AI Prompt: Write an entry in Dr. Eggman's diary about Gameworld.

Dear Diary,

I recently unveiled my latest creation - Gameworld! It's a virtual reality theme park where people can experience all sorts of video game worlds. Why, you ask? Well, why not? I'm not just a mad scientist, I'm also a mad entrepreneur.

I have to admit, it's been a hit so far. People are flocking to Gameworld, eager to experience the adventures that they've only ever dreamt of. It's a little strange seeing people enjoy themselves in something I created, but hey, I guess it beats being hated all the time.

The best part? I made sure to insert a few traps and obstacles in some of the worlds, just to keep things interesting. It's like my own personal amusement park ride. Watching people get frustrated and struggle to get through a stage is just...heavenly.

Of course, I couldn't resist putting a Sonic stage in there. It's just too perfect. Watching people get stuck in some of my maze-like levels instead of breezing through them like Sonic just makes me giddy with delight.

I even have some Egg robots roaming around as part of the "experience." It's like a little bonus feature - dodge the robots as you make your way through the levels. It's really quite fun to watch.

All in all, I'm pretty pleased with Gameworld so far. It's just another step towards my ultimate goal of world domination. Hey, maybe I'll even theme one of the levels after myself. The Eggman Experience, anyone?

Until next time,

Dr. Eggman

HO-HO-HO, MOTHERFU-

Check out what I made in GameWorld

I did not include Wacky Worlds Creativity Studio because it appears to be a big Sega Crossover game.

I ran out of options, if you don't like the games and only like the comics/cartoons, don't vote, reblog, and say so in the tags!

RULES AND DISCLAIMERS:

If you don't see YOUR game here, it's probably on another poll. Please try to attempt to look at the other polls before saying "You forgot that one!" Because it's possible I didn't. Participate on this one anyway though! Consider it as your game of this particular grouping!

I'm gonna give all the polls the tag "Lea's Sonic Games Poll" to help us find them... But my blog is cursed and sometimes my posts fall into the void. Sorry about that if it happens to the poll with Your Game on it.

I'm gonna run all the winners against each other once this first round of polls ends.

If I lumped a series together, but you only like one of the titles (Example: I put Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure together, but you only like Sonic Rush), tell me in the tags! Also if you only prefer a specific console release and I didn't make it its own option (example: Dreamcast vs GameCube Sonic Adventure), tell me that in the tags too!

If you disagree with how I arranged these... 🤷 Run your own poll, IDK.

Play nice, guys! This is for fun and to satiate my curiosity. Thank you for participating!

Tails and the Music Maker

Original platform: Sega Pico

Original release: 4th October 1994

Available to buy: No

Like Sonic the Hedgehog’s Gameworld, this is on an educational system based on the Mega Drive called the Pico.

Tails and the Music Maker isn’t so much a game you play from start to finish, but a collection of minigames and activities. The first page features a simple platformer game, across three short levels of a Green Hill Zone that turns more blue for each level. At the top of the screen are instructions for Tails to stop, tip-toe, jump or run. Tails will have to go slow to dodge coconuts and jump to make it over gaps (although if you fall, a spring will launch you back out. Also on this page is a simple game of musical chairs, played against frogs on lily pads.

Page 2 features a pinball game, where hitting instrument icons will cause the sound. Hitting the bell at the top seems to end the game. There’s also a minigame where you have to draw circles around notes. Page 3 features an extremely slow Arkanoid clone where you bounce tails around to break blocks of music.

Page 4 features a matching game. Click on an instrument and it will play the sound of another, click on the right one and they’ll vanish. This one doesn’t work well at all as the sounds don’t sound anything like each instrument, so instead you have to learn the tune played by each instrument. You can also play along (a few notes at a time) to a few nursery rhymes.

The final page features a simple drawing studio. You can click on colours on the book and draw whatever you choose, and add Sonic and Tails from the book as well. You can also visit a music studio and listen to the sounds of each instrument (the same as the ones from the previous game that don’t sound like the instrument) or to the nursery rhymes.

As an “edutainment” title, Tails and the Music Maker seems to be completely lacking on the “educational” side of things. The Pico seems like it’s aimed at slightly older children, whereas the functions of this game – at least the music-related ones – seem similar to most light up electronic keyboard toys that you can get for kids around the age of 1-2, and provide a more tactile feedback. And those ones usually have additional functions to teach colours, numbers and shapes.

"As a matter of fact," rubbing his nails against his shirt, tone leaving his throat smugly, he responds to the other, "I did. I'm surprised someone else knows that!"

Scott folds his arms over his chest, nose stuck up proudly. In his excitement to meet another superfan of the steadfast blue blur, he hadn't so much as opened his eyes.

"But did you know that in Sonic The Hedgehog's Gameworld, the toys..."

But then he does.

"...In the Toy Drop minigame were... modeled after the... real... set..." Visibly, he swallows a lump in his throat.

"Woah... are you... actually Tails?"

"Did you know Sonic The Hedgehog's first official appearance wasn't actually in one of his own games? He debuted as an air freshener in the front window of Rad Mobile. Isn't that weird? Can you imagine starting your career as an air freshener then becoming one of the most recognizable figures in the world? Anyways, I thought that was cool. Did you also know the flickies predate him by several years?"
