raocow's talkhaus

Make a Good Robot Wants It All Level Contest I'm not sure if this is common knowledge with this game or not (didn't see anything talking about it, but I also didn't look very hard), but this post made me decide on a whim to look at the files; mostly was just curious if it was a common engine like U...

I noticed something when raocow dismissed Omega, and I had to look at it frame-by-frame.

Due to personal reasons (feeling extremely bad about Nintendo's handling of fan-made content, mostly), I've pretty much lost all motivation to work on this. I got the first 3 cups of the game done, and 2 of the Battle courses. Might be a few other unfinished courses in there too. Only 3 of the 8 cha...

I like the rock paper scissors aspect of the game because I think it's fun to have to switch your own tactics to get an upper-hand, or be able to force the opponent into that situation. Admittedly it's a bit weakened by the fact that CPU have no tactics, but it's not that bad, and it's extremely fun...

Recently picked this back up, it's now approximately 75% done. Also putting my OCs in it to replace all of the characters, so it's no longer Mario Kart

To give you a minor idea of how the special stage experience will go for the rest of the Advance games:
- Advance 2's are (comparatively) baby easy, but actually entering them is just as rage educing
- Advance 3's is also depth shenanigans, except playable

I dunno what Viktor's going to do with their life now that this series is over

A couple days late (looks like I caught back up just in time for the haha funny car levels), but: While watching Mission Street's missions, I noticed that practically every jump you failed was because of this horrible physics quirk: if you're falling, and you're pushing against a wall, gravity will ...

Some Big the Cat tips that I had to relearn from my recent playthrough: Press both camera rotate buttons, and it'll reel the line back in instantly! This is a huge time-saver for when you cast in a bad spot, or a random jerk fish is coming for your lure. Hold down to keep the fish hooked! Some of th...

Clearly, the fourth day before Adventure should be doing the Knuckles playthroughs for all the Sonic Jams. Squeeze it of all it's got!

I didn't realize this game uses the same HUD assets as 3D Blast until now.

(Also as iterated by other people, the shoulder buttons are the "do the sharp turns" buttons)

The "decoy" partners are actually more like double edged swords - Bomb is actually incredibly fast, light, and has high jumps. When he gets hit he explodes though, which can damage enemies... AND yourself. - Heavy is the direct opposite, he's totally invulnerable but his heaviness means yo...

Chaotix is like a weird puzzle platformer game more than an actual Sonic game. Made me think of The Lost Vikings but with Sonic physics. I've always kinda liked it, but as you can see it's incredibly janky :V

It feels really awkward that the game makes a much bigger deal about the emeralds than the other games & made them way harder to even attempt & made bosses for each one... then have literally nothing different in the main game except for an airplane dangling around on a string, that's your r...

I only am now realizing that it's a bird because the protagonist's name is Robin

i've heard of that game, yeah

Fun fact, Knuckles' playthrough was originally meant to skip Flying Battery Zone, until the game was split in half and it was moved to the S&K half. Lots of things point to this, such as FBZ having the least Knuckles routes, the little Eggman identity mix-up, and the rest of Knuckles story gener...

Going to Mushroom Hill's forced Hidden Palace entrance basically makes you "deposit" all of your collected Chaos Emeralds. They're literally converted into Super Emeralds there, so that's why you can't turn Super Knuckles -- you technically don't have 7 Chaos Emeralds anymore, you have 6 u...

I've never seen that lumberbot animation either AND I thought the sound he made during it was unused when I heard it in sound test. That sound effect was really memorable to me despite never hearing it in-game because I used it for a frog badnik in a fangame because it sounds like a ribbit. Now I ha...

I'm super glad that you're going to do a Knuckles playthrough! Was one of my biggest concerns about AtS, most people play Sonic & Tails then stop 'cuz they beat the game I'm curious how the comparison will happen for Knuckles, because I think it's really understated how different his playthrough...

100%er here; there is... sort of something like that, but not required at all. The rocket nozzle is there for a SUPER secret passage that takes you straight to the top of the endless stairs (so, pointless now that raocow already has the 32 Shines to get past it). This said passage combined with the ...

2 new themes, Cream Floats & Gear Tower, as well as another Marble Swamp course:


Cream Floats 1


Marble Swamp 2


Gear Tower 1

WIP SMK hack I've been working on for a little over a week. Aiming to redraw all of the track artwork & change the themes up, on top of changing the layouts. It's about 25% done. Screenshots under the spoiler: https://i.imgur.com/R17Xcw5.png Rally Stadium 1 https://i.imgur.com/91unkO6.png Sizzle...
