| '''Sonic the Hedgehog''', commonly known as simply '''Sonic''', is the eponymous main protagonist of the ''{{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' franchise who has appeared in crossover titles alongside [[Mario]] in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]] and the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. He has been [[Sega|Sega Corporation]]'s official mascot since 1991, when he replaced their previous mascot, [[sonicretro:Alex Kidd|Alex Kidd]]. Although Sonic's most iconic games have been 2D and 3D platformers, he has also appeared in a large variety of sports, racing, and party games as well.

| Since the beginning of his series, Sonic has been portrayed as a champion of peace, risking his life to stop the evil schemes of a variety of violent foes, particularly [[Dr. Eggman]]. His trademark power is an ability to run at supersonic speed, hence his name. He is generally portrayed as a heroic and headstrong character, with a bit of a tendency towards cockiness and recklessness. Sonic is often aided in his adventures by a vast number of other animal characters, most commonly his close friends [[Amy]], [[Tails]], and [[Knuckles]]. | | '''Sonic the Hedgehog''' is the eponymous main protagonist of the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series of video games.

Along the way, he has been aided by many characters, including his friends [[Miles "Tails" Prower]], [[Knuckles the Echidna]], [[Amy Rose]], and [[Shadow the Hedgehog]]. Sonic's greatest asset is his ability to run at supersonic speeds. However, he is also prone to making rash decisions and dislikes being near water because he can't swim. |

| For the first two games of the ''Mario & Sonic'' series and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Sonic was voiced in English by [[sonicretro:Jason Griffith|Jason Griffith]], his at-the-time current voice actor in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' franchise. For the next four ''Mario & Sonic'' games as well as ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.

| ==Concept and creation==
| |
| In April of 1990, Sega requested a game that would be capable of selling at least one million copies, compete against [[Nintendo]]'s ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, and replace their current mascot character, Alex Kidd. Several character designs were submitted, and Sega eventually settled on a spiky teal hedgehog submitted by [[sonicretro:Naoto Ohshima|Naoto Ohshima]] named "Mr. Harinezumi", later renamed Sonic. Some of the original ideas for Sonic depicted him as being in {{fandom|sonic|Sonic the Hedgehog Band|a band}}, as well as having a human girlfriend named {{fandom|sonic|Madonna}} who would have played a similar role to [[Princess Peach]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', though these were scrapped during development. After a few minor adjustments and redesigning, [[sonicretro:Sonic Team|Sonic Team]] developed the character's first game, ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic The Hedgehog]]'', a platformer for the {{wp|Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis / Mega Drive}}.{{ref needed}}

| ==Rivalry==
| | In these crossovers, Sonic is voiced by [[sonicretro:Jason Griffith|Jason Griffith]] and [[sonicretro:Roger Craig Smith|Roger Craig Smith]]. |
| Nintendo and Sega were business rivals throughout the 1990s, though mostly during the competition of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] and the Sega Genesis. As such, Nintendo and Sega often attempted to put each other down in their games. Examples of Nintendo mocking Sega include the "No Hopers" sign in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', and possibly the [[Harry Hedgehog]]s of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', while examples of ''Super Mario'' mockeries in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series forms of media include the emphasis on "Super" on the back of ''Sonic The Hedgehog''{{'}}s box (a reference to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and other ''Super Mario'' franchise titles beginning with "Super") and the [[sonicretro:Marxio Brothers|Marxio Bro's]] of ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Comic|Sonic The Comic]]'', a British comic book about Sonic and his friends. Sega's North American marketing also mocked ''Super Mario'' in television ads that negatively compared the speed of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' to the faster ''Sonic'' games on the Genesis.<ref>{{cite|author=Power, Ed.|date=February 14, 2020|url=www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/games/sega-sonic-hedgehog-nintendo-sony-video-game-a9334771.html|title=How Sega conquered the video games industry – and then threw it all away|publisher=The Independent|accessdate=April 12, 2021}}</ref>

