A few days ago, we hinted at a possibility of some new features around Camp Sonic – features which would help integrate our community deeper into the greater Sonic community. The first of those features which recently launched is none other than our “User Submitted Links“.
User Submitted Links is our way of allowing everyday viewers of Camp Sonic to share their discoveries far and wide, as well as our personal way of giving back to the Sonic Community. There are A LOT of awesome sites and resources out there that go by unseen do to the fact that it can be hard to break into the Sonic Community. With User Submitted Links we’re giving new faces a way to help promote their sites – while at the same time giving readers here a constant flow of enjoyable reading material & media.
It’s very simple. Anyone can Submit a Link (URL, Title, Short Description) which will immediately go into a moderation queue. Once approved, that link will wait in line to be shared with our viewers on every page of Camp Sonic for at least 24 hours.
This provides a wonderful new way to distribute Sonic & SEGA related content from around the web, and also allows webmasters who can’t afford advertising to easily promote interesting content on their sites. There is no link-back required, no registration, heck – we don’t even ask for an email address. The only thing we do ask is that you take care to only submit High Quality content which our readers will enjoy. You know, things like:
- Sonic related articles, links, videos, music, art.
- SEGA related articles, links, videos, etc.
- Please link to the specific article rather than a homepage.
- If linking to a Forum post, please use the specific post’s permalink.
- Anything else the SONIC community may find interesting!
On a final note, I hope that you’ll all keep an eye on the user submitted links as they roll in. You can find them in the right menu, currently under the “Recently Discussed” block. We’ll try to update it with awesome content every 2 hours or so, that way there’s always something new to see!
Btw, Sonic 4 is going to have Super Sonic! link...
hmm…
now if only i was able to find some information….
I GOT ONE!
how do i do it?
Looks nice =]
@KC Cross: Just go to “Submit a Link“, and follow the instructions
omg….. i dont get this xD
Wow, news will spread faster with this.
This’ll be a nice addition to Camp Sonic, great idea David.
This could be extremely useful to spread Sonic Unleashed news, and fast. Nice addition. @David Leggett: Thanks again for the pad, its really thick. Heavy duty mousepad. Was i the only one who won the giveaway, or did other people win too?
Well, not ‘win’ but selected.
Cool!
Thats great!
I’ve managed to catch a few interesting things on the Submitted Links section before, stuff that really made want to bookmark it! So all I got to say is this is a nice addition to the Camp Sonic website! I hope you find more innovative ways to improve this place!
i dont know where to begin the information.
what its URL?
Awesome! This will be a great success and will give davo a break once in a while.
Brilliant idea those links have been there a while and I was wondering what they were.
@Nano: It stands for Uniform Resource Locator, it represents a resource available on the internet
-Wikipedia lol!
thanks for the tip
OK i did it YESSSSSSSSSS haha
@WiiFP: I GOT A PIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
@KC Cross: Nice.
@WiiFP:
@KC Cross: I NEED A NEW MOUSEPAD THOUGH
more trivia? lol
whats sonics last name????????????? hahah
@KC Cross: U . . . i dont know, what is it? Is it Hedgehog?
hey i can post the OPS2 Sonic Unlesshed scans there!
I meant ‘Uh . . .
@WiiFP: I was just thinking of a trivia question.
I don’t think he has a last name, but if I had to guess i’d say……
Prower.
(Tails flies in.) Tails: “WHAT!?!?!?!?”
Sonic: “That’s right tails. My last name is Prower.”
Tails: “We’re brothers?”
Sonic: “No.”
(The sun goes down.)
Were-Sonic (Deep Voice): “I…..am your FATHER!”
Tails: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!” haha
Trivia question: Hedgehog + ______ = 2-Tailed FOX????
. . . Wow. Quite a burts of inspiration i see. Anyway, i know he has a last name, and a middle name, im going to go find out, ill be back.
@WiiFP: Wow. Thats crazy stuff. lol
Hey I guess Dr. Robotnik’s 1st name is Ivo.
Tails real name is Miles Prower.
