Description I borrowed SA2b from a friend a looooong time ago. We kept it overdue for about a month, and darn did my brother and I play it obsessively. I remember memorizing the timing for all the levels and everything... we bought the game for ourselves just yesterday, and it's brought back so many memories.

This game.... really put a permanent impression on me. It built off of the idea of "cool" from Power Rangers, and took it to new heights in its own way. I especially loved Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow at the end... awesome music, awesome characters.... it was so cool at the time. The game is still pretty good, even to this day. I think it's the way 3D Sonic games are SUPPOSED to be made. It's still a bit hard to control, but nowhere near the frustration levels of trying to use the Wii remote. XD

Anyway..... it's a little late, but this is my tribute to an awesome game. Haha, the Chao Garden really brings back memories... I love it when they skip over to you and hug your leg.

And yes, I know, that's officially Super Shadow, but I call him Hyper Shadow because he was gold in Shadow the Hedgehog as Super, so he must've been Hyper in SA2B. Feel free to disagree with me, but try not to whine about it too much.

Aww, thank you!

Oh, I agree completely... I bought the game for myself a while ago really cheap, and it brought back a lot of memories for me too. XD

No, it looked like a similar shade in Shadow The Hedgehog, and Shadow hasn't had a super form in any game since... it really sucks. Sonic isn't the only one who deserves to have a Super form...

PhyroPhantom In reply to MeerArtist [2010-06-28 00:57:22 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... this is him from Shadow the Hedgehog: [link] Here he is in SA2B: [link]

It's similar, but.... I always thought that Shadow was "Hyper Shadow" in SA2b: it was a stubborn opinion formed as a kid, and I still hold it to this day. Mostly because it's cooler, and it explains the color difference. I know that's not official cannon, but I prefer to think of it that way. XD

And yeah, I agree. D= Poor Shadow.

MeerArtist In reply to PhyroPhantom [2010-06-28 00:58:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, and he's not the only one. Tails and Knuckles used to have a Super form way back in Sonic 3 and Knuckles...

PhyroPhantom In reply to MeerArtist [2010-06-28 01:02:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah they did..... they had a super form in a 3D game, but they made Tails.... more pale, and they made Knuckles PINK. o-o Or that's what my brother tells me anyway...

MeerArtist In reply to PhyroPhantom [2010-06-28 01:04:32 +0000 UTC]

Well, they kind of had a super form in Sonic Heroes... if you could even call it a super form. the only thing that changed was that they got a gold ball of energy around them...

Yeah something like that.... XP

I only ever played SA2b and then "Secret Rings", but the latter SUCKED. Especially the controls. D=

MeerArtist In reply to PhyroPhantom [2010-06-28 01:13:36 +0000 UTC]

I've beaten Secret Rings. the controls aren't that bad once you get used to them, and the final boss was pretty good...

PhyroPhantom In reply to MeerArtist [2010-06-28 01:17:33 +0000 UTC]

I beat it too, actually. Well, my brother did most of it.

It's really not that bad, but it makes me miss SA2B's controls. XD And yeah, the final boss was cool. Darkspine Sonic sounds like Deadpool from Marvel Ultimate Alliance though..... o-O

Yeah. I personally prefer Excalibur Sonic just for the transformation sequence.

No I hadn't seen it yet... I'm kinda tired. XD

It's actually pretty cool, but Sonic looked kinda... clunky when it was done. Sonic characters are usually very streamlined......

Haha yeah...

I've seen streamlined armor before though... but I guess that's hi-tech so... that wouldn't fit the theme. XD

PhyroPhantom In reply to LittleBlackRose20 [2010-06-27 14:29:02 +0000 UTC]

Um..... I didn't think about it very much at all. I just opened up sketchbook with the intention to draw something, and I just got the urge to draw Hyper Shadow. XP Lemme check the times...

Sketch time: 10 minutes.
Inking/Coloring/Shading time: About 1-2 hours. The file dates say 3 hours, but I think I had to do something in the middle of it. Not sure.

Haha yeah.... XP

Actually, I just remembered I had to eat and clean up the table in between there. I think I actually inked for about 40 minutes, ate, and then colored and shaded for about another 40 minutes. XP
