If Infinite IS from our TRUE reality then i'd want him to break free and bring Sonic into this world let's all encourage this and see how far Infinite can really grow....
Ignited Springtrap I mean no but if they would fight it then nazos final form will beat him because hyper is powerful enough to beat infinite and Naxos final form CAN beat hyper sonic and shadow FUSED
I don't think Sonic will really care if he was fictional. In fact, such knowledge would likely result in Sonic responding "If the world isn't real, then that just means I don't have to worry about if I fail! I'll keep on going just as I always have!"
OK, Comic reference - similar colors to super scourge, and outcome with sonic lol Similar character attitude to Mephylis... as if he is missing something INFINITE HAS BEEN INTERTWINED IN SEGA HISTORY!!!! The character literally looks like an overpowered OC And not all OC's are good... I know that for a fact
Omg what if they made Infinite's theme catchy on purpose. This is part of his plan, in order to enslave Sonic's world he reached out to us and released the song so that we're here making Infinite is edgier than Shadow memes instead of preparing ourselves for what's to come.
Infinite: Hello, edge? Shadow: Edge machine br0k3. Infinite: Understandable, have a great day. Shadow: Give me edge bitch. Infinite: FUCK NO. Shadow: Unbelieaveble. Have a terrible day.
I wonder if Infinite's power is from all the hate that Sonic had over the years and beacaues of Mania and Forces, his hate/power would go down at some point, and remember that "say goodbye" part from Fistbump? that might be an indication that OC the Original Character might sacrifice himself/herself at the end to stop Infinite because he/she might have the power that Infinite has but has it hidden to look like they're normal and uses it at the final battle. Also, Shadow must be a villain because of Infinite and the villains might turn against him at some point
This is late but if infinite does have that power to bring any character to any game by control of the digital world I would love to see a All Out SEGA Spin-off game where all SEGA and third party characters they own come in one game
I don't like this idea, but it could be true... Is Sega trying to pull a MCU kind of interconnection there lol? I shall call it the SMU for "Sonic Memetic Universe". Better yet, SMU&K.
Do you think that the events of sonic generations might have something to do with this? We got a temporal disruption so great that it literally broke the timeline, add that with the already extremely unstable space of sonic's world with the fact that it's all in a game, it wouldn't be too farfetched for reality to be completely messed up to allow a game to pull a gamer, and maybe also a hacker, into the game.
To say it with the words of Roger van der Weide: "I will Beat Sonic to show him howawsome i am and then he will have buttsex with me!" ~basicly everyone; Sonic Riders in minutes, i think
Sonic already knows he's in a video game He broke the fourth wall in sonic colors Sonic: *turns to screen* ill just stick with aliens if that's ok with everybody.
The copyright thing isn't really a fourth wall break, it just happens to coyly fit with modern society. He's directly responding to Eggman's PA system talking about some copyright BS.
There is a lot of 4th wall breaks, there's bound to be a few tht aren't jokes. Even if they're all jokes, maybe that's just part of Boost Sonic's personality, best way to put up with reality itself being fake is to crack the odd joke at it's expense. 'S how I deal with the fact that statistical odds suggest OUR world is fake too, the world's a joke, you just have to laugh with it.
My theory (SPOILERS) is that when eggman lost to sonic in the good ending he teleports sonic to forces knowing there is now nothing standing in his ay of world domination which then infinite was angry with the abuse and personified from the phantom ruby and when Infinite met modern eggman he convinced infinite sonic was the one who abused his power so now he's on eggman's side
Maybe Sonic already knows...he has broken the fourth wall before. Maybe he hides it from the other characters. He probably also knows if he shows he knows Sega could take him out of the game.
Idk,Infinite as a Sonic Fan is pretty weird as a theory. If we use Infinite is resisting the code,we can say that Infinite is representing the Glitches in Sonic franchise
The Gaming Mushroom A manga, famous for being great, old, for the poses (Mettaton Ex is a reference to jojo, for example) and all the mangas of today have some inspiration to it. Sorry if my english is bad.
Infinite is the Phantom Ruby come to life. It's suffered abuse from Robotnik who tormented Sonic by distorting realities and opening wormholes through spacetime multiple times. By the 2nd last boss, Robotnik used the Phantom Ruby to momentarily send Sonic to face the heavies individually, and in the final boss it's overused state created a timeless void which the final boss fought. After the fight, it reacts to the chaos emerald and leave the dimension and took Sonic with it. Personified in a new reality, it takes the name of infinite, and sets out to defeat the one who was the reason for being overused (without Sonic, Robotnik wouldn't have overused it) and then presumably, it would turn on Eggman and go overboard to destroy all realities. Credit me if anyone wants to use this theory :)
That's quite the same theory i have, not sure about the part of infinite coming from our world literally, maybe he knows about our world and tried to get out to it, but definitely he has control over the game codes so he can glitch and messing with everything around, that possibly would make him the most powerful character in all sonic history.
