Probably the worst canon thing to happen to sonic is when his two children get deleted from existence. A runner up is the fact that, due to his devil-may-care personality, he wasn't even allowed to weep when it happened because the people who owned the rights to sonic said he doesn't cry.

First: as a player of the older games and a reader of the comics (I'm old enough to have bought the subscription in the first issue that they offered it) I demand that I receive a point for answering Nack the Weasel for Fang the Sniper since that was his original name. Second: I'm upset that Mike didn't show a picture of Tails with the only correct answer being "Miles Prower".

I can imagine Luke sitting at home watching this and shouting the answers. 4:46 You can look unsure Mr Farrant, but there is no way you've not seen an episode of OSW and therefore know it's encoded with Blast Processing.

[@narcspector]

EDIT: OK I lied, I am gonna reference the video: the fact that Mike somehow remembered one of the best OXBOX moments in history: when Jane AND Andy said *"There's NO way you're gonna kill him from here with a pistol"* - and Mike _immediately_ does exactly that, without hesitation. It was truly the unofficial beginning of "Just do it and be a Legend," and also of Mike's bizarre out-of-left field clutch moments that no one expects to work😂 Gotta respect the *Callback Meta,* and Mike's clever reply "You've said that to me before..." _slow clap_ 👏👏👏

[@thesixthkid7689]

Devs in 2006: *Learn about the pop star* I have an idea. Personally I didn't feel like the glitches were a problem unless you intentionally ran into them. That said it didn't feel like a Sonic game, it was missing something. I think it was the characters speed, like somehow Sonic, Shadow and Blaze are fast but everyone else move like snails. The jump attacks too. Didn't feel right.
