Look, at this point there's enough massive, dedicated Sonic fans across Craig Of The Creek, OK KO and Mania Adventures that there must be some chance of making the most perfect Sonic cartoon.
So glad I was able to post these before SEGA Forever passed on.
The original screenshot assets for the game, seen in many magzines, now out in their original size!
Something extra special today!

pondered "What would an OK KO game look like if it was made in the 90's?"
I decided to find out.
Introducing 'OK KO Must Break Into Boxmore'.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania no longer uses lives, making the game less frustrating to newcomers (though still challenging)! 🍌

Today's update, looking at what I had done previously to turn 'Radical City' into 'Studiopolis'. Today was turning the flashing lights into TV animations!
@SAGExpo
@BlazeHedgehog
Back on 'Sonic R Mania'. This time - Reactive Factory to Chemical Plant Zone!
I initially had some difficulty figuring out the core ground texture as the shiny metal needed something to contrast off of. Then I remembered Death Egg uses most of Chemical Plant's sprites!
@SAGExpo
This weekend I've spent trying to finish up Radical City -> Studiopolis. Also, started looking at replacing all the SFX (Thanks
@BlazeHedgehog
) to the Mania ones, and messing with the UI to bring it closer to Mania.
Haven't worked on this for a few weeks. Made a few interesting changes to Radical City to Studiopolis. Sorted out the main structure, switched the mountain to be an "in development" area. Hard to spot how some textures work sometimes.
Before there was Sonic Origins, there was the Sonic & Knuckles collection on PC!
Did you play this version, complete with MIDI music? 🔵🔴
#SEGAForeverForever
Worked more on Radical City -> Studiopolis a bit more, but also started looking at switching Regal Ruin to Hydrocity, a very different visual, but best Mania stage that can deal with the Knuckles statues, I feel.

I remember Tina Turner being pretty big in Australia growing up. I wonder if the Duet version of (Simply) The Best with Jimmy Barnes made it over to the US.
@ChrispyPixels
Yeah the Elder Koco decision is quite bizarre. Considering the Hermit is automatic, not doing the same for the Elder Koco is bizarre. Or at least have a left / right thing, or just speed the whole thing up entirely.
Starting 'Sonic Fan Games HQ' in the late 90's, a community which still thrives today, had a massive impact on game creators today, Sonic or otherwise, and really started a lot of the sprite edits you still see today. So much has come out of the community of that site.
Getting the VHS player back into shape for my Dad. Found my original taping of the Australian showing of ‘Grandpa Vs Sexual Inadequecy’ Simpsons episode, and there were some very big cuts!

Previously I was choosing between makign Regal Ruin either Mirage Salloon or Hydrocity. I decided to move more to Salloon since there's just more to work with, and fits with the 'Mania' theme more. Did a lot more work on switching more textures this time around.

I initially couldn't think of what to turn Radiant Emerald into, and then someone suggested Egg Reverie! Of course, duh.
In this instance, the background is a big mashup of backgrounds from special stages, since ERZ is pretty basic.
Astal was first unleashed on the Saturn in Japan 27 years ago today! 💎
"Astal was one of those magic gaming moments for me, a stunning and unique creation that was just so SEGA! I hope fans enjoy this tribute piece."

I’m now actually intrigued — how many Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog VHS releases came out in Australia?
This was the initial 7 VHS run, based on the inside of one of the cases. These were released in 1993.
