[EVENT] The Sonic Stadium 52 Game Challenge 2024! - The Knuckles Week Special Challenge is Active! Join it now for special prizes! Weekly Check-In prize: Sonic Advance Profile Gift

[Ryannumber1gamer]

Event Introduction:

Welcome everyone to the first Sonic Stadium event of 2024, and possibly the biggest one we've ever hosted on the site! A full year-long event that's going to be filled with prizes, ring bonuses, brand new and exclusive profile gifts, leaderboards, and much, much more! So what is the aim of the game?

It's simple.

We all like playing games on this site, and that's what the challenge is all about - starting from January 1st, all the way until next January, we're challenging all of you to finish 52 games throughout the year! It can be games from your backlog, beloved games you love replaying, fan projects, so on, so forth!

Every time you finish up a game, you report it right here along with evidence of finish/completion, and we'll mark it on the leaderboard and within our records, and keep a full running tally for you!

But that's not all! For those that go the extra mile and go out of their way to 100% a game - we're offering BONUS rewards! 

When everything is all put together, between badges, rings, and profile gifts, we're giving away a grand total value of over 50,000 rings to everyone who participates and finishes the challenge to completion, as well as fulfils the bonus requirements! 

What is the 52 Game Challenge?

The 52 Game Challenge is an event that was hosted on the site quite a few years back, again encouraging participating members to play through, and complete games throughout the year, with a record being kept for all of them, and multiple prizes being offered for finishing the event's conditions.

As a completionist myself, I really enjoyed the challenge the first time around, and have mused about possibly giving it a revival. Now, I'm very happy to be able to bring it back in turbo-charged form for everyone to enjoy!

What qualifies as a 100% Completion?

100% Completion is something we're being a bit lenient on. It'll change from case to case, and be considered on a case by case basis - for a lot of modern games on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam, we're considering it under what the achievement/trophy list qualifies as full completion. Once that hits 100%, you're officially 100% done. Anything else is bragging rights.

Older games again is case by case. If there's a save file with a percentage, it'll be used as the measure unless there's a known exception (IE, Toys to Life games). Older games like NES/SNES/Genesis titles can just be getting to the 'end' of additional quests (IE - Mario/Zelda second quest), or even just finishing the game can qualify as 100% (Mega Man 1-6).

Either way, the team will be examining it on a case to case basis for older stuff, while modern stuff has the achievement lists as qualifiers. 

In the interest of being lenient however, we're also allowing you the chance to go back to games you may have only finished in 2023, and completely 100% them for full completion to count for 2024, so this is your chance to go back to some other games and get them all cleared!

Game Exceptions and Unique Cases?

There's only two exceptions we have to the games we're allowing to be added to the list. These are:

Episodic Games:

Episodic Games are not strictly banned from the event, but will instead be treated as one whole game, rather than multiple games. So games like Sam & Max, or Life is Strange will be counted only as one game, not multiple.

Shovelware/'Trophy Games'/Asset Flips:

This is specifically a subset of games that have cropped up in recent years and goes against the spirit of the event, in which their purposes is to be quick, cheap, and just there for easy completion. In order to not have the event cheated and invalidated, we're not allowing this.

Compilation Titles:

Compilation Titles are fair game, and we're judging them on a case by case basis. Some games like Mario All-Stars are just effective ports, and would require you to play through each one individually. However, in cases such as Sonic Origins, with a story mode - playing through it, and even getting all emeralds in all of them would count as four separate entries for Sonic 1, 2, CD, and 3 & Knuckles, retrospectively.

Fan Games/Fan Projects:

Fan Games are absolutely fair game! As long as you can actively finish and complete the game, and it's not a incomplete demo, it's all good. Project 06, Triple Trouble 16-Bit, Sonic and the Fallen Star, they're all valid for the challenge!

The only exceptions will be incomplete demos, and games that can't actively be completed (IE, Sonic Riders: Tourney Edition, as it unlocks everything off the bat). Games will be judged case by case, and in some instances, finishing the game is possible (You can do a full story run of Riders Tourney Edition and it'll count), but full completion can't be done (Again, due to being unlocked immediately).

Same Games?:

It depends in the game. If it's a game with the same name, but is basically different in most ways, such as Sonic Generations (console) VS Sonic Generations 3DS - that's fair game as those are two different games with just the same title. However, you can't submit double entries of the exact same game (Sonic Generations PS3 and Sonic Generations 360). 

