I’ve been wondering about where Sonic was born, Christmas Island.
Sonic himself said it a strange place compared to anywhere else in the world. But in what way did he mean by “strange”? What is this place really like, why haven’t we seen it, and have nobody ever goes there? Well, I guess I’ll have to came up with my own theories.
The island is based off of a real-life nuclear test site. But instead of nuclear radiation, maybe the island has high-levels of an energy that somewhat in Sonic’s world. Chaos Emerald. It could‘ve been the birthplace of the Master Emerald as well. Just burst out of a volcano, far away from the island. Anyway, the levels of chaos energies are so high, even the law of physics there are out of wack. As for it being “strange”, I’d imagine it as Mobius from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon.
Sonic was born as one of the creatures on that weird place. A normal person would have gone insane living in a place like that. But for Sonic, he got really bored. He must’ve been one of those rare natives that just wanted to leave. Sonic has no restraints because he was just crazy. Insanity can be another form of freedom.
Christmas Island might have some connection with Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik at one time. He could have been there for research in his rise to taking over the world. Maybe going insane as well as part of the process. He may of had some unintended part in Sonic getting off that island, leading to their very first encounter. Might explain a few features of Eggman Land too.
I even once had the idea of the characters of Satam being Sonic’s childhood friends being born there too.
Somebody should make this canon.
