Alternate Knuckles? - imagesplease. 5/15/08
Ive read about a few alternate Knuckles that ive never even scene before (or herd of in refrence) and was wondering if these were true alternates, or just made up. One thing was a possible 'future'. Brass Knuckles? The second wasnt given a name, but was said to be a cheif of police in the same universe as Sally McAcorn. The last was somthing about a giant mutant with three spikes on his hands.

Those are all different Archie-related versions of Knuckles. The possible future versions could have resulted from Knuckles #25, Sonic #106-109, Sonic #131-144, or Sonic #166-167. The Brass Knuckles would refer to Sonic #103. The Sally McAcorn related one would come from Super Special #14. The mutant would come from Super Special #12. There are more alternate versions of Knuckles than that from Archie, including the "Anti-Knuckles" from Sonic #44, a Gatchaman/G-Force parody from Super Special #12, and a Sailor Moon parody from Super Special #8.

Cream in the Comics - BalanceAct 12/27/07
I am a big cream fan and I just stated getting into the comics, so I want to know, why hasn't Cream the Rabbit made an appearance in the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series (Well, other than the Archie Sonic X comics), and if they're ever planing to include her at all?

Sega mandated awhile back that Cream can only appear in the Sonic X series. So until Sega changes its mind (assuming as of right now that it has not) she will only appear in their Sonic X series.

Time/age/space deficiency? - The Notorious AJM 12/11/07
OK, a while back, I read on your website that Amy's official age used to be eight, but after Sonic Adventure it was changed to twelve. How come she grew up, but none of the other characters in the Sonic world have aged a bit? I myself am emotionally hung up by this.

It's not Amy grew up, it's just that they changed her age. She's not the only character it has happened to within the games (or other Sonic universes, such as Archie's comic). The Chaotix when they were re-introduced in Sonic Heroes had their ages changed from their debut in Knuckles Chaotix as well. -True Red

  

shadows TRUE past ^ ^ - cassie the hedgefox 4/24/07
ok here's my question according to sonic the hedgehog issue#171 he was
created by professor Gerald and black doom who wanted shadow for a weapon but professor Gerald turned him into a savior for planet mobius
but the game shadow the hedgehog he was born please tell me which one
is correct ^ ^ *_~

Despite the games and comics having their own continuities, you're mistaken in thinking the backstory is different. In both Shadow was genetically engineered by Professor Gerald Robotnik with assistance from Black Doom.

Archie Sonic - Blacken Redd 4/28/07
I was wondering if Archie Comics has a set number of how many more Sonic Hedgehog comics they plan on doing. Cause it makes more sense to stop after 200 (since 175 coming up is going to be a huge milestone), and then start in more on sonic X comic.

So do you have any info on that?

Both comics will continue as long as they are profitable--meaning enough people buy them. So, no, there's no set date to end any of them. --True Red

Store - Sonic915 1/1/07
How many sales do you guys average through the store each day?

Considering we do not have affiliation links with most of the stores listed in the store, we have no way of truly knowing how much traffic we drive to the stores listed. We don't sell anything, just provide links to some places that do.

I can't figure out where I can find a picture of Amadeus. I've read about him but I can't find a picture of him. What does he look like?

You've probably seen him without realizing it. He's on the cover of Sonic #129. This is his current profile pic in encyclopedia (yes I do know they aren't showing up--it's not that the images aren't there, it's the links to them are bad), which is the same image, but only from about the waist up.

My Life (Hoaxes) - Brother Blaze 12/3/06
Could you please answer my query? Please tell me this: The computer I use says URL NOT FOUND when I try to access the hoax pages. Is this a site malfunction or is it the computer itself?

As I mentioned earlier (though granted the person asked only about the encyclopedia) when someone fixes the script in terms of the links to the images, that's when they'll work--not before. If it ends up that I have to do it, it won't happen until January because I'm working mostly on my other website right now. Any image that won't load now is due to the fact that they appear due to scripts. Most images that are linked directly (mainly comic scans as an example) will work fine. --True Red

Hey, I was wondering....When is this site going to be fully operational? I notice that the pics in the encyclopedia aren't showing. And how come I can't acess the proart area? Is it restricted or something?

