That's pretty much everybody playable (or soon to be playable) in Sonic Jump, so I'd say that's legit
Now that I see it plainly in front of me, we certainly don't need that many :V

Sorry. She's only just above wildcard status, and I'd switch her with Metal Sonic except he bounces back and forth between NPC and playable character.
If we're getting characters, we're getting all the characters, or else people start bitching about not being able to run around as Silver. Sega's in a tough spot in that regard.
I figure they'd break down into having various types of abilities mixed and matched, e.g. Boost/Flight/Climbing/Gliding/Power Attack/Ranged Attack/whatever. Everyone gets a unique set of two or three.
Still a massive level design challenge though.

Time to abandon Gaming side and go...outside...or go play games. Play some Mario Land 2 folks.

Wario Land 1 is kind of disappointing as I don't like its physics at all, Wario Land 2 on the other hand is a game i'll champion, a collectathon platformer done right.

Wario Land 3 = 2 > 1 > 4
I can never decide between 2 and 3 as my favorite.

That boss upset me when I was 11 years old, it took me a few tries to beat it then. Nice challenge.
Is it the toughest boss in the game?
I would say so, but the last boss can be a little tricky too.

I stopped replaying the ambassador copy because that git was ruining my perfect treasure run, how the hell do you kill the guy before the time limit drops low enough that my precious treasure gets taken away?
This is funny though because earlier I was going to make a post about this exact boss as I ranked the series but decided against it but now I know that someone else shares my pain.

It's like Wario Land 4 just not as hard, it's the birth of that type of gameplay. It has a lot of destruction, though, let me tell you.
My faves are Land 4 and Land 2. Land 1 is amazing too.
Wario Land 3 is almost a completely different type of game in every way, you can see my impressions in the posts on the first page.

I want Captain Syrup in a main Mario game.
More likely than Waluigi starring in a non-party game.

Wow, I think I've had enough of Gaming Side for one day.
Edit: oh yeah, on topic. I'll believe the rumour when I see it.
I dunno. I'd rather them go slowly in terms of character inclusion as opposed to throwing in a buncha characters. It makes me feel a little uneasy.
I haven't been around long enough to know how things were before, but after that thread, I'm so glad that this one is as mellow as it is. You guys rock.

Kokonoe's description is pretty apt. You're at a starting point, and have to reach an ending point. These ending points differ between the two.
In Wario Land 2, it's just a door (or a boss, depending on the level); reaching it (and in the latter case, beating it) will finish the stage. However, there are sometimes two doors out of a given stage; going to the hidden one opens up a secret world (not just one level, usually, but like five of them in a row). There are, like, five (I think?) different endings to the game that you can reach - one from just going straight through the normal exits, and several others you reach from those secret worlds.
Wario Land 3, on the other hand, has you finding a colored key somewhere in the level, and then opening a treasure chest of the same color. There are four key/chest pairs in each level (grey, red, green, blue). You generally cannot get all of them your first time around; you have to find certain treasures in other stages to alter the level design of earlier ones, opening new paths up. On top of that, most of Wario's arsenal of moves are missing, and you have to gradually re-earn them; this also opens up new paths in past levels. Eventually, you'll get the five Macguffins the mysterious figure in the opening sequence sends you after (five special music boxes), and thus unlock the final boss fight. I suppose your mileage may vary on how fun that is, but I actually kinda like it; it's basically a stage-based Metroid game starring Wario, and my favorite in the series.
You cannot die; any hit just sends you flying uncontrollably backward (and losing some coins in Wario Land 2, which are needed to play the minigames for 100% completion). Typically, that's enough to send you further back in the stage than you'd like to be, which turns out to be a surprisingly adequate punishment in lieu of potential death. However, this game puts focus on Wario getting hit by very specific types of attacks, which transform him into various forms required to reach certain areas or solve certain puzzles. Wario Land 4 kept the transformation concept, but added in a health bar for better or worse (didn't really change much, I suppose).
Also, both games are much, much longer than WL4 is, honestly.

From what I heard (because I got approved around the time Generations was announced), before Generations was announced, it was even worse. Frankly, I'm very annoyed with it and I know Sonic threads on Gaming Side should progress better than that and leave out the silly posts.
Community Thread just has the people who kept turning the various Generations announcement threads into community threads anyway, haha.

Yeah, I'd love to see Treasure take another crack it it. Though to be fair, there's a lot of stuff I'd like to see them work on.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I'd rather them ease into including character variety rather than going all in. They run the risk of screwing up big time with the latter.

If they seemed to rush the tail end of Generations with wonky boss design and other various issues, that's why I'm a little worried. Generations seemed to have been accepted by many people as being a nicely-designed game despite its shortcomings at the end.
But... the games with a giant cast of characters to control have lately been "love-'em-or-hate-'em". They aren't really for everyone. Designing something incredibly complex right now doesn't seem to be in their best interests, and I feel like just including Tails, Knuckles, and one other person would be adequate.

Give him bombs.
Not fake ring bombs. Bombs. If he could do it in Tails Adventures then he can do it now.

You know i'm going to be pretty blunt here, those Sonic threads have improved and the current one isn't in a bad state at all, the few anti-sonic sentiments that pop up in them are not only in the minority but are no different to inflammatory remarks for most other franchises in threads here on Gaf and not unique to Sonic threads alone.
It almost feels that some of you curl up into a protective ball like a hedgehog itself the moment one person goes "them crazy Sonic fans am I right?".

I was only upset at a certain poster who likes generalizing people who wants a Classic Sonic game as Modern Sonic haters. He also has the tendency to show words into people's mouths, it is frankly really damn irritating. Not to mention I have a bit of a history with that poster (especially in Sonic 4 threads).
But other than that, I agree that it's been improving.

I think we're finally out of the shadow of the Sonic Cycle, anyway. People dared to dream that Generations would be good after the promising debut and how good Colours was, but there was still a few Sonic Cycle comments.
None at all this time- seems like we're well into the "third age" of Sonic.

Well, to be fair, at least they no longer descend into madness like they used to. I think I remember the one thread where people kept bringing up the Sonic Cycle and a bunch of us got ticked off that the meme finally got generalized to every Sonic game as opposed to a "type" of Sonic game.
But no, it's not as bad as it was before.
Speaking of which, that Monolith Soft vs Square-Enix thread is a hoot.

You know I'm smarter than that! Plus I no longer have an imagination.
You would have to talk about how you hug a specific plushie on a consistent basis and post photos of those plushies and discuss your undying cuddle passion with the character as well on a consistent basis to get to the point where you create two threads about wanting to be an animal for the world to see.

what.
This is one of the many things I've seen in PokeGAF. Also, that is the second thread that person has made on this subject, last time it was wanting to be a dragon.
