# Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) is a critically panned video game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

## Princess Elise III

* I don't believe it! [After achieving an "S" rank]
* not bad! [After achieving an "A" rank]
* How was that? [After achieving an "B" rank]
* I'm a bit tired. [After achieving an "C" rank]
* I lose.... [After achieving an "D" rank]
* I got hurt!

## Dr. Eggman

* Now Princess, this way please...
* I've come here to obtain the secret of the Flames of Disaster from you. And to take the miracle gems that are the key to its secret... The Chaos Emerald!
* A pleasure to meet you at last, dear Princess of Soleanna.
* You wasted so much of my time!
* (After Shadow enters the train by breaking through the ceiling) Wouldn't the door have been easier?
* Mephiles played us all for fools! His plan all along was to cause the Princess to be so consumed with despair that she'd cry.
* Here I come, Sonic! (during the Egg Wyvern boss battle)
* It's no use! Pull back pull Back! (starting to leave from Mephiles being free)
* I'm not finished yet!
* Why you little... Upper cannons open fire! Shoot him down!
* Not that blue hedgehog again! ATTACK!!

## Mephiles the Dark

* Wuahahahaha! Oh, how ironic fate can be! I would never have believed I would be resurrected through your shade! I thank you. Shadow the Hedgehog!
* I'm Mephiles, Mephiles the Dark. [long pause] What, did you forget me? I owe much to you, Shadow. [short pause] Oh, yes. [energy ball in his hand] What you gave to me, I now return to you: a 1-way ticket to oblivion!
* I was expecting you sooner.
* As you must know, you're already too late.
* But it still time for you to change your mind. Join me, Shadow. Let us teach this world a lesson and rewrite the future.
* It's a pity, Shadow the Hedgehog. Truly a shame that you would fight against me.
* Hahahahahaha, ahahahahaha!!! Finally, the seal is broken! At long last, I will be able to join with you, IBLIS!! Now, Chaos Emerald. It's time for the final curtain call!
* Just as a flower comes from a seed or a chicken comes from an egg, everything has an origin.
* [to Omega during first battle] You're just a nuisance... robot.
* [taking damage in Boss Battle] Gah!
* [after Silver finds him in Soleanna] Why does that matter to you? Unless you complete your task, your future will remain the same... forever.
* Drown in darkness!
* Sink into darkness!
* Looking for me?
* I'm your shadow... You can't even touch me...
* Why fight at all? Why risk your life for those who will persecute you later?
* The 'I' of now absorbed your power through your shadow in the past. What may have worked ten years ago no longer does!
* [After making hundreds of clones of him] You must realize by now that you can not hope to stop me with your 'limited' power!
* I'll make sure you regret this, Shadow the Hedgehog!
* Such foolishness. Very well! Let's see if you can entertain me!

## Shadow's Story
### E-123 Omega

* Perfect Mission. (When achieving an "S" rank)
* Good Performance. (When achieving an "A" rank)
* Now is the designated time!
* I shall assist.
* Shadow. Rouge asked me to support you.
* What is Eggman up to? Who is Mephiles?
* Shadow, the one who defeats and seals you in the future... (points to himself) is me.
* Eventually when something or someone is seen as too powerful... it is seen as a threat. (reaches out "hand" to gesture at Shadow, who has turned away, unnerved) And then the world becomes its enemy.
* Our targets are the Chaos Emeralds. Begin searching immediately.
* (After dying) "System Error..."

### Rouge the Bat

* Don't you want to know what this is?
* It's... It's so unfair! Shadow's always here to defend the world. Despite that...
* Shadow...? Even if you believe everyone in the world will be against you... know that I'll always remain by your side. Remember that.
* Well, now... I may not look it, but I'm a real treasure hunter. Unlike a certain echidna I know.
* My precious Chaos Emerald. You are all so beautiful. Your mysterious brilliance...
* I've found a Chaos Emerald!
* Hmph. He finally shows up again and then he leaves before even saying, "Hello." Well, it seems his little trip hasn't changed him.
* What did you think of my beautiful technique? (after getting an 'S' rank)
* For me, it's a piece of cake. (after getting an 'A' rank)
* That was pretty good, I guess. (after getting an 'B' rank)
* I guess I took a bit too long. (after getting an 'C' rank)
* How can I call myself a treasure hunter? (after getting an 'D' rank)
* So, Shadow, what do you think?

