As we all know, in the 35th anniversary Sonic central, we saw the first trailer for what was, at the time, the new, highly anticipated, 3D Sonic game, which of course, showed off Sonic’s new model, similar to the, at the time, recent redesigns Mario and donkey Kong had undergone, Sonic was changed to be more cartoony and ‘expressive’.

This significantly hurt Sonic’s character imo, Sonic’s supposed to be cool and badass, not cartoony and childish. Sonic’s current design is far, far too much, his proportions are exaggerated to absurdity, his quills are too long, he has too much muzzle curve, and his expressions are utterly ridiculous, like they’re tryna make the next big meme face. it’s so difficult to take seriously, and for a franchise like Sonic, taking the main character seriously should be the upmost priority.

Sonic’s late 2000s-mid 2020s design understood this *perfectly*, he could be expressive when he needed to be (see the unleashed opening), but they generally knew to not push it too far and to keep it low key a lot of the time. On top of that his looks are perfect, his quills are the perfect length, his muzzle curve is just right, even right down to his nose, it’s all the perfect shape and size, it’s no wonder why this design stuck around for so long, it’s the absolute perfect Sonic design.

And then they changed it…

We as a community need to unite to bring this design back to how it was, Instead of the childish slop they currently have, and make Sonic cool again!

It’s like he’s still with us😔

Final horizon cyberspace levels are very fun :)

Update: I improved my sky sanctuary speedrun

Classic sonic in gens is super underrated

There were rumors of a Sonic central happening next month, so I decided to make a bingo sheet based on what I think could be in there
