Sonic the Hedgehog: The Cool Gaming Character
The greatly popular video game character Sonic the Hedgehog comes with a friendly, heroic image in game lovers and children’s mind. As per the back story from Sega Enterprise, Sony is a poor hedgehog, who lives upon scrap burgers and foods, transformed into a cool blue colored super hero due to an unwanted explosion in his master Dr. Kintobor’s laboratory. That explosion blessed Sony with the power of running faster than sound and to create blue colored saw to fight with enemies and these powers forced the character to be called as Sonic or Sonic the Hedgehog.
If the character of Sonic the Hedgehog is analyzed then a different picture comes in our mind. Sonic is often described as “like the wind” by Sega. His colorful lifestyle often makes him to face adverse situations and he leads an adventurous life. Although Sonic is very much easy going but he becomes short tempered with small incidents. He is characterized by his honesty, loyalty and commitment.
The friendly attitude has helped Sonic to have some very loyal friends like Mills, Amy Rose in the course of his missions. Without the help of these friends it would be impossible for Sonic to be successful in his missions. Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends group have set a benchmark in the history of friendship. It reminds us that a friend is such a person who extends a helping hand in tough times and never leaves us in situations of crisis.
Apart from these noble characters, Sonic is also categorized as the fastest hedgehog in the world. He can spin himself and creates furry blue saw. This is known as the famous Spin Attack or the Sonic Spin Attack. Later on Sonic was equipped with two more powers namely the Spin Dash and the Homing Attack in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic Adventure of Sonic the Hedgehog series respectively. The Spin Dash is the power to spin on a particular spot before running at full speed and the Home Attack is characterized by dashing of Sonic in midair towards a target.
A striking feature of Sonic comes in front of us when the desired seven Emeralds are collected. It makes the Sonic to transform into a super hero that can fly very fast and known as Super Sonic. This supersonic phase is only playable in the last stage of the game. The games are designed in such a fashion that Sonic has to collect a definite number of gold rings to become supersonic and it loses each ring during this phase and collection of more rings enables him to make the phase longer.
Every super hero created so far had some lacunae within themselves and Sonic the Hedgehog is not an exception of this. Sonic has a very critical drawback in his physical abilities and that is he can not swim. It is known to all that three quarters of the Earth is water and a hero has to be equipped with the ability of swimming to complete a mission or rescue people. Later on Sonic has developed itself with another power of running on the surface of water.
Although Sonic the Hedgehog is an animated character and not featured yet in any movie unlike Superman, Spiderman etc. but excellent game plays, his character, supporting characters and the missions has established this character firmly in people’s mind in such a way that it becomes the official logo of Formula One championship in 1993 and awarded Golden Joystick Award for \”The Sun Ultimate Gaming Hero in 2004.
