Okay, one spare hint: no NiGHTS in the first four. I'm working on some NiGHTS riddles, but it'll be a bit. Stupid school.

Hopefully, there'll be more soon.

Feel free to guess. I'll pm you if you're right.

Rule: Quote the riddle you're solving.
If I want more rules, I'll tell you.

1:
A short sentinel of this holey place
A bloody beam from my eggshell exterior
Attack the intruder, destroy her defiance
If I fall, I wonder "Why?"
-What am I? Hint: Video Games

2:
I'm quaint and quiet, unlike my big brother
A good friend, filled with fresh ideas
I look like a freak, but I won't lie
I'm a fast flier, though you wouldn't expect it
-Who am I? Hint: Video Games

3:
I fly far and soar in the sky
But I fall fast and lie in bed
I have several hard siblings with similar names
From timeless trees to unseeing eyes
We don't desert our monstrous mother
I help the sinning sailor on his second quest
-What am I? Hint: Thing

4: I've been watching and waiting for almost 3-score years
My mind is fragmented, my body has fallen
Through pictures and paint, music and movies,
And an endless mine, my memories return
-Who am I? Hint: Video Games

lady_spritzy. or look for Claire Zeffro, since lady_spritzy seems to jack up on me from time to time.
also, my times kinda limited. hazza.

No new characters. All the people as of SA2 was enough. Actually, it was plenty more than enough. Seeing Gamma again would be awesome, but not that (for want of a less-butchered, but still appropriate term) faker that they had in Sonic Battle for GBA. The actual Gamma. He was awesome, and is my favorite Sonic character. And more with Tikal/Chaos. If he's the god of the Chao, how come you never see him around, even when you've got Cream and Cheese? They both just kinda vanished after Sonic Adventure, with a tiny cameo in SA2: Battle.
So, I'd say, keep Sonic, Robotnik, Tails, Knux, Cream/Cheese, Tikal/Chaos, Shadow, Rouge, and prolly bring Gamma back. At the most. Maybe not even Cream and Cheese, but unfortunately, they've gone too far with Shadow to get rid of him with anything less than a horrifying death. And Rouge just goes with him. Dunno how to get rid of her. Maybe her work takes her away from the rest?
