Video Game Heroes Trivia Quiz

Answer: roughly 670,000,000 miles per hour

Believe it or not, the official canon of the franchise clocks Sonic's top speed around the speed of light. As of "Sonic Adventure", Sonic was able to use the Light Speed Dash which hurtled his body through a trail of rings at light speed. Furthermore, in the "Archie" comic series "Hyper Sonic" #134, he was able to stop two missiles headed in opposite directions by running so fast that time stopped completely.

...and that was WITHOUT turning into Super Sonic.

Answer: Cloud from "Final Fantasy VII"

The character's name is Altos Tratus with both 'alto' and 'stratus' being two different types of clouds.

In addition to a massive sword and several spells, Altos must wait his until his turn gauge fills before he can choose his next attack, much like a standard RPG hero.

Answer: Triste from "Okage: Shadow King"

Lavender Town--at least in "Pokemon Red" and "Pokemon Blue"--features a massive tower that acts as a graveyard for deceased Pokemon, Guadosalam from "Final Fantasy X" contains a portal that leads to the Farplane where the spirits of the deceased gather and Halloween Town--obviously--features more than a few ghosts.

Triste however is a gathering place for people who leave so little an impact on the world that they've become transparent. While its inhabitants are certainly ghost-like, they are not actually dead.

Answer: 2 bucks

Utilizing Carrot Man's services can be essential early on as some negative effect presents such as 'raincloud' or 'Total Bummer!' may pop up at any time.

For 1 buck, the wizard will fully heal the duo and for 5 bucks, the opera singer can kill any onscreen enemies. Furthermore, more items can be purchased from mailboxes with the price depending on the desired present.

Answer: Spyro from "Spyro the Dragon"

After beating any of the first three "Spyro" games, players unlocked a list of tasks known as 'skill points' which included things like destroying all the seaweed in a water level or passing a time trial under a certain time. Completing a task would reward players with an extra life and completing them all often unlocked an epilogue.

The skill point system was later implemented into the "Ratchet & Clank" series.

Answer: The new recruit from "Saints Row"

Claude never speaks in "Grand Theft Auto III" while both Jack and Crono had two lines each. The unnamed protagonist of "Saints Row" however has four lines.

In the subsequent sequels, the protagonist breaks his 'silence' and becomes quite talkative.

Zero was first killed by Vile at the end of "Megaman X" only to be rebuilt in the sequel.

Answer: Xen

After regaining consciousness, Gordon is tasked with heading to the surface for help only to find that the rescue team that has been sent in has orders to kill the aliens and the scientists as part of a government cover-up. Towards the end of the game, Gordon enters a portal and journeys across Xen itself in order to destroy the Nihilanth which is maintaining the portal between worlds.

After his victory, he is placed into stasis by the G-Man until the events of "Half-Life 2". This disaster would come to as the Black Mesa Incident.

Answer: The protagonist was a woman

Konami's first attempt at a "Castlevania" origin story was "Castlevania Legends" for the original Gameboy. It spun the tale of Sonia Belmont and her quest to defeat Dracula. At the end of the game, it is revealed that she fathers Trevor Belmont with Alucard.

Unfortunately, the game is considered non-canon and has been referred to as an 'embarrassment'. Sonia was slated to return in the Dreamcast exclusive "Castlevania Resurrection" but the game was canceled shortly after it was announced.
