Hey now, THAT has never manifested itself anywhere. Robotnik is never
described as an "explorer," and you will never see any "evolved" animals
besides Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, at least in the games you mention.
Everything else is just a cute little big-headed fuzzy. And just because you
never see any other humans doesn't mean there aren't any around. (Not that
there are other humans around. Sonic's world is far too mysterious for
anyone to safely say anything about that particular subject with any
credibility at all.)

Well said!!! You almost sound like a different Louis! Well, it kinda falls
apart there at the end but the message is clear..

And to whoever said that bit about "Hating it when a story was developed," or
something, when the story is developed after the game, when the story has
nothing to DO with the game, then why not hate it? The Sonic comic and TV
series have absolutely nothing to do with Sonic whatsoever, save the hedgehog
himself. (Yeah, and a couple others, but I'm trying to be dramatic here!)
The reason the feel of the Sonic games and the mood are so mysterious and
enchanting is because no more story is given then neccessary. And when
people (like archie) go in filling in all the gaps for us, it cheapens the
original work. Even in the Sonic Anime, sure, they introduce new characters,
and give a little bit of background on why everything's floating, (just the
mechanism, mind you) we get virtually NO background, and we are left with one
hell of a ride through a magnificently non-descript world. Kinda like Panzer
Dragoon, ya know? (The game, not the anime. That one sucked ^_-)

Oh yeah. P.Sally might be able to kick swatbots in the head and all that,
but you KNOW the only reason for it (Or at least a big reason for it) is so
that we can have some "strong female characters." We wouldn't want to offend
anybody by having the male charaters save the day all the time and the
females sit around and wait to be rescured. Heavens no, that would be
sexist! (That WAS sarcasm, BTW...) And there's certainly nothing wrong with
that, but I appreciate the fact that Amy is purposely weak, as her creators
are willing to ignore any social foolishness that might come up because they
created a character who is true to their original plan. I'm not saying Sally
was made specificlly to pacify raging feminists, but the idea behind her is
extremely cliche.

It's interesting, have you ever noticed that besides Amy Rose, there are NO
female characters in any of the Sonic games? In fact, outside the racing
titles, she's not even playable, and is just there to be rescued. And ONLY in
Sonic CD!! This tells me that Sonic (as a series, not a character) does not
need much female support, and certainly no "strong leading female characters."
In fact, one of the major draws to Sonic is that dispite its lack of female
characters, it's never been labeled as sexist and attracts a lot of female
gamers. Even Knuckles' Chaotix, which has five different characters, still no
females. Maybe this has more to do with the way things are in Japan, but it
shows that you don't need characters like Princess Sally to be successful.

The original vision is good enough, and doesn't need archie meddling around
in the background. Of course, you can't make a comic without making up a
whole lot of new stuff. It just never works. The old Mario series didn't,
but it was pretty bad anyway.. I even made a little fan Sonic comic
(Availible at http://www.ellensbug.com/~katharin/gallery/index.html if you
want to go see it) and I couldn't do it without adding a new character. The
anime added new characters, all the old Nintendo Power comics added new
characters, even my favorite game-based comics ever, Nintendo Power's Mario
series. They kept very true to the games, but still ended up with a new
character, Friendly Floyd. I mean, HOW could that story have existed without
Friendly Floyd??? It's unfortunate that it is so difficult to expand on
something without taking too many "artistic liberties" and then losing part
of the audience who liked the original so much, ie. ME. I'm a huge Sonic
fan, I've loved the games since day one, but the comic/cartoon series leave
me looking for a bucket to hurl in.

In the U.S. the age of consent is 18, so here it would be legal. In the
U.K., I here the age is 16, so it wouldn't. But what makes you think Mobius
follows either of those laws?

BTW: I hate Amy Rose.

Err...

1. Mobius, under Robotnik at least, does not have much in the ways of
real laws any more, unless you count Robotnik's orders.

2. Mobius, being an alien planet, might not have ever had laws against
this. The only reference to legal age I've heard of in Fleetway,
Archie, SatAM, or even Anime Sonic is that, in SatAM, Sally could not
take the crown until she was 17 years old (plus or minus 1 year,
depending on how you interpret Nicole's speech shortly before telling
Sally about the Deep Power Stones). (Has anyone else heard of any other
references to this topic in any of those?)

