Sonic the Hedgehog is a resident of Mobius, and one of the main protagonists of Super Mario Bros. Z. He traveled to Mario's world alongside Shadow to stop Turbo Mecha Sonic from obtaining all seven of the Chaos Emeralds.

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's personality hasn't changed much from his personality from his games. He is normally laid back and sometimes confident, even though he seeks revenge for the death of his friends at Mecha Sonic's hands. Although he can be impatient and arrogant at times, he usually wishes to help when someone is in trouble. It could be inferred that he may be repressing emotions related to the death of his friends from his nightmare in episode 5.

History[]

Sonic is a fleet-footed hedgehog who is known by the residents of Mobius as a great hero. He was born with the ability to run at incredibly amazing speeds, using his natural ability to fight against the evil Dr. Eggman, preventing him from enslaving innocent lives and conquering the world.

Turbo Mecha Sonic Saga[]

After Turbo Mecha Sonic laid waste to Mobius and murdered his friends in search of the seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic faced his robotic doppelgänger in an attempt to keep the final emerald from his grasp. However Sonic was easily defeated and Turbo Mecha Sonic had collected the final emerald. Just as he was about to achieve his perfect form, Shadow appeared and used Chaos Control to warp the emeralds to an alternate dimension. Undeterred by this setback, Mecha Sonic used Chaos Control to travel to the dimension the emeralds were sent to, presumably deciding to leave the hedgehogs to die a slow death in a ruined Mobius.

Sonic and Shadow searched through the wreckage of the Death Egg to find a means of pursuing Mecha Sonic. After finding a teleportation-pod and hooking Shadow up to it, the pair utilize Chaos Control to travel to the Mushroom Kingdom. Upon their arrival, their capsule falls on top of Metal Bowser, breaking his metal exoskeleton and giving Mario the opening he needed to defeat him. However just as Mario was about to land a decisive blow, Kamek takes Princess Peach hostage, threatening to transform her into a goomba with his magic. But Kamek is quickly neutralized by Sonic and Shadow, who leapt out from the capsule and knocked him out of the stadium with a homing-attack. With Kamek gone, Mario is free to finish his battle with Bowser and tosses him out of the stadium as well. Just as Mario began to celebrate his victory, Sonic approaches him and asks if he's Mario. Nodding, Sonic remarks that they must be in the right place.

Sonic and Shadow were later invited to Princess Peach's castle to thank them for their assistance in dealing with Kamek, there they properly introduced themselves. Sonic then requested Mario and Luigi's aid in locating the Chaos Emeralds, an idea Shadow objects to. But despite that, Mario and Luigi accept Sonic's request and enlist their friend Yoshi to assist in the hunt. The group decided to split up to cover more ground during their search, with Yoshi and Luigi managing to find one of the emeralds. However, the two are split up after the cliff-side they were standing on fell apart, with Yoshi falling down with the emerald. Luigi runs off to find the others and bring help, but by the time they managed to return, Yoshi was brutally beaten by Turbo Mecha Sonic and the emerald taken. Sonic and Shadow begin to bicker, but they're interrupted by Mario, who asks about Mecha Sonic. Sonic promises to tell Mario the full story once they've gotten Yoshi medical attention.

After taking Yoshi to Mario's house to recuperate, Sonic tells Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach about the tragic fate of his world wrought by Mecha Sonic. Upon revealing all of the details, Sonic asks once again for Mario and Luigi's help in collecting the Chaos Emeralds in addition to defeating Mecha Sonic. The brothers enthusiastically agree, which greatly pleased Sonic. Not long after finishing his story, Professor E. Gadd arrives and presents his latest invention: the Emerald Radar and the Chaos Emerald he found. However the lights go out and the emerald is stolen, causing an angered Shadow to run off and pursue the thief alone. Using the Emerald Radar, Sonic and the Mario Bros. track the thief and go to cut him off at the pass in Koopa Fields.

