Why does sega want us to forget that this was a thing?

Because try searching “hyper sonic” on R34 or e621

and a sweet ass double jump that is also a screen nuke? fuck yes

Hey dude, I'm in Ramadan

There've been many games with Sonic giving a thumbs up.

how can it be a ripoff if super saiyan rainbow isnt a thing
...yet

it would be "hyper_sonic" in that case

Because Hyper Sonic, Hyper Knuckles, and Super Tails were apology bonuses for having to split Sonic 3 & Knuckles into two separate games as well as giving you something to do in the &K stages after collecting the Chaos Emeralds in the 3 stages. That's it.

true, but that only explains why it exists, not really why it didnt stay.
i mean, sega was stupid enough to turn sonic into a werewolf, so its not like another form was too much for them

gotta go fast

The people that added it in are long gone and Iizuka hates it.

Sega thinks it's pointless to bring back because of what it was. It's why the Super Emeralds are cracked and powerless in Mania.

>cringe
Reddit might be a little more your speed

yeah. it sucks they had to rub salt in the wound though. some people were really hoping for extra collectables in mania. there was even some images in the code that suggests that they were going to be collectable at one point.

god i cant wait until that hack leaves the company. how he even let whitehead give the rest of the cast a super form is beyond me

Because ST is lazy and stupid as hell.
S3&K wasnt only the last time Hyper form was available, but Super form wasnt playable in stages for over 14 years or some shit until Colors happened with super forms stuck to last story. Then they ignored Super form in Forces and they were forced to make it as dlc because they were bashed for it. Then there is also this thing that only hedgehogs can be Super in 3d games, because Iizuka said so.
The last time there were special stages to get emeralds was in Heroes. So yeah, they are fucking lazy and stupid to a point they removed spindash and rolling ability from Sonic since Adventures with a "cameo" in Unleashed and Generations.

About the hyper forms they wont come back because according to Iizuka, the super emeralds are gone.

>Then there is also this thing that only hedgehogs can be Super in 3d games, because Iizuka said so
Addendum: only MALE hedgehogs can have Super forms.

Forgot about the "no girls allowed". That kinda explains why they do their utmost to ignore Blaze and the Sol Emeralds.

>Because ST is lazy and stupid as hell
you got that right.
>only hedgehogs can have super forms and super emeralds are gone
Iizuka acts like hes keeping some kind of integrity to the franchise or something by doing shit like this, but ST is also the same developers that made forces, the most nonsensical and fanservicey sonic game to date.
old autistic fans of the series would literally screech in delight and throw their money at ST if they brought hyper sonic back, but as we all know, sega hates money.

Not really, she gets a pass because it's not a traditional Super mode with the traditional Chaos Emeralds.

The last sonic game has super sonic so Im not sure what you are on about

>had to add it in later as paid dlc
btw its not super sonic

no but they copied knuckles rose

They've had it out for the Chaos Emeralds ever since 2006. Hell cut colors dialog was going to have Eggman reveal the Wisps were more powerful.

>Forces
Reminds me how that stupid game have a character creation, but there isnt Echidna race. Or some robot option that could be similar to Omega/Gamma or Emerl.
