It was called Sonic the Fighters in America, too. Where was it called Sonic Championship? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.220.19 (talk • contribs)

American arcade release. Gems doesn't count. --Shadow Hog 02:50, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

8 chaos emeralds

I actually think that the eighth emerald is the master emerald, which is why its shown huge on the "You got all 8 emeralds!" screen.--Ac1983fan 18:09, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]



how do you, nvm yeah i agree

Most likely not, since the screen still shows eight other emeralds, as well as a gigantic green one. That makes nine emeralds, therefore your logic is severly faulty. Also, if it were the "Master Emerald", why would it be in Bean's posession? Masterotenko 18:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is getting out of control

Apparently, through my research, people are putting thier own interpertations of my notes on here, for example: 1. Listing the Shadow Characters in Non-playable even though they are playable and says so in a note next to it. 2. "These characters, like Honey, are only accessible by hacking, but don't seem to be prototypes. They may be Easter Eggs thrown in by the designers for anyone who hacks or could simply be leftover characters that were scrapped from the final version but whose data was left over." This quote is completely false. Rocket Metal, Robotnik in his mech, Robotnik's minion from the intro, and the Robotnik in the UFO are ALL seen in normal gameplay, and saying they are Easter Eggs for hackers is extremely farfetched. This game was never planned on being dumped and emulatable at the time. Also, calling them leftover characters that were scrapped is completely absurd, considering they are in fact used in the game. 3. "Strangely enough, this version of Honey makes a brief appearance in the opening of Fighters Megamix." This version of Honey does not appear in the opening of Fighters Megamix. An alternate version of this cat, the Shadow Character of Honey, appears to have the same colors at the cat seen in the intro to Megamix, however, it may, or may not have been planned to be Honey as we see it in this build of Sonic the Fighters. It could have been an altogether original character, as that cat character stands beside the Lunar Fox seen in gameplay. You may compare the image seen in Fighters Megamix here to the Shadow Character of the Sonic the Fighters Honey here. 4. "but Metal Sonic and Dr. Eggman (both of which can freeze the intro now and the latter will always crash when the final fight is about to happen) are still available." This statement could be somewhat related to BlueBlur's initial findings in the Sonic Gems Collection version of Sonic the Fighters. However, it was only upon loading any of the Eggmans (regular, large, minion, mech, or ufo), Rocket Metal, and Honey. Metal Sonic actually works in the gems collection and there are Action Replay codes to play as him. 5. "…and the one of the Emeralds could have been lost by another character and regained by him. It could have been that one of the Emeralds was a deliberate fake, much like Tails later possessed for Sonic Adventure 2." This line makes no sense and tries to fit continuity into the game. This game does not belong in any of the normal Sonic storylines. It is independent. There were no fake emeralds, and please stop trying to fit Sonic the Fighters into a "central" Sonic storyline, because Sonic is a genre which has no "central" storyline. Whoever posted this posted using their own opinion and not fact, so the neutrality of that statement can be debated. I have decided not to edit the Sonic the Fighters page deliberately, because I would make such vast changes, it would almost appear to be vandalism, however, I leave the public to edit this as they please. I am just representing the facts I have. Also, I have no idea how to use Wiki very well. Thank you, and good day. Biggestsonicfan 22:59, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I agree. The Wikipedia is for fact. I don't know much about this "Honey" character, but I'm going to edit the part about hacking Eggman and Metal Sonic.

"…and the one of the Emeralds could have been lost by another character and regained by him. It could have been that one of the Emeralds was a deliberate fake, much like Tails later possessed for Sonic Adventure 2."

That's all fan theories. Whoever is doing this, please discuss it on the Talk Page first. --Alice2 00:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Me again. I changed it, but I'm not sure how well I did. ^.^U I almost never edit articles. --Alice2 00:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd think the worst they could do was say that the greyscale characters were prototypes for Shadow or something... Cheeze Master 20:08, 21 September 2007 (UTC)Cheeze Master[reply]

Article title

Recently, the article was moved from Sonic the Fighters to Sonic Championship per WP:USEENGLISH. I oppose on 2 grounds:

  1. Sonic the Fighters was used most recently in the game's 2012 re-release on Sonic Gems Collection. This name was used in all regions, English included.
  2. I also believe it to be the WP:COMMONNAME. While not definitive, a Google test shows:

I'm open to discussion if I'm missing something though... Sergecross73 msg me 16:14, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Sergecross73:, makes sense to me. Thanks for reverting and stuff! --Soetermans. T / C 07:46, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Soetermans, no problem. I don't blame you for the move, my initial reaction was actually "Why didn't I think of that?", but then thought about it, researched it, and came to the conclusions above. I can see where you had been coming from. Sergecross73 msg me 12:51, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

North American release

@TarkusAB: I've heard that this game only got a limited release in North America because Sega of America considered its depiction of Sonic too violent. Have sources mentioned this? It might be good to put in the article. JOEBRO64 13:29, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Through my research, I remember glancing over that fact maybe once or twice, but each time I didn't feel the source was reputable enough or backed enough to consider it fact. In general, there is a lot of contradictory stuff about the arcade release, you sent me down a little rabbit hole...
GameSpy said it got a limited US arcade release in their Gems review. IGN said it "never saw a home release and never swept through US arcades", GameSpot said Gems "marks the first proper US release for Sonic the Fighters", but here they say it saw a limited release in US arcades. Eurogamer said it "only ever appeared in Japanese arcades". The History of Sonic the Hedgehog is the only source that even mentions a European release, and we know they were wrong about SegaSonic. They do also say "the game's distribution went almost unnoticed in Japan because of its violence, which could have been detrimental to Sonic's image."
We know it was definitely released in the US because Sonic Championship cabinets exist. I also know the cabs are rare, and given GameSpy and GameSpot say it got a limited release, I will add that in, but I don't feel we have it established it was because of violence. I'm also going to remove the Euro arcade release date. TarkusABtalk 14:15, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
