#31dayssonic Day 15: Madness: By Hero Central: 6/6/2022:
“My grasp on sanity remains absolute.”
Originally I was going to do Metal Madness from Sonic Heroes but after seeing a deleted scene from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 I took it in a different direction. With a little Arcane League of Legends inspiration.

Probably nobody thought about it but when I saw Nightmare Eggman in the trailer (even when we only saw the arms) I felt it was very me-core and it made me happy  Social media  + Commissions  + PAPERCUT

An introductory guide to getting into Sonic the Hedgehog...
…if you're a grown-ass adult who is busy and doesn't want to play a bunch of video games but thinks the characters look sorta cool.
If you've ever been curious about Sonic as a series but haven't known where to start, I have some recommendations! I think Sonic is a cool and still somewhat unique thing because it takes cartoony characters (like a Mickey Mouse or Felix the Cat) and lets them jump around in cool action sequences through the lens of a shonen anime. It's colorful and usually pretty light-hearted, and I think the character designs are pretty iconic.
There's two handy places you can start without prior context, to see if it's something you'd be into...
Tumblr media
Getting Started: If You Wanna Read Something
The IDW Sonic Comics
There were years of different Sonic comics back in the '90s and early 2000's, but the franchise got a complete reboot and fresh start with IDW Publishing in 2018. If you're looking for the most straight-forward way to get into this world of characters, I think this is a great start. You don't need any prior knowledge whatsoever to crack open issue 1 and get started. All you need to know is "Sonic and his friends protect the world by fighting against an evil scientist named Dr. Eggman, who they just recently defeated after he briefly took over the world."
I love these comics and I feel that the writers and artists who work on it have a really good sense for this series. Reading issues 1 through 12 will get you the first major story arc. If you like it so far, I highly suggest reading up through issue 32, when another major story arc concludes. After that, the world's your oyster! Unlike the tangled web of Marvel or DC comics, IDW Sonic has a very simple and linear reading order. You pretty much just read the issues in order, and occasionally there are spinoff stories that are optional to read.
Tumblr media
Getting Started: If You Wanna Watch Something
Sonic Mania Adventures
Maybe comics aren't your thing and you want something even quicker. These are a series of animated shorts that are lovely. Conveniently, they've been compiled together by Sega into one little video right here.
It's a great intro to some of the main characters, and combines cartoon slapstick with some amazing action sequences.
There's also a nice little epilogue short.
Sonic CD's intro cutscene
If I had to pick a single 1-and-a-half minute clip to embody what I like about this series, it would be this very simple intro movie that plays before Sonic CD. Check it out!
Sonic Origins/Sonic Origins Plus Cutscenes
In 2022, Sega released a compilation of the classic Genesis games on modern consoles. In it, they added a few animated cutscenes. You can watch those cutscenes, plus the Sonic CD intro and the Sonic Mania Adventures episodes, all compiled into one handy Youtube video.
Taking The Next Step: If You Wanna Read Something
The Archie Sonic Comics
You might have heard that Sonic had a comic series published by Archie Comics from 1992 to 2016. This was a vast, overarching series that wrote an original story by weaving together ideas from the different Sonic cartoons and games. It went through several different writers, many different artists, and obviously spanned over multiple eras of pop culture.
It's pretty cool! The fact that it was so long-running, and the fact that Sega wasn't very strict with what the writers could do, led to a lot of buckwild lore, new characters, and plot developments. That said, it's also pretty bizarre, complicated, corny, and cringey at times. There is a stretch in the middle that is pretty infamous among fans.
You have a few options for jumping in.
Option A: You can start at the very beginning and read all of it. If you do this, it is going to be like a One Piece / Homestuck / etc. kind of undertaking, and you're going to be pushing through the good and the bad of huge genre and tone shifts. That's your call!
Option B: You can brush up on the main characters on a wiki and then start at Issue 160, when Ian Flynn (who now does a lot of work on IDW Sonic) became the lead writer. More specifically, you can jump in at the start of a new story arc by starting at Issue 175.
Option C: You can start at Issue 252, when there is a universe-altering event that essentially retcons all of the characters and plot threads from the previous writers and starts completely fresh. Easier to keep track of and you won't have to worry about all the previous plot and lore.
If you want something you can read in a single sitting, you should instead read Sonic: Mega Drive, a short-lived miniseries published by Archie that follows "Classic Sonic" characters (aka, the same vibe and art style of Sonic Origins, Sonic Mania Adventures, etc.) It's really great!
Taking The Next Step: If You Wanna Watch Something
Sonic the Hedgehog (OVA) aka "Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie" (1996)
This is, essentially, a 1-hour Sonic anime movie. You can watch it in Japanese or in English. I adore it. It makes up its own lore and continuity so you don't need to know anything before going in, besides generally knowing a one-sentence synopsis of who Sonic, Tails, and Dr. Robotnik are. It's action-packed, well-animated, and has great music. Enjoy! Sonic X If you're enjoying what you've seen so far, and you want something much, much longer...there's an official 78-episode anime adaptation of Sonic called Sonic X. It's an original story that loosely pulls together some ideas from a few of the games. It's mostly intended for a younger audience, but I hear if you watch it in the original uncut Japanese, it feels a little less "for kids."
Other Ways To Get Into Sonic
There's some great video essays on Youtube about the series!
Professional animator Dan Floyd did an in-depth video looking at the highs and lows of Sonic character animation in the games starting from Sonic 1 up through Sonic Forces.
Super Bunnyhop plays through the first level of a bunch of Sonic games to compare how the mechanics, physics, and level design feel throughout the games' history.
Liam Triforce has a great deep dive on the franchise's music.
You can play The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, a murder-mystery-party themed visual novel put out by Sega. It's nice and short, so you can finish it in an afternoon.
If you haven't seen them already, you can check out the live-action/animated hybrid films Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 featuring Ben Schwartz and Jim Carrey, they're pretty good. That Sonic Prime cartoon that's currently on Netflix is pretty good too.
This may sound strange, but honestly you might enjoy poring over the sprite sheets from the old games. In particular, I really like the sprite animations from the GBA games, like Sonic Advance and Sonic Battle.
Sega is pretty lax about allowing noncommercial fan games, so there's at least a hundred different Sonic fan games out there by hobbyist developers. Check out the Sonic Amateur Games Expo and the Sonic Fan Games HQ.
You can watch LPs or cutscene compilations of the games on Youtube! If you watch Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic Heroes, you'll get a crash course on most of the characters.
And finally, of course...you can play the games if you want to! There's a number of them that are available on Steam, Switch, Xbox, and Playstation if you don't have access to older consoles.
There's a lot of different angles to come at Sonic as a franchise, and lots of different entry points. Have fun!

