Sonic is Sega's mascot

The fastest character in the world, Sonic the Hedgehog, was created to be Sega's mascot. His ability to run at the speed of sound (hence the name Sonic) sets him apart from other characters, but that's not what makes him popular. Sonic Sega is a surprisingly charming hero, endowed with a memorable appearance and strong charisma. Now it’s hard to imagine that Sonic had competitors for the role of a mascot for Sega. Now there is no doubt that the choice was made correctly. It was such an accurate hit that Sonic immediately won the hearts of the fans. Sonic has become the main character of Sega's video games, with his participation in the title role, cartoons have been shot, comics have been created and books have been written, and the story of Sonic still does not cease to be interesting. Sonic Sega is as popular in 2017 as it was when it first appeared in 1991.

Sonic and all characters (Sonic and all characters)

Telling the story of Sonic is very difficult - primarily because it is shown in different ways in TV shows and games. According to one version, his parents are Jules and Bernadette, according to another, Sonic is the son of Queen Alina, and he has a sister and brother. In one version, he is born as an ordinary brown hedgehog, which subsequently overcomes the supersonic barrier and acquires superpowers and a blue color, in another he is born with blue spines and the ability to run at supersonic speed. With the age of the hero, the creators of the Sonic Universe also could not agree in any way, he is either 15 (this is the main age), then 16, and according to the Fleetway comics, it’s only 3 years old. But, be that as it may, the fact that Sonic is an anthropomorphic hedgehog, he has blue spines, he runs incredibly fast and fights evil, which personifies Dr. Eggman, remains unchanged.

Sonic's appearance has changed several times during its existence. Initially, Sonic the hedgehog, created by Naoto Oshima, was not tall - 80 cm, had a round tummy, short legs, short needles, his eyes were a solid black color. In 1998, when artist Yuji Uekawa worked on the image of a hedgehog for the Sonic Adventure toy, Sonic grew significantly, lost his roundness, his legs stretched out, the needles became longer, and a green iris appeared near his eyes. The third time the appearance of the hedgehog changed in 2006 during the development of another video game. Sonic got a slender body, grew up to 100 cm and his rich blue color became lighter.

The character of Sonic is also quite controversial, but this is his usual feature, unchanged in all games and cartoons. Sonic the Hedgehog can be calm and even lazy, then suddenly hot-tempered and impatient. He strives for freedom and independence, but at the same time he knows the price of responsibility very well and always brings the work he has started to the end, which causes special respect. Sonic also loves risk and adventure and is always ready to stand up for his friends.

With the help of the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic can change, taking on stronger, faster, more perfect forms. Sonic has several of them.

The Werewolf Sonic form first appeared in Sonic World Adventure (Sonic Unleashed). Dr. Eggman turns Sonic into a monster by awakening Dark Gaia. In the form of a werewolf, Sonic loses his ability to run fast, but gains tremendous physical strength and endurance, and his arms acquire the ability to stretch incredibly long. Transforming, the werewolf Sonic can climb walls and gain additional combat skills.

This form was displayed in comics and manga, and a small cartoon "Sonic: Night of the Were-Hedgehog" is dedicated to it.

Dark Sonic (Dark Sonic)

Dark Sonic appears in the Sonic X cartoon. The form of Dark Sonic completely changes the hedgehog familiar to us. The color of the needles, wool and aura darkens so much that it turns out almost black, and the eyes, on the contrary, lose color, becoming completely white. Dark Sonic gets additional abilities, and his speed is doubled, and his strength also increases.

Super Sonic is a super form that Sonic the Hedgehog can assume using the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds. In addition, at least 50 rings are required to enter this form. While in Super Sonic form, consumes 1 ring per second. The form gives invulnerability, the ability to destroy enemies with just a touch, increases strength and speed, and it also changes the appearance of Sonic. From blue it turns to golden yellow, and its needles belligerently bend upwards.

Darkspine Sonic (Darkspine Sonic)

Sonic in this form is very reminiscent of Dark Sonic. Eyes without pupils, blue-black. The differences are only in two parallel stripes running along the head, and fiery rings. You can go into this form thanks to the three Rings of Peace. In this form, Sonic receives an unlimited amount of energy, can fly, but at the same time he is very vulnerable. Darkspine Sonic's form was only shown once in Sonic and the Secret Rings.

