Sonic Heroes is probably the only game in the series I can convince myself not to play at the last minute (as opposed to starting and immediately regretting it). I don't even think it's horrible; it's decent, but with some major annoyances.
 
Well Power could be kind of fun, the Fly implementation was absolutely putrid though.

I think they could do it sort of like how Sonic Adventure 2 did it...the Speed sections would be kind of traditional Sonic fare but Power characters could almost have like Dynasty Warriors kind of stages where they take on a huge amount of enemies and you get to feel like a boss destroying them all and Flight can be about exploration or flying high above in some sort of plane and taking enemies out that way.
 
So it's no longer a team up but the three different character types are used as different stage types not too dissimilar to SA2 with Speed, Mech and Treasure Hunt?
Sorry Kiddo, i'm out, I don't need no Musou in Sonic.

It's still a team concept because they'd all be encompassed in a stage each, just parts of it would have speed parts, other parts where some muscle was required and another where the skies must be protected. And the Power character wouldn't always have to fight a bunch of enemies, he could also help knock open a path for the speed guy or go hunting for stuff as well.
 
I don't remember that part but it's been years since I played Heroes so yea.

I wonder if Sonic games would ever do the Bah Bah Brothers approach and give you something akin to the Super Guide when the game wants to laugh at your ineptitude, crack open a beer with the Koopalings and point fingers at that loser with the remote who can't clear Level 1-1 because they can't hold the remote right. I think instead Sonic games should give you slow shoes so your dumb self can't get killed doing the stupidest of...whatever.

I think I love the Bahs now.

Bah Bah!

It was really only awful when I had to go through the same stages with everyone. Otherwise it was a pretty fun romp. And it had some fun music as well!
I felt the levels were way too long for my liking. I ended up getting bored of the game quite fast.


when you level up all your guys heroes becomes a lot more fun.
LEVEL UP!!!!

I forgot what exactly they do. Mind refreshing my memory?

Bah Bah!

You know Bah, the Bahing freak Bahckles.
And we're at Bahkin Hill, you Bahdy

I ain't gonna let it Bah to me, I'm just gonna Bah
Down in Bahkin Hill, I gots to find my lost Bah
I know that it's here, I can sense it in my Bah
The great Bah Bah's power allows me to Bah
I can't Bah a thing, but it's around somewhere
I'm gonna hold my Bah 'cause I have no Bah
This probably seems Bah, Bah, a graveyard theory
A Bah tried to approach me and he got Bahry
I ask Bah a question and he Bahished in a second
I'm walking through Bahleys, Bahin' Bahkins in the alley
Didn't seem happy, but they sure tried to Bah me
Had to Bah 'em up with the Bah metal crack 'em
I'm hearin' someone sayin' you a Bah Bah, don't be scared
It had to be the wind, 'cause noBahdy wasn't there
I Bah and I Bah as I Bahed up the wall
And then I started to Bah, I went in Baher



I would do more but I don't feel like copy pasting more lyrics
 

Watch Da Birdie

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet

I didn't know there were underwater segments with Baby Yoshi? Well, in the new game...there was that one Star Level (with the Blue Yoshi too!) in World underwater, but it wasn't that cool and you were basically told to eat the Star at the beginning to get Blue Adult Yoshi.

That's honestly pretty cool doing spins and swallowing foes.

I think you can take baby yoshi with you on any stage if I'm not mistaken. I found a baby yoshi in the map and it followed me :V

I haven't really played too far in the game to be sure though. I'm only at the cake world.
 
Dark Schala is Sir Nose devoid of Bah.

She can't Bah, she won't Bah!

This is no longer Sonicgaf but Parliament Funkabahbah.

I am the Bahasaraus

P-Funk ain't got nothing on Bah funk.

just makes you strong as hell

speed and flight characters can kill in one hit... essentially making the power characters slow and useless. at level 1, speed and flight are basically useless.

I remember plowing through stages with Tails at max level. Heroes was fun.
 
Who's in charge of the sound direction for the NSMB games?

Inquiring minds wish to know for undisclosed reasons.
Serious answer, I tried my best to catch the music composers during the credits for NSMBU while doing the cute little coin minigame they give you to do (got 399 coins btw). It was Mahito Yokota (Super Mario Galaxy) and some other guy. Koji Kondo was merely a supervisor.

This man can do better.

Asuka Ota did the original NSMB with Wakai and Kondo (maybe 1-2 tracks like usual), iirc, and even then I didn't like the NSMB soundtracks. It's a shame.

Speaking of soundtracks, it wasn't until I started picking tracks from it for my FF4 playthrough that I noticed how cool the PSO2 Open Beta soundtrack is. I can only imagine how great the tracks would sound if they went all-out full orchestra for everything.
 
I think Asuka Ota was the other name, actually. Considering how much music's been reused since the DS game, not a huge surprise.

And yeah, if Yokota's responsible for the orchestral masterpieces the Galaxy games have, the sheer perfunctoriness of the NSMB soundtracks is even more baffling. Still, even men with great work under their belts can phone something in...

The Bah Bahs have gotten to the point where I can only think of Francine's adoptive father on American Dad :|

In more Sonic related things, Sonic the Fighters online is just as fun as it was with a pal on Gamecube. This is the good shit I remember.

Sonic Generations got a 3MB update... anybody know what for?

Finally hatched the eggs in the SA2 Chao Garden. Fuck you fortune teller, I wanted to name my kids Charlie and Guile. Now I'll have to stick to Zack and Chaz because I can't trust you to give me a good fucking name and apparently can't name them on my own. Loose?? Fucking seriously??? Who in their right goddamn mind would name a baby ANYTHING 'Loose'? Fuck off. >:[
Though the shitty names will be useful when I buy another egg so I'll have one to abuse

OK guys I won't get into the shipping, I was mostly just messing around a little =P

We need more Sonic games with that Team mechanic.

I agree, the thing about 3D Sonic games before Colors and Generations, is that they have interesting concepts, but the execution leaves much to be desired/not done right, IMO.

Power characters level 3 combo was worth it though because explosive bubble gum and volcanic eruptions out the floor, far better than the bland ass flight attack, even at level 3 you still had to deal with their janky movement and completely non exhilarating flight control.
