''' | '''Sonic the Hedgehog''' ({{ja|ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ|Sonikku za Hejjihoggu}}, ''Sonic the Hedgehog'') is the main character of the [[Sonic (universe)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'']] games and the mascot of [[Sega]]. Sonic was first introduced by Sega in 1991 in the game ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' to combat [[Nintendo]]'s mascot, [[Mario]]. He is often thought of as Mario's unofficial rival, although they have appeared in games together. Alongside [[Solid Snake]], he is a third-party character that made his ''Super Smash Bros.'' debut in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Sonic was announced to make a return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' during a Nintendo Direct on October 1, 2013. | ||
== | ==Description== | ||
Sonic is a male, 15 year-old, anthropomorphic hedgehog. He has spiky blue hair, green eyes, and red and white running shoes with gold buckles. He is only one meter (3ft, 3in) tall, though his height is noticeably increased for his appearances in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. As his name suggests, he is capable of running at supersonic speeds. The self-described "coolest, blue hedgehog alive," he has a bit of an attitude and is impatient, but cannot resist helping someone in need. He values freedom above all else and constantly campaigns to free animals imprisoned by the evil Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. Generally speaking, Sonic loves being able to do what he wants and loathes being constrained. He gathers golden rings for energy, and when he collects the seven Chaos Emeralds, he becomes [[Super Sonic]], with yellow fur and red eyes, capable of flight. Most of the time, every challenge he faces seems enjoyable to him; another chance to get moving. However, he does take time to relax once in a while. Early Western profiles sometimes portrayed Sonic as being from the fictional planet Mobius, while Japanese profiles (which Western territories would follow starting in 1999 with ''Sonic Adventure'') state that his birthplace is {{s|wikipedia|Christmas Island}}, a real world dependent territory of {{s|wikipedia|Australia}}. | |||
