Sonic Rumble Rushing To iOS And Android This Winter

During the 20th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise [40], the blue speedster’s positivity and heroism were a coping mechanism for me throughout the worst high school year of my life. During my first year of college, I continued to support his legacy by playing a few Sonic games on my fourth-generation iPod Touch, including a considerably less playable version of Sonic Dash and the remake of Sonic Jump [38] [41]. Over a decade later, Sonic Rumble has been announced within a rather captivating announcement trailer that begins with a vague reminder of Amiibo figures [46]. You may be thinking, “ANOTHER Sonic the Hedgehog game for modern mobile devices after the release of Sonic Dream Team [56] [57]?!”. Well, I understand that mobile gaming may not be up every gamer’s alley, considering how questionable some mobile games have been with some outraged microtransactions and so on [34], but let us hold no bias as we discuss what Sonic Rumble will have to offer and there can still have some competence in mobile game designing as Pokémon GO has been rediscovered after some notable updates [26]. As the force is with the Fall Guys within yet another crossover event that also goes for all four gameplay modes of Fortnite [10] [11], there is some potential regarding an upcoming party game starring Sonic, his friends and some of his foes [46].

And of course, another notable example of highly competent mobile game design would be Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp [20], which is still going strong with new seasonal and monthly events [24] [25]. How can Sonic Rumble be another [27] [36]? [46]

Aside from the chibi animation style that provides some individuality for the game, the gameplay looks quite chaotic and reminds me of a round of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, as well as Sonic Dash due to the usual obstacles and ring gatherings [10] [38]. There also appears to be some side-scrolling sections, like in Sonic Superstars for a little nostalgia’s sake [40] [43]. The maximum of players able to compete against one another is thirty-two, which is four times as crazy and ambitious as the eight-player mode in Puyo POP Fever [37]. Apparently, rings can be gathered throughout the course as currency for more customisation options [46], which sounds like a pretty clichéd rewards system but can still feel rewarding, nonetheless. It looks like some of these options will include Sonic and Shadow’s pirate outfits from an event in Sonic Dash back in 2021 during the franchise’s 30th anniversary [38] [48] [49]. Dressing up Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, or any other playable character is not as big and creative as the avatar customisation in Sonic Forces [39] [46], but it can still provide some personalisation for a Sonic supporter to an extent. As menacing as the Joker will be in MultiVersus [19], there ought to be some explanation for the mysterious toy world created by Dr. Eggman, as diabolical as he can be [40] [46].

The “chibi” factor in this upcoming title is not as striking as the art style of Sonic & Friends but still adorable [46] [47]. You know who else is looking fashionable right now? Ken from an all-new Ken Kouture collection, which could be Kenough to be more than just Ken [4] [17]. [46]

Surely, the Angry Birds will make special guest appearances in the game for a limited time, considering how there was a Sonic Dash-themed event in Angry Birds Epic [3], along with how I recall playing as Red and Chuck in Sonic Dash around that time and the rights to Rovio were bought by SEGA nearly a year ago [27] [28]. I suppose that might occur near the launch of the official trailer for the second season of Hazbin Hotel [54] [55]. [3]

The beta testing for Sonic Rumble is yet to open to ensure what can be considered more passable than Sonic R [42] [52] [53]. And no, as a former creepypasta writer, I do not believe in the Tails Doll curse [50]. After the testing, Sonic Rumble will get a new party started on iOS and Android this Winter, possibly in December as a conclusion to an ambitious year for the Sonic the Hedgehog series [42] [44] [46], especially Shadow the Hedgehog’s big highlights in Sonic X Shadow Generations that will show his side of a story of Sonic Generations and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 that shall retell his origins as he is voiced by Keanu Reeves [14] [22] [58]. And yes, it would be important for the development crew to act upon feedback, even after the beta testing and launch as subtitles in many languages were eventually added to the cutscenes in Spyro Reignited Trilogy alongside the option to turn the toggle motion blur on or off being added to the gameplay to make the game more accessible in certain areas [1] [5] [9] [15]. Even as a former fan of the speedy blue rodent, I am glad if you currently consider him a coping mechanism for you during some difficult times, especially during Mental Health Awareness Month [35].

Aside from the blue speedster’s cred in mobile gaming, rumour has it that a direct sequel to Sonic Frontiers is in development [13] [29] [33]. If that is the case, then the open-world formula ought to be enriched with perhaps a multiplayer mode featuring the ultimate lifeform as Player 2, so that he will know how Luigi feels [21]. In the meantime, rugby fans can either be on Team Sonic or Team Shadow with a new rugby attire range from Phenom Elite [23]. [45]

After the premiere of the second season of LEGO DREAMZZZ [51], I wish all the volunteers of the beta testing for Sonic Rumble the best [42] [52]. Despite another heartbreak [2] [8] [12], I shall continue to follow my passion for blogging, potentially making my younger self proud of me [16]. Be sure to keep following your passions too, whether it would be art, cosplaying or simply gaming [6] [7] [30] [31] [32]! I also wish those attending this year’s MegaCon in Manchester an amazing weekend this July [18]. [46]

