'''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.

'''[[SonicRetro:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''' is the main character of the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series of video games and [[Sega|Sega Corporation]]'s mascot.  Since the beginning of the series, Sonic has been the champion of peace, risking his life to stop the plots of a variety of violent foes, particularly [[Dr. Eggman]], in order to establish worldwide peace. Along the way, he has been aided by many characters, including his friends [[Miles "Tails" Prower]], [[Knuckles the Echidna]], [[Amy Rose]], and occasionally [[Shadow the Hedgehog]].  Sonic's greatest asset is his ability to run at supersonic speeds.  However, he is also prone to making rash decisions.
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 has currently appeared in two crossover titles alongside of [[Mario]]: ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He is set to appear in a third; ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. In these games, he is voiced by [[wikipedia:Jason Anthony Griffith|Jason Anthony Griffith]], who also voices Shadow.
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. Ultimate]]'', [[sonicretro:Roger Craig Smith|Roger Craig Smith]] succeeded Griffith as Sonic's English voice since the release of ''[[sonicretro:Sonic Free Riders|Sonic Free Riders]]'' and ''[[sonicretro:Sonic Colors|Sonic Colors]]'' since 2010. Unlike Mario, Sonic usually has full voice acting.
==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}}


== History ==
==Rivalry==
=== Mascot Rivals ===
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>
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 [[Game Sightings|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 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''.


[[Image:Sonic-Shoes.jpg|thumb|left|Sonic's trademark shoes are shown in the bottom right corner, next to the trash can. Also, Earthworm Jim's plasma gun is there.]]
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.


=== A Failed Quest ===
==History==
Sonic's shoes make a cameo appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. In [[Cranky Kong]]'s video game hero contest. contestants are ranked based on how many hidden [[DK Coin]]s they could discover during the course of the game. On the pedestal of winners stands [[Link]] at #3, [[Yoshi]] at #2, and [[Mario]] at #1 until the players collects enough coins and earns a ranking with [[Diddy Kong]]. Sonic's shoes and [[Earthworm Jim]]'s plasma gun can be found nearby lying next to a trash can, implying that these characters failed to rank in the contest.

In the [[Cranky's Video Game Heroes]] awards ceremony in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Sonic's shoes and Earthworm Jim's plasma gun can be seen next to a trash can, along with a sign saying "No Hopers". This detail was removed for the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], which was released after Sega became a third-party developer.

Sonic competes against Mario and others in Olympic events in the game ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''. He is a Speed character, similar to [[Yoshi]], meaning he has great speed, but low power. Interestingly, Sonic wears a life jacket during the swimming events, since he can't swim, but he is not against water entirely, which is why he is competing in these events.
Sonic competes against Mario and others in Olympic events in the game ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. He is a Speed character, having the best speed in the game alongside Shadow, but his power and skill are merely average and his stamina is poor. Sonic wears a yellow life jacket during the swimming events, since he cannot swim; however, he moves quite fast in water as well as out of it.

''The fastest hedgehog in the world, this little blue speed demon often gets going so fast, he appears to be just a whirling blur. He'll usually be found in front of any of the speed-based events in these Olympic Games, and will be very difficult to catch in any of the short-distance sprints.''
Sonic, once again, crosses over with Mario in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. As in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'', he is a Speed type character and is the fastest one in the game.
In the [[Adventure Tours]] mode for the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] version, [[Bowser]] and [[Dr. Eggman]] team up to ruin the 2010 Olympics. Bowser melts all of the snow at the event, and Dr. Eggman kidnaps the [[snow spirits]] to prevent any snowfall. Sonic and [[Mario]] team up in order to put a stop to Bowser and Dr. Eggman's plans and to save the snow spirits.

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 an April Fool's edition of ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'', Sonic and [[Tails]] were said to be secret characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The method given for unlocking them was defeating 20 [[Fighting Wire Frames]] in Cruel Melee, a very difficult task, after which the player would fight both characters to unlock them. Eventually, however, the rumor was proven to be a joke.

