I've had an idea for a Sonic Shuffle sequal which I called "Sonic Shuffle: Superstars". It basically a new selection of boards each based on a franchise such as Curien Mansion, Carnival Town and so on. I came up with the idea when I was trying to think up possible new installments to the Allstar/Superstar series which can promite Sega Amiibos.

Copyright cannot be placed on a genre. A Sega fighting game can recycle it's Virtua Fighter engine. And while I agree copyright can't be placed on a genre, Sonic games are still compared to Mario games and at times as if they were mere knock-offs and that russels my jimmies. For example "Sonic Unleashed" was compared to Super Mario Galaxy with Nintendo fans believing the game stole a bit of core ideas from Zelda: Twilight Princess.

NotLessOrEqual wrote: For the heck of it, just throw in Pre-SG Sonic and Sega Sonic to duke it out, with Pre-SG Archie Sonic's attack methods a bit more harsh or brutal than the SEGA one, something like that to show that the game isnt canon or part of anything, just a fun competetive party game. It doesnt even need a story. If Sega and ACP get lotta money from this, there should be nothing to lose.

Just make sure Pender's creations dont end up on there and they should be good. I dunno, it just doesn't sound like Segas kinda thing to do for a Sonic game, they have their own mandates to follow for reasons. The very least a few non-Sega Archie characters can perhaps be introduced to the games but not without some major changes. For example Ricky is close to Sally will ever have as her equivilent given Ricky was the inspiration to Sally. In fact Sonic the Comic recognise this with their own version of Sally who started out merely a small animal.