This is all VERY silly. This is a comic with a very young audience, and the
only reason rules like that exist is to keep people from having sex. And no
one is going to be having sex in this comic. Certainly not Amy and Sonic,
because Amy's too young to even kwno about such things, or be interested in
them, and Sonic finds her irritating and would run away. Sally will never
get any because SoA watchdogs keep that sort of thing from happening, and
look, ARCHIE is probably still a virgin too, and he's been tryin' since the
40s.

Why is everyone bashing Sally lately? First on Zifei's Mobius Forum,
and now here. And also, making up jokes about Penny killing her, just
because I was expressing my opinion saying Sally is better? What does

A word or two in praise of the SATam: I would not be a Sonic fan today--
would not have got the games, would not have taken nearly two weeks writing a
fanfic that never reached anyone's but my own eyes, would not be making an
effort to learn to draw the characters, and would not be posting to this
newsgroup right now-- were it not for the SATam.

I think Princess Sally is the best "non- SegaSonic" charactor. She makes the
comics and the cartoons more interesting, she even had a brief cameo in Sonic
Spinball. I like to see Sonic and Sally kissing in the comics and the cartoons.
Don't insult Princess Sally!

Sally's my favoirite character and I probalby wouldn't bother with most of the
issues of the comic if she weren't in it.

Umm.. who ever said Sally was blond? (Those stupid early Archie comics
don't count, damnit!) And Sally is *not* a New Yorker version of
Princess Toadstool. Try sending a bot after Toadstool. She'd scream and
run, hitching her skirts of her frilly dress up. Sally'd kick the thing
over. My point made? ^_^

I don't necessarily agree. Sally may be a damsel in distress sometimes,
but at least she's alot smarter than Amy Rose. Plus she can fight.

I've played Sonic CD, where you have to rescue Amy Rose from Mecha Sonic
(or something along those lines), and she is got to be one of the worst
damsels in distress. Plus she's basically a pink Sonic wearing a dress.

I too think that Amy is more the 'tag along with childish adoration and
need hero to be saved' type (see the "Sonic CD" game, for example).

It's true that characters like Amy Rose can also have a well-developed
personality, but keep in mind that you can only use the 'damsel in
distress' story that often, while a _strong_ character like Sally can
participate in _all_ plots. :) Amy would make a cute add-on character
that pops up occasionally, but for permanent use as a counterpart for
Sonic, Sally is definitely the better choice.

You were right about what would happen if a SWATbot came after Toadstool!
They same thing always happens to her when a Koopa chases her! I'll bet
Sally would win in a fight with King Koopa! She would kick and punch the
scales off of that turtle! :) And no, I agree that she's not a New

Sally is not my favorite character, but I like all of the SATam characters as
well as the SegaSonic ones.

And I hardly think the SATam characters cheapen the original work, as they
have made the SegaSonic experience that much better for me, personally.

Which turns out to be real mundame after awhile because she never
get's into any serious, life-threatning trouble or is put into any situation
where you don't know if she'll live or die.

Amy was in a video game (Sonic Drift 2) for the game gear. She was one of the
drivers. Wouldn't you know it but her special "technique" was to throw hearts
at the boys and daze them for awhile. The scary thing is that if you threw one
on the track it did the same effect to Amy.

Hey, did Amy ever come forward and say anything in the comic? She's always been
a background character whenever I saw her.

She was also in Sonic R, and I hate her in that game. She's slow, and I'd much
rather stick to Mecha-knux or Super Sonic.

You know, this is all fairly silly. I personally prefer Sally over Amy, but
they are both fairly bland.

Sally: She was created for two reasons: One, a strong female lead in the
Comics/SatAM. Two: As a girlfriend for Sonic. Her storyline is bland at best,
and she seems to take the "Damsel in distress" role a few times.

Amy Rose: Her nintendo counterpart would be Princess Toadstool. She was only a
"damsel in distress" and playible in a handful of games. Her storyline is not
nearly as developed as Sally's, in fact she doesn't even have a storyline.

I have tryed to make this as reasonible and tryed not to play favorites.
Thankyou.

Amy's been a minor character is a few issues of the Archie comic, but she and
Dulcy will be teaming up in the back up stories in upcoming issues after the
Geofry (yuk!) back-ups are finished.