Other than that, what games you decide to play and finish is fully up to your decision! 

Live Service Games/Battle Pass Seasons:

In spite of these games not officially having a end point, we're again going to allow it - assuming it doesn't go to extremes (IE, trying to enter a random Battle Pass season every few days/every week). Most of these games are already pretty grindy as is and require a lot of effort and dedication to complete their seasonal passes and contents, so we want to reward that! 

So, anything with a seasonal structure and a battle pass is fair game. Fortnite, Overwatch, Crash Team Rumble, Apex Legends, Diablo, Multiversus (when it comes back), so on so forth - post evidence that you fully finished up the battle pass and we'll count it as a game under your belt!

Started a Game in 2023, Finished in 2024:

Once again, in the interest of keeping things lenient, we're offering a grace period so to speak - if you started a game in 2023, but only got around to finishing it in 2024, we'll still offer you a credit for it!

That said however, as the spirit of the event is to challenge yourself and see how many you can finish by the end of the year, we still want to encourage you to try and start as many games this year as possible!

Completion Conditions for Certain Games?:

Again, we're generally trying to be as lenient as possible. While we're encouraging you to go for full completion, even we can see when something is being downright ridiculous in it's requirements, and might as well be for bragging rights. So to give examples of what might be common games to get an idea of what kind of completion we're talking about for 100%:

SONIC HEROES: 

Finishing all four stories, collecting all seven emeralds, and completing last story is 100% completion due to how often you need to repeat the campaigns and go out of your way to unlock last story. Emblems and super hard mode is considered a post game bragging rights bonus.

SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG: 

Same situation. Completing 10 endings (or 5 in the Reloaded mod), and unlocking and beating Last Story is enough for 100% completion, as absolutely no one expects anyone here to go for 302 endings.

SONIC LOST WORLD:

Gathering all red star rings, and finishing all levels + unlocking Super Sonic is enough for 100% completion due to it being a Wii U game originally, and the Steam achievements being ridiculously grindy.

SONIC FORCES:

Finishing all levels, getting all missions complete, and getting all collectibles is enough for 100% due to the abundance of grid centric trophies and achievements in the game.

What do I need to do to join?!

Joining is simple enough! All you gotta do is drop a post in this topic that confirms you want to join the event, and from there on, you just report here whenever you finish a game, giving a brief paragraph about how it went and what you thought! 

Please note however - in order to stop cheating of the system, we are going to ask for additional evidence to be posted to confirm a game completion. This will be simple enough - all you have is show something to prove you finished it. It can be a image of the game's credits, a image of a completed save file, a image of a completed trophy list. Even a link to PSNProfiles or your Steam achievements is enough to confirm it!

Once that's done, we'll update your tally on the leaderboard and on our records!

I fell behind, or I started the event late, can I still do it?

Of course you can still do it! The overall aim of the game is only just to get 52 games completed during the year, and when it's done doesn't matter! You just want to see how far you can get, and how many games you can get done! 

That's also why our soon to be discussed Check-In Rewards only require progress reports on what game you're playing as well, so you don't feel pressured to ensure you have a new game ready to submit literally every week, especially if you opt to play longer games.

So if you fall behind, or start late, you might miss out on a few weekly check-in rewards, but otherwise? You can still try your best, see how far you get, and maybe even hit the goal in the end anyways!

But with all that out of the way, we all know what everyone wants to know. What is our prizes?! 

Prizes and Milestones:

For something as huge as a year-long event, we on staff felt that a simple badge or two wasn't going to cut it. No, no, no, there had to be more. Way more. MUCH MUCH MORE! So! I'm absolutely excited to present our milestones!

Rather than having two badges given out at event completion, we're instead holding milestones - wherein once a member has completed one of their milestones, they will be awarded with their badge and their prizes at that time. This should make it exciting and engaging, as each milestone will treated as progress, rather than just needing to finish the event in all to see any reward.

So go for the gold and see how many prizes you can take home! We've got way more than badges to hand out - with have both ring rewards AND some very wonderful profile gifts available from the Member Store!

So let's stop beating around the bush and get to it!

NOTE: If you already have purchased the prizes above, you'll receive a ring equivalent to them in their place.

