It has been verified that nothing to do with Sonic or anything from his franchise exists in ''Melee'' at all, in spite of the infamous rumor detailed below. However, when Yuji Naka was asked if Sonic had appeared in ''Melee'' in an interview with Edge Magazine, he stated that Sonic could not be included in the game due to time constraints.<ref>[http://www.ssbwiki.com/images/2/2e/YujiNakaInterview.jpg Edge Australia, Issue 04 (p. 24)], "It was very close, but time constraints did not allow us to continue with the idea."</ref>

*[[File:SonicIcon(SSBB).png|50px|right|link=Sonic (SSBB)]]'''{{SSBB|Sonic}}''' ([[Unlockable character|Unlockable]]): The eponymous star of the franchise was the most anticipated and requested third-party character for ''Brawl''. His appearance is based off of the "modern" Sonic appearance in the later ''Sonic'' games, such as ''Sonic Adventure'', ''Sonic Adventure 2'', ''Sonic Heroes'', ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (2006) and ''Sonic Unleashed''. Seemingly as expected, he is a character who emphasizes speed, and has been compared to {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}} in ''Melee''. His [[Final Smash]] is [[Super Sonic]], during which he utilizes the seven Chaos Emeralds to transform him and fly around the stage, ramming into opponents at high speeds.{{clr}}

*38. [[File:SonicIcon(SSBU).png|50px|right|link=Sonic (SSBU)]]'''{{SSBU|Sonic}}''' ([[Unlockable character|Unlockable]]): The iconic Blue Blur returns as an unlockable fighter after being a starter in ''Smash 4''. He is considerably more expressive this time and many of his attacks and animations have been reworked, such as his jab, dash attack, and [[Homing Attack]], he also has a new dash attack, a flying lunge kick. He retains his Final Smash, Super Sonic, but it now has altered functionality; the player has very little control over the movement of the attack, similar to both Pikachu and Diddy Kong’s reworked Final Smashes and Pichu's new Final Smash.{{clr}}
