sanic was created on March 31, 2010, by a user named 0nyxheart. Initially intended to be a humorous depiction of a child’s drawing, Sanic was perceived differently by the public. He first appeared in a fan-made game, and most of his games are indie. An easter egg of sanic can be seen in the “Sonic the Hedgehog” film through a picture, and he also appears in “Sonic Forces” as a DLC t-shirt. There are numerous variants of sanic, including super sanic, hyper sanic, Dankspine Sanic, Dark Sanic, Super Sanic Hypergod, Blue Mode, Saneegee, Weeganic, Omnipotent Sanic, Beyond Omnipotent Sanic, Infinity Beyond Omnipotent Sanic, and True Sanic.

===Audio ===
sanic’s audio originates from the classic Sonic The Hedgehog OST (Green Hill Zone), but it has been sped up and pitched higher to mimic Sanic’s theme song. The more popular and ‘official’ theme for Sanic on the internet is slightly different in pitch and more distorted, which can be listened to here. This theme is also used as the main proximity sound for super sanic.
His jumpscare audio features Sonic saying, “You're Too Slow!" from his taunt in “Super Smash Bros. Brawl.”

==Gameplay==
===Strategy===
sanic’s increased speed in-game makes him a significantly greater threat compared to other nextbots. He is much harder to outrun, and actions that players can normally perform easily around a typical nextbot become much riskier when pursued by Sanic, who leaves little room for error. For less experienced players, the best strategy is to hide in a safe zone until the area is clear, as proficient B-Hopping is essential for outrunning Sanic over long distances. The only other guaranteed way to survive an encounter with him is to use a Bloxy Cola, which boosts the player’s speed beyond that of this nextbot.

==Trivia==
*Since he is based on Sonic, sanic has a speed boost of 1.2x (42-72) normally, with a speed of 1.5x (52.5-90) during the bloodmoon event. This makes him faster than normal nextbots and consequently harder to outrun.
**As of the Arcade Update, sanic no longer has his 1.2x speed boost.
*In an older version of nico’s nextbots, sanic had the same speed as all other nextbots, but this has since been increased.
*When sanic was first added, his image was not approved immediately, making him invisible for a short period.
*sanic is used as a placeholder for 3D nextbots’ jumpscares.
**However, the placeholder sanic image is larger than the image sanic currently uses.
*sanic was possibly suggested by xXIrisNemesisXx in the #nextbots-suggestions channel on July 23, 2022. There are no audios documented in the suggestion image. 
*For some reason, sanic’s audio did not play in the legacy version of the game. This issue also affected other nextbots. Note that this occurred in the legacy version.
**sanic’s audio now plays in the legacy version.