What are rings and profile gifts?

If you're asking that question, then you probably missed the update topic a few months ago discussing this new feature, but in short, you are given rings for a lot of activities you do on the site, including making posts, joining clubs, and more.

These rings can then be used in the member shop: 

https://www.sonicstadium.org/membersshop/

In order to buy a variety of profile gifts and even site benefits!

Profile gifts on the other hand - if you notice under any member's profile picture - are fun little collectibles that you can collect, as well as being able to check every user's full collection (including your own), by visiting their profile, and hitting the 'profile gifts' tab.

In particular, the SEGA console line are some of the more expensive ones, so to say this is a big chance to bolster your collections is a understatement!

Now, you can't say that's not generous. Surely there can't be more.

Oh, but there is.

More prizes you say!? WE HAVE MORE PRIZES!!!

Weekly Check-In Rewards!:

In order to encourage a lot of engagement with the event and in order to encourage discussion of the games and what everyone's playing, we're bringing in a brand new event feature! I'm happy to introduce...

CHECK-IN REWARDS!

Basically, we're offering a BRAND NEW profile gift reward each and every single week, from now - all the way up until the end of the year - that will be given out for free for doing the weekly check-in! 

Weekly Check-In will update every Monday, so be sure to get a progress report in once a week before you miss out your chance!

What do you have to do? Well, all you have to do is post once a week - it can either be a progress report, in which you simply discuss whatever game you're currently playing, and how it's going, or it can be a full-blown submission if you feel like it!

Either way, you'll be earning a brand new profile gift each and every week as long as you check in! 

But there's more! You won't be earning just any old profile gift...

...YOU'LL BE AMONG THE FIRST TO EARN THE EXCLUSIVE BRAND NEW LINE OF PROFILE GIFTS THAT'S APART OF THE FIRST ITEM SHOP EXPANSION! 

That's right! Not only are you getting profile gifts for contributing weekly, you're getting a brand new line that will be available first exclusively through the event, completely for free! 

You can find the full line-up of weekly check-in events in the Community Calendar right now! Check out all 50 weeks to see what the full-line up of exclusive gifts are, and set reminders so the site will notify you when a new one goes live!

https://www.sonicstadium.org/events/

SONIC COVER ART: EXCLUSIVE PROFILE GIFT COLLECTION!

So as we just said above - we're offering every participant of this event the chance to get their hands on the first major brand new profile gift collection! 

From this week, ALL the way up through to the end of the year, we're glad to offer you a BRAND NEW SONIC BOX ART every single week, from Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), all the way up until Sonic Dream Team! Priced at 750 rings a pop, if you get all of them, that's a whopping 39,000 ring value.

Even better than that - not only are you getting 52 brand spanking new profile gifts to add to your collection, but you also get first dibs! Every single profile gift will be exclusive to the 52 Game Challenge for the first month, not entering the item store until after that time!

So this is your chance to not only nab yourself a hefty collection of Sonic box arts, but also to be the very first to do so!

Can't say fairer than that, eh? 

This Week's Check-In: Monday April 15th - Monday April 22nd

This portion of the topic will also be updated weekly, as well as a reminder post, and a new site feature to remind everyone when new weekly check-in prizes will go up for grabs.

So, this week's prize is...

 

A Sonic Advance Profile Gift!

Any post that comes in during the week will earn themselves these two brand new and exclusive gifts to show off on their profiles!

April Challenge 1: Big's Big Search! - COMPLETED

In collaboration with the rest of the site's Big related makeover for April 1st, we're running a special challenge as well! 

This week, we want everyone to play any Sonic game that features Big in some way, and take a screenshot of the guy! It can be a playable debut, a cameo, it can be a console game, mobile game, or hell, even LEGO Dimensions!  

Help Big retrace his steps through his history of games in search of Froggy, and you'll earn a special prize to be announced soon!

ANNOUNCEMENT: CHALLENGE NOW COMPLETE!

April Challenge 2: The Knuckles Week Challenge!

Tying into the site's Knuckles Week festivities, our second challenge focuses in on Sonic's friendly rival - Knuckles, with a lineup of special prizes for finding him in any game and posting evidence of it! Check the announcement post for full details of the challenge!

So what's the deadline?

