Games[]
Past[]
Sonic the Hedgehog's origin story is still a mystery, although he is said to have been born on Christmas Island on June 23, with his incredible and abnormal ability to run at the incredible super speeds, along with his powerful spin attacking moves.[22][23][24]
In the past, Sonic first met the evil mastermind Dr. Ivo Robotnik and the two became arch-enemies, with the soon-to-become hero facing his new adversary in at least one skirmish before the time of the South Island incident. While very little is known about their conflicts in this period, the hedgehog would quickly develop an intense, mutual hatred towards the doctor, thwarting all of his plans for world domination and defeating him with seemingly little effort which led Sonic into becoming the world's number one hero and a protector of all the universe.[25][26] At a later point, Sonic also began to mock his nemesis with the nickname "Dr. Eggman" due to his egg-shaped body; Robotnik himself would eventually get so fed up with this name that he would adopt it as his own as a sign of empowerment.[27][28] However, some sources state that the Sonic and Dr. Eggman would not meet until the start of the South Island incident.[29]
Classic Era[]
Death Egg saga[]
Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)[]
Sonic fighting Dr. Eggman in his Egg Wrecker, from the 16-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991).
In the 16-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Sonic heard news that Dr. Eggman had invaded South Island after the doctor had discovered some six powerful relics, called the "Chaos Emeralds", which were hidden on the island and which he now sought to create a Eggman Empire. The blue hedgehog was annoyed by his perseverance, and hurried out to stop him. As he was later running through Green Hill, Sonic saw a Moto Bug harass some Flickies. After destroying the robot, the hedgehog saw a Flicky get released from it, who then showed him where the doctor was. Upon spotting the hedgehog, the scientist gloated about his new method to enslave the local Animals: trapping them inside robot shells. With this method, he could turn them into robotic servants called Badniks, a method that left Sonic greatly shocked.[25][30]
Despite having the whole island as his arch-enemy, Sonic resolved to fight Badniks in order to save the Animals, get the Chaos Emeralds before Dr. Eggman could get his hands on them, and stop Dr. Eggman himself. After traveling across the island while freeing the local Animals by destroying the Badniks, defeating the doctor on numerous occasions, and securing all six Chaos Emeralds, the hedgehog entered his nemesis' fortress, the Scrap Brain, where Sonic fought and defeated Dr. Eggman and drove him off the island. With the doctor defeated, Sonic reunited with his friends in Green Hill, where he released the Chaos Emeralds, with their power ensuring the island's prosperity and was hailed as a hero.
Sonic the Hedgehog CD[]
Sonic traveling to Little Planet, from Sonic the Hedgehog CD.
In Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Sonic was traveling to Never Lake to explore Little Planet, a small satellite that went near earth once a year. When he arrived, however, he saw that the entire planet had been transformed into a mechanical wasteland and chained to a nearby mountain. After avoiding some falling mountain debris, Sonic noticed Dr. Eggman's face carved into the mountain where the chain was embedded; immediately he knew that his arch-nemesis was behind this and up to no good again and traveled to the Little Planet to liberate it. As he arrived, Sonic learned he could undo Eggman's work by using Little Planet's time passages to change the past and by collecting the native Time Stones, powerful gems capable of controlling the passage of time which Eggman had his eyes on to conquer the world.

Shortly after his arrival, Sonic met Amy Rose, who had a massive crush on him. Only shortly after their meeting though, Amy was captured by Metal Sonic, a robot created by Eggman in Sonic's image to destroy him, leaving Sonic with the task of saving Amy too. Using his unrivaled speed, however, Sonic ensured a good future for Little Planet. He eventually caught up to Metal Sonic and Eggman once again, and raced Metal Sonic at Stardust Speedway with the doctor hot on his heels. While Sonic outraced his metallic doppelganger, Metal Sonic was smashed at the finishing line while Sonic saved Amy from captivity. Sonic went on and defeated Eggman in Metallic Madness, which caused the doctor's bases to collapse. After escaping Little Planet with Amy, Sonic destroyed the chain holding Little Planet and stood in awe as the planet showed his face in a shower of light as a sign of gratitude before warping away, leaving many new flowers growing around the area. Later on, Sonic jumped into his Tornado and left in search of new adventures.[31]
Sonic the Hedgehog 2[]
In Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic was traveling the world in the Tornado in search of adventure, when he discovered West Side Island. Deciding to land there, he began exploring this new region. After a few days, Sonic noticed that someone was following him and saw it was a two-tailed fox cub named Miles "Tails" Prower, who had come to idolize him. As Tails hid upon being discovered, Sonic chose to ignore him and tried running away, but Tails continued to follow him and even kept up with his speed. Impressed by the fox's tenacity and ability to keep up, Sonic decided to let him tag along despite his disinterest in him. Later, during an early afternoon, Sonic was napping under the Tornado when he was awoken by explosions and saw Badniks attacking West Side Island. Standing beside Tails, who was watching him, during the initial attack, Sonic knew that Dr. Eggman was behind this and ran into the center of the attack to find the mad doctor.[32]
It turned out that it was indeed Eggman who was at his old schemes again. This time, he was turning the island residents into Badniks to find the Chaos Emeralds, which were located on the island, to create the Death Egg for conquering the world. Sonic thus set out to stop Eggman, retrieve the Chaos Emeralds, and save the island, with Tails following him all the way.[32] When Sonic obtained all seven of the Chaos Emeralds, he discovered that their powers could turn him into Super Sonic. All the while, Tails proved to be great assistance to Sonic with his unique skills, and the two began forming a strong bond.

After freeing West Side Island, Sonic and Tails followed Dr. Eggman to the Wing Fortress in the Tornado,[33] where the fox and the plane were shot down, forcing the hedgehog to go on alone. When the doctor escaped in his space rocket, Sonic found his friend coming to his aid in an rocket-enhanced Tornado. Catching up to the rocket in the Tornado, the hedgheog rode the ship to the Death Egg where he fought Eggman's Mecha Sonic, followed by the doctor himself in the Death Egg Robot. After a heated battle, the villain was defeated once again, which triggered a chain reaction that made the Death Egg crash, but Sonic escaped by jumping off into space.
Falling through the atmosphere, Sonic was saved by Tails,[33] who had flown into the sky to look for Sonic, and together the two of them flew through the sky. With their adventure at an end, Tails had become Sonic's best friend. Sonic in turn took the fox under his wing as his sidekick, setting the course for their future.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles[]
Sonic the Hedgehog 3[]
In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, many days after stopping the Death Egg, Sonic was napping on the beach while Tails, who had discovered a large reaction of Chaos Emerald energy out on the sea, was trying to seek him out. At the same time, Sonic found an ancient ring washed on the shore, which made him recall a legend about a floating Island in the sky with a highly unique culture supported by powerful stones. Filled with nostalgia, Sonic ultimately headed out with Tails in the Tornado, to check out the energy reaction, ready for another adventure.[34]
Sonic first meeting Knuckles on Angel Island, from Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
When Sonic and Tails reached the location, they found the legendary floating isle, Angel Island, except that the island was kept at the ocean's surface by the Death Egg, which Sonic thought they had destroyed, which had crash-landed on it. Seeing that the Death Egg was currently being rebuilt, Sonic and Tails set out to destroy the Death Egg for good. Sonic used the Chaos Emeralds to transform into his Super State and stormed the island, but when he arrived, Sonic was ambushed by Knuckles the Echidna, the guardian of the floating island and the Master Emerald, who forced the emeralds out of Sonic. The echidna, who had been tricked by Dr. Eggman into believing that Sonic and Tails had come to steal the Master Emerald, thus stole the Chaos Emeralds and escaped with them to hide them.

Despite this setback, Sonic and Tails left to liberate the island from Dr. Eggman's robots. During their adventure, Sonic and Tails were repeatedly ambushed by Knuckles, but they got through each encounter with their lives and recovered the Chaos Emeralds as well. When reaching the Launch Base, Sonic and Tails boarded the Death Egg just as it took off where they faced Eggman, who had returned to defeat Sonic with excessive force. Nevertheless, Sonic defeated Eggman again, with their resulting battle taking its toll on the Death Egg at a critical point of its launch, making it crash into Lava Reef.[33]
Sonic & Knuckles[]
In Sonic & Knuckles, as Sonic and Tails landed in Mushroom Hill after escaping the falling Death Egg, they saw the space station survive another crash landing, this time into the island's volcano. Not content unless the Death Egg was completely destroyed, Sonic set out with Tails once more to find the Death Egg and destroy it and as well discover Dr. Eggman's fate.[33][35] As the duo got through Mushroom Hill, they spotted Knuckles passing through a hidden doorway. After making sure Knuckles was gone, Sonic opened the hidden doorway and looked inside it with Tails, where they found a Giant Ring. Enthralled, Sonic touched it, which took him and Tails to the Emerald Shrine in the Hidden Palace where the Master Emerald rested.[35] Riddled with questions, Sonic and Tails returned to Mushroom Hill to began the next phase of their adventure.

