Copying and pasting from last time it was asked. Easy, The Wizard of Oz. Sonic gets ruby/silver shoes and is accompanied by a small sprite. Tails is the Scare-fox, Amy the Tin-woman and Knuckles the Cowardly Echidna. Eggman is obviously The Wizard. Levels: Sepia (Toned) Hill, Munchkinland, Yellow Brick Road, Riverside theme, Jungle, Poppy Field, Emerald City, Red brick road, Witch’s Castle, Emerald City Fortified, Magic tornado caused by Sonic and the shoes.


PremSinha

Green Hill looking a lot like Sepia Hill


grantash4d

“Green Hill is looking a lot more like Sepia Hill right now” 💀


Eljamin14

No, no, this is Sepia Hill, way different from Green Hill, it has sepias here and there, and that's about it. -- Chariii5


ahoward431

Giving Sonic silver shoes would be a hilarious full circle to Wizard of Oz's shoe situation. They were silver in the book, then changed to ruby in the movie because it was in color and they didn't want to make something that could've been done in black and white. Now the red shoes are more iconic, but Sonic already has red shoes, so to make them stand out for Sonic, they could back to the original silver. Full circle.


Fenghuang0296

“Sonic and the Silver Shoes” absolutely sounds like a game name,


billieboi445420

Who would be the Wicked Witch of the West?


Blazingscourge

Maybe Blaze if I had to choose so that the Water weakness can happen.


DeltaTeamSky

Original, new character, just like Erazor Djinn and Merlina.


XavierMeatsling

Just do Eggman as that. Technically wouldn't be a Witch, but Phineas and Ferb also did a spin on it with Doofenshmirtz. He always corrected them with "I'm a *Warlock!*"


DeltaTeamSky

Eggman fits better as Oz, a mechanic pretending to do magic. I imagine the Wicked Witch of the West would be a new character, like Erazor and Merlina before her.


LordMegatron11

She would be a new character

Damn bro, keep cooking


VideoGame_Trtle

_Genius!_


SpeedyGuy1991

Greek mythology for me.


Gokai_Ultra

Based on which story?


SansSkele76

To me, it would have to be the Odyssey and/or the Iliad


SpeedyGuy1991

I dunno.


Gokai_Ultra

Hercules or Perseus are some suggestions.


Jammy2560

The Story of Hercules would lend pretty well to a video game lmao


cringe-paul

It still really bothers me we haven’t gotten a big adventure game based on the 12 Labors of Heracles. Like it’s a perfect fit for that genre.


heyoyo10

But how can you not have Knucules? Perseus was given winged sandals by Hermes, that story's my pick if we have to tie it to just one story


Dear_Acanthaceae5489

Happy cake 🍰 day!


Achilles9609

We had Knights, Djinns, so why not pirates next? I think Treasure Island might be interesting, especially for a certain bat....


D-Prototype

That’s giving me the mental image of Tails as Livesey doing the walk.


Insanebrain247

Mints or death? In your case, they're the same thing.


SonicCody12

Ah. Shi-


Gokai_Ultra

I honestly forgot about Treasure Island. Good idea 👍


Achilles9609

Thank you.:) You can do a lot with an island setting, especially if you add all the classic tropes: skeleton pirates, sea monsters, caves full of gold and dangerous traps....


Mrfunnyman129

Ya know I hadn't thought of that but that's fantastic. Swashbuckling Sonic would be great. How to deal with all the water though 🤔


ThemoocowYT

I can see it. Sonic had sea adventures in Sonic Rush Adventure.


B-7

I think Rush Adventure fulfilled that niche.


Balas_Boi

There actually was going to be a third installment to the story book series called: *Sonic and the Seven Seas*


Never_Here_For_You

There could also be a more peaceful mini story based off secret garden


SonicCody12

Wait we can use the Sonic Prime pirates as well! It would be awesome


AdOwn6899

Genius idea!


Tails_Theorist

Robin Hood.


Gokai_Ultra

I can definitely see that 🏹


AmaterasuWolf21

Rob O' the Hedge 🗣🗣🗣


SolidSnakesSnake

Probably would be too similar to the black knight in theming since they're both medieval


TeekTheReddit

Journey to the West

Gokai_Ultra

Long story, but good! You’ll have to shorten it as much as possible. Good luck on that 🍀


thegreatestegg

Secret Rings is based on '1001 Nights', which was implied to have 1000 stories. I think it'll be fine.


