Background

Sonic the Hedgehog is the main protagonist in the 2020 eponymous CGI/live-action film developed by Paramount Films. He lived with his adoptive mother, Longclaw, in Green Hill Zone until an Echidna tribe had discovered his power, forcing him to go to Earth and leave her behind as she defended him. He hides out on Earth for ten years until the moment he realizes his loneliness and accidentally triggers a power outage across the Pacific Northwest. He teams up with small-town sheriff, Tom Wachowski, in order to get his rings back to travel away from Earth and prevent Robotnik from gaining his power.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Sonic’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Past Sonic was born with his extraordinary powers on a distant planet. During his early childhood on his home planet, he would live on an island where he was looked after by his caretaker, Longclaw. As a child, Sonic spent most of his time running around the island despite Longclaw warning him not to reveal his powers.

One day, when Sonic returned to Longclaw from a run across the island to give her a flower, they were attacked by a tribe of echidnas seeking Sonic's power. As Longclaw escaped with Sonic however, she got hit by an arrow, thus keeping her from flying. As such, she resorted to her Rings. Using one, she opened a portal to Earth for Sonic to escape through. Despite Sonic's reluctance to go without Longclaw, he received her bag of Rings nonetheless and was instructed to stay in hiding on Earth no matter what. After Sonic went through the portal however, she saw Longclaw bidding him farewell before making a stand against the echidna tribe to keep them from crossing the portal. Sonic tried to come back for her, but the Ring closed right before him before he could get through.

Over the next ten years, Sonic remained on Earth, hiding in a cave in the woods on the outskirts of Green Hills, Montana, where he edged out the best life he could. During his time on Earth, he learned about human pop culture and the local people. In his cave, he also amassed a collection of various finds. He also made several trips to Green Hills, where he took notice of Tom Wachowski and his wife, Maddie, whom he often spied on, and nicknamed them "Donut Lord" and "Pretzel Lady" respectively due to Tom's habit of talking to donuts and Maddie's yoga hobby. Along the way, the local looney, Crazy Carl, caught onto Sonic and tried to catch him, but Sonic always eluded his traps while playing around with him. Despite trying to convince himself that he was a part of Green Hills though however, Sonic never made contact with the locals, causing him to suffer from loneliness. In addition, much to his chagrin, Sonic was obligated to follow Longclaw's late instructions to escape to the Mushroom Planet in case he was ever discovered on Earth.

Sonic the Hedgehog One day, Sonic watched a local baseball game and began to long for real friends. The same night, when the baseball field was empty, he started playing by himself. However, upon coming to the hard truth that he really was all alone, he became upset and began running faster and faster around the baseball field, his sadness turning into anger and fueling his powers until he released a powerful electromagnetic pulse that cut off power across the Pacific Northwest. Concerned that he had made his presence known, Sonic fled.

Not long after, Sonic found the United States Army and Badniks out in the woods looking for him. Returning to his cave, Sonic gathered his most prized possessions, including Longclaw's bag of Rings, intending to escape to the Mushroom Planet. However, with intruders at his doorstep and afraid that he would be discovered if he tried to leave now, Sonic went to Tom Wachowski's garage to use a Ring there in peace. However, Tom, upon hearing Sonic break a flowerpot, intruded on him just as he was about to use a Ring. The two quickly got scared of each other, prompting Tom to fire a tranquilizer dart into Sonic's leg. Before Sonic passed out however, he saw the words "San Francisco" on Tom's T-shirt and accidentally opened a portal there with a Ring that he dropped, with Sonic dropping his bag containing the rest of his Rings into the portal, where they landed on top of the Transamerica Pyramid, and the portal closing before Sonic could get through. An unconscious Sonic was then caged by Tom in his house. When Sonic woke up from the sedative however, he escaped the cage and met Tom face to face for the first time. However, their conversation was interrupted when a United States truck arrived at Tom's house. Sonic would then persuade Tom to help hide him since his legs had still not recovered from the dart. Tom proceeded to hide Sonic in his attic. However, two spy drones showed up shortly afterward. Sonic tried to hide from them by pretending to be a ball, but ultimately could not keep his cool and tried to escape them, rolling down from the attic and into the kitchen. From his new hiding spot, Sonic saw the newly arrived Dr. Robotnik threaten to shoot Tom with his Badnik after figuring out Sonic's presence from one of his quills that Tom had found. Before Robotnik could shoot Tom though, Sonic came out of hiding, asking him not to hurt him, which scared the mad doctor. Tom then cold-cocked Robotnik while he was shocked by Sonic's appearance, causing the Badnik to start shooting all around. Fortunately, Sonic and Tom managed to destroy the drone, and they quickly escaped in Tom's pickup truck.