Eventually, the duo reached the Hidden Palace on their own, where Sonic faced Knuckles in an epic showdown and won.[33] The heroes then followed the red echidna as he went to check the Master Emerald, where they saw that Eggman stole it for the purpose of powering the Death Egg. As the doctor escaped with the Master Emerald, Knuckles, having realized the doctor's deceit, befriended Sonic and Tails and guided them to the Sky Sanctuary to reach the Death Egg, though they had to leave Knuckles behind as he was too exhausted from the previous struggles. On their way through the sanctuary, Sonic and Tails fought various Eggrobos and Mecha Sonic Mk. II several times. After their final encounter with the latter, the duo used a crumbling pillar to get on the Death Egg.

Onboard the Death Egg, Sonic and Tails faced Dr. Eggman in his Giant Eggman Robo for a final showdown. After the defeat of the contraption, causing the final destruction of the Death Egg, the villain escaped with the Master Emerald in his Final Weapon, but the hedgehog transformed into Super Sonic/Hyper Sonic and pursued the doctor through space. After a long battle, Sonic beat the doctor's Final Weapon and returned to the world below with the Master Emerald. There, Tails caught him in the Tornado and attached the Emerald to the plane's rear. The two then returned the Master Emerald back to the Floating Island, which slowly began to rise up into the sky. Having made peace with Knuckles, Sonic embarked on a new adventure with Tails.[36]
Some time later, Sonic rescued Knuckles in the Tornado after the latter's fight against the reactivated Mecha Sonic Mk. II at the Sky Sanctuary. The two brought the stolen Master Emerald back to the Floating Island and they parted ways once more.
Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit)[]
In Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit), Sonic came to South Island to liberate it after Dr. Eggman invaded it and kidnapped the local Animals during his search for the island's Chaos Emeralds.[37]

Traveling across the island, which was being polluted by Dr. Eggman's bases, Sonic fought and defeated the villain and his various contraptions several times while collecting the Chaos Emeralds. Eventually making it to his adversary's Scrap Brain, the hedgehog found him there, only for the latter to escape him via an elevator platform leading to the Sky Base. Using the same platform however, Sonic pursued him to the Sky Base. There, he defeated the doctor and his final trap. Upon his defeat though, the scientist escaped through a teleporter. Nevertheless, the hedgehog followed him through the teleporter, which took him to Green Hill. Appearing above Eggman and his Egg Mobile, he landed a decisive blow that made his nemesis crash. Afterward, Sonic released the six Chaos Emeralds he had found, which made the pollution above South Island disappear.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit)[]
In Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit), Sonic, after having saved South Island, had just returned to the island from a casual adventure when he found a note from Tails. In the note, the fox said that he and the Animals of the island had been kidnapped by Dr. Eggman and were now being held captive in the Crystal Egg. To reach his friend, the hedgehog had to collect the Chaos Emeralds. The note also warned him of the doctor's six Master Robots, who were waiting for him. With no time to waste, Sonic set off to save Tails.[38]

Along his adventure, Sonic got the Chaos Emeralds as instructed and took out the Robot Masters, before facing Eggman in the Crystal Egg. However, the doctor escaped through a teleporter upon his defeat. With Tails still missing, the hedgehog almost despaired, but then his friend appeared from the teleporter, unharmed. Though confused at this turn of events, Sonic was happily reunited with the fox and the duo departed for new adventures together.
SegaSonic the Hedgehog[]

In SegaSonic the Hedgehog, Sonic was captured by Dr. Eggman and imprisoned on Eggman Island where he was to be executed along with Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel. Teaming up with Mighty and Ray, Sonic escaped his cell, only to be blown to the other side of the island with Mighty and Ray by a geyser triggered by Eggman. Working together to escape the island, the trio got to Eggman's Tower where they confronted Robotnik. The doctor, however, triggered the self-destruction of the tower, with Sonic, Ray and Mighty managing to escape just in time.
Sonic Chaos[]

In Sonic Chaos, Sonic was out on an adventure with Tails when they heard a rumor saying that Dr. Eggman was seeking the Chaos Emeralds on South Island. Returning home, they found the island in chaos as Eggman had stolen one of the Chaos Emeralds, thereby creating an imbalance that scattered the rest of the Chaos Emeralds and was making the island sink into the ocean. As such, Sonic and Tails set out to get the Chaos Emeralds before it was too late.[39]
In the ensuing battles, Sonic and Tails recovered the lost Chaos Emeralds except one. Afterwards, they defeated Eggman in a final showdown and retrieved the Chaos Emerald in his possession, ensuring South Island's safety once more.
Sonic Drift series[]
Sonic Drift[]
Sonic in the Cyclone, from Sonic Drift.
In Sonic Drift, Sonic took part of a race competition alongside Tails, Amy and Dr. Eggman. Rather than racing on foot, the blue hedgehog chose to use his own racecar, the Cyclone, instead, but was convinced he would win either way.[40]
Throughout the competition, Sonic had to win a series of races taking place in various locations he had explored during the South Island incident. In a possible outcome, he would eventually win.
Sonic Drift 2[]
In Sonic Drift 2, Sonic took part of another race competition where he drove the Cyclone again. This time, he had to win a series of races against Tails, Amy, Dr. Eggman, Nack, Knuckles, and Metal Sonic. At the end of the competition, he would race either the doctor, the weasel or the robot on the Death Egg.
Sonic Spinball[]
Sonic and Tails attacking the Veg-O-Fortress, from the 16-bit version of Sonic Spinball.
In the 16-bit version of Sonic Spinball, Sonic and Tails discovered that Dr. Eggman had taken control of Mount Mobius on Planet Mobius. Here, the doctor had created the Veg-O-Fortress, a fiendish contraption powered by the volcanoes and Chaos Emerald energy, which was turning the local Animals into Badniks. Seeking to stop the villain, the heroes approached the fortress using an airplane piloted by the fox, only to be blasted in mid-fight by Eggman's cannons. Sonic himself jumped out of the plane and fell into the deep waters near the volcano, but managed to make it into the depths of the Veg-O-Fortress. From there, he infiltrated Eggman's vast and deadly pinball defense system. In no time at all, Sonic managed to swipe the sixteen Chaos Emeralds that kept the fortress stable and free the Animals of Mobius.[41] After then making it to the top of the fortress, Eggman tried to escape in his spaceship, but Sonic managed to reach the doctor and defeat him, resulting in the spaceship's destruction. As he fell down from space though, Sonic was saved by Tails, while Eggman and his Veg-O-Fortress fell into the sea.
Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble[]
Sonic facing Nack the Weasel in a Special Stage, from Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble.
In Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble, Sonic and Tails caught wind that Dr. Eggman had lost the Chaos Emeralds following a weapons test and sprung into action to find them. While collected information however, Knuckles, who had been deceived by Eggman that they sought the Emeralds for the wrong reasons, suddenly popped up and gave them a warning before leaving. Despite their adversaries, Sonic's resolve remained unshaken.[42]
Along their adventure, Sonic got all but one of the Chaos Emeralds while overcoming both Knuckles and Nack the Weasel, the latter who wanted the Emeralds for profit. When arriving at Dr. Eggman's base, the Atomic Destroyer, he and Tails faced and beat Metal Sonic, Nack and finally the doctor while retrieving the final Chaos Emerald from him. After that, the heroes freed Knuckles from prison, before taking off on the Tornado towards new adventures.
Knuckles' Chaotix[]
In Knuckles' Chaotix, after Knuckles, Mighty and Team Chaotix defeated Dr. Eggman and Metal Sonic Kai on Newtrogic High Zone, Sonic and Tails would fly by them in the Tornado.
Sonic Labyrinth[]
Sonic noticing the Slow Down Boots, from Sonic Labyrinth.
In Sonic Labyrinth, some days after Tails left on a solo adventure, Sonic awoke from a nap on South Island, but when he slipped his shoes on, he noticed that his feet felt extremely heavy. Upon examination, he noticed Dr. Eggman's insignia on his shoes which proved irremovable. Cursing his carelessness, Sonic noticed Eggman proclaiming to his nemesis that he had switched Sonic's Power Sneakers out with his Slow Down Boots, which disabled Sonic's speed and agility. The only thing that could remove them were the Chaos Emeralds, which Eggman had already hidden away in his new Super Labyrinth on South Island. Unable to chase after the doctor, Eggman began taking over the island. While his speed was gone however, Sonic realized that he could still use his Spin Dash and resolved to brave this labyrinth to get back both his speed and the Emeralds.[43]
With his Spin Dash, Sonic made his way through the labyrinth, and expelled Eggman from the island while regaining the Chaos Emeralds and his regular shoes.
Sonic the Fighters[]
Sonic viewing the Death Egg II from Tails' workshop, from Sonic the Fighters.
In Sonic the Fighters, Sonic learned that Dr. Eggman had built the Death Egg II and was deploying armies of robots from it, which were laying waste to everything. Luckily, Tails had built the Lunar Fox, which he could fly directly to the new Death Egg in and destroy it. However, it was a one-seater and it needed all of the Chaos Emeralds to take off. Sonic and Tails therefore set off to gather the Emeralds from their friends (and enemies), who were safeguarding them, from around the globe. On their first stop however, Sonic got into an argument with Knuckles (one of the Emerald guardians) over who would get to use the Lunar Fox, with Knuckles arguing that only the strongest among them should go. Believing he was more than qualified, Sonic accepted Knuckles' challenge, but before the hedgehog and echidna could fight, Tails got between them and convinced them to fight fair and squarely over the spot in the ring with the other Emerald guardians, and the one who could win against all the contestants got to ride the Lunar Fox. A fighting tournament was subsequently established.[44]
At the end of the tournament, the victor used the Chaos Emeralds to go to the Death Egg II and made it self-destruct moments after escaping it.
Sonic 3D Blast[]
Sonic saving and bringing the Flickies back to the Dimensional Ring, from Sonic 3D Blast.
In Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic traveled with Tails and Knuckles to Flicky Island. Having heard legends about the island's Flickies being the key to find the Chaos Emeralds, the trio journeyed to there to find these birds.[45]
Once they arrived on the island, however, they found the island in a pandemonium and Dr. Eggman nearby, busying himself with turning the Flickies into Badniks. It turned out that Eggman had established a base on the island and was trapping the Flickies so they could power his robots and find the Chaos Emeralds on the island. As Sonic made his presence clear to Eggman who departing in the Egg Mobile, Sonic decided to rescue the island and its inhabitants.[45] In no time, Sonic saved the Flickies on the island and, with the help of Tails and Knuckles, gathered all of the Chaos Emeralds before the doctor could do. The Flickies then helped Sonic enter Dr. Eggman's secret lair, where Sonic beat Eggman in a lengthy battle. Escaping the lair in time, Sonic met the Flickies who thanked him for his help and peace reigned over the island once more.
Sonic Blast[]