Excalibur Sonic (Excalibur Sonic)

In this form, Sonic wears shining gold knightly armor and receives the legendary sword Excalibur. The appearance of Sonic in this form does not change. The form gives Sonic the ability to fly. Excalibur Sonic appeared in the game Sonic and the Black Knight and so far has not been seen anywhere else.

  • Name in Japanese: エミー・ローズ.
  • Name in English: Amy Rose.
  • This character is also known by the name: Rosie the Cheat.

Amy Rose is a hedgehog with pink spines. Amy has her own weapon, the "Piko Piko" hammer. The hammer first appears in Sonic the Hedgehog's Gameworld. Sonic and Amy met in Sonic the Hedgehog CD. Amy is kidnapped by Metal Sonic, created by Dr. Eggman. Sonic saves Amy, and she falls head over heels in love with him. But Amy's feelings scare Sonic, so he often runs away from her. However, Amy does not hesitate to declare herself Sonic's girlfriend. However, the hedgehog has quite good reasons for this. Sonic loves Amy, this is proved by his concern for the pink hedgehog, the concern with which the hedgehog perceives her coldness, and the desire to always come to her aid. Therefore, no one doubts that Sonic loves Emmy, except for himself.

Amy's appearance has undergone quite a lot of changes since her first appearance. The pink hedgehog was designed by Kazuyuki Hoshino and finalized by artist Yuji Uekawa. In the cartoon "Sonic" she is the most romantic character. And also Amy is one of the most popular characters in the story of the blue hedgehog. Amy's character is light, cheerful, sometimes quick-tempered. From the first appearance, Amy and Sonic are inseparable. And despite the fact that the blue hedgehog often runs from his girlfriend, frightened by her pressure, any fan of the game will say that there is love between Sonic and Amy. Rose is a very bright character, and, of course, fits the role of the protagonist's girlfriend. The love of Sonic and Amy has inspired fans to create comics and fanfiction in her honor. Many Sonic and Amy fanfictions are quite funny. The plots of these stories are very different, but most often funny situations are played out about the persecution of Amy Sonic. Fanfiction only once again emphasizes the popularity of this couple.

Shadow (Shadow)

  • Name in Japanese: シャドウ・ザ・ヘッジホッグ.
  • Name in English: Shadow the Hedgehog.
  • First appearance: Sonic Adventure 2.
  • Drawn by Shadow Yuji Uekawa, and the idea of ​​its creation belongs to Takashi Iizuka.

According to the plot, Shadow was a project of the space colony of the ARC, he was developed as the highest form of life and the strongest weapon. Subsequently, the project was considered dangerous and closed, and Shadow was placed in a state of suspended animation, from which Dr. Eggman brought him out.

Initially, Shadow takes revenge on the whole world for the death of his only true friend, Maria, but later, remembering the oath that he gave to the girl before her death, he sacrifices himself to save the planet. However, the developers of Shadow did not put an end to this, and they resurrect him in the game Sonic Heroes. And in the game "Sonic" in 2006, Shadow was assigned one of the main roles.

Shadow and Sonic are complete opposites, although their appearance is largely similar, except for coloring. Shadow is black with red stripes. At the beginning, his eyes had a red iris, but subsequently Shadow's eyes change color, they have an orange tint. The height and weight of Shadow and Sonic are equal: height 100 cm, weight 35 kg. But in terms of age, Shadow Sonic is suitable for his father. The black hedgehog is over 50 years old. However, time over Shadow is powerless. In addition to supersonic speed, Shadow can travel through time and space. The Shadow-Sonic tandem was conceived as a confrontation between good and evil. But in fact, everything turned out to be much more complicated. Initially, the Sonic vs. Shadow formula is used, but suddenly the hedgehogs have common tasks and problems that can only be solved in a team, this unites Sonic and Shadow. The love of adventure and speed, as well as the desire to save the world, makes them partners. But the fans went further and announced that what unites Sonic and Shadow is nothing more than love for each other. Sonic's confrontation against Shadow seems to many to be the beginning of a completely different relationship for this couple.