### Shadow the Hedgehog

* Hmph. Perfect. (When achieving an "S" Rank)
* Hmph. Not even a challenge. (When achieving an "A" Rank)
* I determine my own destiny.
* Don't try to deceive me. [Mephiles: What?] You have no desire for revenge. You only crave destruction. Your only lust is to fuel Iblis until there is nothing left of time itself.
* That's absurd. Whatever it is you want to do, you can do it alone.
* Follow me if you want the truth.
* (while fighting Solaris) A super-dimensional being? Heh, this might even be a fair fight!
* Guess that was alright. ("B" rank)
* Need to stay focused.. ("C" rank)
* I will release you from the chains of your past.
* Time to unleash the ultimate power!
* Rouge! You saved me.
* This is the distant future, far removed from our own timeline.
* (how to return) You need a space-time rift, but this requires a lot of energy.(After Sonic answers)Yes, but that alone is insufficient!
* (to Eggman) Who is Mephiles? And why are you trying to capture him?
* (After fighting Mephiles) So you say, if the world chooses to become my enemy, I will fight like I always have!
* I am Shadow. Shadow The Hedgehog.
* To discover what happened, it seems we must see what took place 10 years ago. Follow me if you want the truth. (Jumps into the portal)
* LET'S GET MOVING!
* Heh... There's no strength in numbers!
* I found the means to seal Mephiles.
* The rift is getting bigger. There's no time left!
* (sets Scepter of Darkness aside Elise) I already know what becomes of it in the future...
* (about Sonic) Certainly, it might've been possible... if he was still alive.
* The time-space rift is expanding! There's no time left... I've got to hurry!
* (After learning about the doctor's train) Shoot, I've gotta get to the station!
* Maybe I wasn't strong enough... (When achieving a "D" rank)
* Who are you? And how do you know my name? (After Mephiles knows Shadow's name)
* (After falling off a pitfall) NOOOOOOO!
* Don't touch it!
* Mephiles, I won't let you escape!

## Silver's Story
### Amy Rose

* YAY!!! I ROCK!!! (When achieving an "B" Rank)
* Aren't I just incredible?! (When achieving an "A" Rank)
* I gotta do better than this. (When achieving an "D" Rank)
* 2 heads are better than one when looking for someone!
* [to Silver] The person you were looking for was Sonic?! Were you planning to kill him?
* If I had to choose between the world and Sonic, I would choose Sonic!
* Ho... that was close. [After achieving an "C" rank]
* Hmm... I sense Sonic's presence there. Call it my girlish intuition.
* HEY! You're not Sonic! [Slaps Silver, who almost falls off the roof, but Amy ignores it, and buries her face in her hands] Um... I'm sorry!
* Just perfect! [After achieving an "S" rank]
* Sonic! You came!
* Absolutely NOT!

### Blaze the Cat

* You're so naive. Whether it's right or wrong, I can't really say… but what I do know is... if we don't take this chance, the future will remain exactly as it is.
* (After Silver is rejected as the vessel for Iblis) I'll take Iblis. Don't worry. My soul is already alit with flames. I will be accepted.
* The Iblis Trigger... Blue Hedgehog...
* That's a Chaos Emerald. It's said this gem can transform your thoughts into power. Collect seven, and a miracle's supposed to happen. Keep it as a lucky charm.
* You're still so naive. But... I... I've always liked that about you.
* Can't complain. (after getting an 'S' rank)
* Good luck, Silver. (as she drifts away)
* The Iblis trigger...blue hedgehog...Can it be true? i need to find Silver fast! (in her Wave Ocean level)
* Darn! Why now? (when the whale is chasing her in Wave Ocean)
* Ooch! (when she gets hurt)
* It's useless... (when defeated)
* Can't complain. (When achieving an "S" rank)
* All it takes is a little effort. (When achieving an "A" rank)
* That was so-so. (When achieving an "B" rank)
* I should have done better. (When achieving an "C" rank)
* That was weak. (When achieving an "D" rank)

### Silver the Hedgehog

* (narrating the Intro of his Story) This world was devastated before I was born. A harsh bleak place, where we live in eternal darkness. Life is a struggle, and people live without hope. How did this happen? No one will answer me directly. But they always point... to the flames. (a fiery tornado rises appears before Silver, who extinguishes it with his Psychokinesis) These flames. They burn away at my world, destroying every thing in their path. They come from an eternal life form that we cannot truly defeat. The Flames of Disaster known as Iblis.
* I've finally found him... the Iblis Trigger!
* PERFECT!! (When getting an "S" Rank)
* Looks like I'm on a roll! (When getting an "A" Rank)
* Don't you dare turn your back on me!
* It's time I finally put an end to this!
* Your actions will condemn us all!
* For the future of the world, I will destroy you!
* I will change the past, and save the world!
* I'm coming Kitty cat!
* Shadow! I'll be looking out for your 'truth'.
* A guard, huh? Just try and stop me! (When battling Egg Genesis)
* This is the end! Prepare to meet your doom!
* I will protect the future!
* Now I must fight for the future.
* My name is Silver.
* Time for you to disappear, Iblis Trigger!
* Don't get in my way!
* I won't give up! It all depends on me! Can't lose! Not when I'm so close! CHAOS CONTROL!
* The root of all our problems... I will defeat you, My lord!
* Is this a joke? How could someone like you cause the destruction of our world?
* It doesn't matter. For the sake of the future, the Iblis Trigger must be destroyed!
* Mephiles! Why are you getting in my way?
* I see it! So... that blue hedgehog's the Iblis Trigger?
* What's the point of all this? It'll never end!
* (to Mephiles) Who is the Iblis Trigger? Why does he want to destroy the world?
* (to Blaze) I can't! I wouldn't know what to do... without you! You've fought alongside me to save the world... You're my friend... Right?
* Circumstances have changed. I need to rescue the Princess!
* So THAT'S why he wanted me to kill Sonic before!
* You were the vessel that was used to seal Iblis. You should be able to use the gems' power to rescue Sonic's soul!
* Blaze? To kill someone to save the world... Is that really the right thing to do?
* Since he's after Dr. Eggman, let's sneak into Eggman's base!
* If you say it exists in the past, present and future, I'll destroy them all at once!
* Amy? Get out of my way Amy, this is my mission!
* I've been looking for you, You're the Iblis trigger!
* (When dying) Not... now.
* (To Shadow when fighting Solaris) You're low on ring energy, use the triangle/Y button to switch with me!
* IT'S NO USE!!!
* (Take too long to clear a stage and get a "D" Rank) I need to pull it together...
* That took too long! (When getting an "C" Rank)
* No! I can't do that to you!

