Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia: 30 Years of Sonic the Hedgehog

Product Information

Smug Super: Infinite has a bigger ego than Sonic and Shadow combined, and has all the power to justify it now. He was a relatively weak Miles Gloriosus originally.

Infinite: ( To the Avatar) I can taste your terror, child. All that anxiety and doubt... it's delicious. ( Fires an energy blast in front of the Avatar, intentionally missing just to startle them) Give in to your fear. Flee, screaming, and I'll let you live. ( Evil Laugh) Infinite: It's his name. Duh. Fittingly enough, Hoobastank sings the main theme of Sonic Forces, and their name is often stylized as h∞bastank, also containing an Infinite symbol. He also has the infinity symbol decorated on the soles of his boots. The screenshot used to illustrate the Dream Fencing event from Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games instead uses a screenshot of the same event from Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.In Mystic Jungle, Silver tries to hold his own against Infinite. Key word is tries. It ended as well as you'd expect, and Silver would've been killed had Sonic not stepped in. Mineral MacGuffin: He has some relation to the mysterious purple gemstone that is referred to as the "Phantom Ruby" by an in-game guide that everyone was after in Sonic Mania, implied by the sound it makes. The game reveals that the Ruby was given to him by Eggman. While the other Zones featured in this section shows at least one screenshot from each Act, Lava Reef Zone only displays two screenshots both from Lava Reef Zone Act 1. No images from Lava Reef Zone Act 2 are displayed.

Boss Remix: An instrumental version of his theme song plays during the first two boss fights with him. Too Important to Walk: Highlighting his Smug Super nature, Infinite is never seen walking and prefers to just fly around as a demonstration of his power.Space Master: While the Phantom Ruby's powers are mostly centered around illusions and virtual reality, it does give Infinite some degree of spatial manipulation, mostly centered on controlling gravity. In Central City, Infinite uses the Phantom Ruby to screw with the gravity and he's also capable of creating Null Space, a seemingly inescapable void in space-time where nothing exists. Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Eggman's red. Best shown in their reaction to Sonic and the Avatar escaping the Phantom Ruby's Null Space. While Eggman is naturally having a Freak Out, Infinite merely responds with an unamused scoff. Ironically, Eggman is more of a Crazy-Prepared No-Nonsense Nemesis (Blue), while Infinite is a Stupid Evil Sadist (Red). Reality Warper: Of a sort. Infinite can't control conventional reality per sé, but he possesses absolute control of reality for anything caught in the Phantom Ruby's field of effect, casting a world of illusion that becomes tangible reality for all afflicted. This can have varied results ranging anywhere from confusing the senses, losing sense of time, altering the terrain, or dropping a star from the sky.

The book states " You'll need to either navigate a maze and battle Fang before the time runs out or collect eighty Rings with the Tornado within a strict time limit." In the actual game, however, the player battles Fang after completing either variation of the Special Stage, not only the maze one. Parody Sue: Has many traits of one of the "Villain Sue" variety. He's portrayed as faster than Sonic, able to curbstomp some of the strongest heroes in the series, forms a Legion of Doom of some of its strongest villains subservient to him, and spends every other sentence bragging about how powerful he is... because his one true, definitive power is the ability to make Your Mind Makes It Real illusions that make himself appear all-powerful. In actuality, he's nothing more than a sadistic bully with more power than he has any right to, and once ways around his power are found, he's not nearly as invincible and perfect as he thinks he is.Most of the encyclopedia is about the games, with lists of various monsters and where to find them. A picture is shown of each stage & basic monsters - but not much else. I would've liked to see a few larger screenshots from the games. Bosses & interesting scenery are mentioned often, but the picture of them is so tiny it's difficult to make out details. Und damit meine ich nicht Sonic Free Riders. Das Spiel fehlt nämlich auch, obwohl das Buch damit wirbt, ALLE Spiele der letzten 30 Jahre zu beinhalten. Was ich wirklich vermisse, ist jedoch etwas anderes. Feet of Clay: Infinite presents himself as an extremely deadly, nigh unbeatable monster no one stands a chance against... but he's actually a psychopathic bully who's power is literally all illusions. On top of this, he proves to be extremely incompetent, due to putting his sadism over actually being effective.

BumbleKast for March 23rd, 2022 - Standard Q&A Podcast with Ian Flynn. YouTube. BumbleKing Videos (23 March 2022). Retrieved on 23 March 2022. Infinite's character bears one perhaps even more noteworthy than the rare possibility of a second Phantom Ruby nullifying his powers: namely, his hopeless addiction to sadism. Infinite isn't interested in pragmatism; his personal agenda is domination, to relish in the fear, suffering, and subjugation of others as much as possible, constantly playing it off as it "not being worth the time" to finish off the enemy. Even after Eggman calls him out on letting Sonic live when he had him cornered, the one person who could absolutely ruin everything, Infinite tries to rationalize it away. Even beyond that, Infinite failed to recognize what he'd inadvertently created when he subjected the Avatar to the same experience that led to him becoming so powerful. Eviler than Thou: Asserts that he sees himself as this compared to Eggman. Eggman later reveals he had no intention of Infinite being his end goal and already had a replacement prepared from square one in the form of his final mecha. When Infinite fails one time too many, Eggman disposes of him and takes his place without a second thought. Jerkass: Exaggerated. Infinite spends nearly every second of his screentime behaving like a smug, sadistic bully that earns the ire of everyone from the Resistance, to the player, to even Eggman himself.

Mirror Character: Presumably the reason he loves tormenting the Avatar: He lost his squad and was called weak by a much more powerful opponent. It reminded Infinite of himself that day when he takes out the Avatar's squad and calls them "weak". Except now Infinite's the big dog who belittles his opponents, much like Shadow. Cyborg: The heroes believe he was built by Eggman, but in actuality he seems to be this. If nothing else, he has Eggman's perfected artificial Phantom Ruby embedded in his chest and some sort of upgrades that increased his physical abilities. It is erroneously stated that Emerl was found by Tails, while in Sonic Battle, Emerl is found by Sonic and brought to Tails.