1) When someone fixes the script in terms of the links to the images, that's when it'll be operational. If it ends up that I have to do it, it won't happen until nearly January because I'm working mostly on my other website right now.

2) Not restricted, but at least one script file needed hasn't been uploaded. So that can fixed faster. Thanks for the heads up.

Manic and Sonia - Ashi 7/28/06
About Manic and Sonia: Is it only in the "Archie Universe" that they are Sonic and Sally's children? Because, in the Sonic Underground series they're siblings. Is it just a universe switch that makes them siblings in one, and father, mother/children in another?

You can call it a universe switch, but keep in mind that they aren't the same characters at all though Archie used the names from Sonic Underground. Archie: Sonia = ground squirrel (around 15-16) similar to Sally in design; Manik (with a "k" not a "c") = blue hedgeghog (around 10-11) similar to Sonic in design. Sonic Underground: Sonia = pink hedegehog (15/16); Manic = green hedgehog (15/16) where both are different from Sonic in design. --True Red

  

A few questions - Neos 7/26/06
1) Ok I have been a little iffy about tails age......in sonic adventure 2 he was stated to be a ten year old fox.........so wy in future games is he slated to be 8 years old? Is it to establish some sort of relationship with cream or something what? 2) Does Sonic have any REAL background? Every game ive played sonic has absolutly NO story about his own past or background.....hes just a hero and thats it.........whats the deal with that? 3) And is shadow going to have anymore story in upcoming games? I was real upset about his ending in shth and wondered if sega would focus on him and try to resolve his issues, course I wont be seeing it due to how I dislike sony and microsoft this year...... 4) Another thing.....when is sega gonna go back to the roots of their glory days when sonic felt like sonic? in these times that classic over joyess sonic feel has just died......... 5) one more question.....is metal sonic ever coming back? Or even hyper knuckles and super tails at least?

1) Tails has always been 8 years old (or younger in some non-Japanese sources) in the video games due to official sources, but never older. Tails was 10 in SatAM and Archie (though he's now 11 in Archie). AoStH (younger) and Fleetway (various) have had Tails at different ages.
2) Sonic's a mystery. It's been that way for 15 years and it'll stay that way until someone decides to change it.

Shadow's Fate - True Blitz(the Hedgehog) 7/10/06

Comics - Lacey the hedgehog 6/8/06
Hey, I saw one of the questions on here was (something along the lines of),

Why don't you put whole comic books on this webpage?


In the response you said it was illegal unless money was involved.
My question then is.....
A. Why then do you put scans of 1 or 2 comic pages per book?

and

B. Would it be legal for me to put a couple comic scans on my webpage?

A) Because it's legal. There's a huge difference between a few pages and a whole issue, which is 22-27 pages (the specials had even more pages when printed).
B) Yes.

Copyright law isn't difficult to research.

Considering the profile for Amadeus states more than what was covered in #129 and anything mentioned in Merlin's profile wasn't covered in #129, the answer to your question is "yes." Rosemary gets a profile whenever she gets one, same as any other character. --True Red

Charmy the bee's real age - Keshia 4/20/06
Hi, I'm Keshia and I am a huge fan of Sonic and all of his friends.My question for you is that in the Sonic dictionary on both of the definitions for Charmy the Bee,you said that the video game virsion of Charmy's age is 16,but my brother got the Sonic Heroes video game and the guide said that Charmy's really six years old!!!! Can you explane this to me?

Outside of Japan, the game manual for Knuckles Chaotix originally gave Charmy's age as sixteen. However, as has happened with other characters, upon being reinvented and redesigned, the age was changed. He is now six.

what's the difference? - tuffluffjimmy 4/9/06
I was wondering what is the difference between times transformed and age. Most of my chaos are at least 2 or 3, but all of them in the times transformed catagory say 0. why is that? these questions regard to sonic adventure 2 battle for the gamescube.

Age simply refers to the passage of time. Transormation refers to the reincarnation process in which a chao at about age five can revert through a coccoon to an egg and be rehatched, keeping a percentage of its previous stats and gaining a rank on its dominant type.

