Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) (commonly abbreviated as Sonic 06) was a game created by Sonic Team and published by SEGA. It's infamously well known for being an extremely broken game rife with bugs, glitches, awful physics and much, much more. It's one of the few well-known Sonic games that fans of the franchise have the general consensus of being bad. What most people don't know is the influence it can have in the real world due to its broken nature.

## Influence on the Lore

### Origins

Sonic 06's broken nature is due to many problems that came about during its development. From the lead director of the games quitting his job to avoid having to work on only Sonic games any further, as well as not liking SEGA, to Sony threatening SEGA of not allowing to put their game on the Playstation if they couldn't get it out by Christmas, to the team splitting up to make an entirely new game because they realized the game was getting too intensive for Nintendo's upcoming console, code name Revolution (later named Wii). So much was against this game, it didn't even have a chance of doing what it set out to do, which was to show people what Sonic was always meant to be.

With all of that said, because the game is so broken, it leaks some of it's instability into the real world, and can strengthen the influence of negative things that happen. It's much like Points Revamp and it's successor, however those strengthen anything, whether it be positive or negative. Although not proven, it's possible the game is filled with the frustrations of the employees that had to work under the time crunch, and the group splitting up.

### The Sonic 06 Streams and the Nuke

Not knowing of its influence in the real world, QueueSS decided he would play and beat Sonic 06 with his best friend LiL DICK Mane during the summer of 2020. All went well for the first stream, but mysteriously gamerz128, someone who keeps the universe from breaking apart, left for around two weeks. All was well despite this as LiL DICK Mane being the guest star was just enough to keep everything stable. Even then, sometimes the game would be broken more than it usually would, as it was getting more and more unstable as it went on. For example, sometimes the character models would stretch across the entire screen, rendering the game unplayable. At one point, Que had to tirelessly beat a segment of the game with an unintended character because of this. Unfortunately, even though Que decided to stream another game as a means to take a break from it, things would not get better.

Near the end of streaming Yakuza Kiwami 2, jossh99 bought a nuke, and as the rules are, anything bought on the Q\*\*\*\*Cli\*\*\*r store must be delivered. Nukes specifically must be delivered on the next stream after purchased, as Que has to create the nuke with its attributed buffs asked for by the buyer. Coincidentally, the next stream would be the final Sonic 06 stream, this time accompanied by goeticthunder.

When the nuke landed, the entire universe was destroyed. Everyone on the stream and in chat were the only people remaining. They were all at the End of the World in real life. The only possible solution they could do from their was beat the game, and hope everything went back to the way it was. Eventually, the reached the final boss, Solaris Phase 2...and Que and LiL DICK Mane couldn't beat it. They kept dying to the boss over and over again, and it seemed hopeless. Then, they decided to give goetic a chance...and he beat it on his first try. Solaris was defeated, Sonic 06 was beaten, and the universe was finally fixed, with goetic being the true hero of the universe.
