It has been suggested that the title may have been a mis-romanisation of the katakana "ソニック クラッカーズ".
Graphics from a later build of Sonic Crackers were also found in a June 1994 prototype build of Yuu Yuu Hakusho: Makyou Toitsusen. While there was initial speculation that its claimed "19940401" build date signified an April Fool's joke, the Sonic Crackers name was later found in 1207 prototype of Chaotix. The full story behind Sonic Crackers is not known, however it is suspected to have been created as a pitch within the company to Sega executives, which was later picked up and turned into Chaotix. It sees the player controlling Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower tied together, using each other's momentum to navigate through stages. It's a must-play for any Sonic fan.Sonic Crackers (referred to as Sonic Studium in the ROM header) is an early prototype build of what would become the Sega 32X video game Chaotix. Having 5 zones with 3 acts set on different times of day, and a final showdown against Robotnik and 5 partners to choose from, Knuckles' Chaotix is a rather short but interesting game for a really ill-fated contraption. Get those 7 Chaos Rings, and finish all zones, and you should have completed the game.ĭid you know that some of the gameplay mechanics were explored first on a (really incomplete) prototype named Sonic Crackers? Go check it out.
This time you don't get Chaos Emeralds, but Chaos Rings instead, big colored rings hidden inside of 3D tunnels in the Special Zones. Some puzles can only be solved by controlling your partner in several ways, and if your partner becomes entangled, you can pay 10 rings to return it to your position. Using it you can reach heights by grabbing your partner and launching it towards other platforms, or you can stretch the string and then let it go to get a huge boost. But the combi system makes everything a bit complicated or easier. Knuckles can glide and climb walls, Mighty can attach himself to walls and double jump from them, and so on. The game still looks and works as a regular platformer, with each character having pros and cons. This allows for both a very frantic or a difficult and hindered gameplay. Sporting the new combi system, Chaotix forces you to play with 2 characters in screen, connected by a string of stars generated by two rings on the character's hand. Ivo Robotnik (Eggman in Japan) by turning animals into robots (once again). The game is set in the new Attraction Park/Fair created by Dr. Knuckles' Chaotix, a 1995 game set on the Sonic games universe, lets you play with Knuckles and friends with a whole new different gameplay mechanic, colorful worlds, and great music. However, of all that library, one lone game shines with its own light.
Sega's 32X add-on for the Genesis/Megadrive might have been an ill-fated product, with only few games produced and a short lifespan.
