Sonic Media with weird Canoncity

Classic Games:

With South Island, West Side Island and Angel Island all somehow being home to the Chaos Emeralds and the color and number inconsistancy, it's implied there were multiple sets of Chaos Emeralds before Sonic Adventure retconned it

The Special Stages were described as distortions in Sonic 1, in Triple Trouble they called Subspace and Fang lives in them, however Ian Flynn has retconned the Special Stages as non canon

South Island is depicted as a mystical island that moves around, however not only is this never shown or stated again but also later games have people living on the Island, it’s also stated that the Chaos Emeralds hold South Island afloat and if one gets stolen then the whole Island will sink however that’s most likely no longer canon

Amy was originally 8 like Tails

West Side Island is stated to have Gods who sealed away the Chaos Emeralds, this most likely no longer canon

Knuckles was stated to be the guardian of both Master Emerald and the Chaos Emeralds, however the Chaos Emerald retcon only him the guardian of the Master Emerald

Knuckles is stated to have friends on Angel Island who nickname his “Knuckle”, we have even see houses in Sonic Adventure’s Ice Cap, however it has since been retconned that Knuckles is the only person on Angel Island aside from Chao and Baby Animals

According to Christian Whitehead, the Super Emeralds and Hyper Sonic are canon but Sonic Team doesn’t want them to appear again due to not wanting "multi-tier power level stuff" like Dragon Ball in Sonic, according to Takashi Iizuka, the Super Emeralds got sealed away into another dimension but it’s never explained how, why or where

Sonic Spinball:

Despite the game being based off Sonic Satam with the game taking place on Mobius and the Freedom Fighters and Scratch appearing as cameos, it has been confirmed canon by Ian Flynn, Sonic Origins and the Sonic Channel, Ian has also clarified the cameos are non canon

It's never explained how and why Eggman traveled to Mobius, same goes for Sonic and Tails

Sonic and Tails also ride on a unnamed plane, that same plane appears in Sonic Learns to Drive from the 30th Anniversary Special

The game has 16 Chaos Emerald and they're all blue (though you could argue they're Mobius's Chaos Emeralds and not Earth's)

Sonic Drift Series:

Amy has a sentient car named Breeze, he is never mentioned again, gets replaced in Sonic R, however he returns in Amy's New Hobby as a cameo

Knuckles Chaotix:

Despite being retconned as non canon, with Heroes being their canon depictions, which is why Charmy doesn’t recognize Eggman, however it has been re-retconned as canon thanks to TailsTube

Espio is never mentioned to be a Ninja and his character is a private detective who’s envious of Knuckles for unknown reasons

Vector is a teen and is depicted as a Christian

Charmy’s age is never stated, his personality is stated to be mature and moody and his character is an athlete who is the self proclaimed dearest insect in the world

Heavy and Bomb’s true allegiance is never confirmed and they’re never seen again

Metal Sonic Kai was originally the name of Metal’s rebuilt body, but was retconned to be the name of his unnamed giant red form

Sonic the Fighters (and Dynamite Dux):

The game has 8 Chaos Emeralds, however the 8th one was retconned to be the Warp Topaz in the Fang the Hunter Miniseries

Eggman builds the Death Egg II, but goes back to rebuilding the original in later games

Bean and Bark were introduced as more of Sonic's friends, however they become villains later

Bean is stated to be the son of Bin the Duck from Dynamite Dux, despite being a Woodpecker, it's unknown if this is still canon however both Bin and Pin cameo in Classic IDW Specials

In the intro, Rocket Metal, aka Mecha Sonic 29 appears, unknown if he’s canon

Honey the Cat's canon existence is iffy, however that's only because the character is owned by SEGA AM2 and not Sonic Team

Sonic Adventure:

In Final Egg, Mecha Sonic Mark III is stored in a stasis tube alongside Metal Sonic, no info is given to him at all, he later cameos in IDW Winter Jam

In the US Script, the pink and white flickies are stated to be the parents of Birdie, in JP, they’re stated to be his siblings

In Sonic 3&K, it’s stated the Gods of Angel Island made the island float in the sky, not only are they not mentioned but it’s stated the Knuckles Clan used the Master Emerald to make it float in the sky

Sonic Shuffle:

This game is ignored, and to my knowledge has zero references in Sonic Dream Team

Sonic Battle:

In the US Script, Emerl is stated to a type of robot called a Gizoid that was created by the Fourth Great Civilization, in the JP Script, the Fourth Great Civilization is never mentioned and Gizoid is just Emerl’s original name

The Characters use a bunch of abilities that are never used again, the weirdest one is Amy being able to create clones of Sonic

Amy was stated to live in an apartment in Station Square, but now she lives in Central City

Shadow can use Chaos Control without a Chaos Emerald and is stated to be able to using his memory of Maria, unknown if this is still canon

Chaos Gamma is never seen again

This game has Shadow with his full memories, Shadow 05 ignored this, it's safe to say this game and by extension Advance 3, were retconned to take place after Shadow 05

Sonic Advance 3:

The US manual states Eggman split the Earth in 7 parts, while the JP manual states Eggman split the Earth in 7 pockets of reality, the JP one is most likely canon or else Dark Gaia would've been unleashed

Gemerl becomes weirdly absent and never mentioned until IDW, (though could make the argument that Rush and Free Riders take place before Advance 3)

