sonia and manic never really were sonics br and sis, not officially it was justm a test to see how people would react.
though turbo tails and hyper knux are real, I'v seen them in games, and I kow they were in the comics, though in the comics hyper knuckles was green and turbo tails had a cape, and no flickies.
to tell the truth if there was an epic battle between sonic and shadow, no holding back, sonic would win, though the only reason they'd have him win is he's sonic, and whats the series called? Sonic The Hedgehog.
and I personaly don't like the idea of shadow with a gun, its very pointless and completely goes out of the rules of the sonic series, its supposed to be about animals with special powers like speed, chaos control, flight, and strength, not some black hedgehog packing gun powder.
ok I am done.
