Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog is the main protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series and is SEGA's mascot. He is a supersonic, blue, teenage hedgehog. He has the ability to move faster than the speed of sound (768 mph, which is faster than Mach 1), with lightning reflexes to match (hence the name Sonic). He is a laid-back and cool-headed character. He is meant to symbolize peace. He is 15 years old, stands at 100 centimeters (3 ft 3 in), weighs 35 kilograms (77 lbs) and was born on Christmas Island. Artist Naoto Ōshima, designer Hirokazu Yasuhara and programmer Yuji Naka are generally credited with the creation of the character, a blue and-peach-skinned, green-eyed, anthropomorphic hedgehog, who has the ability to move faster than the speed of sound and possesses the ability to curl up into a ball (like a regular hedgehog), primarily to attack enemies. This is a major part of the gameplay of the series. g
