Okay, I've been playing the original SA1 on my Dreamcast and I'm little confused about Sonic's and Tails's final battles and endings.
First off, if the Egg Carrier crashed during midday, why does it take till late afternoon for Tails to fly Amy to Station Square? I'm assuming it was late afternoon because the final battle took during nightfall. On the note, how did Tails carry Amy for several hours?
This and other games, how does Sonic jump off aircrafts, presumambly thousands of feet in the air and land without dieing? He just jumps off the Egg Carrier and lands no problem in the Mystic Ruins.
What causes Eggman, before he launches the missile, to crash in Station Square? Was it the Egg Viper fight?
I have SA1 for years but I didn't even think about the cutscenes that much till now.
Because, it's a game, it's a game and yeah.
Sonic games aren't known for making sense.
Here's a good question: why exactly did the Egg Carrier crash in the first place?
What Psx said, but in addition to that, I think that for the falling one you have to assume that when he lands in front of the entrance to Emerald Coast that sand is soft enough. For the Mystic Ruins... does he fall through any foliage? I can't remember, but I suppose that could be an excuse - the foliage breaks his fall a bit.
I have a question of my own - during the snowboarding section of Icecap, a bunch of bombers fly towards you in formation. Is this the only place that they appear in the whole game, or are they also present in the likes of Sky Chase and Sky Deck? I don't think I've seen anything that looks like them in those stages, but they fly over so fast that you don't really get a good look at them. Does anyone have a picture of them (or any of the Sky Chase fighter plane enemies for that matter, actually - I always try to pause on them as they zip past, because they look cool)?
i think sonic causes the egg carrier to crash. you know that part of one of the levels when you're running across the top of the ship? you run up one side of the ship and hang onto a ladder, behind you you see a whole section of it's wing (or a part of the ship) collapsing.
i'd need to play the game through again to be more sure, but he certainly seems to cause enough destruction in that level. oo;
as for sonic surviving a very high fall? cartoon physics. characters often can survive anything if done in an funny manner. sonic buried head-first in the sand = amusing.
