      I only have two problems with all the references (and even then, they're just nitpicks). First is the fact that Sticks is from an alternate continuity, and yet Amy mentions her in the ending as if they already know each other. Granted, she probably has a counterpart in this continuity, so you could excuse it with 'only Amy (and possibly Cream) knows Sticks in this universe'.
      Second is the fact that it makes it harder for newcomers (like my Dad) to get into it. I'm doing my best to explain everything he needs to know to him, but it's hard to do that without getting into all the discourse involving the previous games, and I think I'm losing him.

    • @BunnyTPerson

      @@MattTOB618 that's some fair criticism, but i belive that the referenced were there just for the newcomers to learn that the franchise is way deeper than people used to belive.
      Also, Sticks technically already existed on that reality, but only on Spinoffs like "Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympics Games", and "Sonic Runers", but i agree that she needed a better introduction first.

      While I like the many references Sonic makes knowing it's proper acknowledgment of what's canon, it still rings hollow to me because there's too many. It starts to feel less like a cheeky wink saying "remember this?!" And instead starts feeling like a nostalgia checklist and that mainly leaves me feeling indifferent to these references because of Sonic Team's past over reliance on nostalgia. It feels less genuine and more just an attempt to win fans over, if that makes sense.

    After reading about Whisper a few days ago (a wolf sniper who lost her friends to a tragic betrayal but who continues to fight for good), I'd love to see Tangle and Whisper introduced in future games. They're very different personalities to the usual Team Sonic roster and the new dynamics (very energetic Tangle vs No nonsense Knuckles, outgoing Sonic and quiet Whisper) could be interesting.

    Why wouldn’t Dark Gaia and Chip be canon? They were part of the main story of a mainline game. I’m confused why you’d make a big deal about them being canon, which they always were, but just casually mention that the game confirms Sticks The Badger is canon when she had only appeared in a spin-off, side series.

      I know I had the exact same reaction, for many references to previous titles. Like, Sonic Boom, canon to the rest? It was clearly meant as a soft reboot, so it's weird to try to include it now. Colors? That one doesn't even look like a Sonic game.
      The very idea of making every Sonic game canon is stupid. Sonic has never built up a world. There is no "unified Sonic universe". Each game was its own thing. And it's fine, world-building is not mandatory.
      These references are cool to hear though.

    So many cool references in the game! I love how you set it up so that every reference lead into another one, it felt super cohesive. Two more that spring to mind is in the Egg Memo that mentions the United Federation and Planet Donpa Kingdom, Eggman mentions EggNet, which is another reference to the comics!
    While this one isn't confirmed, I'm convinced that Find Your Flame, the song that plays during the fight with the Knight Titan, has a melody line that references Infinite's theme from Forces, and it's even performed by the same artist, Tyler Smyth.

    Here's a couple more you missed:
    At the start of the game, when Sonic first stands up after escaping Cyber Space for the first time, he makes a pose that looks so similar to the action stance he makes in Sonic Adventure, that i'd count it as a reference.
    Also, in that same Egg Memo which confimed TSR as canon, an "EggNet" is mentioned. The EggNet is an Eggman Empire communications network that has until now only been mentioned and a kind of significant plot device in the IDW comics. The "Bad Guys" miniseries has been the piece of Sonic media that has explored this concept to it's fullest so far.

    There is a reference you missed. When Sonic first talked to the elder Koco on the first Island and during one of the optional conversations Sonic has with Sage on the final Island, Sonic says "Let's do it to it." That's a direct reference to the Sonic Archie comics. It was his catch line. Similar to Mario's Let's a Go". He even at one point calls Tails "little bro" witch is another thing he says in the Archie comics.

    You missed the reference to Silver the Hedgehog. The reference is only discovered once you have maxed out ALL your stats (Attack/Defence/Speed/Rings) and then speak with Hermit Koko. During the conversation, he mentions about being in the dream for too long and how things could have been different if he did more like his brother, Elder Koko. Sonic mentions that "he knows a Time Traveller" who could maybe change their fate in which Hermit declines the offer. It is known that Silver does travel from the distant future in multiple games, being 06, Rivals, Forces just to name a few.

  • @ZsoltCsere

    There's also a reference to Silver when Sonic talks to Hermit Koco there's a chance they will have a conversation with Hermit wishing they'd had a hero like Sonic back then and Sonic answers with "I know a time traveler. Want us to rewrite hystory when this is over?"

  • @bitwize

    In one part Sonic says "Let's do it to it!" which is a callback to Sonic's quips from both DiC series. Robotnik also says "I hate that hedgehog" to Sage, which may be a callback to Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (the sillier DiC series).

    Nice video! I personally got a kick out of the boatload of callbacks in Frontiers, though I worry that newcomers could be confused or put off by them. I have to imagine that only a fraction of the people that play the game will get references to stuff like Dark Gaia or the events of SA1, considering those games aren't available on modern consoles and tons of fans are coming from the movies.

    i know it's pretty redundant to comment this on a 7 month old video, but that line could also work as a reference to Pyramid Cave from SA2, as well.
    granted, it's kind of a stretch because the level is more desert themed than an actual desert, but the theme combined with it being a sonic focused level with ghosts, it could work.
