Does anyone think the 'furry' category is wrong? While some furries may enjoy the Sonic game because he is an animal, the series is in no way connected to the furry community. --Ciz 20:49, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

No, I think it's just fine, actually. I wouldn't doubt a good portion of the furry community got interested in said community in the first place because of the blue fella, though obviously not all.
Besides, nobody said it had to be the furry community that the category was for. --Shadow Hog 22:22, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Thats what the link leads to. --Ciz 22:35, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
"Furry is a colloquial term used to indicate a particular category of fictional anthropomorphic animal."
Doesn't sound like the fandom alone to me. --Shadow Hog 01:39, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I'd just like to elaborate on something here: just because Sonic's page has a link to Category:Furry does NOT mean he's involved in animal sex. Seriously, the furry fandom is a lot more than just a sexual fantasy. While I apologize for the "bigoted" comment (in retrospect, it's a little too strong a word for this instance), it's kind of insulting to know that people still see, to think that. --Shadow Hog 15:17, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I don't know if I'm being stupid here, but why does this page seem to have all the games Sonic has cameoed in, but not the games he had to himself? :) --MrJeff

Just to elaborate, it'd appear it was because of IP add 68.45.72.176, who thought it was a BRILLIANT idea to remove all the games and replace it with "SONIC IS GREAT". Obviously this is fixed now. Shadow Hog 14:51, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I don't know if there were any Sonic games for the Sega Master System? Could someone enlighten me on that? --Jzcool

Does anyone think the Sonic hedgehog gene should be on it's own article called Sonic hedgehog? --The T

If anyone here knows or can find out enough about the gene to make a start on an article about it, then that would be nice! But I still think the sentence about it in this article should stay, as it's an interesting note about the character's influence on the scientific community. :) Incidentally, does anyone know what the correct capitalisation is for the name of the gene? A Google search reveals it being referred to as "sonic hedgehog", "Sonic hedgehog", and "Sonic Hedgehog"... -- Oliver PEREIRA 13:16 Dec 6, 2002 (UTC)

Guys, stop trying to make "Doctor Ivo Robotnik" the primary name in this article. It isn't anymore. In the earlier Sonic games, "Doctor Ivo Robotnik" was used in the North American and European releases for localization purposes.

However, starting with Sonic Adventure, the "Doctor Eggman" name became his primary name worldwide. DO NOT change it back. And do NOT move the Eggman article itself. You CAN make a separate article relating to the stuff "Robotnik" showed up in whule he was called by that name - WhisperToMe


I have to say that I can understand people wanting to change Eggman. I've always known him as Robotnik, and 'Eggman' is such an uninspired name.

But anyway. Er... there's another game Sonic made a cameo in - I don't know what it was called, but someone must remember it. It was a driving game, and there was a little Sonic toy hanging on a chain from the top of the windscreen that would bounce and spin about as the car moved.

I Believe that game was called Rad Mobile or Gale Racer, depending on what you choose.
