Character of the Week

Character of the Week
Every week i like to highlight a character just for fun.

This Week: Super Silver

So Silver has a super form too? ... Yup. really? mmm hmmm. sigh. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles did not have their Super forms until at least their second appearance. Then Shadow came along, and they are like "in case you don't like our new character yet, tada! Super Shadow"  then in '06 they are like, "well it worked for Shadow, lets do it with Silver too". Too many Hedgehogs trying to steal Sonic's thunder. Plus Silver has such a dorky voice. Apparently SEGA doesn't think much of Super Silver either since his artwork is about 90% recycled from Sonic Rivals 2. Oh well, don't worry Super Silver, we still like you more than Chris Thorndyk.Sonictoast 20:46, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Previous Weeks


 * Chao-Walker.png Chao Walker I always thought this Chao should be named Luke. Luke Chao Walker.  It has kind of an epic ring to it.  Ever wonder if the Chao Walkers will ever make a return?  He was a pretty cool unlock in SA2, but being a starter in SA2 Battle was like, c'mon this is lame.  Still, if there were a Chao walker action figure, I'd buy it.

 * Kiki.pngKikiYou know what is strange about Kiki? He is possibly the most re-occurring badnik in the whole series (Unless you count Metal Sonic as a Badnik).  Kiki was in Sonic Adventure then returned in Sonic Adventure 2.  Wow, he also was in some of the Sonic Advance games and then returns in the two Olympic Games titles.  He also had a card cameo in Sonic Rivals.  On top of all that, he was made into an action figure back when Sonic Adventure came out.  Think of all the characters who have never recieved action figures, Chaos, Omega, Blaze, Fang,Jet, Vector, Espio, etc. Yet we have one of Kiki.  Way to go Monkey friend.

 * Espio.png Espio the Chameleon Espio is for sure one of the cooler characters in the Sonic series. Just look at his name, "Espio", it is close enough to "Espionage" to give it meaning without being too on the nose.  Most the chaotix changed between Knuckles Chaotix and Sonic Heroes.  Charmy's age decreased, Mighty ceased to exist, and Vector buffed up.  Espio changed from being a Raphael type hot head to being a zen type Buddhist character.  That's cool, I guess in those 6 or 7 years after Sonic the Fighters he learned to keep his cool, while Vector hit the gym, Charmy found a fountian of youth and Mighty made himself disappear.  You notice the current Chaotix are now very similar to the aqua teen hunger force.  Vector - Master Shake (idiotic leader), Espio - Frylock (straight thinking, calm guy), Charmy - Meatwad (childlike sidekick).  Just something to think about.Sonictoast 04:33, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Erazor-Djinn.pngErazor DjinnQuite honestly, I found Erazor Djinn to be quite a refreshing new character. 1st off, he is a new bad guy that does not turn good at the end.  second, he does not die, he's just trapped in his lamp, meaning it can be canon to see him return in a spin off game or something, I'll bet he'd be great on a Sonic Baseball team.Sonictoast 18:39, January 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sega-Friends.pngSEGA Friends Seriously, have you ever seen a bigger bunch of rejects? These guys all seem to leach off Sonic for support and popularity, more so than even Shadow or Tails.  Especially NiGHTS and Billy Hatcher.  I think those two have appeared in more Sonic games than their own.  I'm not usually critical of SEGA, I honestly like all these characters, but there is something off here.  Nintendo has a number of great series - Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Star Fox, etc.  Each of these games stands strongly on its own two feet, so then it is super cool when they all come together for Smash Bros.  SEGA on the other hand has one great series - Sonic, then a bunch of okay series - Monkey Ball, Samba De Amigo, KNiGHTS, etc.  When SEGA does a cross over it is like, oh, another attempt to make the Sonic fans like the other SEGA characters and wanna buy their games.  Thats why the Mario & Sonic series is so great, because it is two popular, lovable games coming together.  Its win win rather than win lose because SEGA stuffed a pair of nasty zombies in your cool Sonic racing game.  Having all them SEGA secret characters in Sonic Riders and Sonic Riders zero Gravity was great, but honestly, I would have rather had Omega, Big or the Chaotix.