Timelines - Twisted Hog 4/6/06
Hey just wondering if you could put up some kind of timeline based on the Archie series, as continuity sometimes gets a bit hazy and I'm lost! You have dates on this site regarding when Sonic et al were born, but you don't seem to have any info on important dates, such as when the great war started, when Sonic's parents met etc etc.

Also, since Sonic's trip to space, which apparently lasted a year on the Mobius calandar, wouldn't that make the birthday Sonic celebrates in issue 150-something his 18th (as he would have had his 17th in space)?? I be confused!
Cheers!

It would take a lot of fan screaming for me to even think about doing a continuity outline as specific as what you're asking for for a few reasons. Some of the things you mention, such as when the Great War started, have never been given dates. Things that have been given dates, such as a few birthdates, are mostly all posted. There might be a couple missing so I won't say "all" of them are posted. The other reason is that Archie slightly overwrites established continuity--which can make it difficult to stick with their continuity completely.

As for Sonic's birthday, Archie has decided to be deliberately vague. There are a lot of rumors/theories abound and because Archie has basically stated that they don't plan on aging the characters (particularly right now), don't expect them to proclaim that Sonic is 18 or older especially since they do take into account that Sonic is supposed to be a teenager due to his age of 15 in the video games (and Sonic X).

Okay, something is wrong here - Myan Altos 2/26/06
Hi, I'm a Knuckles fan, and I was wondering something. In the the video games, Knuckles claims he is the last of his kind and has no family. But in the Archie comics, he has a family and a whole bunch of relatives. What's going on?

Is Tails... - I am confused! 2/7/06
Okay, I know that Tails is a boy (I've known him for a quite long time) but I heard he was girl. Was he a girl at one time in his life, or was he always a boy?

Originally Tails was a girl, this has overall been proven and accepted fact by most people. What changed however was when Sonic 2 was being produced Sega of America basically said that the game needed to have a male Tails because of ethics back then and they did not want a female girl running after Sonic. So Tails was made a guy and later on they introduced Amy to run after Sonic.

Shadow's Past - Fiery Hedgehog 1/30/06
Grr.. I am really confused about Shadow's past. Did he die in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle? Is he an android in Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog? And is he the so called "ultimate life form" or is that the bio-lizard thing?

1. No, Eggman saved him via his robots.
2. No, though some things try to lead him to believe that he is.
3. It's Shadow. The Biolizard is obviously not the true ULF as it's called a prototype several times.

Sonic's name - RedFalcon 1/17/06
Okay, I heard that sonic has another name, that is olgilvee (Or something to that effect) isn't his real name Sonic? what's going on?

It depends on the version of Sonic. Each Sonic universe is different. In the Archie comics (for the series from 1993 that is still being published; not the Sonic X that just started), Ken Penders revealed years ago on his message board that he gave Sonic the name Olgilvie Maurice Hedgehog in response to comments on Knuckles' name and in reference to the story he wrote back in Sonic The Hedgehog #53. That is currently Sonic's official name for Archie and ONLY Archie. Other versions of Sonic, either have his real name as Sonic or haven't touched the issue. --True Red

What year does Mobius exist in? - SKSTH 12/19/05
Hi, I'm writing a Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction story and I was hoping someone could tell me, what year does the Archie Comics/SatAM series take place, or between what years (from 30-- to 30--)?

In SatAM, Sonic & Sally were 5 years old in 3224 (the year of the coup) and in the second season of SatAM we learn that Sally is 16, so it's the year 3235. In Archie, based on the Data Files, Sonic was born in 3220, Sonic turned 16 in Sonic #68, making it either the year 3237 or 3238 now depending on how Archie ends up deciding the "year jump controversy" surrounding Sonic's 17th birthday in Sonic #160. --True Red

  

Sonic's Name - Me 1/2/06

She did too!!!!! - Chaos Cat 1/7/06
I am responding to the answer that Mina+Knux got, saying that Mina did die. She died in Archie Sonic Comic issue #123.

