Sonic Superstars Leaks/Spoilers

[glass carbon]

Bye guys

[spring shoal]

|| This boss is borderline underwhelming.||

[charred solstice]

||also maybe just for me, but background seems very low-poly for some reason||

[hybrid nymph]

||On the plus side, Klu's gonna be happy with this ending||

[little quiver]

||I wish the 'Last Story' was more than a boss fight at least lmao, have to beat two other modes (and have all Emeralds, but you'll probably get them before you beat Trip's) just to get this||

[spring shoal]

|| Also the music really thinks its https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9595Tg8lurE ||

[glass carbon]

||This looks a bit cool||

[glass carbon]

ALSO SAME

||From it being it’s own mode I thought this would be longer lol||

[little quiver]

||btw, keep in mind this is like any other boss in this game; if you die you must start from beginning||

||wonder if this fight is as bad as Fang's lol||

[reef anvil]

D E A D L Y S U N

[spring shoal]

[glass carbon]

||Its actually pretty easy so far lol||

[charred solstice]

||this is like you playing magolor epilogue after beating the main story, but you immediately fight master crown with no cutscene/context at all 😅 ||

[glass carbon]

||Like even in the second phase||

||And it’s over lol||

[little quiver]

||yeah but the attempts still take pretty long, the other people that beat it/tried it seem to think it wasn't easy either||

[glass carbon]

||Funny how the other two final bosses were actually difficult||
||At least this one looks genuinely fun lol||

[glass carbon]

I see

[little quiver]

||though wouldn't be surprised if Fang is still harder lol||

||I don't think dragon has insta-kills at least||

[charred solstice]

||dragon W|| i guess?

in that aspect i mean

[glass carbon]

||Yeah doesn’t seem to have any instakills||

||And the other characters show up to drop a good amount of rings too||

[little quiver]

||oh the black holes can kill you I guess||

[reef anvil]

God dammit

[charred solstice]

||i realized this game seems obsessed with insta-kill at main boss in later zones... 😓 ||

[glass carbon]

||Honestly to give this game credit, I do think it was a pretty okay fight. (Except the possible instakill that’s inexcusable lol) Cause honesty my standards were pretty low so I doubt they were going to do some crazy ass Frontiers Level shit, especially for a Classic Sonic game with enough jank as this.||
||And the boss theme is uhhhh fine? I personally think they should’ve swapped it with Final Fang instead lol||

||And again I know Classic Games aren’t meant for dialogue but they could’ve had SOME text explaining who the fuck bro is||

[reef anvil]

||Sonic 3 told its entire story without a single word being spoken||

[little quiver]

||okay yeah not even different music (three different music files but the song is the same)||

[spring shoal]

|| And Mania, to an extent.||

[dusky grove]

||i think it looks good in 2d and from a side angle||

||do we know the dragon's name yet or should we still refer to him as timothy or some shit||

[spring shoal]

|| Nope.||

[dusky grove]

||timothy it is||

[next whale]

|| the dragon looks like a corrupted version of trip's superform. Maybe he was a sungazer that became evil who knows||

Btw ||so eggman left the game after the main campain?||

[glass carbon]

||Pretty much yeah||

||Trip’s Story seems to be about Fang getting revenge and using his Eggrobos as an army||

[next whale]

||i mean this is kinda surprising but im kinda glad they doesnt do the whole "eggman betrayed be the monster of the week" trope and the dragon seems MOSTLY independent from eggman||

[hybrid nymph]

Final boss spoilers
||https://youtu.be/lWWuyF2tCic?feature=shared||
Okay, maybe the music in this game isn't all bad

||Honestly gives off heavy Mega Man vibes, is that just me?||

[spring shoal]

||This one is decent, although, it's kinda ruined for me due to watching that streamer fail on this boss for 5 hours straight.||

[little quiver]

||it's good but could be longer||

[hybrid nymph]

||Fair lol||

https://youtu.be/7EIBHouL9rg?feature=shared
I TAKE IT BACK, JUN SENOUE SHOULD HAVE LEFT MORE OF HIS MUSIC IN THIS GAME

[spring shoal]

|| THIS IS JUST THE SONIC 4 METAL SONIC BATTLE MUSIC LMAO||

[hybrid nymph]

I KNOW LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO

[spring shoal]

