I’m a pretty new Sonic fan, so I guess that’s pretty good that I got as many as I did.

One of the answers made me laugh a little – I actually have an uncle named Steve!

Wait I thought for number 9 it was drill because before you play as sonic in tropical paradise in the cut scene cubot and orbot are trying to get the laser wisp and then at the end of it it goes into sonic and sonic becomes a laser and in the first level the first wisp you find is the laser then the second one is drill. I’m confused help!!!

I know more about the games then the movies. Also, I don’t read that many comics because most of the other characters look nothing like Sonic characters! (like those 2 itiots from Sonic Underground) The only TV show exclusive Sonic character who actually looks like a Sonic character is Manic The Hedgehog.

I’m 27 years old. Well I’m going to start this off by saying I had an amazing time yesterday at the Sonic Boom event. We drove all the way from Houston Texas for this event. My little brother is the biggest Sonic the Hedgehog Fan I’ve ever seen. I however did not enjoy the hosts lack of enthusiasm and lack of knowledge. She is Beautiful but I along with my brother and every Sonic fan around me during the trivia part of the event was very upset about the mispronounced names and the fact she never apologized for not doing the the multiple choose questions right. I feel if she had rehearsed this and was a real Sonic The Hedgehog fan the entire event would have been much more enjoyable for all the True Blue Fans out there. I ask for your next event that the host have more knowledge and more enthusiasm just like the fans would if they were on stage themselves. Sorry to be such a negative Nelly but if this event tours its good advice in my eyes. I own and run a promotion company in Houston and the biggest part of my job is to see that all the entertainment and performers know what they are doing and know there job to the best of there ability.

I got everything right except for #13. I didn’t even bother trying to answer it since I never played Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing before, but thankfully since my birthday is in a few more days, I plan on buying it! Still can’t wait for Transformed as well! =D
Ahem, anyways, great quiz here SEGA! Look forward to another quiz in the future. =)

Not sure why the one about Sonic’s uncle is in the “hard” category? I know this could differ from one person to another, but that still seems like one of the easy ones.

I got 11 out of 14 (I accidentally looked at the answer to question #15 so I can’t count that). Yeah, I know my Sonic.

Got five wrong. Thought I’d do better than that, damn those questions about All-Stars Racing and Archie. I’ve never played/read those. Once I have that awesome looking History of Sonic book, I’ll ace the next one…

But I only just got back into playing video games a few years ago, so I’ll blame it on that. Haha!

Got ‘em all except 13. I didn’t have an Xbox 360 at the time the original Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (& Banjo Kazooie) was released. I was only able to play a demo at Shopko once. The Mammoth Mogul ALMOST got me, but I guessed correctly. Haha. Fun quiz, would’ve been a good time competing with other fans! Maybe I’ll make it to next year’s convention, if it happens.

For me: 1, 9, 13, and 15.
I got 1 wrong because I had the answer right, but wrote the wrong answer, I knew it was June 23rd, but wrote the answer for 22nd instead.
9′s like a trick question, I wasn’t sure whether to count the white wisp’s boost as a color power up or not.
13 was very difficult. A perfect choice for Hard mode.
As for 15, I blame my lack of knowledge of the Sonic comic world, I really pay serious attention to what happens in the games, but mostly because I spent most of my life with so few Sonic comic books.
Anyway, Thanks SEGA for letting us take this trivia quiz. Because I was unable to come to Sonic Boom, despite buying tickets, this means a lot to me. I hope to have better luck next year.

24 points. Messed up with 13 and 15. In my defense, I don’t own an xbox and never noted the color of Mogul’s clothing throughout all of the encounters.