|
| Their rivalry lasted until 2001 when Sega left the console manufacturing market with the discontinuation of their last console, the {{wp|Dreamcast}}, and became a third-party game developer. The first ''Sonic'' games released on Nintendo consoles were ''[[sonicretro:Sonic Advance|Sonic Advance]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and an enhanced port of ''[[sonicretro:Sonic Adventure 2|Sonic Adventure 2]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] titled ''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle'', both of which were released simultaneously in Japan. In 2007, Mario and Sonic appeared in a game together for the first time in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', which IGN, in an interview with Nintendo and Sega, called a "historic peace treaty".<ref>{{cite|author=Burman, R.|date=March 30, 2007|url=www.ign.com/articles/2007/03/29/mario-sonic-at-the-olympic-games-interview|title=Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Interview|publisher=IGN|accessdate=February 13, 2021}}</ref> The ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series proceeded to become a successful series of sporting games.
| | == Concept and creation == |
| | In April of 1990, Sega requested for a game capable of selling more than 1,000,000 copies and a character who could compete against Nintendo's Mario as well as replace the Sega's mascot at that time, Alex Kidd. Several character designs were submitted, that which included an armadillo, a dog, and a rabbit. Eventually, the mascot they selected was a spiky teal hedgehog named "Mr. Needlemouse", who was later renamed Sonic, submitted by Naoto Oshima. The original concepts of Sonic the Hedgehog depicted him of being in a band with a human girlfriend named Madonna, who would play a similar role like that of Pauline from the original Donkey Kong. After a few minor adjustments and redesigning, the Sonic Team developed the first title in what would become the phenomenally successful Sonic the Hedgehog series.{{refneeded}} |

| ==History== | | === Rivalary === |
| | Nintendo was once business rivals with Sonic's company of creation, Sega; this rivalry peaked during the 16-bit era (the era of the [[Super Nintendo]]). As such, Nintendo and Sega often attempted to put each other down through their games (thus explaining Sonic's humiliation in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' (elaborated on below), and possibly explaining the [[Harry Hedgehog|blue hedgehog enemies]] of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''). Examples of [[List of Mario references in video games|Mario mockeries]] in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series forms of media include the emphasis on "Super" on the back of ''Sonic the Hedgehog'''s box (a reference to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and other ''Mario'' series titles beginning with "Super") and the Marxio Brothers of ''Sonic the Comic'', a British comic book about Sonic and his friends. Their rivalry went throughout the 90's and until 2001 when Sega left as a console manufacturer with the discontinuation of their last console the Dreamcast (in America and Europe) and became third-party. Sonic's first game for a Nintendo system was an enhanced remake of ''Sonic Adventure 2'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], titled, ''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle''. |

Like in the previous two installments of the series, Sonic is a Speed type character. This game is notable for being the first in the series to feature Roger Craig Smith as Sonic's new voice actor. Sonic has dialogue for the Wii version of the game in the London Party mode, but not the 3DS version's Story Mode. |

