===Natural Abilities===
Sonic's natural capabilities.
Superhuman Physical Characteristics
* Sonic is one of the strongest characters in the verse. Part of his capabilities to clutch a victory is by using the power behind his fists and strikes. He destroys robots such as Guard Robots and Caterkillers without much effort and survives falling out of the sky on multiple occasions. His biggest challenges during the OVA comes from Metal Robotnik and Hyper Metal Sonic, finding himself fighting one-on-one with the latter. During his fight with Metal Sonic, their fight caused a gigantic stalactite to crash onto the floor below.
Small Size & Bodily Weaponry
* Sharing the same height as his metal counterpart, Sonic is surrounded by humans and mechs alike towering over him but that detail does not effect him. In fact, this allows Sonic to dodge larger attacks with his small frame. He uses the quills on his back to increase his power and is able to speed up his spin to turn his sharp quills into a buzzsaw, preforming the Spin Attack.