While on the road away from Green Hills, Sonic explains to Tom who he was and that he needed to retrieve his Rings to escape to the Mushroom Planet. Not wanting to sow any more trouble for himself, Tom tried at first to ditch Sonic and make him run to San Francisco himself. Sonic, however, did not know where San Francisco was and returned to Tom after he ran into the Pacific Ocean. After that, Sonic convinced Tom to take him to San Francisco after blaming him for the trouble he was in, and the two set off on what Sonic called a "road trip."

As evening came around, they pulled in at a rest stop so Tom could make a phone call and get them something to eat. Although Sonic was supposed to stay in the truck, he quickly noticed the nearby Piston Pit bar. Unable to resist the temptation to visit it, he disguised himself and went to the bar. Tom found him shortly after, but Sonic persuaded him to let them stay at the Piston Pit for now. Meanwhile, Tom managed to convince the waitress that Sonic was not an alien. As Tom then brought up the bucket list concept, Sonic was convinced to make one for himself, listing the many things he wanted to do before leaving Earth. As Sonic realized how many things he had not done yet though, Tom decided to help him make the most of the evening. During this, the two began to bond. However, the fun was interrupted by a Roadhouse Thug and his companions who did not like Sonic because he was a "hipster". In response, Sonic provoked them into a fight. Sonic, however, was too fast for the thugs and managed to overpower the whole bar with his speed and save Tom. With the Piston Pit in disarray, the two escaped. Eventually, the duo found a motel, where they spent the night. During this time, Sonic bonded more with Tom when he expressed his disappointment about leaving Earth to him. Soon after, Sonic passed out in bed despite his intention to suck up every last minute he had left on Earth.

The next day, Sonic and Tom would discuss their friendship and Tom's own bucket list while on the road. During this, Sonic found out that Tom wanted to leave his post as Green Hills' sheriff and become a street cop in San Francisco permanently. Sonic did not approve of this, however, as he insisted that Tom should stay with his friends and the people he was supposed to protect. Their argument was soon interrupted though by an attack from a tank-like Badnik deployed by Robotnik. As Sonic and Tom tried to escape the Badnik, Sonic's emotional state over Tom's abandonment of his home and friends caused his power to fluctuate again. Fortunately, a freak accident allowed Sonic to knock the Badnik down with an accidental Spin Attack. However, a smaller Badnik tank soon emerged from the wreckage, forcing Sonic and Tom to try and escape again. Eventually confronting the Badnik himself, Sonic used its own electromagnetic mines against it, causing it to crash. When a smaller Badnik emerged from the wreck and resumed the pursuit though, Sonic got behind the wheel of Tom's truck himself while Tom toppled the Badnik at close range. Soon after however, a miniscule Badnik appeared from the trashed Badnik and cut off the roof of the duo's truck with its laser. While Sonic managed to catch it and snap off its flight gear, the Badnik turned into a bomb that got stuck to Sonic's hand. Sonic and Tom proceeded to pull over and attempt to unhook the bomb. Ultimately, they succeeded, but the bomb's explosion was so great that Sonic got knocked out by it.

Afterward, Sonic was taken to the house of his sister-in-law, Rachel in San Francisco. There, Maddie tried to treat Sonic's injuries. Eventually, Maddie woke up Sonic with some smelling salts, who was left to himself while Maddie talked to Tom. In the meantime, Sonic received some new shoes to replace his worn-down ones from Tom's niece, Jojo. After then meeting Tom's dog, Ozzie, Sonic set out in Rachel's "borrowed" car with Tom and Maddie to the Transamerica Pyramid. After driving the car up in front of the building, Sonic did a quick scouting of the building, before returning to Tom and Maddie, revealing that they needed a key to reach the top. Thankfully, Tom was able to get the key and smuggle Sonic up to the top of the building in a bag. There, Sonic found his bag of Rings. After saying what he believed to be his final goodbye to Tom and Maddie however, Robotnik showed up in his Eggpod with an army of flying Badniks. Taunting Robotnik with the nickname "Eggman", which he got from his egg-shaped Badniks, Sonic told Robotnik that he could never catch him. In response, Robotnik targeted the trio with his Badniks. To save Tom and Maddie, Sonic pushed them off the edge of the Transamerica Pyramid, intending to catch up to them and send them to safety with a Ring. While nonchalantly evading and destroying Robotnik's Badniks at super speed however, Sonic, to his surprise, noticed Robotnik catching up to him with his Eggpod and firing a laser at him.

