OK, most of us know that Sonic's official age is 15, but he had a birthday in Generations. Plus, Classic Sonic appears to be much younger than Sonic of today. So how old is Sonic the Hedgehog? Here's my theory.

Let's start with what we know. From Sonic Adventure to Sonic Colors, Sonic's 15. If you add in that birthday, Sonic, as of Generations, is 16. Well what about Classic? Well Sonic 4 ep. II happened right before SA1, and Little Planet comes annually. The last time it came was Sonic CD. That means that 1 year passes between the games (I say that CD happened before the Death Egg Saga due to the fact that Robotnik wouldn't have the time to build/launch the Death Egg, conquer Little Planet BEFORE having the Death Egg crash onto Angel Island) in the Death Egg Saga, so it being right before Sonic Adventure, Sonic was 14 in those games. However, before those games, there was the original Sonic the Hedgehog, meaning that Sonic was 13 in his first game, meaning that, in their continuity, in their universe, the Sonic series has gone on for 3 years.This is backed up in SRZG when Eggman complains that the plan for his Empire had fallen through again, "after all these years", meaning that he must have been trying to build his empire for at least 2 years, which was when Sonic 1 occurred. Continuing off of SRZG, the instruction manual states that the game happened a few months after the original Sonic Riders, making 2 years in our world a few months in their world.
