Summary

We try to go fast through the history of Sonic the Hedgehog but there's too many spikes of random information that pop up and get in our way. Our three egg men answer questions like how did Sonic come to be? How was he marketed differently? How does one character get two simultaneous bipolar cartoons? Why are his silly comics mired by years of lawsuits? We get knuckles deep in this one, covering everything in the first 15 years of the little blue guy before calling an audible and realizing ironic masterpieces like Sonic 06 and genuine delights like Sonic Frontiers will have to wait a week to get their proper due.