These characters have real names, so WDF SONIC’S LAST NAME
ima look too
BE BACK!
OK I’m BACK!
And I didn’t find anything about Sonic having a last (or a middle) name.
But I have 2 educated guesses as to what Sonic’s (AND SHADOW’S) last name WOULD be.
1) The latin word “celer” means “quick, speedy, fast.” therefore Sonic’s last name could be “Seller!”
It’s stupid so it makes sense! Sonic Seller the Hedgehog! A fast talker before he became a fast HERO! lol
2) Shadow was technically created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik, and Maria would consider Shadow part of the family, so maybe Shadow’s full name could be….Shadow ROBOTNIK the HEDGEHOG!!!
(Shadow teleports in.)
Shadow: “Ehhh….it could happen.” lol
Just a thought.
Ya, i didnt find anything either, but i found something before. But before Sonic’s name was sonic, Sega was considering ‘Mr. Needlemouse’. And Dr. Robotnik was based off of Theadore Roesevelt.
Haha. “Mr. Needlemouse Unleashed” doesnt fit.
wiifp sonic’s last name is the hegdehog
@Tyler: Are you sure? I know he has a middle name, i just cant find it.
@KC Cross: Sonic’s real name from the comics is Olgivile Maurice Hedgehog, wierd huh?
YES! Thats it, Maurice! Thanks.
Great idea, even if I won’t summit anything, I’ll be able to go to great sites with it.
yea i bet sonic has a middle name
his middle name is *we interrupt this program for no reason* duh!!
@WiiFP:
Maurice?
I think that would be his middle name and his last name would be Hedgehog if his full name Olgivile Maurice Hedgehog.
olvigile maurice thats a funny name xD it would be weird for sonic to be named like that and cool in a funny way
@Dart: Thats what i meant. I couldnt remember his middle name.
I knew about that news.
Hey guys! Has anyone checked out that Sonic Oddball Crackups link I submitted?
Ooo, fancy~
Man, sounds cool.
Yo, while the name for Sonic in the comics might work for the comics, his name in the game is just Sonic the Hedgehog. They had “The” registered has his middle name. XD
the release date is 11/18/08 this is from gamestop/ebgames there you have it campsonic p.s is this true
olgivile…..maurice….. you guys are insane!! lol
Sonic The Hedgehog….. or Olgivile Maurice Hedgehog. Which one would I choose…..
hey, Olgovile should be in one of the new games as a baddie. It is a pretty cool name in that sense
@RockerDuDe: …….is that you, spike?
http://blogs.sega.com/usa/2008/08/01/sonic-chronicles-the-dark-brotherhood-new-trailer/
New Chronicles Trailer! Not to great though… Dramatic music…
@TailstheHedgehog: Haha, ya. And Before Sonic’s name was sonic, Sega was considering Mr. Needlemouse.
“Mr. Needlemouse Unleashed”
Haha!
@WiiFP:
I’m pretty sure Sonic’s middle name is “The.”
In all those cartoons, like Hammy the Hawk… or whatever… “The” tends to be their middle name.
I’m guessing “The” is Sonic’s middle name. In the cartoon atleast… Sonic’s middle name is The, and his last name is Hedgehog.
@WiiFP: Mr Needlemouse heroes, Mr Needlmouse adventure 2, Mr Needlemouse Rush, Mr Needlemouse Rush Adventure, Mario and Mr Needlemouse at the olympic games lol
theres something seriously messed up there lol!
@Darkspines: Thanks! but the trailer isnt new. Wish they would make a better one. But it’s only DS..
Still, good of you to post it
@TailstheHedgehog: Ya, i wouldnt be able to take him serious if his name were Mr. Needlemouse. Maybe if it were Needle for short, but still. It doesnt fit.
I doubt that Sega was ever considering “Mr. Needlemouse” as final name for Sonic. As codename maybe. You see, the Japanese word for “hedgehog” is “harinezumi” which literally means “needlemouse” (hari = needle, nezumi = mouse). Nothing special to it.