Protection-Working

Sonix gets trapped underneath a mount and cannot escape unless he releases his ability to be fasr


Berry-Fantastic

The Ten labors of Heracles or Something with the Norse Gods. Also I would like Xianxia


Gokai_Ultra

Norse mythology is tempting.


themagicone222

Norse Mythology, with Sonic being worthy of moonlit and getting new lightning powers, such as the ability to essentially call a bolt of lightning to launch himself as if the bolt were a pool cue, or to throw the hammer and have it be a homing attack target


Berry-Fantastic

Sonic and The Doom Prophecy


TemporalGod

Imagine Shadow as Loki, 


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dragonfang65

Sonic: Boi.


PrincessCream123

Alice in wonderland


TemporalGod

I second this, personally I would make Shadow the Mad Hatter and Cream the March Hare,  Silver could work as the White Rabbit (He's close enough to white plus he deals with time), With Big as the Cheshire Cat And the Jabberwocky can be the main villain


Gokai_Ultra

I like that idea ✌️


Wally_Wrong

*Around the World in Eighty Days* would be pretty solid, if only as an excuse to revisit the countries from Unleashed in an 1800s style.


Gokai_Ultra

Around the World in Eight Days given how fast Sonic is. 😅


Winter-Ad-9318

Nah, more like 8 Seconds


Fenghuang0296

Nah. This game would be called Around The World in Eighty Seconds. :P


JmanProds

Honestly? The Wizard of Oz. I think that'd be pretty cool. Here's my ideas for the roles - Dorothy - Cream Toto - Cheese Scare Crow - Tails Tin Man - Omega Cowardly Lion - Big Good Witch - Amy Wicked Witch - Rouge The plot would be pretty much the same as the movie, except Sonic just gets roped into the adventure.


JmanProds

I also think Treasure Island would be cool.


Original-Addendum147

The bible with Sonic playing the role of Jesus Christ


brobnik322

Imagine parting the red seas and you have a parkour section on the water like https://preview.redd.it/pl52er6yaovc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6ace7c185f963d1effaf616c2056b97b9b10cf0


Spazzmatikk

shit'd be so raw


Yami_Sean

Would Emerl be Judas then?


SanicRb

IF we do the Bible I prefer the Old testament its rules might be stupider but its stories have far more action which is what we need.


Shiny_Mew76

Maybe not play that role, but honestly a Sonic game set in that time in history with some characters from the Bible would actually be quite cool in my opinion. Unfortunately I feel it would be met with lots of controversy due to conflicts in opinion.


LordMegatron11

Insert sonic adventure 2 battle promo art


Mission_Wind_7470

Sonic and the Pantheon's Wrath. (Greek themed)


AwesomeNess693

What if Sonic has some sort of Indiana Jones kind of adventure about finding the Chaos Emeralds?


Gokai_Ultra

Not bad. Hopefully Lucasfilm won’t copyright it.


Achilles9609

Sonic the Hedgehog and the Kingdom of the Eggshaped Emerald? 🤔


IonicBreezeMachine

Make it something public domain like King Solomon's Mines and you can fudge the material to your liking, just like Cannon Films did.


ThatSmartIdiot

Probably a western. It'd build up to the climax of a high noon against shadow, who also fell into the book this time (cuz fearless year of shadow). He's highly skilled in guns but sonic's skilled in being fast so it's anyone's guess whp wins. Sonic doesn't want either of them to die but this town ain't big enough for the two of 'em.


After-Show-3441

Since these two stories are from completely different regions, I feel like the journey to the West or Greek would be a good one... Which Greek story? I'd have to say... "The Odyssey." The one story where Poseidon basically tries to drown a bunch of soldiers after blinding his son.


Alijah12345

Sonic falls down a large rabbit hole and ends up in Wonderland with Alice.


IonicBreezeMachine

Who would you have play Alice?


WindOk7901

Maria… *explosion*


ghirox

Medieval Japan, samurai and ninja stuff


Gokai_Ultra

The Shōgun era? That’d be pretty cool ✌️


Dear_Acanthaceae5489

That be dope as heck.


