Oh! Oh! I know! I know! How about a Silver the Hedgehog game??? Here, get a load 'a this:



Characters:

Silver, of course, would be the main character, with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy serving as supporting protagonists. A new character could serve as the main villain of the game. Doctor Eggman would also appear in some capacity (how can he not?), as would his robot lackeys, Orbot and Cubot.

Overview:

In the game, Silver's time era comes under threat from an evil force that transports him to Sonic's time. Silver must team up with Sonic and company to find a way back to the future. Of course, the only things in the Sonic franchise with the power to do that are the Chaos Emeralds---all of which would be hidden at the end of 7 different "worlds". Each world would have 6 main acts, plus a 7th act which features that world's boss fight. Also, each world/level MUST be both awesome in music and breathtaking in design (y'know, like the levels in Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors are). The 8th world would be the final world; word of note, said world CANNOT be a lava-themed level like the 8th worlds in the Mario games often are (Sonic Lost World has already been there and done that, and Silver's time was already depicted as lava-themed in Sonic '06).

Story: The game's storyline begins with Silver's time being threatened by a new evil force, led by the new main villain; to get rid of him, he is sent back in time to Sonic's time; at the time he arrives, Sonic and Tails are busy fighting Eggman (as usual). In a scenario similar to the part in Star Fox Assault where Andrew Oikonny gets his ass kicked by the Aparoids, Eggman summarily gets his ass kicked by a monster sent back in time to kill Silver (in case he survived the time-warp thing). Silver and Sonic defeat the monster, after which the former teams up with the latter and Tails (it's time Sonic and Silver were actually friends for once when on a mission together). During the adventure, they encounter, and are aided by in some capacity, Knuckles and Amy. At some point in the game, we get the usual big plot twist: Silver is revealed to be Sonic's descendent. As this makes them related, the main villain of the game---the leader of the forces threatening Silver's world---tries to eliminate Sonic at the game's climax with the intention of to erasing both him and Silver from existence. In the final showdown, while the other heroes are rendered helpless in some way (like they were in the finale of Shadow the Hedgehog), Silver turns into Super Silver using the power of the Chaos Emeralds and saves the day. With both their worlds saved once again, Silver says goodbye to Sonic and co. and vice-versa. After the credits roll, players are treated to a funny post-credits scene featuring Eggman, Orbot, and Cubot.

Gameplay: The game would involve focus on Silver's telekinesis powers. Aside from grabbing and throwing stuff with his mind, Silver can use his powers to fly. However, his powers would be limited, which would be indicated by a meter on the game screen. If this meter runs out, Silver would be temporarily unable to use his powers (pray that doesn't happen over a bottomless pit, or you'll fall to your doom); not to worry---the meter self-replenishes after a few seconds. In addition to the main story, I also imagine there being a multiplayer mode, in which players can participate in mini-games featuring Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and/or Amy; players can even be given the option to play as these characters, as well as Silver.

Music:

For music, I imagine the game having kind of a balance of orchestral and rock music; the main musical theme, as well as the end credits theme, would be a version of the LB vs. JS version of "Dreams of an Absolution" (Silver's theme from Sonic '06).

Platforms:

Silver the Hedgehog would be playable primarily on console platforms, such as the Wii-U, PS4, and Xbox One; handheld versions are also a possibility, but I think the console versions would work out better.



So, what do you think???
