Well the map of the world in shadow the hedgehog is pretty much a slightly altert earth map and pretty much every continuity beside the game at one point says that the planet is ether earth in the future (Archi comics, Ova, original plan for satam) or use to be a part of earth (Sonic X and as far as I know also Flettway comics) so using this as the Basics at least doesn't sound too far-fetched
But it does make sense after reading and tying in the games. Sure it's sloppy but that's how DC comics are with Injustice and Earth Prime. None of it ties in but add a Multiverse theory and you got yourself so many fans of different storylines
So true it was. The comic was back before Dr. Eggman when he was Ivo Robotnik. It was initially a tower that Sonic had to play in in order to stop his nemesis
It's funny how the tone of the story went from a melodramatic plot involving BIG BAD DARK ALIENS to ~lighthearted plot of blue hedgehog saving animals 3 times~ back to BIG BAD ARK ALIENS by the end again.
Did I mention Sonic gets ported to outer space and meets other alien races and encounters different colored chaos emeralds (which pays homage to DC Comics multi-colored Lantern Corps in the New 52s)
Have you ever wondered why people get mad when you call Sonic a kid's game? It's cause no one pays attention to the story. They also missed where Eggman tries to commit alien genocide in Sonic Colors and where Sonic kills six demons in Lost World... Also when Sonic pretty much beats Evil Incarnate back into the center of Mobius (the planet) in Sonic Unleashed. Sonic's actually got a pretty bleak storyline despite the pretty colors they paint it in.
+Jad40080 Really? When you look at the stories in the games and you examine what happened while you were playing as a cuddly blue hedgehog that can tear apart metal by jumping on it, the stories are pretty clear. Care to explain how the stories aren't how I explained them? Just because it's for kids doesn't mean the story has to be simple and innocent. "If the story is too complex for adults, write it for kids" or something like that. Read through the dialogue and pay attention to the effects of the characters in the game, it's pretty clear what's going on.
This was pretty good and comprehensive for a three minute time limit. Left out of this timeline: Nocturnus Echidna Clan is banished by Argus event, Knuckles Echidna tribe is destroyed by Chaos, Gerald discovers Gizoids, events of Sonic CD, events of Sonic 4 1 & 2, events of Sonic the Fighters, events of Sonic Advance 1 & 2. Every other game takes place after Shadow the Hedgehog.
+SkaiCyan Indeed. But hey, like you said, for three minutes this is great, and at least it's alll the main games up to Shadow The Hedgehog. What I mean is, they didn't waste time on a handheld story and leave Shadow The Hedgehog unexplained.
+SkaiCyan Fighters is a bit hard to place in the timeline, considering the 8 emeralds. I'd likely put it just before or just after SA2, as Tails' engineered emerald would fit the bill, or else the Master Emerald just shrunk to Chaos Emerald size.
The Impossible Dingo Yeah, personally I just don't worry too much about the 8th Emerald and place it immediately after Sonic CD since Metal Sonic is still a large presence.
You forgot Sonic CD which is placed before Sonic 2 in the timeline and is important since Metal Sonic is huge in Heroes which you din't cover as well which is also important because of Shadow's memory thing. After Shadow the hedgehog all games follow up in the timeline with the game's release dates.
I think sonic CD may be the 4th in the series chronology. Metal Sonic isn't bulky like previous designs, THe idea of Eggman making a robot like Sonic...is well to make a robot that looked, and had the speed, strengh and agility, if not better, hence today sonic fans say it's one of eggman's best creations.
Wow I never knew the story was that deep, especially during the beginning. Now I know that there is an actual reason why the Sonic characters are anthropomorphic animals that exist with humans.
There isn’t, he just took non canon sources that he said he wasn’t going to use at the beginning, however, you probably won’t see this, since you posted this 7 years ago.
+Ykelo Radford Well is not canon, since the game end like there was going to be a sequel but Sega never make it. Making the game story not worth learning. However wouldn't Sonic adventure 2 continue from Sonic Heroes?
Ykelo Radford takes place sometime in between 06 and heroes not sure when though. But ended in an odd and dark way. Sega decided it wasn't Canon to the main timeline. Basically anything not in generations or was mentioned in gen is not really Canon or is of a different continuity or universe like riders takes place in between shadow and 06, zero g takes place 1 year after and free takes place 3 years after what with sonic being in his 20's.
Metalks The Tornado was actually repaired in Unleashed after Eggman shot it down in Adventure. Colors takes place after Unleashed. Generations is the biggest reason why these 4 games can only take place after Shadow: First off, Rouge is present at Sonic's birthday; which means that it can only happen after she's met Sonic. Then there is the appearance of Shadow; who outright says Sonic's name before the final boss. That means that enough time would have had to pass after SA2, Heroes, and Shadow for Shadow to know Sonic's name. Then there is Silver and Blaze knowing Sonic in Generations. As '06 (timeline 1), Rivals and Rush (timeline 2, where '06 was erased) can only happen after Shadow, this means that Generations happens after Shadow, Also for Generations, it takes place after Colors as Eggman leaves Orbot and Cubot behind in space after discovering Time Eater. Lost World takes place after Generations.
What evidence is there that Lost World takes place after Generations? I knew Generations was late because... obviously the cast, but I played through Lost World and I don't recall any call backs.
"not the comic books or cartoons" "modern day Earth is destroyed, 30 million years later, animals evolve" What? It have been said what it's video game storyline, but for some reason Sonic Satam and Sonic Archie storyline used? What?
21kHzBANK21kHZ In Sonic Archie (early Archie, or Pre-Super Genesis Wave Archie) it was clearly stated what Mobius is a post-apocalyptic Earth. Earth was destroyed by alien race Xorda, because humans (who was led by Dr. Robotnik ancestor) captured they're ambassador and dissected him. Xorda (who already was an easy pissed off race) used some kind of genebombs, which completely annihilated most of the humans and thrown Earth back to "primordial soup". In the end human and animal DNA mixed up and life on Earth (which was now named as Mobius by everyone for some dumb reason) re-evolved, but this time humans wasn't the only pinnacle of evolution. They had to share this place with "mobians". Complicated? Well... You can thank Ken Penders and Karl Bollers for that. In Sonic Satam it never was stated in-universe what Mobius was Earth, but Ben Hurst later said himself what Mobius was Earth thousand years into future. Because of nuclear holocaust humans gone completely extinct, but animals survived and mutated into sentient beings. Robotnik and Snively is all what left of humanity, because they weren't on Earth, they were on some space colony. Long story short, Robotnik tried to takeover colony, but wind up destroying everything and left to Earth to find out what time was moving rather slow in space and he came into future populated by animals.
