Journey into the Sonic Multiverse
The Most Popular Timeline in the Sonic the Hedgehog Multiverse is no doubt, SEGA's games and some of their media. It's often called the Main Canon. Sometimes the Only Canon. But this Canon has been going through a Soft ReBoot as of late. I like to call this reboot, NEO 2020. Due to it mainly dealing with Sonic's Games This Decade, along with affecting the past. Mainly, Sonic Origins, Sonic Colors Ultimate, and Sonic Fronteirs.
This Soft Reboot Conclusion came to me mainly due to these
Sonic Origins Slightly Altered Versions of the Sonic 1, CD, 2, & 3's Stories are confirmed to replace the original Manuals in our Current Timeline. As confirmed by Origins Writer & Fronteirs Scene/Dialouge Writer, Ian Flynn on his Bumbleking Podcast.
He Also confirmed that Spinball is now canon (minus the 16 Emeralds and New Tornado Model) an effort to try and one day get the Freedom Fighters in the games. Whether or not that goal comes to fruition is to be seen
Ian noted that SegaSonic the Hedgehog now takes place After Sonic 3 and Before Mania on his Bumbleking Podcast
Finally, Sonic Channel (The Official Japanese Website for Sonic the Hedgehog) removed ALL THE CHARACTER AGES from their Bios. Removing ages from this timeline. Making 2 games SEGA is adamant about being canon despite not making sense (Sonic 06 & Sonic Gemerations) alot less confusing. Due to some things to think about being removed.
If I was to guess what the Timeline looks like NOW, Based on this info and my previous knowledge about this Blue Boi, I'd say it looks like this
My Idea of this new soft reboot's Timeline based on recent information,
• Sonic Origins (Story Mode) • SegaSonic the Hedgehog (Ian Flynn switched SEGASONIC to take place after Sonic 3) • Sonic Mania Plus (Both Modes, you know the order) • Sonic Forces • Sonic Mania Adventures • Sonic Drift (Hasn't been retconned out of this yet) • SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter (Hasn't been retconned out of this yet) • Chaotix • Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island • Sonic the Fighters (Ian retconned the Different Tornado Model and 16 Emeralds from Spinball without retconning the game, so I'm sure he'd love to retcon the 8th Emerald seen in this game. Or just make it the Master Emerald) • Sonic R (Hasn't been retconned out of this yet. Likely will cause many Don't like it) • Sonic Adventure DX • Sonic Shuffle (Hasn't been retconned out of this yet) • Sonic Adventure 2 Battle • Sonic Advance • Sonic Advance 2 • Sonic Pinball Party (Hasn't been retconned out of this yet) • Sonic Heroes • Shadow the Hedgehog (You already know what's canon and what's not) • Sonic Battle • Sonic Advance 3 • Sonic Jump [J2ME] (Hasn't been retconned out of this yet) • Sonic 06 (it makes no fucking sense but they're sticking with it. I guess they wanna pretend the ending erased their minds and saved the world instead of erasing all the events of the game. With ages no longer being a thing, The Chaos Emerald thing atleast almost makes sense. Time isn't real in NEW 2020 SONIC) • Sonic Rush • Sonic Riders • Sonic and the Secret Rings • Sonic Rush Adventure • Sonic Unleashed • Sonic and the Black Knight • Sonic Colors Ultimate (IDK where Rise of the Wisps goes here. I refuse to watch it) • Sonic Generations (somehow) • Sonic Lost World. • Sonic Comic (The 2016 Sonic Manga Released by SEGA Online about casual stuff) • Sonic Forces • Sonic Fronteirs
And Chao in Space is somewhere in there
Tumblr media
I just wonder if IDW is canon to this, or is it it's own thing like Fleetway, Archie, and the Manga. IDW's Comic is forced to be accurate to SEGA's current timeline (like how Evan Stanley wasn't able to use a location from Sonic Rivals cause it's not considered canon) and Tangle & Whisper got in the Mobile Games, Merchandise, Not to mention, IDW is the only Sonic Comic to be Localized into Japanese for Japan. NGL, I think it's ALMOST Canon
