Sonic the Hedgehog


Sonic the Hedgehog is the main character of the series and debuted on the game of the same name. He's a blue hedgehog and is generally regarded as one of the most popular video game characters of all time. He's best known for his speed, which overtime seems to have increased. His first appearance alongside Nintendo characters (without bashing Sega) was in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for the Wii, though his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl unarguably made a bigger splash among fans. Sega and Nintendo's partnership with the two aforementioned games, among many others (such as the Triforce arcade system), signifies to a great extent just how far the two companies' relationship have come in comparison to 10 years ago when they were competing for the top spot.
