    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.

    Here I am years later, and the only other franchise to hold an equal place of love, reverence, and appreciation that Sonic will always hold is LoZ.

    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.

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.

You Shall live out the rest of time, trapped in your lamp as you where in days of old", knowing how these things work in other media wishes stick close to what is said.
    So if a timeline shatter was to happen again then he should be free right?

    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.

      My recommendation is, anytime they "confirm" anything, take it with a supreme grain of salt. Mania and Forces "confirmed" that Classic Sonic was a different character from another dimension. With interviews backing up that there was a human world and an anthro world. Now Mania and Forces are being directly contradicted with this new status quo. As stated in the video, it is purely how I make sense of the Sonic universe, because the things they say don't add up.

    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

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.

    They just forgot the Tornado 1 was destroyed or they wanted to bring back a classic element for a classic like game. Besides, we see the Tornado 1 many times throughout the series, so I don’t think Sonic Team intended on it being fixed at some point to have it continue in later titles for that classic representation.

Sonic goes through all the zones of both Sonic 1s, defeats Egg Crusher in Scrap Brain 4/Final Zone, Eggman runs away to Aerobase and Sonic finishes him off there. It's not like there's any actual story that could make such a "game fusion" problematic.

    @JamesHawkins17 Рік тому +5

    The only thing I think I disagree with placement-wise I think is generations from classic sonics perspective. I think it should go after sonic 2 for the genesis because the sonics had to collect the 7 chaos emeralds during it, and during the time of sonic chaos there was still only 6 emeralds, and more on that classic sonic also went super sonic there, which would imply that he knows what the feeling of going super with the chaos emeralds is already like. So I think that generations should go after sonic 2 on the genesis