Actually, that could explain the custom character thing. Infinite comes from our world, in the forces of evil, and WE create the custom character which is OUR incarnation of ourselves in a Sonic Character form in the forces of the resistance, and we fight with sonic and friends to beat Infinite. I would love this entire theory to be true. That would make a solid story.
Personally, I think Infinite is a Glitch that became self-aware. He started writing his own code, which enables him to warp reality to his liking. The simplest way to put this is that he could be a parody of Sonic.exe to kill 2 birds with one stone, as that Creepypasta is a Sonic OC thing all on its own already. The alternative is that he is Sonic (or an ally) from a _third_ unseen time-line that lowkey fought villains off-screen that we do not know about. They could even imply that they're not even from the Sonic franchise at all, and that it had to have been really tough enemies unlike anything that Sonic has ever faced.
Imagine if Infinite starts reffering to everyone as their "real life" counter parts. Like, he would call Eggman "Mike" (Mike Pollock), Sonic as "Roger" (Roger Craig Smith) and such. Also I'd like to mention two things about Mania's ending: First off, notice that the only time the Phantom Ruby teleports you into another dimension (If it's the reason why Classic is back on Forces) is due to the Chaos Emeralds acting up with it, as when you beat Egg Reverie, you launch yourself at him and the Phantom Ruby steals the emeralds and creates the portal. I'm guessing the Chaos Emeralds also help Infinite become what he is. Secondly, at the last shot of the True Ending, you can see Classic Sonic pose in the exact same way he poses on the Sonic Forces reveal trailer, this definitely must be intentional.
So does this mean that we're gonna be playing Mad Matrix and Digital Circuit in Sonic Forces? Well at least this explains where Infinite picked up the 'Evil Shadow' from given that he picked him up out of the Dark side pathway in Shadow The Hedgehog.
Well after Forces came out and we learned that Infinite is just a mercenary infused with the Phantom Ruby I decided to rewatch this video and maybe its the Phantom Ruby that comes from our world. What do you think?
Ok this all makes sense apart from ons thing classic sonic brought the phantom ruby into Sonic Forces NOT the real world so now I've just made it all confusing judging by my evidence and your evidence so my theory is that Infinite captured Classic Sonic and he stole the phantom ruby off him but then you could argue then why dose he have all these glitches around him he must be from our world WRONG how could he get into Sonics world without the phantom ruby when Classic Sonic went into Sonic Forces not the real world the only reason he has all these glitches is because he wants to have all these glitches but anyway that's just my theory.
I guess infinite being a custom character from our world is kind of plausible. And the original character you make, that could be you. Jumping into the game universe to fight back.
The fact that the series already breaks the fourth wall since Colors will completely undermine the impact of this story if the theory actually becomes true.
I like the idea of this theory but I think I might have come up with similar theories/story predictions that contains alot of 4th wall breaking: 1. Infinite or the Phantom Ruby is basically a glitch in the game. Somewhere after S3&K, a new timeline/dimension was created where the Phantom Ruby appeared and so Sonic Mania happens. OC represents you, the player, presumably the guy who could fix the glitch disguised as a soldier. Eggman learns about glitches and summons the Phantom Ruby (as well as accidentally bringing Sonic from Sonic Mania) to his dimension. Infinite sides with Eggman, and soon conquers the world with him. This can explain the conversation between Tails & Eggman in the Green Hill Boss with Classic Sonic. Now this theory is actually funny if it was real because Infinite represents the quality of some games that SEGA have released for the Sonic franchise such as 06, Boom, Sonic 4 etc and what made those games bad apart from shitty storylines? Glitches, the overall theme of Infinite (and the game if you see the loading screen and such). And it kinda fits Infinite's appearance. He looks rotten, broken etc which is exactly what 06, Boom, Sonic 4, every "bad" sonic game you name it etc is. 2. Infinite is a 4th dimensional being/god similar to Dark Gaia, except well, omnipotent. OC again, represents you. And you are also a god with unlimited power because you can modify and create your own character in the game. It probably comes down to a disagreement with you and Infinite. Both make their own armies in which they conveniently use Sonic (& co.) and Eggman (as well as capturing the 4 other villains) as their pawns. OC disguises themselves as a normal soldier in the resistance (since they can create their own representative being) and sides with Sonic to recover the world. 3. This theory is similar to the first one but goes under the assumption that Lost World takes place BEFORE Generations. Both Eggmans are stuck in the white world and lost each other. Modern Eggman however, learns about the glitches and somehow gets a hold of the Phantom Ruby/Infinite. With the Phantom Ruby/Infinite's help, Eggman gets out and together they take over the world. 4. Retarded theory, but I thought of Infinite and OC being normal people. Both were great friends, but Infinite was abused or had a dark past, but then he found the Phantom Ruby, and is now using it to destroy the world that he hates. Kinda explains his "pain" and what he think the world truly is. This theory is also interesting because Infinite could also represent the edgy OCs that people create like fucking Coldsteel with dark pasts and all that shit. I mean, Infinite DOES look like an OC filled with edge and had a dark past, his theme says so.
