That's because sega HATES Sonic with a passion. They assembled the perfect team to make GOOD Sonic games, and what did they do with it? NOTHING. I'm convinced they're actually pissed off at how good Mania turned out to be. Good Sonic games aren't allowed to exist.

When did THIS happen???
You sir have now created a desire from me for the games to have an art style that will probably never happen :((

Weirdly enough, I get mild SRB2 vibes from some of these sprites. Wonder if the artists for the new 2.2 sprites were inspired?

Sonic 2's Judy Totoya worked on these animations as a freelance job. He also did the Screen Saver box art.
