According to Iizuka, only Sonic, Shadow and Silver can go Super. Why? Who knows. But Iizuka can't make his mind up on if Classic Sonic is Sonic in the past, or Sonic from a different dimension and the lore surrounding him changes in each drat game so honestly, gently caress what Iizuka thinks. I don't take any stock in what the director, lead game designer, level designer & scenario writer of Shadow the Hedgehog says.

Which itself is weird because Tails recognized Chaos from Sonic Adventure in Forces and Adventure makes direct reference to Sonic 3 so I’m not sure why they added the whole alternate dimension thing.

You can’t even handwave it away as the Classic Sonic from Mania being a different version that actually was from another dimension since a lot of the modern characters recognize him from Generations.

The best way to reconcile it is that Generations caused a timeline split. Classic Sonic was Modern's past, but became a distinct, separate entity when he was pulled out of time. When he went back afterwards it began a new present leading into Mania. Modern Sonic's past wasn't changed, but Classic Sonic's future was.

I get why we don't want another Penders but sometimes it feels like its headless chicken roulette as to what's lore or not.

thats cause its sonic the hedgehog, a game series for children about a wisecracking super fast blue hedgehog and his buddy Miles Prower, the 2 tailed kitsune

Children's lore should be pretty easy to keep straight, the issue is it's Sega and Sega is bonkers adventure 2 released on the PC-FX

The IDW comics are the place to go if you want to bask in the continuity that Sega barely seems to remember exists. Remember how Cream has a robot? And that Fang exists and has a hoverbike? IDW remembers.

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I want the Sonic that constantly straddles the line between cool and incredibly lame. I found you... FAKER

I can believe that. It's even more open world-y a name than Rangers too.
