The Emerald-Powered Potential Of Sonic Superstars

At this year’s Summer Game Fest, Sonic Superstars was announced alongside the release of a demo for guests, especially the Sonic supporters at the event [13] [29] [32]. Aside from a certain jerboa-wolf nicknamed “Nack the Weasel” on his Marvellous Queen being the most surprising reveal [22] [23], there is something deeply honourable about the debut of a four-player co-op mode [19] [31] [40] [41], yet it is humble to apologise for a misunderstanding regarding some resemblance to a talented fan artist’s work [27]. Strangely enough, Sonic Superstars is NOT just developed by Sonic Team. There is an alliance with Arzest. As promising as Rayman’s big return to 3D in a forthcoming DLC expansion for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope seems [5] [37], Sonic Superstars could be a sensational new chapter for the speedy blue rodent’s classic incarnation [18] [40] [41]. Since it has been almost a week since the announcement of Sonic Superstars [19] [31] [40] [41], let us discuss what else will occur throughout the experience, along with a few other aspects from the announcement trailer while cartoon cats continue to dine at an outdoor café in Campfire Cat Café and I wonder if a new customer in a future update or season event for the app could be as poetic and quirky as Rocky Rickaby from Lackadaisy and MC Skat Kat [3] [8] [10] [36] [38]. 

Welcome back to main Sonic game developing, Naoto Ohshima [27]! And have fun with the upcoming collaboration between Jet Set Radio and Roller Champions later this month, Jet Set Radio stars [4] [5]! [27]

What else is there to point out during the hype for Sonic Superstars [19] [31]? The adventure will take place in a brand new location known as “Northstar Islands” [18], which leads to new zones, including Bridge Island Zone and Speed Jungle Zone as some potentially refreshing alternatives to Green Hill Zone and Labyrinth Zone [24]. Another surprising new aspect is the introduction of a brand new character named “Trip” who will be another antagonist besides Fang the Sniper who debuted in Sonic Triple Trouble [21] [22] [28] [33]. There also appear to be 3D sprites of the four playable characters, which were previously revealed in the announcement trailer [19] [31]. Also previously revealed in the announcement trailer, the new abilities, including the one that enables Sonic to swim up waterfalls are called “Emerald” powers [18] [19] [27] [31]. Lastly, another type of special stage is in a third-person view [19] [31], quite like the moments of Modern Sonic soaring and wrecking floating panels at Starlight Carnival in the Wii version of Sonic Colours [15]. In a team, up to four Classic Sonic fans could have a blast with speeding up with the classic incarnations of Sonic the Hedgehog, Kilometres…ummmm…I mean Miles “Tails” Prower [20] [30], Knuckles the Echidna and Amy Rose (who can strive in her modern outfit for subscribers of the promotional website, which could look like a fusion of Classic Amy and Modern Amy) [18] [19] [31] [40] [41].

I wonder how this mysterious figure will react to Sage from Sonic Frontiers [16]. They will work for Dr. Eggman, formerly known as “Dr. Robotnik” and could be Fang’s new partner in crime [17] [27] [33]. [28]

The potential of Sonic Superstars could soon level up with the release of a second trailer revealing a little more [19] [31]. Can you imagine if Sister Sonic and Super Sonic Sisters were never cancelled back in the ‘90s [2] [25] [26]? Those would have resulted in an RPG series starring Sonic’s twin sister, along with their cousins Monica and Isabelle appearing in any of the comics from Archie and IDW Publishing [25] [26]. Nonetheless, let us count this forthcoming blessing known as “Sonic Superstars” [17] [19] [31]. And why not establish a Tamagotchi Nano starring Sonic the Hedgehog eventually, considering the ambitious amount of Tamagotchi Nano crossovers from 2017 to this year, from Eevee from the Pokémonfranchise to the loveable toys from the Toy Story franchise to Hatsune Miku [34]. As stylish as three new covers for the PlayStation 5 and the forthcoming carbon black Xbox Series X|S console look and as futuristically surreal browsing the internet with the Apple Vision Pro would seem in early 2024 [1] [12] [42], Sonic Superstars could be the next big step in cherishing Classic Sonic’s timelessness this Autumn [19] [31] [40] [41]. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to stay hidden in this cardboard box in honour of the 15th anniversary of the Metal Gear Solid franchise [11].

