Talk:Sonic the Hedgehog

Quote
Whaddya think about changing Sonic's quote at the top of the page to 'Sonic's the Name, Speed's my Game!'?

Mascot
When I was in an elementary school in Puerto Rico in 1999, the school mascot was Sonic (the classic one with no green eyes). Can we post that up? User:Male Wavemaster Enzeru

Question
How do you write Japanese on the SNN? 207.74.196.20 18:40, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Just copy Japanese characters off Wikis and paste them where you need to. Keep in mind which characters you need to use and when. (ex. Katakana for character names) Enzeru 14:47, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

VANDALISM ALERT
What the heck??? The sonic the hedgehog character page is empty!(noticed: 2-13-09) It was just fine yesterday! SOMEONE needs to do something about this. I hope the WIKIA people can restore it. -Pissed off fan of Sonic

Idea for every character than just this one...
Insted of all the information from games, cartoons and comics all packed into one profile, what if each characters seperate roles in different medias and existances had there own personal articles and were listed in disambiguation when the search name comes up?

Also when people put a name in the search such simply as "sonic" they get the disambiguation list to help pinpoint exactly what they are looking for. This way it would be easier to collect the exact information one requires without checking through chapters of one page.

And so on with each character. this way it would collect alot more useful information of each characters in there respective existances.

 * I was thinking about this same thing the other day. What I was thinking was maybe, since there is so much content and technically, a lot of content (such as likes, dislikes and relationships) only applies to certain continuities.  Here's my solution: why don't we use the Sonic the Hedgehog article to show the history of the character in addition to a summary of the different continuities, each with a main article template that would link to pages such as the ones you are thinking of. Stumpers 00:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Like what they generally have in common as a breif and show where to go from there? Thats better than what I had in mind than ending up at a disambiguation crossroad.

 * Basically. Regardless of which storyline you follow, it's still the same Sega license, so I think we can expand on that more than we currently do.  Plus, then we don't have to worry about users attempting to define certain storylines as canon or non-canon (usually you see this arguement as something being canon to the games or not) because of a theory of theirs, as often happens on fictional Wikis. Stumpers 04:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. Sure some of us prefer to follow one plot than another, but all in all, if it has Sonic on it should be dealt with fairly. Just suggesting some conveniance methods so people won't have to look through a huge page or lots of pages for something. Thanks for Listening.

 * I'm glad you feel that way! I'm on another Wiki where there are certain things unproved to be separate from the video game continuity and they are shoved to the bottom of the character articles, and in them changes made are called inconsistencies with the video games and so on, even when it was released before a particular video game!  So, just FYI that's what I'm hoping doesn't happen here, but luckily we have more clearly defined boundaries with this series.  And, of course since we're catering to fans, we should try to cater to all fans, which is why I feel your idea is great: the fans that only are interested in the video game series can go to that page and not need to worry about something only being applicable to another continuity.  Win-win, IMO! Stumpers 21:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I think that it's a good idea.I would do it,but i only know how to create talk articles.I joined yesterday.4 tildes live and learn

Holli?
Ages back, when I had to go to my public library for internet, I checked up on Sonics "real" name as I once considerd that Sonic was just an alt name like Tails actual name is Miles Prower etc.

Now it was ages ago but I was looking through some sites and found an interview where Sonics before name or "Secret identidy" could be 'Holli'.

As it was ages back, I was naive and wasn't up to date with the Sonic fandom without internet so I got excited and grafted the name in my memory. Sure I may have stumbled onto a joke and wised up these days but still might as well do all for this place. Never saw that site again.

I dunno if Sonic was a regular hedgehog and wasn't always blue like in the European origin story but if anyones kind enough to help me authenticate, it would put abit off my mind as well. Thanks.

Mystic Monkey --86.128.33.12 02:26, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

PS. Talking about Sonic from the game series... and maybe StC if that the canon games do accept and share the same with Europeans view. I prefer to believe and stick with game reality than other.

