Review scores?

[edit]

I changed the review section like with Sonic Rivals 2. Someone had grossly inflated review scores here. Everything is correctly referenced. Luuthian (talk) 02:55, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

www.sonicrivals.com?

[edit]

www.sonicrivals.com is not an official site! It is just from someone trying to make money with the google banner. And it contains pictures taken/stolen from Gamespot.

In time you will add...

[edit]

Yet another heads up...revealed from a game tester....add when the game comes out.

  • The 5th character is Metal Sonic.
  • Silver is searching for Cream and he doesn't know why.

Without a source, this info is unverified. Knuckles sonic8 21:31, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh shit...pwned again! XDGrandMasterGalvatron 03:12, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Silver is search for Cream? Well, that blows my theory--I thought he was searching for Blaze. Well, this could be explained if Sonic Rivals takes place after Sonic Rush. Cream was a good friend of Blaze's. It's possible that his mind vaguely remembers Blaze after the ending of Sonic the Hedgehog (see the Sonic CulT spoilers for info), and after this point, somehow knows that Cream knew Blaze. --Ultima 12:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since I read those spoilers before, I'm sure that's a pretty good speculation, actually. But, is there a source/link that confirms his search for Cream? Knuckles sonic8 20:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As of now, no link, so I'll note it out for the time being. GrandMasterGalvatron 02:42, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Knuckles and Silver?

[edit]

Where is the proof for knuckles?

u can see the proof if yougo to this page [1]


Hokay, does anyone have proof for Silver? I thought it would be, but I'm suspicious until someone cites this. I.M.Fearless 21:11, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think this'll be the first console Sonic game to not have Tails, if this article is to be believed. Sonic3KMaster (talk) 06:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Erm...Doesn't the Mega Drive count as a console?And the one that Knuckle's Chaotix was played on?Because Tails didn't appear in Sonic the Hedgehog or Knuckle's Chaotix.-Centurion_Ry

Silver was confirmed a long time ago. At E3 he is seen on the promo art instead of Knuckles. A variation of the promo art has Silver appearing instead of Knuckles, but they are both in it. Tails will also be featured in the game, but not playable. Amy will, too. http://news.sonicstadium.org/story/195/

Hmm, don't forget Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. In Sonic Spinball you see Tails but you don't play him. The same thing for Sonic CD, you see him but don't play him. Axidous 21, July 2006

Cards and Characters

[edit]
  • Okay, where has it been verified that Amy and Tails have been turned into cards?? Please verify this. And, while I'm on that note, has Amy OR Tails even been confirmed?? Please, again, someone verify this. If no one does by tommorow, I'll remove it. Or at least someone else should/will. UnDeRsCoRe 00:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This has actually been officially confirmed by Sonic Team. I'll try and find a source if you wish, but it IS completely and totally 100% accurate. --Ultima 16:38, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I managed to figure out the site it came from, but I don't know the URL of it. It was from the SEGA Press Vault Site. IGN (only has basic profiles) and Sonic News also reported some news on it. By the way, this has been widely known for a while now. --Ultima 16:51, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay.UnDeRsCoRe 19:24, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Layout

[edit]
Hynt!! I was testing out something to show Silver in the pictue. I don't know what way I licensed it so I'm wondering if it's still ok. ^^;

Axidous 8, July 2006

For the heck of it, I updated it a bit more. Now the story is basic, with a separate section called 'Characters' specifically for character info is up. There's Main Cast and Supporting Cast. Main is obviously for the main characters, while supporting is for the other characters--including Eggman, Tails, and Amy. --Ultima 15:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spammedy Spammed up Spam...

[edit]
  • Well, apparently this is suffering the same fate as the Sonic Riders article. Endless spam. Please, QUIT adding Elise, Rouge, Cream, and... anyone else, to the character roster. They are NOT in the game! ...at least, not yet. --Ultima 23:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It isn't spam, it's more like vandalism or people adding a bunch of information that isn't backed up by any (reliable) resource. UnDeRsCoRe 22:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that's essentially what I meant... yeah. --Ultima 16:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quality Standards

[edit]

Apparently someone thinks that this page isn't meeting Wikipedia's quality standards. I don't know why that would be the case... </sarcasm> Anyway, how do you think we should go about fixing it up? I'm thinking of a number of ways myself. I figured I should post this here after seeing that notification. --Ultima 16:10, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Story section needs to be fixed. There's only a sentences right now. :P Knuckles sonic8 14:22, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Release date

[edit]

Where is the release date from, and for which region(s)? There doesn't seem to be any Japanese release date available yet. In fact, it seems that a Japanese release hasn't been announced at all. [2] [3] (Stefan2 08:45, 8 October 2006 (UTC))[reply]

