There's a core on Retroarch called "Genesis Plus GX Wide" which as far as I can tell, seems to support true widescreen. That's what I was referring to. But yeah, it would require quite a bit of work to hack a rom into taking advantage of it. Give it time though.
That's cool but honestly I'm also glad with every features added like Tails and Knux in Sonic 1 without having to launch a romhack or Sonic 2 where Tails could fly.
Oh yeah, I think the devs didn't think too much about playtesting with him. Truly an overpowered character.
It clearly shows the lack of beta testing. But then again how many got Super Sonic early on?
Sorry sir but this is a thread focused on Classic (2D on the Genesis mainly) but yeah I guess? Maybe not in the latest years.
Ah i see. My bad lol.

Honestly I kinda agree but I've always assumed that Mecha was more on the power side of Sonic (especially the second model in 3&K) whereas Metal was more about speed (especially with his back rocket).
I kinda got surprised at myself for finally enjoying 3D Blast after managing to pass some levels.
Brother, people love that game. It’s always been niche, but it’s such a unique vibe and is connected to a popular character, so its legacy has actually grown massively with time.
Check out a channel called GameHut if you haven’t! It was ran by a main dev on the game. He shows off much of how they made the game, and even made a “Director’s Cut” on the game to try and address common criticisms.
They probably wanted to do something different for Tails. He’s a softer, fluffier character, so perhaps they felt another robot didn’t feel right.
Did anybody mention yet the Hydrocity bug involving Super Sonic in Sonic 3 standalone? You beat act 2 as him and Sonic’s spikes go down but he keeps the pallete. You even get unique victory text for completing the act! I love that bug and I try to go for it every time I play.
I think that it's quite interesting that the cutest character in the cast back then had one of the creepiest counterpart.
Classic Amy got more love thankfully with Superstar and Origin.
I knew about the miniboss having the wrong theme unless you enable the drowning jingle.
I want to keep this thread positive. Superstars has a ton of cool ideas and designs that give us a lot to talk about. It’s interesting that, by the point of SuperStars in the timeline, Robotnik is experimenting with trying to mass produce Metal Sonic’s architecture with robots that don’t need to be based off Sonic. Makes me wonder if they’ll follow that line of thinking with the next classic game (if such a thing releases one day).
For me with Sonic 3, my favorite zone is probably Flying Battery, Lava Reef, or Death Egg. While the Knuckles part of the game has higher highs (as represented by my list) Sonic 3 standalone has far more consistent quality.
