Sounds like a good idea to me. May need to be executed well in the visual department, but sounds legit.

Not sure if this has been thought up, and not sure if this was funny enough, but here's something I was considering for Golden Axe.

(first stage)
Ax Battler (after killing a henchman): Yes! READYETH THYSELF, DEATH-ADDER! I COMETH FOR THOU!
(Thief theme starts playing as thieves show up and run around Ax Battler, funny looks on their faces (possibilty trollfaces? i dunno, i don't want to resort to meme humor)
Ax Battler: What the f**keth? (not sure if I want to substitute that or not. Need you guyses input)
(Ax starts going around attempting to kick the thieves): Standeth still!
(A thief looks at him with a goofy look on his face before Ax kicks him in it)
(Ax starts kicking him multiple times until he's on the ground, bleeding)
(The thief's bag falls to the ground as a can of Red Bull, a bag of Cheetos, and other various objects come out <- This would be a subtle sight gag, as in it wouldn't be what the camera is focused on)
END

Not sure how much merit this is worth, but I'd imagine it would take some good execution in order to get it done. If this IS worth an idea, I'd definitely appreciate it if no one took it for the time being, as I plan on doing this one for the shorts (it'll be my first animation, yay!), but if something comes up, I'll give the idea away. And that's IF it's even enjoyable enough to be worth an animation.

. vectorman is made of balls green and blue. I am gussing they are held by magnets or electric energy field of some sort.So i had the idea of have a short of him just falling of a cliff and when he hit's the ground have him crumble into a pile of blue and green balls.Or the other idea since the main enemy is a nuke head why not make him blow up and since nukes give off a emp wave make him crumble like that.

Last night, I decided to play Sonic Adventure for the first time in years, and I was so dumbfounded by all of the strange writing and video game logic in it that I got out my sketchbook and started writing down all of the strange stuff I found.

I don't really have any specific ideas for shorts in these notes themselves, but I'm sure these will help jog memories and think of ideas for shorts. Keep in mind though that some of these notes might have already been done in previous Sonic Shorts. I'm just copying everything I noticed and putting it here, lol:

Sonic's Story (so far):

-Carrying a rare artifact (Ice Key) you found in an alleyway onto a train.
-Burger Shop Statue that shares the same model as one of the townspeople in Station Square.
-Swapping out the Gold Chao Egg with a rock. (coughcoughIndianaJonescough)
-The Antique Store has a rather elaborate security system when the Gold Chao Egg is removed from stand, causing bars to fall over the windows and front door of the store. The shopkeeper seems to be unfazed by the system going off
-...And yet, when you come through the back door of the store when you come out of the sewer, the shopkeeper will yell at you to not use the back door.
-There's a lady who's constantly creeping on a worker at the Burger Shop.
-The worker at the Burger Shop who constantly talks about getting a strange feeling of someone staring at him, yet the girl in question is standing mere inches away from him.
-The girl will stand in one spot in the Burger Shop for an entire day, order only one burger, then leave at night to stand off to the side of the store. LOGIC.
-A kid walking around the downtown area of Station Square will act scared of the Burger Shop Statue, saying it moves around on it's own sometimes. She also tells the player to "not think of throwing him in the river!" but there's no river to throw it into. :(
-Trying to run in a corkscrew around the dirt tunnel that leads to Angel Island/Ice Cap, sometimes getting stuck on the ceiling and running in place upside down.
-Knuckles' very unenthusiastic "OH NO"
-Stopping the story at the strangest and worst of times to go take care of Chao.
-Everything in the cutscene showing Sonic falling onto Emerald Beach. The underwhelming crash sound, Sonic running in place for a little bit before moving, "You're not who I'm looking for."
-Sonic failing to run on the side of a wall. Happens many times in Speed Highway, at least for the glitchier Sonic Adventure DX version.
-I think this one was mentioned already as a short idea, but I can't remember if it was ever made: Sonic crashing into a shopping plaza after running down the skyscraper, sending glass and robot cops crashing down into the area where he lands.
-Tikal seemed to have a very unenthusiastic tone when she tells the player to "Watch out for the cars", like she's bored out of her mind watching Sonic or Knuckles dodge cars. I might have just heard the line wrong though.
-There's a little side story showing a guy cheating on two girls early on in the game. You see the guy standing next to one of two girls next to the hotel elevators. Later on however, the hotel manager will complain about the guy and two girls arguing by the pool. What's even more hilarious is the girls acting flabbergasted, while the guy thinks he did nothing wrong.
-Finding a ? ring capsule behind a really good hiding spot in a level, only to get one ring from it.
-Failing to type "EGGMAN" correctly in the Egg Carrier results in a variety of pans being dropped on your head, one of them being much more gigantic in size then most. The character is completely unfazed by any of the pans.

As for Big's story, here's what little notes I have on it...

