Again, the true continuity of Sonic is based off who made the character and storylines

*cut and paste old rant based off new info read*

The game universe came second, and Sonic Team...perhaps even the entire company of Sega will never truly know how to perfectly interpret his character, supporting characters, storyline etc...

because that was already made by Mary Garnet

hee hee hee, Sonic the hedgehog was an idea from this woman IIRC inspiried by the adventures of her husband. After discussing the matter with other fans aware of this...it appears Sonic was bought from the family by Sega and given a physical appearance by Ohshima, the games programmed by Naka. But neither Naka or Ohshima made the storyline which would be a foundation for Sega to use nor the other universes. That credit goes to you miss Garnet, not Naka, Ohshima or any of them. I think I see now. She's the one we should be thanking. Not only for Sonic, but for many supporting cast members he has. Sonic Team will NEVER be able to be the truest form of Sonic EVER, they interpret her ideas like all others. And its not like Sega ever got detailed ideas from its truest source, because she died before she could see Sonic in a game with a storyline or anything.They added things like all others, So each is no better than the other. All universes are based off of HER. So none of the Sega oriented universes are official. None could ever be. The maker of Sonic is dead.Killed in a car crash in the 1970s. The game universe comes second, Mary's comes first.


Thus no Sonic Team isn't official.

Sonic is about 57 years old (while most only count his 13 years with Sega), his first universe established before Sega even took him. No universe will ever from what I've been told be able to to say they have the truest idea. Mary's ideas were the truest, she created the character and concept that was a foundation even for Sega itself. Unfortuneatly she died in a car crash in the 1970s, so there is no way she could team up with any group of creatives.

Not only that, but she gave him a personality to match her boyfriend. Its rather confusing, but I'll continue researching this angle so that we can figure out more about how Sonic came to be. But for now we can see this woman made him. Hopefully she'll gain some respect.
