A Hedgehog in the Big N (Sonic Team at Nintendo)

What? Already? I’ll finish it whenever I feel like it!
Be Careful, when people say this, their TL ended up on a long hiatus.
Still Was just wondering, your post looked like one of those 'this is the last post after the tl got aborted' kind of post, good news them
What About Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons?

Oh, I'll get to that.
 
In case you don’t know...
If you seen the previous threadmark of this timeline, this means that I am not finishing my TL just yet, this is meant to be what to come for the future, folks!

Stay tuned for more details of what’ll be next, ok?
 
Other Games in 1993
Aside from Sonic the Hedgehog: Time 2 Go, other games released by Nintendo have been released!

Notable 1993 releases are The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on the Game Boy, Kirby’s Adventure on the NES, Star Fox on the Super-CD, and of course, Super Mario CD on the Super-CD.

As you can see, Super Mario CD is a sequel to Super Mario World, and here’s how the story goes.:

“After the events of Super Mario World, things are going normal for Dinosaur Island and the Mushroom World, but however, Bowser has returned, and he’s acting rather strange. He has abducted King Toadstool, so it’s up to Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad to find out what’s happening to Bowser! Also, just to wonder, who is under that Pieriott disguise?”

Here are the worlds for this game.:
  1. Koopa Troopa Plains (A normal grassland world. The boss of this world is Boom-Boom.)
  2. Hoo’s Woods (A forest-themed world. The boss of this world is Hoo, the giant owl.)
  3. King Boo’s Haunt (A Mansion-themed world. The boss of this world is King Boo.)
  4. Podoboo Volcano (A volcano/lava world. The boss of this world is Fryguy.)
  5. Wavy Beach (A beach-themed world. The boss of this world is a giant submarine controlled by the Koopalings.)
  6. Gleam Glacier (An ice world. The boss of this world is Blizzaurus.)
  7. Athletic Skies (An aerial, sky-themed world. The boss of this world is Lakithunder.)
  8. Strangest Kingdom (Bowser’s kingdom under a strange influence. The boss of this world is Bowser, and the final boss of this world and this game as a whole is Shadow Mario (A shadowy doppelganger of Mario, the person under the Pieriott disguise, and the man who took control of Bowser and his kingdom).)
It’s more challenging than Super Mario World, but not too difficult. There are new power-ups in this game. One of them is the Jet Helmet, which turns Mario into Jet Mario, who can go really fast (as inspiration of Sonic’s speed). Overall, it’s a very interesting Mario game to go through. So stay tuned for what 1994 has to offer!
 
Sonic Team’s Games for Nintendo’s 1994 Run!
Looking at Sonic Team right now, let’s see what they released for Nintendo in 1994.

First up, Sonic Team’s newest IP, Ristar the Shooting Star!
wYHtzAiZQSbriJZXUXHzZpHVl_ofcjGLEd0B6CCXk6rcbNvEUUYsYIN8jcjphp-bXbU2CALWg_pQjnz-PctTYTtOvQnmK15F0-v1eHCQHVU0TUDKOBZv-j7zWuKcCwYY5-aOcQ9X

Seeing stars, huh? Well, you haven’t seen this star!​
That’s right! Ristar the Shooting Star is Sonic Team’s newest IP at the time and he’s on the SNES. It plays like OTL’s Ristar game on the Sega Genesis, except it combines all elements from OTL’s Genesis and Game Gear versions of Ristar. However, the story differences depending on the region from OTL were kept in.

Also, there’s another Sonic game for the SNES. What is it? Here’s a hint: It’s a racing game.

Sonic on a racecar? How does it work?​
Good question, as the answer will surprise you! Sonic Team made a Mario Kart-esque game with Sonic the Hedgehog characters. As you can see, you can race as Sonic the Hedgehog, Feel the Rabbit, Madonna, Flicky, Dr. Eggman, Vector the Crocodile, Boomer the Turtle, and Miles “Tails” Prower. The racetracks are based on Green Hill Zone, Aquatic Ruin Zone, Dust Hill Zone, Madness Mountain Zone, Desert Canyon Zone, Ocean Wind Zone, Olympus Zone, and Death Egg Zone. Other than that, it’s a Sonic-themed Mario Kart-esque game. What else is there?