In Sonic Blast, Sonic was napping on South Island when he was awoken by a light from a nearby Chaos Emerald which shattered and spread across the island. Eggman then showed up to reveal he was planning to shoot Sonic with a laser beam, but hit the Chaos Emerald instead. Still pleased with the outcome, Eggman planned to use the shards to fortify his Silver Castle. As Sonic was about to head to find the shards, Knuckles showed up and joined him in his quest.[46] Eventually, Sonic and Knuckles got the shards first and destroyed Eggman's fortress.
Sonic R[]
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Dr. Eggman racing together; from Sonic R.
In Sonic R, Sonic was on an adventure with Tails when they saw an advertisement of the World Grand Prix, a racing competition to determine the fastest in the world. Despite Tails' urging, Sonic was not interested in participating, but when he glimpsed Dr. Eggman's name on the list of participants, he changed his mind and ran off to register.[47]
In the competition, Sonic had to face many of his friends, new and old enemies and as well Eggman, who planned to use Sonic to locate the Chaos Emeralds which were on the race tracks. In the end, Sonic kept his title as the fastest thing alive while he and the others kept Dr. Eggman from the Chaos Emeralds.
Modern Era[]
Sonic Adventure[]
Sonic facing Chaos in Station Square, from Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut.
In Sonic Adventure, after a long training journey, Sonic had just returned home through Station Square.[48][49] While enjoying himself running through the buildings of the city however, he saw the Station Square Police Department rushing towards the City Hall. Following them, he saw them attempting to fight Chaos. Noticing that the police could not do anything to fight the monster, the hedgehog stepped in after and defeated him himself, though he escaped.
The next day, Sonic was relaxing near in a hotel in Station Square until he saw Tails crash in his plane at Emerald Coast. After saving the fox, the latter told him to go to his workshop at the Mystic Ruins to see a Chaos Emerald-powered plane he was working on. However, after approaching the workshop, Dr. Eggman appeared to take the Emerald. Though the duo beat the doctor and his Egg Hornet, he snatched the Chaos Emerald and revealed Chaos, whom he transformed into Chaos 1 with the Emerald and told his plan to make him invincible with all seven Chaos Emeralds and then build Eggmanland upon Station Square once the beast razed it. As Eggman fled, the hedgehog set out with Tails to get the Emeralds before their nemesis did.
Sonic and Tails soon got two Chaos Emeralds, only for Eggman to briefly knock them out with sleeping gas and steal one. Unshaken, the duo found another Emerald, but they were attacked by Knuckles, who had been tricked by the doctor into believing the hedgehog had Master Emerald shards. Sonic fought the echidna until he dropped the Chaos Emeralds, which were then taken by Eggman and given to Chaos 2, transforming him into Chaos 4. After Sonic, Tails and Knuckles beat him, their nemesis escaped to his Egg Carrier. The hedgehog and the fox tried followed him in the Tornado, but were shot down.
Sonic encountering Amy in Station Square, from Sonic Adventure.
Landing alone near the beach of Station Square, Sonic began looking for Tails, but instead stumbled across Amy, who wanted him to help her protect Birdie. Despite the blue hedgehog refusing, she followed him until they were attacked by E-100 ZERO, who soon kidnapped her. Sonic attempted to rescue Amy, but ZERO fled with her to the Egg Carrier. The hedgehog tried to reach the ship, though he soon reached a dead end. Fortunately, Tails came in to help in the Tornado 2, and he and Sonic managed to reach the Egg Carrier. There, they found Amy with Eggman, and the hedgehog was attacked by E-102 Gamma. However, before Sonic could destroy the robot, the pink hedgehog convinced him to not do so. As the Egg Carrier began to crash, the blue hedgehog had the fox get Amy to safety while he followed the doctor.
Eventually, Sonic found Eggman with Chaos 6, just as Big the Cat showed up to save Froggy, who was trapped inside Chaos. After the cat saved the frog, Sonic defeated Chaos 6, but as the doctor escaped, Knuckles showed up, whom the doctor left the monster to while he attempted to reach his nemesis. However, he instead falled all the way down to the Mystic Ruins' jungle. There, he found an ancient temple with a mural depicting a monster on the inside. Soon, a mysterious light took the hedgehog back in time to see the Altar of Emerald in ruins and a female echidna trying to stop a catastrophe. Back in the present, Sonic found Eggman run to his Final Egg base. Following him, he found his nemesis piloting the Egg Viper in a last-ditch attempt to defeat the hedgehog. However, Sonic destroyed the Viper and reunited with Tails again as the doctor escaped.
Sonic transforms into Super Sonic to fight Perfect Chaos, from Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut.
While trying to rest, Sonic had to head out when Tails reported that Angel Island had fallen. There, they found both Knuckles and Eggman laying on the ground defeated, and learned that Chaos was still alive, had rebelled against the doctor to destroy the world, and had six Chaos Emeralds. As they were heading out get the last Emerald before the beast did, the hedgehog was drawn into the past again, where he saw the Knuckles Clan's attack on the altar and the female echidna, known as Tikal, sealing herself and Chaos inside the Master Emerald. Back in the present, Sonic and the fox found the seventh Emerald in the Tornado 2, but lost it to Chaos, who became Perfect Chaos and attacked Station Square. As the monster destroyed the Egg Carrier 2, Tikal came to the hedgehog to explain that Chaos was blinded by wrath. After Perfect Chaos released the drained Chaos Emeralds, the female echidna wanted to seal Chaos again, but Sonic said it would not work as he would still be full of rage. His friends then came with the Emeralds, claiming that he could still use their positive energy. Transforming into Super Sonic, Sonic defeated Perfect Chaos while neutralizing his anger. As he and Tikal departed, the hedgehog noticed Eggman making his escape and decided to head off himself for his next adventure.
Sonic Shuffle[]