## Sonic's Story
### Knuckles the Echidna

* Who was that guy? He looked just like Shadow!
* I saw Eggman on the outskirts of the city. He wanted me to give this to you. (tosses Sonic a holographic message)
* No matter where we go, all we see are ruins. How can this be our future?
* I'll take care of it!
* Alright! (when receiving an "S" rank)
* That felt good. (when receiving an "A" rank)
* Well, that wasn't...too bad. (get a "B" rank)
* Hmph. That took longer than I thought. (get a "C" rank)
* Shoot! I still got a ways to go... (get a "D" rank)

### Miles "Tails" Prower

* I heard you tried to rescue their princess from Dr. Eggman.
* A Chaos Emerald! You've already found one!
* (landing in isolated base in the future) Boy, do I feel dizzy... Where are we?
* This is terrible! According to the data, the princess died when she was kidnapped by Eggman! Apparently Eggman's battleship exploded! The data of this incident was... two days after the Festival of the Sun!
* WHOA! My head's spinning!
* GREAT! I did it, Sonic! (when getting an "S" rank)
* An "A" effort! (get an "A" rank)
* Well, not bad! (get an "B" rank)
* Elise is on that battleship? Wait up, we're coming!

### Sonic the Hedgehog

* That was incredible! (When getting an 'S' rank)
* Too easy! No sweat! (When getting an 'A' rank)
* My... That's a pretty snazzy performance there.
* The whole city's on fire!
* That tornado's carrying a car!
* Doesn't look like you're here to talk.
* Here I come! Gotcha!
* Piece of cake! No sweat!
* Darn! We're not gonna make it. Let's speed up!
* This is your pet, huh? Okay, Eggman. I'll play with him! (When Battling Egg Cerberus)
* If I find the one issuing orders and defeat him, I can defeat everyone at once.
* If you have time to worry, then run!
* Nothing starts until you take action.
* You think you can intimidate me with your size? Let's see what you can do! (When Battling Egg Genesis)
* Silver! I can handle this myself. Besides, you have somewhere to go, right?
* I'll make sure to change Elise's fate. And that in turn should change your future, too.
* Since Eggman went to the trouble of telling me where Elise is, I think I should thank him personally.
* (resurrected as Super Sonic) Thank you, Elise.
* Alright, it's my turn. Let's have some fun, Overlord!
* Smile.
* WHHHHHHOOOOOOOAAAAA! (Falling into an abyss)
* This is it, Eggman! Prepare for another defeat!
* The present day...the here and now you've stolen, time to take it back!
* Cool! It's raining fire!
* I'm Sonic... Sonic The Hedgehog!
* (Take too long in finishing a stage or get a 'D' rank) Man! Today's not my day!

## Quotes about Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 game)

* Sonic the Hedgehog may share its name with the Genesis original, but this game is even more broken than most of the other recent Sonic games have been. [...] Only the most blindly reverent Sonic the Hedgehog fan could possibly squeeze any enjoyment out of Sega's latest adventure. This platformer is a mess from top to bottom, and any of the occasional moments that don't feel somehow broken only serve to make the game's other flaws appear that much bigger.
** Jeff Gerstmann of Gamespot in November 2006
* The 2006 Sonic game was meant to be something of a soft reboot for the franchise, telling an entirely new story, albeit with the same characters, in a new location. The story is vast, expanding the universe, introducing plenty of brand-new characters, telling the tale of a race to stop a dark god from consuming time itself; unfortunately, that doesn't save it from being an underwhelming installment in the franchise. After all, half of the plot is about saving a princess from Dr. Eggman over and over again, and the other half is a poorly paced mess of confusing timelines and underwritten characters.
** Holden Sasaki of Screen Rant in October 2024
