Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic Boom)

"Super-fast with a passion for adventure."

- Sonic Boom Official Website

Sonic the Hedgehog is the main protagonist of the upcoming TV series, Sonic Boom.

Concept and Creation
Development for Sonic's redesign went through a long process before the developers decided to stick with the "Scarf Sonic" design.

Appearance
Retaining most of his appearance from his main series video game counterpart, Sonic has blue fur all around his body, with minor exceptions such as his chest and muzzle. He sports a brown scarf and has straps of linen on his hands, parts of his arms, and around his feet. Unlike his previous incarnations, his arms are also covered in blue fur. He has some cowlick-like spikes that stick out from his quills and his shoes are kept locked on by straps of linen lined on his legs. Sonic also appears to be much slimmer than his video game counterpart, making him tall and lanky.

Personality
Sonic is noted for having a passion for adventure. He is full of self-confidence, cocky, quick-witted, and takes challenges and his opponents light-hearted. He also has a lot of attitude, showing a lot of sarcasm and sassiness, and a narcissistic tongue. However, when the situation calls for it or his friends are in trouble, Sonic can be serious and will immediately try to come to their aid.

Powers and Abilities
Sonic's most notable skill is his ability to move at super speed, allowing him to run at speeds greater than Mach 1. Though his exact top speed is unknown, he can move fast enough to create a sonic boom without effort.

In line with his speed, Sonic has significant acrobatic skills and agility, sufficient enough to perform perfect synchronized mid-air movements. He also has extremely quick reflexes, being able to react instantly to avoid dangers and enhanced jumping skills, allowing him to jump very high into the air.

Sonic Boom (game)
Sonic also appears in the Sonic Boom video game. The game serves as a prequel to the TV series, where Sonic and his friends Tails, Amy and Knuckles come to an unknown island to battle an ancient evil. Sonic is one of the four playable characters in the game, the others being Tails, Amy and Knuckles. In the game, Sonic enters high-speed running sections and can use moves such as the Homing Attack.
