||
| − | '''Sonic the Hedgehog''' is the main protagonist of the anime series ''[[Sonic X]]''. Much like [[Sonic the Hedgehog|his game counterpart]], he is lightning fast on his feet, but super slow to lose his cool, Sonic is always revved up and ready for a run-in with his archenemy, [[Doctor Eggman (Sonic X)|Doctor Eggman]] whenever he tries to cause trouble to the world to show his heroic deeds. Sonic's fear of water is even more present in the series than in the video games. |
||
| + | During a conflict with Eggman, Sonic was transported along with his friends, by [[Chaos Control (Sonic X)|Chaos Control]], from their [[Sonic's world (Sonic X)|home planet]] to an alternate planet, [[Earth (Sonic X)|Earth]]. Lost and alone in this new world, he was saved from drowning in a pool by [[Chris Thorndyke]], and the kind youngster allowed the heroes to take refuge at his [[Thorndyke Estate|home]] as they defended their new residence from the evil plots of Dr. Eggman. After many adventures, Sonic eventually returned home, where he would save his universe from the [[Metarex]]. |
||
| − | ==History== |
||
| − | ===A Brand New World=== |
||
| − | Sonic hails from an unnamed world in a parallel dimension to [[Earth]]. His back-story is a mystery but it's known that he befriended Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream and Cheese and many small animals as well as constantly fending off Dr. Eggman's attempts at conquering the world. One day, he attempted to rescue his friends [[Cream the Rabbit (Sonic X)|Cream the Rabbit]] and her [[Chao]] friend [[Cheese (Sonic X)|Cheese]] from Dr. Eggman as well as foil the doctor's latest plot to control the world with the power of the seven [[Chaos Emeralds]]. Unfortunately, an accident initiated [[Chaos Control]], which transported Sonic, Eggman, all of Sonic's friends, and a few others within a ten mile radius to Earth. On Earth, Sonic befriended [[Chris Thorndyke]], who rescued him from drowning in a swimming pool and then allowed Sonic, [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Sonic X)|Miles "Tails" Prower]], [[Amy Rose (Sonic X)|Amy Rose]], Cream and Cheese to stay hidden with him in his house. He also forged a friendly rivalry with Chris' second uncle [[Sam Speed]], a cop who chases criminals in a race car. He is initially hidden in Chris' home and boggles the human race with his being; people think he's an alien or machine. While Sonic was mostly covert, Eggman made himself known as he tried to conquer the new world. Sonic eventually destroys Eggman's first base and is hailed as a hero along with all of his friends. Sonic destroys Eggman's [[Egg Fort II|second base]] (which transformed into [[E-99 Eggsterminator|a powerful robot]]) by becoming [[Super Sonic (Sonic X)|Super Sonic]] by finally gathering all the Chaos Emeralds after Chris dropped them into the ocean, causing Chaos Control to bring some aspects of his world, like [[Angel Island]], to Earth. |
||
| + | ==Appearance== |
||
| − | ===Fighting for Earth=== |
||
| + | Sonic is a slim anthropomorphic hedgehog with blue fur that covered most of his body, peach skin that covered his arms, muzzle, inner ears and front torso. He has emerald-green eyes, a black nose, and small, triangular ears on the top of his head. He also has three long quills on the back of his head, two spines protruding from his back behind his shoulders, and a short, pointy tail. |
||
| − | Following the Chaos Control incident, the adaptations of ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' and ''[[Sonic Battle]]'' took place (in order), mirroring most of the events of their respective games. After that, it was discovered that Sonic's world and Earth were merging (possibly due to Sonic bringing parts of his world to Earth) which would lead to the stopping of time. The only way to save both planets was to return Sonic and his friends home. After everyone but Sonic had went through, Chris took him away, eventually to his parents old summer home. Chris tells Sonic how much he will miss him and how much of a friend the hedgehog was. Sonic gathers the Chaos Emeralds and after taking Chris for one final run, returns to his home universe. |
||
| + | For attire, Sonic wears two [[Sonic's sneakers|light-weight, hyper friction resistant red sneakers with white cuffs around the ankles, gray soles, and white straps across the top, the last of which were held down by a gold buckle on each foot]]. He also wears a pair of white gloves with sock-like cuffs on his hands. |
||