Upon reaching the area, Sonic and the Mario Bros. hide behind a nearby bush and identify the thieves as the Koopa Bros., old enemies of Mario's. Sonic suggests they take them by surprise, but Shadow ruins this plan by confronting them directly, much to Sonic's irritation. Sonic, Shadow and the Mario Bros. battle the Koopa Bros. for the stolen emerald and quickly begin to dominate them. Regrouping, the Koopa Bros. decide to use their "special attack", tucking into their shells and stacking up on one another into a tower formation. Upon attempting this technique, they unwittingly tap into the Chaos Emerald's power. With the added power they knock Sonic and his allies unconscious.

During his unconsciousness Sonic has nightmare of Mecha Sonic collecting all seven emeralds and achieving his perfect form before waking up in a cold sweat in Mario's bed. He quickly goes to calm down an angered Shadow, humiliated by his loss to the Koopa Bros. Professor E. Gadd rejoins the group and presents them with the Radar Radar, a radar that tracks the location of the Emerald Radar. Using it, Sonic and the others learn that the Koopa Bros. have traveled to Yoshi's Island. Sonic begins to run off before E. Gadd stops him and asks how he plans to reach the Island by foot, which Sonic sheepishly has no answer to. The Professor then volunteers to take the group to the island aboard his new Poltergust.

Upon their arrival, the group quickly comes across a Chaos Emerald and Professor E. Gadd goes to retrieve it. However the professor is caught in a trap and Shadow deduces that the emerald was a fake. Sonic reassures the E. Gadd that they'll get him down, but before they can do that they're interrupted by the arrival of the Yoshi Tribe, who appear to be hostile. Sonic suggests they attempt to communicate with them, but are unsuccessful. Growing impatient, Shadow begins to attack, much to Sonic's irritation. The group overwhelm the Yoshi Tribe in battle until Thunderfoot joins the fray, taking Mario by surprise. Sonic attempted to assist him, but was blindsided by an attack from one of the Yoshis. Before Thunderfoot could finish Mario off, their Yoshi arrives out of nowhere and knocks Thunderfoot back. The two Yoshis seemingly communicate and stare each other down, but Thunderfoot prepares to renew his attack until he's interrupted by the arrival of his chief, telling him to stop.

After speaking with Yoshi and recognizing Mario from his youth, the two parties' conflict comes to an end. The Yoshi Chief explains that after coming across a purple gemstone, a group of foreign Yoshis appeared and asked to see the stone. The Chief was happy to oblige, but the group of Yoshis were actually invaders in disguise, stealing the emerald and attacking the island with their massive warship. The invaders captured and enslaved most of the tribe, forcing them to dig up more of the emeralds, not knowing that it was impossible to do so. Having escaped from the invaders, the Chief and remaining tribe members began planting fake emeralds in hopes of launching a surprise attack on the invaders, leading them to accidentally attack the heroes.

After hearing their story, Sonic offers to deal with their oppressors. The Yoshi Chief thanks them and leads them to their village. Upon arriving at the village, Sonic and the rest of the heroes begin freeing the captured Yoshis by breaking their shackles. After freeing them all, Shadow spots the real Chaos Emerald atop the village's golden Yoshi statue, with Sonic running off to retrieve it. However just before he reaches it, the Koopa Bros. swoop in and steal the emerald. But the emerald is stolen from them soon after by the Axem Rangers X, the group that had enslaved the Yoshi Tribe. With all three parties wanting the Chaos Emerald, a three-way battle ensues.

During the battle, Sonic manages to reclaim the Emerald Radar from the Koopa Bros. and uses his speed to keep it away from the Koopa Bros. and the Axem Rangers X. As the battle rages on, Mecha Sonic suddenly appears and knocks the Koopa Bros. out in a single strike and takes the emerald in their possession before destroying Blade, the Axem Ranger X's battleship and claiming the emerald held within it's Breaker Beam Cannon. Having now collected four emeralds, Mecha Sonic uses their power to achieve his Semi-Super form and proceeds to use this form to destroy the Axem Rangers with ease. Sonic and his allies attempt to fight Mecha Sonic, but their efforts prove futile as he defeats them with little effort. Mecha Sonic taunts Sonic before soaring above the island and begins to charge an enormous energy ball, intending to destroy the island along with Sonic and the others.