I heard his full name was Oglivile Maurice hedgehog...Wow. Sounds worse than Mr. NeedleMouse.

Sonic's Height
In the old SatAM show, it was "about 3'4''" in the words of Sonic in the episode Sonic Conversion. Worthy of mention?

Acording to the Japanese instruction manuels,Sonicwas always on Earth.I edited the part that said he was on Mobius in the recent games.Liveandlearn 04:01, 12 July 2008 (UTC)liveandlearn

well sonic lives on the planet earth ,he always lived on earth.the word mobius was just used by naka by describing the loops or something and it was mistranslated for the home of sonic


 * Guys,Mobius=Sonic 1 and CD.Earth = Sonic 3>(forwards).Get it?SatAM was always in Mobius.Obvious.

Age
In the Japanese instruction manuel,Sonic is 10.Sonic 2 says 11.Age isn't mentioned until Sonic Jam,which says 15-16.Sonic Adventure 1&2 and Sonic Heroes say 15.Sonic Chronicles says 17.Since the majority say 15,his age will be listed as such.69.149.254.96 00:53, 26 July 2008 (UTC)liveandlearn,though not signed in right now.

Shouldn't we mention all those ages on the article and since Sonic Chronicles is the most recent we should probably set that as the default age for him. - User:Slayer25769.

Shouldn't you consider that Sonic can be aging, I mean as far as I know right now, Shadow is the only hedgehog that can't age... -- Shadow the Hedgehog  Befriend me... Or perish at my feet!  19:25, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Storyline
Shouldn't we write about Sonic's role in each game's storyline? This would allow to portray him more easily as a character? I'll wait for your answer. Leader Vladimir

Comic section
It's too long. We'd be better off simply making a new article with this information. Like Sonic the Hedgehog (comic character). The info was simply copied from The Archie Sonic Wiki, not that I'm judging. I have copied info from other articles to different wikis myself. Saves the hassle of having to look through all sorts. But seperating the comic section into an article would be a good idea. In fact, I think there should be articles for individual versions of character if they've got enough info.Fair field fencer F F F  16:49, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Are there any details on this Christmas Island place? What's more, is there anything on his backstory? I'm fourteen (15 20/06/09), so I haven't really played the early sidescrollers and 3D games.

Games.
Sonic has one of the longest pages in this Wikia, but his page doesn't really explain his part in some of the games, mainly after Sonic Adventure because most of his old games are "STOP EGGMAN" I think that We could move most of his conception stuff to another page and explain his roles in the games, comics, and tv shows, like most of his friends.

 * In general, we are trying to move information about the comics and TV shows into separate articles, like Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie), Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic the Comic), Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic X), etc. I don't feel that it would serve any purpose to separate out the conception stuff, but we should definitely have a new section on his role in the games.

Too Big!
Wholly Moly! I know I can be rude (and I know I have been, recently, so sorry), but how many pictures do we need!? In my opinion, I think the Gallery section could be scaled down a fair bit. I just don't think we need 10 pictures for what 3 or 4 could show. Just my opinion.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 16:46, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, but probably best not to trim too fast. Perhaps we should limit to two pictures per game or something? -- Supermorff 20:58, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, I said 3 or 4 because 2 seemed too small. Also, I didn't mean it literally. I'm just saying we should trim it down from 50 or something pictures to a smaller number, like 30.

 * Two pictures per game was actually my suggestion, because I don't think that's too small at all. If you want to try setting up galleries on separate pages, do a trial run first so that we can see what it will be like. Maybe just try for Sonic before applying to other characters, for example. -- Supermorff 21:02, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I have a problem with SonAmy fan(s)!
I have once written in Sonic's personality, "He is also well known for his brother-like friendship with Miles "Tails" Prower and his uninterested romantic relationship with Amy Rose."

But instead someone wrote "and the "will they or won't they" romantic relationship with Amy Rose".

I thought it was ridiculous to write in such a style, so then I wrote "his uninterested romantic relationship with Amy Rose" again.