| − | Upon returning, Super Sonic easily destroys Eggman's latest battleship, saves Tails and then meets Amy, giving her a rose and telling her that he will never leave/loves her (English/French versions respectively) while in the Japanese version what he says to her is muted out for speculative and dramatic purposes (although it was implied by Amy during the next series that he said that he missed her a lot.) |
||
| + | ==Personality== |
||
| − | ===Universal Roaming=== |
||
| + | Sonic is a habitual daredevil who is kind, funny, loyal, honest to his friends, keeps his promises, and dislikes tears. He took the young [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Sonic X)|Tails]] under his wing like a little brother. He is mostly seen napping, running towards an adventure or thwarting Dr. Eggman's attempts at world domination. In times of crisis, though, he focuses intensely on the challenge as if his personality has undergone an astonishing change, and mostly he is fearless. |
||
| − | Six months later, Super Sonic battles [[Dark Oak]], the leader of an alien/robot race called the "[[Metarex]]" in outer space. Unable to defeat Dark Oak, he spreads the Chaos Emeralds throughout space and falls back to the planet. He is found and nursed back to health by Dr. Eggman. A plant-like alien girl named "[[Cosmo the Seedrian|Cosmo]]" lets him know that the Metarex are taking over the galaxy by stealing a "Planet Egg" from each planet they can find. The heroes recovered the Chaos Emeralds in a space journey using some elements of ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' and ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' as well as curing every planet. |
||
| − | As the role of the main villain has been completely taken over by the Metarex, Eggman, [[Rouge the Bat (Sonic X)|Rouge]] and [[Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic X)|Shadow]] mainly sided with the heroes against the Metarex threat. |
||
| + | In some instances, Sonic is shown to be an isolationist and slightly antisocial as he is the kind of person "that needed a lot of privacy," preferring to be alone either by napping, looking at the horizon, or going on an adventure alone for a few minutes or for over six months; ignoring his friends when engaging in conversation or going on an adventure themselves to a location he was to. Also, Sonic is a nature lover, seeing as he preferred to be outdoors than indoors and take the time to smell the flowers and enjoy life. |
||
| − | In the end, with the help of every hero especially Cosmo who sadly sacrifices herself, Super Sonic and [[Super Shadow (Sonic X)|Super Shadow]] finally destroy Dark Oak for good and they all return home with every Planet Egg the Metarex captured returning to their respective planets. Sonic watches as Chris is flown away back to Earth and declares war on Eggman for making Chris leave so soon. He says "I'll never forgive you, Eggman!" ("Life never stays slow around here for long, thank goodness! Watch out, Eggman, I'm comin' at ya full speed ahead!" in the English version). In this season, Sonic seems to care about Amy a lot more than in Seasons 1 and 2. |
||
| + | Despite his positive attitude and strong need for privacy, Sonic displays some loneliness when he first arrived on Earth, believing that he was the only one being transported without his friends and felt sad about it for a moment.<ref name="SXEP1">{{Cite episode |title=[[Chaos Control Freaks]] |series=[[Sonic X]] |season=1 |number=1 |first=Hiro |last=Masaki |date=23 August 2003}}</ref> Sonic has also shown himself as a bit of a trickster, as seen when he was stuck on a cruise with his friends, where he manipulated the others to return back by deceiving them that their loved ones at home were missing them. |
||
| − | ==Personality== |
||
| − | Sonic is a habitual daredevil who is honest, loyal to friends, keeps his promises and dislikes tears. He took the young [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Sonic X)|Tails]] under his wing like a little brother. Even though he isn't intrigued by the marital proposals from [[Amy Rose (Sonic X)|Amy Rose]], he seems to share her feelings to the point of telling her that he loves her in the French version of episode 52. With Knuckles, he shares a friendly rivalry (similar to the original games), but the two can be great teammates, though Sonic simply can't resist teasing him whenever he has the chance to. Even though he meets Chris at the beginning of the series, he quickly becomes his friend and treats him like a younger brother similar to Tails. He is mostly seen napping, watching television, running towards an adventure or stop Doctor Eggman with his plans of world domination. |
||
| + | ==Powers and abilities== |
||
| − | In times of crisis, he focuses intensely on the challenge as if his personality had undergone an astonishing change most of the time. |