Regrouping with Shadow, Yoshi, Professor E. Gadd and the Yoshi Tribe, Sonic asks if Shadow could use Chaos Control to help them escape, which Shadow is unable to. With the situation looking bleak, Sonic grows frustrated until Mario and Luigi rejoin the group. Mario shows Sonic the Starman he found moments earlier and asks him to absorb it's power with him. Sonic does so and uses it's power to achieve his Super Form, which he uses to go on the offensive alongside Mario. With a single attack, Sonic and Mario knock Mecha Sonic out of his Semi-Super form and claim the emeralds that were in his possession. Just as Sonic was about to finish Mecha Sonic off with an energy blast, the energy from the Starman runs out. Furious, Mecha Sonic sends his energy ball down towards the island, hoping to kill Sonic and his allies. However Sonic throws one of the emeralds he had taken from Mecha Sonic to Shadow, who uses it's power to use Chaos Control, warping everyone back to mainland just before the island was destroyed.

Parting ways with the Yoshi Tribe, Sonic and the others continue their hunt for the Chaos Emeralds, with the Emerald Radar leading them to the Pipe Plains. Receiving a call from Professor E. Gadd, he tells the group that beneath the plains lies a vast Pipe Maze, making the task of finding the emerald difficult if it had fallen inside. To aid in their hunt, E. Gadd sends Stuffwell to their location. Upon his arrival, Stuffwell uses his navigation system and confirms that the emerald had fallen into the Pipe Maze. Upon entering the maze, the Emerald Radar begins to detect the signal of thirty different emeralds. Stuffwell explains that the reflective nature of the pipes is likely interfering with the radar and suggests they split up into teams to search the maze. Shadow is quick to leave on his own, brushing off Sonic even after he insisted he work with the rest of the group. Sonic asks Luigi and Yoshi to follow him and ensure he doesn't do anything reckless before pairing up with Mario to search the maze.

After reaching yet another dead-end in the search for the emerald, Sonic begins to grow frustrated. Given the radar's readings, Stuffwell surmises that the emerald must be on the other side of the wall and suggests they seek out a passageway that leads behind the wall. Sonic reluctantly agrees, expressing concern about wasting time while Mecha Sonic is on the loose. As Sonic and Stuffwell turn back, Mario pushes them away from a surprise attack from Mecha Sonic. Sonic and Mario battle Mecha Sonic, but prove to be no match for him. During the battle, Mecha Sonic smashes Sonic through the dead end wall and begins choking him, demanding to know where the Chaos Emeralds he stole from him are. Sonic refuses to answer, causing Mecha Sonic to take out his machine gun in retaliation. Before Mecha Sonic can fire, Mario jumps in from behind and pounds him into the ground. Mario grabs Sonic and retreats into a pipe that had been behind the dead end wall.

Sonic and Mario materialize in what they presume to be an alternate dimension, due to the drastic change in scenery and in their own appearances. The pair begin to search for a way out and eventually run into Kolorado and Goombella. Kolorado asks the pair if they're a rescue party, much to their confusion before asking if they had instead entered the dimension by mistake. Kolorado explains to Sonic and Mario that around three months ago, he and Goombella set out to investigate a new discovery made by Professor Frankly. During their investigation they found the same pipe that Mario and Sonic had used to escape from Mecha Sonic and have been trapped in the dimension since. Sonic asks if they had tried finding away out, with Goombella telling him that they've looked everywhere and found nothing, with exception of a single pipe deep underwater. However the pipe only takes them to the very beginning of the world. She also reveals that they found a gemstone while underwater, which turns out to be the Chaos Emerald that Sonic and Mario were searching for. Sonic explains the situation surrounding the emerald and Kolorado decides to give them the emerald.

With the Chaos Emerald in their possession, Sonic and Mario begin to search for a way out of the minus world, with Kolorado and Goombella following along. They quickly stumble upon a underwater pipe, with Kolorado informing them it's the same pipe they had mentioned earlier, reiterating that it would just send them back to the beginning of the minus world. Despite Kolorado's insistence, Sonic and Mario try using the pipe anyways and end up back at the beginning of the world just as they were warned. Despite that, Sonic refuses to give up and proclaims he won't rest until he's found a way out. However they have little luck in their search. Kolorado tells them it's hopeless, but Sonic still refuses to give up. Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of Mecha Sonic with a battle soon breaking out for possession of the Chaos Emerald.

