Sonic the Hedgehog (SSB. Amplified)

Sonic the Hedgehog is a starting character in Super Smash Bros. Amplified and comes from his game series of the same name. He is no longer the sole fighter of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He gets new voice clips, which are done by Junichi Kanemaru in Japanese and Roger Craig Smith in English. Shadow is a character swap for Sonic and his voice actor is Kirk Thornton and Koji Yusa in English and Japanese, respectively.
== Moveset ==
Sonic recieves a little more tweaks to his moves to gain some combo options, but he mostly remains the same as his past Smash appearances. He does great with hit-and-run tatics, but he can go on the offensive with his new found combo potential. Shadow fights similar to Sonic, but Shadow's Homing Attack is power oriented while Sonic's is speed oriented.

== Trophy Info ==
=== Sonic: ===
Sonic the Hedgehog is a blue hedgehog who enjoys traveling and going fast, really fast. Sonic is a friend to the environment and cannot sit still. He also has a genius, two-tail sporting friend called Miles "Tails" Prower. He's also has two friendly rivals, a black hedgehog named Shadow the Hedgehog, and a red echidna named, Knuckles the Echidna. Overall, this cool, blue dude will rush in to save the day when trouble comes knocking. There's no doubt that Sonic is the fastest character, here. Fun Fact: Sonic is actually faster than his namesake.
=== Sonic (Alt): ===
Sonic likes to curl up into a ball often. His Homing Attack will give a fast launch to hit his foes, but is a bit predictable before he launches. His Light Speed Dash is a great charging attack, but also can serve as a way to get on the stage. Spring Jump can get Sonic to higher elevation, but he, himself, can't hurt anyone when he does. Spin Charge is a quick move and can be great for combos or making a great escape from trouble.
===Shadow:===
Shadow the Hedgehog is a black hedgehog who's heroic, but goes his own way. Shadow is an artificial life form created by Dr. Eggman's grandfather using alien DNA intially to cure severe illnesses, especially for Maria Robotnik. This hedgehog rivals Sonic, though he prefers focusing more on Chaos power rather than speed. He's older than he looks thanks to being in stasis until Eggman wakes him up.
=== Super Sonic: ===
When this cool, blue dude gets all seven Chaos Emeralds, he absorbs their power and goes into a yellow, super form. Sonic in his super form is dangerous and invincible. He can only charge at his foes, but the faster he goes doing this, the harder this charge will hit. Sonic can hurt enemies in this form, but it won't last long. Make use of the Chaos power while it lasts.
===Super Shadow:===
You'd think Shadow will use raw speed when he gets all seven Chaos Emeralds? Nope, he's warping to center of the stage and unleashing Chaos Blast. Anyone caught within the large blast of Chaos energy is hit hard from the blast and launches far away. It may cover a large area of the stage, but it can still be dodged. Carry the fight to center stage before unleashing this mighty power.
