Sonic Fans: Bring In A Non-Game Character to the Games

[CMWaters]

So recently a gave a younger friend of mine who is just getting into the Sonic franchise (the poor bastard) a bit of a crash course in all the timelines and continuities of Sonic the Hedgehog. Got me to thinking (in addition to learning two IDW Sonic characters made it into one of the mobile games): if you were to introduce a character from non-game media to be an in-game character, who would you pick? You can go from any of the shows (though with Boom and X you pretty much got all the important ones), any of the comics, whatever. With one exception just to give a bit of a challenge.

This character is off the table since most would probably pick her:

Yes, I'm removing Sally Acorn from the options just because she would be too obvious, in either design (though if she was put in a game it would probably be the one on the right, if just to have her have the wrist blades for a unique mechanic). So anyone reading this thread, someone BESIDES Sally (and that includes you if you hop in here, Clash, Never a Meter Maid )

That said, sticking with the Archie timeline, I'd probably go with the other top non-game lady of the series: Bunnie Rabbot. Assuming they give her a different gameplay style ala the Adventure games, I could see her playing like a mix of Mega Man and Gamma from Adventure 1. Plus, maybe they could sneak in her being related to Cream like was done in one of the reality warps in the comics.

Runner up just to give her a different, non Jaleel White voice would be Sonia from Sonic Underground.

IDW is filled with many potential characters, but I'd probably go with Dr. Starline. Excellently crafted villain (potentially the best non-Robotnik one ever created) that contrasts with Eggman and has some interesting villainous creations that differ from badniks.

He doesn't count. He's in Triple Trouble, The Fighters and more recently he cameoed in Mania as the wizard member of the villain group used magic.

Now, him having further appearances, that's a different story. Also he had a sister in one of the series of comics IIRC.

Hmm alright then lets try this one.

[CMWaters]

Hmm...how would be a question, though I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Breezie.

HA we got a winner alright then I am gonna for seconds...or is it thirds either way lets get Shard in a game.



Or would that just be Metal Sonic all over again.

I mean you could also disqualify Sally because "Sally Acorn" is a character in the games... as just the squirrels you save.

Replace the entire Sonic rogues gallery besides Eggman with the Lightning Bolt Society from Sonic Boom.

So how long before Ken Penders sues everyone

[The Dark Order Inferno]

Lara Su, in her post Archie lawsuit form. It's been a while since we've had some Ken Penders drama.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

I nominate Elias Acorn because I don't give two craps about what Ken Penders and Sega Japan want. I just want my fluffy prince back.



Developers could easily incorporate his and Sally's blades into a 2D environment to break down obstacles.

Do like the first cartoon, have her really be one of Eggman's robots

[Malcolm]

Professor Von Schlemmer

A reclusive scientist and friend of Professor Pickle who one day managed to get his hands on a Chaos Emerald. His skin turned green due to overexposure of chaos radiation. He'd be an NPC, though, and the story would be something along the lines of Sonic needing to rescue him because Eggman captured him to build him something.

Sneaky way around my first post restriction.

Tekno the Canary. And then change Amy's outfit to the Fleetway one and let them be gay.

It's weird how such terrible games led to such a fun cartoon thanks to the writers realising no really gave a damn what they were doing.

It's like they were given the show bible from the game developers, that was their only source of communication from Sega themselves and then someone in the room went "Let's do an episode where Eggman has to hold a dinner for a homeowner's group who want to throw him out for breaking a robot rule except his robots are out of control because of the high amount of solar power they have now. Oh and Sonic and his friends are dealing with a heatwave." and everyone realized they could actually get away with it.

And bring in Tangle and Whisper to make it gayer.

Well, those two have made it to game form already...though both mobile games (mobile version of Forces and Dash).

Jewel the Beetle has yet to appear though...
