More things I noticed in Sonic 3 (SPOILERS AHEAD!!!)

So I watched the movie 3 times now LOL, and I noticed a couple more things on my third watch.

- At the beginning of the movie when the trio races, Sonic hits a wooden goal sign when he finishes. Might be obvious but that’s a reference to the classic games when you finish the level and pass by a spinning sign

- Before Team Sonic encounters Shadow, Knuckles’ strength is emphasized when a car is thrown at them and he catches it with one hand. This makes the scene of Shadow beating the crap out of him more shocking, and shows us how powerful Shadow really is. I like that they reminded us how strong Knuckles is by demonstrating it before he got beat up, it makes Shadow’s feats more impactful.

- Commander Walters was established to be kind and sympathetic towards Maria/Shadow. He talks down a fellow guard when Maria skates by and speaks to her gently. So when he yells at the soldiers to stand down when they’re about to shoot Maria and Shadow, it makes sense for his character

- When Robotnik rips off Agent Stone’s shirt for new clothing material, his shirt is still gone in the next scene! He buttoned up his tux to hide it, I thought that was funny. Also, you can see the patchwork Stone attempted on Robotnik’s suit

- Sonic Mania character select screen during the scene where Maddie suggests that Sonic uses the master Emeralds to go super, his little hologram even does the power up animation!

- Shadow’s flashbacks and memories aren’t unprompted or random and I just appreciated that. I think his first one was after he saw Maria’s abandoned skate, the second one when Sonic panicked over Tom’s unconsciousness, and the last one when Gerald told Shadow to “remember what they did to her” to justify their actions

BONUS: things I think might be a stretch but I still thought about during the movie

- The explosion in the sky after both Robotnik and Shadow sacrificed themselves reminds me of the whole “a star’s light still shines even if the star is already gone” thing the movie said. Robotnik and Shadow were already dead yet the explosion that killed them shone brightly in the sky. (well Shadow’s still alive, but might still apply for Robotnik!)

Overall, this movie has more details than I thought it would for a goofy kids’ film, and I like it a lot! Good balance of being fun for the family yet also rewarding to hardcore fans.

Things I noticed in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie: (SPOILERS AHEAD!!!)

- “We don’t know if it’s godzilla or hello kitty down there”, said by Sonic before they meet Shadow. It’s funny because Shadow is both. A powerful alien monster with fluffy ears and a little snout!

- Sonic repeatedly abandoning his friends to pursue things by himself before it came to breaking point when they argue about the Master Emerald. He chases after Shadow on the motorbike despite Tails warning him not to, he runs into the GUN shield despite both Tails and Knuckles screaming that he wouldn’t make it. I like this because it shows how impulsive and independent he’s used to being, and builds up his choices in the final acts. He’s always had a little trouble slowing down.

- Robotnik saying he’s undesirable to all possible genders, not just women… pansexual Robotnik canon?!?!

- Tails being all cute and the most excited for the live show in the Chao Garden cafe, reminds us that although he’s a genius - he’s still a child!

- Whenever Shadow’s in the dark, his eyes glow red! Very spooky and alien

- My friend pointed out that at the end after Knuckles saves both Tails and Sonic from falling, they land in a corn field. This might be a reference to aliens and their cornfield patterns

- Gerald’s true intentions and uncaring nature towards Robotnik was always apparent in subtle interactions throughout the movie. Robotnik holds his hand up for high-fives but gets left hanging, he asks for a chest bump and gets ignored. Gerald never actually cared for Robotnik, he was just a means to an end. RIP Eggman

Sonic Human AU - Metal Sonic, E 102 GAMMA, E 123 OMEGA

Metal Sonic is a robot with an extremely convincing human disguise. When he gets injured (usually by Sonic), the illusion drops a little while his system works on repairs, and since he’s usually fighting something, he tends to have a lot more robot parts. He originally was identical to Sonic, sans the giant hole in his chest, but after he started getting a bit rebellious he ended up with shorter hair, slightly different coloring, and an attitude.™ He communicates via sign language, a communication board, and flipping off people who annoy him.

