December 11th, 2023 Question Timestamps: ------------------------------------------ *Note: If you want to leave a comment about Sonic Dream Team, please put a spoiler warning at the top of it to ensure nobody has the game spoiled for them.* ------------------------------------------ 1:17 - Ian, are you familiar with potoo birds? They look strange but I’m basically the "I just think they’re neat" meme about them. 2:16 - It's that special and warm time of year! It's that time of the year where you both go on your yearly holiday adventure to kick Santa's butt.. he KNOWS what he did.. Anyways! If you could assemble a team to help you defeat Santa, who would they be? 4:19 - Sega asks you to re-introduce Terios as a brand new character. You don't have to relate him to Shadow or anything from SA2 at all, you just have to keep the design, and make it into an all-new addition to Sonic's world that plays a big role in a new game.. How do you do it? 6:10 - Does Sage turning from red to blue have any connection to Super Sonic's eyes turning from red to blue when he becomes Starfall Super Sonic or whatever that form is officially called? What is the meaning of her turning blue anyway? Eggman seemed annoyed when he saw it happen. 7:16 - What if tails followed Rouge the bat instead of Sonic? 8:56 - TailsTube #2 once again states that Robotnik adopted the insult "Eggman" as his nickname. This originally happened in SA1. In Sonic Superstars, Classic Eggman is still naming his creations after eggs, such as the Egg Fortress. Is there a lore reason for this? 9:42 - To those that are just new to the running gag, what exactly are Nermies and how did it come to be? 11:10 - Rough and Tumble accidentally use a Multiverse Maguffin and are sent to the world of Pokémon! There, they see the Team Rocket Trio trying to, as usual, capture Pikachu. They decide they want a piece of the pie... Er... Mouse! Why? Because someone else wants it! To make it an even 3 on 3, they catch a Stunky, the butt-faced Poison/Dark skunk Pokémon. They name him Gruff! No, Grumble! Whatever! How does it go? How well do they battle? Does Gruffumble the Stunky end up liking his new weirdly Skunk-like trainers? Who gets Ash's Pikachu? 13:21 - I remember you saying a good thing the sonic movies did was make the master emerald transportable, how would you feel if Sega made this canon going forward? 14:38 - When was the last time that you wrote something purely for your own amusement, not intending for it to be published or otherwise publicly read? 16:51 - Now it’s Charmy’s turn to be "Home Alone" dealing with the Wet Bandits but this time you get to decide where. What wacky hijinks occur and how guilty does Vector feel about forgetting him? 18:46 - Boom Time Shadow and Sonic fight and cause Santa to crash and be out of commission for Christmas. What insanity ensues and Why does Ivo... I mean Eggman have a Sled and Reindeer badnik ready for such a specific situation? 20:46 - In the Sonic Cookbook, there's a recipe called the Post-Adventure Surprise which is a black sesame ice cream shake that resembles Tangle's tail. Has she ever confused the two? Does she have a scar when she chomped on her tail, mistaking it for the treat? 21:33 - You mentioned before how the Ifrit is technically allowed to come back for IDW but is so irrelevant to the canon that it might as well not exist but to humor the concept for a few minutes, my question is this: If given the chance to bring back the Ifrit, how would you write such a story? Just to recap, the Ifrit is an extradimensional, and presumably immortal, flying fire-monster that feeds on Chaos Energy to destroy dimensions and is powerful enough to mind-control Sonic or Tails, Knuckles or Rouge, Shadow or Metal Sonic, and Espio or Silver depending on who you play as. 23:29 - Lets hit you fellas in the nostalgia, catch is? It's the bad kind! Surge, Kit and Starline have to star in one of those /really/ cringey and out of touch anti drug PSA commercials. Aaaaaand Action! 26:32 - Hey there! This isn't so much of a question...but more of a friendly suggestion: GO SEE GODZILLA MINUS ONE if its playing in theatres near you. If you haven't seen it already! 27:01 - Which of the Sonic cast would join team blue (Sonic) and team red (Knuckles)? 