Sonic and Silver meet as enemies. After all, Silver came from the future to kill blue hedgehog, as he believes that this can prevent the appearance of the demon Iblis. But the first meeting of Sonic and Silver ends in nothing. The next battle involves Sonic, Shadow and Silver. Shadow creates a time portal and this saves Sonic.

Tails is a fox with two tails and yellow fur. Tails can fly by spinning his tails like a propeller. Tails is highly intelligent and talented, but is often hindered by fear and self-doubt. If Tails got over his insecurities, he could rival Dr. Eggman in genius. Tails is a born mechanic, loves to tinker with various flying machines and enjoys flying them himself. Sonic and Tails are not just partners in the fight against Dr. Eggman, they are true friends. Tails admires Sonic and wants to be like him. And the blue hedgehog considers the fox to be his little brother.

Sonic and Tails often get into trouble, but the hedgehog tries to protect his friend and takes care of him in every possible way.

Both Sonic and Tails and Knuckles often join forces to fight Dr. Eggman.

He wears a black bodysuit with a pink heart, white high boots, and long white gloves. Rouge was not well received by critics, and neither were Sonic fans. Rouge, in their opinion, resembles Knuckles.

But at the same time, Dr. Eggman is recognized as one of the most famous and insidious villains in video games. Dr. Eggman is not just a crazy inventor, able to create a whole army of robots and manage complex technical means, Eggman dreams of taking over the world. The evil genius, the main villain of Sonic, is all about him. It is he who is the main opponent of Sonic. And although Eggman's plans for world domination fail over and over again, he does not lose heart, his energy is in full swing, and he is ready to create robots again and again, take over the world and fight Sonic. It is strange that with such hatred for the blue hedgehog, Eggman often saves him from other villains.

All three seasons are very different. They differ not only in plots, but also in atmosphere. Season 1 is the easiest, reminiscent of the game. Against their will, Sonic and his friends end up on the ground. Super Sonic X fights Eggman and hunts for the Chaos Emeralds.

But the next two seasons are much more dramatic, they reveal a new side of many heroes. And even Eggman is rendered a little differently than usual. In one of the episodes, he saves Sonic from a Metarex attack. This ambiguity is probably what makes this anime the most popular Sonic series.

Sonic X is the first anime about Sonic. What's funny, in Japan, only the first 2 seasons of Sonic X were shown, and for the Japanese it was one season, which was then divided into equal parts when broadcast in other countries. This happened due to the low popularity of the cartoon "Sonic X" in Japan. Much more interest in the series was shown in the United States, where the premiere of season 3 of Sonic X took place. It should be noted that, in general, the entire Sonic X series was heavily adapted to the American audience and much was cut from the original version. First of all, this fate befell scenes with violence and drinking alcoholic beverages.

Initially, season 1 of Sonic X included 52 episodes. Season 2 "Sonic X" - 26 episodes. But in the foreign box office, the Sonic X cartoon is divided into 3 seasons, each of which has 26 episodes. Season 1 of Sonic X was released in Japan on April 6, 2003 and aired through March 28, 2004, including 52 episodes. With the subsequent separation of these series, it turned out that season 1 included episodes from 1 - "Freaks Controlling Chaos" - to 26 - "The Birth of Super Sonic", released in Japan on September 28, 2003.

Sonic X 2 begins with the episode "Disaster Begins", which premiered on October 5, 2003, and ended on March 21, 2004 with "Memories of the Wind".

Season 3 of Sonic X was not shown in Japan. His first series, Messenger of the Meteor Shower, premiered in the United States on September 10, 2005. Season 3 of Sonic X ended with the episode "Where Stars Are Born" on May 6, 2006.

Fans have been waiting for Sonic X season 4 in spite of everything for a very long time, but there can be no hope that Sonic X season 4 will be filmed. And numerous statements about its imminent premiere on the Web are just empty promises.

Artists Yuji Uekawa, Yukiko Iijima and designers Satoshi Hirayama, Yasuhiro Moriki worked on the characters of the Sonic anime. The main characters of "Sonic X" do not require a special introduction, all of them have long been familiar to viewers from numerous games and cartoons about Sonic. Separately, it is worth noting only two - this is Christopher Thorndike and Cosmo.

Christopher Thorndike is a boy of 12 years old (in season 3 of Sonic X he is already 18 years old). Sonic becomes his real brother. Despite the fact that the boy has a family, servants and classmates, before meeting Sonic the Hedgehog, Christopher was very lonely. Acquainted with the team of Sonic, he becomes a member of his adventures.

Cosmo is another bright Sonic X character. Cosmo is a plant girl. She is an alien, the last of a vanished race of anthropomorphic plants. Cosmo sacrificed herself to weaken the enemy. All of Sonic's attempts to revive Cosmo fail. But one of Cosmo's seeds, found by Sonic, sprouts.

Based on the series "Sonic X", a collectible card game "Sonic X" for 2 players was released. The object of the game is to collect the first three Chaos Emeralds.

"Sonic: Night of the Were-Hedgehog"

  • Original title: ソニック&チップ
  • Title in English: Sonic: Night of the Werehog.
  • The premiere of the cartoon "Sonic: Night of the Hedgehog" took place on November 21, 2008.
  • Director: Takashi Nakashima.
  • Duration: 11 minutes.

The plot of the cartoon "Sonic: Night of the werewolf hedgehog": anyone who comes to the old mansion will not only be frightened by ghosts, but also photographed at this moment. This is done by two ghosts to please their girlfriend - a ghost girl. But one day Sonic and his friend Chip come to the mansion. Chip is horrified, but Sonic himself can scare anyone by turning into a werewolf.

A photograph depicting the monster Sonic falls into the eyes of a ghost girl, and she falls in love with Sonic. The monster, meanwhile, disappears along with the full moon. Taking the form of Chip, the ghost follows Sonic, while the real Chip remains in the hands of the ghosts.

"Sonic for Rent"

  • Original title: Sonic for Hire.
  • Premiere: February 13, 2011.
  • The creators of the series "Sonic for Rent": Mike Parker and Michael William.
  • Duration: 7 seasons.
  • Studio: Machinima.com.

Plot: The series "Sonic for Rent" consists of 7 seasons, each of which contains 13 episodes lasting one to two minutes. Sonic for Rent is a sprite flash animated series that follows the misadventures of Sonic, who has long lost his popularity, and his attempts to regain it by appearing in other people's video games. Many viewers find the series funny, but most agree that there are too many obscenities and drugs in the cartoons. This is especially true for the Sonic 5 and Sonic 6 seasons. As for "Sonic 6", so, among other things, a hint of yaoi appeared in it.

  • original name: Sonic Boom.
  • The premiere of the cartoon "Sonic Boom" took place on November 8, 2014.
  • Director of the animated series Sonic Boom: Natalys Raut Sieuzac.
  • Writers: Alan Denton, Reid Harrison, Greg Hahn, Benoit Grenier, Doug Lieblich, Dave Polsky, Mark Banker, Jean-Christophe Derrien, Romain Van Liemt
  • Duration of the series "Sonic Boom": 2 seasons.
  • Studios: OuiDO! Productions, Sega of America.

Plot: The developers of the animated series Sonic Boom have done everything possible to ensure that its plot resembles other Sonic stories as little as possible. Even the character of some Sonic Boom characters is strikingly different from what we are used to from other series. Okay, Knuckles looks unusually stupid here. However, Knuckles' behavior has an excuse: in the Sonic Generations game, he gets too hard on the head from Amy Rose, but this episode is not displayed in Sonic Boom, and if you have not played Sonic Generations, then Knuckles' stupidity will surprise you greatly. Also, for many viewers, the badger Styx, known for games such as Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, will seem like a strange character in Sonic Boom. But in the series, the character of Styx is different from the game, he is too explosive. It's funny that in some episodes, Sonic and Dr. Eggman team up. So, in the 2nd episode of the 2nd season of "Sonic Boom" "Shelter for the Villain", Eggman lives at Sonic's house. Not done in the cartoon "Sonic Boom" and without Shadow. True, he appears only in the last episode of season 1. The reason was that the screenwriter couldn't manage to adapt Shadow to Sonic Boom and make it funny enough.

The cartoon "Sonic Boom" consists of 2 seasons, which currently include more than 70 episodes. The developers of the cartoon about "Sonic Boom" stated that the series will consist of 100 episodes. So far, "Sonic Boom" fully justifies the expectations of fans, but do not forget that many cartoons about Dream Interpretation did not have a logical conclusion.

Season 1 of Sonic Boom is worth 52 episodes. The last episode of the season of It Takes a Village to Defeat a Hedgehog aired on November 14, 2015.

The season of Sonic Boom 2 is not over yet. On March 18, 2017, his 19th episode, Robot Employees, was released.

It is worth noting that the cartoon about "Sonic Boom" is the only series that was filmed entirely using 3D graphics.

Nazo Unleashed

Nazo Unleashed is a fan-made series consisting of short episodes. The protagonist is Nazo the hedgehog, who is considered by many to be the prototype of Super Sonic. Nazo is attributed to the Sonic X series, although Nazo never appeared in it. His image inadvertently flashed in one of the clips for the series. Not infrequently, Nazo opposes Sonic.

"Sonic": music

For a long time, Sonic's songs for the Sonic the Hedgehog games were written by the rock band Crush 40. The first name of the group was Sons of Angels. The group debuted with the song "Open Your Heart", which is the main theme of the game Sonic Adventure. Sonic's music for this track was composed by Jun Sena. There are thirteen versions of this song.

The song "Sonic Boom" is played at the beginning and end of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Music "Sonic Boom" - Spencer Nielsen.
Text by Spencer Nielsen and Pastiche.

Full text of the song "Sonic Boom" in English:

Verse 1 of Sonic's song:
If you're strong, you can fly
You can reach the other side of the rainbow.
It's your right, take a chance
"cause there"s no circumstance
that you can't handle (When you use your mind)

Mr. Bad's got it good
But, this ain't his neighborhood
he's taking over oh, no
Time is now, he can't hide
Find the power deep inside and make it happen.

Chorus 1 "Sonic Boom" song:
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
Trouble makes you run faster
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
Save the planet from disaster

Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
Spinning through a world in motion
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
TAKE IT ALL THE WAY!

Verse 2 of the Sonic Song:
It's your move, break it out
That's what life's all about
It's your adventure

To the dark, to the light
It's a Super Sonic flight
Gotta keep it going!

Chorus 2 "Sonic Boom" song:
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom
Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom

Sonic's song advises his fans, "If you're strong, you can fly, you can reach the other side of the rainbow."

Another version of the text and music "Sonic Boom" for the new game was written by the group Cash Cash. The new lyrics and music for "Sonic Boom" were warmly received by fans and critics.

The most extensive lyric theme is Sonic and Amy. Many songs are dedicated to their relationship. Sonic and Amy are so passionately in love with musical compositions that they more than correct some coldness on the screens.

In total, more than fifty albums with Sonic songs have been released. But the first place is taken by the music for "Sonic X" from the album Sonic X Original Soundtrac. The Sonic X Original Soundtrac album contains "Sonic X" songs from the TV series of the same name. In total, the album included 40 songs "Sonic X". The album was released in Japan. The music of Sonic X was written for him by such composers as Yoshihiro Ike, Cheryl Watanabe and Kazuyoshi Baba.

Based on games and cartoons about the hedgehog in 1993, two series of comics about Sonic begin to appear at once. One of them, called Sonic the Comic (STC), is published by the British publishing house Fleetway Publications. The second is called Sonic the Hedgehog and is published in the United States by Archie Comics.

The Sonic the Comic series ran from 1993 to 2002. In total, it has 223 issues of Sonic comics. On issue 89, the publisher merges with the American company Egmont Group and changes its name to Egmont Fleetway. The first issue of the comic is printed on 36 pages and cost 95 pence. Initially, there were other video game characters in the pages of the comic, but they were subsequently forced out, and the series became completely owned by comics about Sonic and Amy and their friends. Since the last issue was released, fans have created an unofficial sequel to the Sonic comic called Sonic the Comic Online! In 2004, Sonic the Comic Online received second place in the Diamond National Comics Award for "Best Online Comic".

Sonic the Hedgehog comics have been produced since 1993 to this day. In 2008, Sonic the Hedgehog was recognized as the longest-running comic based on a video game and made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for gaming. At the moment, almost 300 issues of the comic book about Sonic, Amy and other heroes of the blue hedgehog story have been published.

Since February 2009, Archie Comics has been releasing a spin-off of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series called Sonic Universe in parallel with the main Sonic comic. The comic talks about other popular Sonic characters, all but Sonic himself. The comic is published monthly, with its 100th issue due out in 2017. The author of the Sonic Universe comic is Ian Flynn.