😭

[hybrid nymph]

The worst part is it's unironically better than the theme they went with

||https://youtu.be/HaPmMfSBvic?feature=shared||
This shit is so boring

[spring shoal]

|| If I hear that genesis drum again, i'mma scream.||

I'm sick of it

[hybrid nymph]

The only piece of good Genesis-styled music in the entire game
||https://youtu.be/MQfUqWb-Gqk?feature=shared||

||BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY USING THE GENESIS SOUNTFONT AND NOT THE MOST ANNOYING FAKE SYNTHS AND DRUM SNARES POSSIBLE||

[spring shoal]

Okay, this is not too bad

[humble charm]

hii metal

[reef anvil]

I'm actually pretty interested at the implications of all those ||mass produced prototypes||

[spring shoal]

|| Me too but shit is barely explained here.||

[glass carbon]

Considering ||how the Battle Mode seems to take place specifically at an Eggman Base, I wonder if he was trying to build up an army of not just Metal Sonic, but other Metal characters as well. And the Battle Mode is probably him testing their combat skills||

[elfin kayak]

||sand sanctuary ost is peak||

[spring shoal]

|| true||

[hybrid nymph]

||One of the few bangers in the game||

Screw it, here are all the music tracks I've heard in the game that I'd consider genuinely great:

• Speed Jungle Acts 1 and Sonic
• Pinball Carnival Acts 1 and 2
  ||- Lagoon City Act 2
• Sand Sanctuary
• Trip's final boss theme
• Super Sonic final boss theme||

[glass carbon]

||https://youtu.be/TMga6d6uSe8?si=EW4q6_b8PKS4VqAO|| Full video of ||Trip’s Story||

||Annoying one hit kills aside I’m really happy Fang gets a chance to become a final boss for the first time. Makes up for him being unceremoniously dropped in the main story for some reason||
||Also||

[spring shoal]

Deserved

[humble charm]

what the scallop

[reef anvil]

Erm

[glass carbon]

[spring shoal]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9595Tg8lurE|| Reminds me of this

[glass carbon]

Omg you’re right

[spring shoal]

I will rope starfy into any conversation

[glossy lava]

||https://youtu.be/RzvQzBQ6Wa4?si=pcnoGMOwnHkXmVi1||

||aw hell nah who snuck super paper mario into my sonic game||

[humble charm]

nahhh

i aint completing ||trip's story||

[gloomy terrace]

Spoiler that

[humble charm]

oops

[spring shoal]

|| THIS IS LITERALLY PM SPM OST.||

[lapis ferry]

took my bite at this info

and wow

||I guess for now some of the music is a bit eh for me, but who knows||

I do like what they officially revealed

[spring shoal]

|| The trailers made this game look too cool for its own good,||

[lapis ferry]

||I'll likely put one of the songs in my top 10, but it'll be lower on the list because the rest of the OST brings it down for me||

[spring shoal]

Never let Jun Senoue cook again

[lapis ferry]

what did he compose in the past?

I really am digging Speed Jungle Act 1, but that's Tee Lopes

[spring shoal]

Well, he's composed for lot of various sonic songs

Including all of Sonic 4.....

[lapis ferry]

...oh

wow that sucks

I might add Frontiers the Final Horizon over Superstars because damn

they cooked perfection with the OST (I listened to the lyrical themes)

[reef anvil]

Nah just don't give him the genesis soundfonts

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-staring-the-rock-gif-22113367

[glass carbon]

We should lock the Genesis soundfont in a cage and hide it in a place where nobody will ever find it tbh

[lapis ferry]

my music plans will include these games

at least 1 Sonic game

Kirby RTDL DX (the new stuff only)

TOTK

Mario Wonder

Pikmin 4

Pokemon SV DLC

Splatoon 3 (stuff from updates only)

Mario Kart 8 DX DLC

Pizza Tower

maybe Mario RPG

[edgy radish]

2023 plans?

