Title: Sky/Purple Gems in Sonic '06?
Post by: fastnaturedude on January 07, 2009, 10:02:29 pm: Why isn't there a rule for this? O_o;;

I can't find the topic where a decision was reached, but I managed to find a topic involving a discussion over banning them or not.

The entire game is broken enough, so what does it matter?

Debug mode is a cheat that allows you to move at swift speeds through anything directly to the end of the level (which is always faster than running the level. The Sky and Purple Gems are part of the game you can unlock, plus going directly to the end of the level with these is almost always far slower than running the level.

I think it's plausible that they were actually left in debug functions.

Or that Sonic Team forgot to properly implement the action gauge, since it's always full and never empties.

Post by: Parax on January 11, 2009, 06:01:41 pm: Regardless of what purpose the gems might have had in development, the fact is they're there now and an upgrade no different than light dash or bounce attack, like F-man said. When have we ever banned something because it wasn't supposed to be there, anyway? >_> Things only get banned when they're detrimental to competition. Gems aren't.
