Why did Sonic Mania base Sonic's Sprite off Sonic 1 and CD instead of the Sonic 3 & Knuckles Spirte?

It's superior. Hopefully game mods in the future can fix this.

I agree op

>It's superior
But it's not though

Because it's not actually superior.
That said, there are some elements of it I like that I wish they merged into the design they're using.

S3's sprite is static, stiff and lacking personality.

Same reason why a lot of Mario flash movies on newgrounds use 8 bit or SMB3 Mario over SMW and SMB2 Mario

The sonic 3 sprite is fugly

I keep forgetting how ugly it is everytime i look at it

>lacking personality

Sonic 1/2's standing sprite has a very blank expression. 3's looks like it has a bit of a smirk which gives it a bit more personality IMO

The sonic 3 sprite looks gay?

I dont think so

>clown shoes
>floppy limp dick spines
>covered in lube
>stupid mouth pixel

Thank fuck they left this, Marble Garden, and Carnival Night in the trash where they belong.