28:31 - In "The Continuing Isekai Adventures of Starline", Starline ends up in Punxsutawney Pennsylvania, 1993, on the morning of Groundhog Day as a certain weather caster pulls into town. How well does Starline handle being stuck in the time loop with Phil as his only companion or is each loop an entirely different Starline? 30:13 - An animal character wins the election for President of the United Federation for the first time ever: Tangle. This is especially surprising to Tangle herself since she didn't even know there was an election going on, much less that she was on the ballot. How does her presidency go with Vice President Whisper and Secretary of State Jewel, and will she win a second term? 33:03 - Due to a clerical error, Shadow the Hedgehog has become the Secret Santa to everyone on Amy's Secret Santa list. Knowing only cowards back down from a challenge, he never corrects the error, and sets out to find the Ultimate Presents. How does this go for him? 34:42 - With the DCEU now in a "Post-Flashpoint" Continuity (now just being called the DCU; lazy name), I’m honestly hoping that there is a "Music Meister" film made one day. Who do you think would play the titular character: Neil Patrick Harris, "Weird Al" Yankovic or some other person? If not either of them, who do you think would be the other run up actor to play the criminal mastermind of music? 36:18 - In Looming Shadow, we see pics of Sally & Bunnie in their Archie designs. One is Post, the other is Pre. So are they like Sticks in terms of canon? 36:36 - If you were to make a tournament arc with the current cast of canon characters, which fights would you like to see? 38:24 - Tangle gets turned into a reindeer and is discovered by Santa to be a part of his flight team, can she be the best flier while also being the most hyper reindeer of all? -------------------------------------- 40:32 - The single outtake of legend
39:18 Ian calls Sally and Bunnie's inclusion in the Canon (confirmed by Him and Sega) Forces prequel comic "a mistake that has since been corrected", yet this actually isn't the case at all as every versions of the comic online through official channels still feature their cameo making them canon according to Ian and Sega. This statement is actually similar to the Knothole cameo on the cover of IDW #31 which also wasn't removed despite a previous statement just like this one saying it was a "going too far"... and yet Sega did not have it removed in any reprint or trade. I have no idea what he means by "has since been corrected", my best guess is that ABT got reprimanded hard for it.
Just as a quick random fact: in his last fight agains Rouge on SA2 it's reveald that knuckles can change the size of the master emerald on command, which makes me wonder why doesn't he use that skill more often.
13:34 to be fair, we see in games like Sonic Adventure 2 that the master emerald can seemingly change size. It goes from being about the size you would expect the master emerald to be, to being about the size of an average chaos, emerald and fitting in Knuckles’ hand. I don’t know if size changing is a canonical ability of the master emerald or if that is just a weird animation choice, but since it happens in a canon game, you could totally implement that.
After getting TK'd relentlessly by Silver during the infamous Sonic 06 boss fight, I'm sure Sonic would definitely participate in Throw Silver Thursday. -- Steamed Hams references this episode: 0 Total since count began: 10 Total references to counter: 1
I would should point out that the Sally and Bunnie cameos in the “Forces” prequel comic haven’t been corrected as Ian has asserted. They’re still present as far as I’m aware, the only stipulation was that the artist was told by SEGA not to do it again.
The Master Emerald being transportable is canon and isn't a movie thing? In SA2 Knuckles was shown to have the ability to shrink it and store it away, the reason he doesn't do this all the time is he thinks Angel Island needs to stay afloat for some reason.
Neil Patrick Harris IS the music meister, if I'm remembering right. He debuted in brave and the bold, and Neil was the one who voiced him then. That wasn't brought up, so just thought I'd mention it.
A note about the "Eggman" name adoption thing, considering how every single Classic game still refers to him solely as "Eggman" and any mention of "Robotnik" is absent from the Japanese version of Sonic Adventure, I figure SEGA's current position is something like "he's just always gone by Eggman since Sonic 1", no?
