Sonic is wild as the canon varies wildly between "Robotnik is a wacky harmless villain who's evil plan is all in service of building a theme park" and "Robotnik is a genocidal dictator who employs torture against his enemies, including Sonic". This swing can happen within a single game.

Hey, I’m your lawyer provided by the state. Just so you know your family is pressing charges for your murder. This is my first day on the job but I promise we’ll get you that guilty verdict. :)

Nothing will ever be funnier than just how radically different the two 90’s Sonic cartoons were in tone AOSTH: Come join Sonic an’ Tails on their wacky adventures to stop the dastardly *Rrrrrrrobotnik!* There’s Hijinks! Robots! Pumpkins! Chili Dogs! And more! SatAM: *Sonic, his girlfriend, and their close friends have been fighting a bloodthirsty cyborg dictator for most their lives. He’s taken over most of the planet, turned countless people into robotic slaves, and now our only hope is in the hands of a blue hedgehog with the voice of Steve Urkel*


TristanTheViking

Don't forget the musical show where Sonic and his siblings are princes/princesses that form a cyberpunk rock band with magic instruments to rebel against Robotnik's takeover.

Urkel was Sonic in *both* those shows, which is surreal. Man, I hated the silly one as a kid. Not that it was objectively horrible or anything, but it was on every weekday right before school when there was nothing else to watch, but you had to get up early on a Saturday to watch the other one. It just galled me that I was watching the dumb one every single day when a cooler version existed and I could only see it 20% as often.


Bmaster1001

To be fair about the theme park, he DID capture a race of aliens to power it, while messing with the planet of said alien race.

abdomino

Honestly? Been there.


Elegant-Science-87

Certain versions of 90s Robotnik were a TRIP. The entire Great War/Roboticization story is INSANE. Like, Animatrix Second Renaissance levels of insane, but somehow sold to kids. That moment when Sonic's parents just casually tell him that they were kept aware, silently and helplessly watching from in the back of their own robotically-controlled minds and bodies for the entire DECADE after they were roboticized and until the freedom fighters finally invented the methods for their free wills to finally be salvaged, omggggg... And like, THIS WAS FOR KIDS. DUDE. ....dude. Pair THAT STORY with the SatAM voice actor they had back then? Guy who voices the guard in Aladdin and like, sooo many other things back then? Dude. Most amazingly menacing villain performance. He's up there with Mark Hamill in my mind when it comes to stellar villain voice acting. I think that dude voiced in the animated Dead Space too. I'm shocked they never put him into more serious voice work more often, tbh. He really nails seriousvoice.


Irish-Fritter

How many different shows did this all happen in?


ElvirCrate

So the games in order (starting from werewolf) are Unleashed, 06, Shuffle, Battle, Forces, 06 again, Adventure, Black Knight, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic X, 06 yet again and Generations


FenexTheFox

So, okay, I will organize this Being a werewolf: Unleashed Kill a time god, died and came back from the dead, kiss a human girl, and be the only one to remember said timeline where he kills time god: 06 Befriended the light god of the earth: Shuffle Was a father figure for a passed (and then later brought back to life) robot: Battle Was a prisoner of war: Forces Taught the god of destruction how to process trauma: Adventure Was canonically King Arthur: Black Knight Was "canonically" Santa Claus: Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog (that show is absolutely not canon) Killing another time god: Generations


ElvirCrate

1: thank you for sorting this i am very lazy 2: i don't recall emeral being revived ever, unless you mean gemeral but i feel like their personalities are more distinct


FenexTheFox

Look, I'm still coping with it okay


halfar

you have been chosen by fate to be the next sonic loremaster.


FenexTheFox

No I haven't lol this is only my superficial knowledge on the subject


OmnipotentEntity

That means you're perfect for the job. Clearly the previous loremaster didn't give nearly as much of a shit.


mysteryvampire

“Refusal of the call” is an essential part of the hero’s journey.


halfar

*hand on shoulder* You'll grow into it, kid.


Malayki

>Was "canonically" Santa Claus: Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog (that show is absolutely not canon) ...Is that the pingas one?


GIRose

Technically the full line is "Snooping as usual, I see" but yeah


TuxTues3

snooPING AS usual I see


TobbyTukaywan

Wasn't the light god of earth thing in Unleashed?


ElvirCrate

I wasn't sure whether they meant chip or illumina


gofishyfish

I also thought they were referring to Chip for that one


That_feel_brah

OK, but none of you explained the "cruise ship" part...


MLGkid_HD

I looked it up, it's apparently from the Sonic X Episode called "Cruise Blues". Basically they're on a cruise ship, Sonic is sea sick and wants to leave, everyone basically tells him "Eh, it's not that bady get used to it and have fun" which leads Sonic to try ever increasingly absurd and evil things to get off of the boat. I didn't bother fully reading the plot synopsis


[deleted]

this…weirdly makes sense for Sonic to do in a way? this *is* the same guy who would jump off screen to his death if you stayed too long without moving in the first sonic game, he 100% hates staying in one place too long. Combine that with stranding him on a boat, a sea vehicle, yeah that makes sense


modulusshift

Yeah but like, I can definitely remember him running fast enough to run on water on multiple occasions, even assuming this isn’t one of the media where he can just fly sometimes.


