Sonic the Hedgehog lives a simple existence. Spending his🍎 days fighting the evil Dr. Eggman, Sonic's made it his life's work to keep our world safe from any threats that might come our way. And that's it. What you see is what you get.

PSYCH! Ha! You totally just got your world flipped upside down, and you're barely two paragraphs into this listicle! Here's the truth: there's more going on in Sonic the Hedgehog than you could ever imagine. Sure, a surface interpretation of the series is all you need to enjoy it. But once you start going a little deeper, the conspiracies start to reveal themselves, and they go deeper than you could ever imagine. But be advised: once you've gotten wise to these theories, there is NO going back. You'll never be able to look at the blue blur the same way again. Even if you think you're just snooping, as usual, you'll soon learn there's nothing "usual" about the world of Sonic the Hedgehog. Still on board? Good. Then strap on that tinfoil hat and brace yourself: your world is about ༺to be rocked harder than Dr. Eggman's ship at the end of the Emerald Hill Zone. This is 15 Conspiracy Theories About Sonic the Hedgehog.

Did we miss any theories you know of? Maybe you've got a few of your own? That comments section won't filไl itself, people.

15 💮 Sonic Games Are All About Saving The Environmen𝓰t

Iꩲt's so clear. The Sonic franchise starts out in the green, lush, Emerald Hill Zone. But by the time you get into th𓂃e future in Sonic CD, everything is dark, polluted, and covered in industrial technology. Sonic is in a race against time to save the environment, but no matter what happens, he loses. As you progress in the game, you move further and further away from nature, and normal looking environments, instead of finding yourself in increasingly industrial backgrounds. You may win the game, but you lose the battle. Thanks to the team over at for coming up with this conspiracy theory. Whether or not you believe in Sonic Environment Change, or Spinball Warming, it IS real.

14 Super Mario Appears In Sonic 2 🗹

Take a gander at the image above, taken from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (credit to user from the Sonic Stadium boards). Look familiar at all? Maybe because it bears a striking resemblance to the face of one Mario the plumber! The distinct mustache, the two little eyes, that unmistakable hairlin🔯e, it has to be Mario, right? But that raises the question: what is Mario doing here? Why would Sega want to throw in an easter egg basically promoting their top competition? Unless they knew all along that someday they'd make the switch to a software only company and were trying to get on Nintendo's good side! Either that or it's actually two lines drinking from a fountain. I could go either way.

13 🎀 Sonic I♌sn't Real

My internet-wide search for the craziest and most disturbing of Sonic the Hedgehog conspiracy theories brought me to ꧋Wattpad.com, where posted TigerSkittles101 presents this🍸 mind bending theory:

Basically, what this theory is saying is that since there's no way anyone could go as fast as Sonic and his friends do without the aid of machines, Eggman is just watching aꦜ bunch of kids pretend to be really fast animals.

12 Sonic's Whole World Is A Crazy Death Playground Made For Hiඣm

Every environment you come across in a Sonic the Hedgehog game (at least, the Genesis/Mega Drive ones) feels like a literal playground for a supersonic, incredibly fast hedgehog. Tunnels have been carved out for him to spin in. Shoe that will allow him to run faster are littered throughout the terrain. There are even fun balls to hit to keep your place if you mess up! Is it just crazy enough that maybe Dr. Eggman has set up all these courses as a sort of giant hamster wheel to keep Sonic from stopping his evil plans? I've been to a lot of casinos. But I've never been to one where there are flippers you can jump on to play slots with your own body. Those conveniently placed air bubbles underwater so Sonic can stay alive. It's all just a little too easy, isn't it?

11 ꧃ Yuji Naka Desper🐼ately Wanted Sonic Out Of The Spotlight

According to , there's a theory that Sonic creator, Yuji Naka, has wanted nothing more than to take the focus off the blue blur ever since his creation. It almost makes sense when you think about the way the Sonic games have changed, and, arguably, gone downhill ever since the Genesis and early Dreamcast days. Is Naka the one behind this? Cranking out as many new characters as he can and purposefully sabotaging new games to get his most famous and most personally despised creation out of the limelight? Fans initially thought this might be the case when Naka released Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, a Gamecube game that bragged about having the same creative team as Sonic. Let's put it this way: if Naka is trying to take Sonic down from the inside, he's going to have to try a little harder than Billy♒ Hatcher.

