Since Silver does turn up again in later games, he obviously hasn't been erased from time but what his origin story is now, after the events of 06, is never addressed. Silver's fate becomes confusing here, because his entire timeline is now apparently prevented from ever happening. Along with his friend Blaze the Cat, Silver is engaged in a never-ending battle against the immortal fire demon, striking Iblis down whenever it manifests to try and at least limit the damage it causes.Īt the end of Sonic '06, Solaris is defeated and an in-universe temporal paradox occurs when Princess Elise extinguishes the Flame of Hope, thereby averting the Day of Disaster. In Sonic '06, Silver lives in a time at least 200 years ahead of Sonic's, where the world has been utterly decimated by Iblis, one of the component consciousnesses of Solaris. Silver's monologue in his Sonic '06 opening cutscene How did this happen? No-one will answer me directly. Life is a struggle, and people live without hope. A harsh, bleak place where we live in eternal darkness. This world was devastated before I was born. It's speculated that this game was the cancelled Fifth Phantom Saga, in which you would have been able to control a character with psychokinetic abilities similar to Silver's. In an interview that was included with Sega Mega Drive Collection, Nakamura mentioned that Silver's psychokinetic abilities were originally intended to be used in another action game Sonic Team was developing. At the end of Silver's English profile, it says " (The below is all temporary) Essentially, think Trunks from Dragon Ball Z." In SEGA's Sonic '06 game script spreadsheet file, there are character profiles written in corresponding English and Japanese that talk of their personalities and some of their origins. Sonic Team member Shun Nakamura has stated in an interview on Sonic Channel that the similarities are very much intentional, especially in terms of Silver's name, so as to ensure that any games entitled Sonic, Shadow, or Silver would end up next to each other on game store shelves. Silver shares his height, weight, species, initials, gender, and Super State fur and eye color with Sonic and Shadow. The character went through over fifty potential designs, including being named "Venice" (after the Venice-like environs of Soleanna Castle Town) and as a mink rather than a hedgehog, before Silver's final look was settled upon. Silver's design, and specifically his psychokinetic abilities, were planned as a means of showcasing the capabilities of the powerful new physics engine being implemented in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
