Sonic 3: How did the 2nd movie end?

2020, 2022 and 2024: Sonic brings his super speed to the cinema with metronome regularity. And just in time for Christmas, Sega’s mascot (still voiced by Ben Schwartz in the original version and Malik Bentalha in France) returns to our theaters, flanked by Robotnik and his grandfather (both played by Jim Carrey) and the mysterious shadow voiced by Keanu Reeves.

But this is not happening yet. And maybe you need a bit of a refresher on the ending of the previous movie so you’re up to date and not interested in what happened in Sonic 3 that directly follows from what happened in 2.

How does Sonic 2 end?

Manipulated by the many Machiavellian plans of Robotnik, who wanted Echidna to use the Mother Emerald, a powerful relic capable of destroying entire armies, Knuckles puts his strength and devastating fists to work for Sonic and Tails. And it’s not so much that the scientist, played by Jim Carrey, swallowed a huge gem and acquired its power before teleporting to Green Hills, the world of the famous hedgehog.

After a fierce battle, the emerald is spat on but shattered, revealing the seven gems (chaos emeralds) used in its creation. Which is no obstacle for Sonic, who absorbs them and transforms into Super Sonic, a golden version, even stronger and able to fly. Robotnik is clearly no match for the hero’s superpowers, who with Tails and Knees becomes one of the new guardians of the relic they manage to hide. All’s well that ends well for their trio… as long as they await the next threat.

What’s in the Sonic 2 post-credits scene?

Did Robotnik die by destroying the giant robot in which he hoped to defeat his enemies? Everyone believes him, starting with General Walters (Tom Butler), a member of the paramilitary agency GUN (United Nation’s Guardians), created to fight extraterrestrial forces like Sonic, who learns that his soldiers have not been found. scientist.

But they didn’t make the trip in vain, because by deleting Robotnik’s file from the database, they found another one, fifty years old, containing the coordinates of an ultra-secret site called. “Project Shadow”. It’s a very cryptic name, except for video game fans who will inevitably be impatient with this shot, the last one, revealing a cryostasis capsule in which a black and red hedgehog sleeps.

And it makes perfect sense that Shadow, Sonic’s double negative from 2001, will be the main antagonist of the third film in the saga, which is coming to our theaters on December 25th.
