Sonic the Hedgehog

You might know everything that I'm going to do, but that's not going to help you, since *I* know everything *you're* going to do. **Strange**, isn't it?
 — Sonic the Hedgehog to Hyper Metal Sonic

**Sonic the Hedgehog** (**ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ** ***Sonikku za Hejjihoggu***) is the eponymous main protagonist of the film *Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie*.

He is a blue furred anthropomorphic hedgehog born with the power of the speed of sound and regularly beats Dr. Robotnik in his evil schemes together with his best friend Miles "Tails" Prower. He has sworn to protect Planet Freedom, The Land of the Sky and South Island from the wrongdoings of Robotnik.

## History

### Past

Sonic was possibly born on South Island, he has been there all his life, together with his buddy Tails as well. He and Tails have defeated Dr. Robotnik countless times. No matter which problem the doctor causes, Sonic and Tails always save the day. For defending South Island from Dr. Robotnik who not only wanted to rule the island but also all of Planet Freedom, Sonic gets to know the president and Sara. He also met Knuckles the Echidna over time.

### *Welcome to Eggmanland*

 He wants us to come to the Presidential House right away!"
"That's it! That's it! Please hurry!!"
You know it might have been easier if you'd called to tell us that...
 — Sonic the Hedgehog and Old Man Owl

Chilling at the beach, Sonic sits in his beach chair and listens to the radio, under a parasol and wearing sunglasses. Suddenly, Tails pulls out his jet-propelled bodyboard, asking if he wants to join him. Sonic declines because of his fear of water and Tails sets his board ready. He takes off, blasting water at Sonic, he shivers. As Tails unattentively does it again, Sonic looks at him, only to see Tails doing various tricks. Just when he wanted to close his eyes again, Tails yells in panic, Sonic shrugs it off. Tails then shouts his name, begging him to help. Sonic gets annoyed and tells Tails to shut up, he then sees Tails fly upwards, revealing Old Man Owl's ship flying upwards as well. Tails descends, asking Sonic if he's alright. Sonic assures he is fine and asks who the person is. The owl exclaims to Sonic, shouting that he has news for him. Sonic pushes to job onto Tails, since he's the one who can fly. Tails screams at him, which shocks Sonic, and the fox flies to the owl.

Back at his original position at the beach, the ship knocks down the material Sonic used twice. As he sets the things right, Tails shouts his name, calling for Sonic. Sonic notices and runs towards the scream in need. He jumps on the side of the island, running towards where the ship is headed off to. Just in time, he saves Tails and Old Man Owl from the explosion and brings them to land.

On land, Old Man Owl is stunned after the happening. Sonic decides to wake him up via a pinch from a crab's claw. Once awaken, Sonic tells him to stop flying dangerous vehicles. The owl tells Sonic what he's here for, the president wants Sonic and Tails to come to the Presidential House. Tails readies the Tornado to go to the capital. Sonic stands on the wing of the plane and asks if Old Man will watch the island. Sonic then asks if Tails is ready, Tails is ready to go into flight and they go to the Presidential House.

#### Presidential House

 Sonic, please do it. You're the only one here that can save South Island and the entire Planet Freedom.
 — President to Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic and Tails arrive at the presidential house, expecting the President. But alas, the person in the chair is unfortunately, the evil Doctor Robotnik! He sat in the chair and menacingly turns around. Sonic stands shocked and Tails exclaims his name before two robots attack them. They luckily wipe them out. After landing heroically, Sonic dashes into Robotnik, but halts in time to hear the President himself telling him to stop. He stands on the desk, seeing the president and his daughter Sara to be held hostage and calls out Robotnik's trick. Robotnik jumps out of the chair, demanding Sonic to do as he says, because something will happen to Planet Freedom, Sonic denies to listen. Dr. Robotnik walks over to Sara, asking Sonic if she doesn't care about her. The president begs Sonic to listen to Robotnik's order, Sonic listens. Robotnik explains the plot, but after he is finished Sonic and the rest have fallen asleep. Robotnik pops the hologram, causing everyone to wake up. Robotnik demands Sonic to save Robotropolis from Metal Robotnik, yet Sonic denies, asking why Robotnik can't do it if it's his problem anyway. The president knocks over Robotnik and pleads Sonic to save Planet Freedom. Sonic turns his head. Sara runs over to Sonic, asking him to do it for the two of them. Sonic jumps off the desk, asking why he should actually do it since Robotnik lies 99/100 times. But Tails proclaims this is different. Sonic is finally convinced and dashes off.

