    Loving how the article is stating the music that inspired it, pretty much all of his notable creations are intense plagiarism.

    I just heard that from someone, that's all. Here's a comparison:

    Turns out that the person was right, only a couple people from Sonic Advance actually survived through the other Dimps-developed Sonic games (Advance 2 & 3, Rush and Rush Adv., Sonic Unleashed Wii/PS2 ver.) long enough to develop Sonic 4. Although they weren't in Sonic Generations 3DS's development team.

    On that note, I find it funny that four programmmers were able to get the physics for Advance much closer to the classics (even though Advance wasn't a classic-themed game nor was it trying to be) than nine programmers were able to for Sonic 4: Episode 1.

    You understand it better when you notice that said nine programmers weren't even trying. Really, Sonic 4 wasn't intended to play like a classic Sonic game. It was meant to look classic enough to make fans reach for their wallets on nostalgia factor. Nothing more, nothing less.
     
  4. Sega gave Dimps the engine from Sonic 3 and Knuckles to build upon for Sonic Advance, and I've tried to champion this battle since Sonic 4's release, I still think that Sonic Advance is the true successor to Sonic 3 and Knuckles. It kept the classic Sonic flavor while adding onto it in classic Sonic fashion. Sonic Advance 2 and 3 don't exist to me as that's where the series became an obstacle course that you simply have to run through, Sonic Advance 1 was an actual platformer though.

    Dimps is a good studio, it's whoever was put in charge of Sonic after Sonic Advance came out that should be shot.

    I think Sonic Advance feels like a sucessor to the portable Sonic games myself. They got the floaty feeling of Sonic Triple Trouble down pat.

    Oh, right. That just reminded me that "Sonic 4" was apparently supposed to be a different game (apparently it was named "Sonic DL"), but then Sega most likely slapped the title on it simply for marketing reasons. Genius financial move on their part though.

    being an asshole =P
    And most likely just one person worked on the engine in each case.
