This. We're finally getting sonic 4, essentially

Nah. We're getting a side game, something that revisits a bunch of stuff as well as giving us some new levels, a celebration of the classic series, but it isn't going to advance the series in a way that the next numbered Sonic should (and Sonic 4 didn't).

I'd love to see playable Amy in a game running in this engine. Just give her the running hammer high jump and make her a little slower, maybe make a few switches or some see-saws that are hammer activated, and she'd be more than unique enough to justify her existence.

While looking at the NicoNico 25th Anniversary stream for footage to use in a secret project I discovered there's a Sonic Cafe here in Japan. I could, in theory, go and drink "Experimental Solution from Tails' Lab" and eat "Shadow's Black Curry" and obtain a Sonic Drift 2 coaster. They also announced a Sonic Fan Thanksgiving event at Joypolis on Dec 23rd, so maybe I'll go there and get Iizuka to sign a Mario ad again.

I think it is very important for you to try the cafe's chili dog and report how it compares to a standard western chili dog.

Nobody knows; in true Sonic style the staff invents a crisis every time a customer is about to bite into one.

That Lego Dimension Sonic crossover thing looks a lot like Sonic 3D Blast (and it's by the same developer, even).

There was also this.. questionable short movie, even though it was a fan production. Not that I expect an actual proper movie to be this quality (hopefully.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtCtQpclpY8

It has Jaleel White voicing Sonic, which is probably as "official" as it could get without straight-up having Roger Craig Smith or something.

I got lost in thought admiring the really cool details in this cover again such as knuckles having half of a head, Sonic's head being made of stars and tails' shoes being unfinished drawings and I got to thinking...was this the last unironic laser grid background home video cover of the 90s?

How does sonic canon work anyways? Is there a defined system for it, where like the games overrule the tv shows, and those overrule the comics, or something?

Each series has its own canon. Games have their own canon, Boom has its own canon, the comics have their own canon, each individual tv show has its own canon, etc.

Every game takes place in its own unique canon; absolutely no interactivity between games is present despite any claims to the contrary
