    For any long running series, one of the most common topics amongst the hardcore fans would: how do all the games fit in chronological order? Some franchises make that easy, just going from the first installment to the most recent one, however others are more complicated. Sonic the Hedgehog, is one of the complicated ones. This week's video is going to be a full compilation of the Sonic Timeline series I did back at the end of 2022 with some updates to make it the definitive experience.

    This franchise has certainly had its ups and downs over the years. But no matter how disappointing some of these games are, Sonic the Hedgehog as a whole, will always be one of my favorite game franchises of all time. The vibrant, exciting levels, the epic stories, the soundtracks that absolutely slap, the cool 90's charm and heroic nature of Sonic himself, and of course the rush felt while rolling around at the speed of sound make this a series worth remembering and holding out hope that the next game will be better than the last.

    What I think is worth mentioning is that in the japanese version of TSR, Sonic mentions to Silver in a pre-race intro, that Silver has lost his fighting spirit and how when they first met, he always said stuff like "I'll destroy you" and stuff akin to that.
    Silver saying he doesn't remember said things happening.

    Imagine how much faith Sega could restore in their audience by doing a full reboot of the story and doing it right. Everyone wants the story starting at Sonic Adventure to be done in a way that really makes sense so if they did full remakes of those games people would obviously buy in. It's been long enough that the old audience has forgotten a lot of the game, the new audience would see it as fresh material, and most of the story for the next like 4 games needs to be revamped regardless so it seems like it could kill many birds with one stone and take Sonic back into its more serious direction which makes more logical sense than appealing mainly to children. I mean, most sonic fans are adults nowadays.

      Don't know if this would be a good thing for Sonic franchise. Something feels strange for me when a franchise's whole focus is remaking/rebooting old games and not creating anything new. Sonic's lore/plot really is a mess, but... well, this seems like those people who live their lifes remembering and reviving the past, unable to experience the present and venture in the future. In reality, I get this feeling with Sega's treatment to Sonic franchise too: they're giving a HUGE importance to nostalgia, and it feels strange.

    When it came to Mania and Forces, I always considered Mania to be canon to both timelines.
    Mania sends Modern Sonic to encore mode to explain where the Ruby at the beginning comes from.
    And Mania sends Classic Sonic to Forces, and then that sends him to Mania Adventures.
    I know Izuka said Mighty and Ray are exclusive to Classic or whatever, but we also are talking about the same series that reconnected the two timelines anyways. So who cares.
    Besides, Gens featured Mighty & Ray posters and I just love Mighty & Ray to much to not want them to make the jump to modern titles.

      Yeah, I've always been pissed that Izuka prevented them from actually being actually expanded upon. It'd be great to give them new designs, voice acting, fleshed out personalities (maybe Ian Flynn would take inspiration from the Archie versions if given the chance), and give us their first cannon interactions with the Chaotix. Plus it'd be great to finally reveal what the hell these two have been up to since the classic games, though since those Gens posters say they're missing, perhaps something bad happened to them.

    Its noteworthy that Sonic X gives explanations for all the plot holes mentioned in Sonic Adventure 2. While not 100% canon, you could argue certain aspects as being retcons.
    For instance, A section of GUN was trying to cover up the incident regarding Project Shadow, & intentionally made Sonic the scapegoat for Shadow's crimes in order to continue the cover-up.
    As for Rouge & the Master Emerald, her Emerald radar found it while looking for the Chaos Emeralds.

    In fairness to Sega, with regards to the Sonic 3 release before the game was "finished" (that is, with the &K part), it isn't as simple as "never mind, do the Happy Meal toys later". Deals like that always come with lengthy contracts and all sorts of terms that mean Sega's hands were tied before they realised S3&K wouldn't be done in time. It's not that their priority was "yay Happy Meal toys!". It was contractual obligation and not being sued by McDonald's for breach of contract.