Toxicity and drama in a community can be utterly aggravating but let us keep spreading kindness during Loneliness Week [7] [9] [35] [39]. I know I will as I wait for the next episode of Helluva Boss [6] [14]. [31]

A Wholesome Trio Of Upcoming Creative Casual Games

Did my fellow gamers have a splendid Western Easter [7] [8] [25]? As much as I adore the new light blue heart emoji after updating to iOS 16.4 [23], I adore the concepts of the three upcoming casual games with notably different premises [2] [50] [54] [57] [58] [62]. I have a fondness for casual games with wholesome premises, such as growing plants, practising gratefulness and showing kindness by writing thoughtful letters to others in Kinder World [27] [28] [29] [30] [33], which is what I would recommend to someone like Stolas from Helluva Boss [14] [15] [16] [17] [35] [37]. As adorable as Ashley Graham is as a mouse within a meme regarding her improved portrayal in the remake of Resident Evil 4 and amazing as Princess Elise from Sonic ’06 is as a figure skater on a 2023 calendar from Sonic Channel after almost seventeen years of her absence [32] [41] [51] [52] [63], the three forthcoming titles yet to be discussed are beaming in a wholesome kind of fantasy in their own ways, providing their own potentials [2] [50] [54] [57] [58] [62]. Beyond being potentially “defined” by online hate, blatant misrepresentation [24] [64], and risks of being manipulated, I shall relish in pride in being a preppy nerd who sees said potential in three forthcoming titles and analyse what all three titles will have to offer [2] [50] [54] [57] [58] [62].

I adore the soothing music and the theme of mental health benefits in Kinder World [33]. Could three upcoming games be as recommendable in terms of wholesomeness and some form of tranquillity? [33]

Attention, digital art lovers! The vibrant and beautifully pixelated graphics seem to enrich the mood of crafting quirky and adorable imagery for clients, which appears to be the objective of the forthcoming game from Spellbound Games titled “Sticky Business” [54] [62]. However, there is no way to exactly draw any element as there is a list of images on the right to select, rotate, resize, rearrange, and combine, much like in Rugrats Print Shop, a creative software I played with a lot when I was a kid [3] [48]. The list includes a gay pride flag, a bisexual flag, a non-binary flag, and an asexuality flag, making it a virtual haven for LGBTQIA+ players [38] [54] [62]. There is also a section of blank shapes that can be coloured in, depending on the player’s choice [54] [62]. The player can earn some of these images by purchasing them with coins or heats from the Sticker Shop within a rewards system, leading to some motivation to send completed imagery to clients for a certain amount of time. Why do the visuals and gameplay remind me of “Dos Boot”, the seventh episode of the third season of Dexter’s Laboratory [18]? Sometime in the second quarter of 2023, Sticky Business could be stuck in the hearts of a creative casual crowd [54] [62]. 

The player can also add some effects to the stickers, such as glittery hearts and learn a little about each client [54] [62]. I would also recommend the gay pride flag and some galactic sticker designs to Stolas from Helluva Boss [35] [37]. [62]

The experience of Sticky Business might as well be the modern-day equivalent of Rugrats Print Shop [3] [48], much to my delight. [62]

