Not to mention, Sonic was able to stand still, completely unmoving, with the black hole nearby. If that were a real black hole, Sonic would have vanished into the void, which means what we saw wasn't even a black hole. So Colors doesn't prove ftl travel.

The Emerl fight also doesn't prove anything (other than that Battle was a poorly written game). We all know there were plotholes in the game and poor storytelling. There's also the obvious fact that the Emerl fight doesn't take 30 seconds. I sure spent a few minutes trying to beat him and the fastest recorded fight I've seen took around 40-50 seconds (and he didn't show the full fight). I also don't understand how Sonic ever won that fight being ridiculously outmatched but that's a rant for another time.

So both points are mute. Seriously though, are you guys aware of how fast light is? The game would be over in no time if Sonic was faster than light. Before you say "he just doesn't want to go that fast," Sonic is all about speed. If he could reach faster than light speed he would do it all the time. Not to mention, all the many instances where going that fast would've been helpful.

Instances where FTL travel would've been helpful: 1. When Tails is attack by Cubot in a crab body (Lost World)

2. When Tails was trapped by the fake animal pod (Lost World)

3. When Amy was being held at gun point by Eggman (Adventure 2)

4. When Sonic tried to chase after Metal Sonic who kidnapped Amy (CD)

5. During the race against Metal Sonic (CD)

6. When Elise was moment away from crashing (2006)

7. When Sonic tried to escape with Elise from Eggman (2006)

8. Every time sensitive stage.

If he really could be that fast, don't you think he'd do it any of those times? Not only that but the speed of sound was more then enough for all those instances....Sonic has no need to save elise at FTL speed. Thats exactly what I agree with. The speed of sound is more than enough in those situations