Despite their best efforts, Sonic and Mario and defeated and Mecha Sonic snatches the emerald from them. After Mecha Sonic asks where the emeralds he stole from him are, Sonic answers that one of the others has them. Sonic adds that knowing won't help him, as the properties of the Minus World will prevent him from escaping. Mecha Sonic is unfazed and tells him that he'll use Chaos Control to escape and begins to taunt Sonic, however upon attempting the technique he discovers that it doesn't work. Sonic breaks out in laughter and mocks Mecha Sonic, causing him to resume attacking them.

Sonic and Mario are blown away by Mecha Sonic, who prepares to finish the pair off. However Shadow suddenly appears and attacks Mecha Sonic, retaking the Chaos Emerald from him in the process just before Yoshi arrives as well. Sonic tries to warn Shadow that Chaos Control doesn't work in the Minus World, but to no avail, causing him to lash out at Sonic after his attempt fails. Regardless, the four resume their battle against Mecha Sonic. But during the battle, Luigi arrives and knocks into Kolorado, causing him to drop his stopwatch, which releases a burst of energy and neutralizes the curse placed on the Minus World. However the heroes are contacted by Professor E. Gadd via the Emerald Radar, who warns them that the effect is only temporary and tells them to escape quickly. Sonic and the others manage rush to the underwater pipe, with Mecha Sonic in hot pursuit. Sonic and the rest of the heroes, along with Mecha Sonic escape the Minus World before narrowly escaping a massive energy blast using Shadow's Chaos Control.

Back at Mario's house, Professor Frankly explains that it was the Subcon energy inside of the Stopwatch that negated the energy of the Minus World. Sonic and the rest of the group part ways with Goombella and Kolorado, who now plan to travel to the Shyguydesert to restore the stopwatch's power. After the pair of archaeologists leave, the group notices smoke billowing from Peach's Castle, with Toadsworth arriving in a panic soon after to reveal that the Princess has been kidnapped by Bowser once again.

After Mario discovers a letter from Bowser and reads it's demands to surrender the Chaos Emeralds in their possession in exchange for the Princess, Sonic expresses that both he and Shadow would be glad to help them. This angers Shadow, who argues that collecting the emeralds and destroying Mecha Sonic should be their priority. The hedgehogs begin to argue, with it eventually escalating to Shadow threatening Sonic's life after he compared Princess Peach to his deceased friend Maria. Upon being threatened, Sonic expresses that Shadow never used to be like this and that he's one of the most compassionate people he's ever known. When Sonic asks what changed him, Shadow stands down and leaves the group.

While saddened, Sonic doesn't dwell on it and departs with the rest of the group to Professor E. Gadd's laboratory. Upon arriving, E. Gadd reveals that he's prepared supplies and upgraded Mario's plane in anticipation of a rescue attempt. Sonic waits outside with Yoshi and E. Gadd while Mario and Luigi prepare the the plane for takeoff, which then emerges from the ground on a lift. After the plane is launched via a giant slingshot, Sonic lets out a sad sigh as he remenisces about flying around with Tails on the Tornado.

Upon catching up with Bowser's Omega Doomship, the ship begins to open fire on the Skypop. Growing frustrated, Sonic suggests they counterattack directly. Sonic and Mario jump from the Sky Pop and free-fall towards the Doomship before proceeding to fight their way through the troops stationed on it's hull. The pair later save Luigi and Yoshi, who were overwhelmed by a large group of Koopatrols inside the Doomship's hangar. When attempting to recover a Fire Flower that Luigi had dropped, Sonic is struck from behind by a koopatrol and drops the Fire Flower into a crate of Bob-ombs, causing them to explode. While badly hurt from the explosion, Sonic grabs the Fire Flower and uses it to transform into Fire Sonic. Using this new form, he and the rest of the heroes decimate the Koopatrols within the hangar. However before they can the remaining ones off, Basilisx intervenes and confronts the group, insisting he'll handle the heroes by himself. Sonic scoffs at his bravado, asking how he thinks he stands a chance against all of them. Basilisx dismisses him before using his petrifying glare to turn Sonic into stone.

