What if it doesn't have to be this way forever? From my point of view, here are my top 10 key pieces for Sonic Universe!
1. - Like from both games and comic book series, the Freedom Fighters exists in Sonic's world. In that version when Sonic first encountered with Badniks he shattered and rescue most critters from the capsule, but what he didn't expect when he freed Princess Sally, who leads the Freedom Fighters with Antoine and Bunnie. Along the way, they became friends after Sonic joins the club to foil Dr. Robotnik's scheme from conquering Mobius.
2. - Most characters were wiped out from the Genesis Wave (due to Pender's legal issue), however in alternate universe where most families still exists including Sonic and Tails families. Meanwhile, Prince Elias and Queen Alicia survive the crash and adapt to survive. As for Locke, Knuckles' father who was guarding the Master Emerald until he vanished without a trace, leaving Knuckles the last of his kind. Or so he thought.
3. - The Warp Ring (or Ring Portal) can fully access to any locations from Mobius or any dimensions like Earth and other worlds that I don't need to mentioned.
4. - Based off from Sonic X and Sonic Films, both Mobius and Earth were separate worlds in different galaxies. In 1960's, Guardian of Unit Nation was formed after the U.S. project launch into space to set their foot on moon and then later the Space Colony Ark was built by Professor Gerald Robotnik in exchange for funding Project: SHADOW in order to find a cure for his granddaughter, Maria until the government fear that Shadow was far too dangerous. When Maria risk her life to save Shadow, but what he didn't noticed that one of G.U.N. Agent was mind control by none other than a Black Alien parasite to make him think that humans did this.
5. - Based off from Sonic Archie, the Echidna Clan were formed into different group. Some other tribe, the Knuckles Clan have vanished by Chaos after disrupting peace to obtain the Master Emerald while the Owl Clan had managed to sealed away with Tikal sealed herself and Chaos in order to protect the world from destruction. Most of the clan survived, but a technocratic organization, the Dark Legion formed by Dimitri's son, Menniker after the echidnas' society on Angel Island renounced technology.
6. - Like every origin, we don't know how Sonic and Tails were orphans when they first met. In that version, Sonic was born with chaos energy before he lost his parents and was taken in by Longclaw, the last of her kind for protection. Unfortunately, Longclaw sacrifice herself to save Sonic from the Echidna Clan while gave him the warp ring to jump through the portal. As the years passed, Sonic first met Tails, then rescuing Amy, first match with Knuckles, and many friends and foes along the way until a shocking discovery that his real family is still alive!
7. - Unlike any versions, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik was born from Earth where he was bullied by some kids, treating him like an outcast, and then he graduated from collage as a brilliant scientists. Some people believe that the multiverse is impossible to exist, but Eggman on the other hand when he studies and theorized that the multiverse exists. So, he invented the portal to prove the world that it exist, but that is when the science project has gone horribly wrong and he went vanish through the portal. That is how he ended up in planet Mobius, but with a great cost when he slowly becoming evil with corruption with greed for power by turning his victims into his slave to build the Eggman Empire!
8. - While most of us knew that the dinosaurs went extinct, but some others theorized that the aliens abduct the dinosaurs from Earth. From that version, the alien race known as the Bem first came to Earth to study prehistoric species. When the meteor crash landed to Earth, the Bem has managed to save any species by capturing and relocate them to a different planet. Or two in case for Sonic's world and the other for Dinosaur Planet.
9. - Back on Mobius, a lot of race like anthropomorphic animals are evolving for over thousands of years just as humans do. They built their homes into cities, travel by cars or planes, crop their plants or cooking meal (made of out tofu), and even forming the alliance to unite with each other to maintain peace from war.
10 - Finally, some locations exist in Sonic's world where Nicole, an A.I. that reprogrammed the nanites to built the New Mobotropolis and protect the citizens from any threats like the Eggman Empire. Therefore, the Knothole Village was rebuilt with the help of the Resistance and forming the alliance to stop Eggman from conquering the world.
And that's a wrap folks! What do you think? Is it too much or is it just way beyond the multiverse? Please comment respectfully and let me know how this version fits for my headcanon of Sonic the Hedgehog!
