Summary

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 lunges forward to perform his iconic Spin Dash.

Key: Base | Super Sonic | Hyper Sonic

Note 1: Classic Sonic can use all of the wisps because he has access to them in Sonic Runners due to him appearing as a playable character.

Note 2: Super Classic Sonic isn't scaled to Time Eater because the feat is regarded as an outlier and it is inconsistent with showings of Chaos Emeralds in the main Classic Era. Sonic's usage of the Chaos Emeralds has canonically bettered with each game as well, meaning it makes sense his earlier timeline incarnation would not as efficiently utilize the energy and abilities of later incarnations of Adventure and Modern.

Note 3: 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. However, this should not be applied beyond Classic Sonic as Hyper Sonic has not been utilized in the Adventure or Modern Era, meaning adding them would be redundant unless the transformation was utilized in the future.
