She's not actually from Little Planet, she just met Sonic on Little Planet.Like said, though, it's not the first time they've kinda ignored an origin. Team Chaotix just sorta... Exist. I don't think any game since has actually referenced their history with Knuckles, for example.EDIT: Likewise, I don't think Mighty actually exists to the rest of the Chaotix, in any canon capacity. </quote> ...

I know Sonic 1-3 have been deemed canon, but I can't remember any specific CD references, outside of Amy/Metal, which have been addressed. Amy briefly reminisces about Sonic CD's events (or at least, a similar but otherwise-unseen adventure, where Sonic is shown rescuing her from Metal Sonic; Sonic and Amy are both shown in their modern looks rather than their classic ones, but the idea of "Classic Sonic" being anything other than just an earlier design for Sonic wasn't really a thing until Generations anyway) in the first cutscene of her story. Otherwise, that's the only reference that game gets in Sonic Adventure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpT-AHR2c7w The moment in question is about 35 seconds into the video. <cite>SpawnShadow posted [p:976367572] in Why did th...