I think Infinite will only tell the OC that their in a video game and maybe he will something like ''Do not give me that confused look, you know what I am talking about''
That would explain why Shadow and Chaos are evil. He changed their code. Everything about this theory makes so much sense. Also, Shadow and Chaos evil again and Sonic being transported into the real world... what if this was a prequel to SA3!?
This video made me realize. I don't want to know what Infinite is all about anymore. He seems cool now but I feel like when the game comes out his story will...just not make him as interesting. I don't know what I want him to be though so I can't just write him off yet.
ArmaanAli Lakhani Infinite is trying to hard to be an edgelord to be just a compilation of glitches _waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay_ too hard Go watch the Enter Infinite trailer again and notice how it starts
I like this theory a lot, but I'm not sure if Sega would run with it. Then again, they might not run with mine, either. My theory is that Infinite is Sonic. Specifically, the Sonic from Sonic Mania's true ending. The Phantom Ruby and Sonic were sucked into a kind of time portal, and suddenly Infinite appears in Modern Sonic's world, with what looks like a red gem lodged in his chest. Obviously there's the argument that Mania Sonic also appeared in Modern Sonic's world, but is Mania Sonic from the same time as Infinite? Also, I know Infinite doesn't look like Sonic, however, in the beginning of Mania, 5 EggRobos are excavating the Phantom Ruby, and then the game proceeds to head to a rebooted Green Hill Zone. After beating said zone, you see Eggman/Robotnik (whichever you prefer) seemingly arguing with the Hard Boiled Heavies, who have appeared out of nowhere. The Phantom Ruby seems to change or corrupt things. Eggman used the Phantom Ruby, but I'd argue that he's already evil, and corrupted. Imagine if a "little blue saviour" became corrupted and destructive because of something changing his appearance and giving him more power, including increasing the power he already has, which is speed. Sorry for my rambling. I just wanted to talk about this theory. If you want to point out any flaws (I bet there's plenty) or give your opinions, I'd like to hear!
Ok it says an illusion in the lyrics but that is just the phantom rubys power he can create a illusion so realistic that like metal sonic battle screen shots it has pixels cause is an illusion
Instead of Infinite saying real world and digital world, I think he'll just use the word dimension or realm or parallel universe to avoid problems with Sonic knowing he's a video game character and how it will affect future sonic games. A reboot would feel like a cop out. I hated how everyone forgot Mephilis and all of Sonic 06 due to timey-wimey stuff.
TheCrookedKing But that would mean that our world is just as real as sonics world? What if all fictional characters and worlds really exist but they are just in parallel universes?
Infinite being a hacker sounds all kind of awesome. And it would make sense with the whole OC concept... Man, if SEGA is actually able to pull a game idea that ties with the story itself... Kudos to them, for real. ...I can't help it but FEEL there will be disappointment from overhyping this possibility...
I don't think glitches break the 4th wall. They are just a way to signify power without ripping off Dragon Ball with auras and lightning. My theory is Infinite doesn't exist. He is just a hologram made with Phantom Ruby, who has AI attached to him to fake personality. The screenshot in digital world shows AI Infinite, not Phantom Ruby Infinite. If the resistance will think that Eggman conquered the world with Infinite, they are going to chase an illusion instead of Phantom Ruby.
Here's my theory: Infinite could potentially be a digital virus that Eggman created which by using the Phantom Ruby morphed itself into Sonic's world, hence the reason why he/she takes orders from him instead of following his own. And the only way Sonic can defeat Infinite is by fighting him/her in a digital world as shown in the concept art. If you ever read the Archie Sonic comics, Eggman creates a digital virus named Phage, who had the ability to infiltrate and attack various computer networks and used them to gain power and control, but was eventually defeated by Sally Acorn. I wouldn't be to surprised to hear that the developers took inspiration from Phage when creating Infinite.
You can be right but, we all now the true ending of mania, and infinite has got the phantom ruby is on his chest, so he can't be from our world cause the phantom ruby is in mania
And then at the end of the game, Infinite takes Sonic to the real world... Leading to... Sonic the Hedgehog Odysse-*shot*
Lol
If Infinite IS from our TRUE reality then i'd want him to break free and bring Sonic into this world let's all encourage this and see how far Infinite can really grow....
if that is true the sonic movie would be next
RoamingRobert16 Sonic the Hedgehog cinematic universe?