[lapis ferry]

no

just listing a top 10 for me, personally

[edgy radish]

I said that because they all have something to do with the year 2023

[lapis ferry]

yeah

top 10 of this year alone

god next year will have like a bunch of Mario

since there's Peach Showtime and TTYD

[edgy radish]

TTYD remade ost is going to be something

[lapis ferry]

I know

[edgy radish]

but yeah

this game is disappointing though

even while playing safer than Mania

which is funny since that game also played safe but also didn't

||also SEGA STOP RELEASING GAMES THAT ARE UNFINISHED/NOT POLISHED ENOUGH||

[lapis ferry]

the game is still good

for $60, no

wait till it's on sale or something

[edgy radish]

yeah it's still good

[lapis ferry]

||some of the music reminds me of BDSP's beta music which was made from stock sounds as placeholders||

also

[edgy radish]

||If I actually played this I would probably put this below Sonic 2||

[lapis ferry]

at least ||the game is playable and not awful controls, and pretty lengthy||

[edgy radish]

sorry not sorry

🤫

[spring shoal]

Good placement

[edgy radish]

one of these days SEGA is going to get into some legal battle if this keeps us

[lapis ferry]

||cannot believe Modern Sonic got the better game for once, as in, new games||

[spring shoal]

|| I mean, frontiers isn't a shining white horse but it's way better than stinkystars.||

[edgy radish]

||Even if it's more unpolished than this game?||

[lapis ferry]

kinda

at least ||Sonic Team fixed some of the bugs, also the OST is filled with bangers||

[spring shoal]

|| I'd rather play it than superstars.||

..........actually

[lapis ferry]

I mean

[spring shoal]

|| Now that I remember how awful, janky, stupid, unpolished, mid and stupid frontiers is, i'd rather play stinkystars.||

[lapis ferry]

||all of these opinions are pre-release BTW||

no I'm not getting the game

[spring shoal]

|| Right, day 1 patch.||

[lapis ferry]

that's what I was thinking

[hybrid nymph]

So I do have a confession to make

I found my own... methods of playing Sonic Superstars, just to demo the first zone and see if I was too harsh on the game or not and if it's worth buying or not

I opened the game, played for 1 minute and 30 seconds, felt horribly guilty about the methods I used to do so, and immediately stopped

[lapis ferry]

||at least this game isn't Sonic Colors Ultimate levels of bad quality||

[edgy radish]

ok so far we have

[spring shoal]

|| Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.||

[hybrid nymph]

Going off that 1 minute and 30 seconds, the game seems pretty good, but I wasn't having any fun due to the guilt

[lapis ferry]

||I remember seeing people saying that Yuzu freaks out on trying to run the game so much that Sonic turns into a fish||

[edgy radish]

not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4 oh and maybe even 5 unfinished/unpolished games in a row!

[hybrid nymph]

Didn't happen to me

[lapis ferry]

it's ||more stable now||

[hybrid nymph]

But again, it was only 1 minute and 30 seconds

[olive meteor]

i think the game will be fun

but just gonna wait for a sale and for it to not be 3 days before wonder

[lapis ferry]

yeah

Wonder is in safe hands

[spring shoal]

Wonder my beloved

https://tenor.com/view/princess-peach-mario-super-mario-bros-wonder-super-mario-super-mario-wonder-gif-927458913371358918

[edgy radish]

yeah sorry but Wonder is definitely beating this game

[spring shoal]

I'm getting wonder whenever I can

Sorry Xenoblade 2, next time

[edgy radish]

there's no doubt about it

[glossy lava]

this game’s getting smoked by wonder 100%

[edgy radish]

I feel like SEGA is at fault for the release date being so close to Wonder

I feel like it was done on purpose too

[spring shoal]

They wanted to compete so bad

[edgy radish]

SEGA wake up this isn't the 90's anymore WAKE UP!

[spring shoal]

Would you rather buy a new mario game or a new sonic game be honest

[little quiver]

depends on the set of games

[edgy radish]

if the new sonic game was actually great and polished? Yes!

[hybrid nymph]

Not in music, it ain't

If I knew how boring almost all of Wonder's music would have been, I wouldn't have been as harsh to Superstars' music

[spring shoal]

.........

I like Wonder's music

https://tenor.com/view/washed-media-podcast-circling-back-dave-ruff-gif-18898359

[hybrid nymph]

Good for you, I'm glad you do! I think it's painfully boring

I've heard 2 tracks that I genuinely like

That's it

[edgy radish]

if there's orchestra hits in Wonder I will be on board 100%

because orchestra hits in music are always delightful to listen to

I will be on board anyway

[lunar musk]

Loll

[edgy radish]

HO HO HO HO HO!

