A Speedy Sonic Sidestory: Life's as X-treme as You Wanna Make It!
First off, the storyline!:
As for the playable characters, they were Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles “Tails” Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Feel the Rabbit, Tiara Boobowski, Sally Acorn, and Bunnie Rabbot (The latter two are from the Sonic the Hedgehog anime (known as Project Sonic the Hedgehog (also known as Sonic and the Stories of Mobius outside of Japan)). Each one of them has their own ability.
As for the levels, here’s what they are.

- Galaxy Fortress/Death Egg (Reference: http://info.sonicretro.org/Galaxy_Fortress) (Act 1 Boss: Mecha Mite; Act 2 Boss: Darkpool Gorilla; Act 3 Boss: Dr. Robotnik; Final Boss: The Almighty Creator of the Worlds (SPOILER ALERT: He’s using Dr. Robotnik as his own minion, and after defeating Robotnik, the egg-shaped doctor betrays TACotW and it’s now time for the final battle between Sonic and the Almighty Creator of the Worlds) (He's also based off of the demon-like entity in the background from this Sonic 1 concept art))
Also, in 1997, Sonic The Fighters managed to get a console port on the Sega Saturn (With an added feature of having Honey The Cat as a secret character).
And speaking of 1997, let’s get to what we have in store!
Nice game, and we got all the friends playable early, nice idea using that beta element as a genuine suprise
1997: Nintendo Takes the Credit and the Cake
More games have been released for the Nintendo Ultra-64, and they include the following.:
Since Pokemon Red and Green are released outside of Japan, they are based on a slightly enhanced version of the Japanese Pokemon Blue Version that was released in 1997 (in Japan). Compared to the OTL North American Pokemon games, these can be described as slightly enhanced from OTL's Pokemon Red and Blue, but not quite on the level of Pokemon Crystal, with one major exception: the soundtrack, which has been totally overhauled for the enhanced speakers in OTL's Game Boy Color. While the games can be played on an original Game Boy unit, Game Boy Color players get a version of the game that is slightly bumped up in graphics and with sound quality approaching that of a Super Nintendo game. Many of the glitches found in OTL's Pokemon games do not appear in these, though the Missingno glitch is the most notable that remains. The glitch allowing players to obtain Mew via RNG manipulation has been removed, indeed, most of the RNG manipulation glitches have been taken out of the game.
Butterflies have left the original 150 Pokemon largely untouched, the major butterflies concerning alternate Pokemon do not occur until the sequel to the game. However, thirteen of the original 150 have either been majorly altered or switched out entirely, those are:
The Pokemon anime (which was released in 1997 in Japan, but was released in 1998 outside of Japan) is also, at least for the first 70 episodes or so, nearly identical to the version that appeared IOTL. There are subtle changes which include:
Also, the dubbing for the Pokemon anime will be done by Funimation. But as for 4Kids Entertainment? It’ll be the Sonic the Hedgehog anime known as Project Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic and the Stories of Mobius when outside of Japan) when it’s in its sixth season.
But wait! There’s more!
Anyway, that was a packed year for Nintendo. Stay tuned for 1998 right now! So, don’t touch that dial!
- BowserQuest: The 64 Tasks gets released this year. This is all about Bowser and his crew going through the 64 tasks set by a mysterious foe. The 64 tasks can be done in sixteen different worlds (Examples include: Dragon’s Caverns (a cavern owned by a very large dragon), Shadow Oasis Dungeon (which has returned from BowserQuest 3: Beyond Light and Dark), Dynatown (a city set in a tokusatsu world), and Mt. Outcast (a mountain that’s owned by Mr. Everest)), each one of the worlds having four tasks each.
- Capcom brings two Mega Man games, including the impressive Mega Man Legends, to the Nintendo Ultra-64.
- Madou Monogatari 1-2-3 gets a release on the Nintendo Ultra-64, where the plots come from the OVA that the original game was based on, adds new enemies like a manticore, a cat woman, and a jiangshi, brings back lesser-known enemies like Komori Gal, Kurogga, and Fake Carbuncle, contains FMV cutscenes, additional bosses, and an expanded soundtrack (as well as ones for each type of boss (whether it be a mini-boss, a regular boss, or something unique for certain bosses (examples include Fudoshi, Schezo Wegey, the Dark Prince (or Satan if you’re Japanese), and Minotauros). Also, it gets released outside of Japan.
- Mario Artist, a “sequel” to Mario Paint, is released for the Nintendo Ultra-64.
- Mario Kart Rendered gets released outside of Japan.
- Namco brings their PS1 releases (Klonoa and Namco Museum) to the Nintendo Ultra-64.
- Other third-party games such as Doom 64, Final Fantasy VII, Bomberman 64, Snowboard Kids, and Mischief Makers (correct me if I’m wrong) are brought into the Nintendo Ultra-64.
- Rare brings Diddy Kong Racing and GoldenEye 007 to the Nintendo Ultra-64.
- Star Fox 64 gets released, and it adds Miyu and Faye (from Star Fox 2) to the game as part of the Star Fox team, two new members of the Star Wolf team who are never seen IOTL known as Ravena Romanaria (a raven girl who is an evil counterpart of Miyu) and Mephitina (a skunk girl who is an evil counterpart of Faye), and there are a few courses never seen IOTL, and one of them’s a world of poisoned forests. Other than that, Star Fox 64 is the same as it was IOTL.
- Yoshi’s Story gets released this year. However, the difference from OTL is that Kamek and Baby Bowser are replaced with Magikamek (Kamek’s brother) and Widdle Tywano (Tyrano’s son).
Gotta Catch ‘Em All, Pokemon!
This ain’t the only thing that Nintendo has released though.
While released in 1996 in Japan, this new IP has been released around the world in the year 1997! Two of Nintendo’s biggest hits ever, Pokemon Red and Green, launched on the Game Boy Color across the world in early 1997, and became MONSTER hits! Nintendo and Game Freak make a deal to partner up, making the latter a new first-party developer for Nintendo. Pokemon becomes a worldwide phenomenon, not just a video game, but with trading cards, an animated television series (made in Japan), and plenty of merchandise with Pikachu’s face on it, it’s certain that Nintendo has struck gold with this newest IP.This ain’t the only thing that Nintendo has released though.