Ultra Gaming HQ *oh fuck*
This is some wreck-it-Ralph main plot shit.
well lets take a look at............
you know what fuck it i'm not saying
Wreck it Ralph is getting a sequel... SONIC MANIA 2: WRECK IT RALPH!
Lwin Lwin Oo Shit is right
Lwin Lwin Oo So Infinite went "Turbo"? Sonic did warn us what happens when you die outside your own game.
Is Infinite just a joke that he was the one causing all the glitches in Boom, 06, etc.
HEROE GAME! Mind blown...
HEROE GAME! Boom wasnt made by sega and 06 is rushed in defence of 06 it looks good in defence of boom the company just messed up
Plot twist infinite is actually nazo
Ignited Springtrap true
If only Nazo were an official villain.
Infinite may have more edge than anyone can handle but,
Nazo's power goes beyond...perfect~.
NOT BAD NOT BAD AT ALL
Ignited Springtrap omg that would be epic
Ignited Springtrap I mean no but if they would fight it then nazos final form will beat him because hyper is powerful enough to beat infinite and Naxos final form CAN beat hyper sonic and shadow FUSED
I don't think Sonic will really care if he was fictional. In fact, such knowledge would likely result in Sonic responding "If the world isn't real, then that just means I don't have to worry about if I fail! I'll keep on going just as I always have!"
Gaming Gallinule 👏bravo, sounds just like Sonic.
So Infinite is a Self-insert OC?
EDIT: I would love it if Infinite is revealed to be Aaron Webber, lol. I mean it would be stupid but hey.
josiah0328 *infinite takes off mask*
Aaron Webber:hi....
Lol definitely
Custom Character = Aaron Webber
Infinite = Arin Hanson
^ This. The ultimate Cringe.
"IT'S NO USE! IT'S NO FUCKING USE!" - Arin Hansen/Egoraptor
Woo!
As ridiculous as this sounds it makes so much sense it's painful
+TheTrueBlueSonicFan not bad
And can you resist?
INFINITE PAIN = *INFINITE SUFFERING*
XdeaSniperHD ii
XdeaSniperHD Mania sonic is INFINITE cuz hes the lqst one that touched the fantom ruby fantom ruby is inside infinite
Infinite is the concentration of the fanbase's craziness.
It makes sense (really, it makes; in the las years Sonic received far more hatred than love)
Cynda Stuff true
OK,
Comic reference - similar colors to super scourge, and outcome with sonic lol
Similar character attitude to Mephylis... as if he is missing something
INFINITE HAS BEEN INTERTWINED IN SEGA HISTORY!!!!
The character literally looks like an overpowered OC
And not all OC's are good... I know that for a fact
Omg what if they made Infinite's theme catchy on purpose.
This is part of his plan, in order to enslave Sonic's world he reached out to us and released the song so that we're here making Infinite is edgier than Shadow memes instead of preparing ourselves for what's to come.
+segafan13 It was a joke but yes I did.
It was really late at night when I wrote this comment.
Infinite: Hello, edge?
Shadow: Edge machine br0k3.
Infinite: Understandable, have a great day.
Shadow: Give me edge bitch.
Infinite: FUCK NO.
Shadow: Unbelieaveble. Have a terrible day.
I wonder if Infinite's power is from all the hate that Sonic had over the years and beacaues of Mania and Forces, his hate/power would go down at some point, and remember that "say goodbye" part from Fistbump? that might be an indication that OC the Original Character might sacrifice himself/herself at the end to stop Infinite because he/she might have the power that Infinite has but has it hidden to look like they're normal and uses it at the final battle. Also, Shadow must be a villain because of Infinite and the villains might turn against him at some point
Pac-Man 357 & Knuckles feat. Wartortle I say infinite is dragging shadow from adventures 2 when he was a bad guy like he did with sonic from mania
Same goes for chaos (who became good at the end of adventures 1) and zavok and metal sonic
Pac-Man 357 & Knuckles feat. Wartortle No one will die.
TheExtremeGamer That was just my theory
But hey, that's just a theory....
*A **_GAME_** THEORY!*
Thanks for reading!
If this is correct, SEGA will perform the greatest 4th wall break ever
This is late but if infinite does have that power to bring any character to any game by control of the digital world I would love to see a All Out SEGA Spin-off game where all SEGA and third party characters they own come in one game
What if the ending of forces leads up to the sonic the hedgehog movie they're planning to make xD
Demigod Quagsire I
TheTrueBlueSonicFan so you think that infinite create the game itself?