If I had to say which zones stand out in Superstars for me it's ||Speed Jungle, Golden Capital and Cyber Station||

but Mania had even better stand out new ones

[plain path]

mario duh

[sturdy haven]

Wonder is practically day 1 for me

[hybrid nymph]

Screw it, here's how I'd compare Mario Wonder and Sonic Superstars based on which game is better in what key aspects, although keep in mind this is me going off other people's footage and, like, 1 minute of me playing Superstars

Controls - Tied (I personally prefer Sonic's but Mario's still seems great for what it is)
Level design - Unsure
Creativity - Mario Wonder
Visuals and appeal - Mario Wonder
Music - Sonic Superstars
Content - Unsure but almost certainly Wonder
Replayability - Unsure but probably Superstars for me
Polish - What do you think?

[sturdy haven]

I think Wonder is going to be a better game because Mario devs are simply way more competent than freaking arzest lol. The only thing holding back Mario was boring ass presentation in the new soup games

[lunar musk]

Yep

[hybrid nymph]

I'd honestly probably prefer Sonic Superstars and spend more time on it

...still doesn't change the fact I don't want to spend $60 on it

[sturdy haven]

Each to their own, I think Superstars would have been worthy of 60 bucks if Sega just let it cook.

[spring shoal]

Every single time

[plain path]

but they gotta make the game fast

like how sonic goes fast

segas the name, speeding developments our game

[hybrid nymph]

They took "gotta go fast" so seriously that they didn't even check if Sonic ever said that before releasing the movies

[plain path]

wait he didn’t

[hybrid nymph]

Well, he did once for a joke in Sonic Boom, but that's it

[plain path]

oh that was just the us anime into

oh

[sturdy haven]

it was from that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9G1Mf6TZRs

[hybrid nymph]

Aside from that, it's just from the US Sonic X intro

[edgy radish]

and BRANDING IS OUR LIFE since 2011...

[plain path]

true

[edgy radish]

also what is this new friends thing with Sonic?

Sonic didn't even have friends in the 2010's

except Boom or Mania or IDW

but now it's like Sonic does have friends again

and they're trying to market and brand it

which I guess is a step up

[sturdy haven]

they overcorrected hard to the complaint that Sonic's cast was too crowded

[plain path]

i think a majority, or loud minority, of fans didn’t like the friends in the 2000s/2010s so they chose to have them be less present. i’m sure you know about how sonic 4 was marketed as being without them. though now the new gens of fans are fond of them so now they’re getting love again.

[plain path]

pretty much this

[sturdy haven]

you know, "Sonic and his shitty friends."

So that even meant less focus on Amy, Knuckles and Tails.

[edgy radish]

can't wait until the inevitable battle begins between both

[spring shoal]

Who's to say it hasn't started

[sturdy haven]

I think my issue is that some characters were kinda just there. Characters like Chip, Elise, and Marine. They're not particularly proactive or interesting.

[hybrid nymph]

I I definitely agree with you on Marine

[edgy radish]

they all have missed potential

yes even Elise

[hybrid nymph]

I kinda agree with you on Elise, but I do also like the idea of Sonic being a mentor figure to her and encouraging her to live her life freely, even if it was done in the worst way possible

[edgy radish]

girlfriend mode activate!

[hybrid nymph]

And while I don't like Chip's characterization, his relationship with Sonic was genuinely great

[sturdy haven]

I don't hate on the concept. I just don't feel it's executed well.

Regarding Elise.

[plain path]

it is inevitable

[edgy radish]

the whole part of her being taught how to be free is probably the best to give to her character

[edgy radish]

which is sad

even Infinite got screwed over

and Sage a bit too

it's either hit or miss with them at this point

[glass carbon]

Ehhh I get Elise and Marine but Chip’s character feels complete lol

Which is also why we’ll probably never see him again

[edgy radish]

unless you count the humor filler

although Unleashed's humor is mostly unfunny anyway

at least it ain't trendy related comedy like Colors did

I mean they're both for kids but clearly one goes even further than that

[glass carbon]

I mean, I can tolerate Unleashes humor since the story basically balances it out unlike Colors more childish plot
The humor in Unleash isn’t just a joke every 10 seconds unlike Colors, so I can tolerate it there
Especially since most of it comes from Chip and not Sonic running his fucking mouth off with a cheesy-ass quip every time they fight a boss lol

