Sonic The Hedgehog Trailer: 7 Easter Eggs You Need To See

3. The Special Stage

Seeing Sonic in a real world setting is somewhat disturbing, but thankfully, there are various suggestions throughout the trailer indicating that the blue b*stard has stumbled out of his own universe - and via traditional means.

Firstly, there's the pile of burned out sneakers in Sonic's little den, hinting that every Earth shoe he's tried has been ill-equipped for the toil of his immense alacrity. Then there's his meek attempts to delude James Marsden, and the subsequent necessity to remain hidden at all times after the pair become pals.

The most obvious clue pointing towards the hedgehog's interdimensional traversal is the presence of the distinctive big rings. All Sonic fans know giant rings are the trick to entering the Special Stage, and their transportative qualities are there for all to see in the trailer. Let's just hope they eventually bring us back to Moebius...

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
