Not only does it swallow light, but you'd be swallowed up in less than a second. If Sonic tried outrunning a real black hole, we'd never see the results. I feel like it w asn't reall fully effective yet lol.

'''What the AF? It's a video game. What do you eman see the results? You think the screen's gonna get sucked in too?

If it wasn't fully in effect, then it can't be used as proof for Sonic being able to run faster than light.

Black holes have a gravitational force powerful enough to suck in light, if Sonic were near one, we wouldn't see him, but I get your point. Still, following the idea of a black hole, if Sonic wasn't fast enough, he'd be gone in the blink of an eye. If he is fast enough, we'd see him escaping the event horizon and nothing more. If the developers create a realistic black hole that Sonic escapes from, I'll count that as proof of Sonic's light speed. That very well could have been the event horizon. We don't know if he was moving much faster but us, as the observers, saw it as a 35 second mach speed section. Unfortunately, there were no signs of redshift, but, that would make the game unplayable, wouldn't it?