Butterflies have left the original 150 Pokemon largely untouched, the major butterflies concerning alternate Pokemon do not occur until the sequel to the game. However, thirteen of the original 150 have either been majorly altered or switched out entirely, those are:
- Nidoran ♂︎ and Nidoran ♀︎ → Names changed to Nidobun and Nidobell respectively
- Gastly/Haunter/Gengar → become pure Ghost-types, with Gengar becoming a Ghost/Dark-type Pokemon ITTL (As of Gen. II at least)
- Voltorb → replaced with Ticko-Tocki, an Electric/Fire Pokemon resembling a bomb
- Electrode → replaced with Ka-Bomba, an Electric/Fire Pokemon resembling an atomic bomb
- Lapras → name changed to Locinesa
The Pokemon anime (which was released in 1997 in Japan, but was released in 1998 outside of Japan) is also, at least for the first 70 episodes or so, nearly identical to the version that appeared IOTL. There are subtle changes which include:
- Better character development.
- The whole show is less childish.
- All of the badges would be won fair and square.
- Gary, A.J., and Ritchie would all be Ash's main rivals, and appear as much as OTL’s Paul and Barry do, so that they're developed much more.
- Ash's Primeape appears more often and stays on his team instead of being given away after four episodes.
- After protecting the Pidgey from the Spearow, Pidgeot will still be on Ash's team.
- A.J. does not have a Sandshrew like in OTL, but he does have a Machop and he still beats Ash for his 99th victory and Team Rocket for his 100th.
- Sabrina isn't a deranged psychic who traps people in a dollhouse, she's just a very strong trainer. Ash still has to get Haunter to beat her.
- In the Pokemon Tower, a Cubone mourning over its dead mother (like in the games) joins Ash's team. It starts out like Ash's Larvitar, not trusting Ash or anyone, but eventually grows to love the gang. It later evolves while protecting multiple young Cubone.
- Ash's Charmeleon stays a Charmeleon for a few more episodes, the Aerodactyl episode appears later in the run.
- Ash's Bulbasaur evolves into an Ivysaur in the Venusaur episode, initially it still doesn't want to but in order to save the Venusaur from being captured by Team Rocket it evolves.
- Ash would one catch one Tauros in the Safari Zone instead of 30. He would also catch a Rhyhorn, an Exeggcutor, and a Dratini during this time.
- Ash would catch an Eevee with a personality similar to Red's Eevee from the Pokémon Adventures manga. (Oh! And Ash’s Eevee would evolve into an Espeon later on in the Johto seasons (which will happen later))
- The guns are edited out of "The Legend of Dratini," so that the episode isn't banned, thus removing the plot hole involving the capture of Ash's Tauros.
- The seizure-causing strobe lights in Computer Soldier Porygon are removed altogether, thus adding Porygon and its evolutionary family to the series (Porygon was wrongfully blamed.)
- An actual Team Rocket arc with the admins and Giovanni. The TRio would remain, however.
- A female character named Jodi (think of her as the early version of Leaf from FireRed and LeafGreen) should have been added to the team.
- And the rest can be shown, but I couldn’t think of any ideas, so I think I’m starting to run out of ideas. (Except I have one little idea where the TRio (Jessie, James, and Meowth) go through a redemption arc in the last few episodes.)
Also, the dubbing for the Pokemon anime will be done by Funimation. But as for 4Kids Entertainment? It’ll be the Sonic the Hedgehog anime known as Project Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic and the Stories of Mobius when outside of Japan) when it’s in its sixth season.
But wait! There’s more!

