Rev Up Those Sonic Cycles

[Rökkan]

He does have a point. Aside from Speed Highway and maybe Twinkle Park, the other Sonic levels were already pretty much done in the past. Hence the competition.

But we have to consider what came AFTER Sonic Adventure as well. Until SA2 came out, Speed Highway was unique, but it became less unique after the likes of City Escape and Radical Highway came around.

...lol Radical/Speed Highway

um


Starlight Zone and Stardust Speedway did it before Speed Highway, just fyi.

Twinkle Park was more or less done by Carnival Night and Speed Slider, but they're all completely different levels - the thematic is similar but explored in completely different ways.


Plus, if SEGA is really worried about representing different thematics, we wouldn't have two city stages, and probably a third, yeah? It's more about popularity and being recognizable, representing different reoccouring thematics comes shortly after that.

Also, a little thing you guys might have not noticed yet:

You do know that Sonic Generations' Motobug, Chopper and Buzz Bomber are the same than Sonic Colors' right?

Sonic Colors was in development in parallel with Sonic Generations (maybe a bit before or a bit after), that means that those badniks were actually originally made for Generations, but re-used in Colors, which to me is the most logical explanation to why they used those old badniks instead of jamming in some unoriginal Egg Pawn-ish robots.


So, what are the other classic badniks present in Sonic Colors? I was going to list them, but I found an even better image.



These not only have the badniks present in Sonic Colors, but also others made for a toy set in celebration of Sonic's 20 years that might appear on Generations (the GUN robot, and the Grabber from Chemical Plant Zone)

Aside from the GHZ badniks and those I just noted, you have the Spiny from Chemical Plant Zone, Jawz from Hydrocity Zone, and what could be both a Catakiller (Sonic 1, Marble and Scrap Brain and Sonic 3D Blast, Green Grove) and a Sandworm (Sandopolis Zone). Thus confirming Hydrocity and Chemical Plant even further - not so keen on Sandopolis (though it'd be rad), there were lots of similar caterpillar enemies on the Sonic series, plus, the way he attacks on Colors isn't anywhere similar as the Catakiller or the Sandworm, but it is probable that maybe the Sonic & Knuckles zone might be actually it!
