Sonic 1 Brother Trouble

oh. I don't know new Sonic games very well, apart from Rivals 2.
Also: you know how Scrab Brain was before it's release, "Clock Ork"? I think a Clockwork zone would be pretty rad, think of the part near the climax of Castle of Cagliostro(If you've seen it) where Lupin's jumping around the big cogs, with guys chasing him, and stairs crumbling.

 

(Yeah, I read your spoiler. Neat.)

I actually imagined a sort of Art Deco metropolis, slowly sinking into lava (using a background layer - with some lava forced to the foreground - moving slowly up), and stuff catching fire and all that. Mainly because I want to hear a sort of drum 'n' bass meets jazz and blues tune for the accompaniment, and Markey could probably pull it all off.

 

A level inspired by American McGee's Alice (but without the grimdark) would be awesome.

 

Once of the zones I wanted to do in an old hack project I had when I was first starting out was Great Turquoise Genesisized, but the added twist was everything was upside down. You know, basically the GHZ/EHZ level but upside down. You can fall through hills but cannot jump back up though them. Everything would have been done by moving sprite platforms and save areas. Their would be a cloud layer on the very bottom of the level that was solid in case you feel and you would have to treck backwards to a series of springs/cannons at certain points that shot you straight up (without letting you move left or right in the air) so you could try again. These cannonsprings would be high enough on left side that you couldn't reach them coming from the right, but stairs on the right side so you can reach them coming from the left. I should draw a basic diagram in chance I ever want to use the idea again.

Also, I remember a thread on Retro that was talking about a hypothetical Genesis port/hack that would mimic Sonic Triple Trouble.

So Chess Zone?

 

I was thinking more along the lines of Surreal Void Zone

 

Now that you think about it, what about a modern Amercian city, but abandoned and a tropical jungle grew over it? Similar to that "Life After People" show on the History Channel.

 

Or the Ancient Relics from Sonic OVA?

 

What about a flooded ice palace?

I'm suddenly reminded of that headquarters made of ice from one of the 007 movies; I think it was "The World is Not Enough". I always thought something like that would make a neat Sonic level.

*gasp* What if that were Robotnik's base? That would actually be the first time an ice level was used for Robotnik's hideout! Call it "Chiller Central Zone", or something cool like that.

 

Forget Sunset Park; do Robotnik Winter Zone then.

:v:

 

Meta Junglira would rock the casbah!

 

I like this idea.

 

Clock Work Zone, complete with Medusa heads that knock you to the bottom of the level or kill you just to piss you off.

 

Hey, a train zone, now that's a good idea!
You could simply make a Megadrive version of Sunset Park or Rail Canyon or Bullet Station from Sonic Heroes.

Also, an ice-themed zone please ^^

 

There is this.

 

Gensise one of the rayman levels, personally I'd like picture city.

 

If you make the Art Deco zone all jazzy and crazy, it could be like the "bouncy" zone for the game - the same way Music Plant takes up that slot in Advance 2. "Hot Funk Zone"? :v:

And the flooded ice palace might make a good dramatic denouement. After all, the OVA climaxes in the arctic.

 

Do that =P

 

Well yeah, if you were waiting for ideas for a Carnival/RollerCoaster/Pinball/ zone, you should take a look at the Circus zone topic in the Sonic Retro project, there's a lot of concept arts in there that could help figure how to make a good level. Plus, it would be perfect for a replacement of Spring Yard.

 

How about a casino party at the beach?