Obviously you don't have the issue. #123 is the issue in which Mina was shot. But just like in the real world, being shot doesn't mean you will die. She was shown talking to Sonic & Sally in the hospital in Knothole on the very next page, which was not scanned but is discussed in the review for the issue on this site. Mina never died in the comic, but if the only thing you see are the scans posted on this site (or people discussing them) then you could come to that incorrect conclusion. The scans posted for any issue rarely tell the whole story, especially for the ones I have posted (such as Sonic #123). --True Red

Sonic Crackers - Rob 11/18/05
Hi,

I was just wondering if there was any definite proof that this (Sonic Crackers) is indeed a "true" Sonic game and not just some hoax? The date on the title screen is 19940401 (1st April 1994), perhaps an April fools joke? Another note is that the sprites are quite clearly from Sonic 2, yet Sonic 3 was released February 2, 1994. Surely they would use the most up to date artwork? The last point is that the ROM Header clearly spells it wrong "Sonic Studium".

Granted all of the points made could be taken either way by opinion, I was however looking for some definite facts as I have so far been unable to find. If this is a "true" Sonic game, who released it, when was it released, and what was the development process that lead it to be cancelled and re-branded as Knuckles Chaotix?

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Sonic Crackers has just as many rumors going on about it as Genocide City Zone of Sonic 2. There is no general agreement on the game itself. Possibly it is probabaly a spoof given the basic title screen and the date of April 1st. Many do believe though that this was a beta for Knuckles Chaotix marked as the mysterious "Sonic the Hedgehog 4". Clearly if it is truly a fake as many do believe, and probably is, it has been one of the best in a long time.

The Commander - Calico 11/26/05
On Shadow the Hedgehog, in the ARK during a flashback, it is shown that GUN soldiers are invading and destroying the space colony. Also, the Commander of GUN reveals himself as being Maria's brother. If this is so, then why is he the Commander of GUN, if he knows that they were the ones who had infiltrated the ARK?

The Commander never reveals himself as Maria's brother; he just considered her like family. Also, he thought that GUN had ultimately done the right thing back then, as he believed Shadow was the cause of all the trouble and thus ultimately responsible for anyone who ended up dying during GUN's invasion.

green eyes - sonicfan#1 11/23/05
in early sonic comics, sonic has black eyes but the later comics have him with green eyes. Why is that and what they for?

Real reason: Sonic changed his appearance in the video games and comics match the look as required.

OK, first lemme say that I love the site. I used to read Sonic comics and watch the shows as a kid and have always been a huge fan. What I'm wondering is who is Eggman? Is it another name for Robotnik or just someone different?

It is another name for Robotnik. There are different explanations for the name depending on the version of Sonic though. --True Red

  

Need info - ant_lerd@yahoo.co.uk 9/28/05
Hello i was wondering if you know the E-mail address for the Archie Sonic series because i can not get on to www.archiecomics.com, it always comes up saying cannot find server please help. Thank you From Adrian

I'm assuming you mean sonic@archiecomics.com, that's what's given in the letters' page. I don't visit their website if there's something different there. --True Red

  

Lara-Su - N_Sy 9/28/05
whats the name of the comic where lara-su appears? does she have any brothers or sisters? whats her age?

It depends on which Lara-Su you are interested in as there have been two. The first one is already profiled in the Encyclopedia, which will answer those questions. If you mean the version seen in M:25YL: 1) Sonic #131, 2) No, 3) 16. --True Red

  

Copyright Laws - Ananomys 9/18/05
Did you guys have to ask permission from SEGA to create a Sonic resource website? I'm just asking, because I need to know this before I can create my own Sonic website. Also, on my previous question about the website information, you said that images that aren't galleries and downloads are the only ones that need direct permission, I was wondering that if I use one of the images in your SA Imgaes gallery, if I can edit it a little. Yes, giving credit to you :)

1) No. However, if you want to operate under a guarantee that you could never be shutdown, then yes. Every country has different laws concerning copyright, so if you want a legal opinion, check the laws for your country.

2) You can edit those to your hearts content. Most people do for their own avatars anyway. ;)

dead or alive???? - Mina+Knux 9/24/05
Ummm in one comic Mina died, right?Then how come in another comic after that she was alive? It's kinda freaky!

Mina never died in the Archie comic series. --True Red

  

Website Information - Ananomis (sorry, can't spell -_-') 8/13/05
I was just wondering if I can take information from this website (and of course, give credit to you) without having to ask permission? Well, not word for word, but slightly altered.

