I've been working hard to make sure this minigame is the best it can be! Read the article if you want to know how it works


Here's what you need to know about this minigame:

- Sonic starts off slow but defeating enemies and running on ramps and springs will get you the speed you need.

- The speed cap is 7 on the ground, but in the air there is so limit. You can increase your speed all you want in the air, but as soon as you land your speed will go back to 7.

- Pressing Z in the air will activate the homing attack (minus the homing). This allows you to stay in the air for a bit longer and collect things in the air that are a little out of reach.

- Ramps increase your speed by 2 and bounce you in the air depending on what your current speed is. Lower speed means lower height gained from the ramp and vice versa.

- The spring is very useful if you have 4 or lower speed. It will bounce you the highest Sonic can go no matter what speed you have and will add 1 to the speed counter. Bouncing on these at 5 or more speed will decrease your speed by 1 if you don't go through a trick ring.

- Trick rings allow you to gain speed very easily. Enter one to start a button combo and gain 2 speed. Hitting the button shown next to Sonic will give you a bit of height and make you gain 1 speed for every correct button pressed. If you hit 5 buttons successfully without going through another trick ring, your speed will go up by 5. It's recommended to go through another trick ring after you hit the 5 buttons to gain the most speed out of the combo. The combo will end once you land on the ground, where the speed will go back to 7.

- Enemies and spikes will make you lose speed. Egg pawns will make you lose 2 if you aren't jumping and spikes will decrease 3 no matter what. If you are at max speed or higher on the ground, there will be a warning for when a spike is about to spawn.

- If you go through a trick ring, sometimes a speed shoes item bubble will appear on the top of the screen. Doing a trick combo quick enough added with the higher buttons (A and S buttons make you go higher in a combo) and touching the speed shoes will activate them. Your speed will steadily increase no matter what, even on the ground until the speed shoes theme ends. You can keep that speed on the ground and in the air as long as you don't land.

I'm looking forward to sharing even more of what I've been making. Stay tuned!

These two may be away for the time being, but when they come back they'll be stronger than ever!

The first boss battle of the next update is none other than the great Papyrus! Luigi seems to be struggling a bit... but he has something up his sleeve this time. Read the article for details on Papyrus' attacks

To thank you for the overwhelming support the release of the new update has received, here's a sneak peek at something I'm working on! (Wip)

Vivian - Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door

Through some quick testing, I can confirm that Superstar Simulator works perfectly on Steam Deck! All you need to do is add the EXE file to your Steam Library, set the launch option to Proton, and set your controls to keyboard and touch screen!

The 2024 remake of The Thousand-Year Door reconfirmed that Vivian is trans through a scene where she talks about how it took time for her to realize she was her brothers' sister and not their brother.

I reached 2000 subscribers on Youtube, so to celebrate, the special video will break a long running code barrier I've had

The first test for detailed palette swapping was successful (for the most part)!