TheTrueBlueSonicFan Mania sonic is INFINITE cuz hes the lqst one that touched the fantom ruby fantom ruby is inside infinite
I don't like this idea, but it could be true... Is Sega trying to pull a MCU kind of interconnection there lol? I shall call it the SMU for "Sonic Memetic Universe". Better yet, SMU&K.
But how would classic sonic in Forces know the drop dash?
Fun is infinite man.....Fun is infinite
3 years later and the entirety of this theory connects to Sonic FORCES.
At the end of the game infinite will show sonic...
THE SONIC FANBASE
and then sonic dies
dun dun
Do you think that the events of sonic generations might have something to do with this? We got a temporal disruption so great that it literally broke the timeline, add that with the already extremely unstable space of sonic's world with the fact that it's all in a game, it wouldn't be too farfetched for reality to be completely messed up to allow a game to pull a gamer, and maybe also a hacker, into the game.
So Infinite is like MISSINGNO!
yeah, except he's actually meant to be in the game
>Infinite is the force that has been making bugs in Sonic games.
The absolute monster.
>sonic 06 and boom give infinite power to infinite
Absolute madman
Expectation: *Shows this video*
Reality: I'M NOT WEAK!
As much as I want to say this is a crack theory... It actually sounds plausible. I really do hope that this is what the case is in the game.
Really I love it I want to hack myself in
So, you're saying he's gonna be erased from existence like Mephiles?
We don’t know if mephiles was completely wiped from existence.
Infinite is sonic's cringy number 1 fan who cosplays as his own cringy oc and wants sonic to notice him
That's my theory
Arceus The God of Pokémon Notice me, Senpai!
Was that Sonic boom episode foreshadowing!?
Arceus The God of Pokémon Maybe Infinite is the evil side of sammyclassicsonic.
People say that the red wolf resembles as sammy but good
To say it with the words of Roger van der Weide:
"I will Beat Sonic to show him howawsome i am and then he will have buttsex with me!" ~basicly everyone; Sonic Riders in minutes, i think
Wait can infinite gamejump
No
You know you are talking about a video game character that is programmed to know he's in a game
COULD THIS LEAD TO SONIC THE HEDGEHOG THE MOVIE?;BECAUSE IN THE MOVIE THEY HAVE REAL PEOPLE AND IT'S LIVE ACTION WITH 3D ANIMATION......MIND BLOWN
And maybe in Sonic Forces after he finds out his in a game , he tries to escape!!!!!! :0!
Silent ĒMPÊRØR E3 theres also something else that's better this can lead to.... SA3!
He could be the embodiment of every glitch, every bug, and every blemish on any sonic game ever.
Sonic already knows he's in a video game
He broke the fourth wall in sonic colors
Sonic: *turns to screen* ill just stick with aliens if that's ok with everybody.
RayTheEpic Just a joke. Not to be taken seriously.
Does nobody remember the part where he says no copyright law in the world is gonna stop me?
The copyright thing isn't really a fourth wall break, it just happens to coyly fit with modern society. He's directly responding to Eggman's PA system talking about some copyright BS.
There is a lot of 4th wall breaks, there's bound to be a few tht aren't jokes. Even if they're all jokes, maybe that's just part of Boost Sonic's personality, best way to put up with reality itself being fake is to crack the odd joke at it's expense. 'S how I deal with the fact that statistical odds suggest OUR world is fake too, the world's a joke, you just have to laugh with it.
yeah...same with the sonic boom TV show if that counts. actually sonic boom did it a lot and I mean A LOT
Guys open your FREAKING MIND. Sega is not that DUMB to have that kind of story in a SONIC game (no offense creator of the video)
segafan13 tru m8 but these guys don't make the story ;)
If only this was true instead of what we actually got.
so why does this video make sense? well, perhaps it's because infinite has power over the digital world
I always thought infinite was a personified version of the phantom ruby who was angered and transformed due to abuse of it
My theory (SPOILERS) is that when eggman lost to sonic in the good ending he teleports sonic to forces knowing there is now nothing standing in his ay of world domination which then infinite was angry with the abuse and personified from the phantom ruby and when Infinite met modern eggman he convinced infinite sonic was the one who abused his power so now he's on eggman's side
Wonder what infinite will look like in real life
Maybe Sonic already knows...he has broken the fourth wall before. Maybe he hides it from the other characters. He probably also knows if he shows he knows Sega could take him out of the game.
....This just makes so much sense... So Infinite is like Sonic.exe almost and forces did break the forth wall and it all just makes sense!
It doesn't make sense at all. Forces didn't break the fourth wall either.
