It's a shame because Pocket Adventure quite honestly blows them out of the water, it's really impressive for what it is. (Though admittedly, it's a 16-bit system as opposed to the 8-bit Game Gear, but still.)

Fun fact about that mobile Unleashed game, the stage graphics for Apotos got used for a custom level in Sonic Mania, which I THINK was reconstrued as a Water Palace level. Which is made funnier by another Rush 3D, another fangame, also connecting Apotos to Water Palace (literally, it bleeds from the Unleashed stage into a remade Water Palace and it's so cool). Funny how that happened twice. Those background assets had no right being that good for a J2ME game.

10:34 Actually, there is now Fang the Hunter for a name. Sega says the constant name changes is probably just so he could better avoid the law due to being a wanted Jerboa/wolf hybrid.

The Tails games have been referenced quite a lot in the comics. Even did a similar joke with Dr Fukurukov.

Certain aspects of Sonic Runners still sounds like a fever dream. Mainly because of the fact that you could unlock and play as *Mephiles the Dark* and have him glide alongside Erazor Djinn and Reala. Yeah, so for a long time Sonic Runners was given "soft-launch" release meaning a select few folks would get the chance to play the game early before its official global release. However, during the soft-launch tons of events were underway, some of which were actually crossover events either promoting a specific SEGA game at the time or celebrating the anniversary of a specific SEGA series. While some events *did* get repeats, others didn't. Meaning some of the buddies you could unlock from those events were permanently unavailable. This goes double for specific characters. Throughout Sonic Runners life more and more playable characters were added. Some were reskins, others were brand new to the game. The game itself followed the Sonic Heroes formula with three class types and each character fitting those types with varying reasonablity. Speed type characters had a triple jump and typically are the more balanced class type compared to other class types. Power type characters had a dash attack followed by an extra jump, a bit unruly at times but the only class that could break super badniks and special blocks/walls that often act as obstacles requiring non power type characters to either launch out of a cannon or via Rainbow Rings or to avoid all together, failure to do so results in the current run ending. Fly type characters could fly/float in the air for a limited time, allowing access to routes other class types would struggle to get to. The class type goes double for both buddies and stages. The effects a buddy had would become better when used with a character of the same type. Aside from special stages, each of the main stages were tailored to a specific class type. Windy Hill = Speed type, Sky Road = Fly Type and Lava Mountain = Power type. While it is possible to use other types in each stage, doing so made the stage a bit more challenging due to the unique jump/attributes each class type has. On top of main class type each character as a sub-class that dictates what bonuses each character had. There were eight sub-classes for each character. Hero, Dark, Chaotix, Rose, Mech, Easy, Wild and Future. Like previous mentioned, Sonic Runners had crossover events that happened during the soft-launch. The following crossover events were the following. Fantasy Star Online 2, PuyoPuyo!!, NiGHTS into Dreams and Fantasy Zone. Other events allowed you to earn previous characters and items from the Sonic series either as playable characters or buddies and were given special hidden bonuses/properties only active during those specific events. Some time *way* after the game's cancellation fans revived it under the name "Sonic Runners Revival" which is still under active development to try and add back previous events and features that no longer function. The game is up and running and can be played right now, don't get me wrong. But it's pretty obvious there are still some things missing. On top of restoring old events certain things were changed like character sub-types and their bonuses. Example; Cream the Rabbit, Big the Cat and the initial release of Silver the Hedgehog were all given the sub-class "Easy", making playing the game much more easier (duh) by reducing the game's speed by 10% but cuts the total score by 20% as a tradeoff, because of this drawback it made them extremely unreliable during daily battles and the main campaign back in the day. Both Cream and Big were changed to the Rose sub-class while the first release of Sliver was changed to Future in an update making it possible to use two different versions of Silver at the same time without needing to worry about the score being cut by 20% during each run.

Been meaning to catch up on all the handheld Sonic games for years now. Just never get around to them.

The "2.5D platformer fighting game" formula is something that no other game has ever tried, and I don't know why, it's such an interesting and novel concept that you'd think someone would've done a game based off of it by now, vastly improving it by polishing the (many) rough spots it had in Sonic Battle, and adding more depth to it, because I can see a lot of potential to be exploited there.

BTW the very first version of Sonic Jump has a proper story, and it's apparently canon, also because it was designed around a phone keypad it was quite fun to play and the music was catchy... because that seems to be the only constant in this franchise.

As I said, the mere fact that they managed to make them work without having to sacrifice much content or features while having them run in a wide variety of phones with very different hardware capabilities was kinda remarkable at the time, many mobile ports back then were complete trash or incredibly light in content and/or gameplay. I wouldn't go back to play them nowadays because there's better alternatives, the Christian Whitehead ports are so incredibly superior that by comparison they're laughable, but back then it was the best a phone could offer. It's all about context. And Sonic Jump was actually fun to play, there's a reason why they kept porting that one to newer phones for years. Although they did lose the Sonic Advance/Sonic X inspired art style in later versions, and with it its mid 2000's charm.

Ty for acknowledging Race To Win AntDude very cool

I like the random refrences to archie that are just, only barely correct (like yeah, classic amy and rosey the rascal do look similar... but they are just not the same)

Speaking of Stealth and Taxman, I incidentially bore witness to the ENTIRE JOURNEY of getting Amy Rose playable in the classic games and the the inevitable return of Fang the JERBOA (Sniping's a good job, mate!). From the Mystical Forest Zone fourms to Sonic Retro, it was a very long road for the rascal to be playable again in any official capacity. Murder was also technically her game too, since you are helping her and Tails the entire time solve the mystery of Sonic's seemingly untimely demise.

So you know how sonic superstars is introducing a new character Trip? Well along with fang returning and eggman, that's 3 villains like triple trouble. And also: "Trip" le trouble. So clever I love it.

0:21 Wrong Rosy the Rascal image. That’s Anti-Amy from the Archie Sonic series.

Fang has to be Sonic's most underutilised villain. His encounters in Triple Trouble were so memorable and unlike any other bossfights in the series due to him sabotaging his own schemes and usually fighting Sonic on a malfunctioning machine. For a brief moment in time, he really did seem like a regular among the cast, as much as Amy or Metal Sonic. Then after the 90's, nothing. Sonic Team would create redundant characters like Johnny, and also give Shadow a realistic gun and vehicles (despite guns and vehicles being Fang's whole thing). They had plenty of opportunities to bring him back, like in Sonic Generations for DS, or Sonic Forces, or even Team Sonic Racing, considering his appearance in Sonic Drift 2, and his love of the Marvellous Queen airbike. He could've brought Bark and Bean with him, and made them an actual canonical trio, instead of just a couple of throwaway characters from a fighting game. There was the Mania cameo, but... it wasn't really him, and it was one cameo having to share the spotlight with a bunch of others. Hardly the comeback this character deserved. So yeah, you can imagine how happy I was to see Fang returning in a brand new mainline Sonic game as a major villain. Hopefully he's here to stay, and it means we'll eventually get to see a modern redesign of the character in a new fully-3D Sonic game.