 * Omega.pngE-123 OmegaOmega's appearance in Olympic Winter Games was awesome. Why?  Because he was threatening, he was mean and he came off as a real bad guy.  I think Omega would be such a cool rival for Sonic.  He should team up with Robotnik and be his new right hand man.  Sonic couldn't touch butt-nick if he had Omega at his side at all times.  Omega is definitely under used.  In Chronicles and Shadow the hedgehog, Omega is just there, killing robots, playing no significant role in the stories.  He is one that they need to give a bigger arc and a new reason for existence. Sonictoast 06:35, December 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Professor-Pickles.pngProfessor Pickle The only thing I didn't like about Sonic Adventure is how it set the world in our modern day, human infested Earth. I prefer the SatAM/ Archie world where everyone is an animal, with maybe a few humans left over.  With that said, Sonic '06 had stupid, way too realistic humans.  I very much enjoyed the cartoonyness of the humans in Sonic Unleashed, and that is why I find professor Pickle to be such a refreshing character.  He is simlar to Professor Von Schlemmer from AoStH.  I loved that character and kind of wish they used him instead of making up professor Pickle, but oh well.  You can't have two wacky, genious professors, so I guess this is good bye to Professor Von Schlemmer.  Though I wouldn't be surprised if we never see Professor Pickle again either.Sonictoast 23:10, December 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Amy card happy.pngAmy RoseWho? Oh, Rosey the Rascal.  Isn't it funny how for years we called Peach, Princess Toadstool, then all of a sudden she is Peach and everyone is fine with that.  Amy was Rosey to me for so many years, then all of a sudden, Sonic Adventure says "no you idiot, her name is Amy", and I'm okay with it.  But I still won't call Robotnik, Eggman.  Did you know in the American Booklet for "Sonic CD", it says Amy's name is Princess Sally?  They did it to help promote SatAM in a weird round about way.  Kind of lame.  Why are there so many anti sonamy people?  I think i know the truth.  Amy ends up marrying Shadow in the future, not Sonic.  Why?  I believe Silver is a descendant of Amy.  Amy and Sonic both have Green eyes, so Silver would have green eyes too if he were their descendant.  But Silver's eyes are yellow, which makes me believe that he is a descendant of Shadow an Amy because her green eyes mixed with his red eyes should come out a nice yellow.  (I know that's not how genestics or colors really works, I'm just having fun.)Sonictoast 22:16, December 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Flickies.pngFlickyWasn't Flicky a great game? Honestly, I think it is one of my most played games on Sonic Mega Collection.  Sure was great to see our original Flicky character in the Background of Olympic Winter Games.  They should make Flicky a driver in Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing.  Seriously, I consider Flicky an All-star.  If only Sonic 3D Blast didn't stink so bad and make everyone hate flickies.  Sonictoast 15:38, December 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Silver.pngSilver the HedgehogSeriously, why does anyone like Silver? His voice is whiny and nerdy at the same time and he gives the series one too many hedgehogs.  Sonic was great, Amy was Kosher, Shadow was kind of pushing it, now Silver is too much.  There are thousands of animals on this planet, We've got enough Hedgehogs.  Sonictoast 21:11, November 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Cream.pngCream the RabbitI for one think Cream had a lot of potential that Sega simply didn't take advantage of when they had a chance. Cream slowly faded from a starting playable character, to a secret unlockable character, now to a lame referee or cameo in most games.  I blame a lot of Cream's downfall on her horrible voice.  If she sounded like a cute little kid, she'd be much more likable than sounding like an old lady trying to talk as high as she possibly can.  Archie hasn't bothered including her in the comics yet, which must be saying something because they introduce another character every issue.  in Sonic X she didn't really do anything, but sit around and watch TV.  She had that one fight with Emeril which was lame, it made Emeril seem like a piece of garbage, being defeated so easily by a little bunny girl.  Much like Rouge the Bat, I see Cream as a failed experiment who is bast her high point of popularity.  Watch out Blaze, You're next.Sonictoast 00:09, November 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Sonic card.pngSonic the hedgehogThat's right, old true blue himself is this week's highlighted character. Why Sonic so soon you say?  Simple, he's my favorite and this week is my birthday, so this is my birthday present to myself.  Sonic is a legend of our time.  A mascot beyond other mascots.  4 full cartoon series'.  What other character has 4 cartoon series'?  Spiderman (6), Scooby Doo (10+), but they have been around since the 60's.  They had a thirty year head start on old Olgilvie Maurice.   Sonic is cool, he is exciting, he is unique and he is also the likely inspiration for Crash bandicoot and all those other lousy animal protagonist video game characters.  But none of those rejects have been in the Macy's Day parade, received the honor of having a human gene named after them, and starred in a comic series that has produced a universe of over 300 issues and counting, running consistently for 16 years.  Sonic is one of the greatest anthropomorphic characters to have ever been created.  Long live the Hedgehog. Sonictoast 23:06, November 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Mighty.pngMighty the Armadillo:Admit it, you're glad Mighty didn't turn out to be SEGA's mascot. Great as he is, he can barely hold a candle to Sonic.  Nevertheless, we want our Mighty back!  Only appearing in 2 games both of which are now two of the most obscure Sonic games in history, we need some kind of Mighty fix (I've still got Knuckles' Chaotix, just can't find a working 32X to play it on.).  We can take pity on him because SEGA ditched him in Sonic Heroes, though we have to admit, Vector is a much more interesting power character.  But still, is there a chance he'll make a comeback?  Maybe in Sonic Rivals 3?  Sonic Battle 2?  Night of the Werehog 2:  Werehog meets Frankendillo?  Only time will tell. Sonictoast 13:36, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Chip card happy.pngChip: Is he the next Shadow? Introduced for Sonic Unleashed Chip left at the end, never meant to return.  This is similar to Shadow the hedgehog who died in SA2 and only came back because fans demanded it.  Do we love Chip after one game like we did Shadow?  Will Chip soon be seen blowing up aliens with bazookas and cursing when he dies in his very own game?  Only time will tell.