@Needlemouse: Ya, its was a name at the very beginning when they were first designing Sonic. It was a codename, dubbed by Naoto Ōshima.
Very nice. I am just going to assume that this makes things more easier for us to get information. Pretty cool
personally i think olgiville maurice is a stupid name i’m glad they chose sonic also that stuff aint even true cause sonic is sonic it’s a waste of time to debate about it mr needlemouse doesnt sound that great either. but hey that’s just my opinion so no one take it to heart or anything
@Kev: Ha, pretty much agreed for that matter. I would take Sonic over Olgiville Maurice anyday.
@Kev: I’m glad they chose Sonic too. But Mr. Needlemouse was just codename.
@WiiFP: ooooooohhh alright….
Dang you guys see that BLACK KNIGHT pic on the User links?
Dang whoever found that must be AWESOME!
I sent in my own link. Don’t think that it has been processed yet.
@KC Cross: No wonder Sonic wants to use a sword…if he got impaled on the Black Knight, it would HURT.
@wee: His middle name is “The”. SEGA had it registered.
Links get moderated pretty quickly, but in an effort to give each link a fair amount of time, we post the next link in “line” every 2-3 hours.
That way, every link has at least a full day on the front page
Hey everyone guess what! I was just looking at the user submitted link, sonic x character reviews and if u go to hme page it sais season 4 may be in the making. Thats fantastic! I’m gonna go find out more!
hey i checked the link that i sent about OPS2 and it said it wasnt working but i checked sonic stadium and it’s not working either
hahahah!
Sonic the Hedgehog is a title! not a freakin last name hahah thats funny.
What about Bugs Bunny? Tweety Bird?
1. ‘Needle-mouse’ would be an accurate translation of ‘hari-nezumi’, which is the word for hedgehog. So, you basically saying Mr Hedgehog. Which proves his last name was Hedgehog in the design stages at least. Nowadays, I think he’d object to being called a ‘Mr’ because it makes him sound out. Then somebody asks him if he means ‘don’t call me Mr, that’s my father’s name’ and he goes, “I have a father!?”
2. ‘The’ is indeed registered as Sonic’s middle name. As it is for a majority of the characters. Amy and Tails escape this.
3. Nearly every anthropomorphic Sonic character’s shoes are mainly red or a warm colour (pink, purple, brown, yellow or orange). Mephiles is the only anthropomorph not to have any of these colours on his shoes.
In other news, Knuckles Facts!:
1. Knuckles is a ‘hari-mogura’ – a ‘needle-mole’, explaining why he was translated as a mole in the movie.
2. He was originally designed to be Rastafarian and they considered a Jamaican accent in the English Sonic Adventure translation.
3. It’s thought the symbol on his chest, which is actually called a ‘lace’, was a nod to Nike.
4. If you saw Knuckles in real life, huge chances are that his nose and mouth would be the same – as is the state of a real echidna. They also have dark snouts that almost resemble the straw-like ones of butterflies.
5. And Knuckles calls Rouge ‘bat-woman’ in Japan.
@Umiyuri:
Umiyuri, you are an unusually wise Sonic fan. You should stay here to atleast speak your opinion of Sonic Unleashed (under the same name) when the game comes out.
Or… atleast until the Tokyo Game Show… which i think is in September.
@Umiyuri: awesome list! jeez, imagine knuckles with a jamaican accent lol Looks like they kept an element of rastafarian in him with the quick temper and dreadlocks. Didnt rastafarians also paint themselves a reddish colour? maybe thats where his red coat comes from. Or it could just symbolise and underline his aggression and ‘dont muck with it’ attitude.
knuckles should fly and not float
and he should use a hat too…………..
one thing……..i never imagine knuckles on hyper form……
i have been worried about sonic unleashed lately…………………
its about the of the shade of the characters it seems that on wii and probably on ps2 the shade of sonic isnt developed.it doesnt has any form on sonic´s shade.this could be serious because on sonic adventure 2 battle (that was on nintendo gamecube) the shade of the characters are developed and on nintendo wii(the best console for nintendo yet……)the shade is not developed.