[spring shoal]

Colors Writing pisses me off, it's so bad

[hybrid nymph]

Thing is I wouldn't be against the stories in Colors or Lost World being almost exclusively focused on humor if said humor was... good

Lost World especially just pisses me off with its story

Colors' story is at least inoffensive, Lost World's story is outright awful

[edgy radish]

||btw I just realized that the dragon egg/stone here in Superstars is probably a reference to the one from 3's manual where Knuckles is like "Oh my gah that big egg is like the dragon!" (yakuza reference)||

[spring shoal]

Lost World is abysmal

It's pretty much Super Sonic Galaxy

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/pun-entirely-intended-that-was-cool-sonic-cool-sonic-cool-gif-25741807

the only good writing in these two is Eggman

that's it

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-sonic-the-hedgehog-sonic-lost-world-eggman-dr-eggman-gif-24871253

Even when I was younger I thought this moment was stupid

[edgy radish]

trying to kill off your characters past 2001 is stupid (clearly)

[spring shoal]

Eggman is the main villain of the sonic series, there is no way they would just kill him off

[edgy radish]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-lost-world-eggman-you-bite-sonic-and-tails-pointing-you-gif-22757536

when the:

[spring shoal]

Eggman, you bite!

I hate how they tried to make tails look like a jerk in this game for no reason

[edgy radish]

love their toxic love triangle in this game

[spring shoal]

Everyone is so out of character for the sake of having a plot

[edgy radish]

what plot?

[spring shoal]

I forgor

[edgy radish]

you mean stop the koopalings & Bowser?

[spring shoal]

LMAO

[edgy radish]

no actually no

they're stereotypes as characters

Green Girl: Go watch Inside Out! It's a great Pixar movie! Not!

Zavok should've been his own villain

Zavok: Mwahaha can you stop me Mario before your world ends first???

oh and the

[spring shoal]

Oh well, if there's one thing I can give this game credit for it's the ost

[gloomy terrace]

You can say that for most sonic games

[spring shoal]

Yes, I know

[gloomy terrace]

The loz level was neat

[edgy radish]

2000 dude: I love My Chemical Romance and I have posters of Shadow the Hedgehog from 2005

The nights one was
Weird as hell ngl

[spring shoal]

Nights crossover was wild

[edgy radish]

now listen to me while I read out my fan fiction poem from tumblr 2009

📖

"Dear Sonic, please come to the castle. I've baked a cake for you. Your's truly Princess Toadstool, Rouge the Bat."

[spring shoal]

Overdone joke

[sturdy haven]

the thing about lost world is that it feels really regressive for Sonic's character. It's how I used to see Sonic in the worst light possible.

[gloomy terrace]

You think lost world might of suffered because of the whole Wii u thing

[edgy radish]

"That's sad, I'm sad now. Can you please start crying like... right now perhaps?"

Imma be honest

I actually think this is Jun's best track in the game and a pretty okay track in its own right

[charred solstice]

any chances to some music getting revamped by this patch? 👀

[lunar musk]

Oh good

[vital cobalt]

what's the worst song so far in y'alls opinion

[little quiver]

wtf lol

[charred solstice]

also someone at sonic discord got all the dlcs despite he only got base game apparently for some reason... 😅

man this launch is quite mess then i expected 💀

[little quiver]

yeah most of the DLC is free (on Steam) right now lmao

wonder how quick they will fix/change that

[spring shoal]

day 1 patches here we come

[charred solstice]

hopefully they notice these fast and fix as soon as possible 😓

[spring shoal]

also wtf is comic style

[charred solstice]

maybe cel shaded theme?

