I don't know how well it'd work, but I've also wanted to see if 3D Sonic games would play better if the controls worked similar to those for racing games, but with a jump button. I think there'd have to be a little tweaking, but I would at least want to see it done.

No, it's that current Sonic games are other games with Sonic thrown in. Sonic games are about running really fast and dodging obstacles and fighting enemies at high speeds. I mean, I could accept these games if they were actually good, but they're not.

And there's no excuse since Nintendo can continuously make Mario fun and innovative and even the games where it's just Mario and friends are fairly decent.

Of note: Mario Strikers is soccer with Mario and random items. It's a game made of fun. Sonic Riders is racing with Sonic and flying snowboards. It's also a pretty good game. Sonic and Mario in the Olympic Games is...Exactly what it says it is. It's not so bad, either. But I'd like to remind all of you that the main Mario series has nowhere to progress now. It already had a IN SPAAAAAAAACE game, there's nothing after SPAAAAAAAACE.

There was nothing after 3D...

Believe you me, Mario will travel through time any game now.

Like, yeah, it's totally Link's thing, but time is where you go after space. Everybody knows that.

Mario already traveled through time. Remember Mario & Luigi Partners in Time? Yeah.

Hmm... Pokémon did both space and time already and at the same time. Where will Pokémon go now? I mean, you can capture GodArceus already. How about Link? Will the next Zelda game involve space? Does that mean the next Metroid game will be a steampunk game? Oh god this is getting weird. And awesome. Very awesome.

But more on topic: Sonic always has his super Sonic form in the main series, except in Sonic and the Secret Rings ( where he has something...different ) and I'm not sure about 2006...But on Unleashed the emeralds were depowered in the start, so what will he do in this?

Mario has already traveled through time. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

What he needs is a submarine combat game. That's new and exciting, right?

I could actually buy this assuming the sword's some legendary/magic/both artifact that has much greater cutting power than his own spines and the enemies are somehow much harder and tougher than Eggman's robots agian somehow. Magic is the best bet, yet again. They're in King Arthur so it's not that far a stretch this time around.

But even so he should intigrate the sword into his own style, not go into a completely new and relatively innefective combat style. You don't need to stop and swordfight Sonic! A spindash with a sword is a sword slice at mach something. A homing attack + sword is a homing attack with a better reach and maybe power. I don't mind Sonic with a sword as long as it is, infact, SONIC with a sword.

Him stopping and swordfighting is not Sonic with a sword. It's a blue hedgehog with a sword. Difference. Big.

Every time I see somebody refer to him as Eggman I feel like grabbing the nearest innocent person/animal/object and just pummeling it. His name is Robotnik. Get it right. Even SEGA couldn't get his name right.

Robotnik sounds a lot cooler than Eggman for so many reasons. I don't care if Eggman was his name in Japan, I want Robotnik back! I don't care if he's still technically Robotnik, as long as they call him Eggman, I'll never forgive them.
