>canon
Sonic canon does not exist, anon. they've always done whatever they wanted and throw in a new island/planet/space station/dimension to have it fit.

>they had a consistent idea going forward with a main canon.
the longest streak Sonic has maintained a consistent story is 3 games.
>b-but S&K
if you're going to call the official SEGA approved manga and official material published by SEGA in SEGA's own newsletter as "supplementary," then S&K is just the other half of Sonic 3.

>they have stated this.
what they've stated is what i have stated.
>the central park bit is irrelevant.
it's literally what has given you purpose. how would you wig out over Sonic's skull or color scheme if we were playing Rapid the Rabbit's franchise instead?
>ohshima did not fuck around with figuring out sonic's design.
he fucked around figuring out multiple designs, and then let people choose.

>yes it is.
no, the shitty games are.

and >>715765650 has a wonderful point. you don't see people complaining that Bowser doesn't look like this anymore.
