!!Quotes about the game
->''"Seriously, what do I even say? We've endured twelve long years of game journalists and self-styled critics alike leaning on it as an easy shorthand any time we need to talk about Sonic. Making sure that every single person on the planet is keenly aware of [[ObviousBeta this]], and '''[[LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading this]]''', and the implications of '''[[InterspeciesRomance that]]'''. Whether you prefer your game criticism straight, snarky or screaming, [[WebVideo/SomeCallMeJohnny low-key and analytical]], or [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd ostentatious and hyperbolic]], there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of stories, reviews and retrospectives all centered around '''this one game.''' History has proven time and time again; it is easy, fun, profitable and quite often hilarious to talk about ''Sonic '06''. The game is both universal and inescapable. Even if you've never played it, you already know it's garbage, and you know what '''makes''' it garbage."''
-->-- '''Josh Wallen''' of ''WebVideo/TheGeekCritique'', 2018