10 Dr. Robotnik Is Sౠtill Out There

When Sonic the Hedgehog hit the US back in 1991, American gamers came face to face for the first time with the blue speedster's arch nemesis: Dr. Robotnik. However, when the Sonic games were drastically updated for the Dreamcast with the release of Sonic Adventure in 1998, Robotnik was suddenly nowhere to be found, and had been replaced with a look alike who went by the name of "Dr. Eggman." Now apparently, Sonic's rotund red nemesis has always been referred to in Japan by this name, as a reference to the Beatle's song I Am the Walrus (because that makes sense), but I don't buy it for a second. Sega is hiding something♐. Just try putting Dr. Robotnik into Google: the first thing that comes up iꦺs Dr. Eggman! Robotnik is still out there somewhere, I tell ya. Along with the actual Paul McCartney.

9 𝕴 Sonic Is Homeless

Originally theorized by YouTube user , this theory states that the hasty hedgehog doesn't actually have any particular place he calls home. And think about it: do you ever see Sonic just retire to a comfy armchair, or even take a nap? Almost never. He's constantly off on some corner of the globe with his friends saving the world. And with the supernatural speed he possesses, settling down at the end of the day just doesn't seem in the cards for him. My guess would be that he occasionally uses AirBnB, or just snoozes in very remote, out of the way places only he can get to.  The guy is a natural born wanderer. In fact, that Dion song probably would work better in an ad for a Sonic game than Fallout 4.

8 Sonic Only Dates Real, Human Women ꧅

The 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog game is well known among fans for a variety of terrible reasons. In addition to glitchy levels and terrible controls, Sonic '06 (as it's affectionately called, and I use that word very lightly) is maybe best known for introducing the idea that Sonic prefers to date human women. Sonic has his first and only onscreen kiss with Elise, a princess he☂ is trying to protect. It's weird, uncomfortable, and bizarre, and that doesn't even begin to cover it. We all know Amy Rose has a thing for Sonic, and yet, the only game we've seen him be really romantically involved with someone was this one, and it was with a human. But hey, to each their own, right? What Son꧒ic does in the bedroom is his business. I just don't ever want to have to see it on screen again.

7 ꧒ An Ancient Tapestry Tricked Knuckles Into Following Eggman

This theory comes to us from Screwattack.com poster , and his based on the image posted above, taken from Sonic 3 and Knuckles in the Hidden Palace Zone. There are tapes🅘tries posted throughout the zone depicting Sonic and Eggman fighting over Chaos Emeralds, specifically, the Master Emerald. But based on the mural above, it actually looks like Eggman is the one protecting the Emerald from Sonic and not the other way around. Look at it. Sonic is some kind of fireball looking thing, while Eggman appears to be trying to secure the Emerald in a much safer place, his hand. From th🅷is, we can derive that Knuckles wasn't actually tricked by Eggman, but he may have believed him to be the true protector of the Master Emerald. It's not his fault, man. He's just an echidna trying to do the right thing. We could use a few more of those these days.

6 Super Mario Galaxy Was Sega's Idea 📖 🐻

This theory was first posted on the Sonic News Network board via user . Interestingly enough, this theory is based around the game Ristar, a little known Sega title. The theory posits that it was actually Sega who had the initial idea for Super Mario Galaxy's gameplay. "What if before SMG, Sega had an idea for a game starring Ristar, a star who travel the depths of space seeking new planets...If you noticed in ﷺMario Galaxy, gravity isn't just a gameplay element but the use of propulsion, such as star launchers and blue stars which

"What if before SMG, Sega had an idea for a game starring Ristar, a star who travel the depths of space seeking new planets...If you noticed in Mario Galaxy, gravity isn't just a gameplay element but the use of propulsion, such as star launchers and blue stars which draws you closer. These forms of propulsion were present in the original 2D Ristar games only instead of gravity it uses Ristar's arms. My guess that Miyamoto knew💃 in advance of this Ristar game and either began work on Mario Galaxy or Nintendo asked Sega to back off the idea."

But would Nintendo really do something like that? I don't think so. ꦏ168澳洲幸运5开ꦛ奖网:It's not like they're corrupt AF or anything.
