SONIC ERAS

I decided to make my own eras division of the franchise

  • Classic Era : From Sonic 1 to Sonic R (1991-1997), Well there is not much to say about this era, it is the first, it is full of 2D games, with the exception of Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Jam and Sonic R, this era stands out for having the largest number of canceled games, among the most known are Sonic X-treme and Sonic Saturn

  • Adventure Era : From Sonic Adventure to Shadow the Hedgehog (1998-2005), The first era of 3D games, this era is quite particular, since it follows the same story line, which is completely ended in Shadow the Hedgehog, this era is the most beloved by many fans, in addition to being the first to have a voice cast

  • Modern Era : From Sonic Rush to Sonic Free Riders (2005-2010), After the definitive end of the Adventure story, the most unstable era of the franchise arrives, called by many as the Dark Era, due to the negative impact that Sonic 2006 had on the games that came later, games like Secret Rings, Unleashed and Black Knight they received bad or mediocre criticism, an era that also stands out for having an oversaturation of games, also had the first voices change

  • Colors Era : From Sonic Colors to Sonic Lost World/ Sonic Mania to Present (2010-2014/2017-?), 🎶🎶Take off, at the speed of sound, Bright lights, colors all around, I'm running wild, living fast, and free, Got no regrets inside of me🎶🎶 After the Storm comes the calm, and it is that Sonic Colors completely changed the franchise, like it or not, we must admit that Sonic Colors has been more influential than Sonic Adventure, we arrived at 2010, Free Riders, brought the second change of voices , Goodbye Jason Griffith, Hello Roger Craig Smith, Sonic Colors, changed the focus of the franchise, the type of stories, the soundtrack, the characterization of the characters, making it simpler, colorful and fun, this era is the longest of the franchise, it is an era of relative calm, except for the mixed reviews of Lost World and Forces, but they are not games that almost came to kill the franchise as 06, this era also stands out for having fewer games than the previous eras, to Except for another radical change in the next game, we will continue in the Colors Era for a few more years, And 🎶🎶We're gonna reach for the stars, Tonight🎶🎶

Before finishing, I will talk about:

  • Boom Mini Era : From Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric to Sonic Boom Fire and Ice (2014-2016) The reason why I never talk about Boom games in the Colors Era, is because I do not consider them as part of that era, but rather that these games make up a Mini Era, to speak of these games is to speak of the most failed era in the history of Sonic, was only sustained by the TV Series, Rise of Lyric was a disaster, at the 06 level, which almost made the franchise enter a Second Dark Era, but luckily it was not, this era was doomed to failure since the redesign announcement

What do you think of my division of eras?
