![]() The feet on the first generation Sonic tended to orient the soles inward. If you look carefully you can see how Sonic's running skills have straightened out his feet too. Sonic's shoes, perversely, seemed to get cleaner as time went on - by the third game they were gleaming, and they seemed to be much rounder. The first Sonic had very skinny arms and legs, but by Sonic 3 they were quite a bit more muscular in appearance. There was a steady progression in Sonic's limbs. Sonic was initially a less vivid shade of blue, something that changed in Sonic 2 to help Sonic stand out against the background, and stayed that way for the rest of the series. The Sonic sprites below show a clear progression, and it's easy to see how Sega's artists refined their mascot's image. Oh yeah, and that movie script I talked about? Here’s the photos I’ve been sitting on, but you can understand why I wish they would just send full scans.There were only five Sonic games on the MegaDrive, ignoring games that re-used sprites (Sonic & Knuckles, Knuckles' Chaotix & Sonic CD). One step cracks tiles while a second leads to a “fiery death”. The game’s story would see Tails following ancient patterns to survive and please the Gods. The STI document above provides a few new details. Any screens were simply mockups, no game was developed to my knowledge. Titled Treasure Tails, the game would see Tails traversing puzzles in a temple setting. So back in Augthe existence of a pitch for a solo Tails spin-off game became known. UPDATE: It was noted on Twitter that sprites for the concept above appeared in a collection of discs from STI employee Tom Payne. Not much more to say about it, but cool nonetheless. The seller thinks it is from Sonic Spinball, but to me it looks more like a SEGA Menacer shooting gallery mini game. As noted by a Twitter user, this same art is seen in a grainy pitch video but is compressed and squished. Ugh.įirst up is a cool piece of art for Robotnik’s Pinball Fortress from Sonic Spinball. There is a dude sitting on a Sonic movie draft from the early 90s who still refuses to even share scans because, I guess, they are waiting for a payday. Some real cool stuff is being revealed that has been literally sitting on people’s shelves for years! Basically, I’m asking for a “thank you, Barry” and PLEASE if you collect this sort of stuff SHARE IT. The documents are being sold for (in my opinion) obscene amounts and it just goes to show the difference between an archivist and a collector. If you saw our Knuckles news, we’ve got more! In sharing the Knuckles document, a discussion within a private Facebook group led to a mention of an eBay seller in possession of SEGA Technical Institute documents. ![]()
