Sonic's younger self. An impatient small blue hedgehog from Christmas Island who runs very fast and loves going on adventures, whenever it's to put a stop to Eggman's plans or to help people. He has impressive acrobatic skills and an outstanding strengh in addition to his ability to harness the energy of the Chaos Emeralds to turn into "Super Sonic". He has a strong brotherly bound with his best friend Miles "Tails" Prower, a friendly rivalry with Knuckles and an ambiguous friendship with Amy Rose.
ITERATIONS & DESIGN DIFFERENCES
From left to right by order of appearance: Classic Sonic, Modern Sonic, Boom Sonic, Movie Sonic.
There are four main iterations of Sonic and Classic Sonic is the first one. Compared to the other iterations, he is smaller, his quills and skin are colored in lighter colors, his stomach has a round shape, his pupils are black and his eyelids are the same color as his skin. His shoes have a pointy edge and its soles are not visible.
A VOICE?
Classic Sonic used to have a voice! He was voiced in many languages by many voice actors over the years! Contrary to popular beliefs, Sonic CD is not the first time Classic Sonic had a voice. Actually, the first time he had a voice was in a Japanese commercial for Sonic the Hedgehog! He also has a voice in Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car and in SegaSonic the Hedgehog, games released before Sonic CD thus making Sonic CD the fourth time Classic Sonic had a voice.
Since Sonic Generations, he doesn't have a voice anymore. He doesn't speak anymore in games and animations/cartoons but he does in comic books!
BACKSTORIES & TIMELINE
BACKSTORIES
Classic Sonic has multiple and different backstories (finishing this later im kinda lazy right now)
In Story Gaiden, a story in the third volume ofSonic the Hedgehog Story Comic, he's the emblem of an American Air Force member who was nicknamed "The Hedgehog". This Air Force member died in a plane explosion during a test flight attempt to break the sound barrier but luckily, his jacket was preseverd because he decided to swap it with the jacket of another pilot who participated to the test flight. That pilot decided to name this jaket "Sonic the Hedgehog" as a tribute. One day, the pilot decides to gift the jacket to the daughter of the Air Force member, named Meg, and everytime she wears the jacket, she feels like her father is looking over her and protecting her. A while after, Meg goes to an air show but an accident happens and caused a big fire. Meg is about to collapse because she's trapped in the fire but before collapsing, Classic Sonic shows up and she moves towards him, thus helping her to go away from the flames. She sees Classic Sonic doing his finger sign (that her father does) before fainting. She wakes up in an hospital a week after the event and she notices that the Sonic emblem on the jacket disappered.
In Sonic the Comic, he was a brown hedgehog and lived in Emerald Hill Zone, a location in Moebius. He befriends and decides to help Dr Ovi. Kintobor's in his researches after discovering his laboratory. Classic Sonic claiming to be he's the fastest hedgehog aroused Ovi's curiousity so he decided to run experiments on him. As the results of the experiments, the scientific created Power Sneakers (the shoes Classic Sonic wears). When testing his speed and the Power Sneakers on a treadmil machine, Classic Sonic ran so fast to the point of breaking the speed of sound he made an accident that turned his quills blue.
In Sonic Underground, he's one of Queen Aleena's triplets, thus making him a prince (and the future king of Mobius). Separated from his mother and siblings after a prophet told his mother to do so to save their lives due to them being placed a bounty on, he's raised by his uncle who taught him how to play and electric guitar after his foster home got destroyed and his foster parents got arrested. Years after, he reunites with Sonia, his sister and Manic, his brother. They form a music band together in hope to find their mother.
