A new interview with Christian Whitehead by Ashley Rojas came with a sprite sheet including the known R2 sprites, but also previously unseen special stage sprites.

I'll say one thing: It's ironic how fans insist Shadow's independence & promise to Maria can coexist, yet treat Amy's love for Sonic as a threat to her independence (it never was). Her love was always multifaceted. Some just refused to engage with it in good faith.

Knuckles is genuinely so funny in this games cutscenes man what were they even doing during development
Knuckles's mocap animation literally shuts off mid-cutscene in Sonic's campaign

Fun fact: SEGA used so many resources baking the lighting for this game that their power went out multiple times. They dedicated several office hours where appliance use was banned so as not to trigger circuit breaks.
This game came out in 2008 btw

Thanks to Sega's new art showcase, we now know that Chip was originally going to flip Sonic off during Sonic Unleashed's dumpling fight. Not joking.

I like when Sonic X makes Sonic pathetic in an exaggerated way sometimes, actually

Learning the lyrics and Sonic was actually scared of dying in this really changes the context for SatBK. He could die at any moment and it's scary, but that makes him value his life even more and is willing to fight 'til the end for it. Sonic stories were somethin else, man.

There's a Game Over page in the Sonic Official Coloring Adventure if you mess up so badly that you somehow lose to Eggman. The way Eggman is holding Sonic by the head after he's beaten him down and stripped him of his autonomy reminded me of that art of Eggman with Metal Sonic.

The Japanese version of this scene is so fucking funny
Episode 14 was the best episode in the entire show, but Episode 20 was comedy gold

Did proper research. That's how I ended up with this design eventually. It's way neater and more appreciative of my culture imo. 🥺💕

One thing I’ve consistently noticed about Demon Hunter Shadow’s Demon Blade attack is that it’s so glitchy. My characters always got frozen in one pose after being hit by it as shown in my recording here.

Silver isnt a silly or childish guy, as the fandom believes he is in his LITERAL debut game he’s damn near a full on assassin just for the sake of his timeline. He did NOT even think twice about killing sonic. It’s hard to imagine him being “childish” after that