#### The Land of Darkness

On the plane to The Land of Darkness, Sonic asks Tails if he should trust the navigator he received from Dr. Robotnik. Tails exclaims he should because he is the only person that knows Robotropolis best. The Tornado goes through a cloud and views The Land of Darkness. Sonic sees it and shouts that it's right below them. The plane takes a deep dive inside. Whilst going through the hole, Sonic slowly loses his grip from the plane. The plane eventually lands, roughly. Sonic crawls out the flipped and destroyed vehicle, asking if his companion is alright, Tails crawls out. Sonic and Tails then see the land of darkness, straight ahead. The two jump off a mountain, Sonic spins down whilst Tails descends quickly. Sonic spins off a ramp with Tails behind his tail, Sonic jumps off from rock to rock, mountain to mountain and then speeds off in the forest. There, he runs over a various spikes, he then jumps on a spring and jumps on more mountains and destroys a badnik. Back on land, Sonic and Tails are still running, but are attacked by Buzz Bombers. Sonic is led to believe that Robotnik is behind the badniks. Tails tells him a warp zone is straight ahead.

#### Ancient Relics

Through the warp zone, there appears to be an ancient city full of ancient relics. Sonic travels on top of a building, looking at the view of these "relics" sinking into the ocean. Tails explains that this could be the Robot Generator's doing and Sonic is convinced to go hurry. However, a lightning strike strikes, causing Tails and his astraphobia to lock onto Sonic. Back on the road, Sonic and Tails are running straight ahead. Until a strange flashing light explodes, launching them back. It reveals to be Metal Robotnik. Sonic claims that he doesn't have time for this and demands him to go away. Metal Robotnik starts attacking the two, but Sonic and Tails joke with him, appearing at various places around him and being silly in general. Sonic then attacks Metal Robotnik with his knee, which fails horribly. The two then hide behind a bus and Sonic asks where their destination is. Tails locates that it's pass that highway. Sonic and Tails stand on the highway and Sonic yells at Metal Robotnik, flipping him off?

Metal Robotnik gains bat wings and starts chasing the two, also destroying the highway. On the highway, Metal Robotnik starts firing rapidly at the two and Sonic and Tails speeding faster. Metal Robotnik tries to capture Tails, but Sonic drags Tails further. Metal Robotnik sends bombs so Sonic and Tails can fall, but they stop just in time. Metal Robotnik shoots them off and goes away. However, Sonic and Tails are dangling on the rails. They tippy-toe back on the road, cautious for Metal Robotnik. Metal Robotnik sees them and Tails screams. The two run from Metal Robotnik's glue. Sonic also gets some on his head. Tails gets captured by the glue and Sonic exclaims. Metal Robotnik sends out bombs at him, Sonic starts spinning away. Later, Sonic come back at him with Metal Robotnik's own weapon, blowing Metal Robotnik up. Unluckily, Sonic gets stuck on glue with his feet. Water starts flooding and Metal Robotnik survives, approaching the stuck hedgehog. Knuckles the Echidna shows up at the scene, knocking out Metal Robotnik and saving Tails. Tails tries to pull Sonic out from the place that is now full of water. Sonic finally comes out and cuts out Metal Robotnik's hand to free Knuckles. Sonic, with the help of the echidna and the fox, dashes all the way up to finally defeat Metal Robotnik. Whilst in the air with Tails, Sonic does a handshake with Knuckles. On a building, Sonic thanks Knuckles for his help. Sonic and Tails dash off to Robotropolis, which isn't far from the place they were at. Knuckles follows.

### *Sonic VS. Metal Sonic!!*

#### Core

At the heart of Robotropolis, the trio (Sonic, Tails and Knuckles) arrive at the entrance. They dash into the building, Knuckles is excited, but Sonic tells him to not get fed up or he'll let his guard down. They then get attacked by Snail Blasters. Knuckles tells Sonic to go on without him, he will take care of the badniks. Sonic approves.

