Mips are creatures that were set to appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are the replacement of the Animals and populate the worlds in the game.
Description[]
In concept artwork for Sonic X-treme, Mips look like little marshmallows or triangles. However, in the actual levels of the game, they are just colored balls with black eyes. It was planned that each zone will have different colors and movement for the Mips, for example, the Mips in Jade Gully Zone are colored blue, purple and magenta and are bouncing as seen in the promotional video.
Trivia[]
- The name "Mip" was dubbed by Michael Kosaka and is an abbreviation for a computer term "Million Instructions Per Second".
- At first, the Mips were mistaken for beardy creatures that appeared in a Christmas test level that was found in PackageX.