As mentioned, this entire event is year-long, and as we started a bit late into January (oops), we're giving some grace periods! So we're giving from January 1st 2024, all the way until January 31st 2025 to get entries in for the challenge! After that, the badges officially go into lock-up, and the event is officially over!

So if you have any games you finished up already starting from January 1st 2024, feel free to post them and we'll still honour them and add them to your tally!

The 52 Game Challenge - Your Year Review! 

Someone else we're planning to do once the event is over - we're going offer everyone a review of what they managed to achieve throughout the year, and show off your stats! Basically, if you've seen the PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox, and Steam summaries you get at the end of the year, it's essentially the same idea as that. We hope this will be a fun way to recap everyone's progress, and really show how far everyone came during the event!

Leaderboard:

We're also keeping a leaderboard here, showing how many games everyone has gotten under their belt! Two leaderboards will be kept, one for finished games, and one for completed games! Once you join the event, you'll be added in and your score updated whenever you submit a game!

What if I finish more than 52 games?

If you end up going over the 52 game threshold, that's entirely cool! While we don't have additional prizes to offer, we'll continue adding games to your overall tally and stats, and continue to update your position on the leaderboard!

In Conclusion:

So there you all have it - 52 weeks, 52 games, and a gigantic boat-load of prizes. When I said that this could possibly be the biggest event we've ever had in Sonic Stadium history, I absolutely meant it. With so many rings, profile gifts, and all the exciting stuff we have to give out, and the potential fun of keeping track of how many games you've managed to finish and complete this year, I certainly hope you all have join and have fun, as we kick 2024 off in style!

[NegaMix]

Oooh, I like the sound of this! I've been sitting on a backlog of games for far too long, so this could be just the motivation I need to actually make my way through them all over the course of the year. And hey, it may even help me find a hidden gem amongst the plethora of games I own at this point (on top of replaying some of my all-time favourites).

I'm certainly interested in joining!

[Lady Marie]

I'd love an excuse to finish all my games (and an excuse to just play more games in general). I also like the idea of going and 100% completing some of my favorites. I'm in!

[Ghelatlishol]

You just gave this grown man a legitimate reason to get back into the gaming world, and to pick up some of the old Sonic games.

I am 100% in on this! 

[Jovahexeon Jax Joranvexeon]

Consider me motivated! I'm definitely joining in on this venture.

Certainly seems like a way to help keep busy and productive!

[Failinhearts]

Time for me to take part. This is gonna be one hell of an undertaking, but let's start the party. I got a few games I managed to burn through earlier in the month, so I'll start with updating with a few already completed...

GAME 1: MEGAMAN XDIVE OFFLINE (100% Completed)

Finally, a Mega Man game for me, one that just likes to mindlessly cause complete mayhem. I enjoyed my time with the gacha, but there is nothing like having all the content in one, and finally using buttons.

All levels completed in story mode, 3-starred, as well as all events. All characters, weapons 5-starred with DNA Code analyzed, and all cards collected.

GAME 2: SKYLANDERS SUPERCHARGERS RACING (100% Base Game Completed)

"Wait, that says 93-"

Yeah, cause I don't have the Land Racing Action Pack expansion yet. That shit goes for 100 bucks, not in a rush to get it. I played this racing spinoff game on the Wii first, where I had the advantage of using Traps to increase my stats. This is a harder experience cause I am trap-less. But I still made sure to complete every track on hard mode. Surprisingly fun racing game, with jumping adding a new edge to the average kart racing formula.

GAME 3: DEVIL MAY CRY 5

Yeah, I use the Super skins, what of it? I just like going nuts on auto. This is my fourth time playing this game on another platform... never gets old, what can I say?

GAME 4: SONIC POCKET ADVENTURE

A light remix of Sonic 2 and Sonic 3, a fun little side-adventure I'm glad to have experienced without having to hound a Neo Geo Pocket Color. I'm not going for those puzzle pieces.

GAME 5: SONIC 3D BLAST DIRECTOR'S CUT (100% COMPLETED)

There's always something about how funky Sonic 3D Blast is that keeps me coming back. Now, I had some time to play this enhanced version by Jon Burton, allowing for a more comfortable and polished ride through Flicky Island. As you can see, I have completed with all 7 Chaos Emeralds on hand, earning the True Ending.