Sonic is in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as a character who is unlocked by completing the game's story mode. 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 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. Sonic and [[Solid Snake]], are the only third party characters to appear playable in the game.
====''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games''====
Sonic returns as a playable Speed type character in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''. In the 3DS version, Sonic, along with Mario, can be used in any of the game's events. This is the first Nintendo 3DS ''Mario & Sonic'' game to give Sonic in-game text dialogue, as opposed to his silence in previous games.

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.
[[Image:Sonic_Subspace_Emissary.jpg|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 floats, 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 not happen. 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 was [[List of Super Smash Bros. Melee pre-release and unused content#Characters|originally]] requested to be a playable character in the [[Super Smash Bros. Melee| previous installment]] according to his creator Yuji Naka, but the idea got scrapped due to time constraints.<ref>[[smashwiki:File:YujiNakaInterview.jpg|Yuki Naka on the road]]. ''Edge''. Retrieved June 12, 2023.</ref> However, he would make his ''Super Smash Bros.'' debut as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and, alongside [[Solid Snake|Snake]], is one of the first two non-Nintendo characters to appear as playable characters in the series. He can be unlocked by playing 300 Brawl matches, completing Classic with ten characters, playing ten hours of Brawl matches, or by having Sonic join the party in The Subspace Emissary; with any of the first three methods, the player must then defeat Sonic on [[Green Hill Zone]]. Sonic was not originally planned to appear in the game; he was included during development in 2007, making him the final character created from the ground up to be added into the game.<ref>{{cite|author=PushDustIn|date=July 24, 2016|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20180306210721/http://sourcegaming.info/2016/07/24/sonic-the-hedgehog-joins-the-battle|title=Sonic the Hedgehog Joins the Battle!!|publisher=Source Gaming|accessdate=July 25, 2016}}</ref>


'''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 him/her. 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 its possible to block the attack. [[Kirby]] can use the Homing Attack if he copies Sonic's powers.
Sonic is the fastest character in the game, with fast attacks and movements. Several of Sonic's moves are based on those he uses in his games. His standard special is the [[smashwiki:Homing Attack|Homing Attack]], which involves him flying right into opponents, his down special and side special are [[smashwiki:Spin Dash|Spin Dash]] and [[smashwiki:Spin Charge|Spin Charge]], respectively, which both involve him curling into a ball and ramming into opponents, and his up special is [[smashwiki:Spring Jump|Spring Jump]], which involves him leaping up off of a spring from the ''Sonic'' series. His [[Final Smash]] move is using the [[Chaos Emerald]]s to transform into [[smashwiki:Super Sonic|Super Sonic]], allowing him to fly around the stage to attack. Sonic's victory theme is directly taken from the 2006 ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 game)|Sonic The Hedgehog]]'' game, that tune being an arrangement of the "Act clear" theme from ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog 3|Sonic The Hedgehog 3]]'' and most ''Sonic'' games after that. This makes him the first character in the series whose victory theme is ported directly from a non-''Super Smash Bros.'' game.
<br clear=all>
[[Image:BrawlSpinDash.jpg|thumb|'''Spin Dash''']]


'''Spin Dash''' is an attack used by Sonic in the game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. This move will act 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 him/her, 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 the exact 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]].
[[File:SubspaceIntro-Sonic.png|thumb|upright=1.1|left|Sonic in the Subspace Emissary]]
<br clear=all>
For [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], Sonic does not appear until the very end, after [[The Great Maze]]. As 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 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]], [[Link|Toon Link]], [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]], and [[Samus|Zero Suit Samus]], is one of the only characters that are never seen as trophies in The Subspace Emissary.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
[[File:SSB4 - Sonic Artwork.png|thumb|left|150px|Artwork for Sonic from ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']]
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Sonic (SSB4)}}
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.


'''Spring Jump''' is the name of Sonic's Up [[Special Move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. When used, Sonic will pull a [[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.
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.  
<br clear=all>


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''.

[[Image:BrawlSpinCharge.jpg|thumb|'''Spin Charge''']]
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Sonic (SSBU)}}
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.


'''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.  
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.

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.