||
| + | [[File:Sonic running in Sonic X.png|thumb|225px|left|Sonic running at full speed.]] |
||
| + | Sonic's greatest skill is his running speed with the ability to reach supersonic speeds. While his top speed is unknown, it was confirmed that he could run much more than the speed of sound and achieve speeds greater than that of a lightning bolt.<ref name="SXEP72">{{Cite episode|title=[[Zelkova Strikes Back]] |series=[[Sonic X]] |season=3 |number=72 |first=Kiyoko |last=Yoshimura |date=18 March 2006}}</ref> Having nearly limitless stamina, Sonic is able to run for an entire day without stopping.<ref name="SXEP24">{{Cite episode|title= [[How to Catch a Hedgehog]] |series= [[Sonic X]] |season= 1 |number= 24 |first1= Masahiko |last1= Shiraishi |date= 13 March 2004}}</ref> He can also run backwards at full speed just as well as forwards and over water.<ref name="SXEP1"/><ref name="SX#14">[[Archie Sonic X Issue 14|''Sonic X'' #14]], "Hare-um Scare-um! - Part Two"</ref> In line with his speed, he is a master of rapid response,<ref name="myvortexx profile"/> having astonishingly quick reflexes and capable or running on walls and buildings.

He can even survive atmospheric entry. Sonic is also extremely agile and acrobatic, capable of jumping hundreds of meters, doing acrobatic moves, and adding his speed with his jump to achieve more height in the air. He has incredible reflexes to match his speed, capable of catching a miniature missile and dodging lasers with ease.<ref name="SXEP50">{{Cite episode|title=[[Running Out of Time]] |series=[[Sonic X]] |season=2 |number=50 |first=Chinatsu |last=Hōjō |date=19 March 2005}}</ref> |
||
| − | ==Powers and Abilities== |
||
| + | Sonic is able to draw [[Chaos energy (Sonic X)|chaos energy]] from the [[Chaos Emerald (Sonic X)|Chaos Emeralds]] to further empower himself and even gain new abilities; with two Emeralds, he gains high-speed flight and immense strength which he used to level [[Doctor Eggman's Fortress|Eggman's fortress]]. Also, after seeing Shadow performing it, Sonic learned to induce [[Chaos Control (Sonic X)|Chaos Control]] with just one Emerald to bend time and space to his will, allowing him to literally teleport from one place to another instantaneously. |
||
| − | Sonic's greatest strength is his running speed, which is much faster than the speed of sound with quick reflexes. He appears as a blue blur when he runs. He can use the Spin Attack like in the games and appears in 3D, in this state he can break through virtually anything and a [[Power Ring|ring]] can increase his power similar to [[Sonic SatAM]]. He is also incredibly resilient as he has been thrown through buildings and nearly been crushed by Eggman's larger robots, yet leaps back into the fray immediately afterwards. |
||
| + | [[File:J'4.PNG|thumb|225px|Sonic's [[Spin Attack (Sonic X)|Spin Attack]], from "[[A Cosmic Call]]".]] |
||
| − | When seven Chaos Emeralds are collected, he is able to transform into [[Super Sonic]], a faster, stronger and invulnerable version of himself that can fly, teleport and move faster than the speed of light. He can also heal people with a touch. He has used the Super Sonic form against [[Perfect Chaos]], [[Biolizard]], Eggman, [[Dark Oak]] and [[Super Shadow]]. |
||
| + | Sonic's main move is the [[Spin Attack (Sonic X)|Spin Attack]], which is powerful enough to break through virtually anything. When harnessing a [[Ring (Sonic X)|Ring]], Sonic enters "Super Spin Mode" which greatly amplifies his Spin Attack's power and turns him into a nearly unstoppable and all-piercing projectile. Also, without using his Spin Attack, Sonic is highly adept in hand-to-hand combat skills, as shown to be able to fight Knuckles, Shadow, and [[Metarex Spike]] in close combat, able to fight against his powerful foes with his own close quarter combat. |

||
| + | With the seven [[Chaos Emerald (Sonic X)|Chaos Emeralds]], Sonic can transform into '''Super Sonic'''. In this state, Sonic possesses infinite speed and strength, is capable of flight, is virtually invulnerable, and has access to [[Chaos Powers]]. He can also heal people with a touch. |

||
| + | |||
| + | ==Weakness== |
||
| + | Sonic is unable to swim and would sink like a stone in water, which can be due to aquaphobia. On some occasions, Sonic can avoid his weakness by running on water (including with his [[Hover Shoes (Sonic X)|Hover Shoes]]) or by wearing respirators when going underwater. |

Sonic has been grateful to Chris ever since their first meeting where he rescued a drowning Sonic and decided to let Sonic and his friends live with him in his [[Thorndyke Mansion|mansion]].

