Welcome to Gaia! ::

I would absolutely love a Sonic snowboarding game and wish I could somehow suggest it to Sonic Team.

Here is my imaginary Sonic snowboarding game and how it would play:

The story: Eggman has created a secret base deep in the mountains. He's collected all 7 chaos emeralds and put one at the base of each peak, where he's using them to power robot-making machines. Since the snow is too deep and trecherous for Sonic & Pals to run on, they decide to go at it with boards instead.

It would play like the Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 snowboarding games. You'd start at the top of the mountain and board down to the goal, where the robot machine waits to be destroyed.

Rings would be scattered about, and the more rings you have at one time, the faster your boost will be. Hitting an enemy or trap will make you lose your rings and your boost will go away. Hit one with no rings... well, you know how this one goes.

You'd get points by doing tricks, collecting rings, and defeating enemies. There would be basic ground tricks, grind tricks, and of course ramp tricks. The more impressive the trick (related to how fast you're going while you're doing it or how hard the button combination is), the more points it's worth. You can defeat an enemy by doing a trick in it's face to smash it, and the harder-to-get-to enemies would be worth more points. At the end of the level you'll get a rank depending on how many points you've earned.

There'd be 7 levels with two acts each, and one final level. The level layouts would include in some order the generic mountain, a slightly more difficult generic mountain, a glacial ice cave, a dangerous mostly-grinding level on ski lifts, a trip through a snowy city, through a factory where the roof caved in from too much snow, and a trip around an icy stream with waterfalls. At the end of every 2 acts, there'd be a boss to fight.

All of the rings you still have by the end of the level will be added up to your ring total. You can use these rings to buy new board designs, scarves, hats, and goggles for the characters.

You'd start out with Sonic as the only playable character, and then you'd unlock Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Rouge, and Shadow with every level you'd beat. Each level will have different missions a la Sonic Adventure 2: Beat the level, collect 100 rings, find the lost chao, beat the level in a certain time, beat hard mode. Earning A-ranks will unlock new boards and things to buy in the store, new characters to play as, the sound test, mini games, and other things like that. Extra Characters: Vector, Charmy, Espio, Big, Metal Sonic, Emerl/Gemrl, Gamma, Blaze, Tikal, Chaos, and maybe a few others. All of the characters have different tricks and different special attacks, so the difficulty level for every level changes depending on what character you play as.

And finally, when you beat all of the levels with the 7 main characters, you unlock Super Sonic and his level. Super Sonic has unlimited boosts as long as he has rings (and of course, the ring count keeps going down as you play as him). His special attack lets you beat the final boss. Upon winning the game, you can play as him in every level.

There would be of course, a 2 player mode.

So, what do you think? Ideas, suggestions? Anybody have Sonic Team's snail mail addy?

That sounds like an awesome idea. I tried searching around but all I've been able to find is Sonic Team's japanese website.

omfg heck ya^^

i have a suggestion, if each character had special moves (like tails having some thing lik "advance air" by flight or shadow having "chaos air" where he uses chaos control to stop time and do an uber cool trick) that they could use if they had so many rings or points or something along those lines.

say what you think

so baseicly u meen in sonic adventurer 2 were sonic sown boards on the mt and on the sand dunes?

Ya that would totally rock >_> they need some sorta sonic fighting game.

That idea is amazing you should suggest it to Sega they might take it into consideration.