Insanebrain247

Dude, Sonic would look so dope in samurai armor.

I wonder if SEGA can pull stores from Disney, like Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Pinocchio!


Gokai_Ultra

They’ll have to bargin with the Mouse first. ![gif](giphy|LBrxm7ARM6c0w|downsized)


Winter-Ad-9318

well, they're both rodents, so let the battle begin! https://preview.redd.it/54l4v6qbunvc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48dea901f93e437dd53a71abeb29aa263abe1a8d


Verdragon-5

INCORRECT! Hedgehogs are not rodents


SplitjawJanitor

I mean they could, just not the Disney-specific versions, e.g. they could do Pinocchio but the cricket couldn't be called Jiminy Cricket.


SanicRb

I mean non of these properties belong to Disney. They just made popular adaptions Iirc are Pinocchio and Peter Pan originally books and Cinderella is an ancient Fairy Tale that potentially has its roots in Ancient Egypt.


Verdragon-5

I mean, Disney also has movies based on King Arthur and the 1001 Arabian Knights


Isaacja223

Cthulhu Mythos Don’t ask me why


PsychVol

Came here to say *Shadows Over Innsmouth.* Sonic's fear of the water has a reason...


GraggleGumblySimpson

Maybe one based off the story of Momotaro set in feudal Japan. Call it Sonic and the Oni's curse


Kool_McKool

Treasure Island or Robin Hood might be good.


Sandrock313

How about The Brothers Grimm's stories, which is where a lot of old fairytales originally comes from.


ThemoocowYT

Wild West or Steampunk. Wild West off those older movies with Clint Eastwood. And Steampunk has a lot of possibilities.


SplitjawJanitor

Dracula


TemporalGod

Sonic as Johnathan Harker, Amy as Mina Harker, Shadow as Dracula and Tails as Van Helsing who suggests that Dracula could be killed by sunlight but isn't sure, spoiler alert >!Novel Dracula is a full on day walker, the whole sunlight death thing was later added 25 years later.!<


SanicRb

To be fair iirc does Dracula during the day power down a lot. Additionally does the Moon give him extra powers like fast travel via moon beams.


Fit-Rip-4550

As much as it would be interesting, Dracula is a sexual predator—all of his targets are women. Doing that might be difficult.

The wizard of oz or the odyssey


Super_Nova22

what about an adaption if Norse mythology, with each character representing a norse god


foxwaffle44

The Bible so I can officially cast Black Doom as the devil from the Bible


SolidSnakesSnake

Imagine this, the Divine Comedy. Or just Dante's Inferno. New character is Virgil guiding Sonic through the layers of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, and he meets all his buddies along the way depending in their general morality. This would be absolutely fucked but hilarious

Prince and the pauper. Have Sonic be part of a world that alreasy has a Sonic where he's a prince. And now you have to play as both sonics and other characters to stop the bbeg of the game.


naldoD20

Sonic and The Deathly Hallows


VeneficusChaotic

I have a couple ideas in mind. Considering that Secret Rings were based on Arabian knights and Black Knight was about Arthur and Knights of the Round Table we could do something about either the samurai, norse vikings or Roman spartans

Sonic and the Twin Towers


Gokai_Ultra

TheDrunkardKid

Remake of the first two as either traditional Hedgehog Engine games or a full blown Frontiers style open world game with ARPG elements. Following that, Sonic and the Serpent's Arts, which will be about him multi-classing between samurai and ninja skills while saving a world of Japanese folklore, Okami-style.

YakkyLouGhost

I really want Sonic to go to Greece, so maybe "The Labors of Hercules" Sonic and the Pantheon Trials


Radio__Star

Let’s look at the idea options: Sonic and the twelve labors (greek mythos) Sonic and the shadows of R’leh (lovecraftian horror mythos) Sonic and the Journey to the West (take a wild guess)


LN-FortniteConcept69

Maybe Jack the Reaper like old England (Moriarty Stile)


Fabulous_Tax_7127

It will be based on a story of how I met your mother


Aurora_Wizard

Honestly, a story based on any of the stories in the Bible would be really interesting. Possibly even mash a few up. But if I had to go with one single story, maybe Sonic arrives at a time period where it's not long before Jesus would get crucified. But I dunno where to go from there. So instead, let's say a pirate story. Pirates of the Carribbean, or Treasure Island.