There is a crowdfunding page for Camper Van: Make It Home on Kickstarter [34] [50] [57]. The premise of the upcoming simulation is freely organising a camper van at a tranquil pace in a way that is like arranging furniture in a house or dormitory in The Sims 2: Super Collection and in an apartment in The Sims 2: Apartment Life [1] [19] [20] (which could have been called “The Sims 2: Flat Life” in the United Kingdom [49]) [34] [50] [57]. The visuals are artistically stunning, enhancing the vibes of a summery getaway in a camper van, thanks to Alba Marless, Pablo Ruiz, Ene Arizkorreta and Laura Rueda [34] [50]. One of the most notable aspects of the simulation would be the adorable dog named “Buffy” who will be the player’s travelling partner [57]. Alternatively, either a cat or iguana can be the companion [50]. There is also merchandise for backers, which is a promotionally thoughtful way to thank them for their donations and support. As an animal crosser who has recently gotten back into Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp after receiving a new iPhone 13 Mini as a birthday present [44] [66] [67], I can tell that Camper Van: Make It Home is going to be something special on Steam, mobile platforms, and the Nintendo Switch, especially if you have travelled in a camper van before [34] [50] [57]. 

Shout-out to the creative director of Camper Van: Make It Home, Anabel Sánchez and all the other members of Matapata Studio [34]! I hope the Kickstarter page will reach its goal this May [50]! And speaking of The Sims, there will be four new kits for The Sims 4 from April to June [55]. [50]

Someday, I can have an ideal pet who will be there whether I feel like I need to benefit my mental health aside from watering plants in Kinder World [27] [28] [29] [30] [33]. [50]

If you adore building a new world within your own flow in a sandbox, Gourdlets could be right up your pixelated alley. The experience shown in the gameplay trailer appears to be Minecraft in the eyes of a Stardew Valley character in a bird’s eye view [9] [39] [46]. As shown in the Steam trailer in November 2022 and the Demo trailer in January, the creator of a new land can even decide how big their island will be by placing new chucks of land, which would feel quite like expanding a restaurant in Restaurant City or a nightclub in Nightclub Cityback in the simpler, drama-free Facebook days, but no levelling up required [3] [19]. Alongside the growth of the island, the population of cubic creatures known as “gourdlets” will increase and interact with various aspects of the town, such as roasting marshmallows by a campfire and fishing in a dock. The interior of houses can also be customised, much like the progress of arranging objects in Restaurant City and Nightclub City [3] [19]. There ought to be a lot more to enrich a flourishing new island with and to ensure that gourdlets will always be safe and happy after the overall reception of the demo. 

Gourdlets also provides the option to build a new land in the daytime or at night [58] [59] [60]. What a missed opportunity to change the time of day in Club Penguin [11]! [59]

Did I mention that the pixelated graphics in Gourdlets look marvellous with blossomed animations, providing some form of liveliness within the power of freely building a country with no objectives [2] [58] [59] [60]? Aside from how the stems of the gourdlets’ heads remind me of the Pikmin from the Pikmin series [45], the shape of their bodies reminds me of Talking Carl [10]. You know, the red creature that repeats what you say on your mobile device? Let us hope none of them will get into a fight over whose voice is higher [5]. [58]

In conclusion, all three forthcoming games have been proposed to provide some form of creative interaction in a different way [2] [50] [54] [57] [58] [62], much to my interest. Aside from the full potential of the calmness and creativity of Sticky Business, Camper Van: Make it Home and Gourdlets, we can tune into something lot more zany and humourous, like Pizza Possum, which is an upcoming action game about a possum who gobbles up food on a run from the police [61]. Has that pesky little fella looked up to Sly Cooper at some point [47] [53]? Speaking of cunning video game characters, some of them at least have the potential to provide some form of wholesome as Bowser’s bizarrely beautiful ballad dedicated to Princess Peach almost moved me to tears and I am still thankful for how Deadpool helped me cope in 2020 [22] [68]. He has been one of my coping mechanisms for three years [25] [65]. The wholesomeness and causal nature of Sticky Business, Camper Van: Make It Home 
and Gourdlets awaits those who seek new interactive adventures apart from some rereleases and remarkable recreations of treasured memories [4] [31] [56] [57] [58] [62]. Even during times of toxicity and sudden misfortune, let us continue to be kind for the sake of those in need as we wait for or work on engaging new establishments [12] [13] [25] [40] [44] [56]. 

