Talk:Sonic the Hedgehog

First Appearance?
I know that we have Rad Mobile listed in the games he's appeared in, but shouldn't it be listed as first first apperance, as the game predates Sonic 1? I think it would be more accurate, but that's just my thought. 21:01, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

New Sonic Unleashed Title?
I think we need permission, so can we change it from "Enter the Werehog" to "I was a Teenage Werehog"? Live and Learn 17:47, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

Sonic's Age as of Genertions onward
Should we change Sonic's oficial age to 16, considering the fact that In Sonic Generations they were actually celebrating his birthday? I'm asking because I think we should. If not, is it possible for someone to contact Sega and ask if Sonic is actually 16 now?Phantom The Shadow Plasma  19:02, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

I mentioned this but I was told the characters don't age, which to me sounds like someone trying to be right though he clearly has a birthday in Sonic Generations, and at the end credits, they scream "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONIC!".184.3.211.111 06:59, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

If Sonic was 15 in the other games, and his birthday was in Sonic Generations, he owuld have to age in some way. Whether he's 20 or 16. He would have had to age. Even talking hedgehogs have to age. If he doens't age, they wouldn't be celebrating his birthday. it would ahve been a normal day. So he would have to be 16.Sonicman667 17:58, February 11, 2012 (UTC)Sonicman667

Are not of the stuck-up mods going to answer this question? Its been over two-months since it was asked, and has yet to be answered.MetaruSonikkuX 13:54, March 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I believe that Sonic's age determination is similar to that of Mario. Both have "aged" by how long they've existed in the Video-game universe, but they haven't physically aged. As of this situation, it's debatable, but I still don't believe that his age should be changed. 14:01, March 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Your statement still contradicts his birthday in Sonic Generations, though.MetaruSonikkuX 19:24, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I remember reading a short story summary for Generations submitted by Sega before the game's release which stated that he was celebrating his 20th Birthday at the beginning of the story. Which makes sense, as is explains why he looks so much older than Classic Sonic. - 190.138.10.18 09:45, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * None of you are right the Sonic Channel shows that Sonic is still officialy 15 look it up.


 * Sonic Jam says he's 16. Not sure if that means anything to anyone... It's-a me, the Ultimate Lifeform! But it's a secret to everybody... 21:11, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think that Gerations screwed up sonic's age.  All of the other games in the sonic series never mentioned his age (I think)  and I think it should stay that way so their Is no confusion.

 * The creator(s) of Sonic the Hedgehog may have been influenced by the famous Drive-in "Sonic" which was established in the 1950's in America.? The character not only shares the same name, but bares the exact color scheme: blue body, red sneakers, and yellow buckles.? It may be that Tails represents the yellow however and would explain why he was made Sonic's first and only sidekick.? Another interesting factor that supports this is the fact that "Sonic" is known for their hotdogs and chilidogs which just so happen to be Sonic's and Tails' favorite food.?

i have noticed that the road runner from the looney tunes cartoon is very similiar to sonic. Should this be added to trivia or not?
 * They both of blue fur/feathers.
 * Similiar hair
 * Both run fast
 * Both are cocky and cheerful
 * When they both run, their legs appear to be a red blure

No. It's uneeded. And the Road Runner is not cocky.

Who keeps saying Sonic is a Boss in Games? He is not. 21:52, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes he is. In different story modes of previous games, you have to fight him (As Shadow and Silver, SAdventure2, ShadtH, S'06). We had a discussion like this a while earlier, and it was approved of. 22:07, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Should we Combine the Stories for Sonic Colors on the Sonic page cause there is really no info that says they can't be melded into one the only changes would be mentioning his freinds and having the final battle aginst the Mother Wisp added in Cause that way we get full Knowledge of the events cause the DS version explains how he got so much Hyper Go On Energy so fast and plus the only to boss give us trouple and on the end we can say he fought the wii versions instead Sonamyfan666 11:54, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

I have to wonder... It seems that every time a new game is announced, especially Sonic 4: Episode 2, people start showing up to edit or sabatoge the pages. Any idea why? (Ghaleonh41 15:36, January 23, 2012 (UTC))

Did you guys get rid of the trivia section cause I can't seem to find it.

Ok, who removed the trivia section? Who removed it? Pinkolol16 A Sonic fan who cares  06:41, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, who. And just as importantly, who didn't notice that it was removed between February 13 and today until now!?--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 08:27, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, Kagi, the last date it was on before it was restored was February 22nd. Some vandal removed it and no one saw. >:( Pinkolol16  A Sonic fan who cares  14:27, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Sonic's Backstory
It IS known where Sonic got his speed. He met Dr. Ovi Kintobor, his good friend, who was creating a machine to supress all the evil on Mobius into Chaos Emeralds. He taught Sonic, who was originally brown, to run with a treadmill and eventually Sonic broke the sound barrier and became blue due to the cobalt effect.