1998: The Ultra-64’s ENORMOUS Year
1998 is an ENORMOUS year for the Nintendo Ultra-64. First, the sequel to one of the console’s biggest games, Super Mario Castle World, is finally released: Super Mario Star Palace. It features 6 more worlds than the previous game, new power-ups, and new playable characters to choose from! Capcom and Konami hop on the Ultra-64 train, bringing games such as Resident Evil and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night over from the PS1, and along with the big hitter, Earthbound 64 (based off of the cancelled Earthbound 64 from OTL), Banjo-Kazooie, F-Zero X, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, KoroTimes 64, Kirby’s Star Riders (based off of the cancelled Kirby’s Air Ride on the Nintendo 64 from OTL), Pokemon Stadium, Metroid 64 (which is based off of this), and Fire Emblem Tactics (a spin-off of the Fire Emblem series where it’s like Fire Emblem meets Final Fantasy Tactics) make a splash onto the console, bringing its library to brand new heights! However, not all is well, though...Rare’s second game of the year, “Twelve Tails: Conker 64”, does not do so hot with the public. Despite its clear ambition and passion, many write it off as “another kiddy platformer from Rare” and most prefer Banjo over Conker, however, with a new game in the works that will…”remedy” the problem.
Wario and Pikachu bring the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color’s times to a close with Wario Land II and Pokemon Yellow, while the Super Game Boy continues to amaze the masses.
Now, let’s get to Super Mario Star Palace, the sequel to Super Mario Castle World. It’s got elements from OTL’s Super Mario Star Road (a Super Mario 64 ROM hack) and Super Mario 64 DS. First off, the storyline (Ideas by Andrew Boyd, BTW).:
The plot of the game is told by Yoshi, who informs Mario and the others that Ztartamorg (A mysterious Star Spirit) has found the secret to get to the Star Road, the kingdom of the Star Spirits known for the mysterious Star Palace. Using the power of the Power Stars, he is able to transport his troops all over the Mushroom Kingdom to wreak havoc. Not only that, the cheeky, but easy to get along with Prince Cream (Princess Peach’s brother, who's clearly much younger) gets sealed in a stained glass window of the Star Palace while King Toadstool (her father) ends up in a paralyzed state! In order to reach the Star Road, Mario must collect enough Power Stars to break the seal.
The playable characters to choose from are Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Wario, and Waluigi. Each one of them has their own abilities.
Also, here are the courses.
Oh! By the way, let’s do things off-topic yet again!

Oh! By the way, let’s do things off-topic yet again!
- An anime based off of the Metroid series was released to coincide with Metroid 64.
- Puyo Puyo Sun gets released outside of Japan in the year 1998, though only on certain consoles that are released outside of Japan right now. Also, the voice cast is quite varied, with a variety of voice actors such as Ali Johnston (Arle Nadja), Ian James Corlett (Schezo Wegey), and Katie Griffin (Draco Centauros)
- The Puyo Puyo DiscStation shorts get aired and dubbed outside of Japan, which serve as a pilot for a possible Puyo Puyo animated series.
- A Puyo Puyo animated series aired, and it lasted between 1999 and 2000. Here’s this for more details.
- Phil Hartman never died, but Andy Dick did, as he died from a drug overdose. Yikes!
- J Rose Productions (the production company for 'you know what') was founded in 1993.
- A show known as “The Wacky World of Taxi Celery” was aired in 1994.
- Tokyo Mew Mew was released in 1997 instead of 2000, and the anime adaptation was released in 1999 instead of 2002.
- Doctor Who got an animated adaptation on CBS in 1997.
- Ned's Newt airs on Cartoon Network.
- The Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa (or in this case, A Rapsittie Street Kids Christmas) gets released on December 21, 1996 and becomes a smash hit. (Unlike the OTL version of Rapsittie Street Kids, it is traditionally-animated, distributed by CBS Television Distribution and airs on broadcast syndication.)
- The Rapsittie Street Kids gets a TV show on Nickelodeon and MTV in the year 1998, if A Rapsittie Street Kids Christmas becomes successful.
- The Dilbert cartoon from 2000 is better treated by HBO and lasts until 2006.
- Family Guy stays cancelled so it won't suffer bad quality. What killed the show was David Zuckerman leaving. However, it was continued in specials such as the Road to Series, including "Road to the Multiverse" and "Blue Harvest" (the first Star Wars parody).
- The original Foodfight! wasn't lost and was released successfully.

Interesting, wonder who make this one? Matsuno or Quest? or Matsuno never left quest ittl?
So with Square help..not bad, nice idea too.
A Slip or subtle jab against SEGA by Nintendo?
