HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYEYEYEYEY WHAT'S GOING ON?! Okay seriously, Happy April Fools Day! I'm sure you have noticed some strange happenings in the Sonic community today. Like our site for example. It's that time of the year! Everyone lets go for a rather wacky day to bring in the month of April. The Sonic community is no different. So why not let us list the various pranks that have been unleashed upon this year?

First up, we have Sonic Stadium. Usually on this day there's a "site redesign" that takes place every year. Big The Cat Stadium, anyone? This year is different. It can be found at their forums. A familiar face might show up on the page to greet you. A certain...Omochao.

One message in particular brings back memories. Why couldn't it be the circle button?!

Sonic United gave their forums a makeover. AFG HQ, anyone?

The next comes from Sonic Retro and can, once again, be found on their forums. However, when you go to them you're not greeted with the forums. Instead you're greeted with a familiar loading screen. The song is somewhat soothing though. Not to mention the screen doesn't last long before the forums do show. So don't worry, there's no text box or going through rings that you have to do!

TSSZ News also marked April Fools day with joke articles. This year there's six of them. And you can read them all in the list I provided below!

The Sonic Show uploaded a rather charming video of a trailer revealing a new Sonic game. Why not watch and see what the game is?

Sonic News Network got in the spirit too. Literally. They went Mario on us!

And lastly, Sega themselves gave us probably the one that stood out most of all. They made an online game called "Rappy Bird" where you guide a bird through gaps in Sonic 2's Emerald Hill Zone walls by pressing a key to go up. And that's it. Touch the obstacles and you have to start again. Don't believe me? Then play it yourself!

That's everything! So I'll leave you with this. April Fools Day isn't supposed to be something you take seriously. All of the pranks, fake articles, and new "games" are all out of good fun. It's one day where the world lightens up and spends just one day to be silly. So why not join in? If the joke is offensive only then should you get upset. Otherwise it is all harmless fun. So whenever April 1st rolls around, the best advice I think anyone can give you is this: just lighten up for a day that's anything but serious. I think you'll feel a lot better about April Fools Day if you do!

See this hand I'm holding in front of my face? Is it handsome? Is it clean? Good, because I'm married to it.

Don't tell it that I had an affair with my left foot, though.

I loved today! Coincidently I had to use PC the entire day, so I had this fun. This was awesome.

Except rappy bird, it sucks.

I loved googles prank too

It'll be applicable for today only, the sp theme will be on from the next day again. So it isn't really a change.
