This version of Shadow is Sonic's future selfIt may seem out of place, but still possible.

The downside of this is that whenever a legitimately malicious and threatening force arises, most people are totally unprepared to confront it.


It's to the point that being an "evil villain" is a legitimate and semi-respectable occupation. It adds some excitement to their lives, and the nominal damage that results can be quickly and easily repaired. Eggman and Dave more as entertainment than anything else. The village's citizens look upon the antics of the like of Dr. Because there's no incentive for conflict, actual wars rarely, if ever, break out. More positively, the world in the Sonic Boom cartoon is actually a utopian but slightly sleepy post-scarcity society in which advanced technology has enabled everybody to live in a pollution-free paradise without deprivation or strife.The characters will remain trapped in this endless cycle of "lounge around bored, Eggman shows up, defeat Eggman, lounge around bored" until either Eggman wins or he gives up / dies / Lyric or Dave or someone takes over the world instead. However, the downside of this supervillainy is that Eggman has no friends (as touched on in Cowbot) and Dave is some nobody working a minimum wage job. Eggman and Dave, meanwhile, want to burn the world down and rebuild it in their image. Sonic seems okay with lounging around eating chili dogs all day, but he's also adopted a Deadpan Snarker attitude that implies he's somewhat bitter towards his lot in life. Tails is an engineer, focusing on learning and building. Amy is the most proactive, trying to better the world (acting as Team Mom, knitting sweaters for penguins, etc.). The self-aware people respond to the limbo in different ways. All other inhabitants of the island seen so far seem to be insane, stupid, and/or jerks who are blissfully happy with their idle existence. Sonic, Tails, Amy, and possibly Eggman and Dave are the only ones self-aware and intelligent enough to realize this. Life in the Sonic Boom world is meaningless.Sonic Boom takes place in some horrible limbo world where everyone's lives are meaningless and inane.

After you beat Lyric as the final boss you will end up destroying Eggman's plan while he cuts his losses and escapes in his Eggmobile, setting up the TV series.

It will also make Eggman seem much more credible as a villain after him finally controlling a powerful creature without it turning on him albeit still needing to keep manual control (Time Eater) it makes sense for him to go on to controlling Lyric without even having to take direct control of him. This would serve as both a good way to have Eggman retain his position as main villain and also keep Lyric in the story. It is possible that at the end of the game Eggman will find out a way to subjugate Lyric like he did the Deadly Six except without having him lose control, essentially making Lyric his slave. Lyric will be the final boss, but he will not be the Big Bad.It seems strange that once again Eggman is being usurped as Big Bad by Lyric, especially after Generations and Lost World have been rebuilding his credibility as a leading villain only to have him be pushed out of the spotlight again.
