/vr/ - Retro Games

[Anonymous No.9110185]

A lot of people seem to think that Sonic Adventure and the Mega Drive games take place in different worlds because Sonic Adventure has human cities and people. Do people just forget that many zones in the Mega Drive games (even in the first game) have human cities in the background? Not to mention that Sonic Adventure includes locations from the older games.

I think it's because of Sonic X. In that anime Sonic gets isekai'd to the human world and they adapted the story of the Sonic Adventure games. But that was a stupid decision and to fix it they had to make Angel Island go to the human world too.

the connection between SONIC'S EYES ARE NOT GREEN autism and SONIC'S WORLD DOES NOT HAVE HUMANS autism is just satam fanboy cope. they didn't get a season 3 so instead they pretend the games carry it forth. stupid.

These alien hominid animals and their weird humanish/robot antagonist have bigger issues here.
First, the clear environmental analogy and the idea that technology is out of control and dominating nature. Robotnik's inventions were supposedly helping the "humans" he is proud of his genius. But ego/psychopathy takes him to extreme levels of megalomania.
But what is less discussed is his obsession with capturing baby animals. Notice how he is not killing them? But he is not opposed to killing other animals like Sonic + Tails?
This is surely the most suspect thing since if he has no intent to kill them and mostly targets the young, we must conclude that Dr Ivo Robotnik is in fact not only a pedofile. But worse, a furry.

Sure that's your opinion, but it's not canon. The actual canon never included anyone named Robotnick or Sally or Boomer or that skunk guy. The first game in the entire series literally says Dr Eggman and all of those other characters and names that you love so much were written by furries who were trying to cash in on it.
>Also Satam invented Sonic having a group of friends before Adventure did it. You're welcome, SEGA of Japan.
Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Espio, Vector, Charmy, Ray, Fang, and more charactes all appeared in games made by Sega of Japan long before Adventure. The only new characters introduced in Adventure 1 were Big, E-102, Tikal, and the Chao. The echidna tribe existed but never appeared in game prior to it because of obvious technical reasons, but they are mentioned in the manual. "Having friends" isn't something that Sega of America invented or has a monopoly on. The first Sonic cartoon premiered in 1993 and Sonic already had multiple established friends by that point (Tails, Amy, Mighty and Ray).

Not him, but the red plane, The Tornado, belongs to Sonic. Tails being capable of fixing it is the reason he let Tails stick by in the manual or something. Even in SA Sonic goes "Why don't you just use my plane, The Tornado?". Tornado 2, however is all Tails, he built that shit.

You can't have it be both a serious story set on real earth, and a frivolous cartoon at the same time. That's why it doesn't work. You have to pick one.
A good example of fictional setting would be Lord of the Rings, because you have a good sense of what the setting is, how all of the different races fit into it, and how they relate to each other (Hobbits are considered lowly and insignificant. Dwarves and Elves don't really see eye to eye, etc), you understand the danger the ring poses, and what the costs of Sauron winning the war would be.
Sonic doesn't give you any of that. It pretty much just cuts and pastes a bunch of ideas together, and then asks you not to think about it, while simultaneously asking you to treat it with utmost seriousness. It's ridiculous.

This is not a guy who exists in "the real word", so it's absurd to try to paint him that way. If you're going to depict a human society in Sonic, it needs to feel like it gels with the tone that has been established. In other words, it needs to be a cartoon.

In Sonic it looked lame and ridiculous, in Mario it looked cool and it was fun.
It's also not much about the humans, it's about the entire thing being a faggotry ridden mess. Instead of Sonic being a cool fast cartoon animal, we are supposed to believe that he always was a teenager comedy character that speaks and lives in the suburbs and eats and shits and watch the news. Also humans are fucking useless and Eggman just gets away with anything.
Compare this to Metro Kingdom in Mario, which does not invalidate how the Mushroom Kingdom is portrayed in older games, does not make any difference in the plot, doesn't change Mario's character, and it just oozes soul.

sonic was always a teenager who talked and i don't see how he's particularly comedic in the adventure games. he's just flippant as always. this is just more whining that sega didn't read your mind for your hyperspecific special snowflake canon and instead went with what they had already set up, just expanding it further

let me play your cinemasins game for a sec. toads are fucking useless. why don't they just kill bowser themselves? the mushroom kingdom really doesn't do anything for the plot. peach could just be mario's girlfriend who gets kidnapped like pauline (clearly the first incarnation of peach) in donkey kong. not sure why they would fuck up the character of a mute plumber by giving him a voice in mario 64 and then nixing the plumber aspect entirely more recently. really they "fucked up" mario's character in the exact same way they "fucked up" sonic. modern mario is nothing like his 80s/early 90s incarnation.

