    Yeah, I figured. Still, I'd like to think I would've assumed that the "Special" in Special Stage was hinting at something positive... but probably not, knowing what I'm like. :rolleyes:

    I can't get past page #9 in the second newspaper and past page #10 in the third newspaper - making me unable to read the Sonic-related stuff. Can somebody copy it? =/

    To be perfectly fair, the blocks do say "GOAL". That never made sense to me. They're not your goal, you're supposed to avoid them!

    I can't help but wonder... Who the heck doesn't know what a hedgehog is?

    I knew what they were before I ever heard of Sonic, and a while before I knew what porcupines were too.

    And what's with that little box describing the ring loss system? If you take a hit after getting 100 rings, even if you collect all the rings you dropped you'll only have 20, and you can't get another extra life by doing that anyway unless you get to 200, which is obviously easier if you don't get hit after reaching 100.


    As for the GOAL thing, blame the poor translators.

    Or just a sneaky move by the developers (I'd blame Robotnik, but he evidently can't get into Special Stages).

    I did that my first time in the special stage. The second time I stayed awhile so I could get rings and more score, and spotted the emerald.

    Well, somehow he can get the emeralds you forget to collect by the end of the game...

    I was thinking Sonic Adventure for some reason. I'm pretty sure you only get 20 in that one. I've never really bothered counting them in Sonic 1.


    I always thought he was the one who put them in there in the first place.

    The amount of rings lost is 20 rings in SA, SA2, Heroes, I'm almost sure that 06 (never collected THAT many before dying somewhere) is as well, and iterations of -20 in the storybooks and Unleashed (right?). 32 in the classics (all of them I wonder). Not sure about 3D blast for the saturn, as they disappear oh so very quickly, but it seems to be more than 20.

    In Unleashed (or at least Unleashed PS360), you lose half of your rings or 20, whichever is greater.

    Holy crap. My grandmother had that exact Knuckles in the cloud, but we are in America. Please define "localized" for these toys before I go off on a tangent.

    Isn't it obvious? Japan got Eggman while the Western World™ got Dr. Conehead

    He means Robotnik had the normal Eggman design in Japan.


    EDIT: Gotta type faster. =P

    Wow. Robotnik looked much nicer in the Japan version of those toys. Also, I own all of the American toys except Tails.

    The Americans always made his head far too spherical.

    I don't have any Sonic toys except for one of these, and some old Sonic Adventure 2 action figure that came with a little piece of road for Sonic's feet to clip onto. For some reason, Sonic's head is also detachable, and I can't find it.

    Oh man! I actually have these still - well, the Sonic, Knuckles, and Robotnik ones, anyway. I remember getting them back when they came out. (Tails was considered too "dangerous" by my parents, so of course I don't have the full set. :argh: Oh well, he's just a cardboard things, hardly a respectable toy at all.)
