I think it was a success, in the way it clearly felt different from the previous Sonic games. To provide contrast and highlight Sonic himself, we made the emblem behind him look metallic, to provide an overall impression of “CG”. To create that image of Sonic turning to face you, we used a polaroid camera to take pictures of a Sonic figurine, scanned them, and used that as our base to create the animation. At the time, “CG” meant sparkling, sheen metallic surfaces that immediately jumped out at you and yelled, “THIS IS CG!”, and frankly, I thought that aesthetic was the height of cool.Īs Ohshima and I gathered up more and more CG reference materials, our excitement grew, manifesting in that title screen for Sonic CD-our first foray. Of course, the computing power and hardware of that era was pretty paltry compared with today, so we were never going to be able to create something that matched those ambitions, nor was anyone expecting that from us. There was a strategic side to it, too: this game would be for the brand new Mega CD, so we wanted to include new ideas distinct from the previous Sonic games. “whoa…! amazing, so this is a computer?!”-yeah, I was pretty green, and I had stars in my eyes for anything “high tech”. When I joined Sega, it was my first chance to work with a Mac. Problem there is there is no set rate or multiplier for it nor has it ever been said Base Sonic is stronger than 06 Super Sonic.In terms of the graphics, our biggest theme for Sonic CD was “CG”. Then there’s the argument that while Sonic was weaker than Solaris but is now stronger because his base form's power continously increases. Darkspine Sonic has completely a different source, the World Rings, and was accessed with only 4 while Super needs all the Chaos Emeralds to go Super. Secret Rings is its own can of worms i'm unfamiliar with but point to Erazor Jinn being 1001x Universal by absorbing all the Arabian Nights and Darkspine Sonic kicking his ass and scaling Super to it but the forms are fundamentally different. Sonic was out of his leauge, he found a weakpoint and survived the attacks because he was invincibile.Īpparently there's some line saying Sonic could have beaten Solaris if he only had to be fought at a single point in time but the fact he literally could not damage Solaris anywhere but Super Sonic not being able to hurt anything except the core proves that statement is a bunch of bullshit if it even exists. People try to make Sonic 4D scaling him to Solaris, but being unable to hurt anything except his explicit weakpoint and being invulnerable in Super form counters that pretty hard. Eggman outright says "If we can't stop his form, we'll stop his consciousness." But even doing that doesn't kill Solaris, it basically renders him braindead and Elise does time shenanigans to erase him. Super Sonic, Super Shadow, and Super Silver cannot scratch Solaris' body, they have to attack his weakpoint to win. Eggman thinks that defeating Solaris is outright IMPOSSIBLE before identifying the core as his weakpoint as that's where his consciousness is. When they are destroyed, Solaris isn't affected, he just falls a little bit before powering up. ![]() Eggman outright says that standard attacks will not work and to attack the things on Solaris' arms as they're anchoring him in the dimension. ![]() ![]() The problem is, Super Sonic in no way can scale to Solaris' full power. So Solaris actually comes out to 335 universes at absolute best. That's 1.974 trillion galaxies, which is only 9.87 Universes. The universe is made up of 200 Billion galaxies, so at absolute best we can add the IRL Earth population of 2006 (6.6 Billion), half that in alien life (3.3 Billion), and 66.5 billion animals (I was told the current population of animals is 121 billion) and multiply it by ten for beyond the maximum for how many dimensions feed into Maginaryworld. The most we see from Maginaryworld's Dream Universes is far-off stars, so the most we can verify is them each being the size of a GALAXY. The problem is that nobody applies scrutiny to it. Maginaryworld creates "Dream Universes" for every creature that dreams and apparently non-sentient animals count in that to and spans several dimensions. People count all 325 possible outcomes of Shadow the Hedgehog as universes and Maginaryworld as even more. They say Super Sonic scales to Solaris, who was going to destroy the Sonic multiverse.
