I don't think so. I'm not even sure if Archie owns anything from the Sonic comics, except maybe the stories themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multikaris Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I’m honestly quite surprised they’re gonna be allowed to use Witchcart and co in that upcoming Tails special, so I suppose there’s still hope for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witchcart is originally from the games. The Freedom Fighters, while loosely based on the small animals, are their own original characters that debuted in the cartoons. So I think they're viewed by Sega as less related to the mainline games continuity than Witchcart is, even though Witchcart is probably more obscure overall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witchcart’s game had no involvement from Sonic Team whatsoever. @Your Vest Friendcan explain better than I can, but still there’s less of a difference between them than it seems. They were also in Spinball, which is referenced in Mania and Origins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Wendy's appearance definitely gives me a little hope that some cogs are turning over at Sega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were also in Spinball, which is referenced in Mania and Origins. Right, they were in Spinball, so I do think they at least have a chance. I'm just saying Witchcart still debuted in a game first - Sonic Team-made or no, it still makes her a "game character" first and foremost. I think their appearance in Spinball would be a good avenue to get them into the games proper, mind you. Sally wouldn't be a lifelong friend of Sonic's (and probably not a princess, either? Don't know if any "Kingdom of Acorn" would exist in the games universe), but she could be "that person I saved from the Veg-O-Fortress that one time," giving them at least some history together, however brief. It would be a good way to differentiate the game versions of these characters with their cartoon/comic counterparts. Also, I know Spinball was referenced in Origins (the Veg-O-Fortress being the Mission Mode island), but I don't remember it in Mania. Could you remind me?

There was a mod that replaced the Trap Tower mini-game with a Spinball themed one, but that's not exactly official, needless to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
