Much more common than it should have. Even fucking Sailor Moon had a PSA segment at the end of the episode, and in this and pretty much other cases, the 'moral' wasn't even there in the first place.

That matters to some people. If they wanted to talk about issues after the end of the show, they could have shown actual professionals talking about it instead of the cartoons basically saying "Even though we're fake, problems are REAL!" at the end.

Someone else entirely here but does it have to hold up? It's a product of the time that might hold some fond memories for him. Objectively, almost all cartoons like that from the 80s and early 90s are total shite but if they did what they needed to back way back when, then surely that's decent enough.

I'd hesitate to call it "great", but I actually liked the Mario Bros movie. I thought it was an interesting interpretation and had enough nods to the source material.

It's funny that everyone hated it, but reinterpreting characters from "kiddy" series as dark and gritty is all the rage now. It would probably have done better if it were released today.

The Earthworm Jim cartoon is probably the best vidya-based TV show out there. Its universe doesn't really stray at all from the games, the voice cast was star-studded, and most important of all it's very funny.

The Street Fighter movie did some cool stuff for its time, like making sure the whole roster had a speaking line.

Also, they played the game at least a little. How do I know? Guile uses his annoying-ass flip-kick on Bison. Like, backs Bison into the corner with it. I think they got mad at it, too, and really captured that feeling on film well.

I still enjoy the Mega Man cartoon. It's aged, of course, and has those eye-rolling pseudo-science storylines that were common in the 90s, but it can still be entertaining and even it's goofiest and oddest moments are at least funny.

Earthworm Jim suffered from the same problem that Freakazoid and other Kids WB shows did-

They were too good. Way too funny and with jokes too mature for their intended audience.

Actually, Sonic and Knuckles is the best, but I do agree that CD is shit.

>They fucked up the spin dash

They didn't. Instead of focusing on only 1 easy method to gain instant speed, they used 2 different new moves (remember Sonic CD and Sonic 2 were being developed at the same time by different teams). Sonic CD offers the classic spindash (which takes about a second to "load up" before you can release) and the Super Peel Out, which lets you launch off almost immediately (and at higher initial speed than the spindash, too), but at the cost of being open to attacks.

>the level design is very poor to accommodate the whole past/future mechanic, which in itself was incredibly broken.

The level design has very high and low points. Just like in any other Sonic game. The past/future mechanic was what gave the game its exploration direction.

Now I'm not saying it's a perfect game, but I can also talk about a lot of poor design choices on Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic 2, even if I like those better than CD.

Also, AoStH sucked hard but I watched it because it was sanic. SatAM was a bit better, or at least I liked the intro, don't remember the episodes much.

OVAs are the best Sonic animation to date.

I dislike a lot of the gimmicks in 3&K which knocks it down below 2 quite a bit, like the pulley thing in Mushroom Hill, too many obstacles in Flying Battery that make you wait, Sandopolis Act 2 being a clusterfuck, and Death Egg generally was obnoxious to go through. 1 might even be more enjoyable than 3&K even though Labyrinth Zone was awful.

AOSTH was a poor adaptation. If it wasn't for the pressence of Sonic, Tails, and Robotnik then you wouldn't even be able to call it a Sonic cartoon. There were a handful of character designs that came from the games (Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts) but the rest was just random goofy poorly animated generic antrhopomorphic animal people.

Now - was it funny/entertaining? Yes. I honestly think so. There were plenty of moments that I still laugh at to this day and you have to appreciate Long John Baldry's voice work for Dr. Robotnik.

Jim Cummings is cleary the best Robotnik because he actually made a person who would later be nicknamed "Dr. Eggman" SCARY - but Baldry made the role his own and had fun with it and it really shows.

>Shitting on CD

Sonic diverged after 1. CD took the slow, exploration aspects of 1 (Marble Zone/Labyrinth Zone) and expanded on it, whereas american devs made Sonic 2 and took the speed aspects.

I'll agree the time travel aspects can be tedious, such has losing the warps too easily (if for less than a second you lose speed, poof its fucking gone), very rarely getting stuck in walls and aside from really fucking up never actually needing to see the bad futures (if you're not going for 100% which honestly defeats the purpose) which is bullshit cause they have the best music.

I never got super into Sonic as a kid, only actually having played CD earlier this year, I'd rank it over 2, but under 3 & Knuckles.

>>2449961
2's final boss is some straight up goddamn bullshit you know it - I was always saw Sonic's Ring system for bosses as "if you're good, you won't need them, and if you really suck you're gonna spend half the fight in panic trying to grab one before it falls offscreen" and then Sonic 2 just goes "haha fuck you here's 2 bosses, including one huge one who has a very small weak area that you have hit like 20 fucking times, fuck your rings".

In my country Earthworm Jim aired back to back with the Megaman cartoon. I was a HUGE Megaman fanboy, while I was barely familiar with Earthworm Jim (knew what it was, but never played the games), still, I do remember finding the Megaman cartoon very cheesy and Megaman's design very off putting, I mostly forced myself to keep watching because I liked to see the Robot Masters in action. Earth Worm Jim on the other hand, was a blast, it's been a while but I remember laughing pretty hard at this one segment with Evil The Cat where he was trying to execute an evil plan or something and kept having unfortunate accidents and saying something like "this is just a minor setback". I wish I could find it in Youtube or something, I wonder if it holds up.

[Anonymous No.2453769]

Say what you will about furries but Sonic SatAM was the shit back then, even if it barely had anything to do with the games and was mostly fanfiction. I remember fucking waking up at like 6AM just to catch an episode every Saturday, and it was totally worth it. I got very sad when they stopped airing it. All other Sonic cartoons were shit.

I recall most of the Mario shows/Captain N being okay but I think that was mostly because I was much younger when I saw them (5-6 yo) and I liked them simply because they were videogame related and I didn't know any better.

Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 were both pretty hype. Double Dragon was okay. Didn't really care for Mario or Street Fighter.

CAPCOM's american cartoons were shit. Street Fighter anime movie and series were okay (16-episode long hadoken aside), but came in a bit too late, at least for me.