In his Classic Mode route, Sonic battles against fighters based on various characters he encounters throughout the ''Sonic'' franchise.

[[File:MK8D Mii Racing Suit Sonic.png|75px|thumb|Sonic suit in ''Mario Kart 8'']]
The artwork of Sonic from ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' is seen on the Mii Racing Suits screen of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' (from version 4.0 onwards) and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. Upon scanning the Sonic [[amiibo]] onto the NFC touchpoint, a racing suit stylized after him will be accessible to the player; this suit can be used on the [[Mii]].
 
===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
[[File:Sonic Yoshi.jpg|75px|thumb|left|Sonic Yoshi in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
By tapping Sonic's amiibo into ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', the player will unlock a Yoshi appearance based off of Sonic, sporting blue skin with flesh-colored arms and chest, Sonic's shoes and gloves, and green eyes. Tapping in the amiibo will cause Yoshi to transform into this appearance instantly, although it can be switched to at the amiibo Hut as long as it has already been used.
{{br}}
 
===''Super Mario Maker''===
[[File:SonicSMM.png|frame]]
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''.
{{br}}


'''Super Sonic''' is Sonic's super form, found in almost every mainstream ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' game. Super Sonic also appears in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', acting as his [[Final Smash]] move. When the [[Smash Ball]] is broken open, Sonic gets circled by the seven [[Chaos Emerald|Chaos Emeralds]], 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]]. However, his control is terrible, and he has huge inertia, but his speed is incredible; faster than Sonic himself. 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.
===''Super Mario-kun''===
<br clear=all>
Sonic made a special appearance in ''[[Mario & Sonic at Tokyo 2020 Olympics]]'', a bonus ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' story released in the 500th issue of Corocoro Magazine.<ref>{{cite|author=Burman, R.|date=November 18, 2019|url=k00004649.hatenablog.com/entry/2019/11/18/114236|title=Mario & Sonic Super Mario-Kun Crossover|publisher=Hatena Blog|accessdate=May 20, 2024}}</ref> In an adaptation of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', Mario and Sonic act as rivals in various events. 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.

* All of Sonic's television shows (except for the recent ''[[wikipedia:Sonic X|Sonic X]]'') were made by [[DIC Entertainment]], the same company that made all of Mario's American shows. As such, the television programs shared certain similarities; for instance, the ''[[sonicretro:Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog|Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' episode "[[sonicretro:Sonic is Running|Sonic is Running]]" ended on an almost identical note to that of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode ''"[[Princess Toadstool for President]]"'', the ''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'' episode "[[sonicretro:Lovesick Sonic|Lovesick Sonic]]" has similar themes to those of ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode ''"[[The Beauty of Kootie]]"'', and DIC gave the protagonists of their shows certain food affinities almost exclusive to the programs (specifically, Mario's television love of Italian food and Sonic's of [[Hot Dog|chili dogs]]).

—Sonic, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Sonic the Hedgehog, commonly known as simply Sonic, is the eponymous main protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise who has appeared in crossover titles alongside Mario in the Mario & Sonic series and the Super Smash Bros. series. He has been Sega Corporation's official mascot since 1991, when he replaced their previous mascot, 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.

For the first two games of the Mario & Sonic series and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Sonic was voiced in English by 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. Ultimate, Roger Craig Smith succeeded Griffith as Sonic's English voice since the release of Sonic Free Riders and Sonic Colors since 2010. Unlike Mario, Sonic usually has full voice acting.

