When chasing after [[Doctor Eggman (Sonic Boom)|Dr. Eggman]], Sonic was ambushed by Eggman's [[Burnbot]]. In the following battle, [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Sonic Boom)|Tails]] came to Sonic aid in the [[Tornado (Sonic Boom)|Tornado]], but Burnbot made Tails crash by tearing off a wing. Once Sonic took care of Burnbot, he found Tails alive, but injured. Sonic promised not to let Tails get hurt again and as such fired him as his sidekick once he recovered. Sonic then held try-outs to find a new sidekick, but to his surprise, both Tails and Eggman applied for the job, who he had to accept as candidates (along with [[Fastidious Beaver]]) since everyone were welcomed. Sonic set up a race to test them, but saw Eggman making Tails crash into a frozen lake with Burnbot during the race, and came to his aid. There, Burnbot made Sonic fall into the lake, but Tails saved him, and together they beat Burnbot and got away. Afterwards, the two reconciled and Sonic rehired Tails.<ref name="SBE1" />

Super-fast with a passion for adventure.

Sonic Boom Official Website[1]

Template:Character Sonic the Hedgehog is the main protagonist of the Sonic Boom series. He is an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog gifted with super speed who fights Dr. Eggman and other forces of evil alongside Team Sonic as their leader.

Concept and Creation

During the development for Sonic's redesign, the developers went through a long process where they experimented with different accessories before they decided to stick with the "Scarf Sonic" design.[2][3] They settle with giving Sonic a neckerchief because it played homage to the classic adventure theme and was an action adventure trope which fit with Sonic's game character role and emphasized his "get-up and get-go" attitude and his love for adventure.[3][4] According to Bob Rafei, Sonic's scarf is partially based on Nathan Drake's scarf from Uncharted.[5]

The sports tape Sonic wears is inspired by fighters and American football players and is meant to give him a sense of practical heroism by showing that that he is not vain, which is a trait more fitting for villains, when saving the world and to give him a more grounded approach.[3] He specially got sports tape around his feet to emphasize that his specialty was speed.[6] He also received blue arms and additional spikes to truly differentiate him from his main series counterpart.[6]

Appearance

Sonic retains most of the appearance from his main series counterpart, but has a few physical and clothing differences. He is much slimmer and taller, with longer arms and legs, which gives him a lanky appearance. His quills are also slightly messier, having some cowlick-like spikes that sticks out from his top and lower quills, and his arms are covered completely in blue fur, as opposed to being skin-colored.

For attire, Sonic wears a pair of white gloves with cuffs and a pair of red sneakers, which has white cuffs, grey soles, and a large, rectangular gold buckle on the top. Both of his gloves and sneakers have white sports tape around them, which is wrapped around his palms, the lower half of his arms and legs, and the heels of his sneakers. Finally, he sports a short brown neckerchief around his neck.

History

Games

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric

Sonic Boom Team Shot

Sonic with his friends in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.

In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, Sonic was having a regular day of foiling another of Dr. Eggman's evil plans with Tails, Knuckles and Amy. Before he knew it however, Sonic and his friends arrived on an island where they encounter an ancient tomb sealed deep within the island. There, Sonic makes a little mistake and releases a powerful villain from the Ancients, named Lyric, who plans to power his army of war mongering robots with the Chaos Crystals to destroy everything organic and create a world of twisted metal and robots. To stop Lyric, Sonic is forced put aside his solo-hero act, work together with his friends and find the Chaos Crystals before Lyric.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal

In Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Sonic and his team saved Sticks as she was caught in a rockslide in a ravine. In the free, Sticks told them that an underground army would destroy them all, but Sonic was skeptical about it. Later, Sonic contacted Amy as she was investigating an ancient language and manuscript detailing the history and whereabouts of a Lost Crystal of Power when he saw her being kidnapped over video-link by Lyric, who wanted the crystal's power for himself. To trace Amy’s footsteps and save her from Lyric and his robot army, Sonic teamed up with Tails, Knuckles and Sticks.