Powers and Abilities[]

Sonic's greatest strength and most well known ability is his super speed. He can instantly accelerate to and run at speeds far greater than Mach 1, which is at the blistering speed of about 768 mph. His high speed allows him to scale vertical surfaces (such as walls and ceilings) and even run over water. Due to these feats, he's been dubbed the "fastest thing alive" in his world.

Sonic also boasts incredible agility and acrobatic skills, along with lightening fast reflexes that allow him to avoid any incoming obstacles with ease. He can also jump an incredible distance of up to several hundred meters. In battle, Sonic primarily relies on his fast footwork to overwhelm his foes, though he will use his fists on rare occasions. What Sonic lacks in physical strength he more than makes up for with his super speed, often being able to land several hits in a single second or striking heavy blows using his momentum alone.

Sonic's most recognizable ability is his signature Spin Dash- curling himself into a ball and rocketing towards foes at high speed. The move has enough power behind to dig into the earth, tear through metal and damage foes much larger than himself. He's also mastered an assortment of different variations on the move, such as the Homing Attack and Light Speed Attack.

Sonic can also harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds, though not to the extent that Shadow can. He has been shown to be capable of using the Chaos Control technique, even when utilizing a fake emerald. After collecting all seven, he can use their power to transform into Super Sonic.

Transformations[]

Super Sonic[]

Using the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic can transform into Super Sonic. In this form, his fur turns into a gold color, his quills turn upward and his eyes become red. While transformed, Sonic commands ultimate power and has access to unlimited energy, granting him abilities such as flight, increased strength and invulnerability, among other abilities.

Sonic can also transform into Super Sonic using a Starman, albeit for a much shorter amount of time. The Star Spirits would have also helped him achieve this transformation at some point in the series.

Fire Sonic[]

After using a Fire Flower, Sonic's fur turns red and his quills turn upward. Additionally, his eyes turn yellow and the red on his shoes turn to a very light hue of yellow. Like Mario, he gains fire-based abilities in this form. However, he appears to be able to shoot fire-balls at a much faster rate than him and can also augment his physical attacks with flames.

Techniques[]

  • Spin Dash - Sonic's signature move, Sonic curls into a ball and rams into his opponent at high speed. It can also be charged to attain a greater level of speed and power before being unleashed.
  • Homing Attack - As its name implies, the Homing Attack allows Sonic to home directly into a nearby enemy with a target-seeking midair spin attack. The attack can be chained, striking multiple foes one after the other.
  • Blue Tornado - Using the Spin Dash, Sonic circles around an opponent in mid-air at high speed. The resulting slip-stream creates a blue vortex of air around the opponent. Sonic can also use it to create an updraft to lift his allies up a large vertical distance as seen in Episode 8.
  • Light Speed Attack - Also known as the "Light Attack", it is one of Sonic's most powerful techniques. It allows Sonic to ram into enemies with a variation of the homing attack at speeds that can't be parsed by the naked eye. However, it requires Sonic to charge it in a similar fashion to his spin-dash before executing it, leaving him vulnerable for a time.
  • Shockwave - Sonic curls into a ball and unleashes a shockwave, creating an explosion upon impact. As Fire Sonic, this ability takes on flame attributes and can be unleashed with a kick rather than a spin dash.
  • Tatsumaki Senpukyaku - Based upon Ryu's special move of the same name from the Street Fighter series, Sonic spins his body around with one of his legs outstretched and glides towards his opponent, landing multiple strikes in succession.

Fire Sonic[]

  • Fireballs - Like Mario, Sonic can throw fireballs from his hands after using a Fire Flower. However, unlike Mario, he seems to be able to shoot them much faster. He can also charge them before throwing for greater power.
  • Flame Burst - Fire Sonic runs headlong into an enemy and unleashes a burst of fire from his body.
  • Flame Pillar - Fire Sonic circles around enemies at high speed before unleashing a giant pillar of flame that erupts from the ground.