On the topic of Terios, let's say he gets a new design that takes bits and pieces of the other four. My idea for him would be to make Terios the almost, no, definitely evil asshole Shadow was in Boom, war against the multiverse and all. As for backstory? Uh... You know what, let's just bring back Boom Shadow's whole ordeal and reincarnate it as Terios; he's just some prick who lives in a cave, and somehow powerful enough to be more memorable than Infinite pre-phantom ruby. And let's make it so that Shadow recognizes and cannot stand Terios.

40:32 - The single outtake of legend
OH MY GOD Throwing Him Thursday is the thumbnail?! because of ME?! i'm so happy this is my legacy
best legacy ever, you can just check out now you've already won
9:20 OK, so there is a split timeline caused by Sonic Generations. Good to know that common theory has been validated.
36:39 Amy Vs. Metal Sonic! And while it starts in Metal's favor, it takes a 180 when Amy takes off her inhibitor rings!
39:18 Ian calls Sally and Bunnie's inclusion in the Canon (confirmed by Him and Sega) Forces prequel comic "a mistake that has since been corrected", yet this actually isn't the case at all as every versions of the comic online through official channels still feature their cameo making them canon according to Ian and Sega.

OH GOD THEY KNOW ABOUT THROWING HIM THURSDAY
YOUR IMPACT
Most people celebrate Throwing Him Thursday with Metal throwing Silver. I celebrate with Knuckles throwing Shadow!
For Starline dramatically overdosing, we ride on the Algorithm Queesssssst maaaaaaan!
Blaze it
Just as a quick random fact: in his last fight agains Rouge on SA2 it's reveald that knuckles can change the size of the master emerald on command, which makes me wonder why doesn't he use that skill more often.

Thanks for the answer! I’ve seen photos of them head-on and some were goofy and some were slightly scary.
34:17 Shadow knows that Walmart won’t stop you went you just walk straight through the self checkout without checking out lol 😂
After getting TK'd relentlessly by Silver during the infamous Sonic 06 boss fight, I'm sure Sonic would definitely participate in Throw Silver Thursday.

Tangle is a shoe-in for a second term as president. She gets 98% of the votes with the campaign slogan: "Four more beers!"
I can't help but wonder if Ian is thinking about Sumo Santa from Clayfighter 63 1/3? "Santa's going to sit on YOUR lap!"
I would should point out that the Sally and Bunnie cameos in the “Forces” prequel comic haven’t been corrected as Ian has asserted. They’re still present as far as I’m aware, the only stipulation was that the artist was told by SEGA not to do it again.
Clearly Sage turns blue after hanging around Sonic because she's a Chao
The Master Emerald being transportable is canon and isn't a movie thing? In SA2 Knuckles was shown to have the ability to shrink it and store it away, the reason he doesn't do this all the time is he thinks Angel Island needs to stay afloat for some reason.
Neil Patrick Harris IS the music meister, if I'm remembering right. He debuted in brave and the bold, and Neil was the one who voiced him then. That wasn't brought up, so just thought I'd mention it.
Stuff your stalking??? I’m terrified and I don’t even know what that means!
I am BEYOND happy with the answer to my drug question on GOD
I choked so hard
Classic Eggman decided to go back on the name after the arguement with his future self, but still has an affinity for eggs
A note about the "Eggman" name adoption thing, considering how every single Classic game still refers to him solely as "Eggman" and any mention of "Robotnik" is absent from the Japanese version of Sonic Adventure, I figure SEGA's current position is something like "he's just always gone by Eggman since Sonic 1", no?
I’d love to see a fight between Amy and Knuckles to be honest.
I thought they had real sibling energy in Twitter Takeover Six so that could be an angle for the fight if it wasn’t a serious one.
At least, thank you for showing shadow does care about Christmas.
Starline Terios actually sounds raw
13:03 Nope. Only Jupiter did, to my knowledge.
On the topic of Terios, let's say he gets a new design that takes bits and pieces of the other four. My idea for him would be to make Terios the almost, no, definitely evil asshole Shadow was in Boom, war against the multiverse and all.
As for backstory? Uh... You know what, let's just bring back Boom Shadow's whole ordeal and reincarnate it as Terios; he's just some prick who lives in a cave, and somehow powerful enough to be more memorable than Infinite pre-phantom ruby.