TV Series

When chasing after Dr. Eggman, Sonic was ambushed by Eggman's Burnbot. In the following battle, Tails came to Sonic aid in the Tornado, but Burnbot made Tails crash by tearing off a wing. Once Sonic took care of Burnbot, he found Tails alive, but injured. Sonic promised not to let Tails get hurt again and as such fired him as his sidekick once he recovered. Sonic then held try-outs to find a new sidekick, but to his surprise, both Tails and Eggman applied for the job, who he had to accept as candidates (along with Fastidious Beaver) since everyone were welcomed. Sonic set up a race to test them, but saw Eggman making Tails crash into a frozen lake with Burnbot during the race, and came to his aid. There, Burnbot made Sonic fall into the lake, but Tails saved him, and together they beat Burnbot and got away. Afterwards, the two reconciled and Sonic rehired Tails.[7]

While sleeping at Tails, Sonic met Dr. Eggman, Orbot and Cubot, whom he begrudgingly allowed to stay while their lair underwent repairs. However, Eggman annoyed Sonic and Tails with obnoxious behavior and they were ready to kick him out until Amy made them give him another chance. Eggman then kept them awake all night with activities, but the next morning, Eggman revealed that he lied about his lair so he could exhaust them, and summoned Obliteratorbot to destroy them. However, Obliteratorbot misheard Eggman's orders and attacked his lair. Convinced by Eggman to stop it, Sonic's teammates stalled Obliteratorbot while Sonic, Tails and Eggman reached the robot's kill switches in the lair despite their downiness, though they were too late to save the lair, which Sonic made Eggman stay at.[8]

As Sonic, Amy, Knuckles and Sticks chilled on the beach, Tails showed them his universal translator UT. However, UT created tension between Sonic and the others by translating their private thoughts from the subtext of their speech. The next day, though, UT started "translating" their comments into insults. However, as they began fighting, Tails discovered this UT was a fake send by Eggman to tear them apart. While Tails went to save the real UT, Sonic and the other stayed, not thinking UT was worth it. Later, UT returned to them where it gave a message from Tails and translated it into a call to rescue him from Eggman. At the lair, Sonic and the team freed Tails and beat Eggman's guard robot, and Sonic promised more adventures with UT until Sticks threw it into the sea.[9]

When Sonic saved the village from Eggman's Anti-fire Bot, he and his team noticed Sticks' ill treatment of animals and decided to get her a pet to teach her compassion. Sonic was sent to accompany Sticks on her shopping, but she chose a disgusting robo-dog she named "Buster". For the next week, Buster was an annoyance to Sonic and the others which culminated in Buster keeping them from stopping Orbot and Cubot from robbing a warehouse. As they tried making Sticks give up Buster, Eggman came with a gift and revealed he created Buster. The gift transformed Buster into a larger robot who caught Sonic and the team, but Sticks assumed control over Buster, who released Sonic and the others and got rid of Eggman. The team then said goodbye to Buster when Sticks released him due to his dangerous nature.[10]

While Team Sonic was in the village as it was bombarded by meteors, Sticks saved them with her own defense system. Later, Sonic and the others heard from Sticks that she had been nominated for an Awardy Award, but refused to go to its associated gala because she would embarrass herself. Begrudgingly, Sonic was made Sticks' escort and assisted her in her lady lessons. At the gala, Sonic learned Eggman was a nominee as well (by cheating). When Eggman did not get the award when it was handed out, he attacked everyone in vengeance. Sonic and his team tried to fight his robots, but were incapacitated. Thanks to Sticks though, Sonic was freed and he beat Eggman's Stufferbot, making Eggman retreat and allowing the gala to continue.[11]

When preparing Amy's decorative lunch, Sonic made Amy feel unappreciated by slacking off on the preparations. When Eggman showed up to hire Amy to redecorate his lair for Modern Lair Magazine Amy accepted it, much to Sonic's surprise. Sonic soon realized they did not treat Amy right and went to Eggman's lair with his team to check on her, but hear from Eggman that Amy chose to stay with him. Not buying it, Team Sonic broke into the lair and found Amy imprisoned. Sonic made amends with Amy and together, the team trashed Eggman's lair and his robots on their way out, which cost Eggman's place in Modern Lair Magazine. To cheer Amy up, Sonic offered her to redecorate his shack.[12]

During a trip to Meh Burgers with Amy to have lunch, Sonic's meal was postponed due to Eggman and the cashier, Dave. Later, as Sonic and Tails tested Tails' Reverse-polarizer, Orbot showed up and asked them to repair Cubot. Shortly after, the duo went to Eggman's lair after picking up a signal from two doomsday devices. There, they discovered that Eggman and his intern Dave were competing for whom could destroy the world better with their doomsday devices, so Sonic and Tails manipulated them into calibrating their devices into canceling each other out when activated. When they ended up creating a black hole instead, Sonic followed Tails' plan and used the Reverse-polarizer inside the black hole to destroyed it, thus saving existence.[13]

