Masher Returns and more Information Inside
Minutes ago (and after some more broken countdown clocks,) Sega uploaded new concept art to the Sonic 4 website.
This time, we get a taste of Masher. For those who don’t recall, Masher’s first official appearance was in the Emerald Hill Zone os Sonic 2.
So far, three badniks have been released in concept art form. As far as we know, only one’s made the official cut for an in-game presence, and that’s Motobug. That we’re seeing Masher art now may indicate the enemy will also be on the roster, but officially that’s to be determined.
Also today there was some chatter about Sega replacing what was a placeholder for the 4th Platform–believed to be iPhone–with type indicating “N2,” which had a few wondering whether we’ll see a PC release of Sonic 4. Though such a release would make good business sense, the chatter remains speculation for the moment. We’ll keep you up to speed if we hear anything concrete.
In the meantime, enjoy the new artwork of Masher, below.














A PC release, huh? Both Aliens vs. Predator and Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing are getting PC releases, so I can deem this rather likely.
Badass, simply badass

As long as its more Hydrocity Zone and less Labyrinth Zone!
I’m really looking forward to Sonic 4. I hope it’s a worthy sucessor to S3&K.
Oh hey, it’s Jaws.

Really? wow. . . You’re one of the few people who I’ve heard (or read, in this context) who want a water level.
But if they do include a water zone (which they will) I second Graxer’s motion
It’s confirmed.
This game is a rehash.
That’s… That’s lovely SEGA. Just what Sonic 4 should’ve been. A rehash moreso than a sequel.
Greg: Remember this is episode 1. Who is to say there wont be any new ones later down the road? Heck there are 7 badnik slots left.
