Advent Hill Zone - ACT 22!

Happy belated Winter Solstice! There's only THREE BOXES LEFT in our holiday journey through the Advent Hill Zone, so let's relish each one!

Day 22! Christmas is right around the corner...

That's a first: A dupe of the same accessory two days in a row. However, since said accessory was a Chaos Emerald and this adds yet another color to our set (green,) I'm certainly not complaining!

Star Post #1: General Info 

Same as yesterday. Check out Act 12 if you're curious about the Emeralds.

Star Post #2: Trivia

Sonic Underground featured two different Chaos Emeralds, though their characteristics are much more similar to that of the Master Emerald than the traditional seven-gem set. In addition to both Emeralds being green-colored and larger in size, the main thing they're used for in the show is keeping large masses afloat. (Namely Knuckles' Island and Robotnik's Fortress of Altitude.) However, shattering one of THESE Emeralds into pieces has FAR more drastic consequences than the Master Emerald in the games, as Robotnik's cronies, Sleet and Dingo, found out firsthand. The broken gem unleashed its raw, chaotic energies upon Mobius, forcing the two to try to contain the shards within Dingo's body. (He has a whole shape-shifting thing. It's weird.) This caused the stooge to undergo a monstrous mutation, forcing Sonic's crew and Robotnik to work together to stop him. They were eventually able to extract the shards and contain them in a special canister, ending the threat and demutating Dingo. The Emeralds only showed up in episodes involving Knuckles (those being "Friend or Foe?," "Flying Fortress," "No Hedgehog is an Island," and "New Echidna in Town") so they were never a HUGE part of the show. It WAS the first animated appearance of Knuckles' whole island guardian situation, though, so it's an interesting piece of history nonetheless.

Goal Plate: Closing Thoughts 

Basically repeating what I said yesterday, but I can NEVER have enough Emeralds for my Sonic figures.

That's a wrap for Day 22! Just TWO MORE to go, so don't miss a second of the remaining action in the Advent Hill Zone!
