Sonic the Hedgehog [a] is a fictional graphic symbol and the titular protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series published by Sega, as well as numerous spin-off comics, animations, and other media. Sonic is an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog who can run at supersonic speeds and curl into a ball, primarily to attack enemies. In most games, Sonic must race through levels, collecting ability-up rings and fugitive obstacles and enemies.

Programmer Yuji Naka and creative person Naoto Ohshima are generally credited with creating Sonic.[x] Most of the games are developed by Sonic Team. The original Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) was released to provide Sega with a mascot to rival Nintendo's flagship character Mario.[xi] [12] Sonic was redesigned by Yuji Uekawa for Sonic Adventure (1998), with a more mature expect designed to entreatment to older players.

Sonic is i of the world'southward best-known video game characters and a gaming icon. His serial had sold more 80 one thousand thousand copies by 2011.[13] In 2005, Sonic was ane of the get-go game graphic symbol inductees into the Walk of Game alongside Mario, Link, and Principal Master.[fourteen]

Origins and history

While Sega was seeking a flagship series to compete with Nintendo'southward Mario series, several grapheme designs were submitted by its research and development department. Many results came forth from their experiments with character design, including an armadillo (who was later adult into Mighty the Armadillo), a domestic dog, a Theodore Roosevelt look-alike in pajamas (who would later be the basis of Dr. Eggman'south design), and a rabbit (who would use its extendable ears to collect objects, an aspect afterwards incorporated in Ristar).[15] [sixteen] Naoto Ohshima took some of these internal designs with him on a trip to New York City and sought feedback past asking random passersby at Central Park their opinions; of the designs, the spiky teal hedgehog, initially codenamed "Mr. Hedgehog" ( ハリネズミ , Mr. Harinezumi ),[17] led this informal poll, followed by Eggman and the dog character. Ohshima felt that people selected it considering it "transcends race and gender and things similar that".[xviii] On render to Japan, Ohshima pitched this to the department, and the hedgehog was ultimately selected as the new mascot.

The detailed design of Sonic was aimed to be something that could be easily drawn by children and be familiar, as well equally exhibit a "cool" attitude, representative of the The states at the fourth dimension.[eighteen] Sonic's blue pigmentation was called to match Sega's cobalt bluish logo, and his shoes evolved from a blueprint inspired by both Santa Claus[19] and Michael Jackson'southward boots with the addition of the color red, which was inspired by the contrast of those colors on Jackson's 1987 album Bad; his personality was based on then-presidential candidate and after President of the U.s. Nib Clinton's "Get it done" attitude during the 1992 presidential campaign.[15] [20] [21] [22] To help sell the idea to Sega's higher-ups, Ohshima pitched the concept framed by a fictional fighter pilot that had earned the proper noun "Hedgehog" due to his spiky hair, and had decorated his plane with images of Sonic. When this airplane pilot retired, he married a children's volume writer, who wrote stories about the Sonic grapheme, the beginning which became the plot for the first Sonic game; Ohshima stated that this influence can be seen in the logo of the game, which features Sonic in a airplane pilot'southward wing keepsake.[eighteen]

The origins of Sonic can be traced further dorsum to a tech demo created by Yuji Naka, who had developed an algorithm that allowed a sprite to move smoothly on a bend past determining its position with a dot matrix. Naka'southward original image was a platform game that involved a fast-moving character rolling in a ball through a long winding tube, and this concept was subsequently fleshed out with Oshima's graphic symbol design and levels conceived by designer Hirokazu Yasuhara.[23]

Sonic was created without the power to swim because of a mistaken assumption by Yuji Naka that all hedgehogs could not exercise so.[24] A group of fifteen people started working on the get-go Sonic the Hedgehog game, and renamed themselves Sonic Team. The game's soundtrack was composed by Masato Nakamura of the ring Dreams Come True. Sega sponsored the group'south "Wonder iii" tour, painting Sonic on the bout bus, distributing pamphlets advertising the game, and having footage of the game broadcast above stage prior to its release.[25] The original concepts gave Sonic fangs and put him in a band with a human girlfriend named Madonna. However, a squad from Sega of America, led past Madeline Schroeder, who calls herself "Sonic's mother",[xv] "softened" the character up for an American audience by removing those elements. This sparked a heated upshot with Sonic Team. Naka subsequently admitted that it was probably for the best.[xv]

Sonic'south appearance varies greatly depending on the medium and the manner in which he is fatigued. In the video games, Sonic'due south original pattern by Oshima was brusque and circular, with short quills, a circular trunk, and no visible irises. Artwork featuring this design and drawn by Akira Watanabe was displayed on the package artwork for Sonic the Hedgehog.[26] Sonic's proportions would modify for the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Mega Drive; Sonic'southward head to height ratio was changed from 1:2 to 1:two.5.[26] For the 1998 release of Sonic Run a risk, Sonic was redesigned by Yuji Uekawa as a grapheme with longer legs and a less spherical body, longer and more drooping quills, and green-colored irises. For the 2006 game, Sonic was redesigned to brand him look developed-like and taller to appeal to the next generation players.[27] This was likewise done because Sonic would interact with humans more often and his design was supposed to fit.[28] An alternative "Werehog" form was introduced in Sonic Unleashed, placing more emphasis on Sonic's melee skills rather than speed. Although Tetsu Katano acknowledged the big negative fan response to the Werehog, he believes information technology could return in a future game.[29]

Bob Raffei, CEO of Sonic Smash programmer Big Red Push, stated that Sonic Blast 's Sonic is "very dissimilar... both in tone and art management".[30]

Vocalisation portrayal

Roger Craig Smith (pictured in July 2021) has been the vocalisation actor for the character in English language media since 2010.

Sonic originally had a few voice samples in Sonic CD, with designer Masato Nishimura providing the voice. Sonic'south first true voice actor was Takeshi Kusao for the arcade game SegaSonic the Hedgehog, with Junichi Kanemaru continually voicing the function start with the release of Sonic Run a risk.

Ken Balough, Sega's one-time associate brand manager, said that Sonic's appeal endured because the character is "a gaming fable, commencement and foremost" who originated "from a series of games that defined a generation in gaming history, and his iconic personality was the epitome of speed in the early '90s, pushing the limits of what gamers knew and expected from high-speed action and platforming games."[96]