21kHzBANK21kHZ Mobius is confirmed to be an entirely different planet in Sonic the Comic, but it's linked to Earth, because they are "sister planets". Mobius is considered as an entirely different planet in AOSTH, some other western comics or books and Sonic Underground. Sonic's World in Sonic X isn't Mobius, because "Mobius" as a name for the world of Sonic and his friends used only in western media, but this world also somehow linked to Earth, because Dr. Eggman was born on Earth and Chaos Control teleported everyone to Earth. Planet Freedom in Sonic OVA could be considered post-apocalyptic Earth too, because of all those New York-esque buildings. In games and Archie (latest Archie, Post Super-Genesis Wave) Sonic lives on not-Earth, which was called simply as World, Planet or Sonic's World (how it's officially called now). It was also called Earth in English translations on several occasions, but it's presumed what it was a simple mistranslation.
Sonic heroes actually takes place directly after SA2, and it could be considered SA3. It goes as far as mentioning Chaos from Sonic 1 and Froggy swallowing a part of it.
+James F Woah dude, you didn't have to write an essay about her wrong use of the term "autistic"... You could've just said "Hey, Autism is a disease, not an insult.". At least you've contributed to the Internet by making a potential copypasta. Perhaps, your essay will become the new "Navy Seal Copypasta". By the way, welcome to the Internet, novice, where people can and will use words like "autistic" as an insult.
Oh look, it's that other guy who *only* accepts change! ...Instead of regular currency. ...Gotta say though, nice channel. Seriously, ladies! Gentlemen! Calm down. As much as I agree that Sonic stories can be very interesting, every good kid's game requires a simple origin- something that stands out in a way other ideas can't- which is a big reason why Nintendo holds its own in diverse concepts. Honestly, if we want to convince others of our opinions, let us be civil and by so doing make those opinions understood and respectfully acknowledged. Once our communications allow us to effectively connect rather than bash on others, perhaps the results will reflect well on our forms of society. Food for thought. :)
Really....So you guys jumped from Sonic Adventure 2 to Shadow the Hedgehog? Seriously, you guys left out Sonic Heroes, it chronologically came before the Shadow the Hedgehog, that's for sure.
+The Random Bats I had a section for Sonic Heroes written but had to exclude it. Only had 3 minutes and decided to go with the event I personally felt was the most related.
+Rowan Carroll It's not my favourite game but it's certainly underrated, I didn't hate the night stages and the day stages were AWESOME, and the plot was great (mostly)
+TheShadowspear2 Correct. In Sonic Heroes, a previously-thought-to-be-dead Shadow is found with amnesia in a lone hibernation capsule, which also happened to house a sleeping E-123 Omega, was discovered by Rouge. After reaching Eggman's Egg Carrier Fleet, Rouge found a stockpile of hibernation capsules full of robotic clones of Shadow, and doesn't tell him about it. In Shadow The Hedgehog the robot clones appear again, causing Shadow to question his legitimacy as the original since he has no memory of his past. Before the final battle, Eggman tells Shadow the truth of him not being a clone.
+ImaginativeCorndog Actually it's during the final battle...after NINE MINUTES OF FIGHTING THE FUCKING THING, WHICH MOST PEOPLE WOULD OF BEEN DONE SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE.
This is an *amazing* video! Great animation and explains the lore very well. Now people who didn't play Sonic games get to know the story and don't just assume the lore makes no sense whatsoever. But *PLEASE*, I'm begging you, do a part 2 covering the games from 06 to Lost World. Me and i'm pretty sure a lot of other people would love that. Also, one more thing: The comics *are* canon, but to their *own universes*, and they have *nothing* to do with the main games. Same with the cartoons, but each cartoon(Or anime in Sonic X's case) is in their own seperate universe.
***** True. It could be wrong. But still it explains a lot if my theory were true. I mean Eggman does seem like the last remaining Vault Tech scientist. He's an asshole and a genius. That pretty much covers all the character traits of Vault Tech.
let me try: shadow disappeared for some reason. then years later eggman gave sonic and friends a letter telling them that he has an ultimate weapon launching in 3 days. sonic finds eggman and beats him again. after that they figure its a fake and search for the real eggman. meanwhile rouge the bat was hunting down eggmans treasure and stumbles upon shadow. he breaks shadow free but he doesnt remember anything, upon finding shadow e 123 omega awakens and attacks shadow, but rouge stop them and make a team to find eggman. then somewhere else amy and friends want to find chocola and froggy coz why not, then in some other place the chaotix gets a message from someone who knows where eggman is. after a while they all meet up at the same place and the chaotix figures out that their client is eggman. eggman explains that metal sonic has reached some true form and is gonna destroy the world. sonic beats him. after that sonic was gonna have to fight eggman again coz (insert sonic 1 plot) but then he traps him and now hes a werehog. eggmam meets dark gia while sonic meets light. sonic beats dark gia. then eggman takes 5 planets and finally makes eggmanland. sonic and tails go to eggmanland to realize hes enslaving aliens and so sonic and tails beat his ass. again. then sonic meets his past self and eggman does as well. but eggman and pingas are controlling the timw eater. sonic and classic beat time eater. and now pingas and classic go back to theur original timelines. then eggman finds out about the deadly 6 and uses them to fight sonic as he makes a planet life sucking device. they turn their backs on him amd suck the life out of mobius. sonic fucks them all up the end. thats all i can think of (sonic 06 is technically not canon coz everything resets and so is boom. not canon)
Sonic's had many interpretations/storylines you can choose from. A couple of examples are: 1. The current Paramount movies. I actually wish we could get a "in 3 minutes" of them when the trilogy's complete. 2. The Archie Comics ( Based off Sonic Satam, but with more game elements mixed in. Due to having multiple writers and editors over the years, quality will depend on your preferences. Especially when you get to the Genesis Waves...) 3. The Fleetway Comics ( UK's take on the Sonic mythos. Sadly trades weren't printed for this series, though there's at least one TH-cam channel that reviews the series.) And there are more where they came from!
