How we as fans intrepret what is considered to be canon or non canon in any series be it Mega Man or Mario? Granted, I am not an expert who follows the series to the letter or even have access to guidebooks but I still wonder how you can find what goes in a story or what is true in the story? I am not an expert on the Mega man/Rockman Universe like Vixy, Zan, Hypershell or any other I haven't mentioned but how to you guys find or track what is "true" in the Mega M<an or any universe and what is not?

If it's online, it's not canon!  XD

I'd shove everthing I know about the Sonic, Megaman, and Mario series into a cannon and blast them into the moon. shows my knowlige. someone asked me all these Sonicverse questions and..

Remember, the magical energies of the master emerald (mana: the energy found and referenced in all games) keep the island afloat, and of course, you know that peice of the island that's cone shaped made entirely of rock? below the basic zones? that's the underground, and rock can sustain lava for a period of time.

The buckles in Sonic's shoes are really bronzed buckles to keep the straps from being loose too~

The guy got a headshot full of answers for that.  8U

So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

What the?

Anyways, basically, whatever the game makers say is canon, is canon. For example, Snake's Revenge was so horrible, it is no longer Metal Gear canon. They struck it out, so it is a non-canon game.

There are also things that aren't canon, but aren't non-canon either. An example is the Cataclysm theory. Things like that fall under the category of "So Stupid If You Mention It Again I Will Punch You In The Face", or STFU for short.

OH [parasitic bomb] IM USING LINK AND I ACCIDENTALLY FINAL SMASHED A CUCCO OH GOD HELP
Just enjoy yourself, don't complain about everything

Snake's Revenge wasn't made by Kojima's team. that's why it isn't canon.

where were you when Inafune flat out said the Cataclysm is false?


What happens in Vegas stays on Youtube. I also stream on Twitch from time to time.

I'm so lenient, I say you can consider any stories that don't contradict each other too harshly to be part of some "canon", and in the end, who cares what the authors originally wanted?

The fans and the author, perhaps? <_<

Yeah, but people forget things and change their minds, so, whatever.
