/fast/ - Sonic the Hedgehog

>Sonic the Hedgehog's Gameworld

Okay this is the one Sonic game I have no knowledge of, what is this?

I always assumed each dozen or so of these games take place in their own Prime Dimensions (helps iron out the inconsistencies).

Example:

-Classic dimension (obvious which games)

-MS/GG dimension (likewise)

-Arcade Dimension (Trackball/Sonic Fighters/Jam/R/Shuffle (8 Chaos Emeralds is the first clue))

-Adventure/Advanced dimension (Rush, Battle and Chronicles also count)

-Sonic '06 (the fork-in-the-road ret-con of the Adventure universe, which morphs into the Nu dimension (like New 52, only less hated)).

-Nu Dimension (Unleashed and onwards).

…

I'd like to think Forces took place in it's own dimension because of a concerning lack of humans compared to the previous games.

I'm not counting games like Spinball and Mean Bean Machine because they're already based on an established separate continuity.

I'm not sure if TSR even is cannon. In my opinion, the Sega All-Stars franchise and Olympic Games fall under the same spectrum as games like Tekken Tag Tournament (Fantasy Battles taking place in their own little walled-up world just for the hell of it).

P.S. The Storybook Wii games count as established sub-dimensions.

Pretty much most Sonics from Most Dimensions probably already read those books and had their little Neverending Stories. Only real difference would be what happens after they wake up.

I still think it's both stupid, and inconsistent.

It wasn't even clued in until some SEGA executive tweeted about it or something. I say it's about as believable/canon as Penders tweeting about wanting that Skunk to be Sally's first time.

Honestly, it feels more like an excuse so they don't have to care where a Sonic Game takes place (especially a plot-hole-ridden mess like Forces). A concept about One Planet where a minority of Animal People are segregated for whatever racist reason is already good enough. But hey, Archie already somehow did it with their post-war societal recovery undertones in the comics.

Any questions?

I like to pretend Forces isn't canon because the story was so awful and the characterization was abysmal on plenty of characters.

Agreed…

It just doesn't feel like a Sonic Game. Even a rip-off like Lost World feels more valuable than that cash-grab. As broken as '06 was, it was at the very least not planned to be a rush job (kind of like Driv3r). Forces is just an insult to what SEGA really thinks we expect of them.

The biggest hole (in my opinion) was that Sonic spent 6 months imprisoned on that Egg, and both him and his brain are literally still in one piece. You'd think the Doc would take this chance to earn some pleasure (especially if he knows what waterboarding is).

It's one of the most pointless time-jumps in any piece of media I've ever came across. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Speaking of losing minds, why are they forgetting that it's not all about Sonic? (reminds me of this classic short)

I wonder why they cut out those lines of dialogue about Infinite impersonating Rouge and Omega in Shadow's episode. The japanese version I heard makes a few alterations like no "TBs of selfies" joke or Silver's odd line about "optimist but also a realist" being worded better.

Like I said, Rush Job.

Damn, I never thought about it like this.