In what way did you come to the conclusion. If you actually took your time to look at the games and realise they are shit then yes i can agree to an extent, but if you just watched the game grumps play sonic adventure and come to the conclusion, no you are just an idiot.
+JoshFindsDiamond I would say it doesn't fit in considering sonic prevented things that happened in sonic 06.... in sonic 06.. so to me it really has no point of being there.. besides the fact that its broken
I'm not sure if I would really call Eggman's entrance into the facility holding Shadow to be an 'infiltration'. More like 'blowing up anything that gets in my way.'
wait sonic has a detailed complex plot? I mean if the games were any fun, and they didn't let shit like boom exist, sega would still be kicking and even fighting back against Nintendo. like this is a really good story with a lot of potential, that is ruined by shitty games
The Sonic games or story in order: 0:39 - 1:07 The Plan of Creating Shadow or Before Sonic Adventure 2 1:07 - 1:55 Sonic The Hedgehog 1 - 2 1:55 - 2:12 Sonic The Hedgehog 3 2:14 - 2:26 Sonic Adventure 1 2:27 - 2:57 Sonic Adventure 2 (If you think the next is Sonic Heroes then no) 2:57 - 3:13 Shadow The Hedgehog
Omg that was so perfect I think I'm gonna cry. You my friend are Sonic master!!!!! XD Lol!!!! Really couldn't have explained the timeline any better!! ;) You know your games, bro. But u forgot Sonic Heroes Sonic 06 Sonic and the Secret Rings, Unleashed and a lot more but at least you noticed that! Also, tbh explaining the WHOLE entire Sonic timeline is long and gets confusing at times, so I see your point. ;)
+Amy Nadal I actually reviewed those games and had written some parts for them . . . but they just didn't seem to be as related to the main story arch. Perhaps we can do a part 2 in the future.
I'm sorry but the fact that there is so much depth and transition, how the hell do you even know what is canon and what isn't? Why does it even matter?! It's all part of the same characters just in separate universes. The multiverse theory exists for Sonic, with how much has happened, it has to. Each game is its own universe now. There's NO way you can tell me shit is canon. I wish people would just stop saying this and just accept it's ALL canon in their own universes. I actually learned some new things so I really appreciate this being done. Thank you for teaching me some new things :)
Not really. They only had 3 minutes to explain it. Sonic Chronicles, Sonic Rush, Unleashed, etc. are relevant too. For example, Chronicles tells the story of another technologically advanced echidna clan that tried to take over the world under the leadership of Imperator Ix.
+Z1LL4 JR thats why i like unleashed except for empire city cause that hub world is small as heck. but i like sonic adventure's hub worlds cause they're bigger but unleashed's hub worlds have more details.
sonic 1,2,3, sonic adventure 1,2 sonic heroes, shadow, (06 didnt even happen) sonic unleashed, Sonic colors, sonic generations, and sonic forces. (i dont know where lost world comes in so thats why i didnt add that game and the boom games arent even canon either)
Actually, the Shadow that killed Black Doom is the original. If you wait long enough in the final boss fight, Eggman will confirm that Shadow is the original.
Because giving them the chaos emeralds would have allowed Black Doom to enact his plan to plant the Black Comet on Earth and enslave/eat the humans and anthro hedgehogs.
+Aero4576 Of course the comics would say that the games are a part of "their" canon . . . but would the games say the same thing about the comics? I doubt it. I won't make any assumptions though until an official statement is made.
+Aero4576 I love the comics. In my opinion the plot is so much more entertaining than most of the games or television shows because they are stand alone. In the comics nearly every event has interesting backstory and can even be the result of previous events which they will reference. I also like how they handled the reboot of the series which maintains that the previous world's reconstitution was messed up by Eggman resulting in an alternate timeline that more closely resembles events from games but still has several characters retaining their memories of the unaltered timeline.
+Aero4576 ...If they're a part of the multiverse than they are not part of THAT canon. They have their own canon which is not part of the MAIN canon. Marvel's Comic Universe is canon, but so is the movie universe, but they're not the same thing. Hence why he said they're not canon.
Not even 3d-only. Just in sonic 1 try to just hold right forever, you get killed in like 5 seconds (and there's also the fact there's stages like marble, labyrinth and scrap brain that makes you go in all 4 directions) ...just sayin
***** Cosmic Fall? Yeah that's one of the harder stages, but me and my friend, we spent a LOT of time on that stage and now we're kind of pros on there :P We know all the shortcuts and stuff heheh, some are even unintended. And for that reason I absolutely LOVE that stage. First go though, it was horrifying... .-.
Not _entirely_ accurate. Gerald made the "ultimate life form" to learn how to use it's immortality to cure Maria of her illness. Other than that, this is pretty much the entire plot of Sonic. Also, personally, I like to pretend Shadow the Hedgehog (the game, not the character) never happened. So.. that never happened. We don't talk about that.
Wait a minute. South island has greenhill zone, Sa2 city escape which is San Francisco in IRL has green hill zone off the coast of it. so wouldn't south island be by the United Federation?
+SmashBits Yeah, I was wondering about that map. Do you know where that image was pulled from/who made it? Or did somebody on your team make that? Cuz I am actually interested in forming a comprehensive world map that accurately depicts all the places in the main sonic games.
I made the image myself (Rick). I did a google search for "Sonic map" and just a lot of research into the different versions. The main continents in mine are primarily inspired by Shadow the Hedgehog world map.MastaGambit
SmashBits Are you saying I don't have a youtube account? By the way, it's kinda hard to understand you, because I don't know if you mean "Save", or "Say".
The comics and cartoons _are_ canon, just in their own universes. Common misconception. Also, you got many other bits of the chronology incorrect, but I don't feel like wasting extra time to go over every little detail.
