Yeah, hopefully it's a makeover.
Ninja event reception is kinda mixed on Twitter poll so a new Christmas makeover event hopefully could make the game got positive receptions again.
I find the Ninja event rather average event, though I find most of the events average given it's just collecting stuff to unlock stuff. Having pink grind rails in Green Hill was kinda cool for awhile.
I understand why they would want to keep these events "minimal", they can't just make new worlds on a whim. But I still think they should put some variation on the common events.
Maybe use Blossom Haze from Sonic Mania or even better, OST from Shinobi game to flavour the Ninja event.
Still, I appreciate Green Hill isn't exclusive for events anymore. I prefer Hill Top for collecting events.
I hope when we get the Christmas Event, they'll make use of Saturns' Diamond Dust Zone theme. Seems criminal not to have a Sonic Christmas without it.