GAME 6: PAC-MAN WORLD 2

One of the first games I have ever played as a kid, now finally beaten all these years later... On the go, no less through the Steam Deck. It's absolutely magical, I love it.

IN PROGRESS: Currently playing through Persona 5 Tactica. I have just obtained every Phantom Thief and making the grand march to Marie's castle to hopefully get this game done within the month. Wish me luck...

GAMES FINISHED: 6

GAMES COMPLETED: 3

[castell-neath]

Sounds good. Just to be clear though.

If I look to complete Sonic Game Gear games via Origins Plus, that's ok? If so, how do I prove I completed it? Screenshot?

[Gavvie]

Oh go on then - it'll give me an excuse to start being more active on here as I tend to lurk fairly often without actually logging in XD

 

I've already finished two games this year in Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Goat Simulator 3, both on Xbox Series X - I can link to my TrueAchievements account here to show that, and as I start to finish games on PlayStation I'll post a relevant link for those, too!

Screenshot or image of the final screen is enough. Just make sure you're taking images of the true ending or all the Chaos Emeralds if you want full completion.

[Ghelatlishol]

Will a picture via phone camera be ok? 

I'll likely be playing quite a few of these on an actual Genesis or Dreamcast and.....they no do screenshot.

Silly me @Ryannumber1gamer...you said image, so I assume, YES.

Pictures taken by a camera are fair game. Just any kind of image that proves completion is enough.

[Fireluigi1225]

I LIVE!!!!!

...huh? An event? Aight bet.

COMPLETED: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

How is this what makes me figure out i can just upload images directly.

I know the dates are a bit messy but I swear, the game was beaten this year.

 

COMPLETED AND 100%: Super Mario Brothers Wonder

Weegee_time.mp3

 

[Maple Syrup]

This might be a reason that I am gonna even attempt finishing a game! 

[Cosmos Rogue]

Well I finished Severed Steel like a week ago.

The presence of the New Game+ option should be proof enough.

TMNT Shredders Revenge 100% Platinum.

I grew up with Hyperstone Heist so it was kind of a nostalgic experience. 6 player is easy to lose sight of your character in but good for carrying you through a few tough challenges. Spent an entire evening on the no damage Super Shredder trophy. Also made me realise I do not remember much of the cartoon and don't know who a bunch of the boss characters are.

Lake 100% Platinum.

One of those narrative focused games deliver some post have some conversations and probably forget it within a few weeks good for a recovery from too much pressing square.

Life Is Strange: True Colours 100% Platinum.

Dissapointed I didn't get to blow up a town or do some murders but still a good story.

Finished 3 Completed 3

[Winston]

Count me in. I’ve started BioShock here recently so I’ll give an update on that when I do get around to finishing it. Shouldn’t take too long to do so. Looking forward to beating some games this year!

Edited January 15 by Winston

[Ryannumber1gamer]

I want to make a quick additional announcement:

In the interest of leniency, if a game was previously only finished, but you go back, and completely 100% it in 2024, we'll allow it to be submitted.

Sign me up, I've been meaning to go through my backlog as of late, and this is a nice motivation to do this!

Ok, starting off strong with the OG.

1. Sonic the Hedgehog (16-Bit), Sega Genesis, 100% Complete

This was first introduced to me as a little boy of 3. Been hooked on Sonic ever since. Honestly wish I knew how many times I've played this game.

We did something like this before in 2015 right? That was a great time and looking forward to doing it again! I'm knee deep in a Last of Us Part 2 playthrough, this seems well timed! Will be back when its done.

Yup, the event was held quite a few years ago, but I've been wanting to do a revival for ages, so I'm really happy to have the chance to do so now!

It certainly is a nice return to form.

Shoot, all that's missing is an "SSMB Sings Sonic Frontiers" event to boot.

Hmm. Might be fun. I've not really had any motivation to play console games these days so maybe this might help. Though thinking ahead a full year does fill me with dread, but at least that isn't essential for the task.

But how can you be sure a picture was taken of a game that was completed this year? I supposed most save files do have dates these days but older ones probably wont, even older ones absolutely wont. I guess you gotta trust people.

I'd have to guess that I've never fully completed 52 games in a single year before. It doesn't feel likely. I probably would've been closer to that number back in the day when games were shorted.

Go on then, I’ll give it a go :) some games will be quick, others longer.

sounds like a fun way to clear my backlog
