Sonic is supposed to be the fastest character, yet in Sonic R, it's possible for him to be beaten by everyone else, even EGG ROBO, seriously? They fixed that in Sonic Riders by making tracks/races that required boards, where it'd make sense for someone to out-race him, and same with cars.

I still can't use this. Posts: 6,546 Group: Former Monarchs Member #6,722 Joined: March 16, 2008	"Should" implies that there's some objective obligation to put Sonic on foot in a racing game when, well, there isn't. Regardless, it doesn't make sense for Sonic to participate in a vehicle race if he doesn't have a vehicle no matter how fast on foot he is. Vehicular races are to display your talent as a driver/pilot, not your ability to run. Seriously. xP

Posts: 647 Group: S Rank Knight Member #10,296 Joined: August 29, 2009	I think Sonic being in a car is not much of a problem to me now because: 1. sonic's size < cars size = hedgehog pancake 2. They said they tried so you know if they say they can't get it to work, it can't work but besides that I am sort of wondering who else will be in the game, Ristar anyone?

Christmas is back again Posts: 17,411 Group: Former Monarchs Member #348 Joined: December 9, 2006 Gender: Male Steam ID: Warzak85DF	Hmm.. Actually first time I'm looking into this, while at it. Looks better then I'd first anticipated. And hell, I am willing to accept in a vehicle, board, act like a werewolf, become a swords wielder. Just continue with the creativity. Not our faults that some can't see that development. Also, fair trade why Sonic is in the car, along with everyone else. It's a racing game after all. And when everyone's in a vehicle, why should Sonic be on foot. No sense at all, as that would ruin the fact of competition like someone said above. Looks great, I may actually have to look more into this.

The persona idea sounds like a fun way of getting NiGHTS into a car and not flying.

Character Select Posts: 11 Group: E Rank Adventurer Member #10,303 Joined: August 30, 2009	wrecker the rider Aug 24 2009, 12:36 PM My question is; why not continue sonic riders and add cars to the usable gear? Sega had something when the made sonic riders, why not continue? Because a lot the fanbase hate riders.
