However, Penders ''lost'' that case, so Sega has full legal rights over the aforementioned characters, but considering how litigious and spiteful Penders can be[[note]]To this day, he claims that [[InsaneTrollLogic he has proper ownership of Shade because of her similarities to Julie-Su]], which is not true[[/note]], how divisive the game was, how poor the sales were ''and'' [=BioWare=] being bought out by Electronic Arts (which is probably the biggest collection of misfortune a game with a cliffhanger has ever ended up with), Sega probably decided it was not worth the effort to commission a sequel regardless. Ferox, however, popped up briefly in ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'''s StoryArc ''Chao Races and Badnik Bases''.

* ExiledFromContinuity: Although there are some minor elements from this game that would go on to be adopted by the mainline series (like the "Knuckles Clan" name), as far as Sega cares, ''Chronicles'' never happened, as Knuckles continues to be described as the last ever echidna despite this game blatantly contradicting that.
