Sonic's World is the homeworld of the Mobians and humans and it is the main setting of the comics and where the majority of events take place. It is a planet in the Prime Zone and is a similar version of the real Earth. Much of the world is governed by the United Federation which is itself led by the President, while some territories are under the control of the Eggman Empire. However even territories that are not completely controlled by the Eggman Empire have bases stationed within them which are run by Egg Bosses. The world, in this form, came into being after the Super Genesis Wave altered the original version of the Multiverse and the Prime Zone.

History[]
Ancient History[]
- At the dawn of time, a primordial deity known as Ixis came into existence and wrecked havoc across the universe. It was eventually sealed away by a group of lesser deities known collectively as the Chaos Titans, who then proceeded to the shape the known universe. (StH: #280; SU: #85, #88)
- Many eons ago, the world was formed. In that era, Dark Gaia and Light Gaia came to reside on it. Following a constant cycle, Dark Gaia awakens once every couple of million years to destroy the world and Light Gaia then restores it in an event known as the "time of awakening". The two of them would then return to sleep in the planet's core until they can awaken to continue the cycle. (StH: #258)
- Sometime afterwards, a civilization of Trolls rose to power in the land of Pancardina. Utilizing their elemental powers, they brought forth a new age of prosperity and world order with their cystalline magic and tech. This era was brought to an end by a catastrophic event that blasted Pancardina into a series of islands, with the Trolls being all but wiped out overnight. (StH: #276; SU: #70, #88)
- Roughly 4,000 years ago, the ancient Echidna clan, the Knuckles Tribe, sought to take the mysterious Master Emerald and harness its power. Their attempted raid angered the gem's guardian, the water beast Chaos, who, in a fit of rage, did away with the tribesmen. With Chaos dangerously enraged, Tikal sealed herself with Chaos into the emerald, and the resulting burst of energy caused the land to rise from the ground, becoming Angel Island. (VG: SA/SADX)
Modern History[]
- 50 years ago, aboard the Space Colony ARK, Professor Gerald Robotnik was forced by the President of that time to create the "Ultimate Life Form". Aided by the alien warlord Black Doom, they initiated Project Shadow, resulting in the creation of Shadow the Hedgehog. The professor hoped intended for Shadow to be the protector of the world, but Black Doom had his own, opposing idea to make Shadow his chief encorcer in taking over the world. The professor cut ties with the alien upon discovering his twisted intentions. With that, the professor went on to create the Eclipse Cannon, as a means to stop the eventual Black Arms invasion. (StH: #60)
- Shadow was eventually brought to life and developed a close friendship with the professors granddaughter, Maria Robotnik, whom was suffering from a terminal illness which her grandfather was working to find a cure for. When G.U.N. got word of the professors progress, and his initial deal with the deadly alien leader, the project was forced to be shut down. The resulting raid saw Maria Robotnik shot and killed as she aided Shadow in his escape, an event that the hedgehog would have engraved in his mind for the rest of his life. Learning of his granddaughters demise after being taken into custody, Gerald went mad with rage, swearing vengence on humanity. Shadow was put into stasis deep within Prison Island, and the professor was executed. (VG: SA2/SA2B)
- Some years ago, Kingdom of Acorn scientist Dr. Ellidy found himself in desperation as his daughter Nikki the Lynx began to deteriorate in health. His comrade Dr. Chuck the Hedgehog planned to use his Roboticizer invention to save her, but developement of the device proved too slow, and Nikki ultimately passed away. In his grief, Ellidy attempted to use the Digitizer as a way to preserve his daughters mind in the Digital World. He succeeded in creating a basic A.I. which he copied into a handheld computer. However, he was devistated to hear the machine respond in an emotionless, computerized manner. (SU: #72, #73, #74)
- After years of service to the Kingdom, Ellidy decided to retire and leave Mobotropolis for a fresh start. Upon bidding farewell to King Acorn, he bestowed his handheld A.I. to the King's daughter, Sally Acorn, as a parting gift. Father and daughter decided to christen the machine "NICOLE". (SU: #71)
- Not long after, or around the same time, King Acorn gained a new advisor in the form of one Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. (SSD: #12)
- The young Princess Sally continued to grow up happily within Mobotropolis with her father and nanny Rosie Woodchuck. The nanny soon gained more children under her care: Antoine D'Coolette arrived as part of an apprentice exchange programme, with the intention of becoming a royal guard. At another time years before, Rosie and Uncle Chuck discovered a young Bunnie Rabbot abandoned in the Royal Hills Zone outside of the city. (FCBD: #8, SSD: #8, StH: #281)
- Meanwhile in the region of Artika, a young Rotor The Walrus ran away from home for a better life after constant abuse from his father, Tundra the Walrus, and the death of his mother. (FCBD: #8, StH: #280)
- Back in Mobotropolis, treachary was afoot within Castle Acorn, as Eggman and his apprentice Dr. Julian Snively, in collaboration with the royal wizard Walter Naugus, convinced the king that the United Federation was planning to take over the kingdom. The king secured them positions in the royal court for their efforts, allowing the villains complete access to the kingdom's resources. Eggman's forces began working to strip-mine South Island and construct the Death Egg on Westside Island, and to hunt down the Chaos Emeralds. The King caught on to their evil scheme, but he was banished to the Special Zone by the doctor before he could act, alongside Walter Naugus, whom he had betrayed. (SSD: #12)
