was messing with some Sonic 3 AIR mods since it& #39;s been a while - at some point the Sonic 1 Sprites mod I use got a new palette option based on the & #39;SEGASonic& #39; era of Sonic stuff and just, yes
I feel like the hue here& #39;s a great middle ground between how bright Mania is and how hilarious dark most & #39;true blue& #39; Mania mods make him
I also really love the shades of red they used

smash cut to me remembering that I know how to make Mania mod
(I& #39;m gonna keep playing with the contrast and stuff)

hmmmm
Felt like the darkest shade wasn& #39;t popping enough, so I went made it darker; I think it works a bit better now
I think it& #39;s about more than the main blue here, granted; using blues for the say, the glove/eye/sock shading and reds in his muzzle shading does just as much work, I think.
since @SleepHaverJAM mentioned this Sonic palette giving them a Chaotix vibe I also went and quickly gave Mighty his Chaotix reds back
Tails does have sprites in Chaotix but his palette is absolutely terrible so I& #39;ll just, forget about that one
his orange hue is pretty much perfect in Mania anyway, so all that& #39;s different here is using blues for his white shading (and one shade of his shoes matching Sonic& #39;s)

Likewise, Knuckles is already pretty damn close to his Chaotix shades, so I don& #39;t see much point in messing with his reds; I like the pinkish hue he has in Mania anyway, and applying the Chaotix style palette would only make him *more* pink lol
ok well because I& #39;m an idiot I basically gave Knuckles his Chaotix palette anyway
I wasn& #39;t going to do anything with Ray because his SEGASonic palette uses so few colours that there was no point
and then I remembered his Gale Racer cameo
(I also edited his sprites directly here to replace the yellow pixels in his eyes with the same light blue as everyone else

alright then, so in the end this is what we& #39;re left with. Left is Before, Right is After.
Personally I wouldn& #39;t say these are necessarily improvements, just different takes on the colours. I might still tweak them a bit yet, but this is the general idea I think.

...alright one more
fwiw the changes to Sonic& #39;s shoe colour also have the knock-on effect of changing Eggman
I think he looks nice, fortunately

Regarding a release for this stuff - there& #39;s still bugs to iron out (namely the character palettes returning to normal after a super transformation), as well as some minor bugs with Mania itself (such as Mighty& #39;s Mean Bean sprite), so I& #39;d like to tackle those first.