Yes, you (or anyone else) may. It's only for pictures/images that aren't in downloads or galleries where permission should be asked for directly. Fan created stuff obviously needs permission of the creator, unless there's a note from the fan saying that anyone may reproduce their stuff on any site with credit given to them. --True Red

Character From Sonic Archie Comics - Nebula 7/14/05
There is a character on a few of the Sonic Archie Comic covers. He's red with spikes, with gold band like rings around his wrists and he has cream coloured hands like his arms. He is on Sonic Archie Comic covers 51 cheering, 69 facing Tails, 112 hanging from the plane and 125 between the 2 and 5 cards. I've heard that he's from one of the Sega Saturn games and I'd just like to know who he is and any more information about him, like what he looks like and abilities etc. Thanks

His name is Astal. As I've never played the game, I don't know much about him. But here does. --True Red

  

Sonic Underground--ARCHIE - Princessjea 7/16/05
Which comic is the Sonic Underground in? Is it a whole comic or just a page. Me and someone disagree about it.
Thanks SO MUCH!!!!

Sonic Super Special #10, check the comic archives for basic information. --True Red

Egg Viper - Tails_gal 5/6/05
Hey i dont know how to beat eggman in the egg viper when i am sonic on dx. what am i supposed to do to beat him?

Read the Sonic Adventure page, which can be found in the Games section. That should help you. Remember, SA:DX is mainly the same thing as SA just with extra games, missions, and a cameo or two. --True Red

  

well........... - ??? 5/23/05
I have 3 questions for you guys.....
1)Do you guys know that your web site is often mentioned in the sonic the hedgehog comic?
2)The other day i went in one of your old question sections and i found some guy named fexus fan,everybody seemed to hate him,so who is he anyways?
3)In the final battle in sonic battle you have to fight Emerl but his powers and speed are so boosted that i can't seem to defeat him!Can i have some tips........

thank you-_-

1) Those that read it would know, though it's not that often.
2) Classified information beyond what is noted on the Staff page.
3) If you're having problems, use the special attacks in combination, preferably setting "shot" to Ground and then using either "power" or "trap" as Aerial depending on which you feel more comfortable using. This way you can keep Emerl from getting close to you as much as possible if you time your special attack well. You will have to alternate them (so get real comfortable using two of them) as Emerl will usually defend himself from whichever special attack was used on him when he returns after being KO'd.

News - Do I need to tell? 6/4/05
In the article in the Front Page News page features a Fleetway Sonic the Comic issue, but that series was canceled years ago. Is that a fan comic or something, because it's a different website. I'm confused. Thanks :)

The news page never advertises a STC issue because it was cancelled years ago. Therefore it is impossible. STC-Online is not STC. It's just a fan comic. --True Red

  

rules - 93SonicChao 6/1/05
I see that your rules were last updated on *APRIL 1ST*, so, does that mean the're fake? this may lead to the reason some people are disobeying the rules.

Besides the sillyness of the theory, rules have always existed on Q&A, even prior to my becoming a co-web of this site in 2001. The biggest reason for disobeying the rules is due to not reading them in the first place. --True Red

  

"Rules"? - KnucklesxRouge 5/18/05
I've seen some of the answers to your questions and some of them (including mine) say to "read certain rules" or "because of this rule I can't answer it." I want to know if I'm able to read these "rules." If so, where can I read them?

This has been answered before, but I'll cut some slack for the moment. There are a list of instructions on the question submission page. Read them and you'll find what you're looking for. --True Red

  

Kragok's relations - KnucklesxRouge 5/10/05
After reading a lot of comics, I found out something strange about Kragok's relatives. In Knuckles #18, Kragok says that his father is Moritori Rex but in "Shadows" from SSS #11, Simon tells Julie-su that the father of Kragok and Lien-da is Luger, Moritori Rex's son. Which one is it? I've heard that Constable Remington is Kragok's son. Is that true? Thanks for your time :)

Rules 5 and 10 prevent me from answering the questions. --True Red

  

Sonic battle codes - sonic fan 4/18/05
in the game sonic battle,there is a place called central city.In that location there is a building called Sonic team in there they tell you to enter a code!what is the codes'pupose?could u guys give it to me?
Thanx~_'

Read the games page, particularly the Sonic Battle section. --True Red

  

New Shadow Game - Whinnie 5/7/05
Is it true that SEGA's releasing a new Shadow game? I've heard people talking about it here and there in sites and threads; some people are able to supply posters and pictures via Internet. If they ARE making a new Sonic game, when's it going to be out?

