What sort of bosses, levels, physics, or power-ups would you like for Sonic 4:Episode 2? How would you want the music compared to the original? If Metal Sonic is coming back, would you want some sort of time-travel mechanic? Or a cameo from Sonic CD, perhaps?

Bosses - Something original each time. They can be callbacks, but please, above all else, don't be anything like the Egg Dealer...
Levels - Just new stuff, little to no references, and make them mysterious and thought-provoking if possible.
Physics - Preferably just steal Sonic 1-3's, but as long as they're getting better, I'm fine. They're usually good anyway.
Power-Ups - Bring back the shields at least, but they really should think about using power-ups from the old Game Gear games too. But especially the Combine Ring power-up from Knuckles Chaotix. That NEEDS to be a mainstay.
Music - MIDI. That's why I feel the Wii version is superior, and unless they do it for the other versions, I'm not going after them anytime soon.
If Metal Sonic returns, I'd be okay with time travel, as long as they keep it from going dumb. Aside from one tiny plothole in SNG, they actually do really good with time travel.

Something better than Sonic 4 Ep 1.

I really wish they would just use sprites, and make the game enjoyable.

Never understood making a side-scroller with 3D aesthetics.

Part of it is because 3D does better, and part of it could be that 3D is just easier.Zez wrote:Supersonic84 wrote:I really wish they would just use sprites, and make the game enjoyable.

Plus, it was lazier to do 3D for this game because I think they just used the Sonic Unleashed model of Sonic.

So Sonic hit puberty immediately after Sonic 3.

More like immediately after Sonic CD. Then he lost puberty for a while for Knuckles Chaotix, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic R, and then gained it back for Adventure 1.Zez wrote:So Sonic hit puberty immediately after Sonic 3.
And then there's the question of should Sonic CD be before Sonic 2...

Sonic defies logical event progression. He's a regular ol' Sheogorath type.

How do you gain, lose, then regain puberty?

Stages:
Wood level.
Sky level.
Sand level.
Ice level.
Rock level.
Fire level.
Electric level.
Time travel? Maybe.

No, I like the idea of an electric level because I haven't seen it used before except maybe 3D Blast.

Some parts of certain levels forced me to use the Homing Attack a bit too often, so I would tone down on those first. Also, I would remove puzzles that impede progress and interrupt the game's flow (I'm looking at you, Lost Labyrinth!).
Okay, maybe a change to the controls would be nice, especially when trying to control Sonic in midair during a jump or a cannon blast.
Graphically, however, I think E1 was a step in the right direction.

Most people have already said this, but better graphics, physics, more zones, less rehashes, original bosses, and better music.

Would you guys like it if the game was like the Modern Sonic levels in Generations, or more similar to the Classic Sonic levels?
I wish the music was better; I didn't find the music in Episode 1 as good as its predecessors - the older games or the latest games. The only notable zone music I remember is Mad Gear.
