If you read the firs one, you know how it goes, if you didn't I'm not retyping it...

Okay, so by fan request today is Sonic the Hedgehog.
Now, I'm only gonna focus on the original 5 Genesis games (Sonic, 2, 3, &k, CD) because those are the ones with the thinnest plot.

So the stories of these games are all pretty thin and pretty similar: Dr. "Eggman" Robotnik wants to take over Sonic's home (or Angel Island, or the Small planet) to conquer it. Do do this he traps all the cute innocent native animals in his robots and steals the Chaos (Master or Time Emeralds).

Simple, but with enough of what I like to call "writer's cardboard" we can make it complicated and convoluted.

We can do this in many ways.

First way- Science and Industrialization vs. Nature. If you've played Mother 3 this should sound familiar to you.
First, we know that Dr. Robotnik is a mad scientist, robotisizing (it's a word now) all the innocent, pure creatures of nature and corrupting their morals by turning them into and industrial product. A common link is made between the advance of technology and the destruction of weapons so, also by making the animals robots, he makes them more violent.
It is now up to Sonic the Hedgehog an incorruptible animal who can outrun the speed of the advance of technology to save his home and restore it to it's pure state.

Second way- Democrats vs. Republicans.
Let's look at the character designs and traits of both main characters.
Sonic is blue, thin/ small, nonaggressive and a does things for the benifit of the little guy, traits often associated with a democrat.
Eggman is red, bloated, pro-violence (take this as war) and cares more about the advance of business over the ecosystem (statistically). Representative of republican government (Give me a B-U-S, end with an H, what do you get?).
But wait, what does that make the also red Echidna, Knuckles? Becuase we are looking at only the Genesis games, lets call him a republican puppet government used to advance the "American way" onto a poor country.
(Yes, do lean more to the liberals, if you think that this is biased, it is...)


The third (last one I'm doing) and properly most obvious is SEGA vs. Nintendo. Sonic is representative of the blue SEGA logo while Eggman of the red Nintendo logo. Again, Robotnik is bloated and in control of most of the island (market share) while Sonic is the underdog and last chance to beat the Doctor and rescue what he stands for.


Any suggestions for the next one will be considered, though I'm leaning either towards "Atari Classics" or Kirby.
