    In reply to Sonic's Shoes Inspired by Michael Jackson
    The other MJ and Sonic similarity - they both went off the boil in their latter years. A sad, sad truth indeed.

    @Jnas: Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny wore white gloves LONG before Sonic.

    Even Mario wore gloves!

    @Killer Toilet: To be fair Mario's use of white gloves were far more practical than Mickey's or Bug's.

    All those shit-stains from repairing people's toilets and plumbing leave a long lasting smell that's hard to wash off.

    I wish I could claim this as my own; I saw the links on Reddit.

    Janet Jackson's "Together Again"

    Sonic the Hedgehog's "Bridge Zone" (Game Gear) and "Bridge Zone" (Genesis).

    @spiderweb1986: yeah theres totally something fishy going on, but i dont think mj had anything to do with that.

    simple fact is that jimmy jam and terry lewis produced janets track and mj and janet very rarely crossed over into one anothers work.

    Now the question is, will they add some proper credit or special thanks to the credits in the DS ports? It would be nice if they did, but they may also stick to following MJ's initial request not to be associated with it.

    Hearing this makes me sad that the Moonwalker game on Genesis doesn't have a full recognizable part of "Thriller." I know some versions of the game does play it, but it's hardly recognizable.

    - Assisted space policewoman and space news anchors in battling space evil

    - Transformed into giant robot to assist Alex Kidd in defending Earth against Zangief & Princess Toadstool

    - Become a little girl