Sonic being transported to Maginaryworld, from Sonic Shuffle.
In Sonic Shuffle, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy were suddenly transported to the Temple of Light in Maginaryworld. There, they met Lumina Flowlight who had brought them here to help her restore the Perfect Precioustone which had been shattered by Void and caused its guardian, Illumina, to disappear. With Maginaryworld endangered by Void without the Precioustone, Sonic and his team promised to help. While recovering the Precioustone pieces and restoring the worlds affected by Void, Sonic occasionally had dreams where he met Void. While initially defying Void, Sonic and his friends noticed he was lonely and sad which touched their hearts, and they soon realized that Void and Lumina were two halves of the same being.
After returning all the Precioustones to the Temple of Light, Sonic and the group headed there to stop Void when he sought the Perfect Precioustone again. There, Void succumbed to his despair and became a monster. Though Sonic and his team defeated Void, Lumina lost hope as the Perfect Precioustone was not recovering. As Sonic found Void in the form of a dark gem, Sonic helped cheer Lumina up by telling her that she should not reject Void as the negative feelings that he embodies makes it possible for people to dream. Sonic then gave Void to Lumina and witnessed her restoring the Perfect Precioustone, and Lumina and Void returning to their original form, Illumina. With Maginaryworld restored to an even better place, Sonic and the gang received Illumina's gratitude before returning home.
Sonic Adventure 2[]
Sonic cornered by G.U.N., from Sonic Adventure 2.
In Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic was on his own when he met the Guardian Units of Nations who arrested him for robbing a federal reserve bank of a Chaos Emerald. Handcuffed, Sonic was brought onboard a helicopter, but he managed to escape while over Central City. Soon after, Sonic encountered Shadow the Hedgehog, who resembles Sonic and is the true thief of the Chaos Emerald, and he possess the similar abilities like Sonic. Realizing that he had been mistaken for him, Sonic attacked Shadow, but Shadow used Chaos Control to escape. No sooner, Sonic was cornered and arrested by G.U.N. and locked up on Prison Island. The following day though, Sonic found Amy at his cell, who had come with Tails to break him out. While freeing Sonic, Amy revealed Shadow was on the island and Dr. Eggman was behind it all. With this information, Sonic left to find Shadow. When he did, Sonic fought Shadow until he heard that the island was about to explode on Eggman's radio. Sonic, however, found Tails and Amy and escaped the island before it exploded.
Back in Central City, Sonic, Tails and Amy saw Eggman's broadcast, where he revealed the Eclipse Cannon, powered by six Chaos Emeralds, on the Space Colony ARK. After demonstrating the Eclipse Cannon blowing up half of the Moon, Eggman demanded world control within 24 hours or he would fire at earth. With Eggman as their new target now, Sonic distracted the police as they arrived to give Tails time to track Eggman. He soon contacted Tails and heard they could use the communication link to Eggman in the President's limousine to find him. Meeting up inside the limo, Sonic and Tails learned that Eggman was on the Space Colony ARK.
With Knuckles' help, Sonic, Tails and Amy found Eggman's base where they hoped to find a space ship to the ARK so they could destroy the Eclipse Cannon. After infiltrating the base, where Sonic enlisted Knuckles to find the keys to the center, they were ambushed by Eggman and his Egg Golem. However, Sonic defeated the robot and joined the others in a space shuttle. While en route to Space Colony ARK, Knuckles tried to take control of the shuttle when a stray asteroid force-open the cargo bay and released his Emerald Shards, causing Sonic and the others to crash land on the ARK. Onboard, Sonic got a fake Emerald from Tails that he could use to destroy the Eclipse Cannon from the inside out when Tails turned off the power. When Sonic reached the control room, however, he was contacted by Dr. Eggman, who demanded the final Chaos Emerald or he would kill Amy.

Meeting with Eggman, Sonic thought he could trick him into taking the fake Emerald. Eggman, however, saw through this (with Tails unintentionally confirming Eggman's suspicions, much to Sonic's chagrin) and Sonic was captured in a capsule set to explode and ejected into space after saying goodbye to his friends. Before the capsule could explode, however, Sonic used Chaos Control with the fake Emerald to warp himself back to the ARK. There, Sonic got Knuckles to find Tails and Amy while he went to the cannon to destroy it with the fake Emerald. On his way there, Sonic met Shadow and fought him once more. After Sonic won, he destroyed the Eclipse Cannon just before it fired.
Back onboard, Sonic and Knuckles met Rouge, who revealed the ARK was now on a collision course towards earth. There, Sonic and all the others saw a recording of Gerald Robotnik announcing to the world that the ARK would crash into the planet and destroy it as his revenge at humanity for the death of his granddaughter, Maria. Banding together with Eggman, Sonic and the group came up with plan of using the Master Emerald to deactivate the cannon's core, which was powered by the seven Chaos Emeralds, to stop the Space Colony's crash course.