Gamma is a roboticized human- fortunately, as in Sonic Adventure, she eventually loses the robotic shell and goes back to mostly how she was, but of course that’ll take a while to happen. While she’s a robot, she’s got a gun hand, glowing eyes, and a serious case of amnesia, to the point where she doesn’t recognize her daughter, Lily, for a really long time. Amy ends up accidentally giving her an existential crisis which causes her to start freeing all the robots she can.

Omega is a cyborg, and he is also eight years old and thinks murdering all his enemies is the best option and gets pissed when Rouge won’t let him. Rouge broke him out of a roboticization chamber when it was only halfway through, hence the metal parts, but he’s not too perturbed- it just means he can smash more stuff. He’s a bit of a rebel, which can be dangerous when he’s half-army robot, but thankfully he’s under the careful watch of Shadow and Rouge, who only sometimes let him go wild and destroy everything.

More notes:

Like Sonic, Metal Sonic is black. He’s ripped his shirt so that the circular depression isn’t smothered. As mentioned, his human illusion drops bit by bit the more injured he gets, and since he’s fighting a lot, he tends to have a metal hand and leg (w/ leg brace sometimes) and part of his head. Despite his rebelliousness, he is pretty attached to Robotnik, and eventually ends up accidentally befriending Amy? Bit of a long, wintery story there.

Gamma is Somali and roughly a bit older than Vanilla. Her husband’s also been roboticized, I just haven’t made a design for him yet; she eventually frees him while breaking the other robots out. Even after she turns human again, though, she’s got some issues- mainly a lot of trauma, but also some phantom pains in her right arm, where the gun hand used to be, and difficulty standing for too long- think she might also have a few prosthetics.

Lily is Somali/Moroccan. Despite her being drawn as a toddler, I imagine her about 3-4 when the whole Robot Fiasco™ happens. She’s mostly nonverbal but very physically affectionate, giving hugs to everyone who seems nice.

Omega is afro-polynesian. I’ve been picturing him as an orphan whose town was taken over by Robotnik, and he ended up getting brought to the Eggman himself after running away and biting sentry-bots and getting himself nearly killed. Robotnik fixed him and Omega saw this as an adoption... til he decided to fully roboticize him and Rouge had to bust him out, so Omega’s pretty salty about this. While he’s definitely the main person in Team Dark who’s down for murder, he does have a bit of a soft side, especially for Shadow, who he sees as a big brother. Also, yes, the red bucket drawing is a reference to “he didn’t get out of the bucket.”

CHAOTIC NIGHTMARE ZONE; STOP DR. EGGMAN AND THE HEAVY KING FROM ESCAPING NULL SPACE WITH THE CELESTIAL DRIVE.

Three pairs of feet dash through exploding metallic corridors. They’ve fought long and hard to get through Doctor Robotnik’s insane and only partially constructed third death egg, but they’ve trashed it completely before it can even get fully operational. That doesn’t stop The Doctor though, it never does. It seems he’s already making his getaway, and as a blue blur, a red guardian, and an orange mechanic zoom across hallways, the Doctor seems always one step ahead. 

‘Oxygen Field collapsing.’ A computerized voice echoes through the halls.

“WATCH OUT TAILS!” Sonic The Hedgehog grabs onto his pal, Tails before he’s sucked out into space. Looks like the Death Egg’s atmospheric drives are still intact, or else the trio wouldn’t be able to look out at Earth via the destroyed wall.  Sonic is dressed in his usual attire, which is a blue denim jacket with cloth sleeves and a hood, as well as a red T-Shirt with graphics on it. His blue tech ware shorts and red goggles stick out with his ears and emerald eyes. 

Tails is wearing a pair of jean shorts attached to overalls, a smaller white T-Shirt, and some various mechanic belts and gloves. His hair is bright orange and his ears are more prominent and yokai-like as compared to Sonic, with twin tails that flick nervously. His skin is chalky and scattered with freckles.

