I doubt they would even bring up Maria to be honest. Mabey something about Eggman creating him, Amy mistakes Shadow for Sonic, and by the end, Sonic kicks his ass and everyone forgets he existed.
I really wonder how this "No continuity" will work out.
Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceI can see a new story for him. I prefer his old one, but hey, new Universe. I wonder if he'll be fairly gloomy/dark like in the regular series and its adaptions(well, Games and Sonic X. Not sure about the various Comics).
...It's weird having so many websites and no way to properly display now, lol.I'd kind of like it if they actually made him the figure in the mural with Perfect Chaos. Rather than have him be technological in nature say he's some kind of ancient entity that went into a deep sleep after his battle with Chaos and now he's trying to piece together who or what he is.
Whoa now! They aren't going to go that deep.
Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceProbably not but it would be interesting if they ever decide to include Chaos.
Why would they? It wouldn't make sense.
YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.So far all we know is that Sonic and co. and Eggman got somehow randomly transported to a different planet or something. Though how? And did the team get transported at the same time as Eggman? Then why wasn't Eggman around during the falling scene?
And how the hell did Shadow end up there? Did he Chaos Control the wrong way from Albequerque?

What are you even getting at?
YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.The whole "new world, new continuity" debate.
Yes, it is a spinoff with it's own story in a new world.
No, that does not mean backstories will be re-written. Maybe ignored until they are relevant to the plot, but not re-written.
So Shadow will still be an artificial space mutant hedgehog who had his adoptive sister shot on a space colony. They probably won't bring it up though...
That's exactly what they're doing though...
Removing the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emeralds from this new continuity basically means that Knuckles and Shadow have completely different back stories.

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.Pretty much what Randomness said.
Chaos Zero was pretty much created as a key part of the Chaos Emeralds' overall story(and Master Emerald's). Shadow at least has more backstory not related to the Emeralds. A lot of his Chaos stuff wasn't really explained very well till his game alone. We saw he could use the Chaos Emerald quite well, but nothing about this origins at all. He has to have something different if they don't show up at all. And I don't just mean his powers/abilities. His origins definitely need changing up.
...It's weird having so many websites and no way to properly display now, lol.I'll be surprised if they acknowledge anyone's backstory given the cartoon seems to have Negative Continuity.
I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.How would you know that? It hasn't even started airing yet.
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the GreatThe show's style is comedy focus and its been said that its not going for continuous story stuff.
YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.Yes yes, Knuckles and Shadow are very tied to the emeralds, but it's not like the emeralds gave birth to them.
Both can still function as characters without the presence of the emeralds and that wouldn't affect any history the characters have had.
Of course, seeing how the show is going to have a mostly one-off episode pacing, they will likely not dvelve into anyones backgrounds, except maybe for a few second Mythology Gag or two.
Seriously, why would anyone expect to see anything deep and meaningful and downright "story arc" related in this show when they themselves stated this will strictly be comedy? Unless they state they're airring a four-ep long story arc about the search for some new powerful entity(NOT-chaos emeralds), then we should not speculate if they'll explain their backstories in-show.

Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceBecause people are desperately hoping otherwise?
Then they should go read the fanfics to curb that hope, because this show won't have any of "Sonic andventure's" story logic for a while.
Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceBeing solely based on comedy does not mean there will be no continuity whatsoever. It may be that way, but we have yet to actually see the show. Seriously, let's stop jumping the gun a bit and just wait and see what actually happens. Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is pretty much all about comedy with very little story. But it also has no Negative Continuity and did a great job of having good character backgrounds as well. This may be far less story than it, but who knows.
...It's weird having so many websites and no way to properly display now, lol.Do we even have an exact date yet to prepare? I know it's close to Fall.
Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceNot that I know of. I'll probably just record it on my DVR. And maybe someday get the DVD's if possible. I still need the Sonic X ones. >_< And the second half of Underground.
...It's weird having so many websites and no way to properly display now, lol.I understand why they're doing it but I still wish this show wasn't a straight up comedy. Over the past few years Sonic has had an annoying habit of just throwing random shit into its continuity with little attempt to make it mesh with what came before. Sonic Boom being an alternate continuity gives them a chance to take all these random elements and streamline them into a more coherent whole while cutting out some of the more extraneous BS. I'll probably still watch the series but overall it seems like a missed opportunity to me.
Maybe they don't feel like it's worth. That's it's better to just drop all teh baggage and cut loose.
Man is this getting heated.
All I was trying to say that they'll likely not mention any backstory or origins or past game/cartoon/comic stuff, but just because they won't mention it, that doesn't mean it has changed.
But most of all, it means all that doesn't matter much for this series, despite them technically being a thing. Just an unused thing.
Dunno why some fans are so worried though. Not like we need to be explained what Shadow is for the tenth time in the series.
Wouldn't it be a Mythology Gag?
