I just recently discovered these too, after installing Sonic & Knuckles Collection for the first time in years.

They're so terribly ridiculous, I love it. :D

I'm saving some of these to my computer. Love to see some new Sonic artwork, be it official or fan-made.

All of that artwork is included on the Sonic compilation "Sonic Gems Collection", which was released in 2005. Am I the only person here who bought a copy? :|

I miss 90's airbrush art. Everything was cooler with a gradient.

Sonic 3 UK cover art. 'Nuff said.

Can't believe some of you defend THAT.

I have Sonic Gems Collection, but had absolutely no idea that artwork was on the disc. *boots up Sonic Gems Collection*

I saw it years earlier on Sonic Jam. Actually sort of surprised it's now only known for being on Sonic Gems? :?

I never thought of them as ridiculous really, but that's probably because I first saw them years ago when I was younger, so it doesn't have the same image to me that it does to others now. If that makes sense :D

Those aren't too bad. Nowhere near as nasty as some of the fan-made Cream slash pr0n pics floating around the web.

Even Sonic partakes in the Hollywood cliche of french bread in the grocery bag.

Every single TV show/movie I've ever seen that includes someone coming home from buying groceries, the person will have friggin' french bread sticking out the top of the bag.

*EVERY TIME*

Personally, I really like those pictures. But I have great memories of exploring Sonic Jam and discovering them in the 3D Sonic World, so perhaps I'm biased. Sonic Jam rules btw.

i must admit sonic jams ending was abit of a let down

Guys pay attention to the Sonic 3 UK Box art, it clearly says "Sonic 3: part 1".

I'm surprised too, that most people know all this art for Sonic Gems Collection instead of Sonic Jam (which I love).

Well, it was a EUR release, not only UK, you know ;)

All of those "lost" Artworks are from Sonic the Screensaver wich was bundled with the Sonic & Knuckles Collection on the PC and sold seperately in Japan.

I like the full Artwork of the EU Sonic 3 cover with the "hidden message". I discovered this when the Gems Collection was new and this just shows what Sonic 3 really is. Kinda like Sonic 4 Episode I. :D

Nothing trumps the commercial of clay-doh Sonic breakdancing and moonwalking on the hood of a car.

Yeah, that was pretty jawusum.....

....for a break dancing clay Sonic.

Yeah I was wondering about that too... Part 2 was probably gonna be S&K, but they didn't go with it that way, for some reason.

I find that to be insulting. Not many of us had Saturns from back in the day you know. Most of my Sega gaming was on Windows. I had Sonic & Knuckles Collection, Garfield PC, Sonic R, Sonic CD, Sega Smash Pack Vol. 2 and probably one or two others.

That would explain why I don't remember these pieces of artwork from Sonic & Knuckles Collection. I never had Sonic the Screensaver.

That's because french bread is delicious

Not good PR I guess. If they advertised it as half a game I'd expect a lot of people to want it for half price too (even if it was longer than Sonic 2).

They're not strange or mysterious; they're just promotional material rendered in that cute, slightly surreal, early-90s Japanese mascot style. These are some of my favourites:

'Merry Xmas, here's Sonic & crew rocking out Saturday morning cartoon-style!' :]

Nobody produces promo material like this any more - the kind of material that you'd see on corporate postcards, stamped on keyrings, or in horrible horrible nightmarish dimly-lit themed restaurants that'd do nothing but play the SONIC IS DROWNING theme over and over and over and over-

I love that style, just felt so much more fun then the forced cool Sonic that came with the Dreamcast.

Loved this promotional art stuff from Sonic Jam on Saturn, I think it was on Sonic Screensaver for Windows too. It's pretty cheesy, but there's something about it I like, haha.

Ditto, couldn't have said it better myself. The Genesis era stuff just seemed more fun, it had humour and personality to it. The DC and then the GBA stuff just seems like they're trying too hard to make Sonic over the top.

This one is definitely my favourite.

Reminds me when I was a kid and I'd go to the mall to play Sonic 2 at the Genesis play booth in Compucenter... good times :)

Negative. I could not resist buying the first Sonic compilation with Sonic CD on it. I was a little disappointed that the Sonic R version was from the PC version, not the Saturn original. All the same, it was a good excuse to play through both games that year.

As someone who first owned the PC version before the Saturn version, I will say the PC version of Sonic R is a LOT better. It controls better, it looks better, and there are weather effects. The Saturn version is still great, but the PC version is the one to go for, and a heck of a lot cheaper and easier to find too.

Uh... well, I love both.
Both the Sonic 3 EUR (not just UK, you know) cover and the SoR3 ending.

Did you guys know even the art for Blaze in that ending was censored in the West? The japanese version for that pic where she's wearing a swimsuit is slightly different in the (superior) japanese version ;)
