I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog!

Sonic, The New Threat


Sonic the Hedgehog is a resident of Mobius, and one of the main protagonists in Super Mario Bros. Z. He debuted in the first episode alongside Shadow.

Biography

Appearance

Sonic is a slim anthropomorphic hedgehog with blue spines that covers most of his body and peach skin that covers his arms, muzzle, and front torso. He has green eyes, and sports white gloves and two light-weight, hyper friction resistant red sneakers with white cuffs around the ankles, gray soles, and white straps across the top, the last of which are held down by a golden buckle.

Personality

Sonic is famous for his carefree nature and love for adventure. He is always on the move, seeking new challenges and excitement. He enjoys a good fight and never backs down from an enemy regardless of their strength. Some of his most definitive traits are his smug attitude, overconfidence, and his tendency to mock his opponents.

However, Sonic also has a sensitive side seen in how much he cares for those he helps. He has great emotional intelligence, able to easily discern the feelings of others. His heroism, sense of justice, and kindness drive him to rush in and defend those in need, as shown when he kicks Kamek away when he was holding Princess Peach hostage. He values of freedom above all else, putting him at odds with bullies such as his arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman. Though he struggles saying it, he cares deeply for his friends. During his downtime, he enjoys hanging out with friends and eating his favorite chili dogs.

History

Metallix Saga

1-135

Sonic attacks Kamek

Sonic and Shadow's capsule teleported into the Mushroom Kingdom during the first Smash Tournament. The capsule fell on Metal Bowser, cracking his shell and returning him to his normal form. When Kamek held Princess Peach hostage, Sonic jumped out of the capsule and knocked him away. After Mario defeated Bowser and threw him out of the arena, Sonic confirmed that they were speaking to Mario and were in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Later, the two hedgehogs went with the Mario brothers to Peach's Castle to speak with the princess and Toadsworth. Sonic thanked them for their hospitability and introduced himself and Shadow. Despite Peach allowing them to stay at the castle as long as they wanted, Sonic explained that they weren't planning on staying and that they needed a favor from them, which Shadow objected to. Sonic replied that Mario and Luigi could help them find the Chaos Emeralds due to their knowledge of the world, but the others were intrigued by the jewels he mentioned. The hedgehog told them that the Emeralds came from Sonic's dimension as well by accident, while Shadow explained the powerful nature of the artifacts.

The explanation shocked Peach and Toadsworth, who told the heroes that they should start search parties to find the Emeralds, but Sonic was confident that the group by itself was already able to find them. In the end, Mario and Luigi agreed to help them on their search. While Mario and Sonic searched out the western side of the Kingdom, Luigi, Yoshi and Shadow searched the other. However, Sonic's efforts proved fruitless, as he wasn't able to find any of the Emeralds. He later reunited with Mario and Shadow, who had the same results. However, Luigi also appeared in a panic, telling them how he found an Emerald, but he and Yoshi were separated when missiles landed near them. This shocked Sonic and Shadow, who immediately went for the location Luigi mentioned.

When the group arrived, it was already too late. Yoshi was already beaten by none other than Metallix, who stole the Emerald and flew away from the scene. While Sonic lamented being too late to assist Yoshi, Shadow became angry, stating that they were dawdling and allowing Metallix to have an advantage. Sonic snapped back, reminding Shadow that he was the one to send the Emeralds to the Mushroom Kingdom. But Shadow retorts by sarcastically remarking how he wasn't aware that Sonic wanted Metallix to achieve his perfect form. When Mario asked them who the robot was, Sonic admitted that he and Luigi should know the full story, much to Shadow's dismay. Sonic promised to tell them everything once they get Yoshi help. The group quickly grabbed the unconscious Yoshi to bring him somewhere to nurse his wounds.

Powers and Abilities

Sonic is known to many as "the fastest thing alive" due to the unnaturally high running speeds he can achieve. Due to such speed, he can easily scale upright vertical surfaces and ceilings, run over water, outspeed lasers and missiles, and even cause the ground to explode in his wake. However, he has trouble keeping his balance when coming to an unexpected halt.

Sonic has incredible and flawless acrobatic skills and agility, alongside superhuman reflexes that let him avoid any incoming obstacles with precise and delicate movements. He also has incredible jumping skills, capable of jumping up to several hundred meters. In battle, Sonic primarily uses his fast footwork as his greatest strength lies in his legs, though he will also sometimes use his arms and fists. What Sonic lacks in strength he makes up for in speed by delivering lightning-fast strikes, either by landing several hits in a split second or striking foes using sheer momentum.

Sonic's signature technique is his Spin Attack - he can roll himself into a ball like hedgehogs do, and the resulting spinning form damages everything it makes contact with. His Spin Attacks are strong enough to cut through metal, pierce gigantic boulders, and damage foes countless times his size. It can also be utilized in mid-air as the Homing Attack, where he locks on to a target and shoots towards it in a ball form.[1]

Sonic has also demonstrated the ability to harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds for his own use, although nowhere near the extent Shadow does. He can transform into Super Sonic when he possesses all seven Emeralds.

Transformations

Super Sonic

A form Sonic takes whenever he absorbs the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds. In this form, Sonic's blue spines become golden, his green eyes turn red, and his two lower quills are turned up. He also immensely more powerful than he was in his previous form, becoming invulnerable and possesses greater speed and strength, and is also capable of flight and Chaos Control.