    51:26 correct me if I’m wrong, but I think one of the scenes in Frontiers actually does canonize the fan theory. Both Knuckles and Sonic state how similar the Ares Island is to Angel Island (that’s somehow besides the fact that they both share the same first letter) and that in the audio logs from Eggman, he goes over how Gerald’s past must have one point brought him to Angel Island, without the knowledge of Knuckles or any of its inhabitants. It would make sense considering the shrine at the end of SA2 is quite literally built after the shrine on Angel Island, both housing a specific purpose to hone the Master Emerald’s energy

    Thank you for everything J you got me into this series. Sure I was a little bit of a sonic fan before you. I’ve played generations and forces and mania but I felt like it was just that thing that I would get into a little and then immediately stop like a month later and that’s what happened but when I found you a sonic generations video and your whole retrospective it made me realize just how good some parts of this series is to be honest I’m not the biggest fan of sonic adventure one, but I still love that game because of the ambition you got me into sonic and I am incredibly grateful. Thanks for everything J

    Obviously, this Mephilis is the inspiration for the name. Mephilis78 was my very first gamertag, and I've kept it all these, despite the fact that I usually don't even remember this character exists. On the bright side, the fact that Sonic 06 wasn't that popular has meant I've been able to enjoy not sharing my name with anything for a great many years.

      Ristar happens at the edge of the Milky Way, Flicky happens before Sonic 1 and Dynamite Headdy and the Bonzano Brothers takes place in a manufactured dome made by Dr.Robotnik, similar to The Truman Show.

    Admitting the existence of Shadow instead of declaring him to just be Sonic with a disguise would probably cause people to look into what happened with the Ark and bam! Suddenly the whole of Station Square wants GUN hung and quartered! Also they probably were in on the plan with Rouge but it involved having to keep up appearances by still actually trying to stop her so Eggman and Shadow didn’t get completely suspicious of her.

    My head canon on the silver/mecha/metal sonic conundrum is that metal sonic only appears in CD due to Eggman's time travel shenanigans. After he is destroyed in that game Eggman makes attempts at recreating this machine from the future by creating silver sonic, then mecha sonic before finally recreating the same metal sonic he saw back in CD

    If i remember correctly the gaia cycle in unleashed happens every few million years, so since the ancients are described to have arrived 10k years ago I think it‘s more likely that the emeralds were taken from „earth“ after the last gaia cycle and then somehow got to the ancients before they returned them to „earth“.

    I would disregard so many of the games that you included, but like you said at the beginning, it's pretty much up to the fans to make sense of the sonic timeline so the fact that you did include some games I wouldn't have is fine. A lot of things I would have just explained away as easter eggs or cameo appearances, and thus not really canon to the main lore, even though the game those appearances are in IS canon. I appreciate your dedication to trying to fit them all in though, seems like something I would do for other fandoms, but ironically not sonic's lore... I don't know why.
    Also, wanted to say that 06's plot is criminally underrated. Your summary of it reminded me of how good it was if you ignore the cringe romance between sonic and elise. It's a shame it was such a bad game. And the redesign for Eggman... oof... glad that didn't stick.

    What really stands out about Sonic in comparison to other platform game franchises, or even other animated franchises is that it has its own canon.

    Did anybody notice that he just put a FAN REMAKE in his TIMELINE of official Sonic games
    When he puts Sonic Triple Trouble in the timeline he replaces it with the fan remake made by Noah Copeland because in the original Knuckles is tricked by Eggman again into thinking Sonic wants the chaos emeralds for world domination but in the remake Metal Sonic (unexplainably) takes on the form of Knuckles to destroy Sonic and now Knuckles is off to stop Metal Sonic and collect the chaos emeralds (as told in the prequel fan comic despite not being able to collect them in gameplay) he scattered across south island (the game's setting) and this game retcons Knuckles' story in Sonic & Knuckles

  • @Kuzamer
    @Kuzamer 10 місяців тому +2

    Shadow being confused for Sonic doesn't make sense from an audience perspective. Sonic from an in-universe perspective was seen transforming with the Chaos Emeralds in the previous game and is known to run super fast. A black hedgehog was seen stealing a Chaos Emerald, while running super fast. It only makes sense to consider Sonic a suspect since he has been seen changing his form before and fits the description. It'd be like if the police just decided not to suspect Spider-Man if Venom broke and entered somewhere to steal something. They don't know what we know. Lol.

    I used to be into Sonic as a kid. I lost interest in it due to some of the games having iffy plots with holes in them and a toxic fan base.
    But now as an adult, I have a new appreciation for the series in that it is the unique product of multiple writers adding lore and iterations to the story. It isn't always cohesive, but there are definitely some interesting sci-fi and even mythological concepts in the series that makes it fun to dissect.