Shadow 05:

The canon route is never confirmed other than the fact Shadow did the hero mission in Cryptic Castle and made it to Cosmic Fall

Shadow gains two extra forms, Hero Shadow and Dark Shadow, Dark Shadow reappears in Shadow Gens’s narration intro but Hero Shadow never appears again

In the English Script during the Devil Doom boss fights, Eggman explains to Shadow that he was rescued by one of his robots at the end of SA2, in the JP script, Eggman states it was one of his mechs, presumably the Eggwalker

Sonic’s Home

In Classic Games, Sonic was stated to live on South Island

In Sonic Battle, it was stated he lives in Emerald Town

We see his home in Sonic Harmony Artwork, Sonic Shuffle and the beginning of Sonic and the Secret Rings

However it’s been retconned that Sonic doesn’t have a house

Sonic 06:

Due to the Game being rushed, it’s never explained why Blaze was sent to Silver’s Future other than the fact the game was meant to be a prequel to Rush, it’s also been confirmed that Iblis is still bound to Blaze’s soul so it’s possible the game was an origin to her pyrokinesis and her gameplay could be non canon

Silver’s ending depicted Blaze dying as Iblis gets sealed inside her, however Ian Flynn claims it’s actually Blaze transforming into Burning Blaze because she had the Sol Emeralds with her the entire time during 06?

Elise apparently had the future version of the Blue Chaos Emerald the whole time and somehow every emerald detector used in the series never picked it up

Shadow is stated to have a 200 IQ, this is never brought up again

Amy can turn invisible, she never does this again

Sonic Rivals:

Eggman Nega is a villain in both series, however in the Rush games he’s Eggman’s Sol Dimensions counterpart and Blaze’s archenemy, but in Rivals he’s Eggman’s descendant who hates Eggman for ruining the Robotnik name and is Silver’s archenemy, the Rivals one being the canon version

The Sonic Rivals series being canon is weird itself as despite it being the canon appearances of Silver and Eggman Nega’s current origins, the series was never released in Japan

Sonic Riders:

People assumed this series wasn’t canon due to everyone’s new outfits, the futuristic cities and Babylon Rogues only appearing in these games, however they’ve been confirmed canon, even with a Sonic PICT artwork confirming Metal City is near the Mystic Ruins

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games:

Despite Crossover games not being canon:

Eggman Nega’s portal technology from Winter Games DS appears in a Sonic Channel Comic

A Sonic Channel Cover Story mentions the that Cream was an assistant for the Olympics

Sonic Colors (+Runners):

The game introduces the infamous Two Worlds retcon because of 90s mofos complaining about humans being in Sonic, which Eggman says he wants to conquer “Sonic’s World” instead of Earth, it was reretconned later

Both the Console and DS version are somehow canon, with the DS version heaving exclusive Wisps that reappear, introduction of the Mother Wisp and Silver and Blaze meeting, despite this, the DS content wasn’t included in Sonic Colors Ultimate

In the English Script, Nega Wisps are stated to be Wisps drained of their power, in the JP script, Nega Wisps are angered Wisps, the JP explanation explains why the Nega Wisps still exist but Rise of Wisps oddly uses the US canon

Sonic Runners gave an explanation as to why the Wisps are on Earth, stating they liked it after the events of Colors, however when Runners got discontinued, it got decanonized

Sonic Lost World 3DS:

Despite the game having the same plot as Console, it’s stated not to be canon despite:

Exclusive Wisps reappearing

Tails’s Lab from that version appearing in TailsTube and Sonic PICT artwork

Sonic Forces + Speed Battle:

The game infamously retcons Classic Sonic to be from another dimension despite being the same one from Generations who was past Sonic, this was reretconned later

The game states Eggman created the Phantom Ruby despite Sonic Mania and the tie in comics saying otherwise, even with reretcon, the Phantom Ruby Prototypes are still a mystery

According to Nibroc Rock, Speed Battle is somehow canon with the only explanation being every character in that game is a phantom copy but its not explained when it takes place or how there’s copies of Movie, LEGO and Angry Birds characters

The weird Post Forces Era:

Sonic Mania Adventures was originally non canon but it’s been canonized to take place during the Angel Island section of Encore Mode somehow

Team Sonic Racing, the first IDW saga, TailsTube 2 and the Sonic Channel stories all somehow take place after Forces and even state it was their last battle with Eggman

With TSR, the track Frozen Junkyard was stated to be a scrapyard for Eggman’s machines which is why a Death Egg Robot appears, Amy and Vector’s vehicles also appear in Post Metal Virus IDW, however this issue seems to have been fixed as the Sonic Channel Cover Stories state the Death Egg Robots were created on Egg Planet Park, making the game take place before Forces

Sticks the Badger:

Her only canon appearance is in the Sonic Channel comics

She’s mentioned by Amy in the English version of Frontiers

TMOSTH:

Evan Stanley claims it’s or canon, Chris Hernandez claims the real answer will be revealed someday

Barry and the Conductor appear in IDW

Sonic Speed Simulator:

Ian Flynn states he was told it was non canon but Nibroc Rock states he was told it was canon which is why dead characters couldn’t be playable, the current answer seems to be that game is temporarily non canon until they find a way to canonize it
