Sonic the Hedgehog

[edit]
Main article: Sonic the Hedgehog (character)

According to various official materials from Sega, Sonic is described as a character who is "like the wind":[1] a drifter who lives as he wants,[2] and makes life a series of events and adventures.[3] Sonic hates oppression and staunchly defends freedom.[4] Although he is mostly easy-going[2] he has a short temper[2] and is often impatient with slower things.[1] Sonic is a habitual daredevil hedgehog who is honest, loyal to friends, keeps his promises,[3] and dislikes tears.[5] He took the young Tails under his wing like a little brother,[6] but is uninterested in the marrital proposals from Amy Rose.[7] In times of crisis, he focuses intensely on the challenge[1] as if his personality had undergone an astonishing change.[3]

Sonic is known as the world's fastest hedgehog.[4] Sonic's greatest strength is his running speed, which is faster than the speed of sound.[5] 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").[8] 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,[9] and the Homing Attack, officially introduced in Sonic Adventure, in which Sonic dashes in midair toward a target.[4] However, Sonic's weakness is that he can't swim, sinking like a rock if plunged to a deep body of water.[5] However, he can overcome said weakness by running on the surface of water.

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.[10] In the 2D games, he enters Super Sonic mode after collecting 50 Rings; in the 3D games where Super Sonic is playable, he starts off in the form with 50 Rings. While transformed, Sonic slowly loses Rings during the time he is in the form and returns to normal when all the Rings are used up; the player can collect more Rings during this time to keep him as Super Sonic.

[edit]
Main article: Miles "Tails" Prower

The character of Miles "Tails" Prower is portrayed as a very sweet-natured[11] and humble fox;[12] who, before he met Sonic, used to be picked on because of his two tails.[3] As a long time friend,[11] he admires Sonic[13] and dreams of being just like him.[14] Though he lacks courage,[3] he wants to prove he can be counted on[15]. He loves mint candy,[5] tinkering with machines, and flying mechas.[3] Tails has a fear of thunder[5] and a tendency to ramble.

At 8 years old, standing 80 cm (2 ft 7 in) and weighing 20 kg (44 lbs),[3] Tails has been described as a mechanical prodigy who rivals Dr. Eggman, however he has yet to realize his full potential.[13] Additionally, by spinning his two tails like a helicopter rotor, he has the unique ability to push himself through the air[11] to catch up with Sonic. However, when he takes to flight, he tires quickly.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Amy Rose

[edit]
Main article: Amy Rose

Amy's character is the bright and overly cheerful self-appointed girlfriend of Sonic.[17] She loves soft-serve ice cream and hates boredom,[18] has a natural initiative,[19] and a strong competitive streak,[17] but gets into trouble often.[7] With her strong sense of intuition and great passion[20] Sonic has difficulty escaping her.[19] Because of her pure heart[20] her character has often been used as the series Ingenue. Amy is quite formidable with her Piko Piko Hammer,[21] a weapon her skills with are second to none.[17]

Metal Sonic

[edit]

Metal Sonic (メタル ・ソニック, Metaru Sonikku) is a robotic version of Sonic created by Dr. Eggman. He first appears in Sonic the Hedgehog CD, ordered to change the past by Eggman. He returns in Knuckles' Chaotix, where he attempts to obtain the Chaos Rings, but he is stopped by the Chaotix. He appears as a boss in Sonic Triple Trouble and Sonic the Fighters. He is playable in Sonic Drift 2 and Sonic R, and a bonus character in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. He acts as the main antagonist of Sonic Heroes, where he transforms himself into Neo Metal Sonic. His appearance changes vastly and he uses a ability to transform into other beings in order to manipulate the main characters. He betrays Eggman, and uses data he collects to transform into more powerful forms. After being defeated, he contemplates not being able to defeat Sonic, returns to his original form, and he is taken away by Omega and Shadow. Eggman reobtains him and reprograms him to be obedient. He returns as an enemy in Sonic Rivals, and appears as a playable character in Sonic Rivals 2, acting under Eggman's orders.

Metal Sonic is able to match the speed of Sonic by using an engine to propel himself. He also has several of Sonic's abilities, along with being able to copy the abilities of others, such as Knuckles' strength and Silver's psychokinesis powers. He usually only communicates with a series of electronic noises, though he is able to speak in his Neo form. The form also grants him the ability to transform into the large "Metal Madness" and "Metal Overlord" forms after collecting enough data, which grants him various projectiles and the endurance to match Super Sonic. Several other versions appear, such as Silver Sonic in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Mecha Sonic in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and Metal Sonic 3.0, a black and yellow version created by Eggman Nega in Sonic Rivals 2. Metal Sonic is voiced by Junichi Kanemaru in the Japanese version of Sonic Heroes and Ryan Drummond in the English version.

He has been the main villain in every game he has appeared in, and is fought as the final boss in Sonic Rush, Sonic Rivals, and Sonic Rush Adventure.

Silver the Hedgehog

[edit]

Silver the Hedgehog (シルバー・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Shirubā za Hejjihoggu) is from many years in the future of the main timeline. His introductory appearance is in Sonic the Hedgehog. His individual episode revolves around him traveling back in time with Blaze the Cat to find Sonic the Hedgehog, known to them as the "Iblis Trigger", who they believe is the cause of their world being destroyed in the future. Over the course of the game, Silver learns the truth about the "Iblis Trigger", and how his world can be saved from destruction. He is one of the main characters in Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rivals 2. He is unlockable in the party mode of Sonic and the Secret Rings and Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity.[68]

Silver's primary ability is Psychokinesis. He is able to levitate objects and use them as projectiles, levitate, and fly. He can also fire shock waves that temporarily paralyze his enemies. He is able to use many standard abilities similar to those of Sonic and Shadow and he can utilize Chaos Control in order to warp through time and space. He is able to transform into "Super Silver" by using the power of the Chaos Emeralds. His eyes turn red, his fur becomes a white gold color, and he becomes able to use a special "Shield of Light" to draw in and throw any object within a large circular field.

Silver was created in order to utilize the new physics engine added to Sonic the Hedgehog, and, while given several elements similar to Sonic and Shadow, provide vastly different gameplay with his other abilities. The design team developed over fifty different concepts for the character, including using Sonic's "scarf like hair" with more volume, which led to Silver originally being a Mink. They felt that a mink wouldn't blend in with the rest of the characters, so they decided to make Silver a hedgehog instead. Deciding the color was difficult for the team. Orange was their first idea, but they soon decided on white-gray. While developing the character models and textures, they focused on using the using hardware to develop the textures rather than just use white-gray, which lead to Silver's color and name.[69]

The major twist is that characters in Sonic Chronicles have multiple actions in a single round, depending on their speed. In the E3 demo, for example, my team was made up of Sonic, his rival Shadow, Knuckles the Echidna and Cream the Rabbit. Sonic, being Sonic, was blazingly fast and got three turns in a single round. Shadow and Knuckles, which are not quite as fast as Sonic, were capable of multiple regular attacks. Cream, however, was so slow that she only got a single attack.
