*Sonic has made the most ''Super Smash Bros.'' appearances out of any third-party fighter that has been playable in the series, having appeared in all games since his debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.

*Sonic is the only third-party fighter to undergo a redesign between games. He uses a modified version of his model from ''Sonic and the Secret Rings'', with much more detailed textures that have the colored shading of Yuji Uekawa's artwork, in ''Brawl''. From ''SSB4'' onwards, his design is his standard look as of ''Sonic Unleashed'' (previously used in pre-rendered cutscenes and promotional renders from other ''Sonic'' games) with elements from the Classic and Uekawa designs. ''Wii U'' uses a new model designed to fit the ''Brawl'' model's animation rig, while ''3DS'' reuses the ''Brawl'' model with some modifications to better resemble the ''Wii U'' model. ''Ultimate'' uses a heavily remodeled version of the ''Wii U'' model. The ''3DS'' model oddly enough retains the Uekawa-esque shading of the ''Brawl'' model that is gone from the models in ''Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''.

**Additionally, he is the only third-party fighter to have their voice actor changed between installments, switching from Jason Griffith to Roger Craig Smith in ''SSB4''. However a few of Griffith's voice clips, such as Sonic's snoring and water surfacing sound, are still used in ''SSB4'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

*Although he is unable to do so in his home series, Sonic [[swimming|can swim]] in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. However, to reflect his adverse mobility in water in his home series, his very frantic swimming style makes him among the slowest swimmers in the series. In ''Ultimate'', this trait is further accentuated, as Sonic receives damage while swimming.

**Ironically, real-world hedgehogs can swim, but have difficulty getting out of water.

**Furthermore, in the case of ''SSB4'', he was the first veteran in the series to have a dedicated reveal trailer, followed by {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}, {{SSB4|Lucas}}, and {{SSB4|Roy}}. Of those four, he is the only one who is not DLC and whose trailer lacked both splash art and a tagline.

**On a related note, he was only voiced in English and Japanese in ''Brawl'', making him the only fighter to start out voiced in two languages for their first ''Super Smash Bros.'' appearance, and then be voiced in more languages in their subsequent appearance.
