There's so many ways to show Sonic reacting to And the Adventure Continues that don't feel so ominous. It's going to haunt me if we never get a sequel to Sonic Prime to explain exactly what happened there.

[up] Not the only Sonic show that's never given a proper resolution, but at least this one was PLANNED to end that way, unlike SatAM or Sonic Underground.

Sat AM only haunts me less because fans have attempted to give it an ending, and I always headcanoned SATAM as being part of the comics anyway... which also didn't get a proper conclusion, but a partial one at least.

I'm getting Sonic x Shadow Generations for PS4 when it comes out.

I still need to finish Frontiers even though I've had most of it spoiled.

[up] No, I'm getting it on PS4, I still don't have a PS5 yet, and I might not get one for another year.

So I was listening to some music from Sonic Battle, and so much of it is just plain fun!

And then there's the music relating to Emerl's leitmotif, which hopefully we'll be hearing a lot more of coming soon:

I had a dream where there was a Sonic game where you played as Sonic, Tails... and Garfield.

Well there was a Sonic and Garfield collection on PC in the 90s.

[up][up]I just relistened to it. I'd link it, but I've already linked enough as it is. It's got this weird shift like you're revving up a car, step on the gas... and go speeding off in reverse. Also, apparently, it's the closest thing we've ever had to a theme song for Cream? Has she really never had one?

e-121's theme was always a memorable one.

So I was thinking while I was taking a walk earlier on: In the IDW comics, after they both got repaired, Gemerl and Omega had a sparring match. Since Gemerl is based on Emerl and the E-121 Phi clones, is Gemerl considered to be a part of the culmination of the E-Series, like Omega is?

Also, Phi throws off the numbering of the E-Series. Because the first one, ZERO, is E-100 and is effectively "alpha", and the last is E-123 Omega, Phi should actually be E-120, and there should be a Psi and Chi after it. Plus, despite debuting after Omega, its serial number comes before it. I think I could come up with a head-canon to clear this up, though:

  • "Chaos Gamma" is E-120 or one of the unassigned numbers prior to E-121.
  • Eggman came up with the last several E-Series robots at around the same time as each other, as he hurried up the project because he was starting to get bored.
  • E-122 is actually twins Psi and Chi, to make the numbering work for Omega.
    • If this were the case, maybe Psi and Chi were designed not to be as fully capable as the rest, but to share a "brain cell" or function... which suggests they could be the origins of Orbot and Cubot, who otherwise just appeared out of nowhere shortly after this time.
    • This could also explain why Omega isn't as violent towards those two, because they're just not a threat to be taken remotely seriously.
    • Maybe Orbot and Cubot were designed to be delegated tasks, which was revisited with Gemerl, who could interface directly with Eggman's boss robots, and the idea was shelved before finally being perfected in the Sage AI.

Or Robotnik forgot which names he had used because he was busy with other projects. Do we have a number and/or name for the green E robot that appears in one of the stages of Sonic battle?

I like to think that green robot is Sigma from Scrapnik Island. E-117 Sigma.

Me realizing that there's a "how to draw Sonic" on one of my DVDs (I think it's the complete series of the Saturday morning version), so I should get it out and give it a shot when I resume drawing in September.

[up][up] I have always wanted a book on how to draw the characters in Sonic media. Such as Shortfuse, Dark Oak, Nagus, Enjack and more.

So, been thinking about some of the ally characters for specific missions in the 2005 Shadow game, and, after 18 and a half years of that stuff bugging me, well...

  • Cryptic Castle should have Black Doom instead of Eggman for the Dark mission; it is a Black Arms versus Egg Pawns level, and Eggman's mission having you kill Egg Pawns is off.

  • Black Comet should have an Eggman offensive rather than a GUN one, and, rather than Sonic and Diablon for the Dark final boss and a random Egg Dealer for the Hero final boss, the Egg Dealer should be the Dark final boss, and Black Doom should be the Hero final boss.

  • Cosmic Fall should be an Eggman invasion on the ARK rather than a Black Arms one. The Egg Dealer should be the Hero final boss, rather than randomly being the Dark one, and Sonic and Diablon should be the Dark final boss.

The game had an issue of random Egg Dealers as final bosses, so having Eggman playing more of a part in those final levels that veer towards the neutral path could had been less of a clash.

On the subject of Shadow the Hedgehog (really hoping I haven't already said this and forgot), I've put some idle thought into how I would've handle the missions. In order to prevent scouring the maps for every single enemy (one of many common criticisms), I would make it it so that all the missions end with hitting the goal ring, and if you kill a certain percentage of the enemies on one side (let's say 60%), then it counts for the hero or dark mission. Doing neither gives the neutral mission, as would completing both (since neither side can determine your true allegiance with indiscriminate slaughter).

I've also thought about the guns. SPECIFICALLY AS A GAME MECHANIC I have no issue with the guns, so to deal with the tone clash I would retool them. Start off with giving Shadow Chaos Spear by default (it's not like Sonic Team forgot about the move, Super Shadow uses it after all) and enemies would drop some sort of power core to power it up, making a small scale version of an arm cannon attach to Shadow's cuff. They'd have different effects; let's say green would be a power boost, purple would give rapid-fire, red would act as an explosive and break walls, etc. And they would still have ammo, with the enhancer burning off and being detached.

Here's a hard mode question for Sonic fans

Is there a single bad song or even a song you even remotely dislike in this franchise?