Idk,Infinite as a Sonic Fan is pretty weird as a theory. If we use Infinite is resisting the code,we can say that Infinite is representing the Glitches in Sonic franchise
Maybe Mephiles from 06 broke out of that game because of the game's glitches, and he became Infinite?
I don't know, we'll have to see.
Weird Guy then how Silver
Fast Blaze
Because offer 06, only Sonic, Shadow, and Silver remembered it.
because silver was rewritten
and then his backstory turned out to be super lame
You forgot to say:The Phantom Ruby IS Infinite himself
Infinite is from somewhere. I'd say he's from The Phantom Ruby, trapped inside it.
I think that infinite is secretly Feel the Rabbit.
Look it up if you don't know who he is.
*hears reboot and reset*
-Totally not undertale- *_Definitely Undertale_*
Reset time was in Jojo before Undertale...
tf is jojo
The Gaming Mushroom A manga, famous for being great, old, for the poses (Mettaton Ex is a reference to jojo, for example) and all the mangas of today have some inspiration to it. Sorry if my english is bad.
This
Changes
EVERYTHING
No it doesn't because the game has been out for nearly 6 years and it's very obvious that this is an outdated theory.
Infinite: you're in a .classic Sonic:yes we know already.knew sense the first time I got a free life.
Infinite is the Phantom Ruby come to life. It's suffered abuse from Robotnik who tormented Sonic by distorting realities and opening wormholes through spacetime multiple times. By the 2nd last boss, Robotnik used the Phantom Ruby to momentarily send Sonic to face the heavies individually, and in the final boss it's overused state created a timeless void which the final boss fought. After the fight, it reacts to the chaos emerald and leave the dimension and took Sonic with it.
Personified in a new reality, it takes the name of infinite, and sets out to defeat the one who was the reason for being overused (without Sonic, Robotnik wouldn't have overused it) and then presumably, it would turn on Eggman and go overboard to destroy all realities.
Credit me if anyone wants to use this theory :)
This isn't really related, but the iconic pose from the Forces trailer was also used in the Metal Sonic boss fight of Sonic Generations
I Got A Sonic Mania Ad Before This.
this is obviously outdated
3D pixels are called VOXELS
That's quite the same theory i have, not sure about the part of infinite coming from our world literally, maybe he knows about our world and tried to get out to it, but definitely he has control over the game codes so he can glitch and messing with everything around, that possibly would make him the most powerful character in all sonic history.
it looks like the phantom ruby cracked, so the ruby is corrupted, and the ruby is infinite/ a part of infinite
The infinite uses the Debug mode
sonic knew he was in a video game for his entire life too -_-. think sonic colors.
'No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!'
Actually, that could explain the custom character thing. Infinite comes from our world, in the forces of evil, and WE create the custom character which is OUR incarnation of ourselves in a Sonic Character form in the forces of the resistance, and we fight with sonic and friends to beat Infinite.
I would love this entire theory to be true. That would make a solid story.
I'M NOT MY ORIGINAL CHARACTER BLUCKLES
I'M THE ACTUAL KNUCKLES
_TRAPPED IN THE REAL WORLD_
This theory was 10 times better than the actual story of Infinite
Personally, I think Infinite is a Glitch that became self-aware. He started writing his own code, which enables him to warp reality to his liking. The simplest way to put this is that he could be a parody of Sonic.exe to kill 2 birds with one stone, as that Creepypasta is a Sonic OC thing all on its own already. The alternative is that he is Sonic (or an ally) from a _third_ unseen time-line that lowkey fought villains off-screen that we do not know about. They could even imply that they're not even from the Sonic franchise at all, and that it had to have been really tough enemies unlike anything that Sonic has ever faced.
Maybe infinite when putting himself in the game he became a jackal and when shadow attacked him he grew angry
This is actually a pretty plausible theory. Well done.
Imagine if Infinite starts reffering to everyone as their "real life" counter parts.
Like, he would call Eggman "Mike" (Mike Pollock), Sonic as "Roger" (Roger Craig Smith) and such.
Also I'd like to mention two things about Mania's ending: First off, notice that the only time the Phantom Ruby teleports you into another dimension (If it's the reason why Classic is back on Forces) is due to the Chaos Emeralds acting up with it, as when you beat Egg Reverie, you launch yourself at him and the Phantom Ruby steals the emeralds and creates the portal. I'm guessing the Chaos Emeralds also help Infinite become what he is. Secondly, at the last shot of the True Ending, you can see Classic Sonic pose in the exact same way he poses on the Sonic Forces reveal trailer, this definitely must be intentional.
So does this mean that we're gonna be playing Mad Matrix and Digital Circuit in Sonic Forces?
Well at least this explains where Infinite picked up the 'Evil Shadow' from given that he picked him up out of the Dark side pathway in Shadow The Hedgehog.