Read rule #9. --True Red

  

How? - metalsplinter 4/17/05
How did Lupe return? She died in the girls rule SSS! What happened?

Lupe never died. Just because a tombstone was built for her doesn't mean she died. She was roboticized and like everyone else (that wasn't destroyed), she had it reversed. --True Red

  

Chaos Chao Pre-Lives - Anonymous 4/15/05
Suppose I wanted to make a hero chaos chao. In the chao's first two lives, does it have to be a neutral chao, or can
it be hero or dark? Thanks.

The alignment of a previous life doesn't affect that of later lives - except that the chao will start off slightly towards the alignment it held when it went into the cocoon, but that's easily changed.

wake up Zonic! - Smareng 4/9/05
I just have one question: 1) Why the heck dosen't zonic the zone cop take robo-robitnik back to his zone?!! (I've missed a lot of issues recently. If this has already been answered I apologize)

Zonic doesn't take anyone from one zone to another against their will without help, usually Sonic's. Zonic is also responsible for keeping "balance" between zones. Robo-Robotnik's zone doesn't have a Sonic anymore, either. --True Red

  

Sonic Movie and Shadow Advance - Alex 4/4/05
I was wondering, is it true that there are plans for a new Sonic movie or is it an April fools joke? Are there plans for a game called Shadow Advance or is it an April fools joke?

Of course they were. The sources were dead giveaways. --True Red

  

3 questions - Chaos Garfield 4/2/05
I have three questions to ask.

1. Is this TRUE?- Sonic is being replaced from the head mascot by Shadow the Hedgehog? (And why?)

2. Throughout your site, why does it have sayings such as "MARIA!", "*angst*", and "Who am I? Where am I?" I know they involve Shadow, but don't they get a little annoying with them in the way usually (like on this post)?

3. I've heard that on Sonic (Archie) #127, there's a parody of Antonio Prohias's "Spy vs. Spy" strip featuring Agent Sonic and Agent Knuckles! I really like Spy vs. Spy (notice how AoStH is similar to it), and I was surprised to see that they actually made a spoof of the famous "Joke and Gagger!"

1 & 2) It's all part of an April Fools Day joke that'll come down whenever I or Vector feel like taking it down, or April 11th--whichever comes first.
3) Yes, Archie did do a spoof of Spy vs. Spy in Sonic #127

Where is a pheonix? - Angie 3/27/05
ok, I went to over 10 cheat sites and they say that a pheonix can be found in a number of levels, but they don't tell me where. I was wondering if you could tell me the exact location of one Thanx

Read the SA2 page. Your answer is contained where you will find animal location info. --True Red

  

Constable Remington's father? (Archie Question) - Princessjea 3/21/05
Hi! Quick question: I was reading the encylcopedia and it says Kragok is Remington's son! How is this possible? What comic says that? I must've missed it. It's just kinda funny to think of Julie-Su as Remington's step-aunt! Thanks!

It's never been mentioned in the comic. It was revealed by Ken Penders a long time ago to the online fans. No one save Lien-Da (as hinted in Sonic #141 and possibly Sonic #118) is seemingly aware of Remington's connection to the Dark Legion within the comic anyway. --True Red

  

Email? - Chaos Garfield 3/20/05
How exactly do I send an E-mail to Sonic HQ? I have something to send for a Sonic cartoon, but I find no way to contact whoever I should contact for this case.

Read the staff page. --True Red

  

Knuckles' new look and Shadow's own game - BJ 3/13/05
1) In Archie's comic series, if Sonic got his new character design in #71 then when did Knuckles get his?
2) Is it really true that Shadow is really getting his own game?

1) Knuckles #30 (or Sonic #79)
2) Read rule #9

--True Red

  

Vector's Species - Do I need to tell? 3/7/05
Is Vector an alligator or crocodile? I would look in the Sonic Encyclopedia, but one site (as in more than one website) says he's an alligator, the next one says he's a crocodile. Which one is he?

