I can definitely attest to how deceptively simple it be to optimise for Switch! Lots of minor things that can absolutely tank the perf so good job✨ @lottemakesstuff.pink

Kanga Clanga Badnik from Sonic Superstars. He is cute and orange, with a lovable blank eyed expression.

Kanga Clanga Badnik, as it appears in a 2.5D prototype Evening Star worked on after Sonic Mania. It is balancing on its tail and kicking forward with its springy roo feet! Sonic is knocked to the left with significant kinetic force.

A wider shot of Kanga Clanga hopping in pursuit of Sonic in the outback.

It is now the 8th anniversary of Mania so time to dig up some Sonic trivia... This year, it's Kanga Clanga! (aka the Kangus). This lovable robo-roo originally lived in the outback but now entertains us all in Pinball Carnival Zone!

From what I've seen, the bin file is an encrypted archive and contains 7 different ROMs (maybe one per localized language?). It can defo be extracted and run on real hardware but it goes without saying people should buy this with money!

I'd argue that Sonic 3 Air is a decomp of sorts as well. The game's 68k code was reversed into the engine's lemon script files, cleaned up and modified from there.

GitHub - snesrev/zelda3 Contribute to snesrev/zelda3 development by creating an account on GitHub.

They do exist, github.com/snesrev/zelda3 for example. But overall there is less of need since emulation for those platforms are very mature, accurate and performant, so you're not really gaining a whole lot by recompiling the code for the target processor.

Wow, will absolutely implement this on any new pixel art project I do!

That said, there are some stereotypes that have not aged well and people may find off putting, (blaxploitation, gay men as predators etc). And the English dub does defo makes the whole thing come off a bit more 'try hard edgy' IMO.

I'd say it's great fun if you acknowledge it from the angle of "famous anime studio lets off steam making a madcap homage to western cartoons and pop culture". Great OST, and strong visuals that play around with 2D, 3D and even some live action...

The game code is compiled for the SH2! It was likely converted to C with the aid of a tool then touched up by hand as needed. Sonic & Knuckles collection on PC is the same.

What's interesting is they didn't use the Saturn's monster sound chip to do FM synthesis for the music, missed opportunity!
