One thing I wondered is: how does Sonic managed to get so many active communities? Compared to Mario, there are numerous Sonic forums that are considered active, such as Sonic Stadium and Sonic Retro. There are even Sonic events held, such as Summer of Sonic.
Note that this had happened before the Sonic Twitter, in case you want to bring up the Twitter account.
Thanks for reading.
The simple answer is Sonic is still very popular and the fanbase is huge. Now it's certainly a fanbase that often is hypocritical, and fights within itself. But whether anybody is a fan of Sonic because of the classic games, the adventure games, the modern games, the comics, the cartoons, etc. they all are fans of a blue hedgehog with super speed that fights robots, where even if what they like about Sonic may entirely be the opposite of what another Sonic fan likes about Sonic. There's no denying that even with whatever differences there tends to be, Sonic fans all tend to have that passion for the franchise that's hard to find an equal.
