Sonic Q&A Logo
Welcome to Sonic HQ's Q&A Page! Here, we'll answer all your questions about Sonic related stuff. Be it game, comics, cartoons, or anything else, we'll dig up the answers for you. Of course, don't ask stupid or rated R questions like "Why is Sonic naked?" or "How come Sally always walks around with her clothes open?" Also, don't type in CAPS when you write us, they'll be tossed to the trash right away. And as a final note, any flames will be laughed at, mocked, and thrown happily into my computers recycle bin. ^_^ Now finally, this page will be updated every week. Email your questions to here, and here only! Real Tails will be answering your questions. That is all....

Before submitting a question, please read our Sonic FAQ to see if it can provide you with an answer instead.

Page News: April 23, 2002 - New Rules
  1. Please send only Sonic questions and questions about the site. Please do not send any ideas, personal opinions, and non-Sonic questions.
  2. Please don't ask for my opinion on a question. My opinion is different from yours and thus it will cause problems.
  3. Please don't send tons of e-mails with 1 question in them. It fills my inbox up fast and it prevents me from answering other people's questions. Put all those questions in 1 e-mail and send it to me, but don't keep sending multiple question e-mails day after day as that gets tedious.
  4. PLEASE, PLEASE, check the FAQ before sending a question. I'm sick of getting questions asking when the cartoons are on and such. I'm not physic and I don't know where you live. Your local listings will answer that question. I am no longer kidding on this one people. LOOK AT THE FAQ BEFORE YOU SEND YOUR QUESTION!
  5. DON'T SEND PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ME! I don't care to know your real name, phone number, address, etc... I can't send you merchaindise nor am I going to increase my long distance bill.
  6. Please don't send questions during days when Q&A is closed, such as holidays and days I'm out of state. I will delete these questions instantly and you will not recieve an answer.
  7. Please don't start yelling at me because I give you a different answer than what you thought. My answers come from my 7+ years of knowledge of Sonic and research from websites.
  8. Please remember that I do reserve the right to refuse to answer questions due to inapporiate conduct.
  9. Debates will not be tolerated within the e-mail. Trying to start a debate will result in your e-mail being ignored.
  10. Failure to follow ANY of these rules will result in your question being deleted and unanswered. Thank you.

Still Alive? With Proof?!

I have seen images of Shadow in Sonic Advance over the internet, is it possible he survived that fall to the earth? I mean, he was Super Shadow.

Actually he was not really Super Shadow, he ran out of power at the last second, which was what caused him to fall in the first place. However I wouldn't trust those pictures until Sonic Advanaced comes out. On a 2D game, it's extremely easy to take the Sonic sprite and change it to a Shadow one. - Ron Prower

Rivals, Still

How come Knuckles and Sonic hate each other so much?

Knuckles was orginally tricked into thinking that Sonic was really the bad guy, back in Sonic 3. Even though they joined forces, Knuckles still doesn't trust Sonic completely because of the way Sonic acts. - Ron Prower

Chao Question

Do both chao have to be in their mating season to mate?

Yes, one of the chao have to be in the mating season to mate. - Ron Prower

Sonic CD Location

I am a huge sonic fan I have loved sonic since the first day I played it and I have a couple of questions first off where does Sonic CD take place if it doesn't take place on South Island or Westside Island, is it on a different planet then Mobius?

Sonic CD takes place on the Little Planet which apppears on Mobius after every so many years. - Ron Prower

Using Super Attacks?

In SA2 in the Sonic VS Shadow final, Tails VS Dr.Eggman final, and Knuckles vs Rouge, is there a way to use the special attacks? For example, you're Sonic and the opponent is Shadow. Shadow can use the Chaos Spear and you can't use the Sonic Wind. Then the other way around Sonic can use the Sonic Wind but Shadow can't the Chaos Spear. And the human player can't use the Chaos Control but either way the computer will. Is there a way?

Not in any of the story battles, only in vrs. can both characters use their super attacks. - Ron Prower

Amy + Sonic

How did Sonic and Amy meat up?

Sonic and Amy met when Hyper Metal Sonic captured her back in Sonic CD. - Ron Prower

The Q&A will re-open on Sunday, but I repeat, DO NOT send any between Wednesday through Saturday, I will only delete them if I see them in my inbox. Thank you for your co-operation and have a Happy Thanksgiving. - Ron Prower

Playing As Super Sonic?

Is it in any way possible to play supersonic on sonic's stages in SA2?

No there is no way to play Super Sonic in SA2's regular stages unless you know how to re-program games. - Ron Prower

Finding Some Shows For Sale

Do you know anybody that sells Sonic The Hedgehog TV show or Sonic Underground?

The Sonic the Hedgehog TV show (SatAM) is coming out on VHS, your best place to find it would probably be Suncoast Motion Picture Company or any place that would sell children's videos. As for Sonic Underground, there are no plans to have that sold on the market yet. - Ron Prower

Defeating A Prototype

Is there is an easy way to clear the "biolizard" (prototype of ultimate life form in Last Story Mode)? I always die when he´s starting "blowing pink bubbles". Only once I have managed to get up on his back when he blows bubbles...and he attacks me when I try to "collect energy" (Like Sonic uses the "acient light"). Can you give some better advice than "the blue robot" does?

The best way to dodge those energy balls, is the low ones you jump over and the ones in the air you roll under. When you have to use the spheres to get up, use the joystick to steer yourself towards the power pack. - Ron Prower

Changing Some Options

Is it possible to change the "movement bit" from "analog thumb pad" to "D-pad"? How in that case? And is it possible to play versus the computer in SA or in SA2? In SA2 you only seem able to play versus a friend. Can you play versus computer?

Sorry, Sonic Team didn't put any of those options in the game for people to do. They wanted to make is a party game and give better control than a D-pad could support. - Ron Prower

Rouge's Final Part

In "Last story" mode I have got to "Rouge´s time", I´ve cleared both Tails and Eggman, what am I supposed to do? The only thing I do is to get as high as I can and pull the "thing" to stop the time. What am I supposed to do to pass trough?

Once you hit the time freeze, glide down the the bottom there is a door there that was previously blocked by orange beams. You'll land on a platform surrounded by the block dice boxes. Using the time freeze on the wall freeze the blocks just as one leaves the opening above the switch. Go down that tunnel and the switch is down there. All you have to do is make you're back to hit the main switch. - Ron Prower

Wild Canyon

When you need to find the pieces of the master emerald in Hard Mode at "Wild Canyon" I don´t know what "secret room" I´m supposed to go to. If it is the one that U usually find the "mystic ruin" in, how am I supposed to jump up through the hole in the ceiling??? Or am I at the wrong place?

Go up the the air chamber and look around the bottom of the ditch when you come up, you'll see a painting, dig into it and it will bring you to a room with more paintings. Put on the sunglasses and you'll see the correct way to go. - Ron Prower