I've never seen a Koopa chase her. Please describe it to me.

Agg, Bowser! BOW-SER!! King of the koopas, BOWSER. Geez, you'd think you
were raised on that ghastly SMB "Super Show" or worse, "Club Mario." Or even
Mario World. "Koopa" is the name of the turtle tribe that bowser rules, it's
not the name of anybody. (Unless you wanna call him "Bowser Koopa," like a
last name. All the koopalings go like "Iggy Koopa, Morton Koopa, etc." Call
him Koopa and you could be talking about any one of them. How'd Bowser make
all these koopalings anyway? <shiver>)

And although the Mulan reference is very funny, he DOES have a shell. ^_^

That kind of Nappo-ism wouldn't do very good in the SatAM series, since
the story is built on hope.

No, she's like one of those Baywatch babes. They act like they don't
know they're drop-dead attractive, lead a perfect life and have equally
perfect boyfriends.

Not gonna happen - hopefully SOJ will integrate them somehow (Sonic
and Amy) and we'll actually get a realistic plot going on that follows the
game story instead of this "Freedom Fighter" crap.

That's the writer's fault - like I said before. They have made sally into the
"perfect babe" and there is nothing original or special about her. Amy is
such a more "honest" character that she seems real.

It's better than most IMO.

Please don't even enter that area for conversation. You'll end up
giving someone the idea to create a pornographic version of 'Sonic The
Hedgehog'. There's bound to be someone sick enough to do it.

I don't think it would be that bad a thing if they got together


anyway. Apart from it being ellegal, it would show Sally that she's
not perfect and that Sonic's just not interested. It would give her a

taste of reah life and how it sucks sometimes! It's sickening

one of those apple thingies that caused him to age five years. Atleast
I think it was in the comic. That way Sonic would have no complaints
about her being too young! Besides, they'd make the cutest couple :)

Believe me. The yiffy Sonic thing has been done. As for Sally, I think
without her, Sonic would not live very long. She's his brain.

Only in the SatAM series, and obviously since the other Freedom Fighters
have to prove their mettle or else they'd be useless.

In the SegaSonic one (Which I represent like M.A.S.E at a currency
convension) he's the "Silent Warrior" type, who relies little on luck or
help to win. Even tails.

The closest thing to a dragon in Mario's world is Yoshi.

If you play Japanese Mario World to the end, you see all the characters
with their Japanese names. Surprisingly, all the Koopa Kids' (Ko-koopa)
names are the same in Japan as in America. But Bowser is labeled
"KOOPA". The little turtles are called "Nokonoko", Goombas are called
"Kuribo" and Lakitu is called Jugem. (Now you know where Kuribo's Shoe
and Jugem's Cloud come from![1]) So calling Bowser "King Koopa" is
technically correct, and yes, in America "Koopa" is generally accepted
as a surname... much like Mario and Luigi's surname is "Mario".

Oh, and the SMB Super Show ruled! Especially the host segments with the
live-action Mario and Luigi. The animation was bad though.

> And although the Mulan reference is very funny, he DOES have a shell. ^_^

Yes! He's a big turtle! Whoever said he was a dragon better get a clue.

[1]For the record, the fuzzy brown suit Mario wears in SMB3, the "Tanuki
Suit", comes from the Tanuki, a character in Japanese mythology. He's a
mischievous critter who can change shape to look like a kind person and
deceive people. And Koopa (Japanese 'kuppa') I'm sure comes from Kappa,
a turtle-like water demon from Japanese legend.

This statement is right actually. Considering Archie is a childrens'
based company, they certainly aren't going to show any underage
activity. But whether age matters on Mobius or not, Amy's childish
personality would be enough to make Sonic back off.

Too late; people already have. And would you believe that some of the
'pornographic' Sonic stories are better written than some of the normal
ones? I'll steer clear away from that subject however.

Maybe Sally is the 'ideal' girlfriend for Sonic in your opinion, but who
ever said things were easy for them? Sally's a princess and Sonic's
merely a Mobian subject; this creates a lot of conflict in itself, as
you may have noticed from the reaction of King Acorn. The King,
[Raymond?] Acorn, is the one who thinks he can get what he wants by
being in charge. I get the feeling that Sally might like to be a normal
Mobian just like her friends, instead of being the Princess of Mobius.

