April 3th, 2023 Question Timestamps: ------------------------------------------- 1:48 - Remember in the Archie comics when Sally was roboticized becoming Mecha Sally? What would the story be like if Sonic was roboticized instead of Sally? 2:37 - Does the IDW version of Angel Island stay floating in one place? Or is it always floating across the world like it did in Archie? 3:23 - It’s rap battle time. Gruntilda Winkybunion vs Witchcart. Who wins? 3:52 - Hey Ian, how do I make cats like me? Seriously, every time I go to my in-laws' place, their cat either ignores me or hisses at me. Thanks! 5:32 - The world of MHA has always fascinated me with how quirks are realized, as it's even possible for the details of a person's quirk to be changed, as it's quite common for people to discover new things about their powers. So, for the characters of Sonic, what new discoveries of their powers would you create for them? If that is hard to answer, then which already made quirk from MHA would you apply to Sonic characters? As always, Go Beyond Sonic Speed, PLus Ultra Sonic!! 7:33 - One thing I actually liked a lot about Sonic Chronicles was the Combo Attacks where 2 or more characters team up for a special attack. Unfortunately Blaze didn't appear in Chronicles but if she was in the game what do you think her Combo Attacks with other characters would be like? Please at least include one for Sonic, Shadow and Amy in your answer. 10:32 - What if a time traveler stepped on a bug and created a new timeline where tails and knuckles roles were switched? where knuckles is the last of his kind and Sonic's best friend/rival and Tails is the genius Outcast who happened to be the chosen one of the thriving and definitely not extinct Fox people who must guard the Master Emerald. How would the story of the classic and early modern Sonic games change? 12:22 - "It's existentialin' time!" Sticks returns to {insert name of Sonic's world here} and recounts her zany multiverse adventure with a certain sailor-mouthed superhero ninja to Sonic & Co. But in the process, she accidentally spills the beans that they are all just fictional characters in a multimedia franchise spanning across games, comics, and various other media. Assuming they don't write her off as being high on cactus juice, how would each member of the main cast react to learning this devastating news? Include IDW characters like Surge and Kit (don't ask why they were listening). 16:24 - *[Frontiers Spoilers]* In both Sonic Riders Zero Gravity and in Sonic Advance 3 there are two moons. While this is likely not planned or even inspired by these obscure background details of two spin off games, would it be a stretch to connect these second moons with The End? Could this ever be brought up as an actual plot point? 18:39 - Blaze meets Sunset Shimmer from MLP before her redemption how does it go? 20:18 - This has been a burning question for so long: would antoine like Ratatouille (2007)? it's pretty low-hanging fruit, since he's french and he's a passionate cook, but this is very important to me. 21:24 - Ian you mentioned that when you write the comics you hear Roger's voice for Sonic's dialogue. What voice do you hear when you write for Classic Sonic? The Idea of a higher pitched Roger is kinda funny to me. 22:09 - I don’t know if you guys have seen the fan made game Project 06 a sorta remake of Sonic 06 with less bugs and silver and shadow gameplay looking amazing in it. My question is what are the chances we could get a proper remake of sonic 06 with gameplay looking like project 06 ? I would love playing it on my home console again 24:28 - If you had to write a storybook game set in a Wild West setting, what roles would the Sonic cast fill and what would the general plot be? Would everyone use cork guns like Fang? 27:00 - Surge and Kit decide to have a night in. With nothing else to do, Kit asks to watch some cartoons, Surge says "whatever". They start watching Disney animated films. During which film does Surge finally give up pretending to be bored, and start singing along. Which song breaks her facade? 28:27 - *[Frontiers Spoilers]* In the Jan. 16th bumblekast, you mentioned that Eggman's relationship with SAGE grew as an extension of his egotistical nature, and is supposed to be off-kilter since it's attachment built on "all the wrong reasons." I like this premise a lot, especially since I feel it fits rather well in line with game and IDW Eggman's "lost soul" status as a mad scientist, who is so consumed by his ego that he simply hasn't realized that's not the best way to live life, or that he's wrong. However I can't say it felt like that in the game? I think most people feel like Eggman genuinely respects and cares for SAGE as an individual, rather than a relationship built on his ego. His fondness seems genuine. If he is articulating legitimate emotions of love and care, isn't that ultimately growth beyond that, finally putting needs and wants of others first? 31:17 - Here's a Sonic Boom episode for you to write off the cuff: Knuckles becomes Enerjak. Hijinks ensue. GO! 33:16 - Eggman officially became Mr. Tinker in IDW, Witchcart became a nice granny, and Starline found a passion in MUSICALLLLLLL THEATERRRRRRRRRRRR! So now, how would an amnesiac Battle Kukku go? 34:11 - In Mega Man #55, the page representing the ZX games shows all four protagonists, with Vent having the X-Buster and Aile the Z-Saber. If you had ever gotten to cover that period, would that mean Vent would be given Model X and Aile Model Z? Who would get to use the Model ZX form, and between Grey and Ashe who would've gotten Model A? 35:54 - During SA1, Chaos seemed to be under the assumption that he is the last of the Chao. Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Divergence shows that there are Chao in Sky Sanctuary, which is very awesome. This seems like it could conflict though, because if there were Chao on Angel Island during SA1 then how would Chaos not see that there are still Chao? Did the Chao only move back to Angel Island after/during the events of SA1, are they only in Sky Sanctuary, or is there some other explanation? *The above question talks about the Frontiers Prologue short on UA-cam, but the question and its answer don’t relate to Frontiers itself, so you’d be safe to listen to it if you care about spoilers for the game.* ------------------------------------------- 37:31 - Thanks to those who support the show 40:31 - Outro 41:47 - Outtake *Kyle was on point this episode!*
