The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Sonic the Hedgehog
Template:Character Sonic the Hedgehog (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Sonikku za Hejiihoggu) is SEGA's mascot and Mario's "rival", or so Nintendo has said. He makes his first Smash appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as the second third-party character, after Solid Snake.
For the fighter information, see Sonic the Hedgehog (SSBB).
Character Description
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
In the April 2002 edition of EGM, an Aprils Fool's claim was that Sonic and Tails, the two biggest mascots of the game company Sega, could be unlocked in Super Smash Bros. Melee by defeating 20 or more Fighting Wire Frames in Cruel Melee. Players have proven this rumor false both in premise and in practice. When asked if Sonic was going to appear in Melee in an interview with Edge Magazine, Yuji Naka, creator of the Sonic franchise, stated that "It was very close, but time constraints did not allow us to continue with the idea."
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Main Article: Sonic the Hedgehog (SSBB)
Sonic is a confirmed character for Brawl. He is described as being a very fast character, similar to Fox, Captain Falcon and Falco in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Judging by the E for All demo and an update on Smash Bros. DOJO!!, his attacks are based on more classic moves from Sonic's earlier platforming games. He is the only Brawl character who was included in the game's development in 2007 (all the other Brawl characters were in developement before beforehand) according to an interview with Sakurai.
