"The evil doctor (also known as Eggman) has been a bad egg from the very beginning. Nobody knows quite where he came from, but he is definitely behind any problem that comes up. Dr. Robotnik loves machines. He loves them so much that his idea of a perfect world would be to have it full of nothing but machines. He thinks they are beautiful and he likes that he can control them. A genuine genius megalomaniac, he spends all of his time trying to replace the natural world with his beautiful machines He is not very concerned about saving the planet (being a notorious polluter), and he particularly likes the idea of exploiting the oceans for their riches (This really gets to Sonic, because Sonic loves the oceans and can't stand the idea of Robotnik messing with them). In order to have ultimate control in his quest, Robotnik must find and control all of the Chaos Emeralds, and most importantly.....Sonic."

"Sonic is the star. He is a cool blue dude with an attitude. he is not a "do-gooding" hero. He is loyal to his friends and has a good sense of right and wrong, but he is a very independent guy who is mostly interested in doing his own thing. He is not book smart, but he is very street smart. He loves beauty, nature, and adventure, but his primary passion is for speed and indeed he can run faster than anyone on the planet. Two things he does not do are; swim (he sinks like a stone), or ride around in cars, motorcycles, etc. (why should he when he can run faster than them all!). He fancies himself as a bit of a ladies man, but he does not like to be chased by girls. He is generally impatient and likes to get things done quickly. Sometimes this can work against him because he is not very detail oriented. But for the most part, Sonic is as quick witted as he is fast footed and this gives him an extraordinary combination of talents that keep him the idol of kids around the globe."

"Sonic was born on a small island called Christmas Island. But his love for adventure called him away and he has visited so many different places on Earth that he doesn't really have a place he considers to be home. The Sonic stories center around his favorite group of islands including South Island (Sonic 1), Westside Island (Sonic 2), and Angel Island (Sonic 3). The first Sonic Story is located on South Island which is quite beautiful. This island is known for the curious fact that it floats around in the ocean. That is why it can not be found on any map. Sonic is fond of sitting on its beach in his beach chair, wearing sunglasses, and listening to cool rock music. Sonic loves to sing in his own rock band, and enjoys being with his friends, but he is just as happy to be alone. Sonic would be very happy enjoying his own pastimes were it not for the constant intrusions of his arch rival Dr. Robotnik (also sometimes known as Eggman because of his round shape). The evil doctor seems to have an endless supply of fiendish plots to take over the world, but Sonic seems to always find a way to frustrate his plans and keep him at bay. This has given Sonic somewhat of a celebrity status with the local inhabitants and he is loved by all as much as Robotnik is hated by all. Westside Island is a very ancient island with plenty of treasures and ancient ruins. It is also said to contain a small supply of a very powerful natural crystals called "Chaos Emeralds". These multi-colored emeralds have tremendous energy and could be used to create the most powerful nuclear bombs and laser weapons if they fell into the wrong hands. Legend says that they exist here, but nobody can remember actually seeing them. The reason for this is that the Chaos Emeralds exist in a _different dimension_ and no one has yet been able to find a way to actually possess them. One day, Dr. Robotnik heard the stories of the Chaos Emeralds and he vowed to do whatever it took to acquire them for his own evil purposes. He, and his henchmen, built a huge fortress where he made robots of many types and sent them off to find the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic stood up in defiance of Robotnik's troops and kicked them all back into the fortress telling them never to come out again. But the evil doctor had other plans. as he sulked away, he vowed that he would find the Chaos Emeralds, and he would get his revenge on Sonic the Hedgehog. A short time later, Sonic made an amazing discovery. His friends had all disappeared! Robotnik had been capturing all of the defenseless animals in the countryside and had changed them into robots! Dr. Robotnik was converting Sonic's friends into slaves and now only Sonic to save them! Can Sonic do it? Will Robotnik succeed in his quest for the emeralds while exacting his revenge on Sonic? Can Sonic subdue the hoards of robot animals without hurting his friends inside? Will Robotnik take over the whole world? So begins the video game saga of Sonic the Hedgehog......"

"It seems that the only thing Sega did when it gave Sonic a third dimension to exist in is give me the first and most defining reason to begin despising the useless spiky blue cretin."

"Some quotes from the Sonic franchise aren't memorable because they're good or thought-provoking, but because they're nonsensical."

"[to Modern Sonic]: As much as I dislike relying on others, I'm grateful for your aid. The creature was beyond my skills."

"[to Classic Sonic]: I wish I hadn't needed your help, Sonic, but thank you. By the way, you seem to look less... spiky."

"[to Modern Sonic]: I was scared because somebody took me, but now I'm free! I'm a free bee, free bee, free bee! Whee!"

"[to Classic Sonic]: That was very scary, but being with you makes it all better! Yeah! Hey... you look different."

"Thanks, Sonic. You know, I've got a hunch someone or something is controlling that monster."

"[to Modern Sonic] It takes a mighty foe to trap a ninja. Be on your guard, Sonic."

"[to Classic Sonic] Thank you, my friend. Beware, for I have looked into the soul of our enemy and I saw only darkness."

"[to Modern Sonic] Thanks, Big Blue. That's the first time I've ever been stolen."

"[to Classic Sonic] Thanks, buddy. The thing that snatched me was like nothing I've ever seen before. Watch out. Come to think of it, you're nothing like the Sonic I've seen before."

"[to Modern Sonic] Thanks for saving me, Sonic. It was scary in the dark, but I tried to be brave."

"[to Classic Sonic] Thanks, Sonic. Hey, is it me, or did you get a new haircut?"

"[to Modern Sonic] Thanks for the help. Not that I needed it, but it's good to have my sanctuary back!"

"[to Classic Sonic] Thanks, Sonic. You did a good job back there. Hey, did you gain weight?"

"[to Modern Sonic] You saved me, Sonic. I was afraid I'd never be able to flirt with you again."

"[to Classic Sonic] Thank you, Sonic. Wow, you look younger every day! What's your secret?"

"[to Modern Sonic] Thanks, Sonic. I thought I was dead! Floating without a body in a black limbo! [shivers] I'm going to have nightmares for weeks."

"[to his Modern counterpart] I think I figured it out!"
