History[edit]

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Silver makes a few cameo appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series. He can be seen running in the background of the Green Hill Zone stage along with Tails and Knuckles in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, there is a trophy of Silver as well as a sticker in the former game. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Silver has his own collectible spirit.

One of Sonic's alternate costumes introduced in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U is colored similarly to Silver.

Mario & Sonic series[edit]

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games[edit]

Silver high-fiving Yoshi in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

Silver appears in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games as a Skill type playable character. His signature move for the Wii version is Levitate and Teleport Dash for the DS.

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games[edit]

Silver returns as a Skill type playable character in the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, where he can be seen in the opening with all of the other athletes at the beginning, and later competing in Beach Volleyball. A Mii outfit based on Silver appears as an unlockable item in the game, and Silver also appears as a character that can be spoken to in London Party mode in order to play minigames and earn stickers.

In the Nintendo 3DS version, Silver is included in the Challengers group, meaning that he is only playable in certain Events. In the Story Mode, Silver first appears with Shadow after defeating some imposters, where they ask Yoshi, Sonic and Tails what they know about the Phantasmal Fog and imposters. He later helps the group chase down Jet, and then defeat Bowser Jr. so that Shadow can destroy the fog machine and clear the area. Silver later appears calling Mario, Luigi, Sonic and Tails to support them when they face Bowser and Dr. Eggman, and also appearing at the opening ceremony. In the bonus episodes, Silver appears with Shadow facing some of Dr. Eggman's robots, but after Bowser Jr. defeats them both himself, they challenge him to an Olympic event instead. When Bowser Jr. wins, Silver and Shadow pretend to be angry at first, but later congratulate Bowser Jr. before heading off. A badge of Silver can be obtained from the badge machine.

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games[edit]

Silver reappears as a playable character in Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. He is once again a Skill type character.

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games[edit]

Silver reappears in Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games as a playable character. In the Nintendo 3DS version, Silver is exclusive to 110m Hurdles and Archery.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020[edit]

Silver reappears in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 as a playable character. Like many other characters of the Super Mario franchise and Sonic the Hedgehog series, Silver wears outfits that are event-appropriate.

He also appears as a playable character in the arcade version, where he was the first character added after its initial launch, being added on February 28, 2020. Here, he is a Technique-type character with excellent technique, above average power, and low speed.

Unused appearances[edit]

Silver is one of the characters who was planned to be playable in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games before later being removed. This is evidenced by an unused character model of him present in the Wii version.[1]

Silver the Hedgehog comes from the future–from a world that seems to have been laid to waste. He manipulated space-time to travel to the present where he meets Sonic and friends, and now he's putting his telekinetic talents to use in an effort to save the future world he calls home.
