On-screen appearance

• Sonic enters the stage in ball form from the foreground and gives a thumbs-up.

Taunts

• Up taunt: Does a somersault, then crosses his arms with his index finger pointing out while making a teasing clicking sound, which forms into one of his signature poses.
• Side taunt: Performs a figure-eight peelout dash, similar to the Super Peel Out technique from Sonic the Hedgehog CD, while saying "You're too slow!" (遅すぎだぜ！, You're too slow!).
• Down taunt: Says "C'mon!" both in English and Japanese while performing the windmill, a breakdancing move.

Idle poses

• Turns towards the player, waving his finger in a patronizing manner while grinning. He did this on the title screen in a few of his games.
• Looks at the camera for a moment while tapping his foot impatiently. This is a reference to his idle animation from the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games for the Sega Genesis.

Victory poses

The origin of this theme is from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), which itself is an orchestrated remix of the tune that plays when Sonic passed an Act in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

• Collects the blue Chaos Emerald and poses with it while saying "Piece of cake!".
• Sprints off-screen then sprints back on-screen before giving a thumbs-up and saying "That was almost too easy!".
• Breakdances and then does a pose, saying "Let's do that again sometime!".