-Big and Froggy are "Polywog Pals 4 Life"
-Sonic and Tails are standing in Station Square at the very beginning of Big's story. Talking to Tails has him say something along the lines of Eggman being up to no good and having to get the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic however merely says "EGGMAN!" when you talk to him.
-Amy is standing by the wall of the Train Station as well. She talks about thinking of going shopping and being bored, pre-dating the start of her storyline in the game.
-Big is almost unable to move around the Burger Shop without getting stuck between the chairs and counter.
-Tikal seems to love telling people to go into sewers in this game.
-Big lifts a freaking CAR to get into the sewer hole, then just drops the car when he falls in.
-Big will sometimes make elevator doors freak out, opening and closing really fast. Big's tail will also stick out of the door when it closes.
-And of course, there's always the classic gag of buying a Sonic game for the reason of wanting to play a fishing game.

That's all I got for now, but I'll keep digging through and see what else I can find.

Eggman and Amy are seen atop the Egg Carrier.

Amy: Not the birdie!

Eggman deploys the claw and steals the bird effortlessly.

Amy: Oh, where could Sonic be?!

Cut to the interior, at the EGGMAN keypad. Sonic has been crushed to death beneath a giant pan, blood streaming out as Tails sobs and screams in horror.

WHY, SONIC?!
EGGMAN'S NAME DOESN'T START WITH THE LETTER "G"
WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE G

This is the greatest Idea I've seen here.

Open on Sonic and Tails approaching the giant keypad. Close up of Tails.

Tails: Hmmm...these letters all go together to spell "Eggman". Hey, Sonic, I think we--

Pull back to reveal Sonic crushed to death, blood pooling around him, against the G under a giant pot.

Tails (annoyed): Oh, god dammit. Not again.

My idea (if it hasn't already been thought up yet), or even if it's any good:

Super Monkey Ball: Monkey Target Party Game:

Aiai: *rolls down the ramp and off it, can't get his capsule ball to open after launching*

Aiai: *finally opens it, but the ball dumps him out rather than staying on his back, splatting on the target*

As I said, I don't think it's any good, and it may have already been dreamed up already.

But there it is :Tails:

Video of the actual target game for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62-O9H6MAG4

I have a rough idea for a Skies of Arcadia short:

The Little Jack has to make an emergency landing after a battle. Once everyone has left the ship, Vyse notices his compass is spinning, and in a few seconds a Discovery pops out of the ground underneath where the Little Jack was landed, smashing the ship to pieces. Way to go Vyse...

Any thoughts?

I really like this, although it would probably work best to forgo the "emergency landing" setup and just have them in the midst of flying only to stop directly above the spot the discovery pops out of. Partially to simplify the setup, and also because you only find discoveries while sailing.

That would definitely work better, now that I think about it.

So I was recently playing though the game Ecco: The Tides of Time. When I got to Level 7 Tube of Medusa, I pretty much rage quit the game. However, it helped from an idea for Sega Shorts. I also wanted to make this idea because of the lack of Ecco the Dolphin ideas in the thread. This is also meant to be a three parter.

{PART 1}

[The short starts out with Ecco swimming up the water in the Tube of Medusa. Behind him is a background of an island way below him with palm trees, sand, and mountains.]

Ecco: (quietly doing a little scat to himself; improvised)

[Suddenly, the camera immediately pans to an above shot of a mysterious floating figure. The camera then pans back to Ecco, in shock as the humongous beast comes down and grabs Ecco.]

Ecco: (fast and terrified) Please let go! I'm just a plain old dolphin trying to save my sea friends!

[It is revealed to be the dreaded Medusa Jellyfish. The Jellyfish decides to drop Ecco back to the beginning to the Tube.]

Ecco: Uh... Thanks?

[Ecco continues on his adventure to get to the top.]

Ecco: Jeez, what a freak! Let's just hope that never happens again!

[All of a sudden, the Jellyfish grabs Ecco off screen, and puts him near the beginning again.]

Ecco: [To Jellyfish] You know, I think I could've gone better without that!

[Ecco gets grabbed a third time, but the short cuts off]

{PART 2}

This can be placed after any other short except right after previous parts of this short.

[The camera shows a mini view of the Jellyfish grabbing Ecco, throwing him down, Ecco swimming up again, and getting grabbed again. This process goes super fast and should loop for only a few seconds so the audience is reminded that Ecco is still in a predicament.]

{PART 3}

Same rule for Part 2 applies here.

[Ecco is now trying to charge against the Jellyfish. After a few seconds however, he finally snaps.]

Ecco: (Infuriated) CAN YOU PLEASE STOP!?

[Jellyfish and Ecco stop charging.]

Ecco: (Still infuriated) Okay, I don't know what your freaking deal is with me, but can I please just progress for the love of Atlantis!?

[The Jellyfish then leaves, and the exit is revealed. Triumphant music plays.]

Ecco: Finally! The moment of truth!

[Ecco starts swimming towards the end with great happiness, but just right before he crosses the finish, the Jellyfish grabs him tight and angrily. He then powerfully throws him downwards. The camera then zooms in below at some sharp rocks. The camera then comes back at Ecco in despair holding of a sign saying. "Whoops!". He then completely falls off camera. We hear an SFX something tearing apart. The short cuts off after that.]
END OF SHORT.

Tell me how you guys think about it, and what I can improve.
Oh, and here's the level it's based on.