Vector's a crocodile, not an alligator. Some people simply don't realize that there's a difference between the two.

Did Sonic have a sister?? - Skipper 3/12/05
I want to maybe be a SONIC cartoon writer when I grow up and I'm working on my own comic. I NEED TO KNOW VERY BADLY if Sonic has a sister in any series.

As this type of question has been answered before, check the cartoon pages, particularly Sonic Underground, for your answer. --True Red

  

sonic heroes - sonic fan 3/9/05
how do i get in the special stage on sonic heroes. i get the key. but
when i finish the zone i don't get in. the key is gone. i can't even get in to the bonus chalenge.

Asked someone who has played the game and was told: "Getting the key doesnt mean you get in. Keeping the key is what gets you in. In other words--don't get hit. Make it all the way through the stage alive without getting hit once after you snag the key and you gain access to the special stages." --True Red

  

Link to you? - RedFalcon 3/4/05
Where can I get a link to you? Not just a URL, a little button link.
Thanx!

In the directory section, on the page where you submit a link to us is where we list our banners/buttons that can be used to link back to us. --True Red

  

other series? - Myles_Prower 2/22/05
your archive starts at issue one, i seem to have an issue 00, plus two different issue ones, twos and threes, but that is where it ends. is something missing somewhere (none of my other sites recognise these either), or am i seeing double?

The archive for Sonic starts with the first Sonic issue: Sonic The Hedgehog #1. The archive for the mini-series starts with the first Sonic mini-series: Sonic The Hedgehog #0-3. Don't confuse the two things. --True Red

  

sonic archie comics - jimmy o 2/16/05
hi, can u tell me whether the sonic archie comics are released in the UK please? i am a big fan, and would love to start reading the comics. thanks.

For the most part, they are not. A few people that post on the message board have either an import or comic shop that does get the Archie comics, so they buy the comic directly from the store. It is possible, but not likely. The large majority of people that get the Archie comics in the UK do so by requesting it from a comic shop via Previews (which would require you to place orders a few months in advance) or via online shops, which are listed in the store section of the site. I can't vouch for any of the UK ones in terms of reliability, but I do know that Ace Comics is recommended all the time. --True Red

  

Sonic The Comic question - BJ 1/31/05
Are the "Sonic the Comic" series only released in the UK online?

Sonic when he runs - Ira Malone 1/22/05
When sonic runs he flings his arms back,let me name some games he does fling his arms back-sonic adventure,sonic adventure 2 battle,sonic advance,sonic advance 2,and sonic advance 3.So does Amy,Cream,Knuckle on all of the sonic advance.So why does he run like this?

It's just something stylistic to give the impression of high speed.

Tails - Skyla Prower ^_^ 12/19/04
I've read Tails' bio on your encyclopedia, but I'd like to know if Tails has ever seen his uncle Merlin in person or been contacted by him ever. This is driving me insane!!!! I also have a few other questions. Today's date is 12/19/04 and I missed the Sonic X episode last Saturday (12/11/04) where Charmy and Vector appearred. PLEASE GIVE ME A SUMMARY OF THAT EPISODE OR TELL ME WHERE I CAN SEE IT!!!!!! I love the Chaotix and I'm mad a missed it. g2g thanx 4 ur help ^_^

1) In Sonic #95-97 he met Merlin. He was never told that Merlin was his uncle.
2) The two worlds seem to be merging (Sonic & co. with Chris' world) as many from Sonic & co.'s world start appearing, including the Chaotix, which has been looking for Cream as part of a case. They assume that Sonic kidnapped Cream based on stories they find of Sonic with Cream. Meanwhile, Sonic runs into Eggman who is supposedly trying to tell Sonic that he's turned over a new leaf when someone appears behind them. The Chaotix arrive at Chris house and see Cream. Eventually, a fight breaks out and Sonic arrives with Vanilla, Cream's mom. Cream is very happy to be reunited with her mom and the case is closed. Other things happened (mostly funny) but that was the major stuff.

The Lost Questions... - Raybob Industries Inc. 1/8/05
You had mentioned at one point how you get some questions that you simply don't know the answers to, so you don't post them. I just thought it would be a nice change if you could tell us what the most interesting question you've ever gotten is, but you didn't know the answer for it.
And if you don't know what the most interesting one is, what's the most common question you get that you can't answer?