||
| + | While Sonic and [[Knuckles the Echidna (Sonic X)|Knuckles]] are also best friends, they share a rivalry with each other and as a result, the two can sometimes be seen fighting over each other. Their battles are sometimes heated as Sonic's speed paralleled the extent of Knuckles' strength, although their battles were always tied and/or interrupted, leaving the suspense to the question on which of the two was stronger. However, the two could be powerful teammates and aid each other, being able to take on powerful foes together. |
||
| + | |||
| + | When Knuckles fought on the hedgehog on Earth, Sonic did not take much interest in seriously fighting with Knuckles and instead wanted a general conversation with a smug face at first before Knuckles moved in for the first attack. Sonic generally was reluctant to attack him while making fun of Knuckles. When Knuckles realized that Dr. Eggman intended him to fight Sonic was a result of his gullible nature, Sonic and Knuckles instead worked together and fought off his robot [[E-47 Pumpty]] and rescued Sonic's friends who were trapped inside, fixing their friendship once more.<ref name="SXEP5">{{Cite episode|title= [[Cracking Knuckles]] |series= [[Sonic X]] |season= 1 |number= 5 |first1= Kiyoko |last1= Yoshimura |date= 4 October 2003}}</ref> |

||
| + | Sonic and [[Amy Rose (Sonic X)|Amy Rose]] are also close friends with each other, but Amy believes herself to be Sonic's girlfriend, much to Sonic's dismay, as her constant romantic advances make him uncomfortable and he does not enjoy Amy giving him hugs and kisses. However, there are times where Sonic seems to care for Amy a lot such as when he dived into the water to rescue Amy from drowning despite his fear of water. He often became protective of her and even went along with a lot of her love schemes in hopes of keeping her happy. In one case, Sonic actually agreed to take Amy out on a date.<ref name="SX#16">[[Archie Sonic X Issue 16|''Sonic X'' #16]], "Valentine's Fray"</ref> |

||
| + | Sonic and [[Doctor Eggman (Sonic X)|Dr. Eggman]] are arch-enemies, with Sonic always defeating Eggman and stopping his plots of world domination. Sonic is usually frank or taunting towards Eggman and showed full confidence that he can spoil his plans no matter what. Sonic sometimes does not take Eggman's plans seriously and will almost always seize the opportunity to tease him. |
||
| + | |||
| + | There are moments where Eggman and Sonic had to join forces in order to stop a worse threat to the world. When Sonic, Eggman and the others discovered that Gerald Robotnik planned to have the ARK crash onto the Earth, the two worked together to prevent the collision. Eggman also sided with Sonic and his friends when they had to stop the Metarex's plans of achieving galactic domination. |

||
| + | [[File:Ep35 Sonic vs. Shadow 1.png|thumb|225px|left|Sonic fighting [[Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic X)|Shadow]], from "[[Sonic's Big Break]]".]] |
||
| + | Sonic sees [[Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic X)|Shadow the Hedgehog]] as another rival to him, but unlike with Knuckles, their clashes are more volatile. Every time Sonic fights Shadow, he knows that he could not waste time joking with him or else he would be quickly defeated. Though they had their differences, both Sonic and Shadow would put them aside whenever they faced an enemy greater than they could handle alone. |
||
| + | |||