Then that "Will they or won't they" thing showed up.

Then I wrote something like: He's not interested in having a girlfriend neither he really thought about it.

Then it was written "his ambiguous romantic relationship ith Amy Rose"

Then I typed "he is not interested in romantic relationships, especially with Amy."

I assume that SONIC DOESN'T LIKE AMY, because he has never shown any interest in her in any media, right? And besides if he does, I think it would be more appropriate to type that he is uninterested in her, because in all media it is always like this:

Sonic:Uh-oh (runs)
 * 1.(Amy is coming)

Sonic: Ah!...Amy!? (runs away)
 * 2. Amy: Sooonnniiicccc!

Tails: Amy's coming Sonic! Sonic: Uh-oh! Better hide!
 * 3. In Sonic Battle:

Amy: Hey Sonic! Sonic:Oh, *puts his eyelids down*...Amy... Sonic:Don't tell me you joined in too!? Amy: It looked so exciting! Why wouldn't I join? And besides I'll be keeping my eyes on you! (comes closer and winks at him) Sonic:...Ewwhh...(disgusted)
 * 4. In Sonic Riders:

Sonic:Amy? What are you doing here? Amy:Fated lovers are akways drawn together, silly. (winks) Sonic:(embarrased or disgusted) *mumbles* ...Amy...
 * 5.Sonic Riders:Zero Gravity:

(Amy hugs him) Sonic:AGKH! Lemme go!
 * 6.Sonic Unleashed:

There is more. But doesn't this mean he is uninterested? Every Sonic fan knows that he is uninterested in Amy when it comes to romance. It is shown in every media. He doesn't like romance, it is even clearly mentioned in Sonic Central that he is uninterested in romance, especially with Amy.

Am I right?-- 58SlugDrones! 'I WILL SHOOT YOU INTO AN OBLIVION!'  09:40, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, but there has also been evidence that shows he may like her. You've only mentioned the evidence against it, not the evidence for it. I think that those SonAmy fans are actually being reasonable, in that while they could say that Sonic likes Amy, they instead say "Will they or won't they" or "Ambiguous relationship", meaning that Sonic may like her, he may not. I'm a SonAmy fan admittedly, and as far as the relationship thing goes, they are actually being reasonable, compared how to some Users and IPs have acted on the whole Knuxouge vs Shadouge thing.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 14:10, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

....!....*sigh* Well, there is so romantic relation in the series except this:


 * 1. Amy likes Sonic


 * 2. Rouge likes Knuckles

And anyways, none of the games have shown that Sonic is interested...tch..kuh..okay maybe it is hinted (I haven't noticed any hints) but most of the times (and almost in EVERY game) he is uninterested in her, he always tries to get away from her, and he has never gotten near for trying to confess or hinting that he has feelings for her. And why would Sonic hide his feelings like that?

Right?

And besides in Sonic Central, it is mentioned that he is uninterested in romantic relationships because he doesn't have the time, and in Sonic Riders proves that he thinks it's disgusting (like me!). And Yuji Naka did say that Sonic will never get married (this also proves that Sonic doesn't like romance like me!)-- 58SlugDrones! 'I WILL SHOOT YOU INTO AN OBLIVION!'  12:31, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Alright, Sonic Riders never showed that Sonic is disgusted by Amy, albeit just bothered a little by her constant pursuit of him. Also, there was that official Q&A that said that Sonic is indeed interested in Amy, he just can't admit it. Also, I've noticed a few hints, not all of them conclusive of romance, but do prove that he does indeed care about Amy.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 14:39, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, he was disgusted by Amy, see that cutscene where they are in that forest-like place, when Amy winks at him, Sonic seems to hesitate or feel bothered because she said,"And besides I'll be keeping my eye on you." just see his face expressions, he seems to freak out. He did the same in SRZG, when she winked at him, he was embarrased.

And, so what? Doesn't Sonic care about all of his friends? See how nice and caring he is to Shahra in SATSR. Nobody ever said about Sonic loving Shahra because they are just good friends. So that's the same with Sonic and Amy.