In addition to comics about the blue hedgehog, novels, manga and Sonic coloring pages are released.

Sonic toys

Like all popular characters, Sonic has become a model for the creation of many toys. Each new cartoon and video game has only multiplied their range, which includes both the simplest Sonic plush toys and collectible figures that fans are hunting for. It is simply impossible to tell about everyone. Let's take a look at the most notable of them.

Lego Sonic

There are several Lego sets dedicated to Sonic, but the most significant is the Lego Sonic set, released for the 25th anniversary of the blue hedgehog. But he is interesting not only for this. This set belongs to the LEGO Dimensions game, which means that the figures from the Lego Sonic set interact with the game. It is enough to put them on the Lego Toy Pad board - and the real figure will be transferred to the virtual world.

  • Título original: Lego Dimensions Level Pack 71244 (Sonic The Hedgehog)
  • The catalog number is 71244.
  • The number of parts is 101.
  • Minifigures - Sonic the Hedgehog.
  • Accessories - Sonic's golden ring.

The Lego Sonic set was released on November 18, 2016. It makes it possible to assemble Sonic's car and the Tornado plane. Sonic toys - a car and a plane - are not quite ordinary, they are easily transformed into robots.

Sonic Boom toys

Under the brand name Sonic Boom, a number of play sets with launchers and several individual figures have been released. It is worth noting that Sonic Boom toys are 100% similar to the characters of games and cartoons about Sonic. The details of toys are movable, but their dignity is not only in this. Some Sonic Boom toy characters are equipped with a vehicle and a launcher for it. There are only three vehicles: Sonic has a wheel, Knuckles has a skateboard, Dr. Eggman has an eggmobile.

Public opinion

Having become a cult character, Sonic Sega had a rather strong influence on the culture of the 90s, which had consequences even today. As one of the fans of Sonic aptly noted: "It seems that no one knows him, but at the same time everyone knows." This is what shows how strongly the blue hedgehog has penetrated the subconscious of the public. At first glance, Dream Interpretation evokes extremely positive emotions. He fights evil, helps friends, goes in for sports. The character is 100% positive, and the mascot of Sega Corporation cannot be otherwise. Sonic is absolutely pure, you will not find a single negative statement of psychologists about him. But at the same time, there is something that worries parents whose children are passionate about Sonic. This surprisingly positive character for some reason makes fans want to make him cruel. Pay attention to fan video games, they are the best illustration of this opinion. From a cute animal, Sonic turns into a fiend with bloody eyes, he subtly torments his friends. Why this happens, experts must decide, but for some reason they are silent.

  • Sonic became the mascot of Sega, pushing Alex Kidd out of this place. Moreover, after the introduction of Sonic, the company stopped releasing games with Alex Kidd, apart from his several small roles in other Sega games.
  • Amy Rose was mistakenly given the wrong title of princess.
  • Initially, Tails was mistaken for a girl.
  • The name "Eggman" comes from the English "egg" - "egg". Indeed, the body of Dr. Eggman is very shaped like an egg.
  • "Sonic YOZHYG" is a fan series that causes rather conflicting feelings among viewers. Many find it funny, while others find it disgusting. Plus, he's pretty rude. "Sonic YOZHYG" consists of small unrelated plots.
  • In 2018, Sega Sammy Group and Sony Pictures promise to surprise the viewer by releasing a movie about Sonic. It is stated that in the movie "Sonic" in 2018, along with computer animation, real actors will be involved. Critics believe that the 2018 Sonic movie will become a worldwide sensation, and fans are confident in advance that the Sonic movie will be doomed to failure. CEO Sega Sammy Hajime Satomi said in an interview, “The Sega Sammy Group is working with Sony Pictures to create a Sonic the Hedgehog movie that will be a hybrid of animation and live action. With this film, we plan to expand our business into areas of the entertainment industry that we are not currently involved in.”
  • Metal Sonic only has a voice in Sonic Heroes.
  • The first 3D Sonic game was supposed to be Sonic X-treme. But the first attempt to translate Sonic into 3D was a failure. Development of the game dragged on, and Sonic X-treme was never released to players.
  • Michael Jackson is connected with the game "Sonic the Hedgehog" not only by the fact that Sonic's sneakers are copied from his shoes. Few people know, but Michael Jackson took part in creating the soundtrack for the game Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
  • Interestingly, Sonic the Hedgehog CD is a continuation of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, but in fact it came out before Sonic 3 and Knuckles in time.
  • Sonic and Mario "took part" in various Olympic Games more than once. Ira in Sochi was no exception. There is Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games released in 2013.