The US release is tomorrow. I expect this article to be updated with all the goods mates :) We're also on our own here as there is no strategy guide for the game GrandMasterGalvatron 14:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm planning on getting it (not necessarily tomorrow, but soon) as well. Hopefully, I'll be able to add stuff to the article, for sure, once I get it. Knuckles sonic8 21:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Secret Character

[edit]

Just a thought but this source [4], near the bottom of the page, claims that there is a 99% chance Metal Sonic will be the unlockable character. Although maybe it shouldn't be added due to speculation possibilities, it's just something to keep in mind. Knuckles sonic8 15:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sonic Cult has actually discovered tons of info on the games, some proved true, some false. It's speculation either way. UnDeRsCoRe 15:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
'Eh, I'm not surprised it'd be Metal Sonic either way. However, can someone post the info right here (in the talk page) so I can read it myself? I can't ever access Sonic CulT's site. I also heard about a Cream card somewhere, but it's also on Sonic CulT. --Ultima 19:47, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I added the Cream card alraedy. It's there in the same section, I believe. Knuckles sonic8 01:14, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It is Metal. The Sega tester confirmed this a while back GrandMasterGalvatron 17:24, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It did? I never saw Metal Sonic in the trailer. Can you screencap it for us? UnDeRsCoRe 23:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
GrandMaster, that "OneClassyBloke" fella on GHZ? Sources? Knuckles sonic8 00:10, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it was him. Before he left SEGA, he did some work on Sonic Rivals. He doesn't know much, but he did state that Metal Sonic was the 5th character. Now there's another source saying it as well as the aformentioned link. Though it's already been added to the article, I suggest it should stay as if any of us were to go to said convention, we'd see it as well. After all, we first learned of said 5th character from a convention such as this. However, I will not object if you choose to remove it.GrandMasterGalvatron 12:29, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think it should remain for the time being (not stating it as "definitely Metal Sonic" or something along those lines) but as of the moment, it appears to be missing from the page at all....:S Knuckles sonic8 03:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Screens up! Go see for yourselves! GrandMasterGalvatron 03:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Saw 'em. Surprised GS revealed it... Anyway, at least now we know he IS in the game. Knuckles sonic8 20:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AH-HA!!! So Metal wasn't destroyed after all! I knew it!!! BlackEDGE MkII 00:49, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Big the Cat/Cream the Rabbit

[edit]

So, anyone figure out how these two are involved in the story? Grandmastergalvatron, how about you? Knuckles sonic8 14:38, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch that. They're not. Plain and simple. :P Knuckles sonic8 20:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What Really goes on....

[edit]

Potentially... {{spoilers}} Well, I rented the game and can confidently say I have discerned a lot about the game. The first being that, thus far, Cream nor Big is in the story. I have gotten all S Ranks already (but make no mistake, it's not easy) and no reward has been given but there still may be a reward as I have yet to complete all the challenges (there's a lot).

Thanks to the user that added Eggman Nega to the page (assuming it was GMG) and, yeah, it is true. He appears in almost everyone's story. I can add blurbs about each person's story and how it progresses if it is notable. For instance, in Sonic's Story, I can talk about how he is introduced, the events that lead up to his confrontations with Eggman and when Tails and Amy are saved, how they help and how the rivals are involved in the story. Stuff like that.

Also, Rouge is found in Shadow's Story but is turned into a card by Eggman Nega as Dr.Eggman was. Shadow sets off to save Rouge near the middle once he finds out what happened.

I know a lot of cards now also. For instance:

17. Cheese - Artwork from Heroes (2003) 18. Cream & Cheese - Artwork from Heroes (03) 19. Sonic & Amy - Artwork from Sonic CD (93) 20. Amy Rose - Artwork/Sonic Channel (05) 146. Super Sonic - Artwork/Heroes (03) 147. Super Shadow - Artwork/Shadow the Hedgehog (05)

Also, Metal Sonic does not have his own story, he is just a character you can select in other modes. I'm curious to know if maybe the reward for S Ranks is ability to play as other characters that made cameos in Story.... but I doubt it. :(

Anything else, just ask. (Forgot to sign: knuckles_sonic8)

Actually...I had already added all of those...and some others XD. Check out the article.
Also, can you confirm that the chaos emerald cards are in heroes order?GrandMasterGalvatron 21:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I noticed but I was just saying. Ummm... regarding the Emerald Cards, I can check but I only have one so far :P. Be patient with me, although I don't have the game for very long (I rented it).

Also, got a question for you.... (already added spoilers tag above)...