The Sixth Season Of Disney Speedstorm Is Under The Sea

After working in the depths of Blue Monday [9] [15], I began to wonder which more of our beloved Disney stars would become the newest racers in Disney Speedstorm, like how a mermaid would wonder about human life [41]. Over two weeks later, it turns out that the sixth season is centred on The Little Mermaid [13]. Previously, we let it go with the main cast of Frozen in the fifth season in honour of the film’s tenth anniversary [50]. Quite unfortunately, there has been some criticism regarding the microtransaction deals in the game quite a while ago [35] [36]. Has someone learned nothing from the greediness of Mario Kart Tour [2], Nintendo’s Marmite? On a lighter note, some Disney devotees must have wished that the main cast of The Little Mermaid could be part of the roster and their wish came true. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Walt Disney sure was fun [14], despite the company’s massive loss of money [16], so let us have fun during the 101st year of wonder. Moreover, this year is the time to hope for the company to strive with another season of Disney Speedstorm [13], a deal with Epic Games that is likely to result in a huge crossover event in Fortnite and an upcoming sequel to Moana simply titled “Moana 2” [17] [20].
 

I fondly remember the 30th anniversary of The Little Mermaid, along with the 50th anniversary of Sleeping Beauty and the 10th anniversary of The Princess and The Frog in 2019 [47]. The live-action remake of the iconic film starring Halle Bailey is not every fan and critic’s siren [41], but the interpretation of Ariel played by Bailey can still be the original Ariel’s bestie from an alternate universe [1] [27] [42]. Besides, are those who considered it too “woke” and made inconsiderate jabs at Bailey’s appearance going to complain that making cosplaying inclusive could be “woke” and “race swapping for no reason” too [3] [4] [5] [6] [18] [32]? At least Bailey can sing [41] [42]! Critique acting, but remain considerate. What matters is the skill, not the skin. [22]

As for the sixth season of Disney Speedstorm, there is a reason why its title is “Under The Sea” [13]. As appreciative as we can be towards more playable characters in Disney Speedstorm, let us continue to show support for game developers and hope for the best for the innocent people who have unfortunately lost their jobs due to a massive wave of job losses instead of viciously insulting them [21] [43]. [13]

The main stars of the ocean are in new racing suits [13], just like many of the other competitors from the previous seasons [48] [49] [50]. Looks like Ariel, everyone’s favourite red-haired mermaid has a new motivation for having human legs instead of a green tail [13] [41]. Eric is not only as handsome as always, but he is steering a new kind of wheel. King Triton deserves to be part of the roster as well for his gradual character development in both the original animated film and the live-action remake [28] [41]. Lastly, Ursula, the antagonist of the film is looking for a poor unfortunate soul to help her win a race [13] [41]. New crew members include Flounder, Sebastian, Scuttle, Max, Flotsam, Jetsam, and Ariel’s six sisters as they are all minor characters from The Little Mermaid [11]. The course is hardly anything like when you combine the new Castle Estate and Goth Galore kits for The Sims 4 [45], but it is very faithful to the aquatic essences of The Little Mermaid [13]. Besides the cast of The Little Mermaid and a new course taking place both on land and under the sea, EVE from WALL-E will a racer available for a limited time during an event in the season [12]. As always, the graphics remain vibrant for an alternative to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe [13] [29].

 

If Disney allegedly hates the elderly, how come Moana’s grandmother played a highly effective supporting role, despite her death [33]? Not all grey-haired Disney characters are antagonistic, you know! But as for this one, I am not too sure about her trying to take over Cheep Cheep Beach from Mario Kart DS [30]. [13]

Strangely enough, King Triton would be able to speed up or hit the brake, even though he still had his merman tail. Oh well! Forget logic! [39]

In conclusion, the cast of the animated version of The Little Mermaid from 1989 being the main highlight of the sixth season of Disney Speedstorm is quite intriguing [13] [47]. If I could, I would go on holiday to Walt Disney World in Florida for the second time or feel like part of a fairytale in Disneyland Paris with my partner [8] [23]. Who could be the next set of competitors in the seventh season? How about Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty since again, this year marks the film’s 65th anniversary of the film she was the damsel-in-distress in [47], but she can embrace some female empowerment as a racer in either a blue or pink race suit [37]. Besides some more seasons of Disney Speedstorm, more interactive adventures throughout 2024 include the physical Nintendo Switch port of Pronty, a game I was informed about during the Christmas break that will be released after Valentine’s Day [19], Princess Peach: Showtime!, a seemingly exciting new quest for Princess Peach and her adorable sidekick named “Stella” and Sonic X Shadow Generations, a remaster of Sonic Generations featuring a new story in Shadow the Hedgehog’s perspective [31] [38]. Happy 35th Anniversary to Walt Disney’s The Little Mermaid and Happy 65th Anniversary to Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty [10] [40] [46]! Have a lovely Valentine’s Day (which is also Lara Croft and Draculaura’s birthday [25] [26] [33]), Disney devotees! 

Oh! And before the race begins, I got a joke for you! What is a cat’s favourite Disney film? The Little Purrmaid! You did not expect me to tell a joke, did you? Let us expect the unexpected as I did not expect Jason Derulo and Michael Bublé to become a duo for a collaboration within their song titled “Spicy Margarita” [7]. Lost in Quake II [34]? Follow Kane to Disneyland [49]! [13]