While home, Sonic found a batch of cookies, but before eating one, he went to help Tails stop his wild vacuum-robot when he received his message. When Sonic returned with Tails, only one cookie was left which he gave to Tails upon his request. Later, Sonic met Orbot who informed him that his team had been turned into clones of Eggman from eating the cookies (which were made by Eggman). Sonic went to Eggman's lair to rescue them, but was unable to fight back when Eggman had his friends attack him. However, his friends quickly began to fighting over the honor of capturing him, so Sonic made a cookie with his DNA which he gave Eggman, turning him into his ally. With Eggman help, Sonic made some new cookies that he used to turn his friends back to normal. The good Eggman thought they would now work together, but Team Sonic did not like the idea and restored the doctor too.[14]

During a race, Sonic and Tails found Gogoba Village, which they saved from the Weasel Bandits as they plundered it, and the Gogobas made them stay for a victory feast, though at their own expense. Feeling terrible, Sonic and Tails tried to leave several times, but the Chief and villagers kept guilt tripping them to stay until they made them remain as their protectors. When Sonic and Tails failed to get away by giving the Gogobas a security system, Sonic had the idea of guilt tripping the Chief into letting them go and it worked. Back home however, Sonic saw that the Gogobas had moved into his shack so he could keep protecting them. Soon after, they were attacked by Eggman and his robots, though after destroying the robots, Sonic and Tails convinced Eggman that the Gogobas would be a great asset to him. Having also guilt tripped the Chief into joining Eggman, Sonic finally got the Gogobas as they departed with Eggman.[15]

Expectantly, Sonic and Knuckles were attacked by Eggman and his robots, but they defeated them. The next day, they met Orbot and Cubot who were looking for Eggman. After Knuckles told his version of their encounter, Sonic told the duo where Eggman went.[16]

Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic Boom) Archie Comics

Sonic in the Archie Comics.

On a bright day on the beach, Sonic was having a fight with Dr. Eggman in his Big Boy where he confidently taunted the doctor as they fought. Shortly after, Tails came to Sonic's aid and the two combated Eggman as Knuckles and Amy arrived and joined the fight. Once Amy had laid out a plan of attack, Sonic and his team attacked the Big Boy at critical points and brought it down, forcing Eggman to retreat.[17]

No sooner, Sticks arrived at the beach in panic, who told them Tails' house had been robbed. Sticks took Sonic and the gang to Tails' house, and they discovered that the whole house was gone: what Sticks meant was that Tails' house had been stolen, and she explains that a "cyborg rock golem" rose up from the ground and left with Tails' house on its head. Suspecting it was one of Eggman's creations, Sonic thought of a vague plan to get Tails' house back (while dealing with Knuckles' difficulty with understanding the situation) when Sticks seemingly caught the scent of the robot and they followed her. Though it turned out Sticks was only smelling the grass, the group still found the Rock-cyborg by following its footprints and Sonic got his friends to set up an ambush while he lead the robot to them. With the Rock-cyborg hating his guts, Sonic was able to draw it into the ambush where the others made it fall over, allowing Sonic to destroy it and make Tails' house fall on its original foundation. Sonic then celebrated their victory though he told Tails that he did not have this in mind when he wanted to "crash at [his] place".[17]

Not long after, Eggman returned in the Big Boy and Sonic, Tails, Amy and Sticks engaged the doctor. While Sonic was quick to recognize the poorly patched-up mech, he was knocked away and trapped in a small cage by Knuckles who claimed he was now working with Eggman because he had had it with Amy criticizing him. Sonic's other team-mates were soon captured as well and they were taken into the Big Boy's cargo hold. While Sonic went stir crazy, Knuckles revealed he was pretending to work for Eggman to fool him before going after the doctor to free them (after Amy and Tails convinced him that his plan was brilliant despite its flaws). Sonic was soon after freed by Sticks and in a rush over his regained freedom, he broke the team of the Big Boy as Knuckles made Eggman retreat. After they had dealt with the stray Orbot and Cubot however, Sonic found Amy in a panic over having lost her piko hammer.[18] Back at Tails' house, Sonic tried to cheer up Amy in her depression by suggesting she got a new hammer, only to face the blunt of Amy's fury over how her hammer was irreplaceable. Shaken, Sonic attempted to deduce where it could be, but he, Tails and Knuckles ended up worsening Amy's hysteria instead, so Sticks sent them out to find the piko hammer. After looking everywhere on the island without luck, Sonic was returning to Amy with Tails when the piko hammer suddenly fell into his hand. Sonic received Amy's heartfelt thanks for finding it and he returned home for the night after remarking how he saved the day.[19]

Personality

Sonic is noted for having a passion for adventure and is very much a thrill-seeker, always looking for the next thrill, challenge, and triumph.[1][20] For Sonic, speed is a way of life; he runs fast, thinks fast and even eats fast.[20] He is in fact so addicted to speed that he cannot handle staying still for too long, which can cause him to go extremely stir crazy.[18] He acts on instinct and lives in the moment, though he is impatient, impulsive and tends to run headlong into trouble without a plan.[20][21] When being honest, he tends to be rather blunt.

