Sonic the Hedgehog (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Sonikku za Hejjihoggu) is SEGA's mascot and Mario's "rival", or so Nintendo has said. He makes his first Smash appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as the second third-party character, after Solid Snake.

Character Description
Sonic is a blue, male, anthropomorphic hedgehog. First introduced by Sega in 1991 to combat Nintendo's Mario. He has a bit of an attitude, and is impatient, but cannot resist helping someone in need. He values his freedom above all else, and hates being constrained.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Sonic, along with Tails, were thought to be unlockable in Super Smash Bros. Melee by defeating 20 Fighting Wire Frames in Cruel Melee. This turned out to be an April Fools' Joke by EGM.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

 * Main Article: Sonic the Hedgehog (SSBB)



Sonic is a confirmed playable character for Brawl. He is the fastest character in the game, he along with Captain Falcon are the only characters who can run on the ground of the Big Blue stage without going off the side immediately - with the Bunny Hood, Sonic is actually capable of running faster than the vehicles and self-destructing on the right. Judging by the E for All demo and an update on Smash Bros. DOJO!!, his attacks are based on more classic moves from Sonic's earlier platforming games.

Trophy Info
''The world's fastest hedgehog, who can run at supersonic speeds. Generally speaking, he loves being able to do what he wants and loathes being constrained. Holding still is something he would never consider. He's got a bit of an attitude but can't pass by someone in trouble. When he collects the seven Chaos Emeralds, he transforms into the mighty, gold Super Sonic.''
