The 25 Years of Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the hedgehog is a 15-year-old, anthropomorphic, 3'3, blue hedgehog that can run faster than the speed of sound. His legacy was to run, go on adventures, and save the world. He may be cool, heroic, and fearless, but he is also cocky, impatient, and has an attitude.

Sonic the hedgehog was born on Christmas Island on June 23rd, 1991. At that time, he was just a regular, anthropomorphic, brown hedgehog. He then met a scientist in an underground lab named Dr. Ovi Kintobor. They then became friends, and Kintobor asked him to help him collect the chaos emeralds. He needed them to create a machine that would get rid of all evil on Möbius called the Retro-Orbital Chaos Compressor. (R.O.C.C.)

Kintobor was impressed by Sonic's speeds, and he wanted him to try out a machine called the Kinetic Gyratoscope, a machine that would make Sonic run faster. To make him run even faster, Kintobor invented the friction-less power sneakers. Sonic was then able to run faster than the speed of sound. The resultant sonic boom then crashed the Gyratoscope and Sonic was transformed from brown to blue.

A day later, Sonic was hanging out in the lab and Kintobor went to fix them some food. Finding only a six-month-old rotten egg in the fridge. He went to find some salt only to trip on a cable and slam his hand against the R.O.C.C's control panel. The R.O.C.C which exploded, bathing Kintobor and the egg in chaos energy, transforming the kindly scientist into the megalomaniacal Ivo Robotnik.

And that was how it all began.
