    Where Does Sonic Live? The Sonic Multiverse? TailsTube Returns for More Lore

    Sonic YouTube's official lore-dump series continues with yet another entry as Tails and Amy explore the yet more corners of how Sonic's world functions. The video is linked below, but jump farther down for the summary:

    After a brief intro, the duo reminisces about their Sonic adventures, old foes, and Amy's brief origin (per Origins), but quickly get to business. When asked where Sonic lives, both confirm that Sonic... doesn't really have a home. He travels, camps, and mooches off of his young friend, stowing his plane and raiding the fridge.

    Following this, Knuckles and his good friend Knuckles ask about the nature of multiple Sonics and yet further Sonics beyond. Referencing back to Generations, Amy confirms that Classic Sonic (whom she calls "Classic Sonic") is indeed Sonic's younger self from the past. Meanwhile, Tails speculates that, in other universes, there could potentially be any number and variations of Sonics, such as one that wears lots of athletic tape, or one in a rock band. (One must assume there's a Sonic out there that talks like that one character from Parks & Recreation.)

    And, of course, it wouldn't be a TailsTube without a moment of "Is this a quick gag or an actual tease for something?" Throughout the video, Tails' desktop has a "Lego Ideas" folder. Is it teasing the rumored upcoming sets? is it referencing 2022's LEGO Ideas Green Hill Zone set? Is it just a throwaway gag? Is it related to that woman who appeared in the first one that we still know nothing about? Are we waiting for yet another #KnowingSmile? Is this a dense tapestry of deceit and misdirection with the single-minded goal to thoroughly complicate the lives of those documenting the canon of the series? IS THE LEGO DIMENSIONS MULTIVERSE ONE OF THE SHATTER SPACES WITHIN SONIC PRIME!?!

    Probably not, but at least we know that LEGO the brand exists in Sonic's world, and that Cindy Robinson can perfectly replicate a Knuckles voice.

    I expected it to be more questions about Amy but it was mostly on Sonic. I don't say this necessarily as a bad thing, it's lore again as usual, and fun interactions, references, art, which is always great. Plus, the characterization for every character was top.

    Cindy is so great, hope they use her even more, plus this depiction of Amy is basically what Ian has been doing between IDW and Frontiers, but it's also consistent to Prime, it's consistent and that's how I would describe her, she's friendly, caring and mature.

    A bit ridiculous that it had to be clarified, but it's good to have a good official source that maintains Classic Sonic as Sonic's past post-Forces, rather than an alternate dimension.

    Unfortunately the price is Knuckles signing up for social media and falling down the algorithm rabbit hole, becoming radicalized to the idea of the ancient mole people hiding the most powerful power source on the planet somewhere for their foul conspiracies

    Sonic is the world's fastest hobo who mooches off his friends for food, love to see it.

    Also it confirms that the house he was sleeping in during Secret Rings was either Tails or Amy's place.

    I do enjoy the discourse both here and on twitter.

    "So we have a game where Sonic was sucked into a magical copy of One Thousand and One Nights to fight a djinn with the power to rewrite reality. WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHO OWNS THE HOUSE HE WAS IN!"

    ...It was a worthy sacrifice. We shall remember him.

    Tbh I don't think anything new has really come from this.

    It's our most explict official confirmation that the Classic characters are back to being younger versions of the Modern ones and the "other universe" retcon from Forces/Mania has been junked.

    If the different designs are going to be a canonical thing then this is the simplest way of doing it, how Classic physically becomes Modern between games really isn't a huge deal. The split-timeline theory fans created to explain that retcon was nifty but a needlessly complicated solution to a problem that didn't need to exist in the first place.

    Stuff like Boom and the movies were always seperate from the games so the "multiverse" stuff is just a nod to that. We even get a "Not Boom" Sonic with the sports tape and a mention of blue arms when they're talking about it.

    Uncle Chuck or canon Longclaw. Maybe both..?

    So, if the multiverse thing is canon, I got a feeling it might be a part of their plan to unify the brand, and possibly explain some of the inconsistencies that may occur. It's kinda smart, but the execution is left to be seen.

    Imagine if crossovers happen tho

    Someone mentioned Sonic Boom. With that, I must say.

    The Sonic and Knuckles in the main canon universe and the Boom universe seem to be opposites, in the sense that in the Boom universe, Sonic actually had a house while Knuckles was more of a nomad, while in the games, Knuckles has a home and Sonic is the nomad.

    Strange, isn't it?

    Anyone noticed the LEGO Ideas folder in the background?

    I guess this kinda confirms the rumor that more LEGO Sonic sets are coming? Not that it's much of a surprise or that is meant to be taken seriously, but still an interesting detail.

    1st. @Dejimon11remember that Classic Sonic status you made today? Well....

    You get the best of both worlds here.

    They said he only (as in, that instance) appeared in Generations because of Eggman messing with the time stream, not that he only appeared that one time. 

    Ian Flynn confirmed already that Classic Sonic in Generations and Forces are the same past Sonic.