- As Dr. Eggman's coup d'état commenced, Sally and the other children of the city were spirited away by Rosie and Chuck to Knothole Village. Rotor had the misfortune of arriving in the city during the coup, and forced to quickly retreat to Knothole with everyone else. (FCBD: #8)
- During the coup, Bunnie somehow got caught up in an attack that left half her body with life-threatening injuries. Using the Roboticizer, Chuck converted her injured limbs into cybernetics to sustain her life. Bunnie was forced to learn how to walk all over again with the help of Rosie, facing both painful and humilating struggles in the process. But the support of her friends, particularly the young fox Miles "Tails" Prower, whom looked up to her like a big sister, encouraged her to keep going. Her strong will became a source of inspiration for Antoine D'Coolette to overcome his fears. (SSD: #8, #9, StH: #281)
- Dr. Eggman's conquest eventually hit a snag in the form of a young Sonic the Hedgehog, who managed to put an end to the doctor's operations on South Island. During this adventure, Sonic somehow managed to become acquainted with Sally and her group of friends, as well as Miles "Tails" Prower. He also made several visits to the Special Zone during this time, obtaining six of the seven Chaos Emeralds in the process, as well finding and rescuing King Nigel. Sonic returned to Knothole after this adventure, where he united with Sally and her friends before setting out across Westside Island to finish Eggman's takeover. (#288), VG: StH)
- The newly formed Freedom Fighters made their way across Westside Island, liberating each Zone. Soon enough, Sonic, with Tails' help, made his way up to Dr. Eggman's newly-launched space station, the Death Egg. After facing off against the first of what would be many robotic doubles, Silver Sonic, Sonic attained his super transformation for the first time and blew the ship out of the sky. (StH: #289, SSD: #12, VG: StH2)
- Somewhere around this point, Sonic, Tails and Eggman were all pulled into a time traveling adventure alongside their not-too-distant future selves, which saw the two Eggmen attempting to alter time and space with the monstrous Time Eater, an attempt thwarted by Sonic and his older self. Sonic returned to his own point in time, retaining only some memories of the adventure. (StH: #290, VG: SG)
- This adventure briefly left Eggman trapped in a white void with his future counterpart. After somehow finding his way back to his own time, Eggman set his sights next on the Little Planet-the planetoid that passed by Never Lake once every year-and its resident Time Stones. Sonic prevented the doctor's new plan to control time from coming to fruition in an adventure that also saw him go up against the metallic doupplganger Metal Sonic and rescuing the love-struck Amy Rose, whom had been captured by the robot. (StH: #260, #290; VG: SCD)
- After the damaged fortress landed on Angel Island, Dr. Eggman gained the trust of the islands guardian and last remaining echidna, Knuckles, whom he tricked into revealing the location of the Master Emerald. When Sonic and Tails tracked him down to the now sunken island, Knuckles was tricked into making the heroes journey across the island a lot more challenging. Soon enough, Knuckles had realised Eggman's deception, and aided Sonic in making aboard the Death Egg to retrieve the stolen Master Emerald. Super Sonic succeeded in destroying the fortress once and for all, and the gem was returned to Angel Island, allowing it to float once more. (SU: #69, #70, VG: StH3, S&K)
- The Master Emerald would immediatly be put in danger once again, however, when Dr. Julian Snively attempted to steal the gem away for himself. This time, the guardian rose to the challenge and defeated Eggman's lackey, which prompted Snively to flee. (SU: #70, SSD: #12, VG: S&K)
- After yet another failed plan, Eggman turned his attention next to the Eastwatch Islands and the legendary Ancient Gears. Meeting up again with Tails and Amy, and running afoul of Knuckles, whom Eggman had once again tricked, Sonic set off to gather the gears before Eggman could use them to power his newest weapon, the Mega Drive. (SMD)
- Sonic and the Freedom Fighters would continue to oppose Dr. Eggman's tyrany for quite some time, meeting various new allies along the way. They rescued a young Lupe the Wolf when Eggman's forces attacked her village, killing her father in the process. At another point, the heroes became acquainted with Dulcy the Dragon, who had run away from her home in Yurashia, to escape the various feuds that her clan were forced to endure. The Freedom Fighters heroism would inspire both girls to make their own stand against the Eggman Empire by leading their own Freedom Fighter groups. (StH: #277, #281)
- However, for every new friend made, so would a new enemy. The Freedom Fighters ran afoul of various rogues during their efforts, including, but not limited to, Nack the Weasel, Bark the Polar Bear, Bean the Dynamite, and the Battle Bird Armada. (SU: #63, #83, VG: STT, TA)
- On one particular occasion, Eggman kidnapped Tails and held him captive on South Island. Sonic's quest to reacue him was made more challenging by the efforts of the Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad, from whom he rescued alledged damzel in distress Breezie the Hedgehog, who tagged along on the majority of his quest. However, it was soon revealed that Breezie was in league with Eggman all along, and was reporting the heroes progress to the doctor. (StH: #268, #269, VG: S2-8b)
- Nontheless, Sonic eventually succeeded in defeating Eggman and saving Tails. But no sooner had he saved the day than both hero and villain alike were ambushed and captured by a vengeful Walter Naugus, who had since managed to escape from the Special Zone, and his twin sister Wendy Naugus. As Sonic and Eggman kept prisoner by the Naugus twins, it was left to Tails to save his best friend, in an adventure that saw the young fox go head to head with Wendy's minions, the Witchcarters. (SU: #83, #84, VG: TSP)
- At one point, Knuckles found himself up against Titan Metal Sonic in an adventure alongside the Chaotix on Isolated Island. (VG: KC, SU: #71)