A fast-paced action game with some antiheroic comedy awaits those who like pizza…and possums (including Moxxie from Helluva Boss [36]?). In the meantime, fans of Attack on Titans better not strive in the storm for too long in the latest collaboration in Fortnite [21]. [61]

As for the three games with wholesome premises that provide some form of creativity, they await gamers out there like me, from the freedom of building a homeland for gourdlets to diligently creating imagery for clients within a business [2] [50] [54] [57] [58] [62]. Which one will you choose to play to unwind at the time of its initial release date? Or why not give all three of them a shot? It is your freedom as a player! Make the most of it! [62]

Sonic Frontiers - Super Sonic And More In An Open-World Adventure Soon

Minasan, Kon’nichiwa! A few days ago, the Tokyo Game Show trailer for Sonic Frontiers was unleashed while our Nintendo nerds rejoiced for Pauline and Diddy Kong joining the roster in another update for Mario Strikers: Battle League Football later this month [22] [27] [32] [33] [36] [49] [65]. There has been a lot of hope for Sonic the Hedgehog’s open-world adventure to excel, despite some doubtfulness and demands for a delay back in June [61] [64]. Optimism flourished when another gameplay trailer within this year’s Nintendo Direct Mini showcase came out and the story trailer revealing more about the plot came two months later [60] [62] [63]. The gameplay demo of Sonic Frontiers has received approval from Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of the Super Smash Bros. series at Tokyo Game Show [5], which is indeed a green flag being waved gracefully. Even though I am still not swindled into ever considering myself a fan of the blue speedster again [4] [6], despite the potential for great ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) with a Sonic Frontiers theme [2], I am here to preach hopes for the best outcome of the game for the fifth time after tittering at Wade Wilson’s charming and quirky fourth-wall-breaking in the first volume of Deadpool: Samurai while our Nintendo nerds get ready to make more artistic chaos in the newly released Splatoon 3 [10] [11]. 

Aside from the brief evaluation within an overview [48], there is still a little more to analyse from the new trailer associated with this year’s Tokyo Game Show [33]. [32] [34] [49] [65]

What has been revealed in the Tokyo Game Show trailer to further increase the hype for the game? Firstly, there is a volcano on Koros Island [32] [33] [36] [49] [65], leading to the possibility of some puzzles being set across flowing lava that does not look like tomato soup, unlike in Bowser’s Castle in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Wii [23] [24]. Next, we see more of what awaits a Sonic supporter on Ares Island, including rails that are constructed into giant rings [32] [33] [36] [49] [65]. The blue speedster is later seen confronting a large foe whose textures and facial structures vaguely remind me of Venom, the iconic antiheroic symbiote from Marvel [11] [56]. It has been revealed that gathering all seven emeralds will allow Sonic to become Super Sonic once again, which is what I suspect can also lead to some tension in a cutscene that leads to a final boss battle [32] [33] [36] [49] [65]. Aside from what appears to be the finishing touches to advertising Sonic Frontiers in terms of promising trailers, one of the game’s official theme songs is “Vandalize” by ONE OK ROCK, which sounds amazing in both Japanese and English [29] [30] [43], but only using the censored versions would be essential since the game will be rated 7 in Europe and E10+ in North America [28] [32] [36] [49] [65].

The other theme song for Sonic Frontiers is “I’m Here” [38] [47]. Its lyrics match how Sonic must feel throughout his forthcoming adventure to a T. A while ago, I was motivated to write a parody of Elton John and Britney Spears’ collaboration, which is a recreation of “Hold Me Closer” [7] [57]. Care to sing along? [48]

Super Sonic’s appearance in a cutscene leading to the final boss battle would be much like the moments near the endings of the two live-action movies from Paramount Pictures [52] [53]. And speaking of ratings, let us not provoke Deadpool into trying to correct us [12]. [32] [34] [49] [65]

