Silver the Hedgehog (シルバー・ザ・ヘッジホッグ) is a recurring character in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

Silver makes a cameo in the background of the Green Hill Zone stage, a role he has had since Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Character description

Silver the Hedgehog is a white hedgehog, with odd shining blue patterns on his hands. Silver comes from 200 years in the future, along with Blaze the Cat (who, oddly, has been depicted of living in another dimension in the Sonic Rush series), where it has been devastated by a monster known as "Iblis". He has psychic abilities, as well as telepathic skills. This is also backed with his ability to fly for short distances. Silver's personality is somewhat similar to Sonic the Hedgehog, in the field that he'll fight for justice no matter what the cost. However, in terms of attitude, Silver tends to act serious towards his mission, comparable to Shadow the Hedgehog. Silver is also somewhat naive (as stated by Blaze the Cat), and tends to get insecure when left to fight on his own. However, this doesn't stop him from trying to save the world from Solaris in Sonic the Hedgehog, alongside Sonic and Shadow. In the Sonic Rivals series for the PlayStation Portable, Silver's psychic skills are emphasized once again, as he traversed both games trying to beat Blaze's old nemesis, Eggman Nega. Oddly, most of Silver's Nintendo appearances seem to take away his psychic powers, only showing little or none of his abilities, seemingly making him more of a normal hedgehog. He doesn't have a major role in these appearances.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Silver makes a cameo appearance in the Green Hill Zone stage by running in the background along with Tails and Knuckles. He also appears as one of the many Stickers that can be collected in the game. His Sticker appearance is that of his artwork on the official Sonic the Hedgehog website, Sonic Channel. This sticker can only be placed on Sonic, and its status boost is Launch Power +49. His only other appearance in the game is in the form of a Trophy unlocked by clearing Target Test level 3 with all characters. In addition, Silver's bracelet is an alternate costume for Sonic.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, one of Sonic's alternate colors strongly resembles Silver. He makes an appearance as a collectible trophy as well in the Nintendo 3DS version. Silver also reprises his role in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, running in the background of Green Hill Zone along with Tails and Knuckles.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Silver appears as a spirit. Like the previous games, Silver once again reprises his role as a background character in Green Hill Zone along with Tails and Knuckles.