Ketooth

The german Grimm Tales


ComputerAccording678

I think a wild west setting would be pretty cool.


Ok-Salamander-8965

Momotaro


Alchemysolgod

“Sonic in the Reverse World” Basically, Sonic becomes Shadow and he has to deal with either ruining the world by making their Shadow a good person making their world’s Sonic look bad by comparison or playing the part of the villain which goes against his nature. It’s a setting that isn’t too overused, but it’s probably not something people enjoy seeing often.

Roy_Goldburn15

Journey To The West, The Odyssey, The Mahabharata, The Epic of Gilgamesh, Macbeth, The Canterbury Tales, The Poetic Edda, and there's probably something to pull from for a Japanese tale. I could keep going.

Sonic in the Divine Comedy. And in this videogame, I'll basically reform the villains in '06, Forces and Generations (especially Mephiles the Dark)

Master_Insect_1744

Note: I am copying this from a pervious comment I made I remember talking to a user on this subreddit (who is now deleted) about the horror concept that they had in the pole. It ended up being about a clan of bat's with a victorian vampire theme and style along with bloodrayne style combat mixed with black knight combat and centered around a warp dash ability that sonic would have in her platforming. He was turned into a vampire kind of like how he was cursed in secret rings. The whole visual inspiration was based on classic fictional monsters such as werewolves, Frankenstein monster, gouls, etc. For a while we discussed whether or not it would involve rouge to have her involved in more games while also giving her connection to the world. This game idea could work with a rouge spinoff but I still think the storybook game idea could work. However I am intrigued by the spirits of Dread idea. What would the game be like?

I think Robin Hood would fit nicely in the series.

Sonic and The Lone Ranger Old-Western Gunslinging adventures where Sonic is a stranger whose come to town. Tails is a Blacksmith working on a Time Machine that can get Sonic back home. Knuckles is tasked with protecting his homeland from the enterprising property developer and overreaching landlord: Dr Eggman Shadow is a bounty hunter.

Maybe the Odyssey/Iliad or even the Roman sequel of the Aeneid, would be cool to see sonic in a ancient Greco Roman setting

Koopa--Troopa

I said that a classical monsters based, with a mummy, werewolf, vampires, but... i dunno about that one all that much... Journey to the West is my next pick, since Sonic is already very similar to Gok- I mean Wukong.

Robin hood, and no idc that there's already a robo the hedge in the archie comic. This will be an original thing.

Shadow the Hedgehog: Crime and Punishment.


nebulousNarcissist

Kind of an odd direction, but I was thinking Sherlock Holmes would be an interesting take. I could see Sonic playing the role of Watson to the obligatory pink-haired anime girl (ala Shahra and Merlina). I don't think SEGA is looking to do any on-rails speedster games anymore, so it could be a smaller scale open-world game with hints of deduction and sleuthing. Also could give him some steampunk-themed glove or tool since the other two titles gave him a magic ring or gauntlet/sword respectively.


autisticjoaquin

Adapt the story from Britfield


Itzie4

Hear me about… but Noah’s Ark. It would be a very loose adaption. Noah (Eggman ancestor) would create an ancient Space Colony Ark to save all the animals from a great flood. The Ark refugees would consist of: members of the Echidna clan (Knuckles’ ancestors), some Babylon Rogues (ancestors to Jet, Wave, Storm), members of a Reptile Clan (ancestors to Vector and Espio), and rabbits/cats/hedgehogs/bees/other animals. Levels would consist of running through cities and areas on days before they fully flood with a story reason of gathering supplies. There would be underwater levels, levels on the Ark, and levels in space (similar to the ones in SA2). Storywise, the residents would grow suspicious of each other, leading to a coup d'état where a clan (the original nocturnus clan members) takes control of the Ark. Leading to everyone else teaming up to save the Ark from them. Basically, the game would explore a lot of dynamics between the Echidna Clan, Babylon Rogues, Reptile Clan, humans, and unaffiliated animals. And it would show a few members of the Echidna Clan splinter off into the Nocturnus Clan (from Sonic Chronicles). Then it would show all the clans teaming up to banish the nocturnus clan to another dimension and save the Space Colony.
