ABOUT SONIC THE HEDGEHOG:

Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game character initially created by Sega to rival the massive popularity of Nintendo’s Mario franchise.

Originally released in 1991, the first Sonic game for the Sega Mega Drive was a massive hit and the character quickly became the company’s defacto mascot.

Sonic is an anthropomorphic hedgehog known for his incredible speed. His main antagonist is Dr. Robotnik (or Dr. Eggman) whom Sonic must stop from turning the animal kingdom into his personal army of robots.
