Background

Classic Sonic is the main protagonist of the eponymous series of video games developed by SEGA, in the Classic Era of Sonic the Hedgehog while dually being SEGA's mascot. He is an anthropomorphic hedgehog, utilizing super speed to save his friends and other creatures from the evil mastermind, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, presently established under the alias, Dr. Eggman. Due to his hedgehog heritage, Sonic can curl up into a spiked-ball, charge up for enhanced momentum, then lunge forward to perform his iconic Spin Dash.

Key: Base | Super Sonic & Hyper Sonic

Note 1: While Sonic isn't shown to use every extension of the Chaos Emeralds' powers regularly, he does use Chaos Control in combat.

Note 2: Hyper Sonic is considered canon and usable given Sonic Mania makes a reference to the Super Emeralds, meaning they should be counted in the canon despite Takashi Iizuka stating they weren't previously.
