Wiki Challenge: Ares - Sonic the Hedgehog

[destrekor]

Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares

Get here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_%28series%29

post every connection. There is a link, somewhere, on every page, eventually getting to the Hedgehog.

Can you do it? 😀

I did it in 8 steps.

edit:
I'll give a hint. My 7th step (8th step was landing on the final goal above), was "sonic hedgehog"

The bad part is I did that link in my head before going to Wikipedia. Using the easy way though a console isn't any fun.

dammit.

I didn't quite expect the narrow approach y'all took.

However, evadman wins, not because of the short list, but because he didn't use any categorical lists. 😛

Categorical lists are just cheating. 😛

For reference, my wild wiki tangent that inspired this thread:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_%28mythology%29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(series)

edit:

Would it change the game if I made the end goal here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_hedgehog

Hmm, guess not, since that is listed in the legacy section on the Sonic the Hedgehog character wiki page.

He needs one more jump to get to the right page by the way 😛

Ok, what's the next challenge?

 

[Evadman]

didn't use any categorical lists.

If I wanted to do that, I would just use deities in literature

It links to both http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_%28series%29 and to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares. Granted you have to start in the middle of the chain though.

True, I didn't go one more level down to the series. 😀

Ok, what's the next challenge?

I hope it doesn't include Sonic on one end or the other, I know way too much about Sonic, and can probably link to some pretty weird stuff without trying.

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Ok fine, I'll make a new one since I found the first one rather interesting.

I'm going to hit random twice on wikipedia to pick.

Start
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhotoPerfect

End
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aloe

 

[Evadman]

Start
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhotoPerfect

End
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aloe

Holy hell.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_Mansfield
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aloe

That was pretty crappy

EDIT: Should we make some rule about not being able to use dates or "List" pages?

 

[Evadman]

Wow, that's damn good yoyo.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Wow, that's damn good yoyo.

I feel like I cheated with the dates.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Anyway... here's the next two random articles I got

Start http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_contest

End http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichoboscis


EDIT: This does not look promising...

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

You did that backwards.

I started from both ends and worked my way to the middle, does that matter? I would think that's how you would have to do this, otherwise you could be wandering around wikipedia for days.

 

[coldmeat]

It's impossible unless you use lists.

If you try to follow your list, it will not work.

Start from both ends to find the path, but if you can't follow the path once you paste it all in, that doesn't work.

EDIT: Oh, and yes, the order matters. You must start with Will Contest.

Ok then 😛

I didn't use lists did I? Google doesn't show you the links in the little side wiki template boxes.
