I think Sonic is a young adult in STCO, and let's leave it like that.

Sonic was aimed at an American audience. It's not very Japanese. Sonic just never made it big there; he's more of a western series.
On ages, I don't recall Sonic's age ever being stated in the early years so the comic can't be based on that. Sonic's age was originally 16 but it changed to 15 for Adventure. When Sonic "turned human" he looked prepubescent - say 9 to 11 years of age. I'd say he's more in his late teens now.
Honestly I'm more interested in Amy's age. She never looked 8 years old like in the games. I'd put her more at 10 - 12 in her first appearance.

I've never really thought it mattered. To be honest I don't particularly think it matters, not just in this series but in most contexts, since it's never really an issue or a plot point. Iconic characters from other series, such as Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Mario/Luigi, even Lara Croft have never required their age be given during their respective series. Hence why there are so many conflicting theories surrounding it. In many cases it isn't necessary. To be honest I don't really think such a thing can even be tellable, with the possible exception of Dr. Eggman though even that's an ambiguous case. He looks about early 40s to me. Beyond that, couldn't really say. Also, welcome to the forum Blossomforth!

Honestly I'm more interested in Amy's age. Pervert. I seem to recall the Sonic and Knuckles manual saying Knuckles was 15... and IIRC I think STCO might have mentioned how long he has been on the island by himself (well, in his current incarnation! XD) But yeah, it doesn't really matter. Either time doesn't work in the same way on Mobius or they are all like the Simpsons - locked in time, forever! Muahahahhaaa!

Sonic video game wise has been 15 to 16 for years.
STC Sonic I personally feel has been about these ages too.
Amy and Tails about 12 and 10 but Amy and Tails both seem like they have aged a lot especially during the STC-O run so now I say Sonic is like 18 Amy 15 and Tails 13 now. Well I like to think they're about these ages.
But these type of comics kind of run forever like DC/Marvel they're different from Mangas or on going series so you can never really put an age of these characters and writers would choose to write them anyway age they like unless there are rules given.

I think Sonic is 28 currently, he looked about 10 years in Sonic the human and that was printed about 18 years ago, so 18 + 10 = 28 years. I think Tails is about 26 currently he looked about 8 years in Sonic the human and that was printed about 18 years ago, so 18 + 8 = 26 years. I think Amy is about the same age as Sonic because she look about Sonic's age in her first appearance. I think Porker is in his thirties because he went to university before his first appearance. I think Johnny was in his late twenties in Sonic adventure arc. I think Shorty is 27 currently, he look 10 years in first appearance and that was printed about 17 years ago so 17 + 10 = 27 years. I think Tekno is in her late twenties currently. I think Kintobor/ Robotnik is about 40/ 50 years.

I don't know about anyone else on Mobius, but both Sonic and Robotnik have been exposed to high levels of Chaos energy various times over the years. Perhaps the energy has stunted the ageing process for them?

I forget to add Knuckles who I think looks about early thirties but I think he is about eight thousand and thirty years old.
