FAQs of Sonic I'm tired of.

Alright listen I'm sorry I was being crazy the other week... I enjoyed calling him Jim. But obviously calling him Jim is gonna get me banned again, so obviously (now officially being scared of the admins), I'm going to start calling him what he thinks his name is... That's right... 'Sonic'.

Anyways, that's not the main point of this blog. At MarioWiki, I posted a blog post similar to this about FAQs of Mario I'm tired of. So, I decided to do the same here. Although most of you probably already know the answer to all these questions, hopefully (and this is like a 1 in a million chance) someone else will find this if they aren't as smart about Sonic and need answers, because I'm tired of being asked these questions over and over again. Update as of August 18th: Amazingly, this blog has become not just popular on this site, but surprisingly, it has become one of the top results on Google if you look up "faqs of sonic." Just look! It is the sixth to being the top result on Google. I like that.

Check out my MarioWiki FAQs on this wiki and you can comment here if you would like.

Please excuse me if I start sounding rude.

Will Sonic and Amy Rose ever marry?

Heck no. The whole fun of Sonic and Amy is that Sonic is always trying to get away from Amy, and Amy, who we all know is in love with Sonic, chases after him. It's fun to watch Sonic get away from Amy (except for the huge "SonAmy" fans who obviously want them to marry), and that's tradition when it comes to Sonic, so don't expect Amy and Sonic to marry ever. Sorry SonAmy fans, in your dreams.

Why do so many people hate Sonic '06?

The biggest reason is because the game is probably king of glitches, having more glitches than almost any other game I've seen. The other great reason why it is hated by so many people (like me), is because the whole idea of a human kissing a hedgehog is just stupid. I'm sorry, but it is. The rest of the story is actually not too bad, though, and if glitches weren't everywhere, then I actually might have considered buying and playing the game.

Sonic copies so many other games. Sonic Unleashed copied Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for example. Why?

Ok, listen dude. That is a lame question. Sonic does not copy other games. The closest I think a Sonic game has gotten to being a rip-off of like Call of Duty or something (or a mild version of Resident Evil) would be Shadow the Hedgehog (which I hate). Sonic Unleashed was not a rip-off or a copying of Twilight Princess. The only reason you say that is because he turns into a Werewolf (or Werehog as many say), and the controls are somewhat similar, using Wii Remote and Nunchuk as default controls (though other controller types can be used). The Wii Remote and Nunchuk idea was a much better idea than the controls for Sonic and the Secret Rings (on my list for crappiest games ever made). So, without anymore to say about this, Sonic does not copy other games.

How about this answer?

Why is the Sonic series so much like the Dragon Ball series?

People say Dragon Ball Z and Sonic are alike more because of the "Super SAIYAN" stuff. Plus a girl name Chi Chi stalk Goku alot. Of course, like Amy does to Sonic-San. And that there are 7 Chaos Emeralds and 7 Dragon Balls, and when both of the heroes, a bit of their body (sometimes all) turns gold when they transform.

To top it all off, Yuji Naka is/was a DBZ fan.

Why do people keep complaining every time SEGA gets new voice actors?

Well, people really enjoyed Ryan Drummond. His voice was accurate for Sonic, and he delivered his lines quite well. Now, when Jason Anthony Griffith came in, people were sort of disappointed because most everyone loved Ryan's voice, considering the fact it was the first voice for Sonic. So when Jason came in, many didn't know what to think. I mean, if Jason was the first voice actor, they probably would've enjoy him, and they might have been disappointed with Ryan if Ryan came next. Jason's voice for Sonic wasn't that bad really. Many people's only issue with it was that they said "He tried too hard to voice Sonic." I thought his voice for Shadow was great and not too much different than the previous voice actor (Wasn't it like David or something?... I'm already forgetting). As for Jason voicing Jet, Jet sort of came out as annoying to me, but his voice sounded accurate for his character (lol Jet is annoying to me all together). Now, when Roger Craig Smith came in and voiced Sonic, I didn't like it (and not many others did either), because his voice was too deep, and Sonic sounded like he was 30, not 15 (which is his true age in the games). Like Genesjs had said earlier, I'll have to wait to see if he improves. Also, it might just end up growing on me (probably will). As for other voices in the series, the only one I've ever had true complaints with is Tails. The newer voice actors he gets, the girlier he sounds.

