A kooky Youtuber with impeccable taste in Sega games and anime. Sonic CD's biggest fan, or at least in the top 15. Working on cool new vids. PFP artwork by @WenderCarlosArt. Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Sparkys_World-0/featured

Yep all three regions had their own variants of the artwork, with accurate regional Mega-Drive/Genesis designs and Sonic 3&K carts! They’re all cool but I *really* want the Japan one.

This is one of the coolest Sonic cover arts in existence and I’d give anything to own one 😭

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

It should be strictly forbidden for game guide writers to ever write "this part is easy". My dude, there is literally only one reason I am reading this and it's because I couldn't do it so much I had to look it up. It was categorically not easy.

In Donkey Kong Bananza, Pauline's idle animations evolve over the course of the game as she learns to be more comfortable around DK. In the beginning, she looks around worriedly. After Sublayer 300, she starts ruffling his hair, and after Sublayer 1400, starts tickling him.

It is now the 8th anniversary of Mania so time to dig up some Sonic trivia... This year, it's Kanga Clanga! (aka the Kangus). This lovable robo-roo originally lived in the outback but now entertains us all in Pinball Carnival Zone!
Kanga Clanga Badnik from Sonic Superstars. He is cute and orange, with a lovable blank eyed expression. Kanga Clanga Badnik, as it appears in a 2.5D prototype Evening Star worked on after Sonic Mania. It is balancing on its tail and kicking forward with its springy roo feet! Sonic is knocked to the left with significant kinetic force. A wider shot of Kanga Clanga hopping in pursuit of Sonic in the outback.

We all have our own limitations, and you’re still super young. Don’t be too harsh on yourself. Your friends already appreciate you for the person you are, and you’ll only become greater with time. Please have faith <3

We love you buddy. I hope you understand that 🥲

You Can Do Anything x It Doesn't Matter = the definitive Sonic character jingle 🔥🔥🔥

I’m envious that I’ve never once tried the 16-bit Fantasy Zone II that everyone seems to love, tho Super Fantasy Zone on Mega Drive is a total masterpiece.

Discord server was talking about favourite games of all time again so I racked my brains for some kind of current list

Sonic CD musical homages/callbacks in NiGHTS into Dreams OST (at least all the ones I've caught so far). Naofumi Hataya is a generational treasure ❤️

You’ve earned it 🙂

The original Sonic games had SUCH dope-looking marketing in Japan. How did kids not take one look at these and immediately demand ten copies from their parents???

Yet another nice example of a developer keeping a midrange, composite-only, consumer CRT nearby to check how the game’s visuals would look for the end user.

Sonic the Hedgehog came out on the SEGA Genesis 34 years ago today! To celebrate, we've added a History of Sonic VHS tape to our archive! It was released to promote the launch of Sonic 3, and includes behind the scenes looks at the creation of SEGA's mascot! archive.hitsave.org/ark:/78322/6...

Surprisingly no! Sega actually showcased it multiple times before CD even released in 1993, most notably as the intro to this tape they mailed to a bunch of fans houses that summer. They were pretty proud of it: youtu.be/_fhHScj0zr4?...
