I’m sure for Sonic 2 they did this due to limitations so I’m not sure why Mania did the same thing.īy the way, I'm one of the people who actually prefer the Sonic 3 sprites. It clashes so noticeably and I think they should have shaded using either a darker yellow or brown color. They did this same thing in Mania where they shaded Super Sonic’s sprites with black. These sprites for the corkscrew animation in particular are the most egregious example of that mohawk design creeping in.
Given that it was developed in America at STI I can see why Sonic would have that in some of his sprites. I also don’t like how some of the Sonic 2 sprites have the American mohawk design in them.