Putting Sonic Mania into this: Some time after Sonic destroyed the Death Egg, he detected some strange signals coming from Angel Island. Sonic and Tails go to investigate, but Robotnik's robots have already arrived and dug up the Phantom Ruby. Moments after it was dug up, it warped Sonic and the robots, as well as Knuckles who happened to be nearby, to Green Hill, and transformed the robots into the Hard-Boiled Heavies. The Phantom Ruby warps Sonic to places he's been in before as he reclaims the Chaos Emeralds again. After Sonic beats Robotnik in Titanic Monarch, Robotnik uses the Phantom Ruby to transport himself, Sonic and the King Heavy to an unknown area. They all fight over the Phantom Ruby, and Sonic destroys both the King Heavy and Robotnik's machine, then the Phantom Ruby transports Sonic to much later in the future. He teams up with the Sonic from that time and some other character. Once his business is done, he returns back to his own time.
so in short Eggman is not really a bad guy but he is a total idiot with no common sense, and Sonic although not evil is a bit of a Douche canoe(i would have been like sure Eggy take the emeralds and blow those and fuckers off the map for killing your daughter) i just see Sonic as a pest that keeps getting in the way of justice because he's a weenie, but he has to keep cleaning up the mess that Eggman keeps creating because well Eggman's actually a moron that try's to make deals and manipulate all powerful world destroying creatures to get revenge at any cost,this story is a dark comedy in my eyes =p
+Bloodbane2099 u realize eggman doesn't have a daughter ur thinking of robotnic and in the games sonic never fights robotnic cuz he wasn't even born yet. Egg man just wants to be a brilliant scientist like his grandfather as well as take over the world because he thinks he deserves to rule.
***** That comes out of nowhere. It's only foreshadowing (ba-dum-tss) Shadow the Hedgehog. You can skip over Heroes and still get everything because Heroes does everything for the gameplay.
Yup, the cool original(first clone?) Shadow that most liked died at the end of Adventure 2 & then in Hero's a clone was found aka current Shadow that likes vehicles & guns. It explains that there are many clones of Shadow in that one game that no one likes, Shadow the Hedgehog.
My head cannon is that the Shadow in Sonic Heroes is actually just one of the clones, and is different from the Shadow in Shadow the Hedgehog, who is the real, genuine Shadow.
"Not the comic books-"
>Literally dives into the comic book back story of why Sonic's world is like it is.
Good job there.
Well the map of the world in shadow the hedgehog is pretty much a slightly altert earth map and pretty much every continuity beside the game at one point says that the planet is ether earth in the future (Archi comics, Ova, original plan for satam) or use to be a part of earth (Sonic X and as far as I know also Flettway comics) so using this as the Basics at least doesn't sound
too far-fetched
The Jester - Fool Of Hearts exactly
@The Jester - Fool Of Hearts Or it just exists in a discontinuous universe... Like most things.
But it does make sense after reading and tying in the games. Sure it's sloppy but that's how DC comics are with Injustice and Earth Prime. None of it ties in but add a Multiverse theory and you got yourself so many fans of different storylines
At least they didn't mention the Xorda.
sonic pin ball was pretty important for the time line....
I've NEVER played sonic *pinball* , but I've seen a gameplay of it, and I think it's AWESOME! So got THAT right, pal!

So true it was. The comic was back before Dr. Eggman when he was Ivo Robotnik. It was initially a tower that Sonic had to play in in order to stop his nemesis
They clearly forgot sonic shuffle
Don't forget Sonic Labyrinth.
this made me very happy. I love how once the emeralds are found they are just constantly switching hands

You said important way too many times
I only said it twice
I think sonic CD may be the 4th in the series chronology. Metal Sonic isn't bulky like previous designs, THe idea of Eggman making a robot like Sonic...is well to make a robot that looked, and had the speed, strengh and agility, if not better, hence today sonic fans say it's one of eggman's best creations.

But ended in an odd and dark way.

This is the story from game 1 all the way to
Shadow the hedgehog. The original Sonic story seems to truly end after Sonic 06 though if you ask me.
+dennis robinson The story is that YOU'RE TOO SLOW
You can usually tell what game takes place when by the characters that are involved in it or what plane tails is using.
Well, not exactly. Unleashed, Colors, Generations, and Lost World can only happen after Shadow the Hedgehog.
+Darthlucy1 Why say that? Did I miss a detail?
Metalks The Tornado was actually repaired in Unleashed after Eggman shot it down in Adventure. Colors takes place after Unleashed. Generations is the biggest reason why these 4 games can only take place after Shadow: First off, Rouge is present at Sonic's birthday; which means that it can only happen after she's met Sonic. Then there is the appearance of Shadow; who outright says Sonic's name before the final boss. That means that enough time would have had to pass after SA2, Heroes, and Shadow for Shadow to know Sonic's name. Then there is Silver and Blaze knowing Sonic in Generations. As '06 (timeline 1), Rivals and Rush (timeline 2, where '06 was erased) can only happen after Shadow, this means that Generations happens after Shadow, Also for Generations, it takes place after Colors as Eggman leaves Orbot and Cubot behind in space after discovering Time Eater.
Lost World takes place after Generations.
What evidence is there that Lost World takes place after Generations? I knew Generations was late because... obviously the cast, but I played through Lost World and I don't recall any call backs.
The presence or Orbot, Cubot, and the Wisps. Sonic first encounters the Wisps in Colors and Generations happens right after Colors.
"not the comic books or cartoons"
"modern day Earth is destroyed, 30 million years later, animals evolve"
What? It have been said what it's video game storyline, but for some reason Sonic Satam and Sonic Archie storyline used? What?
what? sonic lives on mobius i those...
21kHzBANK21kHZ In Sonic Archie (early Archie, or Pre-Super Genesis Wave Archie) it was clearly stated what Mobius is a post-apocalyptic Earth. Earth was destroyed by alien race Xorda, because humans (who was led by Dr. Robotnik ancestor) captured they're ambassador and dissected him. Xorda (who already was an easy pissed off race) used some kind of genebombs, which completely annihilated most of the humans and thrown Earth back to "primordial soup". In the end human and animal DNA mixed up and life on Earth (which was now named as Mobius by everyone for some dumb reason) re-evolved, but this time humans wasn't the only pinnacle of evolution. They had to share this place with "mobians". Complicated? Well... You can thank Ken Penders and Karl Bollers for that.
In Sonic Satam it never was stated in-universe what Mobius was Earth, but Ben Hurst later said himself what Mobius was Earth thousand years into future. Because of nuclear holocaust humans gone completely extinct, but animals survived and mutated into sentient beings. Robotnik and Snively is all what left of humanity, because they weren't on Earth, they were on some space colony. Long story short, Robotnik tried to takeover colony, but wind up destroying everything and left to Earth to find out what time was moving rather slow in space and he came into future populated by animals.
Dr. Eggman
Wow I could've sworn I read somewhere that Mobius was an entirely different planet. At least it is in Sonic X.
