Things in Sonic that don't really make sense

Probably in the same way that you have humans and monkeys who coexist :v: That's how I've always viewed it.

 

There are a few problems with this part:

1) "Lifted in the air by the gods". Not sure about this, but I don't recall other 'gods' being mentioned specifically anywhere. I could be wrong, but I had always thought that Tikal and Chaos used the power of the Master Emerald to lift the Island for that purpose. Unless, by "the gods" you are referring to Tikal and Chaos...

2) Pre S3&K, there were two sets of known Chaos Emeralds (three if you follow my theory that the Time Stones are actually Chaos Emeralds as well), the set in Sonic 1 and 2, and the set that was on Angel Island with Knuckles (as mentioned in the Sonic 3 manual translation).

I've always held a theory that many places on Angel Island are advanced versions of some of the places from Sonic 1/2 (which were possibly abandoned by the Echidnas/whoever lived there before going airborne), due to some of the artwork similarities (I.e. some of the stone blocks in Labyrinth are really similar to Hydrocity, but the stonework as well as the transportation system in Hydrocity is much more intricate and refined than Labyrinth's).

 

So it's no different to us finding pennies in the street? :v:

 

Haha I guess I would pick up a lot more pennies if they saved me from death.

But yeah, considering the sheer quantity of rings seen in game (and the cost of things in the Chao Gardens and other shops in-game), maybe they could be equated to our pennies, or the japanese yen.

 

Get ready to have your mind blown!! :v:

From the Sonic 2 Japanese (and correct version of the story) manual:

"--The Legend of West Side Island--
They say that a very long time ago, the people of this island used mysterious stones to advance their civilization, and they achieved great prosperity. However, when those people people tried to use the stones in the wrong way, their prosperity vanished overnight. After that, they say that the gods sealed the stones away somewhere on the island."

From the Sonic 3 Japanese manual:

"Sonic was reminded of a legend that he had heard long ago, about an ancient civilization that lived upon an island. Creating a society of peace and harmony, the people who lived within attributed their great prosperity to the "Stone of Power," a sacred gem whose energy guided them. One day, as these stories often go, a sect of wise men decided that they wanted to take the power of the stone for their own selfish gain, and tried to seize the energy. Unable to control it, their foolishness caused the great civilization to disappear in the blink of an eye, their way of life being forgotten. In its wake, the gods took the land, rebuilt it, and sent it, along with the "Stone of Power" into the sky... "

The first one's giving us information of a civilization that used the Chaos Emeralds, the second about the Master Emerald.

The only oddity here is that it says "the gods sealed the stones away somewhere on the island" when Sonic had already collected some of them in Sonic 1. I chalk this up to it being a legend and SEGA not realising this complex error at print.

No one really seems to realise that from Sonic 1 all the way to Sonic Adventure, SEGA were creating an entire plot about the origins of the Chaos Emeralds which we in the west missed because SEGA decided to give us some basic story which would hold kids attentions more here.

This sotry though does link all the islands of Sonic 1, 2 and 3 together though, as well as the trainlink to Mystic Ruins which is seemingly just it's own singular island in Sonic Adventure. Sonic Chronicles also gives the player a good idea of the mapping of certain areas too.

 

Sonic X attempted an explanation - Robotnik rebuilt it as means of apology (and to ruin Sonic's reputation as the hero). Sonic Generations = Messed up timelines (which is why Crisis City exists here).

Here's one: How did Amy manage to make her way through Metallic Madness to meet Sonic at the final boss area? Did she find a back door or a short cut or something?

 

Maybe she was recaptured behind Sonic's back? And we didn't notice because we're following Sonic?

 

It made for a damn good excuse for a filler too =P

And Collision Chaos... And also every time she stalks Sonic in the later games...

 

Whoops, didn't notice that. Sorry.

Let me try again....

How people don't mind that there are floating platforms lying aroundin their city/town/villiage/etc.

...damn it.

.....

How animals in the classic/Adventure/Advance(?) games got really small, especially large animals like gorillas, bears, and elephants. Does Eggman use shrinking rays? If that's the case, how come he hasn't used it on Sonic and co. once?

 

I always thought that there are the anthroes, like Sonic, and the other animals, the "normal" animals are so small and stuff. You know, since they're so tiny and stuff in the first three Mega Drive games too.
That brings up another question, how do they make food like meat?
;A;

 

Simple, Quorn!

The next game should revolve around Eggman destroying Qourn and thus forcing the worlds inhabitants to eat animal meat.

Actually, you never really see edible animals. You see piglets, but when do you ever see lambs, or cows, or even ducks!?

Apart from Bean, he'd make a mighty duck roll.

 

Maybe Dark Gaia's awakening had something to do with it?

 

Or you know, they didn't talk because the "Fans" would have completely flipped their shit had C.Sonic uttered a single word? Like how they flipped their shit when that first gameplay trailer was released and there were some M.Sonic lines dubbed over C.Sonic gameplay, or how the same fans treated C.Tails talking like a fucking compromise that shouldn't have happened?

Of course not, it had to be because Sonic Team is full of morons.

 

Didn't Aaron say something about them trying to get Steve Urkel to voice classic Sonic?

 

Why didn't anyone stop the character designer of Amy Rose from making her underwear so visible?

 

That was a joke.

 

Ah, fair enough XD

 

One of the biggest thing that makes no sense to me is Route 101. And Route 99. And Radical Highway. How can a human mind build a speedway like this and see it as a practicable road ? And most of all, how can cars successfully run on it and give the mind behind this reason ? The way is all broken, with loops, holes... The first time I played SA2, I was blinking during all those levels, trying to understand why it was existing the way it did...
