You know what I find hilarious; canonically speaking, Sonic met Amy before Tails. Which, by proxy, means Amy is Sonic's oldest companion.

Has it been confirmed that Sonic CD took place before Sonic 2?

I know that CD apparently came out a little bit before (I think), but I don't know if what little timeline Sonic has had stated which happened first.

Plus, I'd hardly call Amy a companion in that game. She started as a nuisance, and then became a damsel to be rescued.

It would be fairer to say she's his oldest acquaintance, and probably only by a little bit.

CD came out after 2.

Generally.

CD's director said CD takes place between 1 and 2. CD and 2 were developed around the same time.

With the original Spin Dash being a bit different in CD, its easy to imagine Sonic refining it by the time of 2.

Ugh, don't remind me of this debate cause the answer is never clear.

Sonic 4 muddled things up.

Wait wasn't Tails the one who figured out how to spindash in the first place?

If Sonic 4 is canon, then CD has to take place after 3&K. Afterall, Sonic R is confirmed canon.

Given there's speculation about Generations creating a temporal split, Sonic 4 may only be canon to one timeline anyway.

Sonic R has a plot. Like WTF?

I remember reading the manual on the gems collection and just laughing.

Since we're talking about timelines, I remember back when Colors was new that the Sonic Wiki had a page about the series timeline. They kept this page up for a while but I now can't seem to find it anywhere. It kinda went like this (modified to include newer games. Mania is in a separate timeline from the rest of the series, and this timeline does consider games like Chaotix and Chronicles canon. I do surprisingly remember a lot of it):

     long list 

  • Sonic 1 16-bit
  • Sonic 1 8-bit
  • Sega Sonic the Hedgehog
  • Sonic CD
  • Sonic Labyrinth
  • Tails Adventures
  • Tails Skypatrol
  • Sonic 2 8-bit
  • Sonic Chaos
  • Sonic Drift
  • Sonic 2 16-bit
  • Sonic 3 and Knuckles
  • Sonic Triple Trouble
  • Sonic 4
  • Chaotix
  • Sonic Drift 2
  • Sonic 3D Blast
  • Sonic Blast
  • Sonic the Fighters
  • Sonic R
  • Sonic Pocket Adventure
  • Sonic Advance 1
  • Sonic Advance 2
  • Sonic Adventure 1
  • Sonic Shuffle
  • Sonic Adventure 2
  • Sonic Heroes
  • Shadow the Hedgehog
  • Sonic Battle
  • Sonic Advance 3
  • Sonic '06 (timeline resets here)
  • Sonic Rivals
  • Sonic Rivals 2
  • Sonic Rush
  • Sonic Rush Adventure
  • Sonic Riders
  • Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
  • Sonic Free Riders
  • Sonic and the Secret Rings
  • Sonic and the Black Knight
  • Sonic Chronicles
  • Sonic Unleashed
  • Sonic Colors
  • Sonic Generations (timeline splits here, one split leads to Mania happening shortly after 3&K, other split leads to the rest of the list)
  • Sonic Lost World
  • Sonic Forces
  • Team Sonic Racing

That's a good effort in their part but ummm, I don't see it fitting at all especially with what I know today.

[up][up]Mind you that I added in stuff from after Generations in there.

I don't know where to put TSR in there. If it has the Deadly Six in it then it will go after Forces.

The problem with CD coming before 2 is that it seems weird that Robotnik would use Silver Sonic when Metal Sonic is clearly a superior weapon.

You can say the same about Mecha Sonic.

[up][up]That's a good point. I suppose you could argue he was still repairing Metal during that time, so he fielded a new robot instead (which could also explain S3&K and the existence of Mecha Sonic).

Hell, maybe he was using them to collect data to further improve Metal Sonic and never fully intended for them to win.
