Question about *any* Sonic Wings that involve this.

Post by SFKhoa »

I finally got a quick fix into playing the Sonic Wing series again. I tend to use Hien [FSX] a lot, and I would noticed that when I use a bomb, there's this rare occasion the beam would be red instead of blue. Is there any explanation on how that works?

Hmm. I've never seen it happen paying SWS on my Saturn, but I probably haven't played it as much as you have. If I had to guess off the top of my head I'd say that the beam is extra powerful when it's red, or something like that, but I've got no idea when it comes to anything concrete. I will keep my eye out for this though...

Maybe you could play the game in MAME or something for awhile, and try to snap a screenshot of it if you see it?

Thread necromancy to the max.

On a serious note, I've been investing a bit of time into this game once again and I can't seem to trigger this anymore, even if I try to use a bomb on a really random basis.
It's been bothering me for quite a while now and I know I'm not imagining it, as it's happened at least twice on SW2 and SWS.