Concept and creation[edit]

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, and replace their current mascot character, Alex Kidd. Several character designs were submitted, and Sega eventually settled on a spiky teal hedgehog submitted by Naoto Ohshima named "Mr. Harinezumi", later renamed Sonic. Some of the original ideas for Sonic depicted him as being in a band, as well as having a human girlfriend named 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, Sonic Team developed the character's first game, Sonic The Hedgehog, a platformer for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive.[citation needed]

Rivalry[edit]

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 Hedgehogs 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 Marxio Bro's of 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.[1]

Their rivalry lasted until 2001 when Sega left the console manufacturing market with the discontinuation of their last console, the Dreamcast, and became a third-party game developer. The first Sonic games released on Nintendo consoles were Sonic Advance for the Game Boy Advance and an enhanced port of 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".[2] The Mario & Sonic series proceeded to become a successful series of sporting games.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

Sonic's trademark shoes are shown in the bottom right corner next to the trash can, as well as Earthworm Jim's plasma gun

In the Cranky's Video Game Heroes awards ceremony in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Sonic's shoes and Earthworm Jim's plasma gun can be seen next to a trash can, along with a sign saying "No Hopers". This detail was removed for the Game Boy Advance remake, which was released after Sega became a third-party developer.

Mario & Sonic series[edit]

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games[edit]

“Mario and Sonic have been respectful rivals since the early days of video games. In fact, for a long time they have been discussing the possibility of one day competing against each other. Now that they have been given the perfect opportunity to meet at the Olympic Games, we may finally learn who is actually faster, Mario or Sonic?”
—Shigeru Miyamoto
Sonic the Hedgehog's render from Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Sonic, as he appears in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Sonic competes against Mario and others in Olympic events in the game Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. He is a Speed character, having the best speed in the game alongside Shadow, but his power and skill are merely average and his stamina is poor. Sonic wears a yellow life jacket during the swimming events, since he cannot swim; however, he moves quite fast in water as well as out of it.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games[edit]

Sonic, once again, crosses over with Mario in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. As in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, he is a Speed type character and is the fastest one in the game. In the Adventure Tours mode for the DS version, Bowser and Dr. Eggman team up to ruin the 2010 Olympics. Bowser melts all of the snow at the event, and Dr. Eggman kidnaps the snow spirits to prevent any snowfall. Sonic and Mario team up in order to put a stop to Bowser and Dr. Eggman's plans and to save the snow spirits.

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

Sonic appears as a Speed type playable character in the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, and appears in the game's opening at the beginning with the other athletes, as well as later competing in 110m Hurdles, Dream Hurdles and Dream Uneven Bars, as well as with Mario on top of Big Ben. Sonic appears as a character that can be spoken to in London Party mode in order to play minigames and earn stickers, and Mii outfits based on him and his Super Sonic form can be unlocked.

In the 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, Silver and 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 and Cheese from some imposters when the fog returns. Sonic then heads to Stonehenge with Mario, Luigi, Toad, Tails and Omega, where he defeats 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 badge of Sonic can also be obtained from the badge machine.

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

Sonic also appears as a playable character in Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. He is once again a Speed type character.

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

Sonic returns as a playable Speed type character in Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. In the 3DS version, Sonic, along with Mario, can be used in any of the game's events. This is the first Nintendo 3DS Mario & Sonic game to give Sonic in-game text dialogue, as opposed to his silence in previous games.

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

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 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 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.

SmashWiki article: Sonic (SSBB)

Sonic was originally requested to be a playable character in the previous installment according to his creator Yuji Naka, but the idea got scrapped due to time constraints.[3] However, he would make his Super Smash Bros. debut as an unlockable playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and, alongside Snake, is one of the first two non-Nintendo characters to appear as playable characters in the series. He can be unlocked by playing 300 Brawl matches, completing Classic with ten characters, playing ten hours of Brawl matches, or by having Sonic join the party in The Subspace Emissary; with any of the first three methods, the player must then defeat Sonic on Green Hill Zone. Sonic was not originally planned to appear in the game; he was included during development in 2007, making him the final character created from the ground up to be added into the game.[4]

Sonic is the fastest character in the game, with fast attacks and movements. Several of Sonic's moves are based on those he uses in his games. His standard special is the Homing Attack, which involves him flying right into opponents, his down special and side special are Spin Dash and Spin Charge, respectively, which both involve him curling into a ball and ramming into opponents, and his up special is Spring Jump, which involves him leaping up off of a spring from the Sonic series. His Final Smash move is using the Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic, allowing him to fly around the stage to attack. Sonic's victory theme is directly taken from the 2006 Sonic The Hedgehog game, that tune being an arrangement of the "Act clear" theme from Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and most Sonic games after that. This makes him the first character in the series whose victory theme is ported directly from a non-Super Smash Bros. game.