- As Eggman's influence continued to spread across the planet, he proved more ruthless in his schemes. Discovering the legend of the water beast Chaos, he formulated a plan to use the creature: releasing it from the Master Emerald, he set out to use the Chaos Emeralds to make it grow more powerful. This would ultimately culminate in the creature losing control in its perfect form and flooding the city of Station Square. With the help of the spirit of Tikal, Super Sonic was able to quell the beasts anger and stop its rampage. (StH: #257, VG: SA/SADX)
- Eggman had shattered the Master Emerald in order to release Chaos, which resulted in Angel Island falling into the ocean. As Knuckles searched for the scattered shards, the island was visited by an archeologist, Relic the Pika, whom began exploring the landmass. When the Master Emerald was restored, Angel Island rose into the sky once more, leaving Relic cut off from the surface below. (SU: #63)
- Dr. Eggman uncovers the diary of his late grandfather, Professor Gerald, and learns of Project: Shadow. He decides to release Shadow from his stasis on Prison Island, and the duo (later joined by an undercover Rouge the Bat) plan to use the professors weapon of destruction, the Eclipse Cannon on the Space Colony ARK, to take over the planet. When the Chaos Emeralds are used to activate the cannon however, the professors final act of revenge is set in motion, and the ARK begins hurdling towards the planet. Sonic and Shadow manage to prevent the ARKS crash in their super transformations, but Shadow loses his remaining power and falls toward the planet, leaving Sonic and the others to believe he'd perished. (VG: SA2/SA2B)
- In actuality, Shadow was rescued by one of Eggman's robots. The comatose antihero was put into stasis in an Eggman base. (VG: ShtH)
- Metal Sonic is resurrected as "Neo Metal Sonic" and takes on the identity of Dr. Eggman, helping Breezie construct her casino empire in exchange for making it a deathtrap for Sonic and his friends.

- Emerl is activated and bonds with Sonic and his friends, but is destroyed in a life-or-death battle with Sonic due to circumstances. Soon after, Dr. Eggman rebuilds the robot as Gemerl, and activates the first Genesis Wave, which segments the planet into pocket dimensions and strips Walter Naugus of his powers. Gemerl acts as Dr. Eggman's enforcer as Sonic travels the world to find a way to restore it, but the robot goes on a rampage when it takes the Chaos Emeralds' power. Super Sonic and Dr. Eggman team up and defeat Gemerl, which restores his personality prior to his destruction, and now acts as a companion to Cream and Cheese. (StH: #257, SU: #89, VG: SBt, SAd3)

