Also. The Sonic Speed Simulator Christmas event is up.
Sonic Speed Simulator - Gotta Snow Fasthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ftdu8yrKOw
To my disappointment, it's nothing more than a mid-event. It's not as elaborate as October's Halloween event, there's no new winter wonderland world for a "limited time only" like what October had with
Pumpkin Hill, it didn't even bother making Green Hill into "White Hill".
The distribution of the gingerbread cookies are actually less than past events meaning it would be more of a slog to collect them, unless you have the right chao for higher collection-count which did make it more easier for me. Not only that but the gingerbread cookies are small and have a green aura which makes them difficult to see amongst the green grass.
The only additional effort they put into this event is they recycled Halloween candy and Amy's BOOtique into Candy Canes and Tails' Winter Workshop.
It works pretty much the same as before. Doing objectives, winning races and candy canes every hour or so will allow you to save up to buy these treats.
I still find this whole thing disappointing though. I mean, I get it. Sonic Prime was released early this December so Sonic Team perhaps told Gamefam to promote it.
Then we had RB Battle which I found somewhat a waste of Christmastime. Yet despite my detest for this event I can't disregard the effort put into Synth City Tower. It's a well designed obby and I like it a lot, just I don't get why bother with RB Battle at all.
But you know what disappointed me the most of this Christmas event?
It's not the fact Gamefam waited until the day before Christmas Eve to do it.
It's not that they didn't make a temporary new world or obby for Christmas.
It's not that they didn't bother to decorate Green Hill like they did for Halloween during the Boo Bash event.
What pisses me off the most is that they have a winter-themed world called Snow Valley but they decided to make this event Green Hill exclusive. They didn't touch Snow Valley at all. They have a literal winter wonderland area where these events will be ideal... and they just don't do anything with it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilcRS5eUpwkThey could of had the Sonic Prime and RB Battle Events happen in Green Hill world and just have Gotta Snow Fast and Tails Winter Workshop happen at the same time in Snow Valley, that way they could of fitted in both if they wanted. But NOOOO! Gamefam just wasted all of Christmas up until a day before Christmas Eve for just another shitty event.
I dunno why I am mad about this. Heck at one point I figured you were right, they were going to skip Christmas and just have a New Years event. And I would of preferred that over this half-arsed event.