Well after Forces came out and we learned that Infinite is just a mercenary infused with the Phantom Ruby I decided to rewatch this video and maybe its the Phantom Ruby that comes from our world. What do you think?
Honestly, I believe that Infinite is a living, breathing, manifestation of the Sonic Cycle, plain and simple.
nah, Infinite is Tails, they both have two of those
Or he can use chaos control so well he can teleport into the game code
Ok this all makes sense apart from ons thing classic sonic brought the phantom ruby into Sonic Forces NOT the real world so now I've just made it all confusing judging by my evidence and your evidence so my theory is that Infinite captured Classic Sonic and he stole the phantom ruby off him but then you could argue then why dose he have all these glitches around him he must be from our world WRONG how could he get into Sonics world without the phantom ruby when Classic Sonic went into Sonic Forces not the real world the only reason he has all these glitches is because he wants to have all these glitches but anyway that's just my theory.
Jameson Guthrie AND KNUCKLES
This is the best theory on Infinite yet, good job
I guess infinite being a custom character from our world is kind of plausible. And the original character you make, that could be you. Jumping into the game universe to fight back.
Plot twist: Infinite is Chris Chan.
The fact that the series already breaks the fourth wall since Colors will completely undermine the impact of this story if the theory actually becomes true.
Background music?
I like the idea of this theory but I think I might have come up with similar theories/story predictions that contains alot of 4th wall breaking:
1. Infinite or the Phantom Ruby is basically a glitch in the game. Somewhere after S3&K, a new timeline/dimension was created where the Phantom Ruby appeared and so Sonic Mania happens. OC represents you, the player, presumably the guy who could fix the glitch disguised as a soldier. Eggman learns about glitches and summons the Phantom Ruby (as well as accidentally bringing Sonic from Sonic Mania) to his dimension. Infinite sides with Eggman, and soon conquers the world with him. This can explain the conversation between Tails & Eggman in the Green Hill Boss with Classic Sonic.
Now this theory is actually funny if it was real because Infinite represents the quality of some games that SEGA have released for the Sonic franchise such as 06, Boom, Sonic 4 etc and what made those games bad apart from shitty storylines? Glitches, the overall theme of Infinite (and the game if you see the loading screen and such). And it kinda fits Infinite's appearance. He looks rotten, broken etc which is exactly what 06, Boom, Sonic 4, every "bad" sonic game you name it etc is.
2. Infinite is a 4th dimensional being/god similar to Dark Gaia, except well, omnipotent. OC again, represents you. And you are also a god with unlimited power because you can modify and create your own character in the game. It probably comes down to a disagreement with you and Infinite. Both make their own armies in which they conveniently use Sonic (& co.) and Eggman (as well as capturing the 4 other villains) as their pawns. OC disguises themselves as a normal soldier in the resistance (since they can create their own representative being) and sides with Sonic to recover the world.
3. This theory is similar to the first one but goes under the assumption that Lost World takes place BEFORE Generations. Both Eggmans are stuck in the white world and lost each other. Modern Eggman however, learns about the glitches and somehow gets a hold of the Phantom Ruby/Infinite. With the Phantom Ruby/Infinite's help, Eggman gets out and together they take over the world.
4. Retarded theory, but I thought of Infinite and OC being normal people. Both were great friends, but Infinite was abused or had a dark past, but then he found the Phantom Ruby, and is now using it to destroy the world that he hates. Kinda explains his "pain" and what he think the world truly is.
This theory is also interesting because Infinite could also represent the edgy OCs that people create like fucking Coldsteel with dark pasts and all that shit. I mean, Infinite DOES look like an OC filled with edge and had a dark past, his theme says so.
"The little blue savior, but whats that i smell"
"LITTLE BLUE SAVIOR"
Even more proof that mania connects to forces.
My gosh, this actually makes so much sense. Lets all hope Sega is smart enough for this to be true...
I think Infinite will only tell the OC that their in a video game and maybe he will something like ''Do not give me that confused look, you know what I am talking about''
I think that is absolutely the players OC's friend that was corrupted
That would explain why Shadow and Chaos are evil. He changed their code. Everything about this theory makes so much sense. Also, Shadow and Chaos evil again and Sonic being transported into the real world... what if this was a prequel to SA3!?
he also uses the phantom ruby
you also forgot; HOW AND WHY IS HE SO DAMN EDGY
This video made me realize. I don't want to know what Infinite is all about anymore. He seems cool now but I feel like when the game comes out his story will...just not make him as interesting. I don't know what I want him to be though so I can't just write him off yet.
