The Supreme Topic of 'Other' Knowledge.

Tails Adventures is coming to the 3DS Virtual Console in Japan on 2013/4/3; it will cost 300 yen with tax. More details

 

In the first episode of the 4th Season of The Thick of It - Stewart Pearson (above) was referred to as Dr. Robotnik (Note: not Eggman)

 

Is it just me, or is there some connection between these two songs?

I just ask since Metal Harbor suddenly sprang into my mind after hearing the bonus stage theme too many times while trying to fix a bug with it...

 

http://gonintendo.com/?p=12921 So apparently there was a Sonic and the Secret Rings demo in Japan we don't know about...? Google Image Search just pulls up that tiny, blurry demo disc shot on this page...

Damage can carry over from one level to another in Sonic Heroes.

Well Jun Senoue wrote both, that's probably why. :P

 

I know there are a few different versions of the Sonic Bible out there.

Has the August 1991 Sonic Bible been added already?

 

That would be incredibely interesting to have, Buyatari! Would you kindly scan it?

 

I do believe this is new and isn't scanned or on the wiki yet. This looks later than the ones I'm familiar with which are from (if I recall correctly) June 1991.

Like Ash said, scans would be really neat.

This is possible?

 

This has been bugging me today: Who did the voice for Metal Sonic in Adventure DX? I'm talking about the one in the Trial Mode menus:

Admittedly, I've only done simple searches so far, but it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere here, or any where...

 

What do you mean? It just sounds like Eggman does the voice for the menu, and most of the sound effects are from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, so if you're asking about that then check around SA2B?

If not then I don't really understand what you mean.

 

Is it just Eggman? The menu voice just sounds much more sinister than Eggman does in the game. Well I guess it does make sense.

 

Sonic Adventure had menu voiceovers for all the characters which could be activated by downloading theme files from the official website. There were theme files for all the playable characters, plus Tikal and Eggman, but there wasn't really a way to (de)activate them from within the game. They didn't add a menu in DX, but they were kind enough to change the feature to be dependent on the last chosen character instead (with Super Sonic changing it to Tikal and Metal Sonic to Eggman).

 

Is anybody else aware of this bug? I don't see it documented on the wiki.

 

Clearly that's one of these. Even though you have to go slow as hell to do it.

 

Actually, I don't think so: the "diabolical traps" probably refer to getting stuck in the walls with no way to escape short of timing out or resetting, as was so ridiculously easy to do in CNZ in original S3. You die here; that's much more merciful!

I have never seen this one before myself. Nice spot!

 

This is at least new to me. You can escape those Grabbers in Sonic 2 by pressing left and right a ton, just like you can in Generations. I assumed they added that feature into Generations as a preventative way to not get fucked over but I was shocked to find out it actually works in Sonic 2 also.
