What if there are multiple palaces that Knuckles can Switch the emerald between? Like, maybe when he knows someone is looking for it he takes it from the SA one to the Hidden Palace.

I seriously wonder how many people are double dipping. It seems like a decent portion of the forum dwelling crowd is buying it twice.

I will eventually. Switch first, PC later.

I'll be getting it day 1 on Switch, then double dipping eventually on Xbox One to get the Achievements.
And hopefully one day triple dipping for a physical one! >_> On Switch please Sega!
I'm really really excited for it!

Already pre-ordered it on PS4 for the avatars and themes. Will definitely buy on Switch as well, assuming there aren't any issues with the port.
Take my fucking money Mania team.

Steam version collectors on pre-order, Switch and PS4 day one, Xbox when I get the Xbox One X.
Yeah, put me in that crowd. PS4 at launch, then Switch whenever I can afford one

They should make a mobile game out of these special stages.
They should just put Mania wholesale on mobile. I own and play and enjoy the S1/2/CD "remasters" on mobile and would easily buy Mania to have it on my phone.

Switch day 1. I cant justify double dip in PS4 because performance will be on par between both consoles but I would buy a physical release on Switch in a heartbeat.
Sonic Forces tho, Switch for portability and PS4 for performance 😊

Since switch CE isnt gonna be here till the 17th im buying either on ps4 or steam to play on launch day. Whatever one unlocks first ill go with.
Speaking of, do we know unlock times?

My X1 preorder says it unlocks at 11:00am on the 15th, and I'm in Canada. Not sure what it's like elsewhere. Seems like an odd time to me, but I don't usually preorder digital games.

For those waiting on CEs via Amazon, someone on Sonic Retro just said their order has been pushed forward from the 17th to the 15th.
Looks like the CEs might be delivered on release day. Outside of that there's always Steam.

Any word on Super Sonic?
I'm a bigger fan of just gifting copies instead.
I'm up to like 4 so far.
I may have a problem.

This is why we need game gifting on PSN.

PC only for me.
I'm kind of done buying digital on console unless I have no other choice.
At the end of S3&K the Master Emerald is left out in Angel Island Zone, which is where it is in Sonic Adventure 1. Hidden Palace probably caved in. That part's always been consistent and I think people just forgot.

No official word, but we know the Chaos Emeralds are in the game obviously, and I really can't imagine some hardcore Sonic fans being behind a classic styled Sonic game and not putting in Super Sonic.
What I'm far more curious about is Super Knuckles/Super Tails stuff.

The master emerald shrine is also outside in SA1's flashbacks which would take place before 3&K.
Yep, sadly that theory doesn't work because the Master Emerald was outside (in the very same temple, just not in ruins) when the Echidnas were wiped.
I think Sonic Team just didn't feel like recreating Hidden Palace in 3D.

I've been curious as to how co-op in this game works for a little while and am rewatching some videos with that thought in mind.

In this one, Tails moves independently of Sonic instead of attempting to mimic him, obviously suggesting that a 2nd player is behind the wheel. But he's also left behind mere seconds into the video and never respawns. What's up with that?

Knuckles' story in S3&K takes place some time after Sonic's and Hidden Palace is obviously still around, so that doesn't work.
My own headcannon theory for the Master Emerald moving around is that sometime after Chaos wipes out the Echidnas, it is moved underground for protection. After S3K Knuckles decides to return it to its former location.
...but it's probably just Sonic Team being lazy/artistic license.

Seems exactly like how it worked in 2 and 3. Tails basically never catches up unless you stand still. That's why it's more of a "little brother" role to fill because player 2 just gets to pretend to play and watch most of the time. It is cool to occasionally coordinate to get to secret areas via lifting though.
(Never coming back at all in this video may also be a glitch.)
I... don't think so...? The games are pretty loose.
There's a definite chronology, each of the classic games takes place after the previous ones. Totally inconsequential, but there. The 6th gen games did try their hand at a timeline at one point but it got completely handwaved by the modern titles.

CD takes place after Mania.
I'm triple dipping
There's a kid in Sonic Adventure that mentions the events of Sonic CD and Sonic 3&k (when playing as Sonic), but for some reason the kid only mentions it in japanese, which baffles/annoys me.

CD takes place after Sonic 1 qnd before sonic 2
I really don't see CD fitting anywhere in the timeline.
There's no reason why it wouldn't. You could just say that CD takes place before 2 and before he met Tails and before both he and Robotnik discovered the 7th Chaos Emerald (which is why he's after the Time Stones instead).

But the Metallix in Sonic CD is significantly more advanced then Mecha Sonic.
He spent much more effort in designing Metal Sonic as a worthy rival, while Mecha Sonic really only exists to impede him as he finalizes and launches the Death Egg Robot.
