Sonic the Hedgehog (Japanese: ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ) is the main character of the Sonic the Hedgehog game series, and is the mascot of the game company SEGA.

Introduction

What he likes most is being free, and what he hates most is bewildering things. Although he is impatient, he also has a gentle side that will not ignore those who are in trouble. Sonic believes that life is made up of uninterrupted events and adventures. He prefers to live according to his own rules rather than the surrounding rules and common sense. He keeps his promises and doesn't betray his friends. Integrity is your own justice. Although Sonic is usually just a guy who is easy to get carried away, no matter how critical the moment is, he is as leisurely as wind. In short, Sonic is the fastest hedgehog in history when nothing can stop him.

Conception and creation

It is generally believed that Sonic was created by artist Hirokazu Yasuhara, programmer Yuji Naka and designer Naoto Oshima.

In April 1990, in order to sell more than 1,000,000 copies of the game; and to compete with the then video game giant Nintendo's "Super Mario", SEGA decided to abandon the original mascot Alex Kidd and design a new mascot instead. At that time, the employees of Sega's Eighth Software Development Department (AM8) started planning the new game with Naka as the leader. More than 10 different character samples were submitted at the time, including armadillos, rabbits (the idea was later used for Sega's stand-alone character, Ristar), wolves, and a bearded figure resembling Theodore Roosevelt in pink pajamas and glasses (this design was joked about by Sega insiders, but was later used as the base figure for Dr. Eggman), etc.

In the final vote within Sega, the "Mr. ハリネズミ" designed by Naoto Oshima was widely recognized by everyone. Yuji Naka decided to name him Sonic. So Sonic became Sega's new mascot, his shoe buckle was based on Michael Jackson, his shoe color was based on Santa Claus, and his personality was inspired by future President Bill Clinton's "get it done" slogan, Yasuo Honghe feeling embodies the modern sensibility of wanting to get things done right away, blaming their own mistakes for themselves, rather than letting them linger. According to Naka Yuji, the colors on Sonic's body also symbolize peace, trust, and calmness that characterize Sonic. His signature speed is based on Super Mario World 1-1, and Sonic creator Yuji Naka said in Nintendo Power #260, "I kept getting to this level as fast as I could, which inspired the original concept - Sonic the Hedgehog." Sonic was incapable of swimming because of Yuji Naka's erroneous assumption that "all hedgehogs can't do it."

AM8 officially changed its name to Sonic Team, responsible for the development of the game. The game music is produced by Masato Nakamura in the famous Japanese POP music group "Dreams Come True". Sega also sponsored the group's "Wonder 3" tour, painted Sonic on the tour bus, and distributed brochures promoting the game, showing footage of the game on stage ahead of its release.

The original concept offered Sonic fangs and put him in a band, with a girlfriend named Madonna. However, a team at SEGA of America, led by Madeline Schroede, has "softened" the role for American audiences by removing these elements. This caused a heated question from Sonic Team. Later, Yuji Naka admitted that it was probably for the best. Sonic's precise age, weight, height, and other physical characteristics vary according to the continuity in which he appears and the style in which he is drawn. In the video game, Sonic's original design consisted of Kan's short spike, a round body with no visible iris. This design is shown on the packaging for Sonic the Hedgehog by Akira Watanabe, and most subsequent games in the Sonic the Hedgehog series feature a similar design. It wasn't until the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Mega Drive (Genesis) that Sonic's body proportions changed. The original 1:2 head height ratio was changed to 1:2.5.

Beginning with 1998's Sonic Adventure, Sonic was redesigned by Yuji Uekawa to be 15 years old, with a longer build, smaller sphere, more length, drooping spikes and emerald green eyes. In subsequent games, further changes to the character design were made, namely in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and Sonic Unleashed, visible fur was added, giving the human world a more realistic design and making him a little slack. All of these video game designs feature comics and animation, with limitations set by standardized model sheets.

Powers and Abilities

Super Speed

• Sonic's ability, without a doubt, is the ability to move at very high speeds. Sonic can run faster than the speed of sound, or he can control the distance he runs to avoid incoming enemy attacks. "Light Speed Attack" even allows him to run directly at the speed of light. His speed while flying (super form) is as fast as running. He can use this ability to directly ram enemies into pieces. Of course, the speed with which his legs are swung allows him to kick the enemy hard, painfully.

Chaos Emeralds

• Sonic can use the power of Chaos to increase his attack type, and collecting the seven Chaos Emeralds transforms him into a super form - a god-like being. Super Sonic is able to fly, breathe underwater, launch particle beam attacks, dash over enemies, lift overweight objects and even be invulnerable. He can also detect Chaos Force himself to collect Chaos Emeralds.

However, Sonic meets an evil mad scientist named Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik.

It turns out that before that, Dr. Eggman fled to Angel Island and tricked Knuckles, saying that Sonic and Tails wanted to steal the Master Emerald, and he, an "unknown mad scientist", was planning to protect it. Knuckles easily believed the lie and helped Dr. Eggman to stop the two. In fact, Dr. Eggman just wanted to use the Master Emerald to launch his Death Egg again, so as to achieve his evil purpose. Subsequently, Sonic and Tails were blocked by Knuckles.