| + | The two of them started out as enemies since Sonic was arrested by the military forces due to being mistaken as Shadow and getting severely beaten by him in their first fight. During the times they fought again, Sonic would engage him with absolute focus. However, when Shadow arrived to help them stop the [[Space Colony ARK (Sonic X)|Space Colony ARK]] from colliding with Earth, Sonic put their differences aside, and together they saved the planet. When meeting Shadow again after his supposed demise, Sonic held a better attitude about him and acknowledged his strength even when they fought opposite sides during the war with the [[Metarex]]. During their battles, Sonic would even try to persuade Shadow into leaving Eggman's side. |

Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity. |
Sonic the Hedgehog (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ Sonikku za Hejjihoggu?) is the titular main protagonist of the anime series Sonic X and its comic series published by Archie Comics. Lightning fast on his feet, but super-slow to lose his cool, Sonic is always revved up and ready for a run-in with his archenemy, Dr. Eggman whenever he tries to cause trouble to the world to show his heroic deeds.[9]
During a conflict with Eggman, Sonic was transported along with his friends, by Chaos Control, from their home planet to an alternate planet, Earth. Lost and alone in this new world, he was saved from drowning in a pool by Chris Thorndyke, and the kind youngster allowed the heroes to take refuge at his home as they defended their new residence from the evil plots of Dr. Eggman. After many adventures, Sonic eventually returned home, where he would save his universe from the Metarex.
Appearance
Sonic is a slim anthropomorphic hedgehog with blue fur that covered most of his body, peach skin that covered his arms, muzzle, inner ears and front torso. He has emerald-green eyes, a black nose, and small, triangular ears on the top of his head. He also has three long quills on the back of his head, two spines protruding from his back behind his shoulders, and a short, pointy tail.
For attire, Sonic wears two light-weight, hyper friction resistant red sneakers with white cuffs around the ankles, gray soles, and white straps across the top, the last of which were held down by a gold buckle on each foot. He also wears a pair of white gloves with sock-like cuffs on his hands.
Personality
Sonic is a habitual daredevil who is kind, funny, loyal, honest to his friends, keeps his promises, and dislikes tears. He took the young Tails under his wing like a little brother. He is mostly seen napping, running towards an adventure or thwarting Dr. Eggman's attempts at world domination. In times of crisis, though, he focuses intensely on the challenge as if his personality has undergone an astonishing change, and mostly he is fearless.
In some instances, Sonic is shown to be an isolationist and slightly antisocial as he is the kind of person "that needed a lot of privacy," preferring to be alone either by napping, looking at the horizon, or going on an adventure alone for a few minutes or for over six months; ignoring his friends when engaging in conversation or going on an adventure themselves to a location he was to. Also, Sonic is a nature lover, seeing as he preferred to be outdoors than indoors and take the time to smell the flowers and enjoy life.
Despite his positive attitude and strong need for privacy, Sonic displays some loneliness when he first arrived on Earth, believing that he was the only one being transported without his friends and felt sad about it for a moment.[10] Sonic has also shown himself as a bit of a trickster, as seen when he was stuck on a cruise with his friends, where he manipulated the others to return back by deceiving them that their loved ones at home were missing them.
Powers and abilities
Sonic running at full speed.