(if you didnt catch my advise) try and watch on you tube the shade on sonic adventure 2 battle and sonic unleashed for the «wii» and here´s the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqlcsWK7EA8 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibzBfQoPnzU
comment……..
@TailstheHedgehog: I believe that the coloring went like this:
Sonic (red+white (shoes)+blue: colours of many flags)
Eggman (red: ‘red and blue’ are considered opposities)
Tails (orange: opposite of blue) (Tails gradually got lighter and turned yellow)
Amy: (pink: girl’s colour)
Knuckles: (red: ‘red-yellow-blue’ are primary colours)
Chaotix (green+purple+yellow/orange: secondary colours)
Bark & Bean (cream+green: typical colours of polar bear and mallard)
Shadow (black+red: dark, evil colours)
Rouge (white: contrast to black)
Cream (orange+beige: name pun)
Blaze (purple+pink+white (shoes): feminine equivalent of Sonic’s colour scheme)
Silver (grey: ran out of colours)
@Umiyuri: woah! again another good list! I like your description of silver, though technically he’s silver/white, but grey because were all abit sour towards him right now. lol
who the heck are bark and bean?
@TailstheHedgehog: The pair from Sonic the Fighters. Bark and Bean now appear in the US comic book. Bark is one of those big cool guy types and Bean is psychotic (when he gets taken away, he promises Sonic that he’ll write every day).
RIGHT now i am playing the segasonic the hedgehog on mame emulator
its so cool!!!!!
@Nano: Good for you! I’m listening to some of the songs off Sonic Wrecks. The way my computer’s set up, you don’t need to download them to listen.
After a while, you realise that ‘Super Sonic Speed’ actually samples a voice clip.
http://i33.tinypic.com/11kwg2r.png HERE YOU GO!
@Umiyuri: Nice were-sonic!
I submitted this link a few seconds ago. But before it may get published, I thought I should post the link for you all to review before hand.
http://screwattack.com/node/7065
Umiyuri thats a nice were-sonic you should draw a were-chao xD
he would look so bad *** xD
@RockerDuDe: Were-Chao HAHA that would be funny
U know what would be the coolest thing though?
Were-Shadow!
OMG THAT DOESNT EVEN SOUND LIKE SONIC FRANCHISE
thats prolly an anime
A dark, shadow wolf guy.
Awesome.
@RockerDuDe: Agreed. By the way, do I know you?
omg…. i dont think so im from mexico xD so i probably don’t know anyone hahahaha xD
Yay my Sonic The Comic Online link finally got put up. XD
@Umiyuri: Have I ever mentioned that I love your mind? OwO

Man, whoever sent in the link for STC Online, know that you are my hero. ^_^
Hehe, that’s coolio dude. I figured they’d be some other STC fans here!
Plus we need to convert some more american Sonic fans over to being STC fans, other than just Archie ones. :-p
when am i going to be able to see wii pics of sonic unleashed?
im really worried :s
I dont know how to submit a link soooo
here:
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/sonicunleashed/media.html?mode=gameplay
gameplay vids!! Same ones from the live demo. But without them talking.
@RockerDuDe: Still No idea.
@RockerDuDe:you can see on youtube the wii pics of sonic unleashed here´s the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibzBfQoPnzU
sega should make a really 2d sonic game.
Hey folks, got a few updates in the tube (some user contributions, such as new wallpapers), but works been a beast these past few days. Just letting you know that we’re still watching for Sonic Unleashed updates, there simply are none. Keep submitting those links! They’re a great way to see what’s going on in the rest of the Sonic Universe!
Whoever submitted that “Sonic Names” link
That site forgot “Marine The Raccoon”
(From Sonic Rush Adventure DS)
my FAV CHARACTER haha
BLIMEY!
Yeah, she wanted to be a marine, so i guess her names Marine cuz of that fact.
or sumthing.
I submitted a link with new gameplay vids, didn’t you see
Heres the link.
For comment peoplepersons.