Let’s Look at Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Emeralds of Immortality
As you can see, Nintendo and Sony released the Nintendo PlayStation in Q3 1995 (it was released in Q4 1994 in Japan), where it’s like a combination of OTL’s Nintendo 64 and Sony PlayStation consoles, and it can even play games from the Super-CD (making it backwards-compatible).

And speaking of Super-CD, there’s a Sonic game released on the Super-CD, in 1995! What was it called? Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Emeralds of Immortality!
YY_m-TPSvfdpyggGVMIWz7q2i7UAcVYjJLC2l7bpoF1zKYsYFi2bAWCwz3fmtqFLrXKkVP738XH0h-J55gPrf8oYV8xnK4cdHDLYCgVgs4KyuBuMHGF-MqJyEfbeWhBTVBNUQwDG

Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Emeralds of Immortality is set after Sonic the Hedgehog: Time 2 Go!, and as you can see, the story’s probably like OTL’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, except now with some changes!​

The playable characters are Sonic the Hedgehog, Feel the Rabbit, Mighty the Armadillo, Ray the Flying Squirrel, Miles “Tails” Prower (who has to be rescued in Launch Base Zone in order to play as him), Rikki the Squirrel (who has to be found in Mushroom Valley Zone in order to play as her), Waldo the Wolf (who has to be found in Sandopolis Zone in order to play as him), and Knuckles the Echidna (who has to be fought in Hidden Palace Zone in order to play as him, and he even has his own campaign (just like IOTL)). Now, let’s get to the zones!
  1. Angel Island Zone (It’s the same as OTL’s Angel Island Zone, right down to the burning island for the rest of Act 1 (and the entirety of Act 2). Even the bosses are the same from OTL, except after beating the Act 2 boss, Madonna gets rescued.)
  2. Azure Garden Zone (A combination of OTL’s Azure Lake Zone and Marble Garden Zone. It has the bosses of OTL’s Marble Garden Zone.)
  3. Mushroom Valley Zone (It’s a mushroom forest similar to OTL’s Mushroom Hill Zone, and even the bosses from OTL’s Mushroom Hill Zone are here too! In Act 2, you find Rikki the Squirrel a very big green mushroom.)
  4. Hydrocity Zone (It’s the same as OTL’s Hydrocity Zone (right down to the bosses), except it has Jellygnite enemies from OTL’s Sonic 2 2013 remake, water passages with strong water currents, the rideable air bubbles, and even a boat to ride on!)
  5. Ice Cap Zone (It’s the same as OTL’s Ice Cap Zone, and even the bosses are the same from OTL.)
  6. Sphere Tower Zone (It’s an original zone set in a mechanical tower, which has the glowing spheres from OTL’s Glowing Sphere bonus stage, moving platforms, bumper walls, and fans from OTL’s Chrome Gadget Zone. The Act 1 boss is the Gapsule boss from OTL’s Flying Battery Zone. The Act 2 boss is from OTL’s Carnival Night Zone Act 2.)
  7. Endless Mine Zone (It’s like OTL’s Endless Mine Zone, except there are some elements from OTL’s Lost Labyrinth Zone. There are some original bosses, both of which are mining-related.)
  8. Launch Base Zone (Just like IOTL, Launch Base Zone is Dr. Eggman’s site that houses the stricken Death Egg, with spinning elevators for facilitation of travel and alarms to keep out intruders. Even the bosses are the same from OTL, but after beating the Big Arms boss, Tails gets rescued!)
  9. Wave Tropics Zone (A beach zone where it has lots of waters and waves, palm trees and bridges, so on, and so forth. There are some original bosses, both of which are beach-related.)
  10. Balloon Carnival Zone (It’s a combination of OTL’s Balloon Park Zone and Carnival Night Zone. The Act 1 boss is OTL’s Carnival Night Zone Act 1 boss, but the Act 2 boss ITTL is something completely different. (Hint: It’s got something to do with balloons.))
  11. Flying Battery Zone (This zone is the same as it was IOTL, except the Act 1 boss is the Act 1 boss from OTL’s Flying Battery Zone (Sonic Mania).)
  12. Sandopolis Zone (It’s the same as it was IOTL, same applies to the bosses. In Act 2, you find Waldo the Wolf in one of the capsules.)
  13. Lava Reef Zone (It’s the same as it was IOTL, same applies to the bosses.)
  14. Hidden Palace Zone (Essentially the same as OTL’s Hidden Palace Zone, but fleshed out into a full “two act” (though more 1.5 act) zone with Knuckles serving as the Act One boss. Act Two is shorter and focuses on Eggman’s siege of the Hidden Palace (introducing the Egg Robos) and theft of the Master Emerald. There is no true “boss” for narrative reasons.)
  15. Sky Sanctuary Zone (It’s the same as it was IOTL, same applies to the bosses. It’s also Knuckles’ last zone in his own campaign.)
  16. Death Egg Zone (It’s the same as it was IOTL, but this time, the final boss is a mysterious entity trapped in the Master Emerald known as “Smaragd”, who sends Dr. Eggman to another dimension, where he is never seen again.)
  17. The Doomsday Zone (It’s the same as it was IOTL, except Smaragd takes the Doomsday Zone boss from OTL’s place. This is provided you are playing as Sonic and collect the seven Chaos Emeralds.)
Well, that’s all the zones to cover!

