Description: Sonic is well known for his incredible speed and agility, and he can't get enough of adventures. While at first Sonic may seem to be impatient and un-caring, there's no denying that he will stop at nothing to help anyone out. Sonic's not one for being in the public eye - he'd rather be relaxing by the beach or speeding off looking for adventure. Sonic's best pal is his sidekick Tails, and has a 'healthy' rivalry with Knuckles. He'd rather avoid Amy as much as possible; In his eyes, she's more trouble than she's worth. Sonic has dedicated his life to stopping his nemesis Eggman (A.K.A. Dr. Robotnik) from obtaining the precious Chaos Emeralds and trying to rule the world. Wherever Eggman appears, Sonic is there to take him down. Whenever Sonic isn't saving the world, relaxing or tearing through the countryside at supersonic speed, he may be exploring in his bi-plane, the Tornado. This is actually how he met his best pal, Tails.

Special
moves:
'Spin attack' - Sonic curls into a ball and rams his target
with his spikes.
(In Sonic Advance, the spin attack move refers to where Sonic makes an insta
shield - like barrier that gives Sonic a greater surface area, meaning that
he is more likely to hit his target. It doesn't make him invulnerable)
'Spin dash' - Sonic builds up speed rolling in place, then
releases himself in a high-speed spin across the ground.
'Insta shield' - Sonic produces a shield to protect himself
for a split second while jumping.
'Super peel out' - Sonic builds up his running speed on the
spot, then breaks into a high-speed dash.
'Homing attack' - (used in 3D games) Sonic homes in on items
and enemies, making his jumps more accurate.
'Somersault' - Sonic performs a somersault, which can be
used to attack enemies/boxes and slide past small areas (A combo of three
somersaults will result in a sliding kick).
'Grinding' - Sonic makes like a skateboarder and grinds down
rails (or anything resembling a rail).
'Chaos Control' - Sonic can warp time and space to transport
to a different location at incredible speeds. He needs a Chaos Emerald (or
fake Emerald - see Sonic Adventure 2) to do this.
'Light dash'* - Sonic moves across a line
of rings (can be used to cover wide gaps).
'Light attack'* - Sonic attacks a line of enemies at light
speed.
'Bounce attack'* - Sonic bounces on the floor mid-jump. These
bounces can be used to get to high places.
* - A special item must be obtained to use these moves
Profession:
None, apart from saving the world.
First appearance: Sonic the Hedgehog (Mega Drive/Genesis)
Cameos: Tennis, Soleil, Christmas NiGHTS, Bug!, The Shenmue series, Chaotix, Phantasy Star Online
Useless Info: Sonic certainly has got around. He has a gene named after him (The 'Sonic gene', so named due to it's spikey shape, is related to baldness), had three American TV spin-off cartoons, and a Japanese anime movie. There is an American comic series and (there was) an English one too. He's also the only non-Disney character to appear in Disney land. In Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic's shoes (made for grinding) were made by a company named Soap.