When Sonic and Knuckles reached the core, they were intercepted by the Biolizard, but Shadow appeared, now on their side, and held it off, while they deactivated the Chaos Emeralds. In response, the Biolizard warped outside the ARK and became the Finalhazard to keep the ARK on its collision course. Determined to stop it, Sonic and Shadow used the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic and Super Shadow, and they defeated the Finalhazard before sending the ARK back into orbit with Chaos Control. Back onboard, Sonic informed the others that Shadow had seemingly died after stopping the ARK, before giving Shadow's Inhibitor Ring to Rouge and assuring her that Shadow was a great hero. After processing Shadow's death, Sonic suggested that they all went home and he bid farewell to his worthy rival, the charges against Sonic and the others being dropped offscreen.
Sonic Advance series[]
Sonic Advance[]
In Sonic Advance, Sonic joined forces with Tails, Knuckles and Amy to stop Dr. Eggman from obtaining the seven Chaos Emeralds. Over the course of their adventure, Sonic and his friends got the Chaos Emeralds first and followed Eggman to the X-Zone. After they defeated the Egg X, Sonic chased after Eggman. When Eggman fled to the Moon though, Sonic used the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic and pursued the doctor. On the moon's surface, Super Sonic defeated Eggman and his Super Egg Robo. After the fight, Super Sonic seemingly disappeared, only to reappear in the sky a few days later where he met Tails in the Tornado.
Sonic Advance 2[]
Sonic meeting Cream and Cheese for the first time, from Sonic Advance 2.
In Sonic Advance 2, Sonic learned that Dr. Eggman kidnapped Tails and Knuckles when he tried again to build the Eggman Empire. As such, Sonic headed out to save his friends. Along the way, Sonic met Cream the Rabbit and Cheese, who where held hostage by Dr. Eggman. After saving Cream and Cheese from Eggman, Sonic tried to leave them, but the duo followed him as Cream wanted to save her mother, Vanilla, who was held captive by Eggman too.
Following that, Sonic rescued Tails and Knuckles from Eggman (the latter who had been tricked by Eggman into fighting him) who also joined him on his adventure. After hunting down and seemingly defeating Eggman, Sonic and the others found Vanilla, only to have her kidnapped by Eggman in his new mech. Seeing Cream cry at the loss of her mother, Sonic transformed into Super Sonic and both defeated Eggman and saved Vanilla.
As they fell through the atmosphere, Super Sonic tried to break the fall of the capsule containing Vanilla, but the re-entry tore the capsule apart and Super Sonic powered down to normal. However, Sonic caught Vanilla and brought her safely back down to the ground. There, Sonic reunited Cream and her mother and he thanked Tails and Knuckles for their help before running off again, looking for new adventures.
Sonic Advance 3[]
Sonic and Tails witnessing the planet being split apart, from Sonic Advance 3.
In Sonic Advance 3, while hanging out with Tails, Sonic witnessed Dr. Eggman splitting the earth into seven regions with Chaos Control so he could turn each region into a part of the Eggman Empire. Sonic thus set out with Tails to restore the world and collect the Chaos Emeralds before Eggman could.
During their adventure, Sonic and Tails found Knuckles, Amy and Cream who joined them. Along the way, Sonic also faced Dr. Eggman's newest creation, Gemerl, a rebuilt version of Emerl. After securing the seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic and his friends made it to the Emerald Altar where they beat the Hyper Eggrobo and used the Master Emerald to return the world to normal. Sonic then followed Eggman and Gemerl, until Gemerl betrayed Eggman, took the seven Chaos Emeralds from Sonic and transformed into Ultimate Gemerl. Sonic, however, took the discarded Chaos Emeralds and transformed into Super Sonic. Putting aside their differences to fight a common enemy, Super Sonic and Eggman joined forces and defeated Ultimate Gemerl.
With Ultimate Gemerl's defeat, Sonic passed out in the following explosion, but woke up back home and found himself surrounded by his friends who had awaited his return. After seeing Eggman leaving, Sonic then headed out himself, searching for new adventures.
Sonic Battle[]
In Sonic Battle, Sonic found a Gizoid robot during a stroll at Emerald Beach. As he examined it, Sonic displayed some fighting moves upon its request, forming a Link with it. Sonic decided to take it to Tails to get it examined, but ran into Shadow, who demanded the Gizoid. Sonic refused and beat him in battle. After Shadow told Sonic to keep the Gizoid from Eggman and left, Sonic presented Tails with the Gizoid, but then saw Rouge on the beach and went to question her. Rouge told Sonic she and the government were after the Gizoid too, but Sonic got her to leave after fighting her. When returning to Tails' Lab, Sonic encountered and defeated an E-121 Phi before finding Tails unharmed, much to his relief. Tails revealed that the Gizoid evolved with each Chaos Emerald inserted into it and that it could copy fighting moves. Thrilled, Sonic decided to train it.
Sonic naming the Gizoid "Emerl", from Sonic Battle.
After some training, Sonic named the Gizoid "Emerl," and they and Tails decided to see if Knuckles had a Chaos Emerald to help Emerl evolve. On the way, they faced an E-121 Phi and Chaos Gamma, but defeated both. When they got there, however, Knuckles mistook Emerl for an E-121 Phi and attacked him. After Emerl beat Knuckles, Sonic and Tails explained everything and got Knuckles' Chaos Emerald which they gave to Emerl.
Sonic continued training Emerl, until Tails decided to take Emerl to Central City for examination. When they returned, Sonic heard from Tails and Rouge that Emerl was a weapon of mass destruction, but Sonic refused to believe it and suggested they could reprogram Emerl, and Rouge revealed that they could reset Emerl by inserting all seven Chaos Emeralds into him and giving him an unknown keyword. While wary of Rouge's motives, Sonic nevertheless introduced her to Emerl (forming a Link with her), but then Rouge left. Knuckles then arrived and Sonic told what had happen before he and Emerl began to tease him, which let to a fight between the three of them.
From there, Sonic continued Emerl's training until he saw Amy coming and ran away, only to learn when he returned that Rouge had stolen Emerl. Sonic later found Emerl with Rouge and engaged her in battle with Tails and Knuckles' aid and eventually made Rouge surrender Emerl. Later on, Sonic left Emerl with Tails for a while and when he returned, he heard from Emerl that Knuckles had been tricked by Eggman during his absence. Soon after, Sonic and Emerl met Amy again, who viewed Emerl as hers and Sonic’s "baby". As Sonic was berated by Amy for his parenting, he ran off when Emerl made a bad choice of words. He later returned and was told by Amy that he had to marry her now since she had helped raising Emerl, but Sonic fled after tricking Amy to close her eyes.
Sonic and Tails later left Emerl in Amy's and Cream’s care, when they checked out a lead on a Chaos Emerald, which turned out to be fake. Later, Sonic was contacted by Eggman who claimed he held Cream and Emerl hostage, but he did not believe him when he could not prove it (as Emerl and Cream had escaped). He later saw Eggman captured in his own "spiky rodent trap" by Emerl and Cream on-screen, and headed out to pick them up.
Sonic later met Shadow again and thought he want to capture Emerl, but heard that it was not his intention. Shadow informed Sonic that Emerl only needed one more Chaos Emerald to awake his full power, which would destroy the world, but Sonic believed Emerl would not do that since he had a heart like Shadow, who was also a top secret ultimate weapon. As Shadow brushed off his arguments, Sonic gave up trying to convince Shadow and let him have Emerl. Despite Emerl being attracted to Shadow's Chaos Emerald, Sonic let Emerl go with Shadow, believing he would learn who he really was with his help. When Emerl then came to fight Shadow after having reset to a good robot, Sonic teamed up with Shadow to test Emerl's abilities to the fullest. After the fight, Sonic saw that Emerl no longer needed him and told him to live his life on his own, though he noted his punches could use some work.
Later on, Sonic and Emerl met Eggman, who announced that he would use his Final Egg Blaster on his newest Death Egg to conquer the world before escaping. Sonic and Emerl then met up with Tails, who had brought a transporter to the Death Egg with him. There, Sonic chose Emerl to stop Eggman since the transporter could only send one person at the time.
Sonic preparing for the final battle, from Sonic Battle.
When Emerl left for the Death Egg, Sonic and his friends watched Emerl through a monitor on the Death Egg. After Emerl defeated Eggman however, the doctor fired the Final Egg Blaster and destroyed some stars, causing Emerl to revert back to his original programming. However, Eggman was unable to control Emerl as expected, and Emerl prepared to fire the Final Egg Blaster at the earth. As The Master Emerald then appeared, Sonic went to the Death Egg with it, hoping to neutralize Emerl's power, but Emerl smashed the Master Emerald. Tails then told Sonic that he could stop Emerl by damaging him, but it would destroy him. With a heavy heart, Sonic engaged Emerl in battle and defeated him with his full strength.
As Emerl began to say farewell, Sonic, in a rare chase of emotional denial, tried to assure Emerl that everything would be fine, only for Emerl to disappear in a flash. Back home, Sonic tried to comfort his friends over Emerl’s death and was positive they would see Emerl again one day.
Sonic Heroes[]
In Sonic Heroes, Sonic was running around on his own world tour when he met Tails and Knuckles in the Tornado 2, who gave him a letter from Dr. Eggman. In the letter, Eggman claimed to have created "the ultimate weapon" to conquer the world with and that he challenged them to stop him within three days. Confident as ever, Sonic took off to stop Eggman with Tails and Knuckles right behind him, officially forming Team Sonic.
Team Sonic began their mission by tracking down Dr. Eggman to Ocean Palace. There, they defeated his Egg Hawk, but Eggman escaped. After that, Team Sonic tracked Eggman to Grand Metropolis. After liberating the city from Eggman's control, and escaping the Power Plant, Team Sonic came across Team Rose, who began fighting them. However, Sonic used the fight as a distraction to escape Amy.
Sonic discovering that their challenge letter was a trap, from Sonic Heroes.
Team Sonic then arrived in Casino Park. After passing through the city, Team Sonic was attacked by Eggman's robot hordes, which they defeated. As they chased Eggman to Rail Canyon and only having until sunset, Sonic and his team reached Bullet Station and destroying Eggman's local base. There, the team found Eggman in the Egg Albatross and defeated him. However, Team Sonic then discovered that the Eggman they had been chasing was a fake and that their challenge letter was to distract them while Eggman launched his Egg Fleet. Enraged, Sonic ran off in pursuit of Eggman.
Resuming their chase after Eggman through the jungle, Team Sonic encountered Team Dark. Amazed to see Shadow was still alive, Sonic and his team fought Team Dark to decide who went after Eggman. After the battle, Sonic saw Eggman and Shadow head towards Hang Castle and lead his team that way. After infiltrating the castle and escaping Mystic Mansion, Team Sonic was attacked by Eggman's robot hordes, but they quickly beat them.
After that, Team Sonic got to the Egg Fleet, where they traveled across the flagships to the Final Fortress and destroyed the flagship's core. Afterwards, Team Sonic found Dr. Eggman in his Egg Emperor and defeated him. After heavily destroying the Egg Fleet, Sonic was teased by Knuckles on how he would not have done this on his own, but surprised Knuckles by agreeing and thanked both him and Tails for their help. No sooner though, Amy came running and Sonic tried to escape.
Sonic supported by his team, from Sonic Heroes.
Sometime later, Team Sonic and the other teams witnessed the return of Metal Sonic, who had been staging the teams' adventures and impersonating Eggman so he could follow them and copy their data for a plan to conquer the world himself, as he transformed into Metal Madness. Seeing that the teams had all the Chaos Emeralds, the real Dr. Eggman came up with the plan of using them against Metal Sonic. Though their chances of winning were slim, Sonic volunteered to go up against Metal Sonic alone, but was joined by Knuckles and Tails while the other teams volunteered to buy them some time. Accepting everyone's help, Sonic and his team got the Chaos Emeralds ready while Team Rose, Dark and Chaotix fought Metal Madness.
As Metal Madness transformed into Metal Overlord, Sonic transformed into Super Sonic, whilst granting Tails and Knuckles their own Super States. The team then took off and defeated Metal Overlord. Back on the flagship, Sonic stood triumphant over Metal Sonic, until he saw Amy coming ready to chase him once again. Sonic then told Metal Sonic that he would be ready for a rematch anytime and left with Tails. Soon after, Sonic reunited with Knuckles, and he headed out with his team to find their next adventure.
Shadow the Hedgehog[]
Sonic and his friends, from Shadow the Hedgehog.
In Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic worked with most of his friends and GUN's forces to repel the Black Arms' invasion of the earth. He often appeared during Shadow's Hero missions, helping Shadow fight the Black Arms and their leader, Black Doom.
Westopolis[]
While fighting the Black Arms in Westopolis, Sonic came across Shadow, who was looking for the Chaos Emeralds, and asked for his help in taking out the enemy.
In the Hero scenario, where Shadow accepted Sonic's request, Sonic tried to chat with Shadow after completing their objective and suggest a friendly face-off, but was declined. After Doom's Eye arrived and told them where the next Chaos Emerald was, Sonic ran off to its location with Shadow.
Lethal Highway[]
Sonic and Shadow facing the Black Bull, from Shadow the Hedgehog.
Having arrived at Lethal Highway before Shadow, Sonic found the Black Tank containing the Chaos Emerald the Black Arms had taken. As Sonic chased after the Black Tank, he met up with Shadow and asked for his assistance.
In the Hero scenario where Shadow agreed to help Sonic, the two destroyed the Black Tank before it could escape Westopolis. However, as they tried to collect the Chaos Emerald, Sonic and Shadow were confronted by Doom's Eye, who summoned the Black Bull to stop them. Nevertheless, Sonic and Shadow defeated the Black Bull and claimed the Chaos Emerald.
Mad Matrix and Death Ruins[]
In the Hero missions of Mad Matrix and Death Ruins, Sonic had learned the Black Arms were heading out to the Space Colony ARK, and decided to follow them. With a spacecraft provided by Tails, Sonic went on his way to the ARK alone. While passing through Iron Jungle, however, Sonic came across Shadow and invited him to come with him. Shadow accepted Sonic's offer and the two of them took off.
Sky Troops[]
Sonic offering Shadow a ride into space, from Shadow the Hedgehog.
In the Hero scenario of Sky Troops, Sonic had learned the Black Arms were heading out to the Space Colony ARK, and decided to follow them there. Using a spacecraft from Tails, Sonic headed for the ARK alone. While passing through Iron Jungle, however, Sonic came across Shadow and invited him to come with him to the ARK. Shadow accepted Sonic's offer and the two of them took off.
As Sonic and Shadow approached the ARK in their spacecraft, the Black Arms' forces were waiting for them en masse. Excited about the challenge, Sonic hurried out to engage the enemies with Shadow.
Space Gadget[]
When Sonic and Shadow made it to the Space Colony ARK as they followed the Black Arms, Sonic saw that they were in familiar surroundings, and tried to make Shadow recall the time they raced each other there. Sonic then challenged Shadow to a race through Space Gadget to the Chaos Emerald on board the ARK.
In the Hero scenario, where Shadow accepts the challenge, Sonic was beaten in the race and Shadow claimed the Chaos Emerald. As the two made their way through the ARK, Sonic and Shadow caught a glimpse of the Black Comet as it roared past the ARK. When Shadow asked what it was, Sonic realized that Shadow suspected the Black Comet was connected to the Black Arms. As Shadow suddenly sensed the Black Arms on the Black Comet, Sonic and Shadow decided to head there.
Lost Impact[]
In the Hero scenario of Lost Impact, Sonic made it on board the Space Colony ARK with Shadow as they followed the Black Arms. As the two made their way through the ARK, Sonic and Shadow caught a glimpse of the Black Comet.