This version of Sonic 3 has Mode-7 (just like the first one), that is all. Same goes to the differences from the SNES Sonic 1 and 2.

As you can see, Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Emeralds of Immortality has been one of the biggest hits on the Super-CD right now! It even has the voice acting from the animated Sonic the Hedgehog TV series too! Now, will there be a Sonic game on the Nintendo PlayStation? Only time will tell.

So, would this affect anything (and the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise as well)?
 
(It’s the same as it was IOTL, but this time, the final boss is a mysterious entity trapped in the Master Emerald known as “Smaragd”, who sends Dr. Eggman to another dimension, where he is never seen again.)
And Eggman still have not learned that Evil is not a toy....

Amazing game, would be the CD best seller and a such packed game make it a must own game. Terrific work
 
Let’s Look at Kirby’s Dream Team
Before we get to the main topic, here’s something to say.:
“In 1995, the live-action Mortal Kombat movie got released and has become the first live-action video game movie adaptation ever done in TTL, and it was a hoot, even if it’s rated PG-13 where the original games have way more blood and guts. Also, Pixar and Warner Bros. released the first fully CGI movie released to theaters known as “Toy Story”, where it’s focused on Buzz Lightyear (Billy Crystal) with an antagonistic but not villainous Sheriff Woody (Tom Hanks). The movie is the same as it was IOTL, except the plot is quite different. Now, you may be wondering why Toy Story was released by Warner Bros. ITTL, right? It’s because after the “Black Friday Incident”, Pixar leaves Disney to work for Warner Bros., and as for Disney? Well, Michael Eisner accepts Jeffrey Katzenberg's ideas for The Prince of Egypt and Sinbad. Oh! And as for Dreamworks, it becomes Disney’s personal CGI film company ITTL.”
And now, let’s get to Kirby’s Dream Team! Consider this to be a mixture of OTL’s Kirby’s Dream Land 2 and Kirby Super Star.
MtQDQ3xs3_Vxxk5ahSsgTfXfm6CG7mEkF4QAyDnrUTAjjQmcuTzctO7TW8Q82PoQOMlGo7jNWKjF3eCN8IhKtCohCa7MzxXhJ3Q5qX08LdEREc5IZDdDSC2xxBCyN_K1P-PuvCrF

Kirby’s Dream Team is like what I said, a mixture between OTL’s Kirby’s Dream Land 2 and Kirby Super Star, obviously. Here’s the story for this game.:
“After the events of Kirby’s Adventure, all was peaceful in Planet Popstar...till Jestarz the Star Jester shattered the Star Road! So, with his old enemy King Dedede, a Waddle Dee with a blue bandana and a spear, and an artist who brings her paintings to life...ha-ha! Kirby fought an evil giant chameleon and a killer orca whale and recovered the seven stars! Oh, there’s also some animal friends involved.”​

