Why did Sega remove the character ages in the Sonic series? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Sonic is one of those series where the timelines are confusing and nothing makes sense if you think about it too hard. However, the ages of the characters have never changed. But, they have. When the series started out, Knuckles and Sonic were 15, and Amy and Tails were 8. Yes, Amy was the same age as Tails. This is a big part of why Sonic didn't like her. But later in the series, they wanted to make Amy Sonic's love interest. So they made her older but kept everyone else the same age, which caused a lot of confusion. There were also a lot of time skips, but none of the characters had aged at all even though time had passed. Eventually nothing made sense anymore, especially since most people already believed Sonic and his friends were adults. So instead of trying to fix it, Sega took the easy path and just removed the information altogether. It confused a lot of fans, but really it makes sense. It was getting too confusing, and aging them up would've been a bit difficult given the timelines. It was also implied from the start that the Mobian characters were older than the ages they were given, maybe because they age differently from humans. But it was easier to just remove the ages than try to explain this. I just wanted to talk about it because some fans are still confused. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