Sonic is known for having a large ego that is his typical driving force, and is as well laid-back, cool and quick-witted. He is likewise cocky, playful, cheeky and possesses a snarky tongue, and is prone to joke around even in dire situations. Regardless, he is very courageous,[22] benevolent and heroic, and when the situation calls for it or his friends are in trouble, Sonic can be serious and will immediately rush to their aid. Sonic also does not back down or give up, because he has an unwavering belief and faith in himself and his abilities.[20]

Sonic is noted to be strongly loyal towards his friends and will do anything for them,[21] though initially on, he was somewhat of a loner and cynical. While he was willing to work together with his friends in times of need, he would show more interest in facing danger and foes on his own and would even take credit for what they did collectively. Through their battles against Lyric though, Sonic realized how much stronger he was with a team to back him up, which culminated in the final battle with Lyric where Sonic proclaimed that his friends were his strength. Since then, Sonic has become a much more admirable team-mate and leader, being quick to acknowledge his team-mates contributions and ask for their help.

Powers and Abilities

Sonic's most notable skill is his ability to move at super speed, allowing him to run at speeds greater than Mach 1. Though his exact top speed is unknown, he is renowned as the world's fastest hedgehog[21] and he can effortlessly move at enough speeds to create a sonic boom.[7] In line with his speed, Sonic has significant acrobatic skills and agility, sufficient enough to perform perfect synchronized mid-air movements. He also has extremely quick reflexes, being able to react instantly to dangers, and has enhanced jumping skills, allowing him to jump very high into the air.

Sonic possesses significant physical strength, though far from the same level as Knuckles', which is mostly demonstrated with his legs. He can kick a robot hard enough to knock it through a rock wall and he can punch the ground with enough force to cause cracks and release a minor shockwave, though it is debatable whether the latter's power comes from his super speed, his strength, or a combination of both.

File:SONIC BOOM HOMING ATTACK.png

Sonic curling to attack Burnbot.

Sonic is able to curl up and spin into a spiky ball which is a variation on the tendency for hedgehogs to roll into tight balls for protection. While in this stance, Sonic can damage, destroy and mow down obstacles or foes when in motion. He is also a skilled combatant and his fighting style relies on his footwork styles along with fast-strike tactics and quick maneuvers.

Weaknesses

Like his main series counterpart, Sonic cannot swim and sinks in water.[7]

Relationships

Doctor Eggman

Dr. Eggman is Sonic's arch nemesis,[23] though their relationship is rather complex. On one hand, Sonic has a strong dislike of the doctor and fights him on a daily basis to keeping him from taking over the world, though he does not really take account of him and teases him with jokes and sarcasm. On the other hand, when not fighting each other, Sonic and Eggman act rather passive, allowing each other to be nearby without them going at each other's throats, though Sonic retains his dislike of the doctor. When Eggman claimed to be homeless, Sonic even allowed him to stay at Tails' home, though it was more on the grounds of proving himself the better person.[8] Also, when dealing with a common threat, they are willing to put aside their differences and work together to stop it.

Miles "Tails" Prower

File:BFF Sonic Boom.png

A picture of Sonic and Tails hanging out.

Sonic's best friend is Miles "Tails" Prower. He shares a brotherly relationship with Tails and they are equal partners in Sonic's adventures.[24][4] They are extremely close and both are willing to sacrifice their life for the other.[7]

Though he might put Tails in danger with his half-baked plans, Sonic cares very much for Tails' well-being. When he thought that Tails had been killed after their battle with Burnbot, Sonic decided to fire him as his sidekick so that he would not get hurt. Once Tails proved himself though, Sonic regained his faith in him and rehired him on the spot.[7]

Amy Rose

Amy Rose is another one of Sonic's close friends and team-mates. In this adaptation, Sonic is oblivious to Amy's love for him and is comfortable being around her as shown when they searched for one of the Chaos Crystals in the Ocean Purification Plant without Sonic struggling. He is also impressed at Amy's fighting skills, and is concerned for her when she is kidnapped by Lyric. According to UT, Sonic also cares about her well-being.[9]

Knuckles the Echidna

Knuckles the Echidna is another of Sonic's close friends and team-mates, though the two of them are always disagreeing. They both have a friendly rivalry going on and tend to compete with each other.[24] While Sonic likes to tease Knuckles and does not think he is the sharpest tool in the shed,[9] they share a mutual bond of respect and actually want to be buddies deep down, but both of them are too stubborn to admit it. When relaxed though, the two of them can be quite friendly towards each other and even goof off together.[11]
