A bullshit toddler collab isn't gonna kill my faith in the series but it will in collab decisions and rumble itself, sucks cause the new party rumble mode is fun amd a lot better than the main game modes but they killed any interest in this game so hard with these childish humillation ritual crossover collabs

We should have got rid of the Archie secondaries who started focusing on everything but the games which led to Ian Flynn doing his stupid references, which led to Sonic Boom and then that stupid Sonic Twitter, and you get the idea. Some people even humored Sonic moving away from games and focusing on supplemental material instead.

Too much 'fun' is a bad thing.

Sonic when it gets down to it is a franchise for kids. It's like Nintendo, the non mainline Mario is basically a preschool franchise at this point. I could not imagine as an adult sitting down to watch either the Mario or Sonic movie unless I watched it with my niece in a few years or something. And if it's the crossover appeal you're worried about, Care Bears and the colorful horse one are two franchises that have long had a good 30-40% of their audience be boys. It's small but they're there and probably would like this

All the Sonic franchise has to do is collab with Dragon Ball, and you guys will shut up for decades.
>>
>>735502153
The fact that you actually tried to justify this collab speaks for itself. Sonic and Mario today are a shadow of their former selves, Sonic yeah, but Mario as of recent really has fallen from grace. I don't get why they can't see that older Mario wasn't just for kids, but for adults too. An adult will have a blast trying to beat the later levels of a Mario platformer, at least pre-NSMB anyway and Sonic 1 alone has mechanics that a lot of kids didn't understand initially, making it more rewarding for adults who learn it. You can have an IP that appeals to everyone without talking down to your audience.

Older Mario being for everyone is still around. It's just that they found that making a separate definable niche of Mario clearly for kids under 10 makes a shitload of money. Which one would you rather have, one 3D Mario game a decade or all of the money from Mario toys and movie streaming rights? To Nintendo the actual main Mario titles are basically premium products for adults. Moreso because you just know the Switch 2 3D Mario game will be $80. No parent is buying that shit plus a $550 console for their kid that likes Mario or Peach, just get them a $20 plushie and throw on the movie again.

Sonic Rumble is literally a baby game made for children. The entire game has a cutesy sanitized toybox aesthetic, similar to that "Sonic and Friends" series on youtube aimed at pre-schoolers.

We are way past the honeymoon phase of Mania and looking at it now it’s half a nostalgia fest and half an original game. But it consisting of mostly old levels is what drags it down. The Advance Trilogy did not have this problem and are thus more fondly remembered.

Spongebob's 3D platformers, on average, are better videogames than Sonic's 3D platformers.
Sonic isn't even as cool as Kirby, he never has been, the final boss of his first game is a boss rush that ends in a boxing ring, meanwhile Sonic's dealing with Act 4 of Labyrinth Zone.
How about Crash? Do Japan prefer Sonic after Crash Bandicoot has sucked dick for most of his life? Nope, they still prefer Crash to Sonic.
Even Bubsy is doing better these days. Bubsy. Fucking BUBSY. Yeah, all but one of his games are dogshit, but the one good game is turning his reputation around and it actually figured out rolling momentum on the first fucking try.

Sega don't just want Sonic to be better than Mr. Videogame himself, they're already convinced that he is better and everyone else is wrong.

>You can have an IP that appeals to everyone without talking down to your audience.
The market has changed and so did the design philosophy of video games. Kids are bad at video games and Wonder is designed to be beatable for them, to hold their attention before they get too frustrated with one death too many and switch to one of the million other means of entertainment they have instant access to.
Besides, Mario was always perceived as a kids franchise. That image is hard to avoid for a game about a brightly colored plumber making 10 feet tall jumps in a mushroom land. The gameplay might be there, but it's the coat dressing that's the problem and you literally cannot fix that without decimating the identity of the series.

It's such a dire future for gaming when crossover stuff like this is what big corpos and companies consider to be necessary for a healthy IP/series. It's all just advertisements and hyping players up to see advertisements. At least SEGA All-Stars is consistent in *flavour*, in that they're all just SEGA stuff (even though we did get Yogscast et al.). Fortnite has ushered in a decade where paid advertisements are now considered "content" regardless of artistic intent.

It's laughable.

Sunset Hill in Advance 3was the only time a Green Hill callback felt special because the fact that it’s a sunset means that the Advance 3 could’ve been the last game with a green hill call back, like closing the door in a chapter if that makes sense. Sonic Battle and SA2 are honorable mentions.

While the promotion might seem out of place by Sonic standards, thematically it works. What's far FAR more important is how they pull it off. Rule of Cool is needed to be done for this to work in a Super! Sonic style and not just visually but sound wise too, and the Sonic games always excelled in it. Hopefully they can live and learn enough to do it imaginatively.

Not really because the level design for it is mostly different, you're basically just complaining about aesthetic.

If they were you would have realised how reliant they are on nostalgia too.
Hell the first two bosses on the second to last stage of Advance 1 are the first bosses from sonic 1 and 2. Not to mention Neo Green Hill and Angel Island are both stages in it.
On the topic of Green Hill you have Sunset Hill in 3 and, well, just listen to the music.

What are you even talking about? None of that has to do with Archie you schizo. All of this happened pretty much because of dark age shit and then 06 finally set the DEFINITIVE downfall for Sonic that we're still enduring though.

I don't think it's out of character, i just think is embarrassing because the Care Bears have been failing miserably into coming back into to the mainstream since 86, and Sega already has Angry Birds to push out as a washed out franchise on this game
If Hello Kitty or even something like Garfield and Thomas the Tank Engine appeared in the game i would say "Ok! This still has some relevancy-cred, Sega could not afford to say no", but fucking care bears? If they included a character like Ronald McDonald, i would think that Sega are sell-outs, which i already know. If they included the Burguer King, i would think they are sell-out AND desperate. With Care Bears i think they are even lower than that

Even assuming this guy is telling the truth and not just doing a bit, this isn't exactly damning evidence.

We’re never gonna move past the “Rough Transition to 3D” meme are we?

I feel like other franchises deserve that mockery more.

Lets not forget Megaman being a Skank of a Franchise with its Collabs too.

This is fucking stupid. It is bad enough Sonic shilled SpongeBob.

Is Sonic going to crossover with Barbie next? Or MLP? Or Flintstones?

Honestly hit the nail on the head, and this coming from a guy who grew up with Care Bears (had some of the movies on VHS and sisters watched the show). CB has been doing it's dammest to reach the same height they had back in the 80s, even trying to get it's own spark with Unlock the Magic which came out in 2019, clearly trying to get the same audience FIM had. Surprise, the show didn't get that same spark and ended in 2024, with this crossover seemingly the only thing they got going right now.

That's how I see it. Is it silly? Yes, but most crossovers are. So long as the mainline games are good (Superstars and Frontiers were decent) we're good. Plus, it's clear that Sega is flexing thanks to the movies being the box office bangers that they are, all the money and now eyes on the IP are getting people with equivalent relevancy or lower (that target or have somewhat of a same demographic) to notice them and want to partner up.
And while Fortnite is more popular than Sonic, if a crossover were to happen, it will clearly be done for the "meme" potential.
