Sonic the Hedgehog’s age: a close analysis
“How old is sonic the hedgehog? What about the rest of the characters?” is an ongoing debate. To find the majibu for these questions, we must look at the past, as many have. When I first started to wonder about this myself, I knew I couldn’t just take somebody’s word for it. I had to look for the majibu myself. Before stressing myself with the task of finding the ages of every single character, I knew I had to find the first and most main character’s age: Sonic the hedgehog. He was and is the key to finding the ages of all the characters. I started kwa looking at the oldest pieces in the Sonic history: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic and Tails (I think), Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic cd, Sonic Underground, The adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, and Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM. I am fortunate enough to have the knowledge that Sonic’s age is about the age of 12 in all of these. Alright, that said, I am not going to voice my opinion on the other character ages just yet. There’s zaidi to be said.
Moving on. inayofuata we come to the famous SA1-SA2 era. I will honestly say that I do not have a good idea of how old Sonic is in these. However, I estimated (yes past tense) that he was about 16 in these games. What came next, however, threw me off completely when it came to Sonic age calculation. SONIC X. Here’s why: It’s a huge mess in general. When wewe watch the english version of the show, wewe can easily assume Sonic to be 16 based on everybody else’s present opinion. However, if wewe watch the japanese dubbed version, during the first episode around a commercial break, it shows clearly that Sonic is a 15-year-old-hedgehog (This in my opinion is constantly causing division and unrest amongst our fellow Sonic fanbases). This is extremely confusing if wewe have the same mindset as I did about SA1-SA2.
And then there’s...Sonic Heroes. Also a mess. And even zaidi confusion. Based on my analysis on its game predecessors, Sonic should be 16. But of course there’s a problem: SEGA decided to make Sonic look like a freaking 14-year-old (or at least he did in my opinion). I cannot wrap, upangaji pamoja my mind around how they decided to change Sonic’s appearance into something that should never have been. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?! But the graphics were still amazing, so heshima to SEGA for that. Anyway, Sonic’s age is 16 in Sonic Heroes. Just wanted to set that out there, bizarre as it may seem to some.
Sonic Rush-Sonic Colors. Sonic should obviously at this time be 16-16½ years old. And since the inayofuata game in the Sonic series was Sonic generations, in which it is Sonic’s birthday, Sonic turns 17. So based on this it should be known that Sonic is 17 in his newest game, Sonic Lost Worlds.
So if the Sonic team boards au whatever haven’t changed/updated Sonic the Hedgehog’s current age yet, they should.