There will be side quests to evaluate the sense of adventuring and keep the gameplay experience varied besides speeding up with Sonic [48]. Remember how frustrating the fishing gameplay in Big the Cat’s story in Sonic Adventure was to some players [34]? Well, the opportunity to go fishing with Big will return in Sonic Frontiers [14] [39], much like how he will make an appearance in Sonic Prime [16]. The big difference will be that the fishing gameplay will only be a minigame in an adventure mostly centred around Sonic [14], which is what I believe will be for the best with some technical differences when it comes to giving Big’s own thing another chance [34]. Furthermore, the fishing minigame may hopefully be nearly as exceptional as fishing in the Animal Crossing series [19] [20] [21]. Let us just hope that there will be no small fries that subtract fifty points, unlike in the fishing game in Wii Play [25]. Surely, Big’s character can be upgraded with some new exploration at some point [14] [39]. Alternatively, if there will not be much character exploration in a new game, there can always be some in a comic book series [8] [9]. The fishing minigame is an interesting way to keep the gameplay experience varied besides solving puzzles across Starfall Islands [14] [48].

As fascinating as it is to see Spider-Gwen in the fourth season of the third chapter of Fortnite [3] [31], it would be interesting to see Big the Cat be the host of a minigame within some redemption [14] [39]. Could faintly similar redemption apply to his portrayal in Sonic Prime [41]? [16]

What else is there is say and hope for in terms of gameplay and such? It turns out that the keys are for gathering the chaos emeralds as the game progresses [39] [48]. Speaking of progress, the impact on Sonic’s powers will be increased and he will gain new abilities throughout this quest as the game’s difficulty increases in new areas, which can make the journey engaging and satisfying without any sign of staleness. As much as I am up for a multiplayer mode in an update or DLC pack for Marvel’s Midnight Suns [57] [58], I am still up for a multiplayer mode in Sonic Frontiers that could be part of an update [60]. As previously stated, Player Two can either be Metal Sonic, Shadow the Hedgehog or Silver the Hedgehog as the second player competing as a recolour of Sonic just like in the Wii version of Sonic Colours can be rather uninspired [60]. And speaking of DLC, there will be a collaboration with Inugami Korone within DLC which is a new pair of interestingly designed shoes with matching gloves [40]. Aside from Super Sonic’s eventual time to shine and the cuteness of the Inugami Korone-themed DLC, I deeply appreciate the ambition the main gameplay appears to consist of [32].

This is not the first time Inugami Korone was associated with Sonic the Hedgehog as she was in an interview in honour of his 30^th anniversary [51]. [39]

Overall, the potential of Sonic Frontiers just keeps becoming more and more promising, which makes up for the backlash towards it back in June [54] [64]. Unlike the Japanese marketing for the game [34], the marketing for Sonic Prime does not seem to be very effective so far possibly due to uncertainty in figuring out the right time to market it after the series’ completion [41], along with many employees being sacked from Netflix Animation resulting in some issues [55]. On a lighter note, we might as well also look for fun in the third season of The Cuphead Show, despite the heebie-jeebies that the cliffhanger at the end of the Season Two finale caused us [1] [18]. As for our bronies and pegasisters, they are sure to behold even more magic of friendship that will make its mark later this month [15] [17]. Hopefully, there will be a new story trailer for Sonic Prime that will boost the hype for it back up very soon, almost to the level of the hype for Sonic Frontiers. Is anyone up for a princess tea party battle in the meantime [44]? What has been revealed in the Tokyo Game Show trailer for Sonic Frontiers, along with Sakurai’s approval at the convention might just be the icing on the promotional cake [5] [32] [33] [36] [49] [65]. Sayonara!

It looks like I have completed my Sonic Frontiers article sandwich with the first article as the bottom bread, the second one as the lettuce, the third one as the meat, the fourth one as the cheese and the fifth and final one as the top bread [60] [61] [62] [63] [64]. Yum! [39]

There also have been a lot of monthly events in Sonic Speed Simulator, including a search for Froggy with Big the Cat and a brief rehash of the Sonic Riders series with Jet the Hawk [42]. 2022 has been a big and engaging year for Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Frontiers may hopefully be its outstanding conclusion [60]. [42]
