Sonic Chronology:
Brave
New World
(Sonic 51 – 71 &
Knuckles 1-28)
3236, continued:
*Victory!
Sonic Super Special 4: “Down and Out in
Downunda” & Sonic 51: “Reality Bytes”
The Freedom
Fighters give Sonic a medal for his bravery, not knowing that
Robo-Robotnik sent it. They then join the victory celebration. Bunnie
and Antoine tell of how they escaped the Downunda Prison Camp, and a
postcard arrives from the Downunda Freedom Fighters telling of their
defeat of Crocbot.
That
night, the medal gives Sonic a nightmare of Robotnik returning and
roboticizing everyone, but Uncle Chuck is able to deactivate the
medal before it can kill Sonic.
--The night of 50/SS6.
*Sonic 52:
“The Discovery Zone”
-- The day after Sonic 51.
“First
Contact” --The same day as “Discovery Zone”.
*The Dark Legion
Knuckles 1: “The
Dark Legion: Army of Darkness”
Knuckles 2:
“The Dark Legion: Sins of the Father”
Knuckles 3: “The Dark Legion: Blood is Thicker”
--Between
Endgame and Knuckles 4. Takes place in about a day, so it could
conceivably be the same day as Sonic 52.
*Sonic Super
Special 2: “Brave New World”
--Super Special 2. The day
after Sonic 52.
*Lost Paradise
Knuckles 4: “Lost Paradise: The Phantom City”
Knuckles 5: “Lost Paradise: Fallout”
Knuckles 6: “Lost Paradise: Zero Hour... And Counting”
--
Prior to Sonic 53
*Sonic 53:
“Unfinished Business”
--Shortly after “Lost Paradise” and “Brave New World”
“Sounds of Silence”
*Dark
Vengeance
Sonic 54:
“Running To Stand Still / The Devil's Gulag!!” & Knuckles 7:
“Dark Vengeance: Deadly Homecoming”
(simultaneous)
Knuckles 8: “Dark Vengeance: The
Gauntlet” & Sonic 55: “Monkey Madness” (simultaneous)

9: “Dark Vengeance: Twilight of the
Titans”
Sonic 56: “Immortality is
Forever... Life is Finite!”
Sonic Super
Special 4: “The Return of the King”
*Super Special 5:
“Total Re-Genesis”
-- Occurs some time between Sonic 51 and 57. I have chosen the
latest possible period of free time.
“Stop... Sonic Time!” (bookends)
--I
assume the bookends took place around the same time as the “present”
seen in “Re-Genesis”
*Super
Special 7: “Parallel Paradigm” &
Sonic 57: “The History Device”
SS7 takes place first, but
its' epilogue takes place after Sonic 57.
* Antoine meets up with his
old flame, Tatiana, but choses Bunnie over her.
-- Sonic 137:
“One Part Ooh-La-La, Two Parts Treachery” - main flashback. The
art in the story is full of anachronisms, and the outer framing
device has questionable continuity... However, the story does seem to
be the only explanation for Antoine's
comment (referring to a woman by the phrase
that became the title of this story) in “Parallel Paradigm”. As
Bunnie learns the explanation for the comment in main flashback, that
main flashback must be after “Parallel
Paradigm”, despite the fact that the outer framing refers
to the main flashback as being “right after” the defeat of
Robotnik.