|
| In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|version]], Sonic is included in the Heroes group, meaning that he is only playable in certain events. In the Story Mode, Sonic arrives in [[London]] with Tails, where they find and clear up the red [[Phantasmal Fog]] at the [[Tower of London]], concluding that Bowser is involved. The next day, Sonic and Tails head to [[Tower Bridge]], where they find more Phantasmal Fog, and clear it up with the help of [[Yoshi]], [[Shadow (character)|Shadow]], [[Silver]] and [[Jet (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Jet]], fiding out from [[Bowser Jr.]] that Dr. Eggman is also partially responsible for the fog in the process. Sonic and Tails then move on to the [[British Museum]], where they team up with Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Toad]] to clear the fog from the area and find out more about the fog. After gaining some more information, the group splits up, and Sonic heads to [[Horse Guards Parade]], where he finds Knuckles and [[Vector]] who help him fend off Bowser and clear the area of fog. Sonic then returns to the [[Main Stadium]] to meet up with the others, and helps save [[Cream (character)|Cream]] and [[Cheese (character)|Cheese]] from some [[imposter]]s when the fog returns. Sonic then heads to [[Stonehenge]] with Mario, Luigi, Toad, Tails and [[Omega]], where he defeats [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] in an Event, and after Omega recovers some memory, the group head to Big Ben to confront Bowser and Dr. Eggman. Toad and Omega head back to the Main Stadium, and the remaining four confront Bowser and Dr. Eggman, with Mario and Sonic challenging the pair. When they are defeated, Sonic helps Mario seal away the Phantasmal Fog, and then accompanies Bowser and Dr. Eggman to the Main Stadium so that they can sign up for the games, and later appears at the opening ceremony. A [[list of badges in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|badge]] of Sonic can also be obtained from the badge machine. | | In the 3DS version's Story Mode, Sonic is first seen with [[Miles "Tails" Prower]] just arriving at London for the Olympic Games. Not long after the two arrive, fog starts rolling in, though the fog is red. Sonic and Tails decide that this is Bowser and Eggman's doing and later meet up with Mario, Luigi, and Toad to put a stop to the evil villians' plot. After their defeat, Bowser and Dr. Eggman claimed they never got their invitations to the games which is the reason why they started the plot. As it turns out, they mistaken their invitations for love letters since [[Princess Peach]] and Amy wrote them. After clearing up the problem, Sonic, Tails, Mario and Luigi invite Bowser and Dr. Eggman to the Opening Ceremony and to compete in the Olympic Games. |

| | Sonic is in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as a character who is unlocked by completing the game's story mode. He along with [[Solid Snake]] are the first non-Nintendo characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Sonic is the fastest character in the game, running faster than [[Captain Falcon]], the fastest character from the last two [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]]. Several of Sonic's moves are from the original ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' game, with the exception of Spin Dash, trademark move, and Homing Attack, which debuted later in the series. His [[Final Smash]] move is using the [[Chaos Emerald]]s to transform into Super Sonic and fly around the stage attacking opponents. |
|
| |
|
| ====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020''====
| | Sonic and [[Solid Snake]] are the only third party characters to appear playable in the game. Also, whenever Sonic wins a brawl, his victory theme will play. This is played exactly the same way as the famous stage clear theme that is played in the 2006 ''[[wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' game, that tune being a remix of the stage clear theme from ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog 3|Sonic the Hedgehog 3]]'' and most ''Sonic'' games after that. Sonic's Trophy is one of the few trophies that isn't restricted to a Nintendo console., and Sonic's Final Smash trophy is the only Final Smash trophy to have game information other than just ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. |
| Sonic reappears in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'' as a playable Speed-type character. Like many other characters in the game, Sonic wears appropriate clothing depending on the event. In addition to being playable in the Tokyo 2020 events, he is one of the eight characters that are playable in the Tokyo 1964 events, using his appearance from ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic The Hedgehog]]''. In the game's Story Mode, Sonic gets sucked into the [[Tokyo '64]] game system along with Mario, Toad, Bowser, and Dr. Eggman, and decides to compete in the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games. | |

|
| In [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - Arcade Edition|the arcade version]], Sonic is also a Speed-type playable character. Here, he has the best speed statistic in the game, with average technique and low power.