In this game, you play as Kirby, Bandana Waddle Dee, Adeleine, and King Dedede. Each one of them has their own abilities. Kirby’s the only one to use copy abilities, obviously. The others have their own abilities. Also, there are animal friends to ride on, and they are Rick the Hamster, Coo the Owl, Kine the Fish, ChuChu the Small Pink Octopus, Nago the Cat, and Pitch the Little Green Bird. Oh! As for the copy abilities? Same ones as seen in OTL’s Kirby Super Star. Now, let’s get to the levels.
  1. Grass Land (The usual first level of any Kirby game, it is mostly flat, but has some hills and platforms. For the second half, you get to go to Dedede’s Castle (where it has an arrangement of the Butter Building music), where you face the boss of this level, Fake Dedede! Whispy Woods is the secret boss of this level and he is one of the two secret bosses of this game.)
  2. Big Forest (Big Forest is home to Coo the Owl and features a number of stages that expand both horizontally and vertically. The boss of this level is Pon and Con.)
  3. Ripple Field (A small island floating on a large ocean. Kirby's not the best swimmer, but don't give up, because Kine the Fish is a good swimmer! The boss of this level is Acro, the big orca whale.)
  4. Old Tower (A very old tower filled with some tricks and traps to go through. The boss of this level is Chameleo Arm.)
  5. Iceberg (Kirby's enemies are determined to put him on ice! The mazes get a bit more complex in this stage, with a few clever puzzles thrown in for good measure. Look for hidden items. The boss of this level is the Ice Dragon.)
  6. Red Canyon (As the name implies, there are a lot of gaps and drops in this stage. Kirby can float, but airborne enemies ensure that the skies are anything but friendly. Will you spit at an enemy, only to deflate and fall into a bottomless pit? The bosses of this level are Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright. Meta Knight is the secret boss of this level and he is one of the two secret bosses of this game.)
  7. Cloudy Park (Here's where your flying prowess will really be put to the test, especially if Coo is not around to help wade through enemies. Search high and low for doors and bonuses. The boss of this level is Kracko.)
  8. Dark Castle (You'll have to tackle this final stage without benefit of maps or specific tips. Your friends are counting on you to rid Dream Land of the crazy Jestarz the Star Jester (who resembles Marx, but with a body) once and for all. Of course, the final boss of this game is Jestarz the Star Jester.)
As for the minigames, you have Gourmet Race, Megaton Punch, and Samurai Kirby. However, after beating the game, you get to go to The Arena!

Overall, Kirby’s Dream Team has been known to be one of the greatest SNES games ever ITTL, so that’s how it was.

So, would this affect anything (and the Kirby franchise as well)?
 
So, would this affect anything (and the Kirby franchise as well)?
Wonder if instead of the microgame style, Kirby games would goes the more packed style, Kirby is the experimental series for Hal, not two games tends to be the same(with exceptions and even them both games have difference/evolution) and all are very good one, wonder how this one might affect Kirby the Crystal Shards equivalent here
 
Let’s Look at Pokemon: Gotta Catch ‘Em All!
You may not know this, but in 1993, Accolade released Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, only to get sued by Nintendo. Because of that, Accolade decides to stay away from making another Bubsy game ever again ITTL.

Now, let’s get to what we have here, “Pokemon: Gotta Catch ‘Em All!” On the SNES!
wyeMWY666Y_9HE8M6EtUw-j7PRMBIU9C8feQTRsWUhQD9GLZ43z8nB5dKdVvDLhei2Oy5Svay2eLGAmN7UtNkp4eZ1v5dO6uHzMF8LknXOJIibMtuG6QgT0vNv8QTUl7einshId2

This is the first Pokemon game you see in TTL, and it’s now on the SNES! Plus, it even contains a special Game Boy cartridge where you can store some of your Pokemon into your GameBoy just so you can trade your Pokemon with others’ too!