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/sonicunleashed/media.html?mode=gameplay
@WOWZ: Yeah the only difference from the E3 is that u can hear the voices
3 things about that
1) Were-Sonic has the same voice as regular Sonic when he jumps at the end
(he has control of himself the whole time??????????????)
2) The Sonic voice is copied from Sonic 360
(SEGA gettin LAZY? lol)
3) The music for the 1st movie sounds familiar to me
(REMAKE??????????)
Comments?
@KC Cross: They did forget quite a few names and get some reasons wrong. There’s also a few things that they miss out.
Sonic: ’sonus’ is the Latin word for sound, while ’sonic’ is the derivitive and means ‘relating to sound’ in English. Sonic the Hedgehog travels at the speed of sound, which is somewhere around 1220kmph. The term could also refer to him being loud when he breaks the sound barrier, or his loud personality, heh, heh.
Amy: Amy’s name most likely refers to her and Sonic’s ‘romance’ the manga she originally appeared in rather then her love from her fans. A rose is a sweet flower related to romance – ‘a loved rose’?
Shadow: His name is more likely to mean how he isn’t totally evil.
Vector: the actual reason given by SEGA is that Vector was named because he was able to ‘air-dash’ in all eight directions.
Charmy: ‘charm’ is the power to attract and delight people, much like a flower.
Cream and co.: Cream cheese is a popular desert topping, and vanilla extract and chocolate are substances often used as flavours.
Iblis: Iblis is the ancient devil in Arabian mythology. It makes sense, then, why Erazor Djinn would call Iblis’ name while summoning that games Ifrit (fire genie).
Maria: The name ‘Maria’ means ‘beautiful flower’ in Spanish and ‘loved by God’ in Italian. It is another form of Mary, who was the mother of Jesus Christ.
Robotnik: ‘robotnik’ is Russian for worker or slave. It was most likely picked because Eggman made robot slaves, and because the US has a strong hatred of communism, in the best, most stable cases of which the workers rule the country.
Elise: French for ‘Oath of God’.
Pachacamac: Pachacamac is a temple in Peru, named for the god Pacha Kamaq of the people who lived in Peru before the Inca came.
Omochao: ‘omocha’ is Japanese for ‘toy’.
Terios: Shadow’s file name on the Sonic Adventure 2 disk. ‘Teriosu’ is Japanese for ‘double’ or ‘duplicate’ and the term was probably used to refer to him during production.
Venice: Silver’s production name – it refers to the city that Sonic 2006 is based in.
Jet, Wave and Storm: A terribly blustery day, a giant wave of water(a tsunami) and a thunderstorm – are all visions of poor weather.
Marine: Probably from her owning of a boat and love of the water, and also to act as a counterpart to ‘Blaze’ (fire and water).
it’s funny when sonic dyes at the end of the first video and says “YEAH!”
It kind of reminds me of sonic adventure dx.
@Umiyuri: O yea opposite of blaze
THAT MAKES SENSE lol
@Chosenoneknuckles: I like both Archie and Sonic the Comic. PORKER LEWIS CAN’T LOSE~
@Umiyuri: Ah, so cool. XD What about Eggman’s name…either his similarity to an Egg or a Beatles reference. XD
@Chosenoneknuckles: I like both Archie and Sonic the Comic. PORKER LEWIS CAN’T LOSE~
Good to hear. ^-^
DAMN THAT JOHNNY LIGHTFOOT, WHY’D YOU HAVE TO GO AND DIE?!
@iNAUDiBLE: They say that the ‘Eggman’ name was a big problem in Western countries because of ‘I Am The Walrus’, which is why it changed to Dr Robotnik in most European and American countries. In Italy, it became Dr Zachary… which, oddly, is the name of a StC character.
@Chosenoneknuckles: Johnny died because nobody at Fleetway liked him any more. Johnny was dull, he’d always been dull and that was why he had to die, to paraphrase.
@Chosenoneknuckles: Johnny was awesome. Heh, I like Archie and all, but I have to give Fleetway props for being a bit more related to the games.
