Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Warning!
Spoilers for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 ahead!
Sonic the Hedgehog 3included a handful of moments to set upSonic the Hedgehog 4.
Of course, given the events ofSonic 3, this is no huge surprise.
Robotnik’s presumed death.
So, Carrey’sSonic the Hedgehogvillain sacrificed his life to save the planet.
However, thepost-credits scene inShadow the Hedgehogdefinitively proved that Shadow isn’t dead.
He had taken them off before pushing Gerald Robotnik’s Earth-destroying weapon out of the way.
This is a relief but not a surprise.
This dark hedgehog will surely be at the center of further conflicts to come inSonic the Hedgehog 4.
In just the nick of time,a hooded figure carrying a rather intense hammer appeared.
This was, of course, Amy Rose, another hedgehog from theSonicfranchise.
Now, it seems that Amy Rose is next.
Amy first joined the video game franchise with 1993’sSonic CDand became a playable character in 1998’sSonic Adventure.
She possesses similar speed abilities as Sonic.
And wields a powerful hammer that assists her in battle.
Additionally, Amy tends to have a massive crush on Sonic.
Like Amy, this villain first appeared in the video gameSonic CD.
After landing in Japan to confront Shadow, Team Sonic sat down for a meal at a Chao Cafe.
Though they are sometimes adorable companions, they connect intimately with essential plot points.
It’s difficult to say how this all fits in with the live-actionSonicfranchise’s version of canon.
PerhapsSonic the Hedgehog 4will see Dr. Robotnik break the Master Emerald open, thus unleashing the villain Chaos.
It’s assumed that the Master Emerald is again hidden away following the events ofSonic the Hedgehog 3.
Sonic the Hedgehog3is expected to become available to stream on Paramount+ in February 2025.
