Fleetway refers to Sonic the Comic, the British Sonic series published by Fleetway Editions from 1993 to 2002. In that version Super Sonic was not a hero power-up but a dangerous, separate personality unleashed by Chaos energy, which made him a favourite for darker Sonic edits. The it's no use line has since been clipped and reused online as a reaction to hopeless boss fights, failed plans and dramatic defeats, especially in Sonic meme videos where the Fleetway form signals that a situation has spiralled completely out of control.