Why do people think that games after Sonic Heroes are crap?

Well, I actually seem to be one of those people. You see, Sonic Hereos (or Shadow the Hedgehog [game]) was the last game to be considered non-modern (yet it really isn't Dreamcast era either, so many just call it a Modern Sonic game anyways) Sonic game. It was also, at least by my opinion, Sonic's last great game. Now, with Sonic Generations releasing, it looks like that may be the first really good game (and again, this is my opinion, please no debating over this) in 7 years. You see, as for many people like me, Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic '06 were the games that "blew it" for Sonic. They were just horrible (again, my opinion). So that's when lots of people started considering themselves either Classic Sonic fans, or Modern Sonic fans. I am a Classic Sonic supporter, but I do enjoy the games of Sonic Adventure through Sonic Heroes. Sonic Unleashed by my opinion was actually not horrible, but they could've done better. But many people are just really disappointed with Sonic nowadays, after Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic '06 released. Now, some may enjoy the game. I've already had this debate a little earlier, and I'm not gonna have it again. But the supporters for Classic Sonic games do not really like these games. Please note that there are not only Modern Sonic fans and Classic Sonic fans. There are also the fans who just love Sonic all together, and I wish I could be one of those people. But the type of Sonic game I've been waiting for hasn't arrived until this year (Sonic Generations), yet I still don't know how it will turn out.

How does Dr. Robotnik not get a blood clot? I've never seen him run in any other game except for Sonic 1!

Heh, well that's actually funny. Dr. Robotnik is actually seen many times out of any of his robots he rides in. Take Sonic Adventure 2 for example. Although he's never out of his robot in the story gameplay, he runs around in Chao World. Another example would Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series, where he is never in his robot. If you want Eggman in an Olympic/athletic game as a playable character, you aren't going to see him in a robot. That's not athletic lol.

Why was Sonic based on Mario?

The Similarities to Mario - Gameplay-wise

I read on an issue of Nintendo Power , an article on what various employees of game companies (SEGA, Nintendo, Capcom, etc.) had to say about Super Mario Bros. (the first one, as it was Mario's 25th anniversary) and saw an entry by Yuji Naka. He said that he enjoyed the game, but always wanted to get past World 1-1 as fast as possible. He stated that this ended up becoming a concept to be implemented in Sonic the Hedgehog.

Sonic the Hedgehog was then made to be Mario's competitor. As a result, he had to primarily be a Platformer, but as time went by, Sonic did other things, too. Just as Mario had.

Sonic's Rings are, predictably, based on Mario's Coins.

This is the core of Sonic's similarities to Mario, and the reason he is based on him. From day one of the SEGA/Nintendo rivalry, however, Sonic had always been presented as being "cooler" than Mario. So, basically, Sonic was a sped-up, "cool" Mario.

The Similarities to Mario - Characters

There are some similarities to Mario in terms of characters, their roles, and/or their personalities.

Shadow the Hedgehog is Sonic's rival, and looks a lot like him to boot. (Let's ignore the fact that he's black and red and not blue, for a moment)

Wario is Mario's rival, and looks a lot like him. (Wario is a lot... bigger, and his face seems to be stuck in a sick smile, and wears yellow and purple, but let's leave that alone)

They share a role as a rivaling doppelganger of their respective protagonists. But they have very different personalities; Shadow is just in a bad mood most of the time, while Wario is money-mad.

There are other similarities between other characters, but this one kind of sticks out the most in my mind. But, whatever the case, the similarities are most likely coincidence here. Anyone who knows Shadow's Sonic Team origins knows that he was not created to rival Wario at all. Their roles just happened to end up that way.
