'''SegaSonic the Hedgehog''' was the name used for branding of the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series]] in Japan for the most part of the 1990s. [[Sega]] filed a trademark application for "Sonic" in December 1990, several months before the release of the now-famous [[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)|''Mega Drive'' game]]. In Japan at the time however, trademark applications could take up to three years for approval, and arcade rival [[Wikipedia:Taito|Taito]] already had the arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic Blast Man|Sonic Blast Man]]''.
{{nihongo|'''Metal Sonic'''|メタルソニック|Metaru Sonikku}} is the secondary antagonist of the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|'' Sonic the Hedgehog'' series]]. He is an evil [[Badnik]] version of [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and undoubtedly [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman's]] deadliest creation, built for the sole purpose of destroying Sonic. Deployed during Eggman's operations on [[Little Planet]], Metal Sonic confronted Sonic in battle and lost, though he would repeatedly return to challenge Sonic and his allies. Modeled with extreme accuracy after Sonic, Metal Sonic not only resembles his template but can also imitate his moves and achieve velocities matching and even exceeding those of Sonic's.

Likely to avoid conflicting with Taito, Sega used "SegaSonic" for branding of its arcade games in the meantime. This lead to Sega's arcade games such as ''[[SegaSonic the Hedgehog]]'', ''[[SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter]]'' and ''[[SegaSonic Popcorn Shop]]'' to use the SegaSonic branding. It was also used for merchandise of the series such as clothing, household items, and plush toys, likely for consistency.
While usually serving as Eggman's obedient and silent enforcer, Metal Sonic is an intelligent machine with a very dark side. A cold-hearted, aggressive and ruthless killer, he is obsessed with proving his superiority to Sonic and eliminating him for good to the point where he has rebelled against Eggman more than once to achieve his goal. However, he always fails in the end. To this day, Metal Sonic continues to be one of Sonic's most formidable foes.