A miscalculation with his machine (due to Sonic distracting him) caused Kintobor to become fused with all the negative energy and a rotten egg to become Ivo Robotnik, which also sent all the rings scattered across the planet.

This is easily attainable information, it was the the backstory of all the old Sonic comics and was retold in the annuals back in the 90s. How can you be running the Sonic wiki and not even bother to find out where sonic comes from?---by an Anon

that old info has be retconned and is no longer canon to the game continuity Ediskrad327 04:39, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Indeed, we are well aware of this information, but it has been retconned, if this was still canon, then explain Professor Gerald Robotnik.  Myself  123  12:50, June 26, 2012 (

Well, the comics are not canon.CamerontheFox88 (talk) 23:14, July 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * The comics are indeed canon, though in their own universe/set world. 23:16, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

Something I noticed...
It may or may not already be in the page, but I was reading TV Tropes and its pages for the Sonic series' "Crowning Moments of Awesome", and in the Sonic Battle section it mentioned how Sonic didn't waste time trying to save Emerl, and put him down before the world could be destroyed, doing so in under a minute. I'm well aware this article already mentions Sonic's determination and resolve, but being willing to do that should get a specific mention, should it not?--Kagi mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 05:40, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

Sonic had to stop Emerl quickly before he got a chance to destroy the Earth. I suppose it's worth a mention -- '<font color="Crimson">Murphyshane - <font color="#00b6ee"> 熱! <font color="#C0C0C0">Don't click here '  08:53, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

Needs to be checked/confirmed


We seriously need to see if this is true. We already knew about the cameo, but did we know that it was Sonic's first appearance period?--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 01:55, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

It's mentioned in the Sonic Cameos page, but not on the character page itself. That should be changed.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 02:12, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Categories
I don't get why Sonic isn't added on the list of bosses for certain games. I mean really, he was a boss in Sonic Adventure 2 when playing as Shadow, he was a boss in Sonic '06 when playing as Silver, and he was a boss in Sonic Rush when playing as Blaze. He should be on all of those category lists. Were-cow11 (talk) 22:53, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

We should really have pages for these specific battles.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  22:58, July 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * Agree, we should have pages for the specific boss battles, and they should be linked from the main character page (and the disambiguation page). Until the pages exist, I have no problem adding boss sections and categories to the main character page. -- Supermorff (talk) 08:22, August 1, 2012 (UTC)

What the- I was certain I put the "Bosses" category on this article.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 08:52, August 1, 2012 (UTC)

Visual Problems
I feel I should say that the low quality of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II clipart used to represent Sonic's page is pretty bad. I believe would should change it to high-quality piece of clipart of Sonic to show him in "his proper glory". Any picture from Sonic Channel, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors, or from Sonic Generations would properly represent Sonic in his modern look.

If people don't agree, can someone at least find a decent image of Sonic fromSonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II?

Where did the new icon for Sonic on the front page come from?
Just curious. Is there a new game coming out?

Sonic the hedgehog and noted instances of limited swimming ability.
Sonic the hedgehog does seem to posess extremely limited swimming capabilities through the canon-

Sonic X- he managed to attempt to mimic swimming well enough to save Amy from certain death

-this implies Sonic does have some knowledge of it.?

Also, if he in the Olympic Game series can kick with a life preserver- that further would hint that he can somewhat make a attempt at it- albiet only having sucessfully done it in the saving Amy instance and preferring a preserver or walking under water(or running on top) as usual/

Should instances like the above be noted? it shows he is 'capable' of a hack job of swimming.98.85.190.99 19:59, November 22, 2012 (UTC)? .98.85.190.99 19:59, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

There's a difference between swimming and struggling to swim. Both have occurred in Sonic's case. 20:01, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

other nicknames

Mr.Needlenose

I believe you mean Mr. Needlemouse, and that's not a nickname, that was the original game's project name. Also, please sign your posts with four tides ( ~ ) when leaving a message.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  02:35, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Ontological Paradox?
Something I noticed. Througout the story of Generations, Modern Sonic shows Classic Sonic many abilities, notably the Sonic Boost. Considering that Classic Sonic performs a mini Sonic Boost at the end of the game before he returns to his own time, could it be possible that the Homing Attack, along with certain other abilities are an ontological paradox? Sunglasses....Nuff said. (talk)


 * Maybe. -- Supermorff (talk) 20:34, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

I have obtained some info about his cameos in wreck it ralph. apparently, while I was playing the movie in slow motion, i found that Sonic is plugged to a game called Sonic the Fighters

The name given to the project to make sonic was project needle mouse.

Can someone add Sonic's line of warning video game characters not to die outside of their respective video arcade as a memorable quote?OrbAdventures (talk) 10:51, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * I thought quotes were supposed to be game-related...and even if they aren't, I don't think a cameo line would qualify. 13:06, April 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Cameo lines don't qualify as far as I know. 13:09, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
