Sonic the Hedgehog (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ Sonikku za Hejjihoggu), is a video game series and media franchise created and owned by Sega. The franchise follows Sonic, an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog who battles the evil Doctor Eggman, a mad scientist. The main Sonic the Hedgehog games are platformers mostly developed by Sonic Team; other games, developed by various studios, include spin-offs in the racing, fighting, party and sports genres.
While Sonic games often have unique game mechanics and stories, they feature recurring elements such as the ring-based health system, locations, and speedy gameplay. Games typically feature Sonic setting out to stop Eggman's schemes for world domination, and the player navigates levels that include springs, slopes, bottomless pits, and vertical loops. While Sonic and Eggman were the only characters introduced in the first game, the series would go on to have a large cast of characters; some, such as Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Shadow the Hedgehog, have starred in spin-offs.
The franchise branched out into other media in the early 1990s. DIC Entertainment produced three Sonic-based animated series between 1993 and 1999, while Studio Pierrot released a two-part original video animation, localized in North America as Sonic the Hedgehog: Battle for Freedom, in 1996. Other Sonic animations include TMS Entertainment's Sonic X (2003–2006) and OuiDo Productions' Sonic Boom (2014–2018). Archie Comics, Fleetway Publications, and IDW Publishing have published Sonic comic books.
