If games like Sonic 3D Blast, Tails Adventure and Knuckles' Chaotix are not classic Sonic games then Sonic 06 is not Sonic Adventure 3.

---SPOILERS FOR SHADOW GENERATIONS---

Ok so hear me out.

I think all these npc choices are meaningful. Showing different ways Shadow lives/thinks or *could* live and think. Think of Shadow 05.

Orbot and Cubot are very simple characters and this game if recall correctly is the first one they've ever been in without Eggman. Which isn't too notable, but it does speak to the one nature of their characters. Mostly in that they serve Eggman.

Sonic Battle was one of the games that touched on this aspect of Shadow's character a lot too. His use as a tool, a weapon to be aimed. He is treated this way by Eggman too, in SA2, Heroes and Shadow 05.

Orbo and Cubone don't really have a place in the story. At this point in Shadow's arc, he is very much assured of his autonomy.

Big The Cat is a phenomenal character, and I will not hear otherwise. He embodies one of the core themes of not just the series but Sonic and Shadow specifically. To live freely and do as you please.

Shadow is defined by making his own decisions. Living by his own code. Big the Cat is him fr.

Shadow throughout this game displays his mean streak. You see him about to explode in anger for the whole first half, and while it slows down in the second half because of Maria, it never goes away. Omega feeds into it like a bonfire so they're best friends.

And friends is a good word. Omega isn't a one-note murder-bot. He's relieved when Rouge is safe. He tells Shadow about how he trusts him. This anger and violence are part of Shadow, but they still leave room for love and compassion.

Shout out to E-123 Omega being the funniest guy in the room in another game btw. Long held record.

Maria and Gerald are very interestingly framed in this game. Shadow's first instinct on seeing them is to protect them. To save them from whatever impending disaster is coming. In what is a very character defining play, Shadow ignores this, squashes it immediately. There's something bigger going on here. And only when he sees them again, the big bad is out of the way does it all come back. That hope, that dream...

Talking to Maria throughout the game does a great job painting a picture of The Ark without the grief-stricken lens of Shadow and Gerald. We get to see the center of a tragedy talking about her home.

Maria shows so much love and honesty that you can see why the grudge about her fate lasted so long. She becomes such an emotional battering ram for Shadow all while she's just happy to talk to her friend.

And interesting point to note, at many times in the game, Maria is horrified by the anger that Shadow displays. What Omega encourages him to do is unfathomable to her, and hammers the point home for Shadow that he isn't theirs.

Their presence reflects what Shadow used to be. Before all of his mew experiences. Which brings us perfectly into who's sitting between Maria and Omega, Rouge.

Rouge is beautiful in this game. She Flys in at the last world and becomes an emotional rock for Shadow. And eventually, who he leaves white Space with. Back to the real world.

Rouge represents his current life. His family, the ones who care about him. Rouge offers the love and acceptance of Maria, with a tacit understanding and respect of his power and brutality.

I love this game. I want more of this. Give shadow his own franchise. Put him in everything. Shadow Frontiers. Shadow Colors. Shadow Spinball

Everything Is Canon?

Many people have struggled and contended with the Twitter post that everything is canon. Many people believe it's just a joke pointing referencing Puyo Puyo saying it can't be canon. Others claim it means everything including Sonic Underground is canon. So how about we clear things up on what is being meant here.

The phrase everything is canon hasn't only been used on the Twitter post but can be found all throughout the Sonic The Hedgehog Encyclo-Speed-Ia, often referencing the canonicity of things and clearing things up.

On Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine it mention uses everything is canon and while it doesn't say Mean Bean is canon, it does mention the Puyos in Sonic Mania. This lines up with said Puyo Puyo reference meaning this isn't supposed to be a joke. What is going on here is crossovers had Sonic and the Puyos visit each others dimensions. We know this kind of stuff can happen since the Olympic games are canon, and in Sonic X Shadow Takeover - All Answers (+ Bonus!) Shadow and Sonic show they are aware of the Monkeys from Monkey Ball.

Now Mean Bean itself can be contend if it's canon since the Encyclo-Speed-Ia never clarifies if it is. The same can be said for Sonic Spinball, while it is included in Sonic Origins, as far as I am aware nothing says it's canon nor is there an everything is canon claim alongside it. In addition is includes the Greg Martin Sonic designs, references to the Satam cast, and Cluck. And the only game that referenced it is no longer canon, speaking of which.

Some material Sonic Team can come out and just straight say is not canon thus the everything is canon doesn't apply to it. Case in point Sonic Chronicles.

Some material that existed before this claim aren't canon because they either contradict the canon of the games, can create legal trouble, contain vastly different character designs, or were never intend to be canon. These include Archie Sonic, Fleetway Sonic, Sonic Boom, Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog, Shogakukan Sonic, Sonic Satam, Sonic Underground, etc.

