"Either Sonic is God, or could kill God, and I do not care if there is a difference!"

College Slice
adventure, adventure 2, heroes, shadow, and 06 all reference each other and adventure definitely references the Genesis games

I remember them doing a weird split thing where cream was "only for portable games" and shadow and rouge were "only for console games" but then they're all in battle and heroes so that must have fallen apart quickly. Also battle is referenced in advance 3 but none of the console games ever acknowledge advance/battle

They show the half that isn't blown up. The other half is still blown up but it's pointed away from the camera

I remember how Sonic X the TV show had it go. Eggman said he was reformed and as a show of it fixed the Moon.

Then the new Egg Moon suddenly blocked the sun causing an eclipse. Eggman says it’s because of software issue in the moons new metallic half cause it’s orbit to stop, and says it will take a couple months to fix in the meantime to provide light he has these cool natural sunlight orbs you can buy from him, that totally don’t have a hypnotic effect on that makes you like Eggman more.
Sonic wins the day a few weeks in when he points out that the Moon’s orbit stopping makes no sense in causing an eclipse. And Eggman was just scamming people.

Well the moon did not actually have it's orbit frozen. The robot parts of the moon were keeping it in a controlled orbit so it would always block the targeted chunk of the earth's access to the sun.

an orbit like that isn't possible and it would require a ludicrous amount of energy to make it happen.

It's Dr Eggman. He replaced half the moon with self replicating metal, then built a device on the ground that controlled how the newly repaired moon would orbit the earth.



Knuckles also flew up to the moon and punched off the signal receiver, restoring the normal orbit of the moon.

Probably cause Covid delays and they just wanted to get some announcements out there for Sonic’s 30th.

I know the green one (Surge?) seems to be based on the "Asura" glitch, but what's the origins of the other ones?

Starline is based on the dummied out Sonic in Knuckles Chaotix. It's still partially accessible using cheats, but its name is ********. A line of stars.

I believe some fans refer to said glitch as “Wecina” (sp?). Also I think he was actually supposed to be a dummied out Tails since Sonic’s sprite was clearly edited into Mighty.

Kit the Fennec is based on the Blue Knuckles glitch which has the properties of Tails. Also his design takes influence from the King of Sorrow from Klonoa.

Also for fun the cover for the second issue featuring them

It’s a White Knuckles with properties from all three of the mains. A reference that Starline makes in the comics as well, when he creates a device that takes power from the Level up Orbs in Sonic Heroes, allowing him to switch between having super speed, flight, or super strength at a button push.

There was basically no time between them being greenlit internally and announced publicly, from the sounds of things, so they haven't said anything specific because they didn't and possibly still don't know exactly what the collection's going to be.

Again, it's not like the anniversary snuck up on them or anything, so I don't know why they couldn't have it ready for the anniversary or why it'd even take that long to make - Sonic 1/2/CD all have complete modern versions that'd be trivial to port, and word is those devs had 3&K basically done as well.

Knowing how things are the devs are probably forbidden, under penalty of death, to even think about the 2012 remakes because it makes some Sod at Sega HQ upset for reasons beyond the kin of mortal man.

That's basically what Sonic Origins is going to be, which is why it's so bizarre that they had to scramble to put it together and that they're being so secretive about it.