| | [[File:SubspaceIntro-Sonic.png|thumb|200px|left|Sonic in the Subspace Emissary.]] |
| | Sonic does not appear in the Subspace Emissary until the very end, after [[The Great Maze]]. As when every fighter makes it to where Tabuu resides, he prepares his [[Off Waves]], which would have turned every character into a trophy. As soon as he's about to release the attack, a dashing blue blur dashes past the fighters, and rams into both of Tabuu's wings; causing the Off Wave attack to fail. As the blue blur jumps up on a "peak", he reveals himself to be Sonic. While he taunts, Tabuu's wings break apart, and then six fighters are selected to fight Tabuu in the final battle. Sonic, along with [[Jigglypuff]], [[Squirtle]], [[Toon Link]], [[Wolf O'Donnell]], and [[Zero Suit Samus]], are the only characters that are never seen as trophies in The Subspace Emissary. |

| | {{main|SmashWiki:Homing Attack}} |
| | '''Homing Attack''' is Sonic's standard special move in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It is made to copy the Homing Attack move from several ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games. If Sonic uses this attack on the ground, he will begin charging up in a ball, slowly elevating himself above the ground. When he gets high enough, he then charges at an opposing player by homing into them. After hitting or missing another player, Sonic will get out of his ball form and into his normal fighting stance, but he can use the Homing Attack again shortly after. If used in mid-air, Sonic will begin charging, but will launch himself at his opponent quicker than when used on the ground. Although the attack is called the Homing Attack, it can miss sometimes, and it's possible to block the attack. [[Kirby]] can use the Homing Attack if he copies Sonic's powers. |