Look at pictures of infinite on google to find his face, or just find the comic
Does anyone else think that the only reason that Infinite glitches because he IS the glitches from all the sonic games
No, just me, okay
ArmaanAli Lakhani Infinite is trying to hard to be an edgelord to be just a compilation of glitches
_waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay_ too hard
Go watch the Enter Infinite trailer again and notice how it starts

Thanks for commenting
Glitches ARE infinite
Fast Blaze no Mephilis is a hedgehog. Infinite is a Jackel
Infinite is tails from the game gear version of sonic 2.What we'l find in the ashes you'll lose in the fire, only stars remain of who I was.
Infinite is the phantom ruby
I like this theory a lot, but I'm not sure if Sega would run with it. Then again, they might not run with mine, either. My theory is that Infinite is Sonic. Specifically, the Sonic from Sonic Mania's true ending. The Phantom Ruby and Sonic were sucked into a kind of time portal, and suddenly Infinite appears in Modern Sonic's world, with what looks like a red gem lodged in his chest. Obviously there's the argument that Mania Sonic also appeared in Modern Sonic's world, but is Mania Sonic from the same time as Infinite? Also, I know Infinite doesn't look like Sonic, however, in the beginning of Mania, 5 EggRobos are excavating the Phantom Ruby, and then the game proceeds to head to a rebooted Green Hill Zone. After beating said zone, you see Eggman/Robotnik (whichever you prefer) seemingly arguing with the Hard Boiled Heavies, who have appeared out of nowhere. The Phantom Ruby seems to change or corrupt things. Eggman used the Phantom Ruby, but I'd argue that he's already evil, and corrupted. Imagine if a "little blue saviour" became corrupted and destructive because of something changing his appearance and giving him more power, including increasing the power he already has, which is speed. Sorry for my rambling. I just wanted to talk about this theory. If you want to point out any flaws (I bet there's plenty) or give your opinions, I'd like to hear!
Ok it says an illusion in the lyrics but that is just the phantom rubys power he can create a illusion so realistic that like metal sonic battle screen shots it has pixels cause is an illusion
Instead of Infinite saying real world and digital world, I think he'll just use the word dimension or realm or parallel universe to avoid problems with Sonic knowing he's a video game character and how it will affect future sonic games.
A reboot would feel like a cop out. I hated how everyone forgot Mephilis and all of Sonic 06 due to timey-wimey stuff.
TheCrookedKing
But that would mean that our world is just as real as sonics world? What if all fictional characters and worlds really exist but they are just in parallel universes?
I think infinite contros the 11D matrix so that he could op and more
not the first time I've heard this.
A lot of people including myself have done plots like this and I'm in progress of doing this time of thing twice.
Infinite being a hacker sounds all kind of awesome. And it would make sense with the whole OC concept... Man, if SEGA is actually able to pull a game idea that ties with the story itself... Kudos to them, for real.
...I can't help it but FEEL there will be disappointment from overhyping this possibility...
HitsujiMamoru Look at skylanders imaginators. Great concept, terrible levels.
I don't think glitches break the 4th wall. They are just a way to signify power without ripping off Dragon Ball with auras and lightning.
My theory is Infinite doesn't exist. He is just a hologram made with Phantom Ruby, who has AI attached to him to fake personality. The screenshot in digital world shows AI Infinite, not Phantom Ruby Infinite. If the resistance will think that Eggman conquered the world with Infinite, they are going to chase an illusion instead of Phantom Ruby.
Gnidel Your missing one point, how could eggman ever take over the world with a "hologram"?
That's like a kid buying a candy store with fake money.
Gnidel Yes, because we all know auras and lightning are unique to Dragon Ball.
I think Infinite was sealed in that ruby,like chaos
did sega and the sonic team actually say mania is connected to forces?
Oh, and when Infinite first put that awesome mask on, he swore his mind, life, and body to the Ruby
I think maybe he's not "from this world" but possibly someone in this world's character that they play as, and they're a hacker or something
infinite is a culmination of all the sonic OC's put together
Here's my theory: Infinite could potentially be a digital virus that Eggman created which by using the Phantom Ruby morphed itself into Sonic's world, hence the reason why he/she takes orders from him instead of following his own. And the only way Sonic can defeat Infinite is by fighting him/her in a digital world as shown in the concept art. If you ever read the Archie Sonic comics, Eggman creates a digital virus named Phage, who had the ability to infiltrate and attack various computer networks and used them to gain power and control, but was eventually defeated by Sally Acorn. I wouldn't be to surprised to hear that the developers took inspiration from Phage when creating Infinite.
Infinite is a jackel his eyes are blue and yellow
You can be right but, we all now the true ending of mania, and infinite has got the phantom ruby is on his chest, so he can't be from our world cause the phantom ruby is in mania
Actually he's not manipulating sonic universe is that infinite with the phantom ruby creates virtual reality that comes to life
