Egg Stations audio files call it the Death Egg. They probably just used a new name later on so they wouldn't get bitched at for rehashing.

Really? That's just awesome right there. Does that apply for every level in the game (Like is Splash Hill Zone listed as Green Hill in the files?) But if they didn't want to get bitched at for rehashing then they should have made the entire episode rehash... that and the last I checked Death Egg Zone didn't look like a turquoise egg carton...

Oh and those speed runs actually make the game look really good.

Only Egg Station is named like that.

Weren't Splash Hill and E.G.G Station the first level names to be leaked?

[Blue Blood]

Yep. Before the announcement of the game even. It's a shame. Splash Hill has me thinking water and E.G.G. Station made me think of trains, like those concept design for the Egg Carrier.

I remember when I first heard the name E.G.G Station, I thought we were gonna get something like Bullet Station, but in 2D and in space (or a 2D Final Rush type level).

I thought Splash hill was going to be some cool combination of Green Hill Zone and Sunset Hill Zone from Sonic Advance 3. I was wrong though...

I still stand an underwater submarine base for Robotnik has not been done in the series (Aquatic Base in Sonic 2006 is the closest, but not quite... think a flooded Flying Battery Zone) and would be a bit more interesting than Yet Another Space Base Zone.

Sonic Advance 3 had a really cool underwater zone. It was a bit like Labyrinth Zone mixed with Scrap Brain Zone with the enemies from Oil Ocean. It was epic.

People sure do like to forget that the Death Egg already came back in Sonic Battle.

That would be insinuating that people actually PLAYED Sonic Battle.

inb4 a world of backlash

Hey, I played it, and beat it One of the most awesome games ever made. Real old school, with an overall feel similar to Adventure 2. The Death Egg's revival was pretty awesome. Some of the comments the characters made really concreted the fact that the Death Egg is definitely the biggest threat to the Sonic world. It was huge, had a massive canon, and also had some kick arse music.

I don't think Battle is even canon. All Chaos Eneralds are green, Tails lives in some place called Emerald Town rather than his main series Mystic Ruins workshop, apparently Sonic lives there too, Knuckles house (since when does Knuckles live in a house!?!?) is at some weird place called Holy Summit, Amy and Cream live in a 'frikin apartment building together, and Shadow isn't confused out of his mind like he was in Heroes and the beginning of ShTH. Also some characters that have never even seen Gamma recognize Chaos Gamma's resemblance to Gamma. And they know his name, and the only characters that should know Gamma's name would be Eggman and Amy, but for some reason everyone in Battle does.

Dimps made Sonic Battle, along with whoeever else made the Advance series. Basically, Battle established that Tails doesn't live in his workshop- that's why it's called a workshop, Holy Summit is Mystic Ruins/Angel Island, but named so because it's more of a part of Angel Island more than anything, and basically, to sum it up, the whole game takes place way after Shadow The Hedgehog, due to a load of references that are given throughout. This game, Sonic Advance 3, and the resulting series seem to take place a long, long time after Sonic Heroes and Advance 2 etc. For more info, please have a read through my profile page
Also, about the Emeralds, they were all green, because RPG's and things usually just group similar items together. Because it's a "Chaos Emerald", it's just one generic sprite. All you needed to know was that there were 7 Chaos Emeralds (Which there were).

That is pure orgasm in a bucket. Having said that, I'm glad it wasn't called Death Egg, it looked nothing like it internally or externally. In fact, I'm just assuming it was a place holder name before they came up with the really well thought out E.G.G Station, which must have taken years to think up. They obviously had Death Egg on their mind- look at the end boss. Death Egg's basically become the standard model for end levels in Sonic, in the same way Green Hill Zone has for the opening stage.

Both Death Egg and E.G.G Station use the blue/gold color scheme.

[SpeedStarTMQ]

Actually you're right, but Egg Station really mixes it up a lot! Death Egg had really light bluey-grey floors, and that was about it. At least for it's first incarnation.

I know....it turned out to be a combination of Green Hill Zone, Sunset Hill Zone, AND Emerald Hill Zone...I am SO Disappoint!

Btw, when I see E.G.G. Station in the world map....it reminds me of a robotisized Angel Island.

Well I meant Sunset hill because of its inclusion of water slides and underwater parts, thus, you know, the "Splash" part

Am I the only one who notices a resemblance between E.G.G. Station and Frieza's spaceship?

[Sparks]

I don't know why, but I always thought that it resembled a football stadium.

Yeah I dunno. Maybe Sonic 4 isn't going to follow the "spherical spaceship" gimmick?

0.0 Now that you pointed it out, no you're not.
The Death Egg was a reference to the Death Star, so it's not like they've never made references with their big spaceships before (I highly doubt it in this case though).
