The backstory of Sonic the Hedgehog which is part of the Archie Comics aka the accident that happened happened before Sonic 1 (Start of the game continuity) which is why I rated Solaris "At least 2-B, possibly 2-A" instead of 2-A just to be on the safe side. I'll post my proof below:

'''Robotnik was once a kindly scientist named Doctor Ovi Kintobor, who sought to eradicate all evil on Mobius. By using his Retro-Orbital Chaos Compressor (or ROCC), he used the Golden Rings of Mobius to channel the planet's evil into six emeralds: the Chaos Emeralds. However, without the seventh and final Chaos Emerald, the ROCC was very unstable. At this time, Sonic the Hedgehog was brown and very spiky, not blue and streamlined as he is today. Sonic somehow managed to find Kintobor's lab and the two became friends. Kintobor performed experiments on Sonic's super speed with his Kinetic Gyratoscope, which helped Sonic to run even faster, and in return Sonic used his speed to search for the seventh Chaos Emerald (although apparently without success). When Kintobor invented the friction-less Power Sneakers, Sonic was able to run so fast that he broke the sound barrier. The resulting sonic boom shattered the treadmill and turned Sonic into his more familiar blue form.'''

'''Sonic continued spending time with Kintobor, judging that he was a nice guy. One day, when Kintobor went to get a snack from the fridge, he found that only a rotten egg was left. Going to find salt, Kintobor tripped on a cable and slammed into the ROCC, which exploded. The evil from the Chaos Emeralds combined with the rotten egg, transforming Ovi Kintobor into Ivo Robotnik.'''

You can still disagree if you wish.