He [Sonic] doesn't seem to like her anyway. Her 'oh, save me; you're my
hero!' attitude seems to turn most people off, including Sonic himself.
Speaking of Tails, it seems that he and Amy are a much better match than
trying to pair up Sonic and Amy.

> much!

If that's true, I've sure never noticed it. She cares more about her
friends than herself most times. She's also put her own goals aside in
order to concentrate on saving her people.

Sally isn't a 'wonderwoman wannabe'. She hurts just like everyone else,
and she isn't perfect. She sees to know that too; on more than one
occasion she's doubted herself and it took Sonic and others to cheer her
back up and reassure her.

Sonic is only a silent warrior because he can't talk in the SEGA games.

He probably salvages parts from Robotropolis - or from pieces of the SwatBots'
circuts and myromars Sonic leaves in his wake after they - like alyways - fail
to apprehend/kill him.

"Duh!" Sorry, had ta say it. =P

Anyway I agree with tECHIDNA on this one. I admit it, I'm a pro-Sally fan.
That isn't to say I don't like Amy Rose too. They both are good characters if
given a chance. Sally has already been in pretty much all the comic issues and
SATam cartoons and therefore her character has been developed very well, but
Amy Rose hasn't been in any cartoons and she has only been in very few comics
(she wasn't even in the anime!), so the only personality that's been developed
for her is her video game persona of a 'damsel in distress' and a kid who tags
along, chasing after Sonic. I'm sure if she were in more issues so her
character could grow and mature like all the others, THEN we could probably
argue who's better.
I personally don't want to argue about it in the first place. I like both of
them (even if I'll always like Sally more ;P) and they both have good qualities
about them. So I ask all of you; knock off the Sally bashing already, ok?
Reserve the bashings for Geoffery St. John A.K.A. St. Jerk. ;P

How can he walk like WHAT? What does he walk like? Maybe I should watch my old

Rotor wasn't born in the forest. He just came there when he joined the Freedom

No, Amy's just stupid. That's all. And if Sally is self centered, it must
have happened after issue 39.

I think they cannot really be compared, as they're two entirely
seperate characters that don't really try to clash. Sally is great for
the Archie and SatAm continuities, but she'd be terrible in a game.
Similarly, Amy Rose works in the game as what she's supposed to be. If
she was given more of a personality, I imagine we'd all start to think
she was brilliant, but she hasn't got one just yet. In the Fleetway
comics, either Sally or Amy would work in Amy's position, but Amy seems
more right somehow. Amy Rose and everything about her fits in the
Segasonic continuity. She's bright, she's colourful, she doesn't talk
much. With the Archie comics, Sally works better. With the Fleetway
comics, a rather revised Amy works. It all depends on what you do with
the characters. No one character is really better than another, it's all
about where they fit in context.

There's a point, although it was made in a rather annoying way.
They're very cliche. The hero and the princess. In every horrible teen
thing produced its' the prom queen and the captain wrestler /
footballer. And in every kids thing it's the hero and the princess. It's
been done, too often to stomach.

From Nigel Kitching - where did you get 16 from? Anyway it's

Tails is mid-teens in Fleetway, if I remember correctly.

Special? When was that? If it's the one I'm thinking of then in
all likelyhood it was true then. Anyway, whatever the plot has been in
the past, Nigel tells me he now believes Sonic to be in his twenties,
although his actual age hasn't been defined.

Actually, no matter what anyone does it's always unorginial. Everything's been
done before, after all there are only 34 different types of stories. The two
basic plots of the comics and the games are the same. Good Vs. Evil. Now
there's a concept far more over done then annoying little kids and princesses
put together.

Lesse.. he doesn't like Antoine (Ant) and he hates King Acorn (KAc) with
a passion. He doesn't like AoStH (AdS), but he likes the Archie (Arc)
comics and the SatAM (WkS) show. At least I think so... who knows..

You're an idiot. That would never work. Are you joking (it sounds like
something you'd do, that's the only reason I'm taking it seriously). Robor and
Robotnik have been in the same place at the same time. Rotor has helped the FF's
on several occasions, and he knows where knothole is. If Rotor was Robotnik,
then Robotnik would know where knothole was, and crush the FFs. There are even
more reasons as to why it's impossible. It's just plain stupid.

You're right: it IS Catsup! Except when it comes in a bottle marked
