Yeah that one. It's pronounced ick-eh-kap. The concept would later be reused as a joking reference in The Binding of Isaac, though for copyright reasons its spelling and pronunciation had to be slightly altered.

Hi drawcity

Same way you pronounce Audacity

[Anonymous No.6020813]

>>6020628

You're actually on the right track - the name of the level is a relic of the original Hedgehog Kid game that Sonic (in its earliest form) was based on, which, being a rare and ill-fated collaboration between Sega and Nintendo that crossed Sega's new IP (Sonic) with the Kid Icarus setting, naturally included a level that was themed after the monster Hewdraw.

This also explains, incidentally, why Eggman looks faintly like an angel - he was originally intended to be a thinly veiled takeoff of the fallen angel, Lucifer. (This, combined with Nintendo's strict censorship policies at the time, is actually one of the smaller problems that led to the failure of the project.)

It's about where the stress in the word is. Do you stress the O or not? It's more about if it's "Hyd-rocity" or "Hydro-City."

It's a hydro atrocity.

No wonder you're someone who believes 3&K was ready for release and split into two carts

Could go either way, seeing as "metro" and the "metro" in "metropolis" aren't pronounced the same.

>3&K was ready for release and split into two carts
For FUCK'S sake, no one believes that: the game was split DURING development for size and deadline reasons, but the intial plan was to fit it all in one game. You literal neanderthal.

[Anonymous No.6021760]

>>6021719
S3&K was actually ready before the Japanese release of Sonic 3 if proto build dates are to be believed, so S&K was finished earlier than you think and released months later for scheduling reasons.

[Anonymous No.6022150]

>>6021736
>but the intial plan was to fit it all in one game.
Maybe, but that was a plan, not what happened. There was no "split", you literal nigger.
>>6021760
If they finished the whole S&K in roughly 2 months that's impressive, but yeah, they were already on a tight schedule for Sonic 3 because they only had 6 months to develop it, so they released what they could do in those 6 months, which is Sonic 3. Maybe they had some small parts of S&K done, but not the whole game for sure. At any point there was a whole Sonic 3 with 14 levels that they decided to split later. Sonic 3 was made first, then S&K.

Not him but maybe just talk about Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles as people always did, without the need to use the term "split"; because it's incorrect.

[Anonymous No.6022274]

>>6022150
>If they finished the whole S&K in roughly 2 months that's impressive,

They had most of it already done with Sonic 3, they just had to fix bugs and drop in like four new levels (flying battery and lava reef was already near complete in that prototype that just came out).

That disproves the notion that people used to talk about Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles without using the term split, numbnuts, but fine, here's two sources used in the article. One's from Yuji Naka, the other's from Takashi Iizuka:
http://xbox.gamespy.com/articles/654/654750p4.html
https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2016/10/10/how-sonic-the-hedgehog-3-became-two-games-sonic-and-knuckles-lock-on-technology.aspx
They consider Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles two be two halves of the same game; it was "cut in half". In simpler terms, split. No one is saying that the game was 'halved' from some mythical finished Sonic 3 & Knuckles cart. Your words, nobody else's
And to hammer the point home, here's Executive Coordinator Roger Hector using the term "split" long before it itched a 'tism. I'm sure we'd all love to read your paragraph about why he's wrong: https://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_3_%26_Knuckles_-_Behind_the_Scenes_(GamesTM_issue_60)

Sonic & Knuckles ia a dev fork of the Sonic 3 master branch, which itself was stripped of the former. What's so hard to follow? Then again, this is going in circles and the one anon is probably mentally challenged, so joke's on me.

Oops I forgot to mention that they call it in the ALBUM but still
If every other mention of the zone puts a space on it it means they want you to know it's Hydro City, not matter if all words are all together

[Anonymous No.6023190]

All the zones are location names. Why would one level randomly not be a location?

[Anonymous No.6023658]

>>6023190
The word "Zone" is what makes it a location. The words before "Zone" then become adjectives. If you're trying to argue that they're all location descriptors even without the word Zone, then I have to disagree. Green Hill and some others might describe locations, but it doesn't apply to every level.

>Marble is a location
>Star Light is a location
>Scrabled Egg is a location
>Casino Night is a location
>Sky Chase is a location
>Palmtree Panic is a location
>Collision Chaos is a location
>Metallic Madness is a location
>Sleeping Egg is a location
>Electric Egg is a location

Just from the games that came out before Sonic CD. If "Night" and "Chase" don't have to literally describe a location, then neither does Hydrocity.