Sonic's greatest skill is his running speed with the ability to reach supersonic speeds. While his top speed is unknown, it was confirmed that he could run much more than the speed of sound and achieve speeds greater than that of a lightning bolt.[11] Having nearly limitless stamina, Sonic is able to run for an entire day without stopping.[12] He can also run backwards at full speed just as well as forwards and over water.[10][13] In line with his speed, he is a master of rapid response,[9] having astonishingly quick reflexes and capable or running on walls and buildings. Sonic's speed is so great that he was shown to easily outrun Sam's Rocket Car.[14]
Sonic displays great physical strength; he can smash robots with his bare hands, carry two steel girders while running,[15] and is able to push E-18 Guerra-Hard away when it had him pinned against a wall, albeit with a great deal of effort.[16] His legs are very powerful as well, capable of destroying a ghost-enchanted wall that Amy's Piko Piko Hammer was incapable of damaging.[17] Sonic possesses amazing durability; he survived getting smashed through buildings, hit by missiles, and beaten to a pulp by the E-99 Eggsterminator while powered by the six Chaos Emeralds. He can even survive atmospheric entry. Sonic is also extremely agile and acrobatic, capable of jumping hundreds of meters, doing acrobatic moves, and adding his speed with his jump to achieve more height in the air. He has incredible reflexes to match his speed, capable of catching a miniature missile and dodging lasers with ease.[18]
Sonic is able to draw chaos energy from the Chaos Emeralds to further empower himself and even gain new abilities; with two Emeralds, he gains high-speed flight and immense strength which he used to level Eggman's fortress. Also, after seeing Shadow performing it, Sonic learned to induce Chaos Control with just one Emerald to bend time and space to his will, allowing him to literally teleport from one place to another instantaneously.
Sonic's Spin Attack, from "A Cosmic Call".
Sonic's main move is the Spin Attack, which is powerful enough to break through virtually anything. When harnessing a Ring, Sonic enters "Super Spin Mode" which greatly amplifies his Spin Attack's power and turns him into a nearly unstoppable and all-piercing projectile. Also, without using his Spin Attack, Sonic is highly adept in hand-to-hand combat skills, as shown to be able to fight Knuckles, Shadow, and Metarex Spike in close combat, able to fight against his powerful foes with his own close quarter combat.
Equipment
During the Metarex wars, Sonic utilized different kits for his shoes created by Christopher Thorndyke. By connecting the kits to his shoes, Sonic is able to access new abilities and bolster his skills in otherwise disadvantageous environments. He also utilized an aerial snowboard for transportation above ice and combat.[19][20]
Transformations
Super Sonic
Super Sonic, from "Countdown to Chaos".
With the seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic can transform into Super Sonic. In this state, Sonic possesses infinite speed and strength, is capable of flight, is virtually invulnerable, and has access to Chaos Powers. He can also heal people with a touch.
Dark Sonic
Sonic once gained a dark transformation when being exposed to counterfeit Chaos Emeralds or intense anger named Dark Sonic.[21] In this state, while his strength and speed abilities were enhanced greatly, Sonic also developed a somewhat uncontrollable rage.
Weakness
Sonic is unable to swim and would sink like a stone in water, which can be due to aquaphobia. On some occasions, Sonic can avoid his weakness by running on water (including with his Hover Shoes) or by wearing respirators when going underwater.
Relationships
Miles "Tails" Prower
Sonic and Tails out on an adventure, from "Satellite Swindle".
Miles "Tails" Prower is Sonic's best friend and side-kick, sharing a brotherly-like relationship with one another. During their first meeting, Sonic saw Tails tinkering with the Tornado and was impressed with Tails' work and agreed to become friends with Tails.[22] Tails frequently helps Sonic whenever he left to stop Dr. Eggman, normally as the pilot of the Tornado 2 or X Tornado to escort Sonic to the situation.
Christopher Thorndyke
Sonic taking off with Chris on his back, from "A New Start".
Like Tails, Sonic and Christopher Thorndyke are close friends with each other like brothers. Sonic has been grateful to Chris ever since their first meeting where he rescued a drowning Sonic and decided to let Sonic and his friends live with him in his mansion. As their friendship grew over time, Chris began to deeply care for Sonic to the point where he doesn't want him to return to his home world.
When Sonic and his friends were finally able to return home via a dimensional portal, Chris deactivated the portal to prevent Sonic from going home and the two ventured to a faraway place.[18][23] During this trip, Sonic saw Chris in situations where he needed help but surprisingly, Chris did not want it. Arriving at their location, Sonic expressed to Chris that he did not mind which world he chose to reside in. Chris finally came into terms with his own feelings and realized that Sonic had to go. Although Sonic understood that his friend would be lonely without him, he expressed hope that one day, they would see each other again.[23]
Knuckles the Echidna
Sonic fighting with Knuckles, from "Cracking Knuckles".