@Umiyuri: I sure do hope that you know that they were being sarcastic about that Johnny statement.
Sounds like something they’d say about Tommy Turtle!
Dirty humes, always trying to keep him down!
You mean they actually got into trouble with copyright peeps due to that? Ah man. XD
@iNAUDiBLE: I was quoting Kitching, I think. I don’t know if he was being sarcastic or not, but he said it to the rest of the guys and it did result in killing him off.
From what I hear of Tommy Turtle, he’s supposed to be ‘that long lost friend everybody knew but just wasn’t brought up before’… LET’S KILL ‘IM! Fluffy?
“Rrrrrready!”
It just hit me. Fluffy the Werehog as Scooby Doo. He gets Sonic Snacks (AKA chilidogs).
@Umiyuri: Eh, it could go either way.
Yeah, I don’t even know what issue he first appeared in or if he had any crucial role…I think he was part of a gag comic in the first Sonic the Hedgehog issues…had a rocket powered skateboard. XD
AHAH~ Amy as Daphne, Tails as Velma, Vector as Fred, and Big as Shaggy!
*bursts out laughing*
AND EGGMAN WOULD’VE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT TOO IF IT WEREN’T FOR THOSE MEDDLING KIDS AND THEIR WEREHOG.
The sonic names link isnt very good find a better one please.
*trying not to sound insulting*
I am baaaaaack!
lucky I did’t miss anything.:P
I once dreamed on vacation that I was home and wanted to check here,but then I woke up in my tent..
Weird.
Just submitted some tiny strands of info [and possible art] about a possible new Unleashed character being revealed in its manga.
@dragonite: very much so.
Lucky your hols happened while the gaming universe went to sleep lol but theres always new stuff if you look hard enough.
I just go to the user submitted links! I’ll say it again, brilliant idea!
@Chosenoneknuckles: That sounds promising.
Which link is it?
@Chosenoneknuckles: That sounds promising.
Which link is it?
It’s not up yet.
ok I’l look again either when i get back from school or 2morrow.
see ya
@Chosenoneknuckles: What do you mean by “revealed in its manga”? What manga? What is the character’s name?
Dengaki DS it’s on tssznews.com and did anyone see the sonic unleashed boss footage i posted it’s kinda blurry but waddaya think?
@Kev: i Wanna see some Were-Sonic Boss footage
cant freaking wait for this game!
@Chosenoneknuckles:
Was the new character you were talking about on the tssz news site. I just looked at a confirmed character on tssz news called Tip or Chip.
Did it look like a little dog??
IDK it really looks like a little dog xD but its cool in a funny way hahahaha……
Hey admin, just letting you know a couple of days ago I saw Sonic Unleashed in the Xbox Live Marketplace, you can download the HD Trailer!
@Sonic Rider: I’m on the XBOX 360 site right now
I dont see Sonic Unleashed Trailer…………..
@KC Cross: I just double checked its there on the marketplace, i doubt the site.
So if i go on XBOX 360

(this is news from sonic unleashed)here are links:

http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=206429
oopps it is sonic (not camp sonic)
intresting,,,
funny that sonic began to have trouble when then started the whole ”roots” thing with heroes.
That game was decent and fun ,but lacked flow.
@Nano: I guess that’s a good sign.
By the way, since we’re well over E3 now, are there any big events before November?
@Jerbba:i dont know but what i heard is that sega is going to make more demos of sonic unleashed until the game is out.
Ayaaah, T. Ohtani’s MySpace?? I love it when the people who work on the games are crazy enough about them that they stick pictures of the characters all over their page…
Hey, HES CRAZY LIKE DAT!
SHOUT OUT TO TOHTANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(t. ohtani)
Hmm since it didn’t seem to get accepted by the CampSonic User Links panel, now then I’ll post it here:
Are you a fan of good Sonic fangames?
Well here’s one that’s shaping up a treat!
SONIC NEXUS
http://nexus. hrook. net/
Check out the creator’s site, read his development blog, download the current game demo and comment.
You’ll be glad you did.
