[up] I honestly like that this has become a thing. Really ties all the facets (comics, animations, games, etc) of the franchise together like how they seem to want.

Yeah, it really brings into perspective how much of a multimedia giant Sonic is.

It’s nice living in an era where tie-ins and multimedia are actually starting to be considered an active part of overall continuity rather than throwaways nobody considers canon.

Not just with Sonic. You’re starting to see that happen a lot across the board.

Yeah, if there was a major issue with this franchise in the past few years was that the canon was all over the place.

In which Nack/Fang/Fack/Nang's name is discussed. But I'm pretty sure Jet is someone else.

Also, so Trip's probably a native of the island, then? That would do more to explain why her helmet is on that mural.

Apparently "Jet" was one of Fang's names, based on this old excerpt when Sonic Triple Trouble was first revealed, along with other pre-release material.

"Nack the Weasel" remains legit...from a certain point of view.

I'm sure that line is likely to please fans, given how well it goes over in the Star Wars fandom without being a meme at all...

What's the super strike mentioned in that second link? Nevermind, here we go. It's a boost that's invulnerable to damage. Unless they meant this, the other new Triple Trouble move.

Has Sonic had 900 comic issues or is it adventures in general?

In-universe, 900 adventures.

Outside it, it's 900 issues counting reprints in the English speaking world.

I like that the comic basically says "none of those are real names, Fang doesn't go by his real name".

Per the recent Game Apologist video, it's 900 issues including Fleetway, Archie, and IDW.

In-canon, it's 900 adventures including the games, IDW comics, and lots of adventures not seen by us.

Nah, it's definitely "Maximum Over-Sonic!"

It's crazy to think that auto-runners and cameos aside, Amy's last "main" playable appearance, prior to 2023, was 2004 with Advance 3.

KnownUnknown Since: Jan, 2001
#75573: Sep 26th 2023 at 10:50:35 AM

Wasn't she occasionally playable in 06?

Negaman Since: Aug, 2017
#75574: Sep 26th 2023 at 11:17:25 AM

[up]

Yes, Amy was playable in Sonic 06. By 2026 it would have been 20 years since that game and anyone but Sonic being playable. So, discounting mobile and racing games, it's been 16 years since she was last playable. With Origins Plus and The Final Horizon ending that this year.

[up][up]Yes, she was, but minimally, basically a cameo. Advance 3 was the last time you could go through a game's full story mode (except for Got All Emeralds endings) using Amy. Presumably Superstars will be the first game since then (not counting Origins Plus).

[up]Blaze in Rush Adventure (07); Tails in 4-II (12); Tails, Knuckles, Mighty, and Ray in Mania (17); Buddy in Forces (17).
Also Episode Metal and Episode Shadow in 4-II and Forces, if you count those bonus modes.
Also also, I guess I forgot about the Boom games. I don't count Origins here sine it's a port/rerelease.

Huh. We've been at a pace for other characters being playable about once every 5 years. And in a big way, too, since not only is this unofficially the "Year of Amy" with it being her and Metal's 30th birthday, but there's 2-4 games where we can play as non-Sonic characters (Frontiers, Superstars, and to a lesser extent Origins Plus and Murder).