Have you gotten all S Ranks? I'm wondering if it's just me that hasn't gotten any reward as of yet... Defeat all challenges yet? I tihnk there were claims of there being a "Last Story" potentially and maybe even a playable Super Sonic character. You aware of any of these? How far are you in the game? Knuckles sonic8 20:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not far at all as I don't have it. I am collecting data from people that do have it :P
As for Super forms, perhaps if you get all of the Chaos Emerald cards they might be playable.GrandMasterGalvatron 04:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I got em all - Chaos Emeralds, that is. Nothing happens I guess....Or m/b all cards are required... dunno. I rented the game and it has to go back today and I have one card left!!! It's so frustrating. It's "Egg Breaker" I believe, acc. to the page. Am I wrong or are the card distributions random? Still wondering if other characters are unlockable or if there's a Last Story (doubt it though, even though at the end, everyone talks about gathering the remainder of the cards). Knuckles sonic8 20:59, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, come on... all the major Sonic games since Sonic & Knuckles have had some sort of "Last Story" or "Extra Stage". You'd have to be daft to think that it wouldn't happen. Perhaps you need a specific combination of cards? --Luigifan 22:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cards Images

[edit]

I have attempted uploading the images of the cards but it comes out all wrong, should something be done about it or leave it until all images reveal themselves and make it look seemingly look better. Also other cards are revealed such as new 2D Silver, Blaze, etc. and the 2001 and 2002 Santa Sonic card images exist on Wikipedia (I uploaded them). SoundPound500000 November 24, 2006 5:43 p.m.

Yeah, I've seen all but one card (again, so frustrating; couldn't get it and had to return game). You can try uploading the images but it's not of major priority. Only if you have the time, then sure. Knuckles sonic8 21:28, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cards section should become an seperate article

[edit]

The card section of the article has taken a lot space, and all of them aren't even there! I say the card section should be an article of its own. 16:26, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree. Anyone else up for it? Knuckles sonic8 14:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New article added. I gotta find out how to make it look the way it's supposed to on the article ("Main Article" format). Knuckles sonic8 14:37, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, got it. So, what do you think? Knuckles sonic8 14:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Eggman Nega is enemies with Eggman??!??

[edit]

i thought they were freinds, where and how do you know their enemies????

Well, first of all, the fact that Nega turned Eggman into a card! :P Knuckles sonic8 21:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Evil people have a tendency of turning on one another if the time calls for it. Plus, due to the timelines of Rush, 06, and Rivals, it's uncertain if Nega and Eggman even remember one another. DeathGodDragon EDGE 07:10, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Never considered that. I kinda assumed they already knew each other - personally, I think they do; otherwise, Nega would know who Eggman is since he acknowledges he's a "descendant" of him but Eggy probably would be clueless. Knuckles sonic8 21:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe Eggman did something that ended up shaming his descendants, which is why although they worked together in Rush, Nega imprisoned Eggman in a card in Rivals. DeathGodDragon EDGE 21:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But seriously, let's drop this before this becomes forum-ish. Knuckles sonic8 20:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blaze the Cat???

[edit]

The article states in the Casting section that Blaze is a character in. Beyond her cameo as a card, does she really make an appearance? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.19.141.251 (talk) 20:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

This is false. She doesn't make ANY appearance other than the card cameo. Knuckles sonic8 21:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

story

[edit]

give me the story

Each character has a seperate storyline but they all come together in the end as they each face Dr. Eggman and save a/some card/cards. Respective storylines per character can be found on the front page and on other articles. Knuckles sonic8 21:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rivals PS3?

[edit]

I heared a rumor saying that if Sonic Rivals is a succses it will be released on PS3 like GTA Liberty City Storys. Is it true?Mt 1994 18:15, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably unfounded. Where'd you hear it? Knuckles sonic8 22:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not happening, especially on PS3. --Guess Who 03:10, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plot?

[edit]

Are we putting Plot details in yet?

Eggman's appearance

[edit]

I didn't play that game, I just want to know if Eggman looks like he is in Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 or if he looks like before. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.162.68.54 (talk) 16:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

He appears as he did before 80.126.32.62 12:30, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Final Story?

[edit]

Even if I had the money, I wouldn't buy a Sony system. So yeah, I read the script on gamefaqs. The story seems unfinished after each story, just as it does in every game before you get the Final Story. Also, they hint at getting all the cards. Should we just wait until someone actually beats the game, or can someone get an Action Replay and hack out any secrets we haven't gotten on here yet? By the way, I know this is kind of stupid, but has anyone gotten all of the Sonic Battle cards yet? Jon166 02:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no final story to unlock. The endings actually wrap up each character's story quite well.GrandMasterGalvatron 00:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question

[edit]

Why was Jet and Espio not playable their only apperence is their cardsSonicrules2 02:42, 27 May 2007 (UTC)Sonicrulse2[reply]

Apart of the main series?

[edit]

Should this game really be listed as apart of the MAIN series? To me, it seems more like a spin-off. Proto Dude 14:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As Sonic 06 retconned itself away, this game serves to introduce Silver to the main story. Also, it picks up from Rush with Eggman Nega's appearance.GrandMasterGalvatron 00:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

[edit]

Doesn't this article need a plot section? 71.182.145.40 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 00:01, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
