Strato-Scruffy 2009 - Development Log #24 (Still More Characters)
Strato's character roster has finally broken the 60 character count! Move over Smash Ultimate, this is the real "everyone is here" game.
1. Mayor Cheddar from the hit game Tacti-Cat and its prequel Cheddar's Cheese Mafia by @NULL3D. Mayor Cheddar is actually a pivotal character in Super Freaks lore; long before he became mayor of the floating city of New Cheeseland on Tacti-World, he and Kranion were part of the Cheese Mafia. While Cheddar's rise to power betrayed everyone he worked with, he and Kranion still keep in touch--considering Kranion is an awful person, this isn't surprising.
2. Axel and Hazel from CODE Bunny by @Lavie_Azure and @VioletaVolnutt are here now too! They're both bunnies who are part of the VY Space Program on the planet Lumna. Axel was a sk8erboi, Hazel said see you later boy (someone had to make the joke). Please buy CODE Bunny, it's a great MMZ like game and the developers are super nice and need the money!!!

3. Last but not least Manegg, arguably the weirdest character in the entire roster. Manegg was essentially a brief, goofy character in an unfortunately lost Sonic webcomic from the early 2000's (the Manegg page is circulating around, however). He made a sudden reappearance as a secret follower in Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers, and after I was directly told about the legend of Manegg, I had to add him (he's in Arcade and makes a cameo in Super Freaks 1 Ultimate Edition 3.0 as well). Manegg has a new design here; in the original webcomic and Ring Racers he's essentially a recolored Eggrobo sprite from Sonic 3 & Knuckles with insect mandibles, while this version of Manegg fits right in with Kranion and Sticky's robot minions. He still has the mandibles, they're just tucked under his body and appear during his death animation.