After traveling from Space Colony ARK to the Black Comet, Sonic and Shadow made their way to the Final Haunt on the Black Comet, planning to stop Black Doom and the alien invasion of Earth.
In the Hero scenario, Sonic and Shadow began hunting for Black Doom. After obtaining another Chaos Emerald within Black Doom's inner sanctum, Sonic and Shadow finally found Black Doom and defeated him. As Shadow took the final Chaos Emerald from Black Doom, Sonic stood by Shadow's side, as Shadow pronounced he would use the Emeralds to stop the Black Arms and protect the earth.
In the Dark scenario, Sonic was betrayed by Shadow when he abandoned their original goal and began aiding the Black Arms with sealing off Black Doom's inner sanctum. In the last minute, Sonic encountered the Commander in the Diablon, and teamed up with him to stop Shadow. When they found Shadow, Sonic was confused why Shadow sided with the Black Arms, but was amused to hear he did so just to get the opportunity to prove his superiority to him. However, Sonic and the G.U.N. Commander were utterly defeated, and Shadow took the final Chaos Emerald from them. Sonic then commended Shadow for his nerve to do this, before Shadow announced he was now the most powerful hedgehog in the world.

Sonic laying defeated before Shadow, from Shadow the Hedgehog.
In the Dark scenario of Black Comet, as Shadow was decimating GUN's forces on behalf of the Black Arms, Sonic teamed up with the Commander in the Diablon to stop Shadow. When they found Shadow, Sonic refused to let him do this, but he and the Commander were utterly defeated by Shadow, who took the final Chaos Emerald from them. As Sonic questioned Shadow why he sided with the Black Arms, Shadow proclaimed himself as the servant of Black Doom.