While Sonic and Knuckles are also best friends, they share a rivalry with each other and as a result, the two can sometimes be seen fighting over each other. Their battles are sometimes heated as Sonic's speed paralleled the extent of Knuckles' strength, although their battles were always tied and/or interrupted, leaving the suspense to the question on which of the two was stronger. However, the two could be powerful teammates and aid each other, being able to take on powerful foes together.
When Knuckles fought on the hedgehog on Earth, Sonic did not take much interest in seriously fighting with Knuckles and instead wanted a general conversation with a smug face at first before Knuckles moved in for the first attack. Sonic generally was reluctant to attack him while making fun of Knuckles. When Knuckles realized that Dr. Eggman intended him to fight Sonic was a result of his gullible nature, Sonic and Knuckles instead worked together and fought off his robot E-47 Pumpty and rescued Sonic's friends who were trapped inside, fixing their friendship once more.[24]
Amy Rose
Sonic handing Amy Rose a pink rose, from "A New Start".
Sonic and Amy Rose are also close friends with each other, but Amy believes herself to be Sonic's girlfriend, much to Sonic's dismay, as her constant romantic advances make him uncomfortable and he does not enjoy Amy giving him hugs and kisses. However, there are times where Sonic seems to care for Amy a lot such as when he dived into the water to rescue Amy from drowning despite his fear of water. He often became protective of her and even went along with a lot of her love schemes in hopes of keeping her happy. In one case, Sonic actually agreed to take Amy out on a date.[25]
Cream the Rabbit

Dr. Eggman
Sonic and Eggman's rivalry, from "A Dastardly Deed".
Sonic and Dr. Eggman are arch-enemies, with Sonic always defeating Eggman and stopping his plots of world domination. Sonic is usually frank or taunting towards Eggman and showed full confidence that he can spoil his plans no matter what. Sonic sometimes does not take Eggman's plans seriously and will almost always seize the opportunity to tease him.
There are moments where Eggman and Sonic had to join forces in order to stop a worse threat to the world. When Sonic, Eggman and the others discovered that Gerald Robotnik planned to have the ARK crash onto the Earth, the two worked together to prevent the collision. Eggman also sided with Sonic and his friends when they had to stop the Metarex's plans of achieving galactic domination.
Shadow the Hedgehog
Sonic fighting Shadow, from "Sonic's Big Break".
Sonic sees Shadow the Hedgehog as another rival to him, but unlike with Knuckles, their clashes are more volatile. Every time Sonic fights Shadow, he knows that he could not waste time joking with him or else he would be quickly defeated. Though they had their differences, both Sonic and Shadow would put them aside whenever they faced an enemy greater than they could handle alone.
The two of them started out as enemies since Sonic was arrested by the military forces due to being mistaken as Shadow and getting severely beaten by him in their first fight. During the times they fought again, Sonic would engage him with absolute focus. However, when Shadow arrived to help them stop the Space Colony ARK from colliding with Earth, Sonic put their differences aside, and together they saved the planet. When meeting Shadow again after his supposed demise, Sonic held a better attitude about him and acknowledged his strength even when they fought opposite sides during the war with the Metarex. During their battles, Sonic would even try to persuade Shadow into leaving Eggman's side.

Dark Oak
Sonic interacted with Dark Oak several times. Although Sonic did not give the alien much thought at the beginning, Sonic would later display a deep loathing toward Dark Oak for forcing him to scatter the Chaos Emeralds across the galaxy.[26] However, during his imprisonment in Final Mova's dreamscape, Sonic threw his anger aside and toyed with Dark Oak's minions, all while refusing the offer for a new life given to him by the Metarex.[27]
In the Japanese dub, Sonic had a final conversation with the deceased Dark Oak through a tree, where they discussed their different ideologies. Afterwards, Sonic replied, "Good night, have sweet dreams," before running away, making Dark Oak chuckle faintly.[28]
