Never in my life did I expect Tails to cosplay as Tails Doll for Halloween, and boy, do I need some fanart of this design now! (Does that make him a narcissist, though?)

Metal Sonic's green eyes in Memories and Beyond is a huge insight into his character and an insane deep cut

Metal Sonic has had a shocking amount of different eye colors throughout the series. In CD his eyes actually were grey before becoming red post-CD, likely due to technical limitations? They were primarily changed to red to make him more intimidating. The IDW and Mania Adventures shows the eyes flickering to show him "thinking" / "processing". And when he's Super, his eyes glow yellow, which is... more of just a visual showcase than an emotion from what we can gather.

Other eye changes is in Sonic 3, which has the "pupils" shaprening like an animal. Predators do this when preparing to ambush targets by increasing depth of field. Its also famously tied with anger, aggression, and defensive states in cats, which is apporpiate for the scene.

However, the deep cut is that the green eyes come from Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics Games, specifically the DS version in 2009. If Metal Sonic is in 1st place or wins, he posssesses green eyes. This implies that he is GENIUENELY happy at winning.

So if green = happy, then Metal Sonic during Memories & Beyond is HAPPY to duel everyone. And that makes him the most Sonic he's ever been. Sonic faces fear and challenge with a grin on his face no matter the threat or power while Metal has always been shown to be angry, annoyed, or stoic. And its convenient that they just so happen to be Modern Sonic's eye color.

I love how Metal Sonic's been portrayed in the series since the IDW comics, he's never felt more "alive" as a character and not just some mook miniboss.

Sonic Colors is extremely overhated

People jump on the plot and writing. Which I'll be honest it isn't as terrible as people make it out to be tho I will agree it WAS the start of the horrible writing of the 2010 games, BUT I don't think the plot and writing was all too terrible and it was honestly funny at times. IN MY OPINION, there's nothing wrong with a more basic Eggman plot without some giant overarching deep narrative (Tho I LOVE Sonic games with those narratives a ton). Yes, I did find the "copyright law" and "bucket-o-sushi" jokes unironically funny.

I also feel like people just tend to gloss over that the gameplay isn't that bad (this applies to both Wii and DS versions) as well. Sonic Colors as a whole, I'd argue is one of the most beautiful and visually stunning Sonic games of all time. It's bursting with activity and life throughout every location of the game with (one of) the best Sonic soundtracks of all time; the visuals and music is literally timeless like you can go back to this game and have a good time. However I will say it does have faults (mostly regarding to the Wii) that are important to me, the bosses are extremely easy, even on a first attempt and lack of Super Sonic fight. (Ima glaze DS version a bit) I love the bosses in the DS versions cuz unlike Wii, they actually feel unique from each other in both design and gameplay, rather than just the same boss with a few extra bells and whistles and a new get-up, and I also PERSONALLY prefer the OST of the DS version with a good chunk of the soundtrack cuz of percussion in replacement of the orchestra; it gives certain songs that extra kick which I adore. Which back to bosses: I love how DS version got a super sonic fight and Wii didn't, it gives some actual importance to the DS version rather than it being shrugged off as a non-canon version of Sonic Colors.

Lastly, the Wisps. I know MANY people hate the Wisps cuz they overshadowed the Chao, and I can understand that, but I kinda always preferred the Wisps cuz I always found their powers extremely interesting (not even just in Sonic Colors only but ALL wisps) and how creatively they're used throughout a level and the nuttiness u can pull off with them.

Edit: Alright then, mb for having faith and an appreciation for Sonic Colors then so mb.

This line might be the most emotion I've ever heard coming from Sonic in mainline canon

"Guys, I'd never want anyone of you to get hurt!"