When they found Shadow, Sonic refused to let him do this, but he and the Commander were utterly defeated by Shadow, who took the final Chaos Emerald from them. As Sonic asked Shadow what he planned to do with the Emeralds, Shadow claimed he would use them to destroy the earth.
Last Story[]
In the last story, Sonic arrived with Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge and Dr. Eggman to stop Shadow from giving Black Doom the Chaos Emeralds. Black Doom, however, took the Emeralds and used an enhanced Chaos Control to transport the Black Comet to the surface, intending to use humans as energy sources for the Black Arms. Before Sonic could act, he and the others were paralyzed by a nerve gas and Black Doom unleashed the Death leeches on them. Shadow however, was immune to the gas and as he left to stop Black Doom, Sonic told him that he was their only hope left.
Sonic and the others eventually escaped the Black Comet and found some shelter from where they cheered Super Shadow on as he defeated Devil Doom. He then witnessed Super Shadow sending the Black Comet back into space and destroying it with the Eclipse Cannon. Impressed by Shadow's victory, Sonic joined the others for a laugh as an enraged Knuckles chased Eggman around.
Sonic Rush[]
Sonic meets Blaze for the first time, from Sonic Rush.
In Sonic Rush, Sonic came across Dr. Eggman, who claimed that he would soon possess "the ultimate power". After defeating the doctor, he saw that he dropped a Sol Emerald, but then suddenly he met Blaze the Cat, who took it and left. The hedgehog later met up with Tails and explained about what had happened. Excited by this challenge, Sonic left with his friend to stop his nemesis' newest scheme.
At Water Palace, Sonic first encountered Eggman Nega, a new foe that had teamed up with Dr. Eggman. After defeating him, he and Tails headed to the latter's workshop, where they learned that there was a rift in the space-time continuum that threatened reality itself. While the fox suspected Eggman Nega may be involved in this, the hedgehog thought that Blaze might also be a part of this. While fighting Nega and searching for info, the heroes met Vanilla and learned from her that Cream was with the cat. Once the adult rabbit told where to find them, Sonic took off to get answers from Blaze.
During their search, Sonic and Tails came to a path closed by rocks from where Knuckles emerged. They then heard from the echidna that he got trapped under the rocks when chasing Blaze. As Knuckles smashed some rocks in fury, the duo continued through the path he had cleared. Soon after, they found Blaze and Cream, and the hedgehog asked the former about Eggman Nega, but the cat noted she would deal with the villain and the crisis alone. Sonic tried to tell her they should work together, but she declined and left with Cream, forcing him and the fox to follow them. Along the way, the two ran into Amy, who provided them with directions to where Blaze went when they asked (though Sonic was hesitant to ask since Amy thought he liked Blaze).
Sonic and Blaze clash, from Sonic Rush.
Eventually, Sonic tracked Blaze to Dead Line where they faced both Eggmen. While he insisted on helping, the cat refused and tried to force him to leave by fighting him, a battle the hedgehog tried to stop. As their clash ended in a draw, Sonic saw that she was still willing to manage the crisis and he understood her rough past. He then told her not to handle too much on her own and be true to herself, making her realize she could rely on others, and the two became friends.
With Blaze on their side, Sonic learned that the space-time rift was because her world, the Sol Dimension, was merging with his universe due to the Sol Emeralds having been stolen and brought to his world. Hearing that the Eggmen were to blame, the hedgehog decided to confront Eggman Nega on the cat's behalf, since she was not in shape to fight. Just before Sonic could leave, however, he and the others noticed Cream was gone and found a letter left by Dr. Eggman that said he held her hostage and that Blaze had to come to Point W alone. Sonic suggested that they gathered help, but the cat insisted on going alone because the rabbit was her friend, which he allowed. While Tails doubted this, the hedgehog assured him by saying that believing in someone was a part of friendship. Sonic himself then faced and defeated Eggman Nega. After the fight, he was welcomed back by his friends, but ran off when he saw Amy coming.
Having collected all the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic came to Blaze's aid when Eggman and Eggman Nega's Egg Salamander drained her Sol Emeralds' power. As the villains left to prepare for the coming fight, the hedgehog encouraged her as she despaired, and, with his friends backing her up, he assured her that the Sol Emeralds would never lose their power due to the friendships she had made. This caused the gems to recharge. Sonic and the cat then used their Emeralds to become Super Sonic and Burning Blaze and together they defeated the Eggmen. As the space-time continuum began to restore itself, the hedgehog promised his new friend they would meet again as she planned to head home. The two then shook hands as the continuum pulled them apart and returned them to their own worlds. Back home, Sonic found Cream, who was sad over Blaze's departure, but cheered her up by telling her she would be back.
Sonic Riders[]
Sonic facing Jet for the first time, from Sonic Riders.
In Sonic Riders, Team Sonic arrived at Future City to search for a Chaos Emerald, when they saw the Babylon Rogues. Tails read on his radar that they had the Chaos Emerald, and Sonic ran off to intercept them. After Knuckles knocked Storm off his Type-S, Sonic chased after Jet on the Type-S, but was blown off the Extreme Gear by Jet, and the Babylon Rogues subsequently escaped. Regardless of the outcome, Sonic was excited to have found new competition.
The next day, Team Sonic saw Dr. Eggman announcing the EX World Grand Prix, an Extreme Gear competition with entry fee being a Chaos Emerald, and the victory prize to winner being the rights to claim all seven Emeralds. Sonic was initially suspicious, but when he saw that the participants Dr. Eggman had found were non other than the Babylon Rogues, he decided to enter the competition.
After the qualifications rounds, Sonic was with his team when he met Amy, who also signed up for the tournament, much to his discomfort. After hearing Tails' explanation about the legends of the Babylon Rogues and Babylon Garden, the group ran into Wave the Swallow who mocked Tails' Blue Star (and placed a bomb on it), leaving Sonic annoyed by her behavior. No sooner though, Sonic and the other had to hurry off to next race.
As Sonic made it to the semifinals, he took time off to practice his Extreme Gear skills with his team when they were interrupted by Jet, who mocked Sonic before leaving. While angered, Sonic did not believe he should underestimate Jet. Tails then began to doubt the Blue Star he had made for Sonic, but Sonic told him not to worry.
When Sonic and his team reached the finals, Sonic vowed to a taunting Jet that he would not to lose. When Sonic was about to win the race, Wave detonated the bomb she had placed on Sonic’s Blue Star, causing him to lose to Jet, much to Sonic's frustration. Sonic and the others then watched as Jet claimed the seven Chaos Emeralds and used them in tandem with the Key to Babylon Garden to reveal Babylon Garden itself, with the intention of claiming its treasure. Dr. Eggman, however, quickly stole the Key so that he could take the treasure for himself, believing it to be technology that he could use to conquer the world. Calling his team, Sonic headed out to stop Eggman. Using the Tornado 2, Team Sonic arrived at Babylon Garden, where Sonic received the Blue Star II from Tails and went after Eggman on it. On the way however, he was pitted again Jet, who was after Eggman as well, and Sonic raced against Jet to Eggman as a rematch.
Sonic and Jet part ways, from Sonic Riders.
Sonic eventually beat Jet and cornered Dr. Eggman, but stopped when Eggman showed that he held Amy hostage. Sonic, however, dove into Eggman, plus Amy in the process, and blew them away. Sonic then took back the Key to Babylon Garden and handed it back to the Rouges, despite Jet's refusal. As the Rogues went to claim the treasure, Sonic decided to leave when Amy, furious at him for endangering her, chased after him with her Piko Piko Hammer. No sooner, Sonic and the others heard a roar from inside Babylon Garden and went to check it out. There, they saw that the Babylon Rogues had accidently awoken the Babylon Guardian, leaving them forced to fight it. After beating the guardian, Sonic, Jet, and the others found the true treasure of Babylon, which turned out to just be a Magic Carpet, much to the disappointment of Dr. Eggman. With the whole ordeal over and with their rivalry now more friendly, Sonic promised Jet that he would be ready to race him again the next time they met, before taking his leave with his friends.
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)[]
Sonic arriving in Soleanna to save Princess Elise, from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Sonic visited the Principality of Soleanna during the Festival of the Sun where he saved their monarch Princess Elise from Dr. Eggman who was after the Flames of Disaster known as Iblis to help him rule the world which was sealed inside Elise. As Sonic brought Elise to safety, he got distracted by Eggman's mechs and Eggman kidnapped Elise and escaped, though not before Sonic received her Chaos Emerald. Determined to save Elise, Sonic teamed up with Tails the next day and tried to catch the Egg Carrier at Wave Ocean, but failed.
After returning to the city, Sonic and Tails learned Eggman was in Dusty Desert. There, they found Elise, only for Eggman to attack them with the Egg Cerberus. After Sonic destroyed it, Sonic escaped Eggman's forces with Elise by letting Tails create a diversion. As they escaped, Elise treated Sonic's injuries and apologized for them, but Sonic insisted her smile was all he needed. Sonic was then filled in on the Flames of Disaster and Solaris (Soleanna's sun god) by Elise, who grew worried of what Eggman would do with it. However, Sonic cheered her up with a run and gave her some advice to go by.
Sonic taking Eggman's message, from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
Back in Soleanna Castle Town with Elise, Sonic was attacked by Silver the Hedgehog, who claimed that Sonic would destroy his world. Sonic initially had the upper hand, but Silver caught him off-guard and incapacitated him. Meanwhile, Sonic saw Eggman kidnap Elise again, but was unable to save her. Luckily, Sonic was saved when Amy stopped Silver from finishing him off, and he chased after Eggman. Sonic then met up with Tails and Knuckles in Soleanna New City, who gave him a message from Eggman demanding Sonic’s Chaos Emerald in exchange for Elise. Despite knowing it was a trap, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles arrived at Eggman's HQ in White Acropolis, where Sonic gave Eggman the Chaos Emerald, but was tricked and sent to the future by Eggman's prototype time machine with his friends. Arriving in a ravaged future, they met Shadow and Rouge. They then decided to work together to get home by finding enough Chaos Emeralds for a Chaos Control powerful enough for time travel.
While searching for the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles briefly saw Silver and Blaze talking with Mephiles before they went back in time. From their database, the group learned that Elise would die in the Egg Carrier's future crash-landing, leaving Sonic more determined than ever to save her. Locating a Chaos Emerald in Flame Core, Sonic his friends met up with Rouge and Shadow and journeyed there, where they were attacked by Iblis when they found the Emerald. After Sonic and Shadow defeated it, they used their Chaos Emeralds to make a rift back to the present. Through it, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles got back to the present.
Locating Elise on Eggman's train, Sonic managed to save the princess, but was attack by Silver again. While caught in the fight, Sonic saw Eggman kidnap Elise again. Fortunately, Shadow arrived and held Silver off while Sonic saved Elise again and destroyed the Egg Genesis. As they fled from Eggman's robots, Sonic took Elise to a beautiful location to cheer her up. There, Sonic told Elise that he would leave once he defeated Eggman, but cheered her up when she was sad about his departure.
After that, Sonic returned Elise to the castle but after hearing that Eggman kidnapped Elise again, he ran off to save her. On his way, Sonic was attacked by Eggman's robots, but was assisted by Silver, who now wanted help Sonic. Unfortunately, Sonic was too late as Eggman’s ship crashed and exploded with Elise inside as predicted. However, Silver had the plan to send Sonic back in time to save Elise by using Chaos Control with two Chaos Emeralds to create a rift. Sonic promised Silver to change his future by saving Elise before heading into the rift. Arriving at the day before, Sonic bordered the Egg Carrier as it departed Aquatic Base and defeated Eggman in the Egg Wyvern before narrowly escaping the exploding Egg Carrier with Elise.
