    Tails the Flyer

    Could a player make Tails fly on Sonic the Hedgehog 2?

    Tails cannot fly in Sonic 2 by control, however you can make him move like Sonic does. It’s only in Sonic 3 when Tails can do that.

    update

    I went on your comics section to find out where to get Archie’ sonic comic but when i got on the sites they didn’t sell any. So please be more careful

    You’d be wrong. Any site that doesn’t automatically list the comics tells you (IF you read the site) that they’ll order any comics for you that you ask them for. All those sites are verified by people who do get or have recently gotten their comics from them (they don’t just come out of the blue), especially the UK ones. So do some reading. –True Red

    Chao & Sonic X

    Q1:What Chao Drives do you have to give to a chao to make it a Shadow Chao? Q2:When will SOnic X be airing in America?

    1. Use green Chaos Drives.
    2. September.

    How do I get to the goal on time?

    Right now I’m on the fourth missions of Radical Highway and Final Chase, but no matter how hard I try I just can’t seem to get to the goal before time runs out. Can you help me?

    As a general tip, try using spindashes rather than running.

    Who’s who?

    I’ve got three questions today. I need some identifications of some Knuckles comic characters that I don’t recognise. (1) The red echidna on the cover of Knuckles in the blue boots and green glasses, (2) The snarling brown echidna with big white eyebrows on the cover of Knuckles #23, (3) The red echidna in Sonic #90 that looks almost exactly like Gala-Na. Is it Gala-Na? If so, why is she a different colour.

    1. Edmund, the first Guardian.
    2. Benedict, the Dark Legion’s candidate for an election in Echidnaopolis.
    3. It’s still Gala-Na, just miscoloured.

    i was on sega’s new sonic site an i saw a checklist for sonic games at the end it said “gray=not yet released” what is gray?is it a new system or something?

    It means the games haven’t been released yet.

    Credits

    Can I copy and paste stuff from your site onto mine as long as I give you credit?

    No. Do your own work in terms of writing information. –True Red

    Sonic Heroes?

    Hey, I was checking the News section and saw the awesome screenshots for Sonic Heroes but two questions- where is Mighty and who is that yellow Hedgehog in the background of the group pic? Thanks loads!

    Sonic Team chose three Chaotix members to be in the game and that’s who they chose. The yellow hedgehog you’re probably seeing in the center is Cream.

    Weird, metal, Dr. Eggman boxes

    On level 12 on the hero side in story mode I’m trying to find these keys, but there are metal boxes with Dr. Eggman’s picture on them that I can’t get through. I’ve tried whistling, digging, and throwing stuff at them. Do you know how to break them?

    In the beginning of the level(Death Chamber), hit the hourglass that is on the platform you’re facing. Head through the door that opens in front of you, you’ll see regular wooden crates to the left of you. Break them and there will be an upgrade. Get it, and now you’ll be able to break the steel containers.

    Sonic Adventure Emblems

    Dear HQ, Is there any reward for getting all the emblems in Sonic Adventure? I was thinking about the secret costumes in SA2 and I figured there must be something you get. Thanx guys.

    No, there isn’t. SA:DX should have a reward on the other hand. –True Red

    Character question

    I was surching for character profoles, and I searched for the Brotherhood of Gaurdians, and in the picture, I know who all the people in the picture are, except the one in the front with the robes, the staff, and the totally white eyes; WHO IS THAT?!?!?!?!? He isn’t even in the list the members in the Brotherhood.(I checked) COuld you tell me who he is?

    Yes he is, unless you mean the “living” list which he wouldn’t be in because he’s dead. His name is Mathias. –True Red

    Something Old, Something New

    O.K. In a previous question, I asked about the DL’s location. I’ve finally got round to actually taking your advice and looking in the Encyclopedia. What I’d like to know now is, where is the Twilite zone located on the map of the Floating Island that was published in Knuckles ? Also, just out intrest, which issue was K:20YL? I’d just like to thank all the great people who answer peoples questions, you’ve done great with the site and I hope you reach your Silver Jubilee. You guys deserve it! ^_^

    1) The Twilight Zone is the name for a limbo-like dimension the Dark Legion was trapped in. It’s not on the Floating Island.
    2) K:20YL is the name of a storyline for a Sonic Super Special that was never printed by Archie due to the cancellation of the Super Specials, but since it was due to be released spoilers about the special are relatively common knowledge. What Archie decided to do (probably because fans have known about it since 1998 and been asking for it for years now) is that starting soon after Sonic they will do a revamped version of it called “Mobius: 25 Years Later” in the regular Sonic comic as a back-up story.

    robotnik, eggman, i’m confused

    I’ve allways thaugt that Dr. Robotnik and Dr. Eggman were the same thing but some people tell me that Dr. Robotnik is Dr. Eggman’s father or even grandfather. Which is true?

    Dr. Robotnik is Dr. Eggman’s old name – Eggman was his name in Japan, and in recent games they’re using his original name, so it refers to the same person. However, Dr. Gerald Robotnik is Dr. Eggman’s grandfather.

    1 & 2) The games page can answer those questions.
    3 & 4) The info on the comics scans page dealing with the original promo comic can answer that.
    5) The store page will tell you how to buy (as well as paying attention to the news page). If you read the rules you’d know how we answer “watch” and downloads are not supported here.

    Tikal

    In “Profile”, I saw that Tikal appeared in Sonic Adventure 2 for Dreamcast. When did she appear in it, because I don’t remember seeing her in that game?

    She appears in the two player mode after completing all of Knuckles’ levels with an ‘A’ ranking.

    More Chao

    My strongest Chao (Mystic) is an age 3 Chao and he hasn’t changed since age 1. Do you think he’ll ever change?

    At that point, it won’t change on its own until it dies/reincarnates at age five. If you want it to change its appearance, you have to make it do so by giving it chaos drives of a single type.
