The Supreme Topic of 'Other' Knowledge.

This has probably been mentioned millions of times before, but:



Apparently, Sonic and Earthworm Jim are "No Hopers".

 

It's been on the wiki since several months ago: References_to_Sonic_in_video_games

Bonus points because our screenshot is a neat 256x224 unlike yours :v:

 

I need to learn how to work the wiki, then.

 

In regards to sonic CD, was it ever stated or determined why all the past music is coded into the game data, but the present and futures songs are Red Book? Was it known in advance that the soundtracks would be changed?

Does Sonic 3D blast utilize any special chips to produce it's visuals, or is it 100% Genesis hardware?

 

I didn't find an explanation on a quick Google, but perhaps it was due to space constraints (since the PCM is compressed) or even just to use the PCM playback feature? I did find this quote:

What? I'm a newb to both OSTs (something I must rectify!), but I do know PPZ Present J and Past open with almost identical melodies. :specialed: I assume this applies to most of the others too.

 

I'd say it's more likely a combination of the fact that these songs are the "past" songs (so using FM audio rather than Redbook) and a way of getting around the memory limit of a CD. I'm pretty sure putting the past music on too would've pushed it past 80 minutes.

 

Probably old but I lol'd

The first one is probably well known, but how about the second one?

 

Geez Sandopolis Act 2 is filled with glitches. I've never seen that before, nice find.

 

I remember reading about this a long time ago, but nothing more was ever found. Granted, this was before we realised that the Sky Chase dragon was still in SA1. Things have changed since then, so someone may want to take a look.

 

Sorry to sound dumb but which game is that stuff from?

 

Sonic Adventure 2. They're parts of the multiplayer menu.

EDIT: @ the bleow: Must be. The Dark Chao Walker in SA2B was a replacement for Big in SA2.

 

Wait, no, this is from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. The Dreamcast original on the other hand had Green Hill among the multiplayer stage labels.

 

Is the font the same in the Dreamcast version, though? If it isn't, we can conclude that they were at least planning on adding the Super forms (likely in a co-op final boss) with all the other 2P additions.

 

I see some faces there.

 

Oh wow, I NEVER noticed that before!

Nice find.

 

Oh wow, I never noticed Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles engraved on those.