21kHzBANK21kHZ Mobius is confirmed to be an entirely different planet in Sonic the Comic, but it's linked to Earth, because they are "sister planets". Mobius is considered as an entirely different planet in AOSTH, some other western comics or books and Sonic Underground.
Sonic's World in Sonic X isn't Mobius, because "Mobius" as a name for the world of Sonic and his friends used only in western media, but this world also somehow linked to Earth, because Dr. Eggman was born on Earth and Chaos Control teleported everyone to Earth.
Planet Freedom in Sonic OVA could be considered post-apocalyptic Earth too, because of all those New York-esque buildings.
In games and Archie (latest Archie, Post Super-Genesis Wave) Sonic lives on not-Earth, which was called simply as World, Planet or Sonic's World (how it's officially called now). It was also called Earth in English translations on several occasions, but it's presumed what it was a simple mistranslation.
Dr. Eggman
Actually didn't Iizuka or someone confirm that Sonic in the games lives on Earth
Sonic heroes actually takes place directly after SA2, and it could be considered SA3. It goes as far as mentioning Chaos from Sonic 1 and Froggy swallowing a part of it.
sonic heroes isnt SA3 sure it took place after SA2 but even though it took place after that doesnt mean its SA3
Remember the story about a hedgehog trying to save forest animals? Can we go back to that please.
No.
Sonic stories are actually pretty fucking awesome.

+James F Woah dude, you didn't have to write an essay about her wrong use of the term "autistic"...
You could've just said "Hey, Autism is a disease, not an insult.".
At least you've contributed to the Internet by making a potential copypasta. Perhaps, your essay will become the new "Navy Seal Copypasta".
By the way, welcome to the Internet, novice, where people can and will use words like "autistic" as an insult.
+Giovanni Costa Oh look, it's the stupid purist that can't accept change.
Oh look, it's that other guy who *only* accepts change!
...Instead of regular currency.
...Gotta say though, nice channel.
Seriously, ladies! Gentlemen! Calm down. As much as I agree that Sonic stories can be very interesting, every good kid's game requires a simple origin- something that stands out in a way other ideas can't- which is a big reason why Nintendo holds its own in diverse concepts. Honestly, if we want to convince others of our opinions, let us be civil and by so doing make those opinions understood and respectfully acknowledged. Once our communications allow us to effectively connect rather than bash on others, perhaps the results will reflect well on our forms of society. Food for thought. :)
"Gerald's daughter"
*cough* Uh, that's GRANDdaughter, actually.
Lol I noticed that too! Must've been because of the rush to speak so quickly.
+Trogadorsaysay2
So is Maria and Eggman brother-and-sister or just cousins?
I mean, they're both Gerald's grandchildren...
munny moore
I believe they're just cousins.
+Trogadorsaysay2 In Sonic Adventure 2 they are cousins. I believe Eggman even says it himself at some point.
I hope they make a Sonic Adventure 3 soon
actually, sonic 06' was meant to be sonic adventure 3...
Maybe for the 30th anniversary
probably. either that or the new sonic generations they announced a little while back
+rebecca allison no the new "sonic generations" comes out next year
ohhhh. then yeah probably for the 30th
1: Sonic 1
2: Sonic 2
3: Sonic 3 and Knuckles
4: Sonic Adventure
5: Sonic Adventure 2
6: Shadow
He skipped CD, Unleashed, Colours, Generations, Mania and Forces.
@@dinohermann1887don’t even get started on the handhelds and more so obscure titles…
Never knew the story to Sonic was so interesting. Shame the games are such a letdown.
Really....So you guys jumped from Sonic Adventure 2 to Shadow the Hedgehog? Seriously, you guys left out Sonic Heroes, it chronologically came before the Shadow the Hedgehog, that's for sure.
+The Random Bats I had a section for Sonic Heroes written but had to exclude it. Only had 3 minutes and decided to go with the event I personally felt was the most related.
SmashBits Just felt strange that you wouldn't include Sonic Heroes in chronology, that's all. Sorry about my reaction.
nice work. i think that Sonic Cd, Knucles and chaotix and Sonic Heroes should be there too, as part of main story line
it's sonic x face palm
and sonic adventure 2
Fred bear
sonic adventure 2 is part of this video yet
Giovanni Gianluca Reina ikr
sonic cd was actually in the archie comix universe. i think
I like how shadow initiating the collision course or initiating the canon beam is just him pressing a button on an old computer keyboard
"I have a very powerful"-Dr Robotnik
PINGAS!
am I the only person who likes unleashed
+Rowan Carroll i do too
I love Unleashed!
+Rowan Carroll It's not my favourite game but it's certainly underrated, I didn't hate the night stages and the day stages were AWESOME, and the plot was great (mostly)
no i love unleashed
Z1LL4 JR people can’t have an Opinion?
Gotta go fast
Sigh*
getta ge fest
+Raging Impulse fucking... really?
Raging Impulse you're not funny.
+Raging Impulse it's *fest* not fast you dumb shit
You missed Sonic Heroes
+TheShadowspear2 Correct. In Sonic Heroes, a previously-thought-to-be-dead Shadow is found with amnesia in a lone hibernation capsule, which also happened to house a sleeping E-123 Omega, was discovered by Rouge. After reaching Eggman's Egg Carrier Fleet, Rouge found a stockpile of hibernation capsules full of robotic clones of Shadow, and doesn't tell him about it.
In Shadow The Hedgehog the robot clones appear again, causing Shadow to question his legitimacy as the original since he has no memory of his past. Before the final battle, Eggman tells Shadow the truth of him not being a clone.
***** Exactly
Nobody misses Sonic Heroes.
SiegeTF nobody that you know of
+ImaginativeCorndog Actually it's during the final battle...after NINE MINUTES OF FIGHTING THE FUCKING THING, WHICH MOST PEOPLE WOULD OF BEEN DONE SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE.
My history is: Eggman captured animal. Sonic said “imma kick ur ass” and does a lot.
3:08 Movie Sonic (Old Design)....
Your welcome...
This is an *amazing* video! Great animation and explains the lore very well. Now people who didn't play Sonic games get to know the story and don't just assume the lore makes no sense whatsoever.
But *PLEASE*, I'm begging you, do a part 2 covering the games from 06 to Lost World. Me and i'm pretty sure a lot of other people would love that.
