his waiting animation happens if you leave him still too long.

      Their function in Sonic CD Restored is very clever and almost seems as if that was the original use. When sonic goes over those butterfly badniks and they release sparkles he stops for a bit and sneezes, then goes back to player control.

    Hello. I would like to ask about a thing you said that isn't particularly in your sources. In this video you call Rabbit "Felix “Feel” the Rabbit - as he has come to be known by the Sonic community - ". I have seen him be called Feel or Feels many times, but I would like to ask about the name "Felix" as it is presented as a more credible name by the way it is written and by it's repetition thoughout the segment. Has the name "Felix" ever been used officially is some regards or is this another fan name that I just haven't heard before?
    I have seen screenshots of a alleged quote from Naoto Ohshima where he says Rabbit was originally intended to be named Max. As the screenshot was from a supposed DM that I can't prove the reality of I wish not to use that as a source for a name, which is why I've used "Rabbit" as his name in this comment as thats the name presented in SuperStars.
    Thank you for your time and I really enjoyed the video!

      People call him Feels because the rabbit character is inspired by Felix the cat Road Runner and some ideas from Michael Jackson, on top of that his entire design, gameplay and mechanics would then be adapted into Ristar,