DESIGN, IVO ROBOTNIK - AoStH VS SatAM VS Archie Comics.
This is about the US-made designs for Doctor Eggman/Ivo Robotnik in US-made Sonic properties. Technically these are all derived from the initial redesign for Eggman from SEGA of America, which was just a more evil looking take on his actual classic design in order to invoke American Kirby Is Hardcore. The black eyes, flaming orange mustache, and scowling face are features that stuck. Also yes, the Sonic Underground design is a recolor of the SatAM one with a red cape and two robotic arms instead of one, but that’s literally the worst US-made Robotnik/Eggman ever so I’m not interested in that.
I’ll be honest; unlike some other Eggman fans, I actually really like the hardcore extreeeeeme 90′s supervillain design for Robotnik that SatAM, Archie Comics, and Underground gave him. It’s got a certain charm to it where it’s just menacing enough but also just over-the-top and caricaturized in that 90′s cartoon villain sort of way to be silly, which captures the balance that Robotnik’s character should be all about. But there are a few things that, upon examination, do sort of bug me. Not the eyes, strangely enough - Eggman typically has glass eyes, so who knows what’s behind them? But for one thing...that mustache is way too thin. One of Robotnik’s signatures is his impressively large, bushy, Teddy Roosevelt mustache, yet this stache is more brush-like. The other thing is those ridiculous pointed shoulder pads, a design choice that might work for, say, Jafar, but for Dr. Robotnik you really don’t need those, and they’re only there to emphasize that this man is EEEVUL! Additionally, Archie!Robotnik’s design has a costume that’s fully red rather than have the lower part of it be black, and due to different artists drawing him, his mustache and shoulder pads sometimes end up looking more straight/pointed.
The design from AoStH, meanwhile, is free of those problems - his mustache is far more accurate and he has no shoulder pads, in addition to having no robotic arm, no yellow cape (except in the end credits of the show), and a more cartoony look in general - yet the design has two new problems of its own! Problem 1: the head shape. Robotnik’s head should be egg-shaped. This is one of the easiest things to get down. Yet this Robotnik...has a cone-shaped head. Just....look at this guy. This is also linked to his eyes being comically big, too. But Problem 2 is not that, it’s that goofy pink hot dog nose. The pink nose is more accurate to classic Eggman, but the shape of it is distractingly ridiculous. This design could’ve done without it.
Bonus Trivia: The cone-headed AoStH design also appears in Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, on the Game Gear cover of Sonic Spinball, in illustrated childrens books based on the Archie Comics continuity, in various other official products (mostly in childrens books), the McDonalds Sonic 3 Happy Meal figure, and the British Fleetway comic series. And on that last one, that version of Robotnik was written to be as one-note, one-dimensionally, stupidly EEEVUL as possible despite having that silly Robotnik design, contrast with Archie Comics where Robotnik was written more characteristically comedic, bumbling, whimsically eccentric and zany....despite having the “serious Robotnik” design! It’s like they got flipped backwards!
Anyway, here’s my revision for 90′s American Robotnik’s design:
