Sonic the Hedgehog (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Sonikku za Hejjihoggu?), trademarked Sonic The Hedgehog,[2] is a video game character and the protagonist of the video game series released by Sega, as well as in 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 (see 1991 in video gaming).[3][4] Since then, Sonic has become one of the world's best-known video game characters, with his series having sold 50 million copies.[5] In 2005, Sonic was one of the first game character inductees into the Walk of Game, alongside Mario and Link.[6]
According to various official materials from Sega, Sonic is described as a character who is "like the wind":[21] a drifter who lives as he wants,[22] and makes life a series of events and adventures.[1] Sonic hates oppression and staunchly defends freedom.[23] Although he is mostly easy-going[22] he has a short temper[22] and is often impatient with slower things.[21] Sonic is a habitual daredevil who is honest, loyal to friends, keeps his promises,[1] and dislikes tears.[24] He took the young Tails under his wing like a little brother,[25] but is uninterested in the marital proposals from Amy Rose.[26] In times of crisis, he focuses intensely on the challenge[21] as if his personality had undergone an astonishing change.[1]
Sonic is known as the world's fastest hedgehog.[23] Sonic's greatest strength is his running speed, which is faster than the speed of sound.[24] Many of his abilities are variations on the tendency for hedgehogs to roll into tight balls for protection with the addition of spinning his body. Since his introduction in 1991's Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic's primary offensive maneuver is the basic "Spin Attack" (or "Sonic Spin Attack").[27] Later games in the series expanded on this basic attack and two of these enhancements have become mainstays of his: the Spin Dash which was introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and involves Sonic spinning on the spot before blasting off at full speed,[28] and the Homing Attack, officially introduced in Sonic Adventure, in which Sonic dashes in midair toward a target.[23] However, Sonic's weakness is that he can't swim.[24]
When seven Chaos Emeralds are collected in most Sonic games, Sonic can initiate a super transformation into Super Sonic, a faster and invulnerable version of himself that can fly.[29] In the 2D games, he enters Super Sonic mode after collecting an additional 50 Rings; in the 3D games where Super Sonic is playable, he starts off in the form with additional 50 Rings. While transformed, Sonic slowly loses Rings during the time he is in the form and returns to normal when all Rings are used up; the player can collect more Rings during this time to keep him as Super Sonic.