 * Vector.pngVector: Vector is one of those characters that make you so happy that SEGA revived them.  He adds great comical relief to the series and design wise - it is nice to have a character that is a completely different style once in a while (Wally Gator rather than Felix the cat).

My Needlemouse Badnik submission
For the Needlemouse badnik concept art community challenge, i decided to do Scratch from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. i didn't have a scanner on hand or anything, and it is too hard for me to draw with a mouse, so instead I combined a screenshot of scratch with bits and pieces of the motobug art, to give him an updated look.

My Featured user interview
Well, it's our first Featured Interview of the new year, so let's start the year off right! Firstly, Sonictoast had this to say about his victory:

"I am thrilled to be a featured user. I was blown away to see how many votes I received and I would like to thank everyone who voted for me this month. This is one of the most meaningful recognitions I have ever received (tear)."

Now, let's get this started!

1. Q) When did you join the SNN, and why?

A: I joined this past April. I collect artwork from Sonic Games, and when I stumbled upon this wiki, I noticed how much it was lacking in that category. When I noticed the Knuckles artwork gallery did not contain his original Sonic 3 artwork, I was shocked. It was then that I realized I could finally put my Sonic artwork collection to use, and from there on I have been dedicated to keeping this wiki up to date on Sonic Game artwork.

2. Q) You are best known for focusing almost entirely on pictures when it comes to contributions. Why do you focus so much on pics?

A: I knew this question would come up. I am a very visual person. I like to draw, sculpt, paint, make puppets and most of all Photoshop. I feel like pictures make a web page a lot more attractive and help bring the information on the page to life. Toast, a picture says a thousand words right?

3. Q) How do you feel about the Sonic franchise as a whole, and where it's headed?

A: I love the Sonic franchise. I've been playing Sonic from 1991 to present. Those silly game reviewers can kiss my toast. I loved Black Knight, Unleashed and Olympic Winter games. SEGA continues to produce creative new twists and gimmicks for Sonic that keep him interesting and I appreciate that. As for where it is headed? I think Sonic will continue to be a top rated mascot no matter what those angry reviewers say about him. Even if the next Sonic Game is as good as Mario Galaxy the reviewers will still tear him apart. The thing is, Sonic isn't aimed at the reviewers who fell in love with Sonic & Knuckles when they were 10. Sonic is aimed at today's kids and the reason is because kids love Sonic. I used to work as a camp counselor and every 6-9 year old boy I had, loved the hedgehog. My young cousins love the hedgehog. My Wife's younger brothers love the hedgehog. No matter what, the games will sell because Sonic is such a lovable character. So I don't think we have to worry about him disappearing. And honestly, I prefer the games being aimed towards kids, GTA is garbage. Shadow the Hedgehog was fun, but I can't play it with my family which is a bummer.

4. Q) What would you want to see most in a Sonic game?

A: An adventure cross-over game with Mario. I'm satisfied with Brawl and the Olympic series, but a full adventure game would be a real dream come true. On a separate note, I'd like the setting to be moved to an anthropomorphic animal inhabited mobius rather than a modern day human inhabited earth. I'd also like Eggman to go back to being called Robotnik. On a separate note, I'd like to see more Sonic Chronicles type stuff where the story is really aimed towards the fans with fun references to past games and media. I'd also like to see Tails turn to the dark side and join Robotnik as a result of the friendship they formed in Sonic Chronicles. That could result in some real drama between him and Sonic.

5. Q) What improvements do you think the SNN needs?

A: I'd love to do away with all the advertisements on the sides, but that's probably not possible.

6. Q) Which character would you most want to see get their very own game, or at least a prominent role in a Sonic game?

A: I'd like a Dr, Robotnik game (I am aware of Mean Bean Machine but that doesn't count). I wouldn't want it like the SA2 Robotnik levels, more like the Wile E. Coyote gameplay from the Road Runner game. I'd like a Robotnik game where you get to use all his machines to try and catch that pesky Hedgehog and a story where he pursues his love for Ella.

7. Q) If you could become a mobian, what species would you want to become?

A: I would say a dog, but Muttski can't talk or anything, so forget that. I guess a Crocodile like Vector. I have allergies in my ears, so not having ears would be a major plus to being a crocodile.

8. Q) Who's your favorite hero character? A: Old true blue himself, the priority one Hedgehog on all levels. I've slept with my Sonic Plushie everynight for the past 17 years, my wife has finally accepted that when she married me, she married the Hedgehog too.

9. Q) Fav villain character?

A: Dr. Robotnik. It seems all the other villains end up becoming good guys... or dying. Sometimes a bad guy should stay bad.

10. Q) Now finally: You are one of a select few users (in fact, the only one I know of) who became Featured Users and didn't have the rank of admin. How do you feel about that?

A: I'm okay with it. I would like to be an administrator, but I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up with the work load like you, Kagi, and Supermorff do.

Wow. Well, this has certainly been a revealing interview. I mean... you're married!? And you have kids!? I never woulda guessed. Well, I guess that goes to show you just how many people Sonic can affect.
