 +
==Synopsis==
 +
''{{PAGENAME}}'' documents a large number ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games released over the series' history up until this point. Each section dedicated to a game features a description of the game and a summary of its plot (if present), and features sub-sections that list levels, items, enemies and which levels they are associated with, bosses, and descriptions of any characters that debuted in their corresponding games. Also documented on the pages are "factoids" that describe canonicity information, cut content, localisation differences and other miscellaneous trivia. While the book documents each major game in release order, some spinoff games are grouped into their own dedicated sections, such as arcade games, edutainment games and mobile games.
 +
 +
The book also provides new English names for enemies and bosses that were never given an English name before or weren't named at all, such as the names for every boss in the original ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' or the previously unnamed enemies that appeared in ''[[Chaotix]]''.
 +
 +
At the end of the book is a timeline of almost every known ''Sonic'' game released from 1991 to 2020, including games which do not feature in the book such as ''[[Sonic Pinball Party]]''.

|A factoids section for ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]'' states "''Wait too long, and Sonic will say, "I'm outer [sic] here!" He'll then jump off the stage, costing you a life.''". This actually causes an instant Game Over, however it did cost a life in most prototype builds.

— Dark Horse Comics website description[1]

Synopsis

Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia documents a large number Sonic the Hedgehog games released over the series' history up until this point. Each section dedicated to a game features a description of the game and a summary of its plot (if present), and features sub-sections that list levels, items, enemies and which levels they are associated with, bosses, and descriptions of any characters that debuted in their corresponding games. Also documented on the pages are "factoids" that describe canonicity information, cut content, localisation differences and other miscellaneous trivia. While the book documents each major game in release order, some spinoff games are grouped into their own dedicated sections, such as arcade games, edutainment games and mobile games.

The book also provides new English names for enemies and bosses that were never given an English name before or weren't named at all, such as the names for every boss in the original Sonic the Hedgehog or the previously unnamed enemies that appeared in Chaotix.

At the end of the book is a timeline of almost every known Sonic game released from 1991 to 2020, including games which do not feature in the book such as Sonic Pinball Party.

Mistakes

Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia makes several incorrect statements and printing errors. The following is a list of known errors:

Page Description
8 The factoid section states that Sonic was supposed to be "part of the band!". The section meant to say "part of a band!".
9 "Bridge" is misspelled as "brdige" in the description for Spring Yard Zone.
23 Four screenshots are used to represent Emerald Hill Zone. The first screenshot is erroneously a screenshot of Green Hill Zone.
25 Grabber's sprite is missing its winch and its front set of legs.
27 The artwork used for Micky is actually fanart drawn by former DeviantArt user RickyOwl (whose account was deactivated long before the book's announcement). A comment below Micky erroneously states the animal debuted in the restored Hidden Palace Zone in 2013 when it had always appeared in Mystic Cave Zone in the original game.
34 A factoids section for Sonic the Hedgehog CD states "Wait too long, and Sonic will say, "I'm outer [sic] here!" He'll then jump off the stage, costing you a life.". This actually causes an instant Game Over, however it did cost a life in most prototype builds.
48 The story summary for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 claims that Super Sonic defeated Dr. Eggman in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. While the player can have all the Chaos Emeralds by the time they reach Death Egg Zone, Super Sonic cannot be used there, though Super Sonic appears in the good ending.
53 Though this page is part of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 section, there are screenshots from Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles.
55 While each Zone featured in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles shows at least one screenshot from each Act, Lava Reef Zone only features two screenshots both from Act 1. Act 2 is not shown.
73 A factoids section for Chaotix claims that Amy Rose was "supposed to appear in a scrapped Sound Test Mode in other leaked early versions.". Amy is still in the final game and can be seen via a cheat code in the color test.
76 The title screenshot for Tails Adventures is actually a rip of the title screen graphics by The Spriters Resource user DogToon64[5].
79 The Jumping Combatants are listed twice in the enemies list for Tails Adventures. The second entry names them "Jumping Soldiers" and lists them to appear in Polly Mt. 2, though they do not appear in that level.
98 The description for Twinkle Circuit claims that Sonic must play through it before accessing Twinkle Park. However, Twinkle Circuit is completely optional, even for Sonic. The description may be referring to the bumper car section of Twinkle Park rather than Twinkle Circuit itself.
118 A factoid section states that out of the menu themes released for Sonic Adventure 2, only Dr. Eggman, Amy and Maria's themes were released in Japan. While Amy and Maria's themes are correct, the section erroneously lists Eggman, and does not list Shadow, Omochao or the President's Secretary.
120 A volume bar is overlapping the top corner of the title screenshot for Sonic Advance.
125 Screenshots of Ice Mountain Zone from Sonic Advance are erroneously used to represent Ice Paradise in Sonic Advance 2.
131 Two of the screenshots representing Sea Gate are taken from a fan-made port of the level in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
142 The descriptions for Soniclash! and Tails' Fly & Get claim four Game Paks are needed to play. All mini-games in Sonic Battle only need one Game Pak.
143 The Shadow's Speed Demon mini-game in Sonic Battle is incorrectly named "Sea Gate".
163 Radical Train is misspelled as "Radial Train" in the description for Soleanna New City.
169 Space Theater is listed as simply "Theater" in the list of battle stages for Sonic Riders.
183 King Shahryar is claimed to mistake Sonic for the Ma Djinn forces of Erazor Djinn. He does not do that - he instead finds Sonic insolent.
185 Blizzard Peaks is spelled without its plural as "Blizzard Peak".
187 All enemies that appear in Blizzard Peaks (the Crystal Head, Kaizoku Glider and Kaizoku Snowball) are incorrectly associated with Haunted Ship.
209 E-123 Omega's description for Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood claims the player must recover his dismembered pieces so he may join the party. This is incorrect, as the player doesn't need to look for his pieces for Tails to reassemble him.
213 The "Everything Is Canon" factoid for Sonic and the Black Knight claims that Sir Lancelot comments on the boss of Dragon's Lair resembling the Biolizard from Sonic Adventure 2. It is not Sir Lancelot who makes that comment, but rather Sonic.
226 The Blue Cube is incorrectly named the "Blue Block" for Team Sonic Racing. It is named correctly in the Sonic Colours section, however.
257 Heavy Rider is referred to as male when she was described as female in the digital manualMedia:SM PC DIGITAL MANUAL UK V10 LR.pdf[6]. Also, there is a missing space between "aspirations of" in Heavy King's description.
271 The Dream Events section for the Olympic Games series claims the first game in the series, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, did not feature Dream Events. The game did feature Dream Events, however they were not set in any specific location from the Sonic or Mario universes.
277 The list of unlock requirements for Sonic in the Super Smash Bros. series jokes that "defeating ten enemies in Cruel Melee in Super Smash Bros.

However, the hoax stated the player needed to defeat 20 enemies in Cruel Melee.
