"What you see is what you get! Just a guy that loves adventure! I'm Sonic the Hedgehog!"
-Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic the Hedgehog was designed to be the replacement of Sega's old mascot, Alex the Kid. He is an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog, with his main ability being able to run at the speed of sound. He loves adventure and his friends, and hates bullying, opression, and being called a rat.
