This year marks Sonic The Hedgehog's 30th Anniversary, I made this because I want remind myself and everyone about all of Sonic's games of the past that signifies Sonic's history and I'll be giving off my opinion about his 30th and describe each year, I could of done the beginning back to 1991 but I'm lazy and his 5th anniversary wasn't really a anniversary.

2001: Sonic's 10th Anniversary came out with the sequel to the first Sonic Adventure. Sonic Adventure 2 was the next big title of Sonic on his new adventure as he became a fugitive from a crime he didn't commit and to stop this new foe name Shadow the Hedgehog who is known the as the Ultimate Lifeform who's helping Eggman to conquer the world along with a treasure hunter named Rouge the Bat who wants the Master Emerald from Knuckles but who is also an agent. This game was at its peak for the Dreamcast in the past until it was time to shut down the consoles for Sega and work on other consoles such as Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. 2 year old me would of never heard this game until he became a little kid, I got Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, I still recognize this game as Sonic's 10th title and I know that this game will be the most memorable. And to everyone's favorite song Live & Learn and Escape from the City.

2006: Sonic's 15th Anniversary, this was not the year that fans would want to remember for Sonic but I do, this was the suppose to be the reboot of Sonic but it didn't go too well with this game. Sonic The Hedgehog 2006, this was suppose to reintroduce Sonic into this new age but when the game came out, it wasn't something that fans or reviewers enjoyed due to its glitches and bugs. Also for the many quirks that it holds, I remember that I wanted this game as a 7 year old but never gotten it until my older brother a few years ago got it and I got to play it for the first time and I could understand why people hated this game but I felt as if this game still holds for people who like it, I've seen people on YouTube who say that they like this game despite its quirks and that's what made me respect this game, is that no matter how bad others see this, other people see this as a good game to them which also introduced us to new characters such as Silver the Hedgehog, Mephiles the Dark, and Princess Elise. And around this time with IGN saying "Sonic was never good" to which most fans hold cause of this setback but don't dwell on his setbacks too much, think about how he's been succeeding. That's what matters and I love the soundtrack to this game, it's so good. I heard people love the PC version that I've seen recently.

2011: Sonic's 20th Anniversary came out with a game like none other, Sonic Generations. This was to celebrate the 20 years of Sonic by using Classic Sonic in a 3D environment of gaming by keeping what he was known for back in 1991. You start your adventure by going though all the timelines of previous Sonic games from 1991 to 2010 and to save all of Sonic's friends who were caught by the Time Eater. Using both 2D and 3D to give this game it's title for those who love it like me. We get to revisit zones of the past and looking at what they kept from the original but also giving it a twist and with a updated soundtrack of certain levels and bosses to give you a reminder why you love Sonic. I wanted this game when I was 12 at the time. I got this game and beat it in one day, going back to that game reminds me why I love Sonic and from how much they put into this game by using Classic Sonic's gameplay style and Modern Sonic's boost formula style to make this game my favorite and other fans as well.

2016: Sonic's 25th Anniversary, this marks of two Sonic games of this anniversary with Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces. Two games to which that they connect to each other, the first was Sonic Mania to which this game was the best Sonic game of the past 10 years. This game holds its title by going through all of what we know about Classic Sonic by going through levels that we have encountered or going through new zones and fighting off these new enemies know as the Hard Boiled Heavies and facing off Eggman who has this mysterious stone called the Phantom Ruby which makes illusions to reality whether it was fake or not and it was up to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to take them down. This game did so well that they made a updated version of the game Sonic Mania Plus which adds the missing character Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel and to that, they made shorts called Sonic Mania Adventures to the success of Mania. I got Sonic Mania before the release of Sonic Forces and I beat that game in one day collecting the Chaos Emeralds but also getting the Encore DLC to which I haven't beaten yet. Sonic Forces was the next game to come after Sonic Mania, the game did a bit mediocre and to that, fans were a bit disappointed by the end result because of the excuse of the whole "four years of development and it did terrible" but really, it took three years to develop the new Hedgehog Engine 2 and one year to make the game. But it gave us what would happen if Sonic had lost and Eggman taking over the world and you with your custom hero to which they announced to make your own character and fight along side with Sonic by using Wispons with each of their on abilities to take down Eggman and a new villain name Infinite who has the power of the Phantom Ruby from Sonic Mania to create Eggman's army and make illusions of Chaos 0, Metal Sonic, Shadow, and Zavok to take down the Resistance. Classic Sonic from Sonic Mania came from another world to help out Sonic to defeat Eggman and to take the world back. I know some people thought that it was unnecessary that Classic Sonic was there but I still found it interesting how they use the new engine for Classic Sonic with his Mania abilities, if they did this again and learn what mistakes they did from Forces, then he would of been a lot better and with the stiff controls and short levels could also been touch up on since it didn't feel like a game that could take you a while to complete along adding Episode Shadow getting to play as Shadow again on the origins of Infinite to which people make memes of. I also beat this game in one day. I can understand how others feel but I still go back on this game to see when the next mainline game comes, we can see how much as changed.

2021: Sonic's 30th Anniversary. This year marks as Sonic's big change after the betrayal that fans have felt from that Sonic might not make it if he doesn't have an another great game because some of his previous 3D titles didn't do so great. Last year, Sonic was suppose to have a lot of announcements but due to the pandemic, it was put on hold and SEGA made a statement talking about how Sonic is no longer getting yearly releases anymore and that news and announcements will take time to prepare until everything has calmed down but that doesn't change over the fact that trailers and announcemnets will still take time. I've heard all of leaks and rumors about his next title that where completely false and title to fans wish to see like Sonic Adventure Remake, Sonic Adventure 3, 3D Collection like Mario, another Mania title, etc. I understand that fans are worried and concern if this title doesn't make it's mark but it's best to not get too concern, I know the his next game will do it. As long they make it right, I know that Sonic will go back on top to his glory again, you need to have faith that what ever they pull thrpugh cause they are trying to put as much effort into this next one since nothing has been said. I know some of you guys probably say but he hasn't had a good year last year cause he had. The Sonic Movie did a great success in the box office and beating the Marvel 10 year streak. He's getting a sequel for the next movie and production starts in March later this year, the comic sales has been going strong, Aaron getting a new position at SEGA of Japan, merchandises are coming in for his anniversary this year, the G-Fuel, being other IPS like Ninjala and Fall Guys. He's getting a TV show on Netflix in 2022, he hit one billion sales, new games are coming out. Sonic had good year, what really was the drought was game news. So get that in your mind. Sonic will have a exciting year this year, whatever this game is, I'm down for it and I know it'll be awesome to see what it is.

I have the poses for these and if you want them, I'll send it. This was fun to make, I'm excited to see what this year has in store for Sonic and I might update this once we see the new mainline but it'll probably be different without this whole explanation.

Enjoy!
