Was Looking Over The Soleanna Map Vs The Sonadow Gens Map, And I Found Something Interesting.

Was looking over the Soleanna map vs the Sonadow Gens map, and i found something interesting.

For reference, the bottom of the Soleanna map is where the castle/church is, and the bottom of the Sonadow Gens map is where Maria and Gerald are. Those are the same areas, and i believe Maria and Gerald being where the castle is, and where Elise and the Duke lived, are significant due to the similarities between Shadow and Mephiles.

For context, Shadow = Mephiles, Maria = Elise, Gerald = The Duke, The Biolizard = Iblis, and if you wanna take it a step further, Black Doom = Dark Gaia. Also take into account the fact that Mephiles and Shadow were both created in labs. Everyone up to speed now? Can you see why Gerald and Maria's placement at the castle on the Soleanna map is important? Good.

Okay here's where the interesting part i mentioned before takes center stage. If you take Shadow, and have him stand at relatively the same points on the map as Sonic in 06, the landscape tends to line up almost perfectly every time, at least at the south side (I'm gonna be playing Sonic 06 today just to access the rest of the map to see if my theory is correct, but the south side is all i have for now.)

In 06, the left gate leading outside and the alcove leading to Wave Ocean. On the Sonadow Gens side, the underground gate leading to Mephiles, and the well also leading to Mephiles (the tiny lil black bar aaaaaaall the way on the right). The shape of the landscape in Sonadow Gens matches up pretty well with the building and cliffs in the same area in 06. The architecture of the ground also matches up pretty damn well in both. And the box on the side matches up with the fountain in Sonadow Gens.

The tower, the flame basin, and the castle/church (hidden by the walkway and the minimap) in 06 match up with the tower, the tall unknown building, and the castle/cathedral where Neo Overlord's boss gate is in Sonadow Gens.

The walkway, arched gates on the far end of the map, and the octagonal structure in 06, match the walkway going up to the cstle ruins, the ornate wall at the far edge, and the box shown in the first set of screenshots in Sonadow Gens.

The octagonal structure, the building with the red rooftop, and the tower in the back in 06, match up with the octagonal piller, the shape pf the wall at the far edge of the map, and the pieces of a tower in the background in Sonadow Gens.

This is all while standing in relatively the same places in both games. I highly encourage you guys to try this if you have both games at your disposal.

The structures and landmarks in Sonadow Gens seem to be broken up and separated into multiple places at the same time, and while not completely obvious that these are the same map, it becomes much more clear when you stand in roughly the same places in both maps. Almost as though the way the map is broken up in Sonadow Gens was intentional, not random, so as to match what you would see if you went to the same locations in 06. Which tbh i find very interesting and very suspect. Imo there's no way this could have been an accident.

I also think that the first castle we run into in Sonadow Gens, the one with the Biolizard, are broken up pieces of the castle where Maria and Gerald are standing, as well as the castle/cathedral that Neo is residing in. All three castles are the same castle, just split into multiple parts. Specifically to match the optical illusion that is the Sonadow Gens map, with the cipher being Soleanna City. That's my running threory. I'm gonna be unlocking more of the Sonic 06 Soleanna map today just to see if the locations continue to match up.

Also big big big thanks to @jadedazemations he was there keeping me sane when i was losing my mind over this and helping me figure out if i was genuinely cooking or just going crazy, so like, thank you dude so very much you are incredible
