16-bit super Sonic is bad ass

It's a shame I didn't win that contest, but it's pretty lacking so whatever.

And then I did this a while back, but never finished it.

Oh snap, these are wonderful. I really love these.

Don't we all. I would love to see it happen again instead of always slapping ol' Supes in stupid final battles all the time. It's getting old and rather repetitive. I'd rather be using that kind of power in the levels blasting through at an incredible speed and getting shit done much more quicker and efficiently. The Super Sonic battles in 06 and Unleashed were bullshit in my opinion. Not that 06 even counts as a game anyway.

 

The Unleashed Super Sonic battle was awesome. The bit leading up to it in the 360 version was horrible, though -- I much would have preferred one run up to the boss followed by multiple segments of Rock-em-Sock-em like the Wii version had.

 

The Rock giant thing was really stupid and didn't feel like it belonged in a sonic game. I loved the Nights influenced ending battle though.

 

What's the point? In the modern games, besides the fact that Super Sonic can fly, Super Sonic seems to equal normal Sonic.

I mean the final super battle as Super Sonic in Unleashed he could lose rings by getting hit. If he's not invincible then what's the point?

 

Super Sonic today is pretty much a flying Sonic; just give him a glowing coat of gold paint and the ability to fly, and you've got a modern day Super Sonic.

In Unleashed, he was actually slower than normal Sonic, and lost rings when he got hit, as Dark Sonic mentioned.

That's the thing - by making Sonic faster and basically making him invincible with the boost, Super Sonic just doesn't seem like a big deal anymore in comparison.

 

Yeah, just raise the tight spots up a bit, and there you go.

 

And then you run out of rings and die. No, just having it as a regular bonus is quite alright.
