    Q&A

    1.How come Sonic was tooken off toon disney? 2.Do you know if Sonic will come on Nickelodeon?I am DYING to know. 3.Who is the strongest of ALL of the Sonic charecters?The fastest? 4.I read in a comic strip that had Knuckles saying “and me and water don’t mix to good.”However, in his level Aquatic Mines in SA2/SA2B, he swims.Does he swim or not? 5.And speaking of swimming,can Sonic swim? 6.Who is more powerful-Sonic or Shadow? That’s it!I hope you answer my questions!

    1) I dunno.
    2) Not likely, but we can always hope.
    3) Read the character profiles, you can probably find thoes answers.
    4) Knux can swim in SA2/Battle, and Sonic Advance.
    5) No. Sonic has proven many times he can swim like a rock. XD
    6) They are evenly matched.

    mistaken from someone eles

    by CATDOG
    Q&A

    1.Why did G.U.N and other people think that was sonic on tv when he wasn’t black? 2.How did sonic got capture in the first scene in the hero story?

    1) It was night, so they either didn’t notice or figured Sonic was attempting to disguise himself–I doubt there are many super fast hedgehogs around.
    2) As it says in SA2 right before City Escape:

    “I’m Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog! Some military troops suddenly showed up saying they were looking for me. Looks like they might be taking me for a ride somewhere! Hey! What’s this? Handcuffs? Wait a minute! What are you talking about? I’m not a deserter from any military facility! I thought it may be some kind of joke, but this isn’t funny! I gotta get out of here!”

    Knuckles Team Up

    by Jason
    Q&A

    In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Knuckles first appeared and he was with Eggman (Robotnik). When did Knuckles team up with Sonic?

    The game Sonic and Knuckles is where Knuckles teamed up with Sonic. Only because Robotnik stole the Master Emerald.

    Sonic timeline

    by $eb
    Q&A

    Where could I find a sonic timeline, which would classify ALL the sonic stories (games, comics, cartoons…) in chronological order ??? Thanks

    There really isn’t a single time line that would put in all the Sonic Universes because each one has its own specific timeline.

    stupid…..

    by RockinTH43
    Q&A

    this is probly the most stupid question i have ever asked,but why does eggman want to destroy sonic?i’m asking this cuz i havn’t watched the old sonic cartoons for a long time.And I also want to know who is a bigger threat to Sonic, shadow or medal sonic?thanks alot!

    Eggman wants to destroy Sonic because the hedgehog is always thwarting his plans to take over the world. As for Shadow and Metal Sonic… while both have similar abilities to Sonic, I’d say Metal is more of a threat seeing as it was built with the sole purpose of defeating/destroying Sonic, while Shadow was only confronting Sonic when he got in the way of his plans. Plus, Shadow turned to Sonic’s side in the end.

    5 question about the games

    by Josh brooks 9/25/02
    Q&A

    1.Was tikal and chaos inside the master emerald in sonic & knuckles? 2. Is sonic & knuckles part 2 of Sonic the hedgehog 3? 3.shouldn’t Sonic CD come out after sonic the hedgehog 3 and sonic & knuckles? 4. long ago Before sonic was saving south island and stopping robotnik in sonic the hedgehog 1, was that the time shadow got lock in the iron gate? 5. Why was sonic at capitol city instead of station square?

    1) For all I know, yes.
    2) Sonic 3 was supposed to have 14 Zones(14th being Doomsday), but Sonicteam ran out of time to finish the game so they released it with only 6 Zones. S&K was then released later the same year to complete the game. So, it could be a part 2.
    3) Sonic CD took place between Sonic 1 and 2.
    4) Yes, Shadow was sealed away into the GUN base 50 years before Sonic was around.
    5) It’s a new setting to run around in, besides it’s not like you could mess around in Adventure Fields.

    Are they?

    by redsonic13
    Q&A

    1. Due to the Space Colony ARK levels in SA2, Sonic and friends can breathe in space? 2. Were the SA3 screenshots that you showed in April an April Fool’s Joke? 3. In Shadow’s level, Sky Chase, on hard mode, was there a secret upgrade that you can get?

    1. I’m assuming there’s some sort of air-containment field around the ARK. In Rouge’s Mad Space, you can see a barrier ring around the lower areas of the level which might be a generator of sorts. Plus, all the walkways (Sonic and Shadow’s levels) and equipment (the trucks in Knuckles’ Meteor Herd) seem to indicate that those areas were meant to be accessible for maintenance. Or, of course, you could just say “it’s a game.”
    2. Yes, they were fake.
    3. Shadow has no level called Sky Chase, so I’m guessing you mean either Sky Rail or Final Chase. Either way, both have an upgrade, but it’s there no matter which mission you’re on.

