Who Made It?

Did you know that Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan weren’t originally related? The pre-evolution was only added later in their life. Interesting development.

Prior to the release of the first Sonic game, Sega was desperately searching for a mascot that could rival the appeal of Nintendo’s jumping plumber. Plenty of ideas were presented to Sega’s top dogs, one of them being a very early (and very different) version of Sonic. This proposed mascot was actually a rabbit that could grasp at things with his paws and fight using his own ears! How cute.

Have you ever looked up at the night-time sky, admired the stars, and wondered what space smells like? Well, according to some former astronauts, space has a lingering and distinct odour. Oddly enough, it has been described as smelling a lot like hot metal or searing steak!