Knuckles, the guardian from angel island, is wearing a sleeveless Sweat-shirt with a cargo jacket tied around his waist. He’s got normal cargo shorts but some tribal accessories scattered across his neck and muscular forearms. His red dreads and mocha skin stick out along with his purple eyes. He slams angry fingerless white gloves together and frustratingly stomps green boots against the ground.

“Eggman’s gettin’ away with the Celestial drive and all seven emeralds!”

“I can see that Knucklehead.” Sonic looks around, spotting something.

“Tails! What’s that!?” He points, a purple wormhole pulsates wildly in the middle of the vacuum of space. Tails looks at it for a while, the trio spotting Eggman’s latest master invention, the Time Eater, slink away after a figure and into the wormhole. “That must be some type of portal! If Eggman has the drive and the emeralds! You’d have to follow him through there!” Tails looks back at Sonic, who looks at Knuckles.

“Yo! Knux! Throw me!”

“Are you crazy!?”

“Do it!!”

The red guardian grabs Sonic and tosses him between debris, which he bounces off to gain momentum. This atmospheric gravity drive extends far, cause Sonic wouldn’t be able to gather any speed without it. He narrowly slinks into the portal and crashes onto the metallic structure of the Time Eater just before it shuts behind him, the view of the earth fading behind him.

Now, it’s just Sonic and Eggman in Null Space. 

There is lightning that goes on for distance, black clouds rolling against each other, purple fog that booms against the lightning. Stars that stretch on forever and ever. This is Null Space, the world between worlds, The Power of Stars. Any of those stars could be a whole different reality. Sonic barely has time to still his amazement before he dodges a punch which Eggman willingly throws at his own machine to try and shake off Sonic.

“YOU INSOLENT Rodent! How far will I have to go before you fall off!?”

Sonic grins, “I won’t ever stop chasin’ ya, Eggfart!” He blows a raspberry at Eggman. He’s about to throw another punch at Eggman, but a titanium fist slams into his cockpit. The Time Eater seems to already be partially damaged from the Death Egg’s collapse, so when a compartment opens that leads to the Chaos Emeralds coming loose and flying off into Null Space, Sonic doesn’t hesitate to leap after them, knowing full well the effects of Null Space’s warped gravity will cause him to fly forever.

“Grr!! Who dares-!?” Eggman flips around in his cockpit, finding a transformed Heavy King. Bulkier, more sinister, and colder looking. He looks like a mechanical version of Eggman, with less roundness and more sharpness. The Hard-Boiled Heavy is now the Heavy King. “What?! Hard Heavy!? What’s the meaning of this!? How dare you attack your creator!”

“Negative, Doctor. The Celestial Drive has transformed me. No longer am I your servant. You willingly chose to tamper with the energy of Space and Time, and through your hubris, you have created a ruler of the Eggman empire more superior to yourself.” 

“What!?” 

“I will destroy you, take the celestial drive, and conquer all of space and time. The Eggman Empire will succeed under my rule while yours failed. History will remember me as the superior leader... because I will make them.”

Sonic is awestruck by the heavy’s transformation. However, the idea of a multiverse with Eggman branding all over it is something he just can’t stand. “No way!” He swats his hand to the side. Then, his fists clench and his arms pull to their sides. The emeralds draw to someone with latent chaos emerald calling to them, swirling around him and soon fading into multicolored lights that absorb into Sonic’s being, a golden light explodes off of Sonic. Hair spikes up slightly, blue turns to bright yellow and black colors to white. Green eyes turn to a fiery ruby and body glows with a starlight aura. Sonic taps out, and Super Sonic taps in to continue the fight!

As Sonic flies in to draw the Mexican standoff between Eggman and Heavy King, the two Eggheads turn toward Sonic. “Sonic- Why you..!”

“I can’t just let you guys do whatever you want! I’ll kick both your butts if I have to!”

“Your persistence is noted, Hedgehog, but your attempt to interfere is futile. You will be annihilated.” The Heavy king speaks in a cold tone.

Eggman growls, gripping at his controls and slamming down at them. “Hey!! I won’t be ignored!! Heavy King!! No one’s going to destroy that rat but me!! And Sonic!! Super or not, I’ll leave you here to die in this dimension no matter what I have to do! You won’t get in my way!!” He points at the hedgehog, who grins. 

