Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game character and the
hero of the video game series released by Sega, as well as
numerous spin-off comics, cartoons and books. The first game in
the franchise was released on June 23, 1991 in order to provide
Sega with a mascot to rival Nintendo's flagship character Mario.
Since then, Sonic has become one of the world's best-known video
game characters, with his series having sold over 45 million
copies. In 2005, Sonic was one of the first game character
inductees into the Walk of Game, alongside Mario and Link.
Sega wanted a game capable of selling over one million
copies and a character to replace Alex Kidd as the company's
mascot. Several character designs were submitted by its AM8
research & development department, including an armadillo, a
dog, an over-sized Theodore Roosevelt in pajamas (which would
later be the basis of Doctor Eggman's design), and a rabbit
(intended to use its extendible ears to collect objects; these
aspects were later incorporated into Ristar).
Eventually, Naoto Ōshima's spiky cerulean hedgehog, initially
codenamed "Mr Needlemouse", was chosen as the new mascot.
Sonic's sapphire pigmentation was chosen to match Sega's cobalt
blue logo. A group of fifteen started working on Sonic the
Hedgehog, and renamed themselves Sonic Team. The game's
soundtrack was composed by Masato Nakamura of the band Dreams
Come True. Sega sponsored the group's "Wonder 3" tour, painting
Sonic on the tour bus, distributing pamphlets advertising the
game, and having footage of the game broadcast above stage prior
to its release.
Sonic's precise age, weight, height and other physical
characteristics vary greatly depending on the continuity in
which he appears and the style in which he is drawn. In the
video games, Sonic's original design by Ohshima was quite short
and childlike, with short quills, a round body and no visible
irises. Artwork featuring this design and drawn by Akira Wantabe
was displayed on the package artwork for Sonic the Hedgehog, and
most subsequent Sonic video games featured similar designs.
Beginning with Sonic Adventure in 1998, Sonic was redesigned by
Yuji Uekawa as a taller character with longer legs and a less
spherical body, longer and more drooping spikes, and
green-colored eyes. Further subtle changes to the character's
design have been made in subsequent games. Spin-off media such
as comics and cartoons have featured variations on all these
video game designs, with restrictions set by the standardized
model sheets.
Sonic's Abilities
Sonic is known best for his speed, with the ability to run
at speeds higher than Mach 1 (higher than roughly 761.2 mph). He
is known as "the fastest thing alive," and can run backwards
just as well as forwards, as shown in the Team Sonic opening
cutscene of Sonic Heroes and near the end of the first episode
in Sonic X. When Sonic runs faster than the speed of sound, he
can create a sonic boom, which can destroy enemies in his way,
and increase his momentum.
Many of his abilities are variations on the tendency for
hedgehogs to roll into tight balls for protection. Since his
introduction in the first Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic's primary
offensive maneuver is the basic Spin Attack (or "Sonic Spin
Attack"). As Sonic jumps or runs, he curls up and spins into a
spiky ball that can damage, destroy or burrow through many
obstacles. Later games in the series expanded on this basic
attack. Two of these enhancements have become mainstays of his:
the Spin Dash was introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and
involves Sonic spinning on the spot before blasting off at full
speed, and the Homing Attack, introduced in Sonic 3D Blast, in
which Sonic dashes in midair toward a target.
By using the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic can initiate a super
transformation into Super Sonic. For more information, see Super
transformation. When using the Super Emeralds, Sonic can become
Hyper Sonic.
Sonic's Home
Sonic lives at a location known as South Island during
Sonic the Hedgehog, and was originally born on Christmas Island.
Throughout the course of the series however, he travels from
place to place in search of adventure, though he has always (in
the official game series) lived on Earth. In Sonic Battle, he is
said to live in a city called Emerald Town.
In three of the four Sonic cartoon series, namely The Adventures
of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Underground and Sonic X, it is
implied that Sonic, just like in the games, simply travels all
over the world instead of living in a certain location.
On the other hand, in the Archie comic book series Sonic's home
is located in Knothole Village where the Freedom Fighters
reside. The same goes for its respective television series . In
Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie, Sonic's home appears to be on a
Floating Island in the Land of the Sky.