Just like OTL’s Pokemon Gen. 1 games, it takes place in Kanto. It even has the same storyline as it did IOTL, except it has a playable female character as a counterpart for the playable male character. Also, even the Pokemon were different!:
  • The three starter Pokemon remained the same from OTL, along with their evolutions.
  • The Caterpie and Weedle evolution line stays the same, as does the Pidgey evolution line (Although Pidgeotto was known as “Pidgeonair” ITTL.)
  • The Rattata, Spearow, Ekans, Pikachu, and Sandshrew evolution line stays the same as well.
  • The Nidoran evolution line was the same, but as for Nidoran ♂︎ and Nidoran ♀︎? They only had their names changed to Nidobubba and Nidobelle respectively.
  • Clefairy is renamed to Aria and Clefable is renamed to Ariala.
  • The Vulpix, Jigglypuff, Zubat, Oddish, Paras, Venonat, Diglett, and Meowth evolution line stays the same for that matter.
  • Psyduck retains its Japanese name (Koduck) while Golduck stays the same as it did IOTL.
  • The Mankey and Growlithe evolution line stays the same, as does the Poliwag evolution line (Although Poliwag resembles this old version of it.)
  • The Abra evolution line stays the same as it did IOTL.
  • Machop, Machoke, and Machamp had their names changed to “Kara-Tee”, “Kung-Foo”, and “Ju-Doh” respectively.
  • The Bellsprout, Tentacool, Geodude, and Ponyta evolution line stays the same as it did IOTL.
  • Slowpoke is renamed to “Slowmo” while Slowbro stays the same as it did IOTL.
  • Magnemite and Magneton had their names changed to “Coil” and “Recoil” respectively.
  • Farfetch'd is renamed to “Fowler”.
  • The Doduo, Seel, Grimer, Shellder, and Gastly evolution line stays the same as it did IOTL.
  • Onix stays the same as it did IOTL.
  • Drowzee is replaced with Hotlein, a Psychic/Fire Pokemon holding a telephone. As for Hypno? It’s replaced with Oracoal, a Psychic/Fire Pokemon that utilizes tarot cards.
  • The Krabby evolution line stays the same as it did IOTL.
  • Voltorb is replaced with Ticko-Tocki, an Electric/Fire Pokemon resembling a bomb and Electrode is replaced with Ka-Bomba, an Electric/Fire Pokemon resembling an atomic bomb.
  • Exeggcute and Exeggutor had their names changed to “Eggstreme” and “Eggstra” respectively.
  • The Cubone evolution line stays the same as it did IOTL, but Kangaskhan becomes an evolution of Marowak, and its baby is a Cubone.
  • Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Lickitung, the Koffing and Rhyhorn evolution line, Chasney, and Tangela stay the same as they do IOTL.
  • The Horsea, Goldeen, and Staryu evolution line stays the same as it did IOTL.
  • While Electrabuzz, Magmar, Pinsir, and Tauros stay the same as they do IOTL, Mr. Mime is renamed to “Mimicime”, Scyther is renamed to “Stryke”, and Jynx is replaced with a Yuki-Onna-like Pokemon known as “Blizzarella”.
  • The Magikarp evolution line stays the same as it does IOTL, that is all.
  • Lapras, Ditto, the Eeveelotuions, Porygon, and the Fossil Pokemon stay the same as they do IOTL.
  • Aerodactyl, Snorlax, the three legendary bird Pokemon, the Dratini evolution line, and Mewtwo stay the same as they do IOTL.
Oh! And when the enhanced version of Pokemon: Gotta Catch ‘Em All! Was released on the Nintendo PlayStation one year after the original, nine more Pokemon were added in, and they were:
  • An evolution line that resembles Weedle’s early evolution line. Kokana will start off as a pure Bug-type, until evolving into Kasanagi (which is a Bug/Fighting-type), and later evolving into “Roachamp” (which is also a Bug/Fighting-type).
  • Godzillante and Gorillaimo are added in as well as Crocky and Jaggu.
  • A fourth legendary bird Pokemon was added in, which was a Grass/Flying-type known as “Ferncuatro”.
  • And of course, the first mythical Pokemon itself, Mew.
As you can see, “Pokemon: Gotta Catch ‘Em All!” was released on the SNES in 1995, while the enhanced remake was released on the Nintendo PlayStation a year after the original release. Also, a Pokemon anime was released, although it’s more like OTL’s Pokemon Origins instead of what it ended up being IOTL. On a side note, the Porygon incident never happens.