Pictures of Sonic

Silver from Sonic is a kind-hearted and well-meaning hedgehog, driven by a strong sense of justice and willing to right the wrongs of the past in order to keep the peace, although he is somewhat naive and apparently young. Despite the monumental tasks that Silver sets for himself, he is an optimist and will do whatever is necessary to protect his home world.

Appearance

Silver is a light gray (almost white) anthropomorphic hedgehog with white chest fur surrounding his neck, golden eyes, and brown skin. He has two large spikes on the back of his head, and five different spikes can be seen on his forehead, two of which partially cover his ears.

Silver's outfit from Sonic consists of white gloves with light blue circles and lines leading to his gold bracelets. His blue-white-blue boots are decorated with gold and red precious stones.

Character

Silver from Sonic has a keen sense of justice, and it is this personality trait that motivates him to go back to the past to fix the future. He believes in supporting those who need his help. This caused him to accept Blaze while the others teased her for her pyrokinetic abilities.

When he pursues an enemy, he does so with relentless determination. He very easily enters into alliances and enters into rivalry, and is also able to inspire confidence in people without much difficulty. In Sonic Boom, Silver is shown to be an optimist (although, as he himself stated in Sonic Forces, he is not only an optimist, but also a realist). Despite the seeming seriousness at times, Silver is young and somewhat infantile. Blaze describes him as naive and impulsive. He usually keeps positive thinking and never gives up hope, no matter how hopeless the situation is.

Silver from Sonic shows both anger and joy very intensely and violently, but he prefers to hide sadness. He calmly allows his rage to take over and cheerfully reminisces about the things that make him happy, but he is unlikely to say a single word about his sadness, although everyone usually notices it. However, although he may be sad, he never falls into despair, always looking for the right solution. His determination can make him a very intimidating opponent.

Silver from "Sonic" is very courageous and brave, he is ready to fearlessly sacrifice himself for the sake of others. Absolutely unshakable in the face of danger, he is courageous almost to the point of madness and is ready to fight evil to the last, not really thinking about his own safety.

intuition and selfishness

Despite Silver's naivety and general lack of critical thinking, he is not overly stupid. Even Eggman Nega called him insightful, and Silver was the first to reveal his perfect disguise. With little information to draw on, he allows his intuition to guide him, but as he is a slightly withdrawn being, he has little understanding of interpersonal relationships or subtle manipulation tools.

He seems to have a competitive streak and becomes somewhat brazen in the midst of a confrontation, as seen in Sonic Rivals 2: when you play as him and face your opponent, Silver says, "I'm better." This looks especially comical in games in which the player drops Silver against Sonic. If you win the race or the battle, he asks arrogantly: "Who is the best?"

In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, when you win a race, he says "Nothing can scare me!". In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and Sonic 3, Silver commonly refers to Iblis' monsters and Eggman's robots as "garbage", referring to himself in a smug tone when defeating them.

When Silver meets someone who gets in his way, especially in Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rivals 2, he can be very short-tempered and a little overbearing towards anyone who is clearly not helping him in his mission, and sometimes even becomes hostile and starts a fight with the unlucky character.

Sometimes Silver does not focus on his current mission or is idle, but he is very friendly, interesting and a good conversationalist, and therefore can brighten up the moment of waiting for the next task.

Story

Silver has three conflicting backstories for Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). The game's website states that he comes from a happy future that has not been destroyed, and in the past it appears that he has learned that his future will be destroyed, and therefore wants to stop this process. Here is such a tricky temporary recursion.

It is implied in the game manual that Silver starts in the present and ends in the future, in which he finds out that his world was destroyed during the events of Sonic the Hedgehog and goes looking for something that will destroy the future of his world and returns to past. According to the original story shown in the game, Silver lives in a ruined future and goes into the past to change the future for the better.