To explain the joke: as a mod of our Discord server, Professor Ry has secretly had voice access to our recording stage channel for months. Since it was April 1st when we recorded this episode, he and I planned to prank Ian (and the listeners) by having Ry seamlessly replace me during Ian's countdown, since I knew right when Ian wouldn't be looking at Discord to see the switch happen. It worked even better than we expected. We hope you enjoyed it! -Kyle
16:24 iirc, the second moon thing was explained in the Shadow story on Sonic Channel 2021, basically the second moon is actually the Ark and act as a twin moon to the main Moon
I think you got the MLP question more or less right. Sunset (pre-redemption laser) would probably try to steal the Sol Emeralds, but I think she could probably put up a fight against Blaze.
I'm surprised Ian didn't consider having Surge singing Be Prepared from The Lion King. It's a song about "vengeance" and Scar's whole shtick is getting from under his brother's shadow.
14:38 Actually, since Tails is an advocate for the multiverse, I think he'd adapt to it pretty quickly. "Writers don't often write their characters' every single breath, but I'm breathing just fine. If our world was 1 to 1 with what the "real" world perceives as fiction, there'd be ALOT more inconsistencies." Meanwhile Shadow just looks up from his mug of coffee beans and says, "in fiction, no one ever poops unless it contributes to the plot. No writer is that meticulous." And then he goes back to reading. The Forces Avatar? They'd just shrug and say "Yeah this may well happen." While purposely avoiding any and all reflective surfaces.
12:32 Maybe the Echidnas were devastated so badly by Perfect Chaos that there weren't any survivors on Angel Island. Meanwhile, some ancient fox civilization saw Angel Island numerous times and interpreted it as a prophecy of a fox chosen one who could breach the heavens. That ends up being Tails, who discovers the Master Emerald and starts protecting it.
Possibility that Surge may return and Whisper gets her revenge by getting prep time due to studying her opponent and the environment putting her on the edge even with Kit's help. If Surge complains about who her life was ruined would Whipser redeem her or tell her off saying that you aren't the only one that hasn't lost someone and after that says you mess with my friends against your gonna be wishing Starline really messed up your life further.
33:16 It's official: we need a series of this. All the Sonic villains with amnesia-induced alter-egos. Eggman, Witchcart, Starline, and Great Battle Kukku are done. Now for Sage, Infinite, the Deadly Six, Metal Sonic, Mimic, Clutch, Surge, Kit, the Babylon Rogues, Rough and Tumble, Speedy, and just for yuks, Orbot and Cubot. Am I missing anyone? Update: Yeah, I forgot the Hooligans. Oh nerts, amnesia BEAN.
Question: We've had a few Knuckles swaps, so here's another one to add to it. What if Knuckles was the ultimate life form, created with the dna of the extinct species that had rumored ties to the emeralds, and Shadow was the chaos weilding war machine that guards Angel Island, succeding a long line of guardians that had taken up the task to prevent another apocalyptic event via water god?
Only problem with making Sonic the Sherriff again is that Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog showed that Sonic LITERALLY can't hit the broad side of a barn. Maybe we should call in Miss Possum again...
If Sonic and co. ended up on the Infinity Train, what kind of cars would they go through, and how would the heroes or villains react to the Chrome Car? For context: the Chrome Car is the connection between the "prime" world and the mirror world, a dystopia where everyone's reflection counterpart has to copy their every move as they do it, and any attempt at Individuality is punishable by death. Reflections also tend to behave as kind of opposites to their prime counterpart; the Atticus is brave and strong while his counterpart is anxious, One-One is chaotic neutral leaning good while their reflection is horribly lawful, buying into the dystopian "ideals," and Tulip wanted things to return to how they were and was running from the changes in her life, while her counterpart was much more of a rebel.
Here’s a fun question that tbh someone has probably already asked (sorry I’m new). What would be your what if scenario if Sonic (both modern and classic) truly was taken out of the picture in Sonic Forces after Egg Man’s takeover? Who would be the new heroes to rise up? Would the resistance be enough? Would younger characters like Tails, Cream, and charmy be forced to take charge?
For Ian: The Murder of Dr. Starline! The platypus is killed in cold blood, again! The suspects are Eggman, Orbot, Surge, Infinite, Metal Sonic, Sage, Mimic, Lien-Da, Mordred Hood, Maw and Clove. WHO DUN IT!?
17:15 If the two celestial bodies are the sun and moon and Sonic's world is really earth then they should appear to be roughly the same size when viewed from earth since through some cosmic happenstance the distances and sizes end up roughly invertly proportional and that is why full solar eclipses can happen.
Question: So the ancients came too Earth does that mean the 7 temples of gaia used to recharge the chaos emeralds are ancient structures, is it possible the ancients sensed light gaia's presence as good winning over evil and came to the planet for safety and worshipped him?
@Gracekim24 Oh well, it wouldn't be a sonic question if it wasn't asked twice. Just played unleashed, so I have many. It's good to tie things together.

