Tales of Tails' Tails

How did Tails get two tails?

One of the more commonly asked questions. A lot of theories on this one, too. However, Sonic Kids #2 has officially brought forth the answer that Tails was somehow born with those two tails of his.

Sonic Anime

Hello, Flyer here...
I have a question concerning the Sonic Anime cartoon. Is there any swearing in it? I plan to buy it as soon as it comes out if there is none.
Well, Take Care
Flyer

Well... all that I have to go by are the translations from the Anime in Japan as provided by Alessandro Sanasi. As he writes it, there are a couple of instances where they exclaim "Crap!", but from what I read, that's about it.

However, there is one scene in which Sonic uses an offensive gesture.

SatAM

Dear Sonic HQ,
My question is will the Sonic the Hedgehog Satam cartoon series come back on televison and if so, when? And will it be new or old reruns? Just curious cus I would mind watching them again so I would like to know the answer to my question, please. Thanx.

At this point in time, no one plans on re-airing the SatAM series anytime soon. In the meantime, word from DiC is that they are reproducing some of the SatAM videos that they first sold a couple years back. However, those tapes only feature first season episodes.

Various Questions

Hi guys. You really have a great site. I was just wondering:

Do you guys think that Sega and Squaresoft could work together to make a Sonic game?

What is this Sega World I keep on hearing about?

Will DiC or Sega ever start selling tapes of Sonic Satam's second season?.

Thanks,
Dustin R.

1) At this point, the two sides haven't agreed to the idea. It would prove interesting, though. Maybe that could amount to the purest Sonic RPG of all time. But that's just my take on it.

2) SEGA WORLD is an amusement park in Australia devoted to the SEGA and its characters. They have a website at http://www.segaworld.com.au/ so you can see what they've got. You can even buy stuff from them, too. I did.

3) The way things stand right now, they're not. However, I've heard a rumor or two saying that they might. I wouldn't believe the hype, though, unless someone could offer proof.

Another Series?

Will there be another series or movie serial?

We have the Sonic Underground series ready to start in the U.S. soon, but outside of that, no other major television ideas have been conceived.

Comics Update

Hi, I E-mailed you guys earlier, and in that E-Mail, I stated the fact that I missed out on LOTS of the comics (I think). Well, For some reason (dont ask why) I stopped reading the comics at issue 62. Now its more than a year later and I want the comics again! So, I was wondering, if you could give me a BRIEF lo-down on whats been happening since then- did I hear about Sonic getting married, or something? I stopped right when King Acorn was telling Sally to Marry Antoine- but never found out how it ended up! PLEASE TELL ME so I can understand whats going on when I renew my Sonic Subscription! By the way, I DID check the "Comics" section of your page first, but something screws up when I try to go to the "Comics Archive".
Please help me!
Chris Aroo

Well, if you're interested in the wedding angle, that has yet to be resolved. In fact, that will be addressed again in a few weeks when Sally actually does undergo that rite which King Acorn asked her to go through.

As a recap, let's quickly review what's happened until now:

> Sonic & Tails found and defeated Naugus thanks to the help of an overlander named Nate Morgan. Nate is an Overlander who was the real creator of the power ring and a lot of the major advances in technology, NOT Uncle Chuck.

> King Acorn sent Geoffrey St. John and a Secret Service team to the Floating Island to find the long-lost Queen Alicia and Prince Elias. They were successful, but Queen Alicia is on life-support, and Elias has been named the next to throne even though he doesn't want it.

> Robotnik has returned, sort of. Robo-Robotnik from Sonic #19 crossed dimensions and attacked through a giant space station. He has since reclaimed Mobotropolis and re-captured the roboticized population, except for Sonic's parents. However, his robotic body was destroyed, and he now assumes the form of Eggman from the Sonic Adventure games.

Those have been the 3 key angles that have gone on in the last year and a half. What do you think?

Knuckles' Appearances

What issues of Archie's Sonic did Knuckles appear in between #13 and #29? I'm trying to find them all. Thanks :)

True Red

The only issues that Knuckles appeared in within that time span are the Sonic & Knuckles special, the Triple Trouble special, and the Chaotix special. As you can see, he was really only a bit player at the time.

