The Supreme Topic of 'Other' Knowledge.

Yeup, that's it. With Unleashed being based on real world locations, Angkor Wat in Cambodia is the obvious best bet for Adabat inspiration. Other ones include:
Shamar = Petra, Jordan
Apotos = Mykonos, Greece
Mazuri = Great Mosque of Djenné, Mali
Empire City = New York City, USA
Chun-nan = The Great Wall of China
Spagonia = Somewhere from southern Europe. I've never been sure, but I'd always guess it was Bologna in Italy considering the name (Bolognese and Spaghetti)
Holoska = Alaska or anywhere else way up north.

 

I agree with you, but using Splash Hill wouldn't be all so bad if it wasn't the sound of dying felines. I mean, I'm sure the demographic that watches these parades finds dying kittens to be abhorrently unacceptable.

 

Speaking of inspirations,
I wonder if Mephiles was intended to resemble molten/ignited sulfur as apposed to crystal? Of note this Indonesian sulfur mine located in a volcano.

Then again, a lot of villains are made of glowing purple crystal-goop.

 

So uh I never watched much SatAM but...

Are the screenshots on the left from multiple episodes or a single one? Coincidence? Aliens?

Richard caught that immediately and was pretty pissed by how much of the same that episode is to Ghost Busted.

Not much here that we don't already know, but interesting to find the blog page for the people who did the humans in Sonic Unleashed.

They also did all the new characters that appeared in Night of the Werehog:

Again, might already be known.

 

I found a new Pirate Sonic cart. 'Sonic Marioa'

Just won a complete set of Sonic collectors cards on eBay made by Topps in 1993. It looks as if a lot of cards feature beta pics from Sonic 1.

Is this documented or should I fire the scanner up when they arrive?

 

I've never seen those before. Fire up the scanner!

 

I've seen those posted before, sometime, somewhere....but they don't seem to be on the wiki. (well, only the one featuring Splats)

So it would be nice to see the rest again.

 

Ok well I'll scan them when they turn up. I'm only going by the pictures taken of the cards on the auction.

So far I've seen the use of Ring instead of Rings and the sideways spike crushing thing in Marble Zone.

 

Is this even remotely true? Where did this come from?
