Disney's Sonic The Hedgehog: Online

Disney's Sonic The Hedgehog: Online is a online browser game (later required to be downloaded) that launched on soniconline.com on March 20th 2008. It shut down on August 9th 2015 due to low revenue from the game.
== History ==
In 2005 Disney and Sega Animation wanted Sonic to appeal to modern kids so as a competition to Club Penguin they started work on Project Online which later went on to become Disney's Sonic the Hedgehog: Online. The Character designs went through many design changes and Disney was thinking if people could play as the characters from the show or make custom characters. They landed on custom characters. The game was announced on the monthly Disney's Sonic the Hedgehog blog on Disney.com in October 2007 that a Sonic Online Browser game was in development and was coming out in early 2008. It officially launched on March 20th 2008 with many people who watched the tv show running in to try it out. When released there was no membership but it was officially added on April 1st where on that day it would be given to everyone for free to keep for the next 30 days. Membership was not purchasable until May 1st 2008 when it officially released and everyone who got free membership on April 1st had now lost it and was offered to be one of the first to get the full Membership experience as the April 1st membership wasn't 100% like the final membership due to features being added in at the last second aswell as some content being kept for full release to make it seem more worth. At launch membership costed 5.99 usd but would soon raise in price. In October 2008 the first seasonal event started "Disney's Sonic The Hedgehog Online Halloween Party 2008" which would bring in 4 non-members seasonal items and 8 members items. Around 2 months later it was time for Sonic's Christmas Festival 2008 which would feature a new minigame, 10 new seasonal items (4 non-member items and 6 members items), new apartment items to use in your apartment and finally 75% off membership so it now costed 1.5 usd until the event ended on December 29th 2008 with it directly being followed up by The Station Square New Year Countdown. The Station Square New Year Countdown would bring 6 new items, 2 non-members and 4 member items, a few apartment items, a new minigame that would stay in the game after the event and a minor thing is that now you could choose to buy Membership for a Year alongside Membership for a Month the year long membership would cost 34.99 at a 41.7% discounted price compared to how much buying monthly membership for a year would cost.
==Customization==
The game had a few character customizations, the basic one was basically just Sonic the Hedgehog however you could change Body Color and eye color although the shoes were not changable and had to be replaced by buying other shoes in the The Clothing Shop where you could also buy hats and shirts.
There was 7 colors (Blue, Red, Green, Orange, Pink, Black, White) you could pick from for your body without a Membership and 2 members exclusive colors (Rainbow and Purple) while for the eyes non members had 3 colors (Blue, Green, Brown) and then there was 3 members exclusive eye colors (Red, Purple and Pink). Here's a few example of basic characters that could be created from the start.

== Locations ==
Instead of a map that games such as Club Penguin there's instead a train station in Station Square where you teleport from. Despite canonically not being near each other Station Square and Green Hills are both in this game.
