History: Sonic's first appearance in the video game world was in the platform game Sonic the Hedgehog (sometimes referred to simply as Sonic 1) for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, which also introduced his nemesis Dr. Ivo Robotnik (named Dr. Eggman in Japan, and, since Sonic Adventure, also in the West). His two-tailed fox friend Miles "Tails" Prower joined him in the game's 1992 sequel Sonic 2. Sonic CD, released in 1993, introduced Sonic's self-proclaimed girlfriend Amy Rose and his robotic doppelgänger Metal Sonic (not to be confused with Mecha Sonic an alternate model made later by Dr. Robotnik) as Sonic traveled through time to ensure a good future for the world. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and its direct sequel Sonic & Knuckles, both released in 1994, saw Sonic and Tails battle Dr. Robotnik again, with the additional threat of Knuckles the Echidna, tricked by Robotnik into thinking Sonic was a threat to his home.
Other two-dimensional platformers starring Sonic include Sonic Chaos (1993), Sonic Triple Trouble (1994), Sonic Blast (1996), and Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure (1999). Sonic Advance in (2001), Sonic Advance 2 (2002), Sonic Advance 3 (2004), Sonic Rush (2005) and Sonic Rush Adventure (2007).
Sonic Adventure (1998/1999) was Sonic Team's return to the character for a major game. It featured Sonic returning from vacation to find the city of Station Square under attack by a new, very powerful foe named Chaos, under the control of Dr. Robotnik. This was also the first Sonic game to have a complete voice-over. Sonic Adventure 2 (2001) placed Sonic on-the-run from the military (G.U.N) after being mistaken for a new enemy, Shadow the Hedgehog, the Ultimate Life Form. Sonic Heroes (2004) has Sonic teaming up with Tails and Knuckles (along with other characters) against the newly rebuilt Metal Sonic, who had betrayed his master. Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) features Sonic in the city of water, "Soleanna", where he must rescue Princess Elise from Dr. Robotnik while trying to avoid a new threat to his own life, Silver the Hedgehog. Sonic and the Secret Rings (2007) features Sonic in a story book world of the "Arabian Nights" where he must help a ring genie named Sharah, regain the seven World Rings in order to defeat the evil genie, Erazor Djinn.
Sonic has also been featured in games of many genres other than 2D and 3D platform games. The first of these was a pinball game, Sonic Spinball (1993), which expanded upon the pinball sequences in the first three platform games. Sonic has also appeared in the "2.5D" isometric platformers Sonic Labyrinth (1995) and Sonic 3D Blast (1996), the racing games Sonic Drift (1994), Sonic Drift 2 (1995), Sonic R (1997), Sonic Riders (2006), Sonic Rivals (2006), Sonic Rivals 2 (2007) and Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity (2008), the fighting games Sonic the Fighters (1996), Sonic Battle (2003), the mobile game Sonic Jump (2005) and has made an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008). Sonic will be appearing in his first console role-playing game Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (2008). He is also the main protagonist and presumably the only playable character in the upcoming game Sonic Unleashed (2008). In that game, he unwillinging gains a new persona, "Sonic the Werehog." A Nintendo Power cover scan was released spoiling a new Sonic game titled Sonic and the Black Knight. Soon after, Sega confirmed that it was, in fact, real, and was going to be the second title in the Sonic Storybook spinoff series, making Sonic and the Secret Rings the first.

Characteristics:
Super Sonic's character design from Sonic Adventure onward.According to various official materials from Sega, Sonic is described as a character who is "like the wind":[21] a drifter who lives as he wants,[22] and makes life a series of events and adventures.[1] Sonic hates oppression and staunchly defends freedom.[23] Although he is mostly easy-going[22] he has a short temper[22] and is often impatient with slower things.[21] Sonic is a habitual daredevil who is honest, loyal to friends, keeps his promises,[1] and dislikes tears.[24] He took the young Tails under his wing like a little brother,[25] but is uninterested in the marital proposals from Amy Rose.[26] In times of crisis, he focuses intensely on the challenge[21] as if his personality had undergone an astonishing change.[1]
Sonic is known as the world's fastest hedgehog.[23] Sonic's greatest strength is his running speed, which is faster than the speed of sound.[24] Many of his abilities are variations on the tendency for hedgehogs to roll into tight balls for protection with the addition of spinning his body. Since his introduction in 1991's Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic's primary offensive maneuver is the basic "Spin Attack" (or "Sonic Spin Attack").[27] Later games in the series expanded on this basic attack and two of these enhancements have become mainstays of his: the Spin Dash which was introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and involves Sonic spinning on the spot before blasting off at full speed,[28] and the Homing Attack, officially introduced in Sonic Adventure, in which Sonic dashes in midair toward a target.[23] However, Sonic's weakness is that he can't swim.[24]
When seven Chaos Emeralds are collected in most Sonic games, Sonic can initiate a super transformation into Super Sonic, a faster and invulnerable version of himself that can fly.[29] In the 2D games, he enters Super Sonic mode after collecting an additional 50 Rings; in the 3D games where Super Sonic is playable, he starts off in the form with additional 50 Rings. While transformed, Sonic slowly loses Rings during the time he is in the form and returns to normal when all Rings are used up; the player can collect more Rings during this time to keep him as Super Sonic.
Personallity:
He's cocky and has a bit of an attitude but he loves adventure. Capable of running at super sonic speed's, he uses this ability to thwart the evil Dr. Eggman( Dr. Robotnik) and his evil plans of world domination. Determined and unstoppable when it come's to protecting his friends.
