“Sonic The Hedgehog” is a popular video game that was first released in 1991 and sold over two million copies by the end of ‘91. The considerable publicity of the first “Sonic: The Hedgehog” game helped it evolve and continue releasing new versions. This also allowed Sega to make its latest “Sonic: The Hedgehog” game, “Sonic Frontiers,” released on November 8, 2022. In addition, Sega, the creator of Sonic, will make Sonic the Hedgehog into a movie with Ben Schwartz, who will play the lead role of “Sonic: The Hedgehog.”

“Sonic: The Hedgehog” is a super-speed character that moves quicker than sound speed. He uses his speed abilities to protect the world from the villain Dr. Eggman, an evil inventor who creates robots and weapons. Dr. Eggman uses emeralds to try to destroy Sonic, but in the end, Sonic always comes out on top. Sonic travels worldwide with his sidekick Tails on their plane, “The Tornado,” to assist those in need. Everywhere Sonic goes, he encounters new friends and clashes with new enemies. Graphics in the Sonic games are notable because it is in a third-person perspective, and the player feels like they are Sonic as they experience the world from his viewpoint.