[little quiver]

yeah

[spring shoal]

Why is called comic style if its cel shaded

[gloomy terrace]

Makes me think that there might of been a plan to make superstars a exclusive
But backed out super late

[spring shoal]

wouldn’t be suprised

[gloomy terrace]

Assuming that they're telling the truth, at least

[spring shoal]

sonic games have had a nack for having digital deluxe versions lately

very annoying stuff

[gloomy terrace]

Low cost with a high payout, if people continue buying it they will continue

[charred solstice]

ah seems like they fixed it already lmao

meanwhile, hearing people on Xbox say DLC isn't working for them at all

[elfin kayak]

YEP

talking to a friend right now

he doesnt have the dlc activated for some reason

[vital cobalt]

I was watching someone play it on switch and ngl it kinda looks like butt 😭 Like I know switch looks like butt but like. This looked like a 3ds game idk lol
how's it compare on other platforms

[elfin kayak]

switch games can look good, superstars has a big artstyle issue

i really dont like how it looks

[little quiver]

I only really remember like, better lighting and stuff
but like I really care for that stuff lol

[vital cobalt]

Yeah something about it feels very mobile gamey

[plain path]

switch players getting the worst version of every game(like usual)

[elfin kayak]

xbox update

[little quiver]

lmao how

[charred solstice]

dear god

[vital cobalt]

Unrelated but is that a bulborb dream friend icon

[elfin kayak]

yes

gives me nostalgia for 2018 lol

[charred solstice]

[elfin kayak]

battle mode needs nso

I thought it was cross platform

[charred solstice]

bummer

no offline option?

[elfin kayak]

there is one thankfully

aaand it doesnt seem to give exp

I’m used to sonic games launching badly at this point

My god, why do they keep insisting on using denuvo

@edgy radish >||It's actually based on a scrapped zone||

is it what i think it is??

||sonic cd r2||

||Press Factory is a better Wacky Workbench at least for act 1||

||the second act is good too, has an interesting gimmick to it||

[elfin kayak]

||I didn't play Trip mode yet||

[little quiver]

I see the Digital Artbook has final boss stuff in it
wonder when someone will actually rip the stuff from it

[edgy radish]

||HTTYD dragon designs||

||The mechs are literally marketable toys||

[edgy radish]

||btw what happened to the 12th zone?||

||There's technically 11 here ||

[ebon solar]

||iirc 12th zone is supposed to just be the dragon fight||

[elfin kayak]

||its the hub||

[ebon solar]

oh ||the hub? mb||

[edgy radish]

that counts?

||Is it like that internally or?||

[elfin kayak]

probably, could be what pallaris said

[edgy radish]

||The amount of 1 act zones is also weird||

||I thought for Sky Temple it was supposed to be a callback to how Sky Sanctuary was 1 act only but with the other two...||

[past gazelle]

||Day 1 patch will fix music like BDSP did cope||

[mossy pulsar]

Man the Xbox release was scuffed. It says that even though I got the digital deluxe version, I don’t even have access to the digital artbook and mini soundtrack

[glass carbon]

LMAOOOOO

[lunar musk]

Live footage of Jun making the superstars soundtrack

[glass carbon]

Oh damn

||I like how this design is closer to Eggman’s depiction of it||

[dusky grove]

So ||did dragon get a name or||

[glass carbon]

Not yet lol

[charred solstice]

dragon is dragon

🐉

[glass carbon]

Lord D. Ragon

||He’s so cool||

[vital cobalt]

was watching werster absolutely shit on this boss. He is not a fan of the game lol

Design is cool though

[charred solstice]

yeah

wished you can say same for boss fight itself tho 😓

[glass carbon]

The ||Trip fourth wall break is funny but I wish it wasn’t a one shot kill lol||

[charred solstice]

||almost got flashback from last ditch attack from star dream soul os before die... 😅 ||

[glass carbon]

Okay I’m checking the Sonic News Network ||and the dragon is apparently called, "The Great Dark Dragon"||
Assuming it isn’t misinformation, I need to find where the name even came from lol

[charred solstice]

so... it's ||literally dragon|| according to that XD

[glass carbon]

Yeah basically lol

[charred solstice]

lmao

[little quiver]

I think it's conjectural

[reef anvil]

Trip concept art

||She really looks like an Archie character ngl||

[elfin kayak]

||trip story|| level design is not fun

[little quiver]

||probably requiring up to the 6th Emerald and stuff too is oof (and not telling you before it first comes up)||

[elfin kayak]

||im just cheesing it with super trip||

||planning to beat the purple death dragon today||

technically I'll beat superstars in one day lmao

[little quiver]

lol nice

[spring shoal]

|| They tryna be Mega Mashtooth so bad.||

[next whale]

i wonder if sega ||secretly hates spyro because he became the speedy mascot platform of the mid 90s when sonic was abstent in the saturn era and that is why the final boss is a purple dragon lol||

