@MadeKillaSam I think the Mania sprites are also Sonic 2 sprites with edits too, except with an insane number of frames. The work they put into Mania is pretty insane.

It took me just now to realize that these sprites are essentially just major edits of the Sonic 2 sprites, like you can really see it on the top of him how he has basically the same head shape as Sonic 2 Sonic

@Danny Jarquin because it basically is. Just with a couple small edits like adding eye shines.

is it just me, or does the first frame of the normal ending sprite look exactly like the ending sprite from Sonic 1?

1. the calling could have been a really good idea, not only for world building, but for gameplay as well (if were going off of "tails whistle restored" for AIR

2. why are the hydrocity water dash sprites here, and not with hydrocity? does it appear in other zones?

The calling tails sprites look like Sonic realized he had hands all along

Uhh... I'm watching a Sonic 3 video and the "Moving on horizontal cylinder" sprites are not the same. I even played the game to make sure but it's still different... Please help, I'm confused

EDIT: Nevermind it's the "Antigravity motion" sprites upside down

@SegaHatty: I assume it's an early version of the idle sprite that they forgot to replace.

Why is Sonic using a different sprite in the first frame of the idle rotating animation than the normal idle sprite? It really bugs me.

Probably because of how inconsistent they can be. Sonic's sprites were touched up many times, starting out as S2 sprites before becoming unrecognizable. This resulted in more niche animations using early revisions of the final sprites and never receiving the latter edits.

Yeah shadowman44 in my opinion, this sonic sprite is cooler then his other ones and gives him more attitude which is what he is known for. Also, his foot tapping animation is also used in his continue animation as sonic alone.

None of y'all know that Sonic's Waiting animation when he does that little hand thing before he points at something is just him snapping his fingers.

Guys, is it normal that Sonic flies up by 1 cm on the braking sprite?

I genuinely do not understand that hate towards these Sonic sprites. What is it about these sprites that just, make people so angry?
