Here's a video describing all this:Īlthough I will admit I don't like how brightly colored they are and with that it makes Knuckles look pink again. I love Mania's sprites because of how smooth they look in motion with all the added frames to create fluid animations. However, I don't like how pink Knuckles looks in the game. My favorite location aesthetics are Botanic Base, Marina Madness, and Amazing Arena. Speaking of looking like a dog that reminds me of this: įor another game I think Knuckles Chaotix has a sprite style that I find very pretty. I'm not sure how to explain it but I've always thought he looks more like a dog in these frames too. I'm glad Mania redid his ledge animations. The way he looks down, leans back, pauses briefly, and then circles his arms around makes him all look over dramatic. It makes me wish to see how all of Tails sprites would have looked like in the Sonic 3 style.įor Knuckles I always thought his ledge animation looked goofy. I read this somewhere and I just wanted to point this out for others.įor Tails it looks like they were going to completely redo his sprite set as well for him but more than likely due to time constraints it is only seen in some instances while in the majority it's just his Sonic 2 sprites. This can mostly be seen when compared to the Sonic 2 crouch sprite so I suppose this can be a downgrade. I would also like to point out that in some of his Sonic 3 sprites he has 4 fingers instead of 5. I was disappointed that for Mania they instead went back to the Sonic 1 sprite style since I feel they should have either fleshed out his Sonic 3 sprites or done an entirely new sprite style instead. I’m sure for Sonic 2 they did this due to limitations so I’m not sure why Mania did the same thing.īy the way, I'm one of the people who actually prefer the Sonic 3 sprites. It clashes so noticeably and I think they should have shaded using either a darker yellow or brown color. They did this same thing in Mania where they shaded Super Sonic’s sprites with black. These sprites for the corkscrew animation in particular are the most egregious example of that mohawk design creeping in. Given that it was developed in America at STI I can see why Sonic would have that in some of his sprites. I also don’t like how some of the Sonic 2 sprites have the American mohawk design in them.
