    I feel like Sonic just stayed with Donutlord because at heart, he’s a kid. He doesn’t want to be alone. And really, he doesn’t want to leave Earth. So he’s purposefully dragging his feet on leaving and spending as much time as possible trying to stay here. And he stays in the car with him because this is person he feels closest with, even at the beginning of the movie, this is his dad in his mind.

    When running as fast as he does, how much calories is he burning?
    How often would he need to stop and eat running every street in the US?
    Maybe riding in the car is faster over all because he doesn't have to stop every hour and nap for three hours after eating 10k calories of food.

ALSO, the prison is super cool and not used anymore, it's just there as a tourist attraction, and right next door is a cool car museum that is honestly fun to visit even if cars aren't your thing. ALSO, ALSO there used the be the most amazing diner there that had the BEST tomatoe soup but they closed sadly a couple years ago.

    Sonic 'could' have found his rings on his own but:
    1. Everyone tends to think and do irrational things when they are scared. This is probably magnified because Sonic has no one.
    2. He wanted to make a friend and took this chance to road trip with Donut Lord to do just that.
    3. He wasn't in full control of all of his powers. In fact, he just learned to Time Stop and Spin Attack from the film.
    4. This Sonic isn't the seasoned hero from the games, and this is his origin story.

      @Mechan1calMag1c1an 4 роки тому +115

      This is what I believe to be true, though Matpat's theory isn't incorrect in my opinion. I think it comes down to the fact that in this movie, Sonic is much more of a kid and as such might have simply not been confident enough to explore such a distant place on his own.
      Montana is his home, and he hasn't really left it from what we're shown. So going to some unknown place far away would not only be scary, but he would also have to find a way back home (if we're assuming he's using his rings only in emergencies and doesn't use the rings to get back to Montana).
      While he probably knows that he's faster than Tom's truck, he sees this as an opportunity to fill the empty place in his heart. He's basically getting the father he never had AND that father is making sure that he gets to San Fran and back safely.
      Thank you for listening to my insane ramblings.

    You aren’t considering sonic getting tired out, we know sonic has a need for sleep and food. Running like that nonstop would take an enormous amount of energy so he would have to take excessive brakes. Plus sonic is a curious person there is no chance he wouldn’t get distracted by something. You also aren’t considering robotnik and the government. Staying in the car is much less conspicuous than a blue blur running around the entire USA. He would definitely run into trouble and Probably more trouble. Plus he might get reckless without supervision. All in all the way sonic did was just much safer and better if you look at the logistics. Maybe I’m wrong IDK.

    My guess is that Sonic knows he could *maybe* get to San Francisco on his own in a much quicker way, but if he did he could be taking the risk of Eggman or someone else finding him much faster if they read his speed level or something like that
    So he sticks by Tom’s side with the fake excuse that he doesn’t know where SF is because traveling by car wouldn’t raise awareness
    With the added bonus that he gets to spend time with his father figure

    How MatPat went about finding this answer got me thinking. He calculated it using roads, and assuming that sonic would never use the same road twice. I think this logic skews the answer by quite a bit so i wrote a program to run a simulation of sonic traveling from Deer Lodge, to a random point, then to another random point, et c. until he found himself in or immediately around San Francisco.
    My program gave me an average of 8282 hours (~345 days) for sonic to randomly find himself in San Francisco over 1000 trials.

      @@piguyalamode164 idk, Sonic seems like a pretty care free kinda guy that always wants to jump right in. That's why I decided to just pick random points. Just pick a direction and go for a bit before going somewhere else. And I chose for him to have no memory of where he was before cause there's no way someone could remember exactly what heading they were going and for how long to figure out where they were and where they weren't. There are plenty of ways to optimize Sonic's travel, like covering one degree longitude then moving over but this is just a 'lets go somewhere where we don't know where it is with no reason' estimation. At the end of the day Sonic could just ask where San Francisco is

      Why would he just go in random directions? If he has somewhere important to be wouldn’t he be more systematic? Wouldn’t he realize how often he had visited a spot? This is assuming he just goes places regardless of where he’s already been. You seem really dedicated to this but no matter how “care free” he is this still seems like a very very very worst case scenario.
      Besides didn’t whats-his-face give him a general direction to start in? Just saying that doesn’t seem to be the most accurate.

    Good theory, haven't seen the movie yet. I do want to say however, that Sonic getting lost is a reoccurring theme from what I've seen. In a episode of Sonic X, if I remember correctly, he runs around the globe in order to find a specific place. And it appears, again if I remember correctly, Sonic's attention span is shorter than he is fast, as he runs in circles and zig-zags, it takes him an entire day. This idea has also appeared in other episodes of Sonic X, but it's been forever since I've watched that. Just saying that no matter how unbelievable it's predictable.

    There is one major factor you didn't include: Sonic has a serious case of ADHD. Without Tom to keep reminding him what he was supposed to be doing, he would have gotten distracted by absolutely everything and likely forgotten there was something important he was supposed to be doing. He could easily spend a whole day in every city he found.
    And as for the building climbing thing, most of what he did in the climax he was figuring out on the spot.

    Gonna guess his electro-discharge comes from an emotional reaction not just "if he goes fast enough" we see this in the movie. He goes as fast as possible sometimes but doesn't discharge but then when he's emotional enough he does discharge. Perhaps the discharge and speed come from a similar place in his metabolism.
