I was going to play one game at a time and seperately review them but because in Rise of Lyric I can only carry up to 100 rings, the only way I could carry more rings is if I wireless connect the games. For certain I can now carry more rings, but only so much. If i want more of an allowance on my rings I need to make more progress in Shattered Crystal. While I admit it is a clever way to encourage gameplay, I just hate it when games pressure you to buy more games. (An example is Bravely Default, I don't care how wonderful the game is the fact it constantly sells out to you in order to benefit from most of it's features is why I dont like it that much.)

I've only played the tutorial level but what I've learned so far is-
 * Both games involve the first meeting of Lyric, however both stories throughout the game are different. Perhaps over time the cartoon will shed more light on which game is more canon.
 * I haven't completed SB:RoL yet so for all I know some paradox may explain the logic between both games. (I doubt it.)
 * Gameplay controls are different. I wouldn't say more like original Sonic games, but still platform based. For Sonic and I'm guessing the major of the characters, standard combat like in RoL has been replaced as Sonic can boost, spin-dash and a cool ariel stomp-dash thing in the air.
 * While the game world does not state to be Bygone Island, the game starts not too far from the heroes homes as seen in the cartoon. (From the cartoon I've thought Sonic and Tails were roommates or that Tails permit Sonic to live with him as his workshop is nearby. Figures the games set things clear to me.)

I guess since Sonic Boon cartoon and Shattered Crystal doesn't exactly confirm the island to be called Bygone, I don't know if Bygone Island article will need to just concentrate on Rise of Lyric content while the heroes homes need a seperate article or not. Personally would prefer if we do not, but I guess the island of Team Sonic's homes could be off shore of Bygone Island.

I guess I'll need to play more Shattered Crystal in order to make more sense of the geography in the Boomiverse.
