[instrumental] okay. so. it's pretty clear that at some point during the planning stage, they wanted to set up this little 'trials' segment before sonic could access the castle zone. fine, that's cool, why not, sounds great. also, it's pretty clear that they ran out of time and did not have the time or resources to bring their original trials idea to light. so why did they settle with this half-baked half measure. this is nothing. this is anti-content. like if you don't have time to implement this properly just... just don't do it! Just have the bishop summon his bird and there you go! The team didn't have time to do what they wanted, and so instead they took the time to make something that would make nobody happy. http://www.patreon.com/raocow https://talkhaus.raocow.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18520