Isn't it true, that he is not interested in Amy, he always tries to get away from her, especially when she's mad. Even if he does like her, he is still not interested to confess it to her. And besides, that's what Amy was meant to do, chase after him, trying to win his heart but she can't and never will...well that's what Yuji Naka said. Although Sonic finds Amy annoying, but he still takes her as a friend.

SEGA will never give Sonic a relation in canon series (aka videogames).-- 58SlugDrones! 'I WILL SHOOT YOU INTO AN OBLIVION!'  01:03, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Alright: 1: He is not disgusted by Amy, he has never been disgusted by her, only annoyed with her or embarrassed by her. There is a BIG difference between those words. 2: He is indeed interested in Amy. 3: You've just proven my point! Sonic and Amy's feelings are mutual (though differing in strength of those feelings), but whether or not they will ever have a relationship is the big question. It's been a huge debate that even the Sonic Team have taken notice of. So, that's why fans put "ambiguous" or "will they or won't they", because fans know they both like each other, they just don't know if anything will come of that relationship. So, now do you get my point?--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 01:21, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Listen. He doesn't, he has no feelings for her. He thinks she's a pain in the neck. He doesn't want her love. He doesn't want to return his feelings..why? Because he doesn't like her! He gets annoyed by her, because he doesn't want her to get all romantic because he doesn't like her back.

Yuji Naka said that they'll never get a chance to get married, it's more like an Amy-style to always chase Sonic...why? Because he doesn't like her. They'll never get married because Amy will never win Sonic's heart.

He freaks out due to her arrival, doesn't that mean that he is uninterested? He is always not interested in her, weants to escape from her.

Maybe he likes her, maybe it's his secret, maybe he likes someone else, maybe he cares for her (ofcourse he does!) but he is uninterested in her.-- 58SlugDrones! 'I WILL SHOOT YOU INTO AN OBLIVION!'  05:22, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

You know what 58, this is starting to sound more like your personal opinion on the subject. Yes, Sonic and Amy will most likely never tie the knot, and that makes a lot of sense. However, that last sentence you said, one again, proves my point. Their relationship is not concretely known! So, that's why fans put "will they or won't they" or "ambiguous"; because no one knows how Sonic feels about Amy for sure! I could be right, you could be right, but we don't know!--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 04:36, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

...!....but...umm...I did agree with you, maybe he might (BUT I STILL THINK HE DOESN'T) I am taking your point of you, I'm not saying that he completely doesn't like her it can be possible (BUT I STILL THINK HE DOESN'T).

All I'm saying that he isn't interested, not that he doesn't like her (FOR ME, HE DOESN'T. Half of it I'm saying that he might but on the whole I'm saying that he isn't interested.

Thanks for calling me 58, I miss that nickname, no one calls me that anymore. You made think of those goods old times when I used to play evil on this website and everyone went against me *sigh* (I'm so emo!). Yup good times! I really put some effort those days.-- 58SlugDrones! 'I WILL SHOOT YOU INTO AN OBLIVION!'  13:56, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I've decided to conclude this debate by posting a link to the interview by Sonic Team where it is confirmed that Sonic indeeds has feelings for Amy beyond friendship. It is no longer a subjective topic so 58SlugDrones, quit rewriting the Amy Section with out-of-context accounts of Sonic and Amy's interaction with one another. These articles are supposed to be a resource of fact and verification, not for you to interject your selective reasoning and personal opinion. Save that for the Sonic fansites.

YOU IDIOT!!! You've invoked the wrath of 58! I'm all for the cause, and yes, the site you linked to has some interesting and convincing points, but 58 already thinks that interview is fake, so you're efforts are futile!!!