Thanks For Your Time.

You can find all sorts of crazy lost questions here. The most common questions are the "How can I get a (insert form) chao?" - Lighthead

  

Art and Sonic Battle - ShadowFan 12/26/04
Can you post any more fan art because I've only seen fan art as recent as 7/18/04 or something. Are you not allowed to post any more? And another question. Is there an easier way to defeat the gaurd robos in Sonic Battle when you're doing knuckles' episode. I just can't seem to defeat the robos at the hotel. Is there an easier way? Remember this question is about Sonic battle.

1) Concerning fan art, read rule #11.
2) While I'm not sure how you're doing it, the easiest way I found to defeat the Guard Robos is to use Knuckles' special attacks, mainly alternating between his air power and ground trap.

Sonic x Comic - Princessjea 12/25/04
Y'all are doing an excellent job on this site! Here's my question:
I heard somewhere that there was going to be a Sonic x comic Jan 2005 :)! Is that so? Are they going to cancel the Achie series? :( I hope not!

Yes, Archie announced that it will be making a Sonic X mini-series to come out in the summer (winter for those in the southern hemisphere) this year. No, they are not cancelling their current series. --True Red

  

How to become Super Sonic - Cheryl 1/6/05
In Sonic the Hedgehog, 1, for the Sega Genesis system, how do you use the emeralds to become Super Sonic? Or is the Super Sonic not available until game 2?

There are only 6 emeralds in Sonic 1. You need 7 for Super Sonic, therefore Super Sonic doesn't exist in Sonic 1. --True Red

  

amy - asd 1/7/05
how old is amy truly? in somepoint didnt she wish on an emrald to make her self older? so isnt she really like 8 or somthing?

In Archie, she is the same age as Tails (a little younger since Tails was born before her). She is physically about the same age as Sally & Mina due to wishing on the Ring of Acorns. It has never been said where she is mentally and that is the constant source of speculation. If Archie continues on its path of making things as similar to the video games as they can where they can (and based on the way she has been acting & looking since Sonic #130), Amy will probably be considered 13, a year older than she is in the video games to coincide with the year jump. --True Red

  

Shadow In Comics - ShadowFan 1/3/05
When did Shadow first appear in the Archie Sonic Comics? I must know.

Chao! - Edward Elric 12/27/04
Hey, Fullmetal here. Got a few questions for ya. (1) In Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (or whatever you want to call it), how many different Chao eggs are there?
(2) What does the Cardboard Box do?
(3)I've read somewhere that Sonic was originally a rabbit or an armadillo. Is that...true? ~_^ Thanks.

1) Twenty-seven counting the default kind and excluding the types obtained through the GBA.
2) It's a hat for chao.
3) The original concept was of a blue rabbit. Later when the rolling idea was thought up the species considered were armadillo and hedgehog. Obviously we know which was picked.

Zorched? - Lyra-Na 12/11/04
I read the review and saw the scans of issue 141 and I learned that Remington was «Zorched». But I can't really get what exactly that means. Can you lighten that up for me?

It was just a sound effect (along the lines of "zap" + "scorch"), not a literal term.

so who does that great theme song?^_^ - Ultimate-Jess 12/11/04
you guys all know that in the sonic games(exept sonic heroes i think)jun senoue does alot of the music and that kinda stuff....
but in sonicX who does the theme song is it just jun senoue or is it someone else???
also in sonic heroes,did jun senoue help with the music?caus they all say that all the work had been done by "crush 40" and some guy named ted poley i think?
P.S. GREAT WEB SITE!!!!!!

The music director for Sonic X's English version is John Sands. The Japanese theme is by Hironobu Kageyama and Hideaki Takatori.
Jun Senoue most certainly did the music for Sonic Heroes, as he was its sound director. Crush 40 is his band - he's its guitarist. Ted Poley, while not a member of Crush 40, lends his vocals to "Lazy Days - Livin' in Paradise" (SA), "Escape From the City" (SA2), and "We Can" (Heroes). Many of the vocal themes in Heroes were created by Jun Senoue in collaboration with other artists.