Past

Silver is at least two hundred or more years old in the future of Sonic's world. In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), when Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are exploring the city he lives in, Knuckles says, "How can this be our future?"

For the second and third time, the player discovers that Silver's world is the future of Sonic's world in Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rivals 2, respectively. Right before Eggman Nega turns this world into a card, Silver states in no uncertain terms, "What?! But that would mean my future would also be destroyed!” In Sonic Rivals 2, he tells Espio and Knuckles "I have to save your world or my world will be destroyed as well!"

character concept

The creation of a character named Silver began in the early stages of development of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), when the development team was still making huge levels with several options for their passage. With a new graphics engine that enhances the gaming experience, they decided they wanted to introduce a new character with unique abilities for an alternative way of completing levels. This resulted in Silver gaining his psychokinetic abilities. Early drafts describe Silver's abilities as a "special power" of unknown origin, taken from the Chaos Emeralds, but this idea was eventually scrapped. Despite the numerous battles where Sonic was against Shadow, against Silver main character The series never fought. Despite this, players can easily pit the two characters in many games in the series, such as Sonic Generations.

Name:
Floor: male
Race: hedgehog (although it looks more like a porcupine)
Age: 14 years
Growth: 100 cm
The weight: 35 kg
Color: white
Eye color: yellow
Capabilities: telekinesis, super speed, psychic abilities
Voice acting: Pete Capella (English version), Daisuke Ono (Japanese version)
Music theme:"Dreams of an Absolution" (Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, performed by Lee Brotherton)
Side: Neutral
Appearances: Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, Sonic Rivals, Sonic Rivals 2, Sonic and the Secret Rings

Silver is a hedgehog from a future where telekinesis is a common occurrence. Silver has a sense of justice distinguishing feature his personality, which helped him return to the past in order to fix the future. He can also stand up for himself and others, knows how to protect the weak. Like, for example, he stood up for Blaze when she was teased about her abilities. He is a bit naive (as Blaze claimed) and serious. Blaze constantly controls him, because he is too hot-tempered, he can be dangerous when she is not with him.

Silver, along with the cat Blaze, arrived from the future (200 years ahead) to the past, where Sonic lives, in order to stop Iblis Trigger from mass destruction. In Silver's time, the world is almost completely destroyed by the Calamity Fire. A certain Mephiles hedgehog tells Silver and Blaze that if they kill Sonic (referred to as "Iblis Trigger"), they can stop the world from mass destruction, because Sonic - main reason all this. They believed him and all three of them went back in time, 200 years ago. Then Silver and Blaze part ways to find "Iblis Trigger" alone. While searching, Silver met with Amy Rose, who was also looking for Sonic. Together they find him, and Silver attacked Sonic without explanation and almost killed him, but Amy defended him in time (damn, Sega really want to kill Sonic? Or show him as a weakling? ..). Silver then sought out Blaze and decided to try and kill Sonic one more time. During the second battle, Shadow appears, whom Silver mistook for Mephiles. Then, with the help of 2 Chaos Emeralds, the heroes transferred to the past, where the Solaris project once was. The heroes watched the explosion, due to which Iblis and Mephiles got out of captivity. They realized that Iblis was sealed into 7-year-old Alice by her father, and Mephiles was sealed by Shad into the Scepter of Darkness. Silver and Blaze finally realized that Mephiles had deceived them, and help Sonic save Alice, but they came too late. The Eggkerier that Alice was in exploded, but with the help of Chaos Control, they traveled back in time for a few minutes and saved Alice. In "Last Story", Mephiles kills Sonic and Alice cries, thus releasing Iblis. Mephiles merges with Iblis and they become the monster Solaris. But then Sonic was revived with the Chaos Emeralds and Alice's kiss.

All three hedgehogs Sonic, Shadow and Silver in their super forms destroyed Solaris, who again turned into flames. Sonic and Alice went back in time and blew out that flame. Thus, they erased all the events of the game "Sonic the Hedgehog", that is, what I just told was not. Nobody remembers anything about it. But despite the fact that the event "Sonic the Hedgehog" was not, Silver is not a one-day event. He also appeared in Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rivals 2. In the first part, Silver meets Sonic for the first time (because they don’t remember the StH event). His story has something to do with Eggman Nega, I don't know anything else... In Sonic and the Secret Rings, he only appears in two-player mode.
