Mr. Needlemouse

Mr. Needlemouse is Sonic, Tails, and Daughter Maria's father (or early Sonic), Madonna's first known boyfriend, Mrs. Needlemouse's husband, and a character in The Original Rad Mobile. In canon, Mr. Needlemouse is the Japanese name of Sonic in his appearance in Rad Mobile. Mr. Needlemouse name comes from the fact that Sonic's original name was Mr. Needlemouse. While Mr. Needlemouse is technically fanon, people who use him place him in Rad Mobile as an explanation for the fact that the Doctor Eggman in that game is Doctor Ivo Robotnik, who is very elderly when Sonic is only 16.
==Appearance==
His outfit consists of a red fur, and blue shoes. This resembles the protagonist of the original Rad Mobile arcade machine. To differentiate him from Sonic, fan appearances of Mr. Needlemouse give him grey beard, and sometimes green eyes and blue buckles on his shoes.
==History==
=== Rad Mobile ===
Mr. Needlemouse was supposedly the main rear-view mirror accessory of Rad Mobile, although there are conflicting sources as to whether the character we know as Sonic is supposed to be Mr. Needlemouse. The biggest source of confusion comes from Sonic Forces, which treats the character as one and the same through Sonic's line "I'm in a class all my own" in Eggman Empire Fortress.
However supposing that Mr. Needlemouse really is a separate character, this would place the timeline a bit back as Doctor Ivo Robotnik was supposedly the Doctor Eggman we see in the game, and that Gerald Robotnik would have had a son who became the present Doctor Eggman later. The game revolves around racing around the country while also avoiding police cars.
=== Puzzle Construction ===
This is entirely speculative fiction at this point, but if Mr. Needlemouse was supposed to be a separate character, he would have not appeared in anything in canon since Puzzle Construction. This is possibly because Sonic took up the mantle that he did and he retired into a quiet life. He might also possibly be Sonic's real father, although this is unlikely as Sonic's parents lived on Christmas Island (as evidenced in the Sonic the Hedgehog Technical Files). Likewise, this would also suggest that Mrs. Needlemouse is Sonic's mother, but this is unlikely as Mrs. Needlemouse does not hint towards a maternal relationship in her zero appearances. It is safe to say that Mr. Needlemouse is not Sonic's father, but in that case, what is he?
==Personality==
Mr. Needlemouse is known as a very nice guy to those who stay on his good side. However, he spirals into an disproportionate, unstoppable rage at the slightest aggravation, like many other so-called protagonists on Fantendo. He can be kind of forgetful from time to time, likely because of his age. He is a retro gamer, owning a Master System, Game Gear, and Genesis and the entire libraries for those consoles. He has no interest in modern consoles.
== Games appearances ==
=== Ultra Sonic World ===
He also appears a downloadable character in Ultra Sonic World.
=== Sonic Racing 9 ===
An artwork of Mr. Needlemouse with a 1963 Chevrolet Impala has been released hinting that he may appear in Sonic Racing 9.
=== Sonic Generations ===
Mr. Needlemouse has been confirmed to appear in Sonic Generations. He is unlocked by completing the "Green Hill Zone" zone. His gameplay is like Sonic the Hedgehog 2, with some added Rad Mobile tweaks.
=== Smash the Hedgehog Endgame ===
Mr. Needlemouse appears briefly on the Rad Mobile stage in Smash the Hedgehog Endgame. He appears in all mobile levels where he is seen racing across the country and avoiding police cars with his needles. Mr. Needlemouse does 14% damage to characters when they collide with him. Mr. Needlemouse with his needles does 39% damage and high knockback. When Mr. Needlemouse touches a police car, a new zone commences.
=== Silver the Hedgehog: Echoes of Disaster ===
Mr. Needlemouse will make an appearance in Silver the Hedgehog: Echoes of Disaster, and the writers have stated that there will be a "rather interesting twist" on the rumors that he is Sonic's father.
