Metal Sonic
If the Metal Sonic debut in Sonic CD, who's that metal hedgehog who appears as the penultimate boss in Sonic the Hedgehog 2? 208.54.39.190 (talk) 16:14, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just noticed this, but I reverted the edit because it said that she was playable in a multiplayer mode, which isn't technically accurate; she's playable in the single-player campaign of Shadow the Hedgehog as a partner character, but she is not playable in that game's multiplayer mode (only Shadow and variants of him are). Saying she's playable in the multiplayer mode isn't accurate, and the edit itself was vague in structure. She's not playable in Sonic Adventure 2 or Shadow The Hedgehog's multiplayer modes, so it's not correct to say she is. Unless I somehow missed this fact, Maria has never been playable in a dedicated multiplayer mode in any Sonic game. Raptormimus456 (talk) 00:31, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Because if we mention it for Maria, than we'd probably need to mention it for all the other guys, too. Besides, that sort of thing is really more suited to the game's article and not the character list. At least, IMO. Raptormimus456 (talk) 01:05, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Again, it's not really something I find is required for the character article. Maybe the game article, but not the one for the characters. It's not really notable for Maria specifically, it's just a mechanic of the game itself. So again, why make a note about it for Maria, but then not bring it up for, say, Charmy or Knuckles? It's a thing that belongs over on the game article and not here, at least in my own opinion. Raptormimus456 (talk) 14:33, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
^ Ironically, Charmy is one of the only characters the second player CAN'T control in that game. Anyway, I honestly don't see the problem with it, and it's not the type of thing we'd have to list for every character; the only reason it's notable in this context is that it's the only time she appears as a playable character in the entire franchise. Something simple like "Maria's only playable appearance is in Shadow the Hedgehog, where she can be controlled by a second player during specific in-game missions." should suffice. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 15:11, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Should Sticks be integrated into this page? While she's primarily associated with the Sonic Boom brand (appearing in all four Boom games, 3 of which were playable appearances), Sega's been integrating her into the main series as of late; she's got an official profile on the Japanese "Sonic Channel" website (which focuses almost entirely on the main series), and she's now playable in both Runners and the new Mario & Sonic game. It might not be a bad idea to write up a brief blurb with her basic personality traits, game appearances, and some details on her creation and the comparatively unusual means by which she became part of the franchise. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 15:03, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, she's fine to go in now. The main inclusion criteria for the article is for a character to appear in more than one game, which she has, so she's good. If she's ever been removed, it was from back before the Boom games were out, or due to it being a poorly written or unsourced entry. Sergecross73msg me15:33, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. I'll leave it to someone else to type something up, since being an anon, I'm not exactly in a position to edit the page. While on the subject of re-adding characters, what's the stance on the Deadly Six? Their primary appearance is Lost World, of course, but we've also had members, if not the whole group, making appearances in other titles. All six made non-playable story appearances in Runners and as a trophy in Smash Bros Wii U, Zavok and Zazz are playable in Rio, and Zazz has been a boss in Dash and Runners. Notable enough for addition, or should we keep them off? -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 18:23, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