Sonic and Tails arrive at the generator, which is overheating. Sonic runs towards the generator, only to find himself running on a conveyor, Tails bumps into him. Sonic orders Tails to fly up to the switch, this fails because the switch is too heavy. Sonic stands on the switch, before counting to zero. The generator shuts down and the electricity of Robotropolis shut off. Although, Sonic is captured in a strange green, see-through cage. The generator then collapses and Knuckles is able to save Sonic just in time before falling into the abyss. Seconds later, a strange ball appears, emitting flashes, wind and green electricity from it. In the ball a mysterious figure can be seen inside. In a flash, The figure finds itself standing in front of Sonic. A laugh can be heard from across the collapsed area. The mysterious laugh reveals itself to be Metal Robotnik. Or at least, scraps of him. It falls apart, unveiling, Sara and Robotnik. Sara tells the trio Robotnik's plan and Sonic demands a deeper explanation from Robotnik himself. Robotnik explains the look-a-like of Sonic the Hedgehog, being called Hyper Metal Sonic. Sonic speeds off to Robotnik, but Metal Sonic confronts him. The robots capture Sara and Sonic demands Robotnik to let Sara go, however, Sonic is ordered to defeat Metal Sonic first. Sonic says he can take him on his own.

#### Metal Sonic

Sonic and Metal fight mid-air, speeding into each other. Metal kicks Sonic senseless and traps him in a bubble. Metal storms out of Robotropolis with Sonic's unconscious body, Tails follows but Knuckles tries to stop him from going. Sonic somehow got out of the bubble and tries to hit Metal, but misses multiple times. He lands on a mountain, looking around, terrified and confused. He looks up, seeing Metal descend upon him. Metal kicks him, upside down.

Moments later, Sonic appears at the Control Center of the president while the president was on call with Knuckles and Tails. After hearing a report from a news reporter and the president exclaiming Metal's plan to melt the glaciers, he speeds off looking for Metal. At a place which is covered in ice and snow. Sonic awaits Metal Sonic, but sees that he is too late to stop Metal's magma plan. Suddenly, Metal's glossy head appears underneath Sonic's sneakers. The two separate and come to an agreement that there is only one Sonic, the two storm off at each other and fight over bridges and the landscape. Then, head to head, Sonic speaks to Metal, he says Metal knows everything Sonic is going to do, but that won't help him since Sonic does vice-versa. The two fly upwards. Metal flies into the Egg Mobile and Sonic lands on it. When Robotnik confusedly tries to grab Sonic, Sonic goes under the Egg Mobile, pulling out Metal and causing Sara to fly out the vehicle. In the air, Sonic is captured by Metal, but the Tornado knocks Metal out, freeing Sonic. Mid-air, Sonic and Metal fight once more, Sara distracts Metal and Sonic kicks him into the ground.

Sonic jumps out, heavily hurt. He tries to get up, but Metal kicks him straight in the head, launching him into Tails and Sara. Metal grabs Sonic around his neck, choking him. Sara and Tails try everything to shut Metal Sonic down but nothing works. Tails eventually causes Metal's data to corrupt and Sonic spins into him. The president crashes into ice, making Sonic and Tails try to save him, but when they do, Metal Sonic attacks them and confronts them once again. Tails tries to do same action he did on Metal before, but Robotnik breaks the navigator. Metal rises and launches himself at the hedgehog. He punches Sonic onto the Egg Mobile and flies into it, Sonic was lucky enough to block it. Sonic dashes all the way to the other side of the area, Metal follows. They barely hit Knuckles multiple times. Sonic then accidentally steps on him. On Metal's head, Sonic travels upward on it, he then releases him, removing the ship which the president drove. Knuckles and Tails try to break the ship open, but Metal Sonic bombards into it and explodes the ship, everyone gets blown away.

Sonic struggles over to the explosion, shouting for the president. Surprisingly, Metal Sonic appears from the smoke, carrying the president and Old Man Owl. He drops the two. By the debris, Metal drops inside the a subglacial volcano. Sonic frustratingly runs into it, trying to save Metal from his demise. As Metal crawls up, Sonic tells him to grab his hand, Knuckles gets a hold of Sonic, trying to convince him that Metal is going to drag him in. Sonic reaches Metal Sonic but Metal slaps his hand away, claiming that there is indeed only one Sonic. The robot sinks in deeper and deeper, and Sonic shouts out his name.