Materials that are canon would include things like the Olympic games, the newer mangas, animations posted to the the official channel, the twitter takeovers, and the comics for various reasons. While some games are either fully canon or soft canon like The Murder Of Sonic The Hedgehog. Some stuff like Sonic Prime in spite of it's problems is canon. And even Sonic Speed Sim is canon, speaking of which.

While not part of the game canon and they are their own continuity the Movies are sorta canon via crossovers through Sonic Speed Sim, and maybe some weirdness happening in Sonic x Shadow Generations.

Finally the Lego stuff is probably not canon at all given it includes dead characters, alongside other advertisements.

I saw Mario! Yuu. And now I'm just thinking of Sonic! Yuu. An alien like hedgehog from another planet who runs really fast, fast as the speed of sound, loves adventure and the feeling of freedom, cocky at times but has a heart of gold who helps others.

Well, you know what they say: GOTTA GO FAST-

No but seriously Sonic! Yuu would totally spinball into Overblots.

But speaking of running really fast, I think Sonic!Yuu would join the Mountain Lovers club and not the Track and Field Club. Not because Sonic! Yuu would sweep the competition, but because they want to explore the new world. And hey, being in the Mountain Lover's club would allow them to explore...even if they have to join with Jade...

Speaking of, Sonic! Yuu is going to suffer during Chapter 3. They are so allergic to water and will die if they do, meaning they can't help. So they're back at NRC trying to help the others with anything else.

Ace and Sonic! Yuu have levels of cocky that can't be competed with. These two would insult each other so much everyone would think that they hate each other or they're extreme rivals. But no. They're rude to each other, but if you insult one of them you know the other is going to jump you.

I'd like to think that Sonic! Yuu and Savannaclaw get along well, but they get into brawls TOO many times to count. It's like a challenge - whoever beats Yuu in *insert challenge here* gets bragging rights for the week. There have only been a handful of members to have achieved this, including the Savannaclaw trio.

But at the same time, Sonic! Yuu's world is a little messed up?

Sonic! Yuu: Oh, and Dr. Eggman! He's my enemy. Tried to turn my friends into robotic slaves once. That was not a fun time.

Idia: I'm sorry, WHAT?

Sonic! Yuu: I know right? Anyways, if someone turned a robot into a super death machine I'd totally kick their ass. *Stares at Idia*

[joshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

Speaking of Sonic movies I think the prop spinball used in the filming of at least the first movie but possibly all three would maybe be the coolest possible Sonic thing to own in the entire fucking world

Coaster Modes

[BTW- if you're an account that does NSFW/ Fetish content, I kindly ask for you to not interact with my work. Please don't take this the wrong way, I respect your interests, but I'm uncomfortable with that content and wish to not engage with it :] ]

Spinball seems to become more easily frightened in this "Coaster Mode" that happens between the 3 ride spirits. They tend to be more quick in their movements. Running away at the slightest sound that startles them. Sometimes, they're briefly seen by arcade machines before they're suddenly gone, and pixels are only seen in place of Spinball.

---

Unlike the more timid nature of Spinball. The Smiler is more "mad" in her mannerisms. She tends to be more giggly, sometimes unable to control herself when she's laughing. Her eyes when she's in this coaster mode can only put someone in a daze, however. She's pretty harmless when she doesn't have anything to marmalise anyone, as she can't do much without it.

---

Galactica doesn't seem too affected when her coaster mode is active. She seems to float a bit, with stars and constellations orbiting her. She speaks more quietly, only The Smiler and Spinball Whizzer can really hear her. She's seen to be with The Smiler and Spinball Whizzer while they're in their coaster modes. Almost as a guardian of sorts for the 2.

---

Here's the first ever look at one of the (many) AUs I have! I made a TMM AU of the trio being ride spirits for certain Alton Towers rides :D. Basically I made this AU last year cuz I thought it would be cool to see what the trio would be like. I mainly chose the rides they would be based off of personality, and also what they would like if they themselves went to Alton Towers :]. Also to clarify, Bex, Silly and Stacy still have their names, it's just that the 3 chose the names themselves in this AU, and everyone else (like park characters and such) would know them by their 'coaster names' if you get me. I'll talk more about them once more art and such is made- but for now- here's their coaster modes! :D

[xdestiny-doodlesx]

Hiya guys I thought it was time to introduce you all to my Alton towers OCs and let them take over my Tumblr so let me introduce everyone One by One. 

First, we have Tiffany Talbot or Towers depending on the situation, she is the “ruler” of all the wonder and magic that makes the park so magical, she is independent, and very smart but can be headstrong and stubborn but at the same time, she holds quite a lot of grief as well within her.

