Sonic the Hedgehog started off as a pretty simple concept but I'm sure many people have fallen off from the series from time to time. Let's do a recap! 32 years of Sonic lore in one video.

Emerl, the 4th greatest civilization, and Mother Wisp: "Am I a joke to you?" But seriously, this is actually very thorough, yet so simple! Awesome work!

@lightyoshiman Месяц назад

its funny too because Emerl's back story is completely skipped over even though it lead's to some important moments in the sonic lore, why the knuckles clan wanted the emeralds so badly that they'd defile a sacred land and why gun started to fear gearlds work so much they'd raid the arc leading up to the shadow story

@haonneogip4740 29 дней назад

While I disagree on the bit about the Knuckles clan (what with Chronicles not considered canon and there being a 1,000 year difference between Emerl's creators and the Knuckles clan), I wholeheartedly agree on how he ties into the ARK's lore. He also directly ties into Sonic Advance 3 and by extension IDW, with Gemerl being made using Emerl as a template.

@Drydoctor-qo5wt 26 дней назад

@JonyPlayz1 Месяц назад

Great video! You really managed to explain well everything and somehow organize the lore as confusing as it is lol

@scul40928 Месяц назад

One bit of correction, Sonic doesn't live on South Island, he was born on Christmas Island, then when he was young, he decided to use his Biplane, the tornado, to travel the world. During one of the travels, before the events of Sonic 1, he encounters Eggman, and decides to pout a stop to his plans for world domination.

@TheMentok Месяц назад

Good point and I considered leaving that in but the Christmas Island thing being canon these days is questionable. But I agree I could have used better word choice than "lives".

I would have otherwise named it "The Entire Sonic Universe Explained in Under 10 Minutes" 😂 It was hard giving Blaze the cut since she's in my top 5 character list. I'm down to do this format again with the spinoff games/other plotlines I missed

@ghostspider2056 Месяц назад

@@TheMentok Fair enough, if it’s just the major ones than it’s understandable since some of the ones I mentioned were kind of spin-offs. If you do decide to redo with all of them, hopefully Mephiles’ involvement at least gets a mention.

@TheBobasbro Месяц назад

Having just learned there is a wholesome ending to the last game with Dr. Eggman learning the value of caring for someone and Sonic is able to focus on finding future personal growth. Dr. Eggman does deserve a War Crimes trial at the bare minimum tho, his crimes were global and near genocidal multiple times, but still, warms my heart to see that sick SOB liking the idea of being a Dad, not a Dictator.

Sonic 2 takes place before CD. Literally confirmed by Naoto Ohshima himself no matter what Origins and Ian Flynn claim. Also you mention 06 (even tho it’s really not suppose to be canon anymore but for some reason is treated as such) but not the Rush games (where Blaze is introduced into canon) or the Rivals games (which properly reintroduces Silver into the canon). Other than that, good video mate

How it started: Hehe stop egg boi. How it's going. *YOU STAND AGAINST THE END OF ALL THI--*

@alikhangg_tv 29 дней назад

I know you briefly meontioned Mania but I think it deserves something. And the Mania lore is straight on point: Sonic and Tails see that Eggman is doing something on the Angel Island after that they go there to stop him the Eggrobos with The Phantom Ruby take them into the past while the Eggrobos got personalities. Sonic and Tails beat Eggman and Eggrobos a bunch of times and in the end Eggrobos betray Eggman but the Ruby teleported Sonic to Sonic Forces. After Forces Classic goes back to Mania but Encore mode. Which is just a restart with Ray and Mighty. In the end everyone is just chilling and eating Ice cream. Oh, and Superstars. Eggman pays Fang the Hunter to get all the BIG animals while they encounter Trip. And Trip goes with them. Sonic, Tails and Amy see that Eggman is doing something and fly to the NorthStar Islands to stop him. Meanwhile Knuckles notices something is with the Master Emerald and it tells Knuckles to go to the Northstar Islands.Trip meets Amy they become *besties* then Fang wants to go in his mech but SUDDENLY Trip goes Super and BUSTS the thing. Then they go into space to destroy eggman's space base. They destroy it.

@alikhangg_tv 29 дней назад

The Trip's story: She lives on her island. Then there's Eggrobos and we go through the Campaign again. But at the end there's an egg that you can enter as Super Sonic and beat the Final Dragon. AND THIS IS WHERE WE GET TO THE GAME THEORY: This Dragon may be a Trip's relative. Oh and it was in the promotioal video for Superstars: The Trio of Trouble. BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY A GAME THEORY