April 3th
@@DiSCERiTY God. Dammit.
Don't change it. It fits with the April Foolery of it all
@BumbleKing Videos I know but takes time for him every take this longer they shouldn't this a joke

Oh my gosh thats brilliant
The zoom in on Ian's face at the start is peak gen-z humor and I loved it.

Rye did an excellent job as co-host!
18:15 The Two Worlds controversy was painful enough. Let's not create Two Moons discourse now. T.T
I’m sure the second moon is probably the ARK 😂
Seeing Ian silent in shock is a thing I didn't know I needed!
12:32 Maybe the Echidnas were devastated so badly by Perfect Chaos that there weren't any survivors on Angel Island. Meanwhile, some ancient fox civilization saw Angel Island numerous times and interpreted it as a prophecy of a fox chosen one who could breach the heavens. That ends up being Tails, who discovers the Master Emerald and starts protecting it.
That thumbnail alone gets an instant like from me
2:00 Sally is the brains, but isn’t Sonic the heart of the team?
The funniest thing about Sonic Boom Enerjak is that it’s basically the Chaos Knuckles arc
Possibility that Surge may return and Whisper gets her revenge by getting prep time due to studying her opponent and the environment putting her on the edge even with Kit's help. If Surge complains about who her life was ruined would Whipser redeem her or tell her off saying that you aren't the only one that hasn't lost someone and after that says you mess with my friends against your gonna be wishing Starline really messed up your life further.
Second option
The start took me by surprise. Well done guys!

I like to see what new skills Tails, Knuckles, and Amy have when they become playable in Frontiers DLC.

For a late April Fools episode, we ride on the Algorithm Quest!
Boom Enerjak gives me life

3:23 I can vouch for that, she wins easily.

I'd say the question should rather be: who didn't do it?
16:24
Isn't the second moon just the Space Colony ARK?
It was the most fun I had all weekend 😂❤
I think you need to adjust your recording setup a bit. Kyle's audio sounds completely distorted.
Speaking of Disney movies I feel like KH2 and Days would break Surge
Did Ian just confirm that Sonic’s world is officially called earth at 13:19 ? Ian you better not be April fooling us on that one
Like he said, that's been officially confirmed for a long time now. It's not new information
Is it possible that one of the two Moons is just the Ark?
I was thinking the same thing
Someone in this comment section said that was confirmed by the sonic channel 2021🤷♀️ so I guess so
17:15 If the two celestial bodies are the sun and moon and Sonic's world is really earth then they should appear to be roughly the same size when viewed from earth since through some cosmic happenstance the distances and sizes end up roughly invertly proportional and that is why full solar eclipses can happen.

Yes they came to Earth. I think people have asked about the order of events before 😅
@Gracekim24 Oh well, it wouldn't be a sonic question if it wasn't asked twice. Just played unleashed, so I have many. It's good to tie things together.
@@milesprowerdavis7658 okie dokie 😊 I have the game too
Omg one of my questions was answered instant like
Wouldn't Knuckles be a "native" in the Western Cowboy AU?
What is this nonsense that Sonic 06 didn't sell well? It was a Xbox "Platinum Hit"!
It was?
Yeah, I'm not sure why Ian's saying that. It was by far the best-selling XB360/PS3 Sonic game. -Kyle
Sn I guess I’m just gonna have to pray for my sonic 06 remake cus I think it’ll be AMAZING especially if it’s like project 06 on game console
22:08
I killed sonic.