    Why ARK?

    by Emperor Koopatine
    Q&A

    Why did Robotnik have to worry about ARK, when he could just build another Death Egg? They’re both virtually the same thing.

    Robotnik/Eggman only found out about the ARK when he went looking for his grandfather’s secret weapon, which of course turned out to be Shadow. In turn, Shadow told Eggman about the ARK, informing him that it contained a weapon powerful enough to let him rule the world.

    ~ Crazy C Lea

    Why not Robotnik?

    by Emperor Koopatine
    Q&A

    In every game other than Sonic Adventures 1/2, they refer to Robotnik as Robotnik, yet in the Sonic Adventure series, they call him Dr. Eggman. I know it’s because he’s called Eggman in Japan, but why didn’t they call him Dr. Eggman in the first place?

    Methinks Sega of America thought Robotnik sounded more menacing. 😛

    Map Of Mobius

    by Mean Dean
    Q&A

    Where can i find a map of Mobius for my fanfic? Possibly with all the zones labelled.

    I’m going to assume you mean Archie’s Map of Mobius. If not, there isn’t any “official” map of Mobius. –True Red

    Chemical Plant Tubes: One Way or 2 Ways?

    by DarkPrince the Dark Knight
    Q&A

    Hi! I have a new question regarding both acts of the Chemical Plant Zone in Sonic 2. Whenever you come up to a tube (aka one of the ‘one-way’ tubes that ‘warps’ you to a different area) that goes two ways, I notice that some of the tubes go to one of two areas. Why does this happen? Thanks again.

    The tubes take you to one of two areas at random, so it’s all up to chance unless you use debug mode.

    sonic mega collection?

    by Al
    Q&A

    Is sonic mega colloen(sorry if my spelling is bad) has the game has kunkles chaoix in it?thanks sonic HQ.

    No. Chaotix isn’t on Mega Collection. Only Sonic 1, 2, 3, S&K, Sonic 3D Blast and Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine are on it, and a couple of unlockible games.

    Sa3 or SA1?

    by Vidiogamekid@msn.com
    Q&A

    On www.gamespot.com I was sbrowsing thrue the Gamecube section and I saw somthing that said: Sonic adventure(Workingtitle). is there going to be a Sonic adventure 3? or a Sonic adventure gamecube version?

    Sonic Adventure 1 is the only “Adventure” title coming out, and yes it’s on GCN. An all-new 3D Sonic game in the far-away future. Mega Collection, SA1, and Sonic Advance 2 are the only things at the moment.

    sonic the fighters 2 on gamecube???

    by s_echidna
    Q&A

    hi.my friend told me there is gonig to be a sonic the fighters 2 with constable remington and julie-su in it including the orignal characters for the gamecube coming out at the end of the year.is it true?

    Sorry, but no. There’s absoultly no chance of Sonicteam or AM2(AM2 was the producer of StF) using Archie characters in any of the games, barring Spinball, cause it was produced by Sega of America. StF 2 will not come into being unless they make a GameCube version of StF, and that’s not gonna happen any time soon.

    S3&K question

    by DarkPrince the Dark Knight
    Q&A

    Hi! I have a question regarding Act 2 of the Mushroom Hill Zone in Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Near the end of the act (behind the last star post before Robotnik) is a one way wall which has a couple of monitors behind it, so how can it be reached? Thank you very much.

    The trick is when you use the pump that takes you up, use the left handle. When you get to the top, spind dash to the left and you will be taken up.

    Regarding the voice actress for Bunnie…

    by s0e
    Q&A

    According to the credits in “Dexter’s Laboratory”, Christine Cavanaugh does the voice for Dexter. Is this the same Christine Cavanaugh that does the voice for Bunnie in Sonic SatAM?

    Yes it is. –True Red

    Who is Rouge talking to?

    by Joshallen9217@earthlink.net
    Q&A

    In sonic adventure 2 after rouge and knuckles fight, it apears that rouge allows knuckles to have all of the master emerald pieces just so that it is fully resored. Then she says ”come on lets go” to someone not shown on the screen after knuckles is gone. Who is she talking to?

    I think she’s talking into a hidden mic/bug divice to the President, or someone from GUN, not quite sure.

    Strange…

    by Jitterro
    Q&A

    Why do you suppose Archie would make an adaptation of Sonic Adventure but not Sonic Adventure 2? I was pretty sure they’d make one, and right now I’m kicking myself because I didn’t subscribe earlier and missed issue #98. Drat.

    The SA adaptation was required by Sega. Because things that have been done by both companies, such as Sega refusing to give any info on the actual story of SA so that Archie had to base most of their plot on Spaz’ gameplay & Archie’s publishers cancelling Knuckles & the Super Specials, there’s pretty much been a current agreement for no more full fledged adaptations, just previews/prequels of games that Sega orders. –True Red