Sonic in the Subspace Emissary

For The Subspace Emissary, Sonic does not appear until the very end, after The Great Maze. As 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 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, and Zero Suit Samus, is one of the only characters that are never seen as trophies in The Subspace Emissary.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[edit]

SmashWiki article: Sonic (SSB4)

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.

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.

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 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.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

SmashWiki article: Sonic (SSBU)

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.

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.

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.

Classic Mode route[edit]

In his Classic Mode route, Sonic battles against fighters based on various characters he encounters throughout the Sonic franchise.

The artwork of Sonic from Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games is seen on the Mii Racing Suits screen of Mario Kart 8 (from version 4.0 onwards) and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Upon scanning the Sonic amiibo onto the NFC touchpoint, a racing suit stylized after him will be accessible to the player; this suit can be used on the Mii.

Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]

By tapping Sonic's amiibo into Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, the player will unlock a Yoshi appearance based off of Sonic, sporting blue skin with flesh-colored arms and chest, Sonic's shoes and gloves, and green eyes. Tapping in the amiibo will cause Yoshi to transform into this appearance instantly, although it can be switched to at the amiibo Hut as long as it has already been used.

Super Mario Maker[edit]

Sonic, as he appears in Super Mario Maker.

Sonic appears as one of the Mystery Mushroom 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 Sega Genesis / Mega Drive 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 +Control Pad up 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.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Sonic made a special appearance in Mario & Sonic at Tokyo 2020 Olympics, a bonus Super Mario-kun story released in the 500th issue of Corocoro Magazine.[5] In an adaptation of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, Mario and Sonic act as rivals in various events. 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.

His abilities in this form far surpass his normal ones, and he's even able to fly. He uses a lot of energy in this form, so he can only remain in it for a short time.

    • Snake: Something about that hedgehog rubs me the wrong way...
    • Otacon: ...? Oh, you mean Sonic the Hedgehog? But everyone loves Sonic. He's a big star. Do you have any idea how excited people are that he's here in Brawl?
    • Snake: Yeah, I know, but there's something about him I just don't like.
    • Otacon: But...why? You must have some kind of reason.
    • Snake: ...Nope, just don't like him.

Wii U Sonic Lost World (10/2013)
(Applies only to the Wii U version) Trophy Box: 83: Sonic & Friends
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. (American English)
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.) (British English)

Sonic's up special Spring Jump lets him reach great heights by jumping on a spring, becoming invincible for a moment. He can't use any other specials during the jump, but he can attack or dodge. This move's great for returning from a long launch. Other fighters can use the spring, though! (American English)
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! (British English)

The Chaos Emeralds are said to hold enough power to control the whole world. It's that power that turns Sonic into Super Sonic. He turns a glorious golden color and can fly at nearly the speed of light. In his Final Smash, this high-speed flight damages anyone who gets in its way and can even launch them! (American English)

Palutena's Guidance[edit]

  • 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.

amiibo[edit]

  • Sonic the Hedgehog is the fastest hero in the world, famous for his supersonic speed, iconic blue spikes and red shoes. With a super cool attitude and easy-going demeanor, Sonic has a love for freedom and adventure. Spinning head-on into trouble to defeat the evil forces of Dr. Eggman, for Sonic saving the world is the name of the game.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

  • Super Smash Blog bio: This speedy fighter has a lot of rush-type attacks. His final smash[sic], Super Sonic, lets him fly around the stage at an incredible speed!

Trivia[edit]

The artwork
  • After Sonic's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario was suggested to appear in 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.[6]
  • Near the end of Mario Takes America's development, the developers made multiple "backup" edits should they lose the Super Mario license. One of them featured Sonic replacing Mario.[7]
  • In acknowledgement of Mario's 20th anniversary, Sega released an illustration on the Sonic Channel of Sonic wearing Mario's cap alongside text reading "20th HAPPY MARIO!"
