do you buy the sonic cast as being their "canon" ages as of Sonic Frontiers?

-yes, they are still the same age as they were in Heroes

-no, years have passed since Heroes and they are all unspecified ages

-Sonic and Amy had birthdays in the games and therefore are the only characters we can definitively say have aged

-Sonic characters are effectively ageless and the ages we were given are just more information for the wiki

-other/nuance

sources under the cut since there's actually a lot on jason's age:

tim says he's 13 in a lonely place of dying (his intro), so that's straightforward.

now for jason, his age wasn't technically stated in any panels, but they established that he was 12 in the q&a section

this is further supported by character bios saying jason was 9 when he met batman, and the story with his intro was said to take place 3 years in the past (so 9 + 3 = 12).

if you'd prefer some evidence from within the story itself, jason says he's in 7th grade (7th graders are typically 12-13)

aaaaaand if you do the math on this imaginary gravestone, he's 12 (1974 - 1986).

i'm just gonna assume that jason would've also turned 13 by a lonely place of dying if he were alive, since i don't see any reason to think tim was meant to be older than jason. several months passed between jason's death and tim's intro after all.

Do you want Sonic Prime to be canon to the games?

Yes, that would be cool

No, it doesn’t fit with the mainline games

Only certain parts of it, like the Prism itself

I’ve never seen Prime/Results

What do you think the in-fiction reason silver never went back in time to help in games before Sonic ‘06/rivals is?

His method of time travel only takes him so far back

None of the events resulted in a bad enough future to warrant it

The “Shadows Silver’s dad” theory is true and Silver doesn’t want to BttF himself

Blaze wasn’t around then and he’d miss her

Something something time stones

(You can add more options if you think of any)
