Sonic

Sonic (ソニック ・ ザ ・ ヘッジホッグ Sonikku ・ za ・ Hejjihoggu in Japanese) is a character of Video game of platform created by SEGA, in particular by Yuji Naka and Naoto Oshima in 1990. Resulting from a brainstorming of search for mascot and in order to respect the concept of the Megadrive, it is a Hérisson blue (like SEGA) able to run very quickly. Sonic quickly became the official mascot of SEGA, because of its cool and charismatic look

Main character

Sonic is a blue hedgehog which has fun its super speed. In the Comic S Fleetway, it is also presented like exaggeratedly arrogant. In all the confused series, Sonic is honest and courageous: it is ready to be risked in order to come to assistance of the innocent ones. That supposes that he hates the unjust situations, and thus he fights for justice. Nevertheless, it does not feel invests of a " mission" unspecified, and not does that by having, but by principle

Sonic was conceived following the irritation of Sega in front of success without division of Super Mario. Contrary at Nintendo which had a character charismatic and serving as real mascot, Sega did not have any strong license ready to compete with the plumber man with a moustache. After several characters missed (of which one which deviendrat Dr.Eggman, enemies notorious of Sonic,) the Sonic project was then launched with an aim of creating an attaching character and really impossible to circumvent Sega galaxy. Sonic was conceived in optics to be cool , in opposition to the good-naturedness of Mario. In the Japanese versions, it often uses, him and his companions, for this purpose of the American expressions ( Let' S get 'EM! , Part off cake! , inter alia).

History

One learns little from things on the history of Sonic in the video games: it is known only that it was born on Christmas Island and that it spent some time on Angel Island (in Sonic 3 in particular). For the creators of Sonic, it was born blue and fast, no information on its origins was indicated in the plays and official series (i.e. Japanese) what makes Sonic much more mysterious than its rivals: Knuckles (which thereafter will become friendly with Sonic) and Shadow.

Here the not-official explanation:

The color and the speed of Sonic were explained for the first time in a comic promotional in Disney Adventures , then described more in detail in the novel Stay Sonic and considered as the not-official explanation in the remainder of the publications of the the United Kingdom. Sonic was at the beginning a traditional brown hedgehog, until the moment when he discovered by chance the laboratory of Doctor Ovi Kintobor, a scientist wishing to make planet a paradise thanks to a named machine Retro-Orbital Chaos Compressor , but needing for that for gray Emerald for Chaos. Sonic proposed to help it. Having noticed that Sonic liked to run, the doctor helped it to develop his speed, leading it even to break the wall of the sound, which caused an explosion which transformed Sonic into blue hedgehog super-rapid. Sonic does not succeed in finding seventh emerald. But one day, Kintobor wanted to try to use its machine despite everything. It left initially towards the refrigerator, which contained nothing any more but one rotted egg. Holding abstractedly in its hand, he stumbled on a cable and caused an explosion. When it came out from it, he was Doctor Ivo " Eggman " Robotnik.

Techniques

Sonic has a range of special movements unceasingly renewed and improved with the wire of the plays. Simple Spin Attack swell about it, it develops the Spin Dash which makes it possible to take dash, various manners of using its jump, to roll, to use shields of energies and elements of the decorations. In Sonic Adventure , it uses the Spin Dash Eclair which enables him automatically to follow a file of rings at speed of light. The Homing Attack is an attack swell about it after a jump not far from enemies in front of sonic. The technique Light Attack resembles the preceding one, but makes it possible to attack enemies in height. In Sonic Adventure 2 , it uses the Chaos Control (allowing him téléporter), the Sonic Wind (attacks remotely) and the Time Stop (But only in the multi-players modes, which can leave think that it does not control really this range of techniques). In Sonic Heroes , it is helped of Tails and Knuckles to use the Rocket Accel , increasing its speed. Sonic Rush also proposes a novel method to us: the Rush , during which Sonic is invincible and sinks.

When it recovered all emeralds, Sonic can be transformed into Super Sonic, an invincible gilded hedgehog (it needs rings to preserve its transformation). Super Sonic can launch flashes of energy on its enemies and reached an impressive speed. In only one play, Sonic 3 & Knuckles , Sonic can be transformed into “Hyper Sonic”, a version even more powerful. In the animated series Sonic X , its anger makes it be transformed into Dark Sonic when his/her friends Chris and Cosmo are made prisoners by King Noir of Metarex.

Emeralds of Chaos

As of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), the Emeralds of Chaos (Emeralds Chaos) appeared in the world of Sonic, but one will know their history only starting from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles. Knuckles keeps the Emerald Mother which is larger and has enormous capacities, of which that to control the capacities of emeralds of Chaos and to protect the island by maintaining it in the skies. In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, the Emeralds of Chaos, once in Hidden De luxe hotel, are transformed into pure energy (provided that the Emerald Mother is in the part also). Then energy leaves in the seven cavities around the green jewel, and seven new joyeaux surrounds the Emerald Mother: they are the Super Emeralds of Chaos. These emeralds make it possible to change (Super Sonic, Hyper Sonic, Super Tails, Super Knuckles, Hyper Knuckles). The Emeralds of Chaos make it possible to help Dr. Robotnik (sonic adventure) as with chaos, which in contact with these emeralds becomes more powerful: once its maximum power reached, it is able to destroy the world. The emeralds have 2 capacities, the positive one and the negative one, to use the positive capacity, it is necessary to enrich emeralds by the heart. They are all the time used in the video games: for the super forms, to supply the gun Eclipses (SA2), by metal sonic (Sonic Heroes), by Black Doom, Jet (to make leave Babylon Garden the desert; Sonic Riders), by Elects for ressusciter Sonic (next-gen). In comics archie, emeralds of chaos transform sonic into a super sonic surpuissant but which makes the evil instead of the good…
