While the entire Sonic Advance trilogy includes some of Sonic's best 2D outings from the post-Genesis era, Sonic Advance remains the best in terms of consistency. It is not only a great starting point for the GBA series but also had some of the best level variety out of the entire Sonic Advance trilogy, and it is a shame that Sega has yet to re-release these games beyond the Game Boy Advance. 3. Sonic Adventure 2: BattleSonic Adventure 2: Battle for the Gamecube improved the base game with better textures, multiplayer, new upgrades, and exclusive characters. That base version of Sonic Adventure 2 was already damn good, and still stands tall to this day as one of the most beloved 3D Sonic games of all time.

In May 2013, Nintendo announced it was collaborating with Sega to produce Sonic games for its Wii U and 3DS platforms. [151] The first game in the partnership, 2013's Sonic Lost World, [151] was also the first Sonic game for eighth-generation hardware. [152] Sonic Lost World was designed to be streamlined and fluid in movement and design, [153] borrowing elements from Nintendo's Super Mario Galaxy games and the canceled X-treme. [154] The second was Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games (2013) for the Wii U, the fourth Mario & Sonic game and a 2014 Winter Olympics tie-in (see Crossovers section). [151] The deal was completed in 2014 with the release of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric for the Wii U and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal for the 3DS; these games were based on the Sonic Boom television series. [141] [155] Sonic Lost World polarized critics, [156] while critics found Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games mediocre [157] and panned the Sonic Boom games. [141] Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, a Shattered Crystal sequel, was released in 2016. [158]Zimmerman, Conrad (April 4, 2010). "Watch Sonic X on Hulu this Easter". Destructoid.

In 2008, Guinness World Records recognized Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog as the longest-running comic based on a video game, [369] and by 2016 it was one of the longest-running American comics in the market. While Archie planned to publish at least four issues beyond #290, in January 2017 the series went on an abrupt hiatus, [367] and in July, Sega announced it was ending its business relationship with Archie in favor of a new partnership with IDW Publishing. [366] IDW's Sonic comic began in April 2018. Although the creative teams from the Archie series, such as Flynn, returned, the IDW series is set in a different continuity. Flynn said the IDW series differs from the Archie comic in that it draws from the games for stories, with the first story arc set after the events of Sonic Forces. [370] Fans continued the Archie series unofficially, including finishing unpublished issues, while Penders is using the characters he gained ownership of for a graphic novel, The Lara-Su Chronicles.

Fahey, Rob (November 24, 2006). "Sonic The Hedgehog". Eurogamer. Archived from the original on March 1, 2017. Sonic games traditionally follow Sonic's efforts to stop Eggman, who schemes to obtain the Chaos Emeralds—seven [b] emeralds with mystical powers. The Emeralds can turn thoughts into power, [203] warp time and space with a technique called Chaos Control, [204] [205] give energy to living things, and be used to create nuclear or laser-based weaponry. [206] They typically act as MacGuffins in the stories. [207] Eggman seeks the Emeralds in his quest to conquer the world, and traps animals in aggressive robots and prison capsules. Because Sonic Team was inspired by the culture of the 1990s, Sonic features environmental themes. [208] Sonic represents "nature", [208] while Eggman represents "machinery" and "development"—a play on the then-growing debate between environmentalists and developers.
