In case you're not familiar what Sonadilvazamy is, it's basically an unofficial term for a polyship involving Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog, Silver the Hedgehog, Blaze the Cat and Amy Rose. Now, they're actually never shipped as a 5-way polyship, and instead, I'm talking about its subships collectively.

Origin
So, as of now, those 5 characters are the only Sonic characters with pages on this wiki (probably because they're the most shipped characters), but I first started getting the idea of this Sonic/Shadow/Silver/Blaze/Amy love pentagon back in 2015, when I noted that literally any pairing that can be formed out of them is a pretty popular ship. So, I made a Scratch project with the idea that two of these pairings are true love and the remaining fifth one is in love with a fan character. Of course, I intentionally made the project so it would make my ships true, by using the point that both Silver and Amy have annoyed Sonic (these connections aren't supposed to be taken seriously anyway, since it's basically like an Illuminati conspiracy theory but about Sonic couples).

The Ships
So, of course, there are the 10 couples, and all of them are at least somewhat popular. Unfortunately, there also shipping wars involving the couples and them getting hate. Personally, I don't dislike any of the 10 pairings, even if I don't ship them all.

Pairing Combinations
For every pair, there are 3 possible combinations, but of course, since there are 2 pairs in each combination and orders don't matter, there are 15 ways to ship 2 of the pairings without having overlapping characters. So, now I'm going to list the possible ways to ship 2 Sonadilvazamy pairs:
 * Sonamy and Silvaze (aka the mainstream option)
 * Sonamy and Shadaze
 * Sonamy and Shadilver
 * Shadamy and Silvaze (aka the semi-mainstream option)
 * Shadamy and Sonaze
 * Shadamy and Sonilver
 * Sonaze and Silvamy (aka the common Sonaze combination, or mainstream twist #1)
 * Sonaze and Shadilver
 * Shadaze and Silvamy (aka my ships)
 * Shadaze and Sonilver
 * Silvaze and Sonadow
 * Silvamy and Sonadow
 * Sonadow and Blazamy (aka the popular slash and femslash option)
 * Sonilver and Blazamy (aka mainstream twist #2)
 * Shadilver and Blazamy

Polyships
Of course, there are also the polyships, most notably the 3-way polyships. Out of these, I know of Sonadilver (the popular hedgehog slash polyship), Silvazamy (Sonic 06 trio), SonShadAmy (common love triangle turned into polyship) and Sonadaze (my love triangle turned into polyship). Theoretically, there are 10 of these 3-way Sonadilvazamy polyships, as for every pairing, there are 3 leftover characters that can become a 3-way ship. In addition, there are 5 possible 4-way polyships, each formed by excluding a specific character.

Total number of ways to ship them
Yes, math. For simplicity reasons, let's say having a character single or shipping them with an outsider count as the same thing. Similarly, any ship involving 2 or more of these counts as the same thing as having them in a polyship also involving outsiders. Having overlapping pairings (one character in a relationship with 2 or more characters who are not in a relationship with each other) are also excluded.

First of all, there's the option to have all of them single or date outsiders. There's also the option to have all of them date in the 5-way polyship. These are 2 options.

Then, for options involving pairings. There are the 15 options listed above, as well as 10 ways to only ship one of them. There's also the option of dating one pairing and one polyship, which gives 10 more options. Adding 10+15+10=35, and adding the 2 from before gives 37.

Now to the polyships. There's the option to ship one 3-way polyship without shipping a pairing, giving 10 more options. You can also ship any of the 5 4-way polyships. 37+10+5=52

Which means there are 52 ways to ship the 5 (unless I miscalculated). But that's only if all characters are in set relationship or single.

But time for the... LOVE TRIANGLES!

How many ways are there to have love triangles/squares/pentagons? Well... That is a question I'm not going to answer. I might update this later for other stuff related to this.
