Adventure 1's animation after drowning as he just goes limp and floats to the surface is creepy as hell, and Colors has the best rendition of the music imo, plus the animation for him holding his breath is fantastic.
They made it less realistic because parents were getting angry at Sega for making it to realistic apparently it was scaring children. I want the Color’s one back though.
The Labyrinth Zone is a level where I learned from my childhood where in videogames staying under water for a long time is not a very good idea. Although almost all water levels have good music. :)
Sonic Generations Does It When Modern Sonic When The Counter Goes All The Way Down To Zero And When You Drown Sonic Will Move He's Legs,Hold He's Neck And Puts He's Arm Up
Sonic colours released in 2010: I have an entire animation and cool music when sonic drowns. Sonic boom released in 2014: i make him bounce and make some weird ass noise.
You can actually drown in SA2 if you get stuck underneath the first waterfall in the final area of Cannon's Core if you do the time-stop glitch. It was interesting how only in Colors does he start gasping for air. Generations was funny how he seemed excited about it, but you missed the Wii U version of Lost World. Edit: Unleashed too.
I like that sonic's idle animation in sonic advance 1 could also just be him telling the player that he is gonna drown (well most sonic games do this) Unfortunately people like seeing him suffer lol
I've realized the way sonic dies in adventure 1 is dark 😕 like he actually dies? So as 2 instead of just putting he has up he loses actual consciousness and, flat out dying what?!
