~The blue blur’s first appearance & physical appearance~
SEGA requested to change their mascot
from Alex Kidd and a game that will sell over a million
copies. The SEGA team then created the blur blur, Sonic.
They designed him as a blue hedgehog, that can outrun
anything or anyone. A small group in SEGA worked on Sonic
the Hedgehog, and that small group renamed themselves as
SONIC TEAM. They began to advertise Sonic, especially in a
singing group’s tour called “Wonder 3″ they sponsored them
and painted Sonic the Hedgehog on the tour bus. This will
encourage some audience to buy the game, “Sonic the
Hedgehog” (1991, Genesis).

Naoto Ohshima, in 1991 designed Sonic
the Hedgehog as a childlike character. He was also quite
short, and had a very round body. Akira Watanabe took the
design and worked on the artwork for the package of Sonic
the Hedgehog (1991, Genesis). Akira Watanabe also did
artwork for similar games which had Sonic with a small body.

In 1998, including Amy Rose and Miles
“Tails” Prower, Sonic the Hedgehog had been redesigned for
Sonic Adventure (1998, Dreamcast). He was redesigned by Yuji
Uekawa, as a much taller character, with longer legs and a
less spherical body, longer and more drooping spikes, and
green-colored eyes. This design has been now used in all
latest Sonic the Hedgehog games starting from Sonic
Adventure (1998, Dreamcast).

~Spin Dash and Homing~
This attack has been used ever since
his second game, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992). This attack
allows Sonic to.quickly accelerate into this roll from a
stationary position.

In 3D Sonic games, a Homing attack is
very well used and common. Sonic jumps in the air curled up
as a ball and targets enemies and obstacles. He can bounce
off enemies and go from one place to another. This attack
has been introduced in Sonic Adventure.

~ Miles “Tails” Prower ~
Miles “Tails” Prower is Sonic’s first
official best friend. Tails can almost keep up with Sonic in
games by using his tails up and rapidly, which is a special
technique to him. Tails is also a mechanical genius, who
loves to create inventions. Him and Chuck Thorndyke (In
Sonic X Seasons 1-3) has a very strong relationship because
of this. Tails’ inventions can save Sonic from dangerous
situations. Sonic has a “Big brother-to-a-small brother”
relationship with him. There is hardly a scene, where Sonic
and Tails are far apart. In games like Sonic Rush (DS,
2005), and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis, 1992) Tails
follows Sonic around and always finds a way to help him out.

Eggman. Doctor Eggman has appeared in every game

time for turning his animal friends to badniks. Now on to
the present, Sonic challenges Eggman for Chaos Emeralds to
prevent Eggman from taking over the world.

Shadow the Hedgehog is Sonic’s arch
rival. They first met in Sonic Adventure 2 and had argued
and battled against each other. Shadow even called himself
the superior one over Sonic. But at some events, Sonic and
Shadow see each other as more than a friend than a rival.
