    1. The drop dash was an idea SEGA and Sonic Team had since S3&K, but no game had implemented it until Mania, five and a half years after Generations.
    2. The enemies in Sky Sanctuary are called "Egg Robo". The Hard-Boiled Heavies are specifically the Egg Robos in Mania that were present for the excavation of the Phamtom Ruby, which were then altered by it.
    3. The day stages in Unleashed are spectacular, and the night stages are okay. Give it a try if you want.

      I’ll be completely honest, it was very stupid of him to make an opinion of a game, of an entirely different game, and it’s not like he had the memories to base the opinion off of, he played the game around 2 years ago, and the fact that he called the wisps entirely bad even though the wisps in sonic colors were way better than the one’s in generations, at that point he might as well have said “Metroid dreads parry attack was a stupid idea, because the game that came before it was bad which means that the gimmick in this game is bad” he’s a good, and funny guy, but sometimes he can be just straight up idiotic

    I actually got Sonic Unleashed (Xbox version) for Christmas. Some notes:
    1. Rooftop Run is in Italy. The game's plot is indeed a globe trotting adventure.
    2. Each continent requires you to find 2 halves of a "Boss key." One is hidden a day and night zone.
    3. Scattered throughout the game are Sun and Moon medals. They're not really that hard to find, but you a certain amout of both to unlock all the levels.
    4. You can earn exp and level up. Pump it all into Werehog.
    5. Speaking of Werehog, I liked it. Felt like classic God of War. The platform wasn't hard, only kinda slow. It's fun unlocking and using new moves though.
    6. Eggmanland is only hard first time through. You'll get better again and again.
    7. Not every enemy encounter is mandatory. Use that to save time.
    8. The Boost and Homing attack are the same button. I've lost so many lives to that.
    9. Chip is best bro.
    10. Endless Possibilities slaps. It's made by the same band that made the Phineas and Ferb theme.
    Overall, it took a bit of time, but I absolutely enjoyed Sonic Unleashed. Can't wait to finally see you get to play it, Choc!

I also learned that you could collect most of Amy's heart tokens, including all of the Chaos Emeralds, before freeing Amy and continuing through the saga. You don't have to do anything; just talk to Amy and do some puzzles, lol. The reason why I speedran Amy's story was because of the boss fight, all while with Knuckles' story.

    The reason you're having so much trouble with the boost controls is because unlike frontiers, the boost gameplay in this game is specifically designed to have you boosting at all times, with the challenge being maintaining that boost without hitting obstacles. Watch a glitchless speedrun to see what I mean. Unleashed has this same kind of gameplay except its levels are much more linear so the weird turning isn't really much of an issue most of the time, it mainly just comes down to quick reactions.

    The Storybook Series (Sonic & The Black Knight, Sonic & The Secret Rings) was a favorite of mine as a kid, since the Wii was the first console my parents got me, and they were Wii exclusive. (My Mom said she couldn't NOT get a Wii, it was the only thing on my list for Christmas that year. To this day, she still says it was the hardest thing she's ever gotten her hands on, even with working at an Electronic Store at the time & all the connections that brings).
    I don't really know how the fandom at large feels about them, but I liked that they did something a little different with Sonic. Taking him into different Classic Literature settings ('King Arthur,' 'The Arabian Nights') was a cool concept I wish got expanded on more, especially given since most of it was Public Domain, there's a LOT of cool things to pull from.

Most of the "alternate paths" are completely useless and redundant, since they ALWAYS bottleneck to the same exact point, at the same time. When they do branch out, you get long, tedious, drawn out, awful sections you are never gonna replay again like the turtle path in Seaside Hill.

    I loved the 2D stages in Sonic.
    The 3D stages were an improvement from what has been years earlier but loved the 2D stages of Sonic Generation back in the day.

    I feel the same about Mario Sunshine. It was so fun as a kid. I remember always asking to go to Walmart to play the display, and then play at friends' houses. Playing it recently on the All-Stars collection was... rough. I would play Odyssey or Galaxy after quiting just to feel good controls again lol. I hope Heroes isn't that way.

    This was my first real sonic game. Sure, I had Sonic 3 & knuckles on the Wii, but I never made it past the second zone, and I still play generations to this day

    Sonic Generations was, in fact, my first Sonic game!
    I wasn't new to Sonic in general, but it was the first game I actually played, instead of watching playthroughs online

    Definitely my first sonic game motivated me to play the adventure games and the classics even.