| [[File:SSB4 - Sonic Artwork.png|thumb|left|150px|Artwork for Sonic from ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']] | | [[File:BrawlSpinDash.jpg|200px|thumb|right|'''Spin Dash''']] |
| {{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Sonic (SSB4)}} | | {{main|SmashWiki:Spin Dash}} |
| Sonic reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' as a playable character, making him the first third-party veteran fighter. This time, however, he is available from the start. He is also now voiced by Roger Craig Smith in English instead of Jason Griffith; additionally, he is now voiced by a different voice actor in different regions (e.g. he has a French voice in France). However, his voice clips are recycled voice clips from other games, with his voice clips of rising from water (only in the Wii U version), sleeping, and one of his attack grunts being archival recordings of Jason Griffith from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. His appearance has been updated to reflect his design in his more recent games such as ''Sonic Colors'', which in turn are based on official 2D and CG artworks.
| | {{redirectshere|Spin Dash|the move with the same name in ''[[Paper Mario]]''|[[Spin Dash (Paper Mario)|here]]}} |
| | '''Spin Dash''' is an attack used by Sonic in the game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. This move acts as Sonic's Side Special Move, and has three effects. Firstly, Sonic will curl into a supersonic ball, and start rolling around the stage at high speeds. Charging up the move first can speed the attack up, similarly to [[Jigglypuff]]'s [[Rollout]] attack. When Sonic hits a player, he will cause damage on them, possibly doing more damage the faster the attack. Sonic can also jump while using this move, meaning he can avoid falling off edges easier. Then, he can exit the attack and do another attack to push his opponent further away from the stage. Then, he can use exactly the same move again to get back onto the stage from afar. The move can also be used in mid-air. A similar attack is the [[#Spin Charge|Spin Charge]]. |
|
| |
|
| His moveset is almost completely unchanged from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''; the only real changes are that his down smash from the previous game (a back-and-forth Spin Dash) has been replaced with a split-kick, while his dash attack (a Spin Dash) has him perform a lunging kick afterwards. Sonic's overall damage output is lowered, but many of his attacks deal more knockback. Sonic's air speed and fast-falling speeds are both faster, while his walking speed is slightly slower.
| | =====Spring Jump===== |
| | [[File:BrawlSpringJump.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''Spring Jump''']] |
| | {{main|SmashWiki:Spring Jump}} |
| | '''Spring Jump''' is the name of Sonic's Up [[Special Move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. When used, Sonic will pull a [[Springboard|spring]] from the original ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', and use it to bounce really high in the air. He can use this both on the ground and in mid-air. If he uses it on the ground, it will stay on the ground, allowing other players to bounce on in as well. Sonic cannot do damage when using the spring, however he can still use some of his aerial moves (but no Special Moves) afterwards (one of very few Up Special Moves that can do so). When the Spring falls in Mid-Air and hits an opponent it sends them straight downwards and deals some minor damage. Sonic can also use this move to recover from getting knocked off the edge of a stage. |
|
| |
|
| One of his alternate colors in this game seems to be based off [[Silver]]. Along with Sonic himself, a stage based on [[Windy Hill Zone]] from ''[[sonicretro:Sonic Lost World|Sonic Lost World]]'' makes an appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' as well as the returning Green Hill Zone appearing in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''.
| | =====Spin Charge===== |
| {{br|left}}
| | [[File:BrawlSpinCharge.jpg|200px|thumb|right|'''Spin Charge''']] |
| | {{main|SmashWiki:Spin Charge}} |
| | '''Spin Charge''' is an attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', which is Sonic's Down [[Special Move]]. If Sonic uses this attack, the player can tap the special move button to charge the attack even further. Charging it up gives it a huge power and speed boost, more so than the [[#Spin Dash|Spin Dash]]'s charge. The attack is very similar to [[Jigglypuff]]'s [[Rollout]] attack. |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''==== | | =====Super Sonic===== |
| {{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Sonic (SSBU)}} | | [[File:Super Sonic.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''Super Sonic''']] |
| Sonic returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Like ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Sonic is an unlockable character instead of being available from the start. Sonic's basic moveset appears mostly unchanged aside from his dash attack, which is now solely a lunge kick. His Final Smash, Super Sonic, returns, but he travels much faster than before, and he moves automatically back and forth while his height can be adjusted, in a vein similar to [[Pac-Man]]'s Final Smash. As with several other returning characters, Sonic's victory theme has been slightly shortened compared to the previous installments. Both Green Hill Zone from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and Windy Hill Zone from ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' return as well.
| | {{main|SmashWiki:Super Sonic}} |
| | '''Super Sonic''' is Sonic's super form, found in almost every mainstream ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' game. Super Sonic also appears in the games ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' acting as his [[Final Smash]]. When the [[Smash Ball]] is broken open, Sonic gets circled by the seven [[Chaos Emerald]]s, and then transforms into Super Sonic. He is able to fly around the stage at free will in this form, injuring any character he touches, comparable to [[Volt Tackle]]. |
|
| |
|
| Like all other characters in the game, Sonic receives benefits from universal changes: his already quick mobility is much faster; his aerial attacks have less landing lag; his short hop timing is reduced; he can directionally air dodge to aid his recovery; and he can use any grounded attack out of a run and any of his aerial attacks while climbing ladders. In a similar vein to fellow veteran [[Charizard]] and newcomers [[Inkling]] and [[Incineroar]], Sonic takes minor damage from swimming in water; this is due to him being unable to swim in his home games.
| | However, the control is very poor, and he has huge inertia, but his air speed is extremely faster than his ground speed. This, however, can be his biggest downfall, as if he unwisely boosts his speed at the wrong time, he will end up running straight past his opponents, as they can dodge him easily if he's going too fast. As such, the player has to gain good control over Super Sonic's speed in order to use this move properly. However, if used properly, it can be one of the most devastating, [[smashwiki:KO|KO]]-inducing Final Smashes in the game. Fortunately, Sonic can't [[smashwiki:self-destruct|self-destruct]] himself while using this Final Smash, but he does risk a SD if the Final Smash ends near the bottom blast lines. |
| | {{br}} |
|
| |
|
| In the World of Light trailer, Sonic tries to run away from [[Galeem]]'s large laser attack, but slows down in an attempt to save [[Pikachu]]; this fails, with both of them being captured by Galeem and used to create puppet fighters. Sonic is found in the "Sacred Land" sub-area of the Dark Realm, and is one of the fighters required to be defeated to progress.

