One major Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0character may have met an ultimately demise, if a New Year’s Day image shared by the franchise’s Twitter page is any indication. Although almost assuredly not a serious plot point, it’s both darkly humorous and a deep-cut reference to one of Sonic’s very first games.<\/p>\n

While the\u00a0Sonic the Hedgehog<\/a><\/em>\u00a0franchise is typically not known for a mature plot,\u00a0its\u00a0characters have sometimes\u00a0found themselves in mortal peril.\u00a0For example, the most recent mainline game, Sonic Forces<\/em>,\u00a0implies that thousands of soldiers perish during the fight to reclaim the world from the grasp of Eggman. A more direct example comes from the infamous 2006 game\u00a0Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em>, where Sonic is shot and killed by a laser<\/a> on-screen. It doesn’t stick, though; Sonic ends up revived thanks to the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and his death ends up erased from the timeline.<\/p>\n

The new Sonic image contains many nods to Sonic’s past, but the most jarring is the apparent death of Miles “Tails” Prower, Sonic’s much-loved genius sidekick<\/a>. It appears that Tails experienced severe motion sickness from a fast-paced amusement park ride, with unfortunate results. He appears slumped over, with crossed-out eyes and his soul flying out of his body. The other characters enjoying the same ride appear to be perfectly fine, so Tails is\u00a0probably especially sensitive.<\/p>\n