Also, one more thing:
The comics *are* canon, but to their *own universes*, and they have *nothing* to do with the main games. Same with the cartoons, but each cartoon(Or anime in Sonic X's case) is in their own seperate universe.
+George Miles ayyy it's you!
So basically, Sonic wins everytime...
Basically it's the same story every game with new characters added.
Isn’t this technically just the Story of the Classic Games and Adventure Games?
Wouldn't it be funny if Sonic took place in the same universe ad Fallout. I mean there's a good 30 million year for some crazy shit to go down.
Exactly
***** True. It could be wrong. But still it explains a lot if my theory were true. I mean Eggman does seem like the last remaining Vault Tech scientist. He's an asshole and a genius. That pretty much covers all the character traits of Vault Tech.
tman008 your profile picture is killing me XD
Eggman rebuilds Liberty Prime
Same as Half-Life xD
let me try:
shadow disappeared for some reason.
then years later eggman gave sonic and friends a letter telling them that he has an ultimate weapon launching in 3 days. sonic finds eggman and beats him again. after that they figure its a fake and search for the real eggman. meanwhile rouge the bat was hunting down eggmans treasure and stumbles upon shadow. he breaks shadow free but he doesnt remember anything, upon finding shadow e 123 omega awakens and attacks shadow, but rouge stop them and make a team to find eggman. then somewhere else amy and friends want to find chocola and froggy coz why not, then in some other place the chaotix gets a message from someone who knows where eggman is. after a while they all meet up at the same place and the chaotix figures out that their client is eggman. eggman explains that metal sonic has reached some true form and is gonna destroy the world. sonic beats him. after that sonic was gonna have to fight eggman again coz (insert sonic 1 plot) but then he traps him and now hes a werehog. eggmam meets dark gia while sonic meets light. sonic beats dark gia. then eggman takes 5 planets and finally makes eggmanland. sonic and tails go to eggmanland to realize hes enslaving aliens and so sonic and tails beat his ass. again. then sonic meets his past self and eggman does as well. but eggman and pingas are controlling the timw eater. sonic and classic beat time eater. and now pingas and classic go back to theur original timelines. then eggman finds out about the deadly 6 and uses them to fight sonic as he makes a planet life sucking device. they turn their backs on him amd suck the life out of mobius. sonic fucks them all up the end. thats all i can think of (sonic 06 is technically not canon coz everything resets and so is boom. not canon)
MakoGP rouge is a she
i never knew sonic had a plot, let alone such an interesting sounding one :o
Try the comics because it only gets better!
Sonic's had many interpretations/storylines you can choose from. A couple of examples are:
1. The current Paramount movies. I actually wish we could get a "in 3 minutes" of them when the trilogy's complete.
2. The Archie Comics ( Based off Sonic Satam, but with more game elements mixed in. Due to having multiple writers and editors over the years, quality will depend on your preferences. Especially when you get to the Genesis Waves...)
3. The Fleetway Comics ( UK's take on the Sonic mythos. Sadly trades weren't printed for this series, though there's at least one TH-cam channel that reviews the series.)
And there are more where they came from!
the funny thing is... the plot seems rather awesome, too bad the games fucking suck
+Pablo Erdmenger The genesis games don't. The games after the Genesis, yes, they do suck.
sonic unleashed sucks? Funny stuff
AHH IM A WEREWOLF
Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure were great.
In what way did you come to the conclusion.
If you actually took your time to look at the games and realise they are shit then yes i can agree to an extent, but if you just watched the game grumps play sonic adventure and come to the conclusion, no you are just an idiot.
Please do a part 2. I know you can fit a few more in there.
Like.... Sonic 06?
+JoshFindsDiamond I would say it doesn't fit in considering sonic prevented things that happened in sonic 06.... in sonic 06.. so to me it really has no point of being there.. besides the fact that its broken
+JoshFindsDiamond YES. He should do one more from 06 to Lost World. I think 3 minutes is enough time to cover their stories. I think...
Yes
+JoshFindsDiamond This one has like eight or nine games in it. How many would need to be in part 2?
I'm not sure if I would really call Eggman's entrance into the facility holding Shadow to be an 'infiltration'. More like 'blowing up anything that gets in my way.'
Man, the Sonic timeline is more complicated and weirder than I thought...
gerald was marias grandfather... she calls him grandfather...
and?
he said daughter
GRANDDAD FLEENSTONES.
So could Maria had been the sister of Eggman?
eng3d maybe, or cousin who knows
wait sonic has a detailed complex plot? I mean if the games were any fun, and they didn't let shit like boom exist, sega would still be kicking and even fighting back against Nintendo. like this is a really good story with a lot of potential, that is ruined by shitty games
Sadly, the reason these shitty sonic games exist is because of bitter lawsuits from companies and whatnot
Isaac Russo that sucks
And also this is somewhat a fixed timeline, so it is still a pretty confusing history.
+Isaac Russo What the heck are you talking about?! There are no lawsuits
What the hell are you talking about "detailed complex plot"? Do you even read books? This is such a straightforward storyline.
Maria is Gerald's granddaughter and Robotnik's cousin. Not Gerald's daughter.
Basically I'm saying sonic takes place millions of years after the fallout series.
The Sonic games or story in order:
0:39 - 1:07 The Plan of Creating Shadow or Before Sonic Adventure 2
1:07 - 1:55 Sonic The Hedgehog 1 - 2
1:55 - 2:12 Sonic The Hedgehog 3
2:14 - 2:26 Sonic Adventure 1
2:27 - 2:57 Sonic Adventure 2
(If you think the next is Sonic Heroes then no)
2:57 - 3:13 Shadow The Hedgehog
It's Ivo (pronounced eye voe) not Evo.
I voe
Omg that was so perfect I think I'm gonna cry. You my friend are Sonic master!!!!! XD Lol!!!! Really couldn't have explained the timeline any better!! ;) You know your games, bro. But u forgot Sonic Heroes Sonic 06 Sonic and the Secret Rings, Unleashed and a lot more but at least you noticed that! Also, tbh explaining the WHOLE entire Sonic timeline is long and gets confusing at times, so I see your point. ;)
ikr
+Sardonyx 06 ^^
Fuck 06
+Mike The Dog lol, true! XD
+Amy Nadal I actually reviewed those games and had written some parts for them . . . but they just didn't seem to be as related to the main story arch. Perhaps we can do a part 2 in the future.
