Happy #HobbitDay to all fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s timeless world! Today, while celebrating The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, it’s fun to think about how Sonic the Hedgehog shares a surprising connection with these legendary stories: Rings.

In Middle-earth, the One Ring represents immense power and destiny. In Sonic’s world, Rings are symbols of life, protection, and energy. While they serve very different purposes, both universes use rings as central, iconic elements that define their stories and heroes.

Interestingly, many fans have joked about the crossover potential, “One Ring to rule them all… or hundreds of golden Rings to keep Sonic safe.” Even in the Sonic movies, the Rings take on a more mystical role, acting as teleportation portals, almost echoing Tolkien’s magical artifacts.

So on this #HobbitDay, it’s cool to see how two completely different franchises share one golden bond: the power of the Ring.

Making character movement and the HUD took way longer than I thought doing that in Pocket Code for Sonic 3 Mobile back when I started, it was a huge challenge without a PC.

My least favorite part is ofc, finding bugs that ruins my experience. It can be so frustrating when the #Sonic physics don't behave or I find a glitch sprite asset but solving them is the only way to get that smooth gameplay. #Devruary #Sonic #SonicJ

@SonicBlastYT41

Honestly I didn't have a time saving tool, I build everything from scratch. It’s more work, but it’s the best way to make sure my #Sonic physics feel just right. #Devruary

My favorite part of gamedev is playing them. Nothing beats the feeling of finally testing a level and seeing the #Sonic physics click into place. Specially with Sonic J by @jtn00b , It makes the work worth it! Thanks Jean!

What if Sonic.exe was Sega official:

Bad habits? None yet! 🌀 Starting on Pocket Code meant I was always learning. I’m focused on forming good habits like staying consistent and taking feedback rather than looking back. Every line of code is still a new lesson! #Sonic #Devruary #SEGA
