Escort Mission: Cute stranger from the local market needs to deliver produce to the next town over. Not the shortest trip, but possibly not long enough...

I really like Barry and Gadget. They're fun to draw. 💕

Ok at first I was like there is no way they named this game Sonic X Shadow and then I absolutely lost my shit when I saw the tags

This year we’re getting the Knuckles series and Sonic three this year. Sonic 3 and Knuckles… those bastards did it.

Now the real question is… will they do a bundle disc set of the episodes AND the third film?😏

Fearless - The Year of Shadow | Tuesday, 04.09.24

The year of Shadow the Hedgehog begins - now.

Sonic X Shadow Generations releases this fall.

I think sonic has to be aro like come on. COME ON. sonic never sticks around in one place. not even for tails, and tails is his little brother. his pride and joy. and he still runs off to explore the world. sonic is the wind. he's freedom incarnate. the wind blows past everyone the same, and stops for no one. no one will ever be more important to sonic than freedom and adventure. and no one will want to live that kind of life with him. even if they did, he'd rather take his own path! his path is for him to carve. to go where he pleases without having to stop and ask.

and this doesn't mean that he doesn't care about his friends. of course he does. he'll always come back, always be there when he's needed. his compassion is free to give to everyone who needs it. but he's adrift in the wind, always on the run. always more to see more to explore wherever the wind takes him.

this hedgehog is so fucking aromantic it genuinely genuinely blows my mind that people can see him as anything but. I do not understand it. I cannot understand it. he's aro.

for sonic’s 35th anniversary I think it would be so funny if sega decided to brand it as 25 years of shadow

Does Nintendo?

I have a scientific thingy in mind.

Take Sonic the Hedgehog 1, the original Genesis version, and get Sonic to achieve his maximum running speed. Now, measure how fast the screen scrolls in pixels or tiles per frame. Use an invincibility cheat or something to not get interrupted and write down the result.

The question: are there any Super NES platform games where you can run at least that fast with the same limitations and measuring system, and a main character at roughly the same scale?

Two games came up when I asked this on one of my Discord servers:

Speedy Gonzales Los Gatos Banditos, to the extent that it has a hack where you play as Sonic.

Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, released on both systems and very much a reason for the invincibility cheat mention.

So all I'd need to answer the title question is a bigger sample size (more games that fit the bill) and their numbers.