Entire Sonic story in 8 seconds:
Scientist traps animals, hedgehog beats him. The end
We KNOW that the comics and cartoons aren't canon...because they're mortars.
As someone who was/is a lot into Sonic involving the story, or at least from past games before Colors honestly, this is pretty accurate!
0:15 WELL TJAT ESCALATED QUICKLY
My favorite Sonic Game is the one where he becomes a werewolf...
Ha, you thought I was being serious
u mean sonic unleashed.....
+Ricardo Mendoza
Only someone who hasn't played Sonic Unleashed would make such a trash joke.
The Ry Cook yeah, that game was actualy pretty cool
+Doom guy,slayer,marine yea i agree that game is awesome
I thought sonic was just about a blue hedgehog running around really fast collecting gold rings n shit.
This must have more meaning to it... *I GOTTA SEARCH MORE OF IT*
or don't because weird sonic fan arts... meh...
The captions are hilarious good job!
I'm sorry but the fact that there is so much depth and transition, how the hell do you even know what is canon and what isn't? Why does it even matter?! It's all part of the same characters just in separate universes. The multiverse theory exists for Sonic, with how much has happened, it has to. Each game is its own universe now. There's NO way you can tell me shit is canon. I wish people would just stop saying this and just accept it's ALL canon in their own universes.
I actually learned some new things so I really appreciate this being done. Thank you for teaching me some new things :)
so basically sonic 1-3, sonic adventure 1+ 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog are the only canonically relevant games
k
Not really. They only had 3 minutes to explain it. Sonic Chronicles, Sonic Rush, Unleashed, etc. are relevant too. For example, Chronicles tells the story of another technologically advanced echidna clan that tried to take over the world under the leadership of Imperator Ix.
+Z1LL4 JR thats why i like unleashed except for empire city cause that hub world is small as heck. but i like sonic adventure's hub worlds cause they're bigger but unleashed's hub worlds have more details.
sonic 1,2,3, sonic adventure 1,2 sonic heroes, shadow, (06 didnt even happen) sonic unleashed, Sonic colors, sonic generations, and sonic forces.
(i dont know where lost world comes in so thats why i didnt add that game and the boom games arent even canon either)
During the map parts, you can see the areas from Unleashed but that's about it from games after ShTH.
So Sonic is basically from Australia? Well that explains a lot.
I read somewhere that the primary influences for Sonic's homeworld, especially the wild life, was based on a mixture of Australia and Asia.
***** isn't that where the Tuatara is? Also where they shot Lord of the Rings, and the guy who played Jango Fett?
More like New Zealand tho
I'm australian lol
Australia does have a lot of overly large creatures, doesn't it?
Why was nothing mentioned about the death of Shadow and his various clones? One of his clones destroyed black doom, who was mentioned here.
Actually, the Shadow that killed Black Doom is the original.
If you wait long enough in the final boss fight, Eggman will confirm that Shadow is the original.
What about Sonic Heroes, World Adventure/Unleashed, Colors, Generations, and Lost World?
i love how they destroy the aliens rather than giving them the emeralds that was promised
Sebastien Napoleon then you have no idea how powerful they are the chaos emeralds are powerful gems that are dangerous in the wrong hands
Because giving them the chaos emeralds would have allowed Black Doom to enact his plan to plant the Black Comet on Earth and enslave/eat the humans and anthro hedgehogs.
OI THEY ARE TOO CANON! THEY JUST TAKE PLACE IN DIFFERENT UNIVERSES. The comics involve the multiverse theory.
+Aero4576 Which fanboys don't even know what multiverse means, but yeah. I agree.
+Aero4576 Of course the comics would say that the games are a part of "their" canon . . . but would the games say the same thing about the comics? I doubt it. I won't make any assumptions though until an official statement is made.
+Aero4576 They're about as canon as the Ken Penders canon.
+Aero4576 I love the comics. In my opinion the plot is so much more entertaining than most of the games or television shows because they are stand alone. In the comics nearly every event has interesting backstory and can even be the result of previous events which they will reference. I also like how they handled the reboot of the series which maintains that the previous world's reconstitution was messed up by Eggman resulting in an alternate timeline that more closely resembles events from games but still has several characters retaining their memories of the unaltered timeline.
+Aero4576 ...If they're a part of the multiverse than they are not part of THAT canon. They have their own canon which is not part of the MAIN canon. Marvel's Comic Universe is canon, but so is the movie universe, but they're not the same thing. Hence why he said they're not canon.
WRONG!!! Maria is Gerald Robotnik's GRANDDAUGHTER.
Also she is Eggman's cousin.
The Entire Sonic Story in 3 WORDS: Hold ▶ forever.
NickelCityPixels Try doing that in a 3D game...I wish you luck my man
Not even 3d-only. Just in sonic 1 try to just hold right forever, you get killed in like 5 seconds (and there's also the fact there's stages like marble, labyrinth and scrap brain that makes you go in all 4 directions)
...just sayin
no
Mellon When this guy commented, Sonic Forces hadn't been released...
And with that, you covered like...two story arcs ;'D
Seriously though, good narration!
Sounds like the perfect summary for a Sonic Adaptational Comic; all the important elements, none of the bullshit.
SONIC IS FROM NEW ZEALAND YAYUHHH
wait if Sonic is from new zealand then why isnt he popular in new zealand
Maria was Gerald's granddaughter, not his daughter. She was Eggman's cousin
The franchise should be called Shadow The Hedgehog because literally he's 90% of the cool stuff xD
***** Well hopefully it'll be not as badly recieved as the 2005 Shadow The Hedgehog :P
***** Yeah, I know, I actually love the game, but I can also see why other people don't. I guess they don't want that kind of edginess.
***** Cosmic Fall? Yeah that's one of the harder stages, but me and my friend, we spent a LOT of time on that stage and now we're kind of pros on there :P
We know all the shortcuts and stuff heheh, some are even unintended. And for that reason I absolutely LOVE that stage. First go though, it was horrifying... .-.
+Onaterdem no
+Tominator Gaming Main Title Not Spinoff
Maria is Gerald's GRAND DAUGHTER, not daughter.
Why are there humans in Sonic Adventures games, and at the same time there are those furry people in Forces?
Not _entirely_ accurate. Gerald made the "ultimate life form" to learn how to use it's immortality to cure Maria of her illness. Other than that, this is pretty much the entire plot of Sonic.