(Character)
I noticed something. You see, Sonic and Shadow both have a game that uses their full names, but I noticed that the Shadow the Hedgehog article isn't called "Shadow the Hedgehog (Character)". So uh, why exactly did we do that?--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 16:27, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Launch, I've changed Sonic the Hedgehog back so it redirects to the character page. This is a pragmatic issue, because far more articles that link to Sonic the Hedgehog are actually referring to the character. -- Supermorff 17:29, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, I'm also moving the Shadow articles back the way they were. This is because a dedicated disambiguation page is unnecessary, since the only two things that "Shadow the Hedgehog" may refer to are the character and the game - all that is needed is a disambiguation line of text at the top of the page, linking to the game, which we already have. -- Supermorff 17:38, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Backstory
Um, has anyone else noticed that we know absolutely nothing about Sonic's backstory? I mean really, all we know is that he was born on Christmas Island, met Eggman at some point, decided to try and stop Eggman, and that's it. We don't know who Sonic's family is, how Sonic got his superspeed, any of that stuff. Now that I think about it, it's actually the same for every character, except a select few. Does anyone else think that makes for some decent trivia?--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 20:41, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't see the point in saying that we don't know something. There are a lot of things we don't know. Let's focus on what we do know. Besides, as you said, a lot of other characters are the same, so it's not even as if we should expect to know. -- Supermorff 20:59, October 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * Simple as pie my good friand, simply read the comics to find all the info you need, glad this worked out.


 * To Supermorff: Well, it's just that with all of the latest characters (exluding Silver and to a lesser extent, Blaze), there whole life is laid out for us in their debuting game, and Shadow has had his entire life explained, while with some of the first characters, like Tails, Amy, Knuckles, and Sonic himself, all we know is their history from their first game onwards, and nothing before that.
 * To ???: Uh, dude, that's for the comic continuity only, which is not canon to the game continuity, which is what I am talking about.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 22:12, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Many of the things you mentioned (family, how they got super powers, how they met their nemesis) have not been revealed for Silver or Blaze either. But in any case, this simply amounts to: we know more about some characters than other characters. I don't see how that is notable. -- Supermorff 18:41, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Well, it's just something I noticed that bugs me a little. I already took note of the fact that Silver and Blaze are exceptions, but some of these characters that have been around for only a few years, if that, have their whole story laid out, while the characters who started this franchise have nothing said about their past. I mean, how did Sonic get his superspeed? Why does Tails have his two tails? When did Knuckles become Guardian of the Master Emerald? How did Amy get the Piko Piko Hammer? What's more, who are their parents, where are they, and what happened to them? These are just a few questions that have come to my mind.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 19:02, October 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * And yet, the answers to those questions don't have any impact on the characters as they are now. From a storytelling perspective, there is no real reason to give any backstory about these now-iconic characters. However, if you do want answers, then the best bet (as ??? says, above) is to pick some other continuity and go with what they say. -- Supermorff 19:11, October 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * To Kagimizu: From your question about Sonic's speed, the American manual of Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit) says his sneakers give him super speed, and in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, his sneakers still give him super speed. But in the newer adventures, it doesn't say how he has super speed. My guess is he was born with it. -- Unregistered Contributor.

Gallery
I've been hearing that one of the new 'rules' is that each article can only contain a maximum of 10 pictures per gallery, so that they don't overflow. But here's an idea: why not, instead of 10 pics, have one picture from each game in the gallery? It wouldn't be too many pics, and it would really balance out that section. -- Shelly   the  Hedgehog  03:02, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Well, I wouldn't mind that personally, so long as people add any other pics to the /Artwork subpage, because that's what the thing is for!--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 03:12, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Detailed Story description?
I made an edit explaining in far greater detail Sonic's role in Sonic Adventure. Now, I'm not saying that the decision to undo the edit was a bad one. I just personally think the edit was a step up from how it was before. I think if we are gonna talk about the character, we should cover ALL the details, that includes his role in each game in detail.

