Another interesting anecdote from Ryan Bloom about if Sonic would've been as successful if stuff like Madonna were included from the beginning:
Sonic 2006 was announced as a soft reboot for the Sonic franchise. The official quote that has crystalized in my brain was “we’re treating it as if it was the first Sonic game on the Sega Genesis.” In the original, scrapped pitch for Sonic 1 in 1990, he had a human girlfriend, Madonna. She was scrapped because Sega of America wanted Sonic to have a different kind of appeal. Obviously, Madonna lived on through Princess Elise. Not in exact content (or context), but in spirit. And people still were not ready for an adult human woman having any kind of romantic involvement with a three foot tall rodent. The original joke for Madonna was probably supposed to be a riff on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which came out only a couple of years before the production for Sonic began. Madonna was probably supposed to be Sonic’s Jessica Rabbit.

But Jessica and Roger’s relationship is a joke. They’re cartoon characters in a human world and it’s a riff on a wider joke trope of a total dork having a beautiful partner. But Sonic wasn’t meant to be a comedy. It did not have very many jokes in it. And Roger’s whole thing is that he’s this clumsy, suspender-wearing doofus, whereas Sega wanted Sonic to be the lead singer in a rock and roll band. It just did not work. If Sega went with their original pitch for Sonic (Madonna, rock band, etc.) they probably would have ended up like, I dunno NEC. Sonic would probably be spoken about in the same breath as guys like Bonk. The first few games might have done well, but longevity would be a much greater struggle.

She never had a thing for Sonic though. And fittingly, the only one who wanted to sleep with her was Robotnik.

Chili dogs are peak “tell me you only know Sonic from memes without telling me you only know Sonic from memes” along with gotta go fast, edgy Shadow, Big the Cat, and anything involving Sonic 06. Or at least they were, until Sega started regularly referencing them in games. I’m glad fans are starting to refer to the 2010s as the “meta era” of Sonic; it gives me hope that this era is over and Sega’s talk about taking Frontiers seriously isn’t a bluff.

Her dad is human, so maybe her mother is Mobian.

The OVA does not take place in Mobius, though it is also a post apocalyptic earth like SATAM Mobius was gonna be revealed as and archie Mobius was revealed as, but it s a lot cooler than the Mobius concept because it's fucking "PLANET FREEDOM" and there's a white house and president and everything implying America was the only country to survive nuclear hellfire or whatever it was that caused them to migrate to sky city islands held aloft by the fucking polar icecaps. The fucking entire metal Robotnik fight segment takes place in a destroyed NYC, the street signs shown in one of the stoplight shots actually match up to an actual street though the signs no longer match due to them updating them fucking forever ago to some other style of sign. I always liked that kinda in your face yet unmentioned "this is post apocalyptic earth" kinda thing they do. Obviously, the games never took place on a post apocalyptic earth ruled and renamed by some weird Neo-America, nah it's just earth with fictional country names and shit in place of real ones. Though sometime during the "meta" era as people call it they started this trend of trying to avoid calling it Earth by saying "Sonic's world" instead of"the world" or "Earth in the dialogue, possibly to satiate the people that are obsessed with him being from "Mobius" to the point they probably frequently send Sega death threats over it.

If you look closely at Sara's design you can see she doesn't have cat ears but a fucking anime beanie hat vaguely styled like cat ears. I think the tail is supposed to be like a monkey ass Saiyan tail kinda human monkey tail mutation thing or some shit, or just more anime bullshit. Considering the fact her dad, the president, looks like a more friendly Wario complete with goblin/elf ears, i'd say either's a valid reasoning.

I'm playing Sonic Unleashed on the Xbox. I actually wanted that game on the PS2 after seeing the last trailer.


Werehog sections can be fun, but suffer the most with slowdowns. Too many enemies on screen, game literally chugs.

It's a fucking amazing and sad that it took until the Xbox Series systems to run that game smoothly.