I don't even disagree with OP.
But because the whole thread is full of retards who grew up with shows and comics, are the cancer what raids other story discussions with their butthurt nostalgia blind faggorty.
All to the point they sperg irrelevant or dumbest shit you ever seen just to defend their SatAM/Jap era and it really shows.
>muh amy cd/tails cutscene
It was there at the time where Sonic Adventure was developed for the Saturn where all characters where in the Sonic R model. They didn't bother removing the cutscenes which is Genesis-tier.
>MUH ADVENTURE
No matter how hard you try to dispute this, SA is a sequel to S3K, it's not just the game mentions 3 the most like Angel Island itself or "the Dragon", but also mentions other stuff in the earlier games like how Sonic has a deja vu like he met there before.
>muh Eggman/Robotnik
He's now "Dr. Ivo Eggman Robotnik", seethe and dilate.
>You can't have it be both a serious story set on real earth, and a frivolous cartoon at the same time. That's why it doesn't work. You have to pick one.
What is Who framed, Roger the Rabbit or Tiny Toons?
Also, Sonic always had that wacky shit since day one, even his concept art really shows. So having SA2 is not farfetched, also that game's setting is based on every 80s/90s shows like Tiny Toons or Felix the Cat, so i don't see why it doesn't work unless you're Seth McNigger.
The whole whining is because of other media, which is again, irrelevant because they don't touch the games at all. All of them are based on the games. That doesn't help that Sega promoted SatAM shit so bad they even rewritten the manuals to fit their own fanfiction, even as far to call Amy, "Sally".

Not really. New Donk City is just another space for Mario to get into wacky hijinks. There's not even a hint that the developers want you to think of this world as "real".

[Anonymous No.9113696]

Unless Cybershell is lurking here, there's a good chance I'm probably the biggest Sonic lore autist in this thread.

The closest thing Sonic has to rational canon is the Sonic OVA and Sonic CD like what >>9113276 anons said. The games take place on a semi-distopian planet where most the habitable landmass exists on floating islands (hence "Zones"). Some islands are man-made, like the industrial Zones and Green Hill Zone with its plastic trees. Zones like Labyrinth and Mystic Caves take place in the old world below which is largely inhabitable. Some floating islands are chained together to form colonies. Some run on magic, like Angel Island, and can stay isolated from society because they stay obscured in the clouds and are just generally hard to travel to. Some islands are just giant mechanical bases made by Eggman. Etc. There's also some fuckery with portals.

Humans existing in the Sonic universe isn't so much a point of contention as is the fact that it's really jarring aesthetically to see a noodle-armed egg person to be standing next to anatomically correct humans, standing next to stylized talking animals. What makes the most sense is having different types of humans occupying different floating regions, with some even having animal traits. The not-America and not-Egypt in SA2 are pretty lazy and are moreso a product of a game that had like nine months development time, but the Adventure games still have stuff like giant, looping highways over large bodies of water which still supprt the islands theory.

Going to need to ask for some sources of where you got that info because it sounds like a whole lot of bullshit that is easily disproven by playing the games. And last night I started translating the manuals, and I can at least guarantee that the manual for the first game contradicts your points.

Are you saying that each zone is it's own island? Because the entire first game takes place on South Island. Green Hill Zone, Marble Zone, Labrynth Zone, Spring Yard Zone, Starlight Zone, Scrap Brain Zone and Final Zone are all on South Island.

Sonic 2 takes place on West Side Island. All of the Zones in Sonic 2 are areas on West Side Island (until you go into space)

Likewise, all of the Zones from Sonic 3 are on Angel Island.

South Island and West Side Islsnd are just normal islands. In illustrations of them, they appear as normal islands in the water. Only Angel Island is ever said to be floating or shown floating. It is also never said that the world is post-apocalyptic or that the only livable areas are islands. You literally just made that shit up.

>the Adventure games still have stuff like giant, looping highways over large bodies of water which still supprt the islands theory
No they don't. The only level like that is Metal Harbor and it's not highways over the ocean, it's a fucking G.U.N. outpost in the ocean. Otherwise Misson Street and Radical Highway have bridges. Have you never seen a bridge in your life? Our world had bridges, does that mean our whole world is made of islands?

You literally just made shit up the same way Sega of America did. The games have canon, it's in the fucking instruction manual included with the game. And the OVA isn't canon.