Recent History[]
- From a reader's point of view, everything from here on picks up from where the original timeline ended.
- Sonic awakens back in Mobotropolis feeling disoriented, suddenly experiencing memories of an alternate timeline (the Pre-SGW continuity) and is completely clueless as to his current situation. Inside Castle Acorn, Nicole developes an odd glitch which makes it so whoever comes into contact with her handheld body gains memories of the same alternate timeline. Naugus is the first to get this jolt of new memories, and flees the castle in terror. As the heroes continued to deal with the monstrous Tails Doll, Tails finds Nicole and becomes the second to revive memories from the other reality (as well as briefly regaining his memories of Worlds Collide). After the Tails Doll was defeated, Sonic and Tails discussed this confusion with their memories, at which point Sonic's own memories of the current timeline begin coming back, before freeing King Acorn from his imprisonment, and setting out on a new adventure to round up the separated Freedom Fighters, and to defragment Nicole by using her to give the Freedom Fighters their alternate reality memories. Elsewhere, Eggman, Orbot and Cubot, also having just returned from the events of Worlds Collide and similarly disoriented from memories of the other timeline, crash-land somewhere in the Efrika plains. The group begin their effort to get back to the Death Egg in order to find out what's happening to their world. (#252)
- Sonic and Tails venture to the Mystic Ruins where they meet Big the Cat and, soon after, are reunited with Rotor, who was next to have his memories of the old world return after coming into contact with Nicole. Providing the duo with their next lead, they set out to Knothole Village. Back in the Efrika plains, Eggman and his lackies finally run into some help, in the form of the Efrika Egg Army, led by Egg Boss Axel the Water Buffalo. (#253)
- Sonic and Tails venture to the Wood Zone, where they are reunited with Uncle Chuck and Antoine, meeting Ben Muttski in the process. Antoine has his memories restored, but Chuck and Muttski do not. Antoine gives Sonic and Tails the location of where Bunnie was: the Metropolis Zone. Meanwhile, Eggman arrives in Avalon and gains the aid of Lord Hood, converting his Egg Mobile into an Egg Walker for storming a G.U.N. Base before leaving. (StH #254)

- Amy Rose and Cream return to Mobotropolis in time to help rescue Sally from a chasing Metal Sonic. Sonic and Tails return to defeat the robot. Both girls regain their memories in time for a horrible revelation: the Super Genesis Wave has caused the multiverse to collapse on itself (and then recreated) and the planet, unable to contain the Chaos energies from it, shatters into pieces. (StH: #256)

After regaining control, Sonic decides to stay to undergo training with Moss the Sloth to overcome his beastly transformation, while the Freedom Fighters try to obtain a Chaos Emerald in the Sand Hill Zone. While Sonic manages to control his primal urges, the group's mission turns out to be a failure. They group back together and continue their search. (StH: #264, #265, #266)
- Having obtained an Chaos Emerald, Breezie holds a fighting tournament to distract everyone from the worldwide crisis; the winner wins the emerald.

- Later at the Blue Coast Zone, Sonic has a brief encounter with Eggman's Egg SWATs when a mysterious portal opened in the sky, unleashing the once-imprisoned Ifrit. With help from Silver the Hedgehog, who had been sent to deal with the phenomenon, they were able to lure the beast back into its fiery domain. Before long, Sonic, Antoine, and Chip had managed to locate Gregorios at a local temple, where he showed them the hidden Gaia Gate and gave them a list of locations which the families possessing keys to the Gaia Temples resided.

Background Information[]
- According to a post by Ian Flynn, only three video games have not occurred in the post-Super Genesis Wave world: Sonic Unleashed (as that is the current storyline), Sonic Lost World (which Ian says that he wants to deal with, but he can take his time to get there), and Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (due to the ongoing litigation with Ken Penders and the fact that, storywise, it takes place two years into the future). Thus, unless contradicted in-story, it can be assumed that all video games are canon to the post-Super Genesis Wave world.
- There has been some debate as to whether or not the planet is still named Mobius or Earth in the current continuity. It's been stated by Ian Flynn that a SEGA mandate declares that Sonic's world cannot be named, thus the names "Mobius" and "Earth" have been dropped. Whether the planet is still officially called Mobius in-universe is unknown. However, in StH: #287, as Chip says goodbye, he says he'll be with his friends as "a part of the earth you tread", though this is most likely referring to the ground rather than the planet itself.
- Despite this, other names that make reference to the planet's former name, such as Mobotropolis, are still retained.
- While Sega has nowadays prevented licensed media from giving Sonic's homeworld a name, ''Mobius'' was suprisingly later used in the Sonic the Hedgehog film series produced by Paramount Pictures where it is mentioned by Knuckles in the novelization of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (film) which line is assumed to have originated from an earlier script for the film. The name was not mentioned in the films due to the same mentioned above mandate.[1]
- Ian Flynn has confirmed on his Twitter that the calendar system from the old continuity no longer applies, nor does he have any intention of introducing a replacement calendar.
- Originally, Ian Flynn claimed on his blog that the events of "Genesis" happened in both the original and current timelines. However, Ian has since reconned this statement on his Twitter, confirming that Genesis only happened in the original timeline.