Next, We have Sonya Spinball the protector of Spinball Whizzer, Stellar Smile’s older sister, opposite her younger sister Sonya is very calm and acts like the cool tough girl but when it comes to video games her childlike side comes out full force. 

Then we have Gale’s night secret weapon 4 also known as Galactica, she is the main protector for this ride, Gale is very shy and introverted but once she comes out of her shell she will talk your ear off all about space and the stars.

Now we have Nex Red, Secret Weapon 3 Protector also known as Nemesis, Nex was a failed experiment by the Phalanx, he became an experiment to help with his poor mother failing health but things went wrong even to this day Nex won’t speak about the horrors he witness and went through, he is very brooding and overprotective of his fellow protectors, he is very much the big brother to all his friends.

Onto the last lot of character, I Promise.

Here comes Roxy, we don't know Roxy last name but you will never meet a more energetic and caring girl in your life, she is fast if you don't see her near Rita she will be running around the park speaking to all her friends and greeting all our guests. 

Ivy Vines is our shy and anxious protector of Secret Weapon 6 Thirteen, she spends most of her time in the woods of her ride making sure all the plant life and trees are getting enough water and sunlight, she also helps Tiffany on her days off do gardening for the ruins of the tower, In her coaster form though ivy becomes something that nobody should witness with their own eyes.

And lastly, for the moment, we have Oliver’s Abyss the protector of secret weapon 4 Oblivion, Oliver is not a very big people person he prefers to be left alone with his paperwork and not around his fellow coasters but with stellar he gets anything but piece, but hidden underneath this all he is worried about all his friends and the guests but Mainly Everly Haunt who has became very unstable since her ride has changed over. 

And there we go guys that is everyone, ill be posting more of these characters and adding more as I go and in the coming weeks, everyone will have their Coaster forms. 

But if you guys have any questions for me or my Characters the ask box is now officially open so ask away all.

Sonic Chronicles, a Sonic RPG from Bioware back when they still had a perfect reputation & is the closest we got to a game based on the comics continuity. It got B's & 80%s from various review sites & magazines. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh God it hurts, please make the hurting stop.

Here's 3 quick facts about me: A. I can play Sonic games B. I can play RPG C. I can't play rhythm games to save my life

Which of these 3 facts would you say is the most important to playing a Sonic RPG? Well it turns out the answer is C because every damn attack & spell requires the player to do some Elite Beat Agents bullshit to work. Made worse that the you-did-it-wrong sound effect sounded more like a you-did-it-right SFX to me, so I didn't realize how badly I was screwing up for the longest time.

In fact, the audio top to bottom is just terrible Shadow's "voice" is the falling-down-the-tube SFX from Sonic Spinball. & the music, Hoolee Moolee the music. Apparently Bioware ran into legal issues with their soundtrack in the 11th hour or some other shit & at the last minute replaced most of the tracks with MIDIs from a fan site. The results weren't pretty.

Story is.............ok. To Bioware's credit, they've done some homework & tied previously unconnected threads from multiple past games together to form this game's backstory & this was probably the last time any Sonic game remembered the Master Emerald. However, some of these callbacks don't really amount to much in the long run. OK, so the Dark Brotherhood built the Gizoids from Sonic Battle, what of it? The gizoids in the game might just as well have elite Brotherhood troops for all the difference it makes. If Gemerl from Advance 3 made an appearance they could've gone somewhere with it but he doesn't so nevermind.

Speaking of the Dark Brotherhood, the other disappointment is that this is like the only Sonic game to incorporate elements from the archie comics canon, except not really. Instead of the Dark Legion/Julie Su/Dimitri, SC has the store brand knock-offs Dark Brotherhood/Shade/Ix. It's like getting Kylo Ren instead of Jacen Solo. I hate to imagine a sequel having substitute Freedom Fighters if Bioware kept going.

Dialogue choices seem to be there for the sake of Bioware tradition, not to actually add anything of note. You can either choose from sarcastic Sonic or serious Sonic, but the results the same regardless. This probably would've been a better game to work in a custom player avatar instead of Forces, Bioware at least could've done more with it. Tails is so insufferable about reminding the player to save the game, he continues to do it even after telling him to stop. That's how inconsequential choices are.

Stats are so weirdly implemented. Damage output is not a visible stat, you can equipped items that increase your damage but they don't show by how much. There's an "Attack" stat that you can see, but it actually refers to the attack's accuracy, which I didn't know for the longest time & was hella confused at why I was doing so little damage. You give party members protection from different elemental attacks, but there is no single enemy in the whole game that even deals any sort of elemental damage so the shields are pointless.

In short, it's a game where every facet of it fails. Crap graphics, terrible audio, lousy controls, half-assed gameplay, weak story, & a cliffhanger ending that'll never get resolved thanks to a lawsuit from a dumbass ex-writer. It may not be the worst Sonic game ever but it was the 1 that broke my heart the most.