### Aftermath

Even though the planet is saved by Sonic, he is still feels cheerless after the end of Metal Sonic. Robotnik then shows up behind the characters, maniacally laughing at them. Robotnik shows a DVD of Metal Sonic's data, but it gets blown up by one of Robotnik's design faults. The group laughs and Knuckles then punches Sonic on the head, as payback for stomping on his head. Sonic does not get why he did that and sets chase on him, Tails follows and so does the rest. Sonic then speeds off into the camera.

## Appearance

Sonic boasts vibrant cobalt blue fur that covers his entire body. His head is adorned with a set of distinctive, upright, and quill-like spikes that give him a sleek and aerodynamic look. Sonic's eyes are a bright emerald green, reflecting his lively and spirited personality. He wears a pair of iconic red sneakers with white straps and golden buckles. These sneakers are integral to his super-speed abilities. To complete his ensemble, Sonic dons white gloves on his hands, and he's often seen with a confident and cheeky smile, mirroring his fearless and wisecracking nature.

## Character Bio

 Everyone's favorite cool, blue hedgehog. He is the resident fearless speed demon and wisecracker of the Land of the Sky. Despite his incredible running speed, Sonic can't fly, although he can jump to incredible heights when he gets a running start. And, with some mid-air help from Knuckles or Tails, Sonic can perform incredible high-altitude tricks. He can also "gear down" and drill or bore his way through solid objects (or solid bad-guys as the case may be).

## Personality

 Forget about it. You created that stupid thing in the first place, why should I have to go around cleaning up your messes?
 — Sonic the Hedgehog to Dr. Robotnik

Sonic embodies fearlessness and speed, paired with a knack for clever banter. He exudes an air of cool confidence, remaining unruffled and relaxed even when confronting oppressive threats. Although prone to fiery outbursts when teased or provoked, Sonic never lets Dr. Robotnik or his schemes unnerve him. Instead, he maintains a somewhat detached demeanor, taking pleasure in taunting the doctor and his robotic minions. Only in the face of grave danger, such as his encounters with Hyper Metal Sonic, does Sonic shed his nonchalance and assume a more serious demeanor.

While Sonic rushes headlong to rescue his friends from imminent peril, there are moments when he yearns for solitude and can abruptly snap at even his closest comrades. He sometimes displays reluctance to aid individuals he finds bothersome, like Old Man Owl, or those he distrusts, such as Dr. Robotnik, even when they seem to be in peril. Nevertheless, when the situation demands it and lives hang in the balance, Sonic readily steps up to meet the challenge and safeguard those in jeopardy.

## Powers and abilities

 There's only one thing to do: someone has to get through Metal Robotnik's traps, go into Robotropolis and stop that generator before sunrise! And it should be the fastest one here.
 — Dr. Robotnik

Sonic's primary and most iconic ability is his incredible super speed, a trait often acknowledged by Dr. Robotnik as having the fastest feet in the world. Sonic's velocity is so astounding that he can effortlessly evade bullets, traverse vertical surfaces by running on walls, and move at such a rapid pace that he seems to teleport from one location to another. His lightning-quick reflexes enable him to respond swiftly even to adversaries who possess similar levels of speed.

Beyond his speed, Sonic possesses superhuman strength, a quality likened by Robotnik to that of Hyper Metal Sonic. He exhibits remarkable durability, capable of enduring powerful blows from formidable foes like Hyper Metal Sonic with minimal to no harm. Sonic also boasts exceptional agility, effortlessly leaping to great heights and performing a wide array of acrobatic maneuvers.

Sonic's signature offensive technique involves curling into a concussive ball or razor-sharp disk and propelling himself at his targets. This move enables him to tear through or burrow into nearly any substance when coupled with sufficient velocity, hitting his objectives with the force of a cannonball. This technique's potency is exemplified by its ability to launch formidable adversaries like Hyper Metal Sonic into the distant horizon and out of sight. Additionally, Sonic is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant, further enhancing his formidable array of abilities.

## Trivia

* Unlike other versions, this version of Sonic speaks with an Australian accent.
* It is hinted at that Sonic and Sara have some sort of attraction to each other, though neither explores it beyond simple flirting, mostly on Sara's part, which makes it appear that the attraction is one-sided on said part.