| Sonic appears as one of the [[Mystery Mushroom]] [[Costume Mario#87|costumes]] available in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. The costume can be unlocked by clearing 100 Mario Challenge on Expert difficulty or by tapping Sonic's [[amiibo]] onto the Wii U GamePad, and can only be used with the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' style. The sprite used for Sonic is 16-bit, being based on his sprites in the original {{wp|Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis / Mega Drive}} ''{{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game)|Sonic The Hedgehog}}'' game. Collecting the Mystery Mushroom giving the player this costume plays the 1-Up tune from the 1991 game ''Sonic The Hedgehog'', and all of Sonic's sound effects are taken from the original games. Pressing {{button|wii|padup}} causes Sonic to look up while playing the Ring-collecting sound. Finally, Sonic's "course clear" and "lose a life" fanfare are the course clear and game over fanfare, respectively, from ''Sonic The Hedgehog 3''.

Mario is so confident he will win, he tells Sonic that if he loses, the manga will be renamed to "''Super Soni-kun''". Throughout the chapter, Mario gets increasingly frustrated until Sonic reveals the only reason he made a guest appearance in the manga was to get to know Mario and become friends. After making up, the two proceed to the final event, the 100m Dash, before Yoshi gives Mario a [[Golden Dash Mushroom]]. After Sonic accuses Mario of cheating, the two get into another fight.

| |desc=The star of the Sonic The Hedgehog series. He's an easygoing hedgehog who blows past the competition with his speed. Seriously, on the ground he's faster than anyone else in Smash Bros. Use this to your advantage, avoiding blows while landing lightning-fast attacks.
| |
| |desc2=A certain hedgehog from a certain series you just might have heard of. Unlike most hedgehogs, he's incredibly fast. Like most hedgehogs, however, he can't swim. He's by far the fastest runner of all the fighters, so take advantage of that by making sure no one gets the chance to hit him. (Just try not to end up in the water.)

| |
| |desc2=Sonic's Spring Jump up special lets you bounce to great heights and briefly makes you invincible at the start. You can't use other specials while in the air, but you can use normal attacks, dodge and so on. It's great for getting both back to the stage and out of tough spots, but just remember that everyone else can use the spring too!

| |
| *'''[[Pit (character)|Pit]]''': For being a hedgehog, Sonic really isn't very spiky, is he?
| |
| *'''Viridi''': Yeah, I've seen spikier. It's true that you're more likely to find him curled up in a cute, harmless ball.
| |
| *'''[[Palutena]]''': Not so harmless. That round shape lets him Spin Dash with ease.
| |
| *'''Pit''': I've changed my mind. He's entirely too spiky.
| |
| *'''Viridi''': Spin Dashes are hard to stop, though.
| |
| *'''Palutena''': Just keep your cool and don't lose focus. You can stop Spin Attacks using your Orbitars or Bow.

| *After Sonic's appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Mario was suggested to appear in ''[[SonicRetro:Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing|Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]'' early in development as an exclusive character for the [[Wii]] version. However, [[Sega]] did not approve as they believed that it could conflict with the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]].<ref>{{cite|author=kgHapa|date=February 22, 2010|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20100225015332/http://seganerds.thekartel.com/blog/2010/02/22/exclusive_qa_with_sonic_and_sega_all-star_racings_producers|title=Exclusive Q&A with Sonic and Sega All-Star Racing's producers|publisher=Sega Nerds|language=en|accessdate=March 1, 2015}}</ref> | | *In ''Sonic Generations'', Classic Sonic's B Rank pose is his ''Super Smash Bros.

| *In acknowledgement of Mario's 20th anniversary, [[Sega]] released an illustration on the [[sonicretro:Sonic Channel|Sonic Channel]] of Sonic wearing Mario's cap alongside text reading "20th HAPPY MARIO!"
| | *Strangely, even though Mario is confirmed to be 5 feet and Sonic is 3'3, all their crossover appearances show them to around the same height. The reason for the size alteration is unknown. |
| | *When he transforms into Super Sonic in ''Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'', he says, '"Super Sonic Style!" exactly as he did in ''Sonic Generations''. |
