As you celebrate the Easter holiday (or “Simp Vanilla the Rabbit Sunday” as some like to call it), it’s important to remember that Aonic could’ve been a rabbit and we’d be celebrating Simp Sonic Sunday!
Yes, back in the yesteryears of the early 1900s (1990 to be exact), Sega was trying to come up with a mascot who could annihilate that “Italian” plumber with the fake mustache (we all know he’s really from Wisconsin). Alex Kidd just wasn’t hip enough, so he was sent to the closet of forgotten characters™️. The Sega team came up with a rabbit, but it was too hard to animate in game, plus he looked too old timey and 90s kids could not relate! Also, he seemed a little too happy about murdering robots. Sonic the Rabbit cannot be trusted. That bow tie isn’t fooling anyone.
Sonic was almost an armadillo too, but the team at Sega thought Sonic the Armadillo was too hard to say and they preferred a supersonic hedgie over a supersonic dillo.
And that’s where Easter eggs come from! Happy Easter everyone!