Overall, just like IOTL, Pokemon has been a successful franchise for Nintendo, just like Mario, Sonic, Legend of Zelda, and others too! It surely was a big hit!

So, would this affect anything (and the Pokemon franchise as well)?

Let’s Look at The Legend of Zelda: Oracles of Seasons, Ages, and Secrets
Before we move on to our main subject, let’s check on Disney. Disney has plans for an animated Pocahontas adaptation, but due to production issues, they decided to work on a Don Quixote adaptation.

Now, let’s get to the Legend of Zelda game on the Super-CD, which is called “The Legend of Zelda: Oracles of Seasons, Ages, and Secrets”.
PluA42hLtqgTPEIx0_hoDQk3LcWmMad1tmqFEpwKfyD_aZe6hdwx7zoE3JA8tUVEznc6nolKPr3ja2dHrRxX0Ln2E_BqBAW7CHwSP7JpuFpuc9JhyzOC6grLNJQlR24ngtDPTmOy

Consider this to be the equivalent to OTL’s Oracle Series, except here, it follows more of this.: https://zelda.gamepedia.com/Oracle_Series#The_Triforce_Series

As you can see, it’s probably like OTL’s Oracle Series, except now the graphics are updated, as does the music, and there’s even some voice acting! The Ages and Seasons routes are the same as OTL’s Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons respectively, while the Secrets route is a wholly original story. It’s been known that Din is the Oracle of Seasons (like IOTL), but Nayru is the Oracle of Secrets and Farore is the Oracle of Ages (and of course, even their color schemes get switched).

I am not sure on what to add to this, but would this affect anything (and the Legend of Zelda franchise as well)?

  • While Electrabuzz, Magmar, Pinsir, and Tauros stay the same as they do IOTL, Mr. Mime is renamed to “Mimicime”, Scyther is renamed to “Stryke”, and Jynx is replaced with a Yuki-Onna-like Pokemon known as “Blizzarella”.
  • The Magikarp evolution line stays the same as it does IOTL, that is all.
  • Lapras, Ditto, the Eeveelotuions, Porygon, and the Fossil Pokemon stay the same as they do IOTL.
  • Aerodactyl, Snorlax, the three legendary bird Pokemon, the Dratini evolution line, and Mewtwo stay the same as they do IOTL.
Oh! And when the enhanced version of Pokemon: Gotta Catch ‘Em All! Was released on the Nintendo PlayStation one year after the original, nine more Pokemon were added in, and they were:
  • An evolution line that resembles Weedle’s early evolution line. Kokana will start off as a pure Bug-type, until evolving into Kasanagi (which is a Bug/Fighting-type), and later evolving into “Roachamp” (which is also a Bug/Fighting-type).
  • Godzillante and Gorillaimo are added in as well as Crocky and Jaggu.
  • A fourth legendary bird Pokemon was added in, which was a Grass/Flying-type known as “Ferncuatro”.
  • And of course, the first mythical Pokemon itself, Mew.
As you can see, “Pokemon: Gotta Catch ‘Em All!” was released on the SNES in 1995, while the enhanced remake was released on the Nintendo PlayStation a year after the original release. Also, a Pokemon anime was released, although it’s more like OTL’s Pokemon Origins instead of what it ended up being IOTL. On a side note, the Porygon incident never happens.

Overall, just like IOTL, Pokemon has been a successful franchise for Nintendo, just like Mario, Sonic, Legend of Zelda, and others too! It surely was a big hit!

So, would this affect anything (and the Pokemon franchise as well)?
This is gonna be good and better than not having those missing Pokemon in OTL's Pokemon.