Though, to be fair, Chronicles also sold like shit. If memory serves me, there were special "Viral" Chao that were supposed to be given out at special events, but they never were due to poor attendance from the players.

Chronicles is only just barely passable as "baby's first RPG", but it's when the game is shown to someone who's played many better RPGs that the game's many glaring flaws are laid bare for all to see.

Central City Library's Tiers of Canonicity

With a franchise going on as long as Sonic, with as many different writers handling the reins, inconsistency isn’t just likely, it’s to be expected. So how do we, at the Central City Library, handle canonicity?

Well, the best explanation is always the most consistent one, so let’s begin with an objective metric to organise priority for entries. This will be handled by way of “tiers”, so to speak.

Sonic Team canon: the core games (platformers developed by (or in collaboration with) Sonic Team). That list includes the following:

Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis/Mega Drive)

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis/Mega Drive)

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles

Sonic 3D Blast: Flickies’ Island

Sonic R

Sonic Adventure

Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure

Sonic Shuffle

Sonic Adventure 2

Sonic Advance

Sonic Advance 2

Sonic Pinball Party

Sonic Battle

Sonic Heroes

Sonic Advance 3

Shadow the Hedgehog (NGC/PS2/XB)

Sonic Rush

Sonic Riders

Sonic the Hedgehog (PS3/360)

Sonic & the Secret Rings

Sonic Rush Adventure

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity

Sonic Unleashed (both the PS3/360 and PS2/Wii versions)

Sonic & the Black Knight (technicality, as part of the storybook subseries)

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1

Sonic Free Riders

Sonic Colours (both versions)

Sonic Generations (both versions)

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal

Sonic Lost World (both versions)

Sonic Free Runners

Sonic Mania (explicitly ties into Sonic Forces)

Sonic Forces

Team Sonic Racing (explicitly referenced in Sonic Frontiers)

Sonic Frontiers

SEGA themselves appear to agree with this as taking the highest priority, going by the Steam page of The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog. Yes this is an April Fool’s game, but they still give us a specific indication of its canonicity outside of the “everything is canon” gag.

Games canon: all official games not developed by Sonic Team, specifically those not rendered non-canonical. No list provided due to volume.

Expanded canon: all official alternative media, specifically those not rendered non-canonical. This list includes:

Sonic Forces (promotional comic)

Sonic Mania Adventures

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW comics)

Sonic Prime (Television series)

Sonic Channel short stories

Miscellaneous shorts released on the Sonic the Hedgehog Youtube account

Miscellaneous canon: all official information put out that isn’t in a story in and of itself, including

Miscellaneous videos on the Sonic the Hedgehog Youtube channel

Miscellaneous information on the Sonic Channel website

Information books such as the Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-Speed-Ia

Miscellaneous tweets on the official social media accounts - primarily stuff like SonicPict, the gag posts are likely of little actual relevance.

Non-canonical information, the primary reason this isn’t excluded entirely is because sometimes it can be interesting to talk about these sources despite their non-canonicity. This list includes:

All Word of God statements (given the franchise is in constant flux, secondary WoG statements have suggested ignoring WoG as a legitimate source before, and, sometimes, people are just wrong)

Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball & Sonic the Fighters (makes irrevocable errors to the continuity, namely putting in more Chaos Emeralds than what actually exist)

Sonic Chronicles: the Dark Brotherhood (one of the few games to be explicitly confirmed non-canon without a WoG statement)

Games with no story (such as a majority of the Sonic Cafe games)

Media set in alternative continuities will not be mentioned primarily because if it comes up it would be as part of their own dedicated lore pieces.

But even within each tier of canon they’re going to be conflicting evidence, so here’s some more information on what takes priority:

Information that’s presented within the individual games/[primary medium] takes priority above all else, as those are the actual stories as they exist

Attached media (such as game manuals) would take the next highest priority, as it is indeed directly attached to the media.

Official books relating to the media (such as official game guides) come next.

Both English and Japanese will be used, due to the writers for various games in the series being Japanese or English first and (by extension) having their stories written in English or Japanese, though the original language will be given automatic priority.

Non-Japanese sources prior to Sonic Adventure (released in 1999 outside of Japan) will be discarded due to the three main regions (Japan, USA, and the UK) having different continuities outright.

Within even these tiers, the most consistent explanation (that is to say the information with the least contradictions) takes the next highest priority.

And lastly, if multiple pieces of conflicting information are equally consistent, the most recent explanation takes priority.

I hope this makes our stance on the subject of canonicity clear for the present and future.

DO NOT PUT THAT IMAGE IN MY HEAD 😦

what if i was horizonzal...

[switch]

i enjoy sonic battle and spinball’s instrumentation but i understand that the “someone trying to run an electric guitar through a broken paper shredder” sound isn’t everyone’s thing
