Description
Sonic the Hedgehog is the title character and the protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series published by Sega, in addition to numerous spin-off comics, animations, and other media. Sonic himself is a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog who can run at supersonic speeds and is able to curl into a ball, primarily to attack enemies. In most games, Sonic the Hedgehog must race through levels, collecting power-up rings while avoiding obstacles and enemies.
The design of Sonic was aimed to be something that could be easily drawn by children and be iconic, as well as show off a "cool" attitude. Sonic the Hedgehog's blue pigmentation was chosen to match Sega's cobalt blue logo, and his shoes then evolved from a design inspired by both Santa Claus and Michael Jackson's boots and the addition of the color red, which was then inspired by the contrast of those colors on Jackson's 1987 album Bad; his personality was based on the -presidential candidate and later President of the United States Bill Clinton's "Get it done" attitude during the 1992 presidential campaign. To help sell the idea to Sega's higher-ups, Ohshima pitched the concept framed by a fictional fighter pilot that had earned the name "Hedgehog" due to his spiky hair and had decorated his plane with images of Sonic.
