Sonic can only watch as Longclaw heroically prepares to make a final stand against the approaching echidnas before the portal closes, cutting him off from her, leaving him all alone and frightened of living on his own on a strange new world with no familiar faces there to support him. She then instructs him to take her bag of Gold Rings and head through the portal so he can live safely in a world oblivious to his existence. Unfortunately, Longclaw is shot down from the sky by an arrow by one of them, so she uses a golden warp ring to open a portal to Earth and tells Sonic that as long as others know about his power, he will always be in danger by those seeking to take it. Sonic expressed confidence that he was moving too fast to be seen, but Longclaw notices that echidna tribesmen have surrounded her house and grabs the hedgehog as she takes flight in an attempt to escape. One day, Sonic raced across his island home to bring Longclaw a flower, much to the owl's chagrin, as she feared he might have been followed.
He possessed a great power which gave him super speed, but also made him a target for a tribe of echidnas that sought to take his power for themselves. Or at least some cameos from them, like the sega characters.Sonic was born on an unnamed planet where he spent his childhood living under the watchful eye of an anthropomorphic owl named Longclaw. Sackboy? <.<Īlso, a comic character as an unlockable bonus (maybe a pre-order bonus character?). Master Chief? Conker maybe? And OF COURSE. The arena/battle mode levels could be from different SEGA games. Some SEGA characters should be made playable while a LOT of them could be hidden in the tracks as easter eggs, doing their business. It can be done seamlessly, this is the PS4! A track based on a Sonic CD level that features the time travel gimmick. Metropolitan Highway (that's the name of the white city level?) would be rad. And one set in a Sonic Forces level because God knows people are gonna be pissed if Mania is represented but Forces not. A track set in an original Sonic Mania level. Throw in an awesome remix and some Crazy Taxi references and were good. Now, I know, City Escape, it's been done before, but c'mon, racing in San Francisco is always exciting, those hills, the bridge. Boom!Sonic as the secret ultimate unlockable character just for the lulz. Eggman's track should be Scrap Brain, Launch Base or another level that isn't Death Egg for the 10th time. Also I wanna see Classic Amy in 3D, ok? And race with a Sonic that rellies on cool animations instead of one liners. Also, as far as I know (not a huge Mario fan, correct if I'm wrong please), but only Baby Mario is actually canon (SMW2), all the other babies are just "there", while Classic Sonic and co. If people can swallow Baby Mario, Luigi, Peach, I don't see a problem. Classic characters playable (Sonic, Tails, Knux, Eggman AND Amy). Because YES, Heavy Rider was born for this. I was going to say Mighty and Ray, but they're no longer so forgotten! Give us "THE BOYS, THOSE DUDES®" Fang, Bark and Bean. Forgotten characters made playable, not just the new ones.
A track that's a remake of some Sonic Drift or Sonic R track because that would be a totally awesome and sweet homage. A track set on Angel Island AS A WHOLE, with segments of almost every zone from Sonic 3. Let's just pray they go all out with this one, diging the Sonic world as deep as the SEGA world. Yep, and it's the clever kind of reference/idea I expect Sumo to pull off. Sonic Racing is too basic, Super Sonic Racing sounds rad as hell and is a callback to Sonic R which fits in with the "R" reference in the logo The most interesting thing is the question mark zone there's something obscuring both the G and the bottom emblem wing (notice with the R that the letters of RACING align underneath the wing, but the mystery shadow is completely over it).Īlso I guess I'll put this out just to make it clear if you see anyone try to insist it'll be a classic racer (whether seriously or for "lol modern sonic is dead" memes), just remind yourself that they wouldn't show off Classic Sonic stuff with a highly detailed and three dimensional image of a headlight.Ĭalling it now, it's gonna be called Super Sonic Racing. It could be a simple direct angle down from the top to the bottom or, based on the angle of the bottom, it could have a bit of tapering down there. Shield shape has two possibilities based on the angles seen. I don't think it's a mystery what that word is.
The letters that can be made out at maximum exposure (aka when the R is glowing) are the top of A, a bit of the top of C, a bit of the bottom of N and the bottom of G. Obviously the wings are based on the usual Sonic emblem. Mostly straight forward, a couple of interesting points.
