Sticks jumps into the modern Sonic world in Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Thanks to the eagle eyes of Katie Britt on twitter and SuperSonic772 in our comments section, it has been found in a new trailer for the game (seen at the 0:48 mark) that Sticks is now welcomed into the modern world, now would this be “canon” as they’re technically in the real world(?) olympics is up for debate. 😛 But this marks her debut outside the Boom spin-off series! it’s not official if she is indeed playable or not, we’ll do a follow-up when we find out. HUGE thanks to both Katie Britt and SuperSonic772 for the find!

See the trailer below (it’s mostly just recycled footage from the debut trailer, with the bit with Sticks and a boxing match between Mario and Bowser at the end) below:

Could be that Sticks stuck around to compete after worlds unite. XD

Literally nothing was special about that trailer except for this little.. not so obvious snippet. Still, holy shit, what? Sticks?! How is she here? And.. gosh, is she playable?

    Dude, brah.

    I imagine that they are still trying to promote Sonic Boom…

      I mean, if it’s going to run alongside Modern Sonic like they say, I can imagine why, but holy shit.. Sticks is literally invading Modern Sonic. XD Not sure how I feel on that.

        Well, so are Mario and Yoshi by that logic.

          I wouldn’t say so. Mario & Yoshi have always originated from the same universe… I mean heck, Mario’s first adventure was with Yoshi in a game made as a prequel to the entire franchise. Donkey Kong and Wario also share the same universe, even though they, like Yoshi, have become their own things. However, with Sticks, she’s always been part of the Sonic Boom universe, which is supposed to be truly separate from the Modern Sonic universe. I’m cool with her being here, I truly am, but I’m wondering why and how.

          TheBlackHoodedGamer

          Obviously, this is indeed a spin-off where Mario & Sonic go to the real world to earn gold medals, so canon’s kind of out the door here (with Mario, it’s usually that way), but I am indeed interested in this concept and if it means they plan to integrate Sticks in the main universe.

          Mad Convoy

          That would be interesting to see if Sticks will get integrated. I doubt it immensely but the prospect intrigues me quite a bit.

Somehow I don’t feel all that surprised after seeing her in the Worlds Unite crossover comics previews, hope she is the only thing that came from Boom though.

is Amy Rose still going to be a playable character?

Is amy Rose still going to be a playable character because she had been in the past games so I figured she probably is but with the new characters I’m not shure

    Raw

    I was thinking the same about Blaze, but I don’t think that will be the case, especially talking about Amy and Blaze since there are very few female characters.

I like Sticks so this makes me happy to see

Apparently Sticks is arbiter of the multiverse now. Expect a Smash Bros. trophy to come soon.

Oh yeah Sticks is in Mario & Sonic At the Ryo 2016 Olympic Games for the first time in Mario & Sonic series games today!

Just so long as other Boom characters (like the counterparts) don’t start crossing over, I won’t be too miffed. But they just can’t let go of Sticks, as opposed to bring back Mighty, Ray, Fang, Tiara, Honey, Bark, Bean, Metal Knuckles, Lumina, Void, Emerl, or Gemerl. Sonic needs a new producer, someone who doesn’t think like Iizuka, but a little more like Flynn (since he’s the only one utilizing older characters anymore).

If this were a fighting game, I’d pound the shit out of any Boom character, like SSB fans do against Duck Hunt.

    Keep in mind that all of the characters you’ve mentioned, Sticks included, are popular, but those older characters you mention aren’t relevant to the franchise anymore due to not appearing in any recent games. Meanwhile Sticks is a main character in a still-running show in a still-running sub-franchise, making her very relevant to Sonic right now. So she kind of takes precedent.

      But’s she’s not from an actual Sonic game. They could’ve easily used Marine to replace her.

      Also, now would be a good time for them to be relevant again.

        Although Marine and Sticks look similar, personality-wise they’re a lot different. From what I can tell, Marine is a cheerful pirate raccoon with water powers while Sticks is a crazy jungle badger with a cool boomerang. They’re not quite as interchangeable as people tend to make them out to be.

        Where? What would Sonic Team and I suppose in this case Nintendo do with them? Half of the characters you listed are dead or otherwise in a position where they cannot be involved in another Sonic story without some serious explanation. The other half didn’t even have personalities until Flynn came along. I like these guys, but I think its best that we leave them be. Especially if P&G are going to continue writing for Sonic games, since they have an uncanny habit of flanderizing characters.

          They’re both cheerful with weird cockny accents. Oh, and we don’t need P & G.

          But still, the best game I can think of for ALL of these characters is Sonic Marvel vs Capcom 2 (under a different name).

          TheHumbleFellow

          Um.Marine is Australian.And Sticks doesn’t sound cockney in the slightest.And while Marine is cheerful, Sticks is more crazy and paranoid.

          Man, you really don’t know much about Boom, do you?

          Mad Convoy

          While Sticks certainly is capable of getting excited, she’s given moments of excitement less to show how cheerful she is and more to prevent her paranoia from dominating her whole personality by showing that she is capable of trusting people/things. And neither Marine nor Sticks have Cockney accents. Marine sounds Australian and Sticks doesn’t have much of an accent at all.

          I would like a Sonic vs Capcom type of thing though.

          I really wish you’d at least research Boom before bashing it… Every time so far you’ve come at with complete bull about it… Not once has Sticks ever been the cheerful character (that role goes to Amy alongside her obsessive-compulsiveness and control freak… ness?) or cockney. I have absolutely no idea where you even got that description from…

          kamifox1

          come out*

Sonic fans should really chill on the whole “canon” thing and take every entry for what it is.

“Okay, nothing seems to be working, so let’s try to popularize this franchise by putting Sticks in an Olympics game!”
“BRILLIANT! Next, we should put her in a mainstream game!”
“Dude, our show is gonna take off like a bitch…”

    On the other hand, I’m guessing Rosalina will be added to compensate for the extra Sonic character. That’ll be cool.
