Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\| '''Kintobor''': "Who in tarnations are ''you!?''"~~<br />~~ '''Sonic''': "Don't you ''know?'' I'm '''[[Sonic ~~the Hedgehog\|SONIC~~ the Hedgehog]]'''[[~~Tradesnark~~Tradesnark™\|™]]." }} A very interesting entry from the earliest days in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] series, this ~~oneshot~~one-shot 1991 promo comic was crafted in an attempt to provide an origin story for Sonic in the western world, as well as promote his [[Sonic the Hedgehog (~~Video~~video ~~Game~~game)\|debut game.]] The comic starts with Sonic rescuing his friends from several badniks created by Dr. Robotnik, as they question where their friend [[Sdrawkcab Name\|Dr. Kintobor]] is--only for Sonic to drop the bad news that Kintobor IS Robotnik! He then goes into an origin story, where Sonic explains that he first met Kintobor by burrowing into his underground laboratory, just as he is working on the Retro Orbital Chaos Compressor-- [[Fun ~~With~~with Acronyms\|or just ROCC for short]], which the good doctor intends to use to rid the world of all evil, as soon as he finds the seventh Chaos Emerald, which is required with the other six already in the machine. Sonic and Kintobor become [[Just for Pun\|fast friends]], and after a freak accident involving a treadmill (due to Sonic wanting to kick the mass versus velocity theory in the dirt) Sonic's fur is turned from brown to cobalt blue, and his quills are permanently fused together from the heat of the speed he was going at--and Kintobor promptly gives him a special pair of frictionless shoes to replace his old ones. But one day, Kintobor [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero\|spills a drink on the ROCC controls]], causing the ROCC's containment rings to scatter all over the island, as well as bathe Kintobor in 10,000 bolts of Pure Evil Energy, causing him to transform into Dr. Robotnik. Line 11: The rest of the comic is spent on Sonic partaking in loose adaptations of the levels from the games to try and stop Robotnik, as well as saving Porker Lewis in the end, and the comic telling the readers to go buy the game to see what happens next. While the comic is obviously not canon to the games, it did provide the backbone for Fleetway's [[Sonic the Comic]], which borrowed the same origin story. No relation to [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)\|Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog]] comic series, by the way. You can find the comic in question in its entirety [http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(promotional_comic) here.] ~~-----------------~~ {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes Related To The Comic: ===~~ * [[Art Evolution]]: Sally Acorn appears very, very different. She is not humanoid at all (the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (~~Comic Book~~comics)\|current one]] is essentially a [[Humanoid Female Animal\|photorealistic naked human with a anthro animal head stuck on]] espesically under Stevn Butler), wearing a pink bow (the current one has boots and a vest) and very dimunitive. Also applies to Jonny Lightfoot and Porker Lewis. Thankfully, the current incarnations are not photorealistic humans with animal heads, however the new ones are more anthropomorphised. Sally is essentially [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091002173929/sonic/images/e/e4/Ricky_(Sally_Acorn)_1.png Ricky] with a bow on his head, trying to pass for a girl, in this issue. Line 30: * [[Create Your Own Villain]]: Robotnik * [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: On account of the totally bizarre origin story. * [[Fun ~~With~~with Acronyms]]: ROCC. * [[Grimy Water]]: In Labyrinth Zone, due to Robotnik's pollution. * [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]] * [[Mecha -Mooks]]: The Badniks. * [[Mineral MacGuffin]]: The Chaos Emeralds. * [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: If Kintobor had just kept that soda away from the machine, the whole mess wouldn't have started in the first place. Line 39: * [[Pungeon Master]]: Sonic. * [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: Kintobor and Robotnik. * [[Super -Hero Origin]] * [[Super Speed]]: Sonic, naturally. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Sonic the Hedgehog (Franchise)~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:~~Sonic~~Comic ~~The Hedgehog Promo Comic~~Books]] [[Category:Comic ~~Book~~Books of the 1990s]] [[Category:Sonic the Hedgehog]] [[Category:Animal Title Index]]
