THEY CARE FOR EACHOTHER. SO MUCH

[eldritchgriffin]

Some screenshot highlights from me playing Sonic Chronicles, because this game is a lot funnier than I expected

Eggman found an Atomic Defragulator

Shadow and Omega are friends!

To Sonic:

There's nothing really special here, I just like giant scorpions as enemies

My favorite Eggman line:

"Why are you going on the rooftop?"

Prune juice is an item in the game

You can find a bottle in the outhouse...

Possible Silver/Echidna/Ancient connections

In Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood there is another tribe of echidnas called the Nocturnus Clan. The Nocturnus Clan was incredibly technologically advanced and nearly conquered the world thousands of years ago before they were trapped in another dimension with powerful alien races by an entity called the Argus.

This game and the stuff in it is considered non-canon now due to legal issues that we are definitely not here to talk about but it was canon when it came out and different echidna tribes are referenced in Sonic Frontiers. The ancient portal technology in that game is also similar to the gear themed technology used by the Nocturnus Clan. So there's hope of Nocturnus or a rewritten version of them still being canon. Silver has many similarities to the Nocturnus clan and their creations.

Silver is visually similar to Imperator Ix, the leader of the Nocturnus Clan (Especially the cuffs which are similar to Silver's)

The patterns on Silver's gloves and cuffs are also similar to the ones in Nocturne and the Cyberspace Portals in Sonic Frontiers.

The convex patterns on Silver's cuffs can be found throughout Nocturne.

Silver's front quills have a similar structure to the head crests of the Gizoids created by the Nocturnus Clan.

The big quills on the back of Silver's head are similar to the tentacles that Chaos and The Ancients have on the back of their heads.

Silver's big quills seem to have blood vessels? He puts bandages on them in Sonic Channel artwork and gets blood stains on them in IDW. Maybe they are tentacles?

Sonic Team has foreshadowed connections with visual similarities before. In Shadow The Hedgehog before you find out that Shadow is part Black Arms you can see throughout the game that the Black Arms have red patterns like Shadow and in Sonic Unleashed before you find out that the Werehog is a portion of Dark Gaia you can see that Dark Gaia monsters have the same stretchy arms and attack patterns as the Werehog.

One of the alien races trapped in Twilight Cage with the Nocturnus Clan in Sonic Chronicles called the Voxai has psychic powers like Silver. They have the psychic ability to fly like Silver and control minds.

One of the leaders of the Voxai named Leucosia has the same colors as Silver's powers and patterns similar to Silver's PK Marks.

The only named place in Silver's (good) future that we've seen is Onyx Island in Sonic Rivals. Onyx Island is actually the future version of Angel Island which is the home of the Knuckles Clan, The Master Emerald and Sky Sanctuary. Sky Sanctuary also has advanced ancient technology and patterns similar to the ones on Silver's gear.

We don't know how connected to Onyx Island Silver is but it is the first place we see him after the reset in 06.

This could just be because of his powers but Silver is very upper body oriented. He never kicks like Sonic and Shadow do. Whenever Silver does get physical he always punches things which makes his fighting style more similar to Knuckles and the echidnas than his fellow hedgehogs.

Cyber Sonic's eyes are similar to the eyes Silver has in concept art.

Shade the Echidna !!

I felt like replicating one of her official artworks since the majority of them are super low resolution and I've been seeing people struggle drawing fanart because of it.

I tried to get as close as I could to her design, and carefully color picked her palette using her in-game sprites for the closet color matches.

(This image is mirrored for some reason, it should be the other way around.)

I've seen a handful of fanart where her colors aren't quite right, sometimes she's more orange than she actually is (probably the fault of the official art having a colored overlay), her markings are often drawn as some kind of cream or tan color. It's actually more of a bright pastel pink! Her bodysuit also often is drawn incorrectly due to the resolution of the source images, and I don't blame you, I've drawn it wrong too.

I'm also including a flat color version with her accurate colors too! Feel free to color pick from it or use it as a reference for drawing!

Our girl needs some love ♡

Worst Video Game Song Tournament - Round 1 Match 17

Nocturne - Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

VERSUS

Ancient Chozo Ruins - Metroid II: Return of Samus

FIGHT!

I would recommend listening to as much as you can of each song before voting, but how you choose is up to you! Remember to be civil in the tags and replies!

Propaganda under cut:

Nocturne:

"The context makes this music so much worse haha.

There was a change in management extremely late in development and the music rights no longer belonged to the developer. They had a week to remake the soundtrack and recycled music from old games. It is in extremely bad midi form because the game got rushed. instruments were missing and it was too late to fix."

Ancient Chozo Ruins

"It sounds a shitty drunk clown song that's sped up and slowed down at random intervals. Also it plays for, like, half the game, so you're listening to this awful little loop for HOURS. During a game where you're a bounty hunter tracking and killing H R Giger-style alien monsters. It doesn't fit the vibes of the game at ALL. It makes the game completely unplayable with the sound on."

Feel free to add more propaganda in the tags and replies, or send it to me in the ask box and I'll try to share it as soon as I can!

I'm somewhat surprised no one has started feverishly worshipping chronicles yet. That says a lot considering what the fandom is willing to brainwash themselves into thinking is a masterpiece. Chronicles really is just that bad lmao.

Don't speak too soon. While not as ubiquitous as '06 white knights, some people have tried to defend Sonic's characterization in that game by claiming the dialogue system justifies it (even though he still comes off as OoC even when you pick the so-called nicer options, and Unleashed did the concept a lot better despite coming out the same year), and predictably, there have been people who tout the game as a whole as better than the Pontaff games because "they tried to bastardize the series into becoming something else".

It's not too surprising, since Chronicles has more in common with Archie if anything. And we all know fans can't get enough of Archie...

Aglafhg fajlj OH MY GOD. I was playing Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood and I just had the most incredible glitch. Sonic and Shadow were doing an attack but Sonic just

Started T-posing???? I was so caught off-guard that I messed up the attack and THEN

Eggman started A-posing!? I didn't have time to record it, but he was just sliding across the ground and slowly spinning. Needless to say, I failed that attack too. Not that it mattered since...

As if ALL THAT wasn't enough, my game froze, and I couldn't get it to start up again! T-posing Sonic and Eggman just crashed my game!?!what the hell is this!?!?

Love Shade my friend Shade, wish her game was better and wish she wasn't made non-canon bdkebdek