[little quiver]

||I doubt it||

||dragons are just cool man (and Trip is a dragon too)||

[glass carbon]

||Plus purple is usually used for antagonistic characters lol||

[spring shoal]

|| The End||

[little quiver]

||and darkness; Super Trip is more yellow which is used more for light||

[next whale]

||i was joking lol||

||btw, i know the game is vague with lore but i think trip is the last of her species, they were warriors that used the emeralds to seal this dragon (her armor is old warrior armor, you find some of that armor in the jungle act-sonic) and what i get is that the dragon was a sungazer that got evil power to became super||

[gloomy terrace]

||hm
Last of species
Defending something that can summon a ancient evil

[little quiver]

||10/10 game totally no flaws ||

[spring shoal]

|| 60$ game.||

[gloomy terrace]

||Looks more like a handheld game that would be $30
Not a $60 game||

[next whale]

you know ||i ok with 2d games being 60 as long they are polish, fun and functional, the whole 60dll 2d games being too steep is a dumb argument...this game doesnt deserve being 60 thought||

[spring shoal]

looking at more videos, sometimes you just end up here after leaving the shop, idk exact conditions

[little quiver]

okay supposedly it's specifically when going to shop after completing one of those fruit stages lol

[next whale]

the geek critique (a super ultra sonic fan) is playing atm and he ||just got a glich that almost spoiled the last level||

||he is playing the steam version||

[spring shoal]

Lmao

[little quiver]

assuming this is the one I just posted about lol

[vital cobalt]

what does he think of the game so far lol

[next whale]

he is liking it alot

he has been playing well ||using the emerald powers on bosses like a smart person unlike us||

[little quiver]

I mean most people have

[next whale]

||i never used them lol i forgot i had them until the final eggman boss, where it makes the second phase a cake walk||

he finally complained ||he is in the desert level boss ||

[deep sigil]

I can grab the worthwhile ones in a min hold up

gg

||everything was so abrupt i didnt understand a single thing from the story||

6.5/10

[spring shoal]

|| There’s no explanation for anything and it sucks.||

[little quiver]

||not even a name for the purple dragon||

||or any of the bosses really I guess||

[next whale]

i mean ||classic games never had like namedrops for bosses...we only know what a death egg robot is called because generations||

||and i dont think advance 1 or 2 had names for the final bosses neither||

[little quiver]

||true, but that was a long time ago, and at least could have put it in artbook or something lol||

[spring shoal]

|| Advance 1 and 2 at least had good stories.||

[next whale]

||what story? ||

[spring shoal]

[next whale]

the geek critique finish the main campain ||he loves it...but tbf he loves unfair difficult games and sonic a little too much...kinda like gamescage but not loud at all||

@vital cobalt watching that werster video now and damn you’re right he’s tearing this game a new one

[vital cobalt]

LMAO he is very passionate about his opinions

[olive meteor]

damn it's kinda sad bc he was playing so much sonic beforehand too

he was probably playing in anticipation of superstars 😭

oh actually it looks like he just plays a lot of sonic in general lol

[glossy lava]

he thought it was gonna be mid beforehand and still felt let down

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/scaredsim-jack-black-school-of-rock-rock-academy-rage-gif-20219824

Oh shit its a rant

This is gonna be good

[spring shoal]

can relate

Knuckles fans are not eating this year

[sturdy haven]

I’m kinda bitter that tgc is just covering sonic stuff now. Like there’s nothing wrong with doing what he loves but I’m just not into listening to hours of critiquing secret rings

Loved his Metroid videos

[spring shoal]

who

[next whale]

the game critique

he has always be a sonic fan and sega believer

he mostly does sonic´s essays and he is maybe one of the best sonic critics, he loves sonic but he is willing to critique the games

at times he does DK too, but we havent seen DK yet

and he does metroid essays too

he actually gonna release a 2-parter soon, about metroid dread

he just said it while playing superstar on stream. SPOILERS ||he loves the game, but he loves all sonic games first time playing, would take some time before a more critical look at the game||

[sturdy haven]

Okay that’s awesome, good to know.

[next whale]

a friend got so angry at ||trip´s final boss|| he just deleted the game

[vital cobalt]

LMAO

[spring shoal]

How's he going to get a refund