The blast knocked Sonic out briefly, but he soon woke up while falling down from the Transamerica Pyramid. Fortunately, he managed to grab a stray Ring with one of his quills and use it to send the falling Tom and Maddie to Green Hills in the last second. Now alone with Robotnik, Sonic decided to escape him. Regathering his scattered Rings, Sonic began to flee through the streets of San Francisco, opening Rings portals to Paris, the Great Wall of China, and Egypt along the way in an attempt to escape Robotnik and his Eggpod. Eventually though, he got hit hard by Robotnik's laser and launched through a Ring portal he had opened up to Green Hills. Unable to continue his escape any further due to the laser blast, Sonic passed out. However, Tom managed to awaken Sonic and his full power by admitting to all the residents of Green Hills and Robotnik that he was his friend. Now exhibiting control over his peaked powers, Sonic announced that he had no intention of using his power to run away anymore, but to use it to protect his friends. During this, Sonic drained the power from a loose quill of his that Robotnik was using to power his Eggpod. Sonic then ran about, repeatedly striking the Eggpod into submission. At the end, Sonic had Tom open a Ring portal to the Mushroom Planet. Then, with a final head-on Spin Attack, Sonic knocked the Eggpod and Robotnik through the closing portal, trapping the doctor on the Mushroom Planet. When it was over, Sonic and Tom shared a high-five, something which Sonic had always dreamed of. Tom then revealed his intention to stay in Green Hills.

Sometime later, Sonic would visit Tom and Maddie in their house to hang out with them. There, the couple revealed to him that they wanted him to stay with them. Sonic was then given his own room in their attic, which touched him very much. Afterward, Sonic gave both Tom and Maddie his heartful thanks before Ozzie came in and began licking him in spite of Sonic's amused protest.

Standard Equipment

  • Rings: Rings are used for opening portals to other parts of the universe. Sonic has many of them used in case trouble happens to go to different planets and hide.
  • Master Emerald: A powerful emerald that allows one's thoughts to become reality, it holds within it the 7 chaos emeralds which allows Sonic to turn into his super form.

Notable Techniques

  • Spin Dash: He curls himself into a spiked ball and dashes at high speeds. It is strong enough to launch away and destroy large vehicles.
  • Air Manipulation: He is capable of using his sheer speed to produce strong winds that can eventually form a tornado. In certain areas such as deserts, he is capable of using this for more advantages such as blinding foes.
  • Chaos Energy: By harnessing the Chaos Energy emitted by his quills, he can produce small scale EMPs and electrical shocks. When fully utilizing this power, it can be to the scale of causing an outage across the Pacific Northwest and space or making electrical energy constructs.
  • Rings: He can use these as a way of traveling and sending people to other places through visualizing or thinking about them. A giant portal will form when a ring is thrown to show the location and it dissolves in several seconds.

Other

Standard Tactics:

Sonic's natural instinct is to fully utilize his speed to the best of his ability in combat. He will do things such as using his Spin Dash to overpower objects, scale surface and use his acrobatic skills to maneuver around the battlefield if he can and creating tornados to help blind and restrain others. If he is having some difficulty, he will try to use rings to favor him in combat as he goes to different areas to best utilize his speed.

In this state, Sonic tends to use his electrical powers to their fullest. He will use them to enhance himself to blitz other people with sheer speed and making electrical constructs to restrain others. And if wants to close off the situation, he will try to send people to different planets entirely to end the conflict.

In this state, Sonic will repeatedly ram into his opponent from all different sides to take it down. He has also shown that he can use abilities such as creating objects from nothing, but he has only done this thusfar for making a chili dog and hasn't used it in battle.

Weaknesses: Tends to be rather immature and cocky.

Note: Sonic not being able to harm a random person during a bar fight was purely a gag scene at not to be taken seriously as a feat. It was shown that he was taking the entire thing as a practical joke since they couldn't harm nor remotely even catch him as shown with the scene where he views everything as frozen. Alternatively, even if this feat was meant to be taken seriously, the same character he couldn't harm tanked getting thrown through a window with only minor injuries. Even then, Sonic's morality would never have him kill a regular human so it is very likely he was holding back his punches and just held them back to much. All in all, the feat can either be taken as a gag scene, scaling for the person themselves, or Sonic holding back his punches and thus should not be used to downgrade Sonic.
