Sonic Adventure 2. Sonic 06. Sonic Heroes. Sonic Colours. Sonic and the Black Knight. Sonic Heroes. Sonic Generations. Sonic Rush. Sonic Rush Adventures. The list goes on.

All of these games were grounded. They weren't stupidly overly serious (except for Shadow the Hedgehog) but they all held important, dire plots that people went on to remember and hold dear. Each of these games respected the stories of one another and added something in their own right.

This is what I meant. It's a stark contrast from Lost World, which is a completely disconnected story with a forgettable cast, and Sonic Forces, which is inconsistent with the plots of other games, and, in some cases, contradicts them (case in point: my Chaos 0 VS Chaos 4 example above.)

Sonic isn't the perfect game series and I'm not gonna protect every aspect of it, far from that actually, but there was certainly a time where SEGA deeply cared about their stories, and now is coming the time where SEGA is trying to laugh at the series alongside all the people who had made fun of Sonic before.