On their way back to the city, Sonic and Elise were distracted by a Chaos Emerald. Mephiles then appeared and impaled Sonic, killing him. Despairing over Sonic's death, Elise cried and released Iblis from within her, allowing Mephiles to merge with Iblis. Now whole again, Solaris created a spatial distortion that transported Sonic's body and Elise to the End of the World. There, Sonic's allies and Eggman saw Sonic’s dead body in Elise’s arms, each showing sadness at his death.
Sonic being revived by the Chaos Emeralds, from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
Sonic’s soul had yet to pass on at this point though and Elise sensed his presence. Realizing that it was not too late, everyone gathered all the Chaos Emeralds to restore Sonic to life. Revived as Super Sonic by Elise's kiss and the Emeralds, Sonic turned Shadow and Silver into Super Shadow and Super Silver and they defeated Solaris. Sonic and Elise were then sent back to when Solaris was just a flame. If Elise blew out the candle it would destroy Solaris forever, but it would mean the events leading to Elise's meeting with Sonic would never had happened. Sonic, however, encouraged Elise to accept things as they were and she extinguished the candle. Time was reverted, but Sonic still traveled to Soleanna where he watched the Festival of the Sun happily.
Sonic Rivals[]
In Sonic Rivals, when Onyx Island appeared at the sea, Sonic and Tails went to investigate it, suspecting it was another of Dr. Eggman's schemes.[50] When they arrived, Sonic spotted who he believed to be Dr. Eggman, but was really Eggman Nega disguised as Eggman (Sonic however, does not realize this throughout the game). Sonic confronted the doctor, but Eggman Nega pulled out a card depicting Amy Rose and explained he had turned Amy into a card with a special camera. Sonic did not believe it at first, but as Tails stated his opinion on Eggman Nega's claim, a flash from Eggman Nega's camera blinded Sonic and when he regained his sight, Tails was gone.[50] Sonic asked Eggman Nega what he had done, and the doctor revealed that he had turned Tails into a card as well. At the same time, Knuckles appeared, believing Eggman Nega had stolen the Master Emerald. As Eggman Nega showed he had turned the Master Emerald it into a card as well, he escaped, and Sonic raced Knuckles to see who got to face Eggman Nega first.
Eventually, the two found Eggman Nega and teamed up to fend off the Egg Turtle, but Eggman Nega escaped. As Sonic followed him, however, he ran into Silver, who had come to bring Eggman Nega back to the future. As Silver insisted on getting to Eggman Nega first, Sonic gladly accepted the challenge and they raced after Eggman Nega. As Sonic reached Eggman Nega, he demanded the cards back, but Silver insisted on going first, and it broke down to a fight between them and Eggman Nega's Egg Falcon.
Despite defeating the Egg Falcon, Sonic and Silver continued to fight, until Silver teleported Sonic to another location. Surprised, Sonic looked around and found Shadow. Seeing that Shadow was after Eggman Nega too, Sonic challenged him to see who got to Eggman Nega first. Sonic eventually outraced Shadow and found Eggman Nega, and demanded to know his plan. Eggman Nega however, retaliated by unleashing Metal Sonic on Sonic. After defeating Metal Sonic, Sonic thought about Eggman Nega's plan, but ran into Silver again. Sonic then told Silver that he would share his information with Silver if he beat him in a race to Eggman Nega, and the pair chased the doctor again.
Sonic and Silver eventually cornered Eggman Nega and Sonic demanded Tails' card back, but Eggman Nega fought him and Silver with the Egg Lynx. After defeating the Egg Lynx, Sonic reclaimed Tails' card while Eggman Nega escaped. Sonic then freed Tails from his card, but then Knuckles reappeared and Sonic was challenged by him to race to Eggman Nega first.
Sonic eventually reached Eggman Nega first where he faced the Egg Kong and an upgraded Metal Sonic, but still won. Frustrated at his constant defeats, Eggman Nega told Sonic that he now planned to turn the world into a card and escaped, much to Sonic’s frustration. Tails, however, appeared in the Tornado and they traveled to Nega's base, the Meteor Base. As Sonic ventured to and through this fortification, he met Knuckles, Shadow and Silver, and they each put aside their differences to help stop Eggman Nega.
At the center of the base, Sonic and the others found a large spaceship with Eggman Nega's special camera equipped, known as the Egg Destroyer, that he planned to use to turn the world into a card. Sonic then noticed that Eggman Nega planned to fuel the device with Amy’s card and some other cards, but the four rivals destroyed the spaceship as it took off, thus foiling Eggman Nega's plan. After the battle, Sonic freed Amy from her card, who believed this meant that she and Sonic were to live happily together. Sonic, however, came up with the excuse that he had to find the other captives in Eggman Nega's cards and ran off.
Other game appearances[]
Sonic Spinball (8-bit)[]
In Sonic Spinball (8-bit), Sonic discovered that Dr. Eggman had established a super-efficient robot factory called the Veg-O-Fortress inside a island volcano, and that Eggman had already taken thousands of Animals there be transformed into robots.[51] Having Tails provide him with a lift to the Veg-O-Fortress in their plane. Sonic dropped into the depths of the Veg-O-Fortress from the sky. From there, Sonic infiltrated Eggman's vast and deadly Pinball Defense System. In no time at all, Sonic managed to swipe the Chaos Emeralds that kept the fortress stable and free the captive Animals. After then making it to the top of the fortress, Eggman tried to escape in spaceship, but Sonic managed to reach the doctor and defeat him, resulting in the spaceship's destruction. As Sonic and Eggman fell down from space, Eggman ended up falling into his Veg-O-Fortress, which resulted in the entire volcanic island sinking into the sea.
In the game, Sonic is the only playable character. In the levels, he acts like a pinball controlled by the player, although he still has free movement abilities and can perform the Spin Jump and Spin Dash.
Tails Adventure[]
In Tails Adventure, Sonic makes a cameo as an item the player can collect in Caron Forest. Equipping it allows Tails to use the Spin Dash.
Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure[]
In Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure, Sonic discovered that Dr. Eggman was up to his old tricks again by capturing Animals, and set out to foil him. While chasing his nemesis, he had several confrontations with the doctor, who managed to give the hedgehog the slip each time. Eventually though, Sonic came across Knuckles, who suddenly attacked him. Upon defeating the echidna and claiming his Chaos Emerald however, Eggman ambushed the duo. Taking the Emerald, the doctor left the heroes to get crushed by the collapsing cave they were in. With his last strength though, Knuckles sent Sonic out of the cave and into the sky with an uppercut.
Sonic and Tails hunting Dr. Eggman, from Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure.
Among the clouds, Sonic landed on the wings of the passing Tornado, flown by Tails. With the fox's aid, the hedgehog reached Eggman's air base and resumed his hunt for his nemesis. There, he had a rematch with Mecha Sonic, who went haywire upon its defeat and revealed an entrance into the Gigantic Angel, where Eggman was hiding. There, Sonic found his nemesis, only for the doctor to use a trap he had set for the hedgehog to drop him into the depths of his base. However, Sonic soon caught up to Eggman and surprised the doctor, who tried fighting back using another one of his creations. Despite the odds, the hero still defeated his nemesis and chased him to the Last Utopia. There, Eggman appeared before Sonic in a mech powered by the Chaos Emerald he stole from Knuckles. However, the hedgehog took back the Emerald and defeated the mech. Eggman then tried to escape into space. In response, Sonic, having gathered all the Chaos Emeralds at this point, transformed into Super Sonic and chased after his nemesis. In the depths of space, the hedgehog defeated the villaineous doctor when he tried using his last mech against him, and returned to earth where he reunited with Tails onboard the Tornado, just before the Chaos Emeralds scattered themselves. With peace restored to the world, Sonic headed out on new adventures with the fox.
Sonic Pinball Party[]
In Sonic Pinball Party, right after foiling Dr. Eggman's last plan for world domination, Sonic learned that the evil scientist was up to no good again. From Casinopolis, the doctor had been busy kidnapping Animals and turning them into Badniks. In addition, the doctor had also brainwashed Tails and Amy into serving him. To save his friends, Sonic enrolled himself in the Egg Cup Tournament hosted in Casinopolis.
During the first round, Sonic faced off against Knuckles (who had joined the tournament out of own free will) and won. After that, he faced Tails and Amy, whom he freed from Eggman's control after beating them during their respective rounds. Making it to the finals, Sonic squared off against Metal Sonic and won, only for Eggman to intrude on the tournament and challenge Sonic to an additional match. After defeating Eggman, Sonic rescued all the Animals.
Sonic Jump (2005)[]
In Sonic Jump, Sonic received a call from Tails, who warned him that Dr. Eggman had obtained a Chaos Emerald for an unknown purpose. As the signal began to fade out however, Tails told Sonic to meet him at his research facility. Intrigued, Sonic went to the facility, only to witness Tails get kidnapped by Eggman, who escaped with Tails in a helicopter. Pursuing Eggman to his flying fortress in the sky, Sonic came to Tails' rescue. However, as Eggman made his escape, he warned Sonic that he had obtained six of the Chaos Emeralds, and that there was only one left to find. Following Tails' hunches, Sonic headed to Angel Island, which was the location of the last Chaos Emerald.
Upon arriving on Angel Island, Sonic and Tails found Eggman demanding Knuckles to hand over the Chaos Emerald. Unfortunately, Eggman snatched the Emerald when Knuckles turned his attention to Sonic. Now possessing all the Chaos Emeralds, Eggman gloated to the heroes that he planned to harness the Emeralds' power to create the "Brainwash Beam", which would let him take over the world, before taking off. As Sonic began arguing with Knuckles over whose fault this was, Tails stopped them. Tails then suggested that Eggman needed to head into space in order for the Brainwash Beam to cover the whole world. As such, Sonic and his friends headed for South America, which was supposedly where Eggman had a space station to launch a rocket from. When they arrived however, Eggman had already prepared the rocket launch and was heading into space. Not willing to give up, Sonic asked for a way to catch up to Eggman and Tails replied that it was possible using the space station's controls. With them, Sonic launched himself into space, where he eventually caught up with Eggman and destroyed his space satellite containing the Brainwash Beam, scattering the Chaos Emeralds around the earth before falling back down to the planet himself.
Recovering from his fall, Sonic reunited with his friends. After Knuckles reminded him of the Chaos Emeralds however, Sonic went in search of them, but could not find the last one. Suspecting that Eggman had it, Sonic returned to space where he successfully defeated Eggman one last time and took back the Emerald. In the aftermath, Eggman disappeared, although not before swearing revenge at Sonic. Returning home, Sonic received praise from his friends, although Knuckles noted that Eggman would probably be back soon.
Sega Superstars[]
In Sega Superstars, Sonic is a playable character in the Sonic the Hedgehog mini-game.
Animation[]
Sonic the Animation[]
Sonic being booed by the public, from Sonic the Animation.
In Sonic the Animation, after having foiled Dr. Eggman's plans so many times, Sonic was given the "Hero of the Year" title, much to his adversary's annoyance. Wanting to ruin the hedgehog's image, the doctor began masquadering as him to ruin a city near his base, ruining his reputation in the span of a few minutes and being deemed the "Worst Person of the Year". In the aftermath, Sonic, unaware of the havok "he" had caused, became the target of the public's anger and began yelling at him, much to his confusion. He then noticed Eggman, still disguised as him, standing on a roof before losing balance and falling off.