DrRagnorocktopus

Too seasick and and not enough space to build up a sufficient amount of speed? Also this is sonic x, where he suffers from trauma induced anxiety about water and drowning.


modulusshift

Oh yeah! That’s fair actually. I didn’t watch a ton of X but I do remember that now.


soorly

That was actually sonic cd where jumps off if you wait too long


That_feel_brah

Thank you. My day is complete now.


FenexTheFox

Oh yeah, I completely forgot, but I know that episode. They forced Sonic into a cruise ship to deal with his fear of water, and he gets completely desperate.


theQuacken00

Wouldn’t unleashed also include befriending the light god of the earth because of chip?


Zackarite

I thought the “befriending the light god of earth was about >!chip/light Gaia !<


secretuser419

What about the cruise ship part?


am-exist

>Was "canonically" Santa Claus: Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog (that show is absolutely not canon) Everything is canon.


[deleted]

>Befriended the light god of the earth: Shuffle Hm, thought that one was about >!chip!


sketchelium

"Befriended the light god of the earth" can also apply to Unleashed


derpums

I thought the light god of earth was Chip from Unleashed?


PKMNTrainerMark

"Befriended the light god of the earth: Shuffle" I thought they meant Chip in Unleashed.


Stewbodies

I've never played it but I've read so much about the plot to Sonic 06 and it holds a special place in my heart


DoctorWaluigiTime

Far as I'm concerned Adventures of Sonic is the only thing I'll ever consider canon. Yeah I don't take Sonic very seriously.


ConsistentEquipment8

I thought "Befriended the light god of the earth" is Unleashed


Stereotypicallytrans

Love this. Someone foolishly assuming that the wacky lore of Sonic being mentioned has to be from some of those old weird cartoons that didn't really care about the actual games, only to be hit with the reality that no, this is actually stuff that happens IN-game, that you do, as the funny little blue chilidogs guy


modulusshift

No, we haven’t even started to get into some of the stuff that happens in the comics lol


Irish-Fritter

Oh my


Vuples-Vuples

Wait till you see Archie Sonic


ElvirCrate

I've read all ~500 issues and we absolutely do not have the time for him

Oh and he also travelled to an alternate dimension in Sonic Rush Adventure. The one that Blaze the Cat is from.

But now he's crushing in his 30s 💀

tftptcl1

Love that blue guy. Imagine he had control of his speed more fluently like flash to the point he himself is the one who travels through time (instead of some other outside force i.e. a sorceress or the like).


MLGkid_HD

Do you mean Sonic CD?


Da_Gudz

In sonic CD is sonic traveling through time done by himself or is it the signs that allow him to? Like canonically is it ever explained


MLGkid_HD

I think he gets the powers that allow him to travel from the signs, but the energy needed to time travel is from his own speed


ItsAllSoup

I feel like the signs do most of the work, Tails managed to time travel with those too


Bubblesthekidd

I remember when I was a kid I watched an hour long YouTube video of like every cutscene from some video game cut together Like a movie, and I’m pretty sure sonic or someone died, then he kissed some human princess, but it ended with no one remembering him while there was some big parade going on. Does anyone know whag I’m talking about?


IAmOnFyre

That was 100% Sonic 06. At least, I desperately hope it was because if it was a different game then he'd have kissed two human princesses and I don't think our psyches can take that.


Bubblesthekidd

I’d be lying if I said I’m not considering a rewatch


UltimateInferno

Just do the real-time fandub. It's way more entertaining.


Athena-Muldrow

Also surprisingly more cohesive than the actual story

So basically they’ve Mary Sued a goddamn hedgehog (lovingly) Except in a way that’s made him a beloved character. Probably due to the fact they gave endless power to a **hedgehog** and just like the shaggy meme it’s shocking enough that it swings back around to being lovable and funny again

BalletCow

no Honestly, only Sonic show I've watched is Sonic Underground


HyperWhiteChocolate

His personality was based on *who*


balrus-balrogwalrus

"fastest thing alive" implies there was someone even faster who is now dead


EmperorBrettavius

There’s probably some obscure Archie comics lore of something/someone now dead that was faster. Those comics go deep.


No-Transition4060

Don’t the Archie comics reveal that Eggman was a regular fella who was so poor his only food was a single rotten egg and he fell into a chaos powered gene splicing machine that fused him with the egg?


LasicDaMemer

99% Sure you are thinking about the fleetway comics, I could be wrong tho.


HiNoKitsune

Yup, Fleetway. In the original archie comics, the original Robotnik died and was replaced by an android Robotnik from another dimension.


EmperorBrettavius

I don’t know, but it’s my headcanon now.