Fire Sonic

A form Sonic takes whenever he absorbs a Fire Flower. In this form, Sonic's spines become red, his eyes turn yellow, and his lower quills are turned up, similar to his super form. Sonic also gains incredible pyrokinetic abilities that are similar to Mario's whenever he gains the Fire Flower. However, Sonic uses fire abilities in conjunction with his incredible speed, allow him to deliver devastating attacks to blow away multiple enemies such as projecting fireballs at rapid speed, using fire in conjunction with his Boosting ability to knock foes out of the way, send waves of fire with his kicks, and even create fire tornadoes.

Super Star Sonic

Using the power of the Star Rod[2], the Star Spirits unlock Sonic's true power from within, allowing him to transform into Super Star Sonic. His abilities are currently unknown, though it is implied to be powerful enough to fight against Metallix. This form could potentially differ in appearance from his standard Super form.[3]


Techniques

  • Spin Dash - One of Sonic's signature moves. Sonic crouches down and curls into a ball and performs a Spin Charge before he dashes off into a high-speed rolling attack.
  • Homing Attack - Another one of Sonic signature moves in which he homes directly into a nearby enemy with a midair spin attack.

Relationships

Allies

Shadow

Sonic and Shadow are rivals, having a very rocky past with each other. Ever since they first met they have fought, argued, and even sometimes had outright death matches, though Sonic is never out to take Shadow's life and does not consider him an enemy in the true sense of the word. Sonic has few limitations on his goals and will do anything to help save the world, but Shadow will stop at nothing to get what he wants without any concern of who or what it affects. Despite their differences, Sonic and Shadow share a mutual respect between them, though this is rarely apparent because they always argue and fight. During their adventures, Sonic has acknowledged Shadow's power and capabilities, even admitting that Shadow is the only one who would have a chance against him in a race.[4] The two are forced to work together to stop Metallix, and their rivalry often causes turbulence and friction on their journey.

Mario

Sonic first met Mario when his and Shadow’s capsule teleported to the Mushroom Kingdom and landed on top of Metal Bowser, preventing the fiery demise of him and Luigi. Later, when Kamek holds Peach hostage and Bowser almost finishes off Mario again, Sonic kicks Kamek out of the way, allowing Mario to finally finish Bowser off. Later at the castle, Mario and Luigi eagerly accept Sonic’s request to help find the Chaos Emeralds, and Mario goes with Sonic to search out the west end of the kingdom. When Yoshi is nearly killed by Metallix, Mario is angry at Sonic for not informing them of Metallix, and that lack of information nearly leading to Yoshi’s death.

Luigi

Sonic first met Luigi when his and Shadow’s capsule teleported to the Mushroom Kingdom and landed on top of Metal Bowser, preventing the fiery demise of him and Mario. Later at the castle, Mario and Luigi eagerly accept Sonic’s request to help find the Chaos Emeralds, and Mario goes with Sonic to search out the west end of the kingdom. When Shadow harshly abandons Luigi to search for the emeralds himself, Sonic tells him not to take it personally. Later, when Luigi frantically explains everything that occurred up to Yoshi falling off the Cliff thanks to Metallix’s missiles, Sonic gets mad at Luigi for leaving Yoshi alone despite not informing him about Metallix.

Yoshi

Sonic first met Yoshi at the castle before setting out find the Chaos Emeralds. When Shadow harshly abandons Luigi to search for the emeralds himself, Sonic is glad that Yoshi comes to be Luigi’s partner instead. Later, when Luigi frantically explains everything that occurred up to Yoshi falling off the Cliff thanks to Metallix’s missiles, Sonic gets mad at Luigi for leaving Yoshi alone despite not informing him about Metallix.

Princess Peach

Sonic first met Peach when his and Shadow’s capsule teleported to the Mushroom Kingdom and landed on top of Metal Bowser, preventing the fiery demise of Mario and Luigi. Later, when Kamek holds Peach hostage and Bowser almost finishes off Mario again, Sonic kicks Kamek out of the way, allowing Mario to finally finish Bowser off. Later at the castle, Peach eagerly invites Sonic and Shadow inside her castle as thanks for saving her and her kingdom.

Enemies

Dr. Eggman

From Sonic's point of view, Eggman is first and foremost what can be defined as a "handful". Because of the hedgehog's hatred of anything unjust and how his nemesis can be considered an annoying and troublesome old man who inflicts terrible things on his friends and destroys beautiful cities and nature, Sonic holds a great mutual loathing for the doctor and his ambitions and has spent years rescuing the victims of his conniving schemes. Whenever Eggman hatches a plan to conquer the world, the hedgehog always shows up and thwarts him. Because they have also fought each other to win, the doctor has become a longtime rival of Sonic's as well as an enemy; likewise, their many battles with each other have made the hedgehog able to see through his adversary's tricks and knows what his true motivations are. Also, whenever Sonic's anger explodes over injustice, he always makes his nemesis the receiving end of this aggression.

Metallix

Metallix is one of Sonic's oldest foes, their history stemming back to when he was Metal Sonic. Before Shadow came around, Metal Sonic was Sonic's first real rival, and the two have always matched one another in battle, yet Sonic would always come out the winner. Even prior to his transformation into Metallix, Sonic recognized him as a major threat to the world. When he became Metallix, ruined Mobius, and took the lives of all of his friends, Sonic now views Metallix as nothing short of a monster and swears to make him pay for his crimes.
