He took refrece from Back To The Future?

Guess that's where the "88 Miles Per Hour" achivement came from.

I remember when I first played this game when I rented Sonic Gems Collection. I never heard of the game. While playing it, I past the time posts and traveled through time, I concluded that that I was traveling through time because the posts said uture and Past. I didn't know the concept of the game so I was confused. I quit the the game because I thought I going back in time took me to a previous stage makeing start over, I didn't know if I was making progress or not.

@InvaderZonia is in love with her (Japanese and French versions only). Sonic has been proven to be shy around teenage girls (Elise, Amy, Sir Percival) so Amy makes him nervous when he's around his friends (Tails) because he wants to be the cool guy. but when they are alone he is much more open to her advances.

They reference it in Sonic 06 where if you pick Amy instead of Elise Amy is described as Sonic's longtime love meaning that he has loved her for a long time, In Sonic Chronicles Sonic has the option of telling Amy that he cares about her much more then a friend (the fact that there is the option means he feels that way, whether or not he told her or not isn't shown) in Unleashed he can accept a date from her and they are on that day in Black Knight, In Sonic X he even told her that

[InvaderZonia]

@pkstarstorm1up Then why didn't Sega reference to this "love" in Sonic Generation game? If anything in the first cutscene when Amy hugged Sonic he shoved her away! Same with with Sonic X more or less...he always ran away from her.

You don't know what you are talking about. Sally is only canon in the linked continuity between SatAM and the Archie Comics. Sonic X and all of it's characters were created by Sonic Team therefore it is a linked continuity with the games meaning all changes to the Sonic Adventure and SA2 story arcs were done on purpose as updates and are the canon versions. Sonic and Amy are in love in the Games/Sonic X continuity. Sonic Team have stated so themselves so do your research.

@pkstarstorm1up SonBlaze doesn't exist, you're right but neither does SonAmy...the only cannon made by Sega is Sonic and Sally...they get married AND have kids in the beginning of Sonic Universe, a comic you weeaboo sonictards never read because SONIC X IS KAWAII DESUUUU BECAUSE IT'S A JAPANESE ANIME!

[InvaderZonia]

@XElliotXRaverXRiderX People like you and your friend annoy me...considering you blind retards fail to notice the stuff before Amy! Or the things where she's barely in it and instead Sally is there...y'know, the one that doesn't get kidnapped all the time and her and Sonic get married in the beginning of Sonic Universe comics...which is from Sega...and cannon...where SonAmy is just a fan/head-cannon.