Also, personally, I like to pretend Shadow the Hedgehog (the game, not the character) never happened. So.. that never happened. We don't talk about that.
vissova Shadow the Hedgehog wasn't that bad of a game. Sonic 2006 however......
Maria wasn't Gerald's daughter she was is grand daughter and Robotink's cousin
WAIT. Sonic is a New Zealander?
...future New Zealander...
Yay.
He's always sounded a little like one.
This Video Is Good But You Forgot Sonic CD
Actually there are like 80 different fucking canon universes at this point
Wait a minute. South island has greenhill zone, Sa2 city escape which is San Francisco in IRL has green hill zone off the coast of it. so wouldn't south island be by the United Federation?
+Xeljaro Honestly, there are different maps in different games that contradict each other. Consistency is not perfect so we did the best we could.
+SmashBits Yeah, I was wondering about that map. Do you know where that image was pulled from/who made it? Or did somebody on your team make that? Cuz I am actually interested in forming a comprehensive world map that accurately depicts all the places in the main sonic games.
I made the image myself (Rick). I did a google search for "Sonic map" and just a lot of research into the different versions. The main continents in mine are primarily inspired by Shadow the Hedgehog world map.MastaGambit
SmashBits
Ah. Cool beans.
+The Prototype Do believe all what a guy on youtube says.
Am I the only one who never subscribes to someone just because someone told me to, or they made a good video that I happened to watch?
+Tristan Four I'd save ever single person that doesn't have a youtube account is just like you.
SmashBits Are you saying I don't have a youtube account? By the way, it's kinda hard to understand you, because I don't know if you mean "Save", or "Say".
Hah hah hah your right. I did write the wrong word there. LOL; sure I guess I'd also like to rescue every single person without a youtube account.
SmashBits Wait, so are you saying I don't have an account? because if I made this comment, doesn't that mean I have an account? -.-
I'm confusing you by being confusing. I'm sorry. I was not saying that no. :-p
The comics and cartoons _are_ canon, just in their own universes.
Common misconception.
Also, you got many other bits of the chronology incorrect, but I don't feel like wasting extra time to go over every little detail.
This is great. Thanks for making this
after more than 11 years of waiting i finaly know why half the moon blew up, thanks guys
lol it only went to Shadow The Hedgehog idk why Sonic Colors wasn't included though I can see why 06 and Unleashed wasn't but
06 Was a reboot and colours had an awful story Although unleashed should of been included
+smatar Hirad i agree with you
0:43 I don't like the way you said black
Matoi Nero
but they are called black in the game
Kelvin Melo
Watch Game Grumps mate :p
wait wat about dr.eggman nega does anybody even remember him ? from sonic rush the ds game anybody?
of course i do. and rush was the FIRST game to introduce the boost to a 2d Sonic game. and it was pretty ok imo.
This is making me proud to be a Sonic the Hedgehog fan. :)
Putting Sonic Mania into this:
Some time after Sonic destroyed the Death Egg, he detected some strange signals coming from Angel Island. Sonic and Tails go to investigate, but Robotnik's robots have already arrived and dug up the Phantom Ruby. Moments after it was dug up, it warped Sonic and the robots, as well as Knuckles who happened to be nearby, to Green Hill, and transformed the robots into the Hard-Boiled Heavies. The Phantom Ruby warps Sonic to places he's been in before as he reclaims the Chaos Emeralds again. After Sonic beats Robotnik in Titanic Monarch, Robotnik uses the Phantom Ruby to transport himself, Sonic and the King Heavy to an unknown area. They all fight over the Phantom Ruby, and Sonic destroys both the King Heavy and Robotnik's machine, then the Phantom Ruby transports Sonic to much later in the future. He teams up with the Sonic from that time and some other character. Once his business is done, he returns back to his own time.
1:02 granddaughter not daughter
what the fuck? this story is more convoluted then mgs.
this sounds like sonic x show
thats because they put chaos in there
basicly sonic adventure 1-2 is in the sonic x story
Congrats arcade cloud you hit 1 million subscribers
The Sonic 1-2 timeline is inaccurate, you missed Sonic CD, that game took place between both Sonic 1&2
so in short Eggman is not really a bad guy but he is a total idiot with no common sense, and Sonic although not evil is a bit of a Douche canoe(i would have been like sure Eggy take the emeralds and blow those and fuckers off the map for killing your daughter) i just see Sonic as a pest that keeps getting in the way of justice because he's a weenie, but he has to keep cleaning up the mess that Eggman keeps creating because well Eggman's actually a moron that try's to make deals and manipulate all powerful world destroying creatures to get revenge at any cost,this story is a dark comedy in my eyes =p
✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋👅👅👅
+Bloodbane2099 u realize eggman doesn't have a daughter ur thinking of robotnic and in the games sonic never fights robotnic cuz he wasn't even born yet. Egg man just wants to be a brilliant scientist like his grandfather as well as take over the world because he thinks he deserves to rule.
+ElswordKcINC egg man is a nick name. of course robotnic's grandson is still called robotnic. i agree with the rest of your comment though.
stammesbruder not in the games eggman isn't called robotnic. eggmans grandfather is named robotnic while eggman is eggman.
+ElswordKcINC Eggman real name is Ivo Robotnik and Eggman is a Nickname in actual canon, in japanese canon he was only Eggman before Sonic Adventure 1
they didn't do sonic heros
Heroes barely had a plot
***** That comes out of nowhere. It's only foreshadowing (ba-dum-tss) Shadow the Hedgehog. You can skip over Heroes and still get everything because Heroes does everything for the gameplay.
Samir Malik 10/10 pun
uhhh sonic heroes takes place soon after adventure 2
Yup, the cool original(first clone?) Shadow that most liked died at the end of Adventure 2 & then in Hero's a clone was found aka current Shadow that likes vehicles & guns. It explains that there are many clones of Shadow in that one game that no one likes, Shadow the Hedgehog.
he didn't, during the final boss fight in shadow the hedgehog eggman reveals to shadow the he is the shadow from sonic adventure 2
Really? cant remember so well for how long its been so you might be right lol
look it up
My head cannon is that the Shadow in Sonic Heroes is actually just one of the clones, and is different from the Shadow in Shadow the Hedgehog, who is the real, genuine Shadow.
So much knowledge that I didn’t have.
Bruh this is so advanced, I realized Sonic is Science Fiction and Futurism