Now, I know that my telling of his role was probably a bit wonky and inaccurate --after all, I myself don't like Sonic Adventure a lot-- but, that's where the rest of the community should come into play, altering the thing till it's really as accurate as possible -- after all, isn't that what this wiki is dedicated to, "becoming the ultimate source for all things Sonic"

I myself am registered, but I cannot edit this character, so, it's not "only locked to unregistered users". So, there is a problem. User-697. Nothing less. Maybe more. 21:16, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

I had protected it merely because parts, or should I say, "chunks", were being taken out of Sonic's article, namely in the "love life" section.

sonic's age
sonic is 18 years old--alex t hedgehog76.111.246.172 23:55, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

No, he's not. The official Sonic Channel profile page lists Sonic's age as 15 in-universe. Herman2000 03:49, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

He was 10 in the first game, 11 in Sonic CD (based on Amy who was 8 in that game, but 12 from Sonic Adventure onwards), 14 in Sonic 3 (based on Knuckles who was 15 in that game) and 15 from Sonic Adventure onwards. --Vae Infectus 16:39, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure extrapolating from the ages of other characters is appropriate. -- Supermorff 17:48, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Sonic is and has always been 15 (or 16). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/FoxPrower/Sonic%20The%20Hedgehog/bio.png and in AoStH Robotnik called him a "teenager". (A. Friend)

The Gloves
Is there any source that states why Sonic characters wear gloves other than for just character design.


 * All the main characters of the series have gloves, is a sort of "normal hand" of them, nothing really that worth to bother with. BGMaxie (talk)

whats up with sonic's speed???
every time i look at sonic's face i think about speed. hmm--i wonder he's so addicted to speed *ZOOM*  Jet  the Hedgehog bye-bye

It's actually quite simple. When he was young, he LOVED to run. By the time he was ten, he could already run as faster as a jet, so Uncle Chuck created the sneakers Sonic wears as they're the only ones that burn up or wear down from the great friction when Sonic runs. He was also very impatient, still is too. Sonic & Scrab  Master


 * Of course, the above explanation is only canon to the SatAM cartoon and/or the Archie comics. It was never stated why Sonic, in the games, likes to run as much and as fast as he does. Herman2000 01:24, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

58SlugDrones!'s recent edit
I do not see a SINGLE reason why MAJOR edits are so DISCOURAGED around here AGAIN, and to be honest, the way this one admin, Kagimizu, is handling it just doesn't add any positive light on the matter, either. Why discourage a perfectly fine edit like that? It doesn't make a shred of sense to discriminate an edit simply for it's length. As long as it's factual and doesn't destroy the article, it should be fine! Besides... didn't Fairfieldfencer say something about this being okay actually when I complained about that very same discrimination? --Herman2000 00:20, May 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Kagimizu has a habit of reverting edits without considering their benefit. Edit seemed fine to me. -- Supermorff 08:34, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Firstly, Herman; you have a problem with the way I do things, have the guts to say it to my face. Secondly, I am confused about this edit, but for one reason only: I could swear that Sonic's article already had such details on his relationships with other characters.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round ~ 18:07, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, it didn't have any such content last time I checked, and you seemed pretty unsure in your reply there about whether that existed or not, which just goes to show that your one problem (which in turn is the problem that I do have with the way you do things) seems to be big edits. Adding large, detailed descriptions is discouraged by you under the pretense that it has do be discussed by the administration, which never, or very slowly, happens, and frankly, that's discouraging one from contributing at all.

Friendships
Throughout the years Sonic has made many friends and allies, even those that has not been in his friendship roster. Just like Mario from Nintendo, Sonic has made many friends from other Sega, well mostly characters created by Sonic Team. Characters which includes Amigo, NiGHTS, Billy Hatcher etc. Another thing is that Sonic has appeared in other games such as Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams, Sonic's very first true 3D appearance, and Samba De Amigo Wii. Don't you think you should put this info on Sonic's bio/info?

Sonic can run on Water...?
Is it already put down or should we add that in the Sonic X comics, Sonic can run on top of water, same as in Sonic Unleashed. However, in the TV Sonic X, he can't. Just wondering if we should put that down. Sacorguy79 11:38, August 12, 2010 (UTC)Sacorguy79