“Alright, Eggster! Let’s do this!”

The three rush at each other, the battle begins! Heavy King goes for Sonic, but Eggman uses the time eater’s massive fists to blast him away, then makes a swipe for Sonic. The Super Hedgehog dodges, kicking Robotnik’s cockpit and causing red lights to flash before a blast wave explodes off of the Time Eater to blast Super Sonic away. As Super Sonic is blasted away, the Heavy king zooms up to kick Eggman’s robot away. Then he goes for Sonic. The more humanoid shape of Heavy King allows Super Sonic to battle more dexterously with him. Dodging and weaving between each other’s punches, the robot, and the speedster cross counter each other, both their fists hitting each other’s cheeks and a shockwave blasting off from the impact. Stunned for a moment, both nimble fighters are swatted aside by Robotnik, who fires blasts of blue energy at both of them. 

Super Sonic recovers, weaving around the energy balls and kicking one into Robotnik, while the Heavy king just punches them out of the way with ease, both combatants rushing for Eggman. Sonic has the golden boost aura around him, moving faster than light. He dashes like a shooting star through the air while the Heavy King uses all his thrust energy to zoom toward Eggman. Regardless, Eggman’s Time Eater harnesses the power of the Celestial drive to slow down time so he can stop them. The Celestial Drive is made from shards of the Phantom Ruby, used to create the Hardboiled heavies. It can distort time and space. It needs to be destroyed, and Sonic is going to be the one to smash it into bits. 

Eggman uses a shockwave to blow the two away again. 

“I’VE HAD ENOUGH!! I’ll just use the Null Space’s energy to vanish through time! No matter where I end up, I’ll conquer it! Or maybe I’ll destroy it! Who knows!” Eggman does a crazed laugh while firing all the weapons he has at the Heavy King and Super Sonic. Sonic blocks the incoming attacks, the energy causing him to fly backward and be engulfed in cosmic smoke. The Heavy King shrugs everything off to slam a hand through Eggman’s cockpit, glass shattering. “WAH!!! STOP!” Eggman screams as the Heavy King lifts him from the cockpit like he’s an actual egg.

“Terminating Doctor Robotnik.”

But before any Eggs can be crushed, Sonic smashes his knee into the Heavy King’s head, causing Eggman to fall back into his cockpit and Sonic to land on the edge of it, ruby eyes starring down at the Doctor. Sonic aims his hand at The Heavy King and fires air cannons to send him farther and farther away. After he’s confident in the time he has, he dashes down to the time eater’s core and charges up his boost energy before flying into the heart of the time-eater and thrusting a hand into the core. He then rips out the Celestial drive and kicks the powerless Time Eater away. 

“Sonic! Wait!” “Nah, Doc! I’m sick of all this meddling! I seriously hope you get back to Earth, cause it’d be a shame for you to be stuck here, but I’m dippin’ Robuttnik! Seeya on the flip side.”

The Heavy King swoops in, attempting to swing a fist toward Super Sonic, but it’s FAR too late. The Hedgehog lifts his golden hands up and lets out a roar. “CHAOS!! CONTROL!!” He shouts out, a beam of white, time and space bending energy, stretches across Null Space. Eggman cowers under his cockpit while the Heavy King is blasted away. The Celestial drive disintegrates into rusty ash through temporal acceleration and Sonic also vanishes in the burst of white.

All three figures are scattered throughout time and space.

‎‎‎

The next thing Sonic knows, he’s falling through the sky… chaos emeralds next to him, and body reverted back to Blue, normal hedgehog looks… Before he even realizes where he’s falling to, his body panics and he lets out an “NOOOOO!!” Before crashing into a body of water with a loud CRASH. 

When he finally emerges, head lifting from the water, his emerald eyes scan his surroundings as he trudges up to the shore and lays his back against it. All he can see is a cliff leading into a forest, and a statue of a man sitting in a chair, holding a cube.

“I doubt I’m in Kansas anymore.”

PRELUDE END. NEXT STOP; TEYVAT.
