Why the flip does Sonic need a car?

FFS, it's Sonic Drift all over again. Only with the annoying simians from Samba de Amigo and Super Monkey Ball.

Go to Hell, Sega.

To drive around in, silly boy.

Last time I pushed a big red button I blew up the power plant... no thanks.

Maybe it's so Sonic can ghost-ride the whip during the loading sequen- yeah fine, I got nothing. There's no excuse to put Sonic in that car. :(

Candy Kappa 05-28-2009 02:46 PM

he's gotten slow over the years and need a car now

Archon_Turtle 05-28-2009 03:40 PM

Cars are more slylish then sneakers.

Brodie 05-28-2009 03:51 PM

Clearly, its so that X guy can come in and compare Sonic's car to his car.

Ryona 05-28-2009 03:53 PM

Sonic in a car is like Goku with a bazooka or Superman in a kevlar vest. What's the point? Oh wait, it's so Sega can make more money. My bad.

Oh ****! CLOSE THIS THREAD NOW!

There's no point in keeping it open, Ryona came in and dropped some of her vast knowledge on us! Like, if anyone else said that, I'd think they were stating the obvious, but ****, now I know its true.

Why can't you inform us of all the other things you understand, that we clearly don't? I mean, I think it'd be beneficial if you came in with this know-how on other topics, and word it in a way that colors everyone else dumb, because you get it.

Wow... lol

I don't even know what else to add. That was a whopper. Well executed :thumbsup:

Posting news about the latest Sonic rape story is like all those child abuse sh*ts that get posted in Current Events. We all feel bad for being a human being, then forget about it 10 minutes later and go on with our menial lives.

Mecha Cow 05-28-2009 04:15 PM

Just because Sonic can run fast doesn't mean he always wants to. He's not as young as he used to be. Saying Sonic can't drive a car because he can run is like saying you shouldn't use utensils because you can eat with your hands. And I'm never eating pasta with my hands again.

Brodie 05-28-2009 04:22 PM

I love Mecha. I too hate to think of the days of eating things with my hands.

Skittles with spoons 4EVA

Ninjinister 05-28-2009 04:25 PM

For the love of Christ... the topic's title is a rhetorical question. The first couple of times it was attempted, it wasn't bad... but now it's just as bad as the game's existence in and of itself.

Thank heavens I didn't go with my original topic title of milking hedgehogs....

gobo 05-28-2009 04:55 PM

I think I missed the part where Ryona said or even suggested that we obviously didn't get the point. Link?

As long as they call it Sonic Drives a Car & Knuckles, I'll be fine.

Hedgehogs can't drive. This game is a crime against nature.

I see how it is. Here I was, about to give you the "Best answer to a question that didn't need to be answered award" for Sonic trawling for some tail, because it reminded me of DCAU Flash... looks like I'll have to choose a runner up to take your place. It's a toss-up between Ryona's "Sega making money" and Mecha Cow's "to drive".

Is Evenstar pissed you've moved on from kissing her ass to Ryona's? Cuz it's been happening a lot lately.

I agree with Cipher. This is total bullsh*t, Mecha. You've got to stop doing this kind of stuff. I take my Hedgehog very seriously, and this kind of thing is offensive.

Hey, I didn't have a lot to work with. Some of those answers were pretty damn lame, and I happen to like absurdest lampshading.

You're just sad 'cause you couldn't think of anything better.

I once found a site called "Nana's Cookie Jar" on the internet. But nothing will ever make that okay, will it?

XERO 05-28-2009 08:38 PM

It might as well be a friggin' Rick Roll.

Peanut 05-28-2009 08:41 PM

You know, guys...I've been doing a lot of serious thinking about Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing...and I'm slightly confused.

If Tails is driving a helicopter, why didn't they just make each character use something different? It would have added a healthy dose uniqueness to the proceedings. We've all see the mascot driving games, but what if the other characters had game-specific rides? Why can't AiAi from Monkey Ball be...well...in a Monkey Ball? Why can't Sonic, instead of driving, be running? Why couldn't they at least do THAT?

But then I remembered...Sega. And I stopped thinking.

Thank you, Peanut, for actually steering this topic in the direction I had intended.

That would have made a lot of freakin' sense, which, as you alluded to, defeats Sega's "vision". Why can't Tails just use his flippin', well, tails to fly anyway? Did Sonic push the little crap down the stairs and now they're broken? What would the Samba de Amigo monkey drive?

One big problem I have with these kinds of games and Sega, is their misrepresentation of characters. Where's Axel Stone, Akira Yuki, the dude from Altered Beast, Psycho Fox... any one of these much better Sega characters. Best thing to happen to Sega Superstars Tennis was Alex Kidd, because Sega finally acknowledged him after like 20 years.