2 Questions

I have two questions

1. Exactly what is the difference between the chaos emeralds and the super emeralds of Floating Island?

2. What is the Little Planet?

These are the only questions I have, I'm a real hard core Sonic fan.

1) The Super Emeralds are supposed to be the rarest of all the power sources on the entire planet of Mobius. Very few, if any, are supposed to exist anymore. Based on how the comics depict them, the Super Emeralds are hundreds of times more powerful than the standard Chaos Emeralds.

2) The Little Planet was created for the Sonic CD game on the now-defunct SEGA CD platform. According to the plotline, it's a moon of sorts that appears above a place on Mobius called Never Lake for a span of a few days annually. It's also the home of the Time Stones. Robotnik tried to claim the Time Stones, and also sent Metal Sonic to capture Amy Rose. This brought Sonic onto the scene, who captured all the Time Stones, rescued Amy Rose, and restored the Little Planet to its proper state.

Sonic Underground

what time and channel is sonic underground on ?

It's part of BKN2 (Bohbot Kids' Network 2), one of the 2 groups of cartoons sold by Bohbot to local stations. You'll probably find it in the morning on a UPN, WB, Fox, or independent channel.

Sonic RPG No Longer A Demo

Is Sonic RPG Still being made? The demo is great!
Thanks

Sadly, no. The project was cancelled.

Sally / Amy in Sonic CD

Wasn't Sally in the story of the Sonic Cd instruction manual? If I remember correctly, she was kidnapped by Robotnik when they were looking at the little planet.
Name Redacted

Sort of. It was actually Amy. When the manual was translated to English, Amy was given the name "Princess Sally", probably as a tie-in with the soon-to-be-released SatAM cartoon.

The Games Factory and The Mecha Sonics

Ive downloaded all the fan games some are good some are not my kind well anyways theyre all maken with The Games Factory how or where can I get it I wanna make my own fan game oh and if you wanna chat with me on the aol buddy chat my screen name is METALLAGEX all the letters are capital thats it for now and a final question are the mecha sonics (the one in Sonic CD and the one in Sonic & Knuckles and in Sonic 3 & Knuckles )the same one?

1. The Games Factory is made by Europress Software (www.europress.co.uk). I'm not sure if it can be bought in a store in North America, but I think it is for sale on their website.
2. The Mecha Sonics... That's a good question. It's hard to say if they were the same or not. The Silver Sonic from Sonic 2 is definitely a different robot - both Mecha and Silver appear in Sonic Adventure. However, since the 'hybrid' design from S3&K doesn't make an appearance, it's possible that the S3&K Mecha was just the normal one, but with different armor. On the other hand, the CD Mecha has made many appearances (Sonic Adventure, Knuckles' Chaotix, Sonic Triple Trouble, the racing games), and he didn't have an alternate armor in any of those games.

Pandemonium!

Now that Sonic Pandemonium is down, do you know where to find the full collection of Satam Episodes?

It's back up now. You can get the link from the Directory.

3 Questions

1) What Does AoSTH stand for?
2) Where can i find a ROM of Knuckles Chaotix?
3) How many people think Sonic Underground should be where its namesuggests?
Scott I. Prower

1. Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog
2. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be one. Contrary to popular belief, there are 32X emulators, but no Chaotix ROM.
3. *Raises hand enthusiastically* I do! I (Vec) finally saw part of an episode yesterday, and I could very easily rant about what I thought of it. However, this isn't the place. Let's just say that they should NOT have let Jaleel White do all 3 hedgehogs...

Sonic on DC

Will "Sonic Adventure" be the only Sonic game on the "Dreamcast"?
Michael

Let's hope not! There have been a lot of unconfirmed rumors about other games, but no proof yet. Unfortunately, the wait for the next Sonic game on DC might be longer than expected - Sonic Team is apparently working on a new game, and it's not Sonic Adventure 2. The good news is that there are other development groups that could potentially make a Sonic game.
