I really do not see how any of these are so far fetched when they’re based on solid indicators. Especially Knuckles. Plenty of others believe this. It’s not just me. Some think Robotnik will use the quill to make Metal Sonic. Seems like a good guess but that’s more of an assumption when we have not even seen Badniks. It’s true Echidnas were not originally planned but the Mushroom place was. Imo such a location in this particular movie along with Robotnik getting trapped there is just hard to ignore and call filler. If it ends up really different and those of us are wrong...well it’s fine but it would be a heck of a turnaround considering where things are pointing at moment.
That's the question, things are not pointing, it's like Eggman and Robotnik getting stuck at white space at the end of Generations, except maybe this time they'll explain how did he escape from the irrelevant location he fell in. Maybe with the help of Knuckles, maybe with the help of another moustached fat guy also wearing red clothing for work. Or maybe he'll use the quill agains a special mushroom, or find a lost ring to use for his own portal... The only two things that ending gives us for sure are Tails and finally an egg-shaped Eggman for the sequel, and yes, probably echidnas, but not thanks to the mushroom hell (not hill, big difference).
Given how drastically they changed Sonic's character, I have to wonder how they're going to handle Tails & Knuckles; generally speaking, Sonic's always been presented as superior to the two of them, but with movie Sonic being a lot more vulnerable, I wonder how that's going to change the dynamic. Will Tails end up being the more experienced of the two? Will Knuckles not get tricked into fighting Sonic?
I just noticed the Sega Shop has the baby Sonic movie poster https://shop.sega.com/products/soni...ting&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ESGA210113 The blurb for it says: Is there any official note that says the Green Hill Zone island in the movie is Emerald Hill Zone?
Well, the town's name is Green Hill, so I guess it was safer for them to use the name of a different hill that was initially meant to be Green Hill again.
Don't know why the shop called it that but no, it definitely wasn't Emerald Hill in design or intent or name
Ya it seems more like a mistake. Isn’t Emerald Hill the code name for the sequel? Unless Baby Sonic appears in a flashback.
I'm going to just say it's likely a little throwaway reference to a zone people know for the sake of a product description.
Good to know, thanks Boxer. That's what I would say except that Green Hill is obviously the more well known stage.
The town wasn't even called Green Hill, it was Green Hills which is the zone found in Sonic 2 8-bit. I get they were obviously trying to make a reference to Green Hill, I bet the writers probably aren't even aware of Sonic 2 on the Master System or Game Gear. :S As for the Emerald Hill mistake, perhaps someone was thinking of the codename for the sequel.