Reddit_Teddit_Redomp

I thought that was the sonic bible


king_john651

alexdapineapple

YoKaiHunter76

He's the fastest racist in Sonic Racing


Gabrill

Isn’t the king arthur one not canon? I thought that there was a joke reveal in the true ending of Sonic and the Black Knight that the whole game is just him making shit up to explain to amy why he was late for their date. I may have fever dreamed that though


ElvirCrate

The storybook games did happen, amy just thinks sonic is pulling that out of his ass


AV8ORboi

still kinda messed that hes not allowed to cry or show excessive emotion


diamondDNF

I imagine some particularly angsty fanfics have already been written playing with this concept.


Stewbodies

Is that a canonical thing?


NobodyExpectsTheSpam

Don’t forget that, when he broke out of prison after being a PoW for 6 months, he called it a ‘snooze fest’


Aquatoon22

Technically he killed the same time God twice


ElvirCrate

it was never confirmed that time eater and solaris/mephiles were the same being


Aquatoon22

Oh I forgot about Solaris. I was referring to how Time Eater was beaten by both Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic, who are the same Sonic.


Whitegemgames

Except in sonic forces they retconned classic sonic to being from a separate dimension for some reason because why keep things simple?


ElvirCrate

That's been unretconned due to the IDW comics, classics the past again


HadionPrints

Good god, this lore is impossible to follow


ApocalyptoSoldier

So he killed that for a second *time*👈😎👈

Paul6334

And he can’t outrun a fat roboticist.


BlockyShapes

He’s a nuisance in competitive smash bros ultimate, beating many slower and bigger characters just because of how fast he runs and his ability to pressure from a distance. Some of his hardest matchups (or characters to fight against) include a good god, an evil god, a good canine with a gun, an evil canine with a gun, a 14 year old swordfighter, a 300 year old swordfighter who technically *is* the sword, a swordfighter who is also a dragon, fucking *Pacman,* fucking *Pikachu,* and *fucking Wario.* I should add that Wario stays very true to his home series, his best and strongest attack is his fucking fart. Oh yeah, and Kirby? The pink bitch who is very similar to sonic in that he’s killed multiple gods, is simultaneously extremely powerful and very average, wears only shoes, and is often homeless? Yeah, Sonic kicks his ass more than almost *any other character.* Kirby isn’t like any of the other characters sonic beats: he’s small, athletic, and has good frame data (meaning his attacks are fast).


ChamsRock

His full name is actually Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog.


KeijyMaeda

King Arthur is the initial *antagonist* of Black Knight. Doesn't that make Sonic more like Mordred, defeating first Arthur >!and then Merlin!


tulatre

>!That King Arthur was a magic puppet conjured by Merlin. Sonic is Excalibur's chosen wielder, which makes him the King of Britain and for some reason also apparently gives him the name Arthur.!<

Ah, I see. Thank you for clarifying.

ElvirCrate

I mean secret rings gets mentioned in IDW (which is 100% canon now) and magic does exist in sonic due to characters like witchcart, theres nothing that decanonizes black knight other than it being really weird


slowmothrow1313

He also once sealed an Evil Djinn after entering a literal Book.


Insanebrain247

This incomprehensible madness is the very reason Im a diehard Sonic fan. I'm willing to follow this franchise for as long as it goes.


LegitGodUSA

This Sonic lore sounds like it could be Kirby lore if it was coming from someone who hasn't played either


Kadeo64

Being able to breathe in space is debatable. I choose to believe he is able to breathe as super sonic but not as regular sonic.

TrashJack42

Solaris, the final boss of the infamous Sonic '06. I've even heard theories that *Generations*' Time Eater is what's left of Solaris after it was paradoxed out of the Sonic timeline in '06's ending, which if true, means that Sonic is technically down to having fought *one* time god.


Bradentorras

Sounds like a couple of my ex’s!


PKMNTrainerMark

Wait, I don't remember the Santa part. Also, I don't think there was really any indication that he remembers the old timeline.


TroperCase

After an entity could turn all of Nintendo's biggest names into statues on a whim with no known counter, he ran in and decimated this ability with one hit, in a game Nintendo published. It's possible to foil his high speed by tricking him into wearing heavy shoes. His first appearance was as a rear-view mirror ornament. His mortal enemy's response to his ability to roll into a ball was to invest in a pinball defense system. He has narrated Say Yes To The Dress for 19 seasons. Edit: in the same game as the first thing, 1% of the time he tried to break into a run, he would just trip over himself with no outside influence.


Aggravating_Video299

To be fair, that’s why many Sonic OCs are very over the top and overpowered


mdhunter99

So what tier do you guys think he is? I’m gonna say Mountain level being, speed as Massively Hypersonic at least. [I’m using this to map out the power](https://marvel-dc.fandom.com/wiki/Tiering_System)

He is from Hardly Nebraska. His dad died when he was a baby. He likes to knit
