My first encounter with Sonic and his rapid ways was playing one of his old games with my sister. Sonic the Hedgehog was a fantastic 2D platformer. My sister and I spent hours trying to clear each zone, taking turns each time we caused poor Sonic to run into some spikes or plummet to his demise. However, aside from this game, Sonic stayed mostly below my radar. Unfortunately for me, the next time I decided to try out a Sonic game was when I played the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog. Worst gaming decision of my life.
After playing that game, I realized why people said Sonic had not made a successful leap to 3D spaces. Gone were the fun, speedy levels from Sonic's original games. The clunky gameplay of the 2006 Sonic was bad enough, but the attempt at a serious story for him was the worst. Every time Soౠnic and his friends engaged in a deep discussion, I cringed. What had happened, I wondered, to straightf🅰orward gaming experiences with a focus on fun? What had happened to Sonic?
Thus began my downward spiral into Sonic's games. Amused and curious about how bad and nonsensical Sonic had become, I started investigating every game, cartoon, and comic about Sonic that I could find. (Seriously, I truly explored the depths Sonic had sunk to.) The one thought prevailing in my mind as I took on this quest was this: "How awful could it really be?" Surely Sonic could not have turned out so b🧔ad. Read on if you want to find out how bad Sonic really got.
25 ꦅ A Hedgehog♈ Of The Round Table
I'm normally very fond of different takes on the King Arthur stories. But Sonic's take on King Arthur was a tad too... odd for me to handle. In the Wii game, Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic travels to the world of King Arthur.
In this world, King Arthur is a bad guy called the Black Knight, and Sonic has to bring him down. To make matters weirder, once everything is settled in the kingdom, it's revealed that Sonic is the real King Arthur. Don't ask me how that works. I still don't know.
24 The Infamous Love Story ൲ 🅺
Who 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:made the decision to ha꧋ve Sonic and a human female engage in a romantic relationship? Seriously, who o🦋kay-ed that?!
In the notoriously awful 2006 Sonic game, Sonic and this girl named Princess Elise share a very close relationship with each other. It's gag-worthy for most of the game, but it only reaches new levels of low towards the end, when Elise kisses Sonic. Ever see a human kiss a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog? You don't want to. Trust me on this one.
23 💟 🅷 Why Sonic Is Blue
Blue is not the normal color for a hedgehog, so what makes Sonic different from a regular hedgehog in that he has blue fur? According to some Sonic history, Sonic used to be a brown-colored hedgehog. However, while he was in a laboratorꦉy, he tried running his fastest as part of an experiment.
He ran so fast, he ran faster than the speed of light.
Running at this speed caused his coloring to change from brown to blue. Maybe the Millennium🎐 Fꦉalcon should be colored blue, am I right?
22 ༺ Jumping Off Cliffs Rather Than Standing Still
Everyone knows Sonic as the guy who has "gotta go fast." As it turns out, Sonic really does need to go fast or else he cꦡhooses to throw himself off a cliff. (I might be exaggerating here, but still, hear me out.)
While playing Sonic CD, if you don't move Sonic for a bit, he begins tapping his foot in impatience. If you still don't move him, he eventually gets fed up with you and hops off whatever platform he's on. Once he's gone from the screen, it's officiallyꦛ game over.
21 𓆉 Sonic's Children 🦄
If you have nevꦡer read the Sonic comic books, you should totally ꦰgive them a read. Well, you should if you enjoy insane story-lines that don't make a lot of sense. I
n one of these issues, you find out that in a future version of Sonic's life, he married Sally Acorn and had kids. Not only do they have kids, but in order to save the world, future-version of Sonic has to go back in time, and he erases ever having had that family. But then he has to reverse that turn ofꦗ events so he can marry Sally again and have those kids too.
20 ♌ Why So Serious?
One of the things that makes the least bit of sense about Sonic games and story-lines is that they try to be deep and stoic. Serious plots do not do Sonic a lick of good.
No one ever played old Sonic the Hedgehog games because they wanted to hear about Sonic saving the wor🌌ld while fig🍎hting the forces of evil. Sonic was a fast-paced game full of fun. I played Sonic because I wanted to have a diverting time while making a pixelated blue hedgehog go fast. And that's it.
19 ꦗ Ancient Hoverboards
Sonic stories should never try to delve too deeply into the background history of their games. If you're making a game like Sonic Riders, where I'm going to be able to control Sonic as he hover-boards 🐷his way♕ around large maps, I'm fine with that.
But if you're then going to shove in my face the fact that in Sonic's world♒ there was once a group of ancient hover-boarders called the Babylon Rogues that would steal treasure, then I'm going to stop paಌying attention.
18 𓆉 🔥 A Home-Grown Guy
The Sonic Bible was a document made by Sega during the initial conceptualizing of Sonic the Hedgehog.
In this document, it was stated that Sonic was born in Nebraska.
So, for any people fro🌺m Nebraska who might be reading this, you share a birthplace with Sonic the hedgehog! Bet you never knew that. Of course, nowadays, Sonic's birthplace is considered to be on this imaginary place called Christmaღs Island. Strangely enough, I prefer him being from Nebraska.
17 🧜A Peripheral Character 😼
I usually love the darker, moodier characters that occasionally appear next to our main characters, but the existence of Shadow (and his solo games✅) always confused me. Shadow is basically the grittier, more chaotic v๊ersion of Sonic.
He's like a rogue Sonic.
But with Knuckles already playing Sonic's opposite, is there ♌really a need for Shadow to exist? Sonic is already cool. The attempt to make Shadow seem edgier and cooler just seems blatant and unnecessary.
16 ꦇ Yours Truly, Tails
Dr. Robotnik does not look like 🧸a serious villain. He does, however, get the job of being Sonic's a💃ntagonist done. He comes up with masterful plans to rule the world all the time.
At one point, Robotnik captures Tails, Sonic's long-time friend. Sonic learns of this when he finds a note from Tails telling him he's been taken. Excuse me, what? Tails took the time to write a polite note to Sonic while he was being captured. Iꦰ guess if Robotnik is a decent 🌞villain, Tails makes for a decent hostage.
