Sonic the Hedgehog (character)

Sonic was officially confirmed to be in Super Smash Bros. Brawl during The Fall 2007 Nintendo conference on October 10, 2007. He will be fast and may be hard to control. Sonic will be bringing moves from his retro games into Brawl.

Sonic has been a popular suggestion for years, dating back to the now infamous April Fool's joke in EGM that claimed that Sonic and Tails could be unlocked in Melee by getting 20 or more KO's in Cruel Melee. During production of Brawl, a Japan-only poll named Sonic as the top third-party choice for inclusion. The announcement of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games brought further hope for his inclusion. As stated above, he was officially announced to much joy throughout the gaming and SSB community on October 10, 2007.

Sonic's winning theme is the "Round Clear" music from the original Sonic games. His home stage is Green Hill Zone.

Taunts
One of Sonic's taunts is making a figure 8 with his feet, saying "You're too slow!". This was confirmed on Dojo's 1/24/08 update, as well as a past update that explained about various taunts for characters (In the past Super Smash Bros. games, each character only had one taunt. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, they all now have three taunts.) Sonic can also break-dance and flip and cross his arms.

How to Unlock Sonic(Possible Spoilers)
There are three methods in which you can unlock Sonic. One method is completing the Subspace Emissary Mode. Another method is completing Classic Mode with 10 different characters. The third method is playing 300 VS Matches.

Melee Rumor
A common rumor regarding Super Smash Bros. Melee was that Sonic and Tails were playable characters. It was a false statement that one could unlock them by defeating twenty opponents in the Cruel Melee mode, as it was an April Fools joke from Electronic Gaming Monthly.

However, Sonic makes his playable appearance in SSBB as you know and Tails, along with Knuckles and Silver, also makes a brief appearance in Sonic's Green Hill Zone stage, running across the hoop.

Final Smash
After getting the smash ball with Sonic, he uses the Chaos Emeralds to turn Super Sonic. In this form, he is full controllable, and flies around the screen at high speeds. It is also possible to boost his speed to make him fly faster. During this form, he is invincible, and attacks by raming enemies while flying.

Depending on how fast Super Sonic is flying, the damage will be bigger.
