--- layout: layouts/base.njk eleventyNavigation: parent: Chronology key: Classic Era order: 1 --- # The Classic Era Some infos and canevats : - I decided to prioritise Sonic Mania Adventure over the Encore Mode of Sonic Mania - I consider the Modern/Classic style as something more stylistic than in-canon, and to keep a clean Metal Sonic arc, I put Sonic 4 in the Classic Era. ## First Adventures - Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) - The first game. - Sonic the Hedgehog CD (1993) - Sonic save Amy and Little Planet - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992) - The Start of the First Death Egg Saga - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (1994) - The End of the First Death Egg Saga - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 GG (1992) - Eggman kidnappe Tails. According to the manuals Sonic and Tails know each other, so it have to happens post-S2 (thus post-S3 too). ## The return of Metal Sonic - Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (2010) – Metal Sonic is back : needed for every story with Metal Sonic after that. - Sonic Chaos (1993) - Sonic Triple Trouble (1994) - Metal Sonic is here. - Sonic Spinball (1993) - Happenned in some sort, can be seen as "canon" as the Veg-O-Fortress is referenced in Sonic Origins - Sonic Labyrinth (1995) - Eggman try to make Sonic slower - Tails' Skypatrol (1995) - Tails fight a witch. - Tails Adventure (1995) - Tails fight birds (I use the US interpretation of the game, as it makes a more compeling story arc imo) - Knuckles' Chaotix (1995) - Knuckles fight Metal Sonic too. - Sonic Blast (1996) - Sonic 3D Blast (1996) - Sonic & Co. travels to Fliky Island - Sonic the Fighters (1996) - Sonic R (1997) ## New classic adventures I've put the newest classic stories here, as it seems that the characters known each other in the comics. - Sonic Generation (2011) - As Sonic seems to come from the first games, it makes the next placement more logical. - Sonic Mania (2017) - Metal Sonic seems to come back here, so it's before Chaotix and Triple Trouble. - Sonic Forces (2017) - Classic storyline - Sonic Mania Adventure (2017) - Back to is time, Classic Sonic fight Eggman that made some shenanigans. - Seasons of Chaos (IDW, 2021) - Dr. Eggman's Birthday (IDW, 2021) - Sonic Learns to Drive (IDW, 2021) - Amy's New Hobby (IDW, 2021) - Flying Off the Rails (IDW, 2022)
