Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog (born June 23) is a fictional character and the titular protagonist of the video game series of the same name. He has served as Sega's company mascot since the release of his first game in 1991. Sonic's sidekick and best friend is named Miles "Tails" Prower, who is a two tailed fox. His first rival is Knuckles the Echidna. He has a troublesome self-proclaimed girlfriend named Amy Rose, who is trying to have a date with him despite his lack of interest. His nemesis is called Dr. Ivo Robotnik, who now goes by the name Dr. Eggman (or simply Eggman) which was once a nickname given to him by the Blue Blur himself, until he adopted it.

In The Simpsons

1. 1995: In Marge Be Not Proud (S7E11), he is one of Bart's video game hallucinations alongside Mario, Luigi and Donkey Kong encouraging him to steal the newest, ultra-violent video game, Bonestorm.
2. 2007: A parody of Sonic the Hedgehog appears in the Enter the Cheatrix episode of The Simpsons Game.
3. 2008: In That '90s Show (S19E11) the 90's Homer Simpson shows the 90's Marge a sign which depicts Sonic presenting one of the series' trademark Rings to Amy Rose, Sonic's "would-be" love interest in their respective series. This is based on The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog TV show when at the end of every episode there would be a segment called "Sonic Says". Notably, Amy's design is the modern one introduced in the video game Sonic Adventure (1998), which is inconsistent with the episode's time-frame (which would be in the early 1990s); possibly, Amy's own appearance could be a contradiction, as she was introduced to the game series in 1993's Sonic CD, and does not appear in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog TV show.
4. 2011: In The Food Wife (S23E5) you can see a parody of Sonic in the video game convention, E4.

Personality

Sonic is said to be "like the wind"; a drifter that is always on the move and is noted for being free-spirited and adventurous. He values freedom above all else and strives to live his life according to his own rules and whims rather than the standards of those around him or for the sake of heroism and duty, never thinking twice about what other people say or think. Born to run, Sonic enjoys nothing more than traveling the world. Endowed with a strong passion for enjoying life, he is never in one place for long and always moves forward to look for his next challenge, viewing his life as a never-ending series of adventures. Because of his need for freedom, Sonic loathes the idea of being constrained; being cooped up or being forced to stay in one place tends to make him very uneasy and restless. By the time of the Phantom Ruby incident, however, Sonic appears to have somewhat overcome his stir-craziness, remaining calm and snarky even after being imprisoned aboard the Death Egg for six months.

Sonic's demeanor is normally easygoing, cool, and carefree, no matter the crisis. However, he is often impatient, hates boredom, and can possess a short temper. Because of his impulsive nature, Sonic can be reckless and quick to act before thinking, throwing himself into trouble without a second thought and regards for others' warnings. Nevertheless, he is honest, fearless, and always keeps his promises.

Sonic's personality is a juxtaposition of kindness and ferocity. He is extremely benevolent, driven by his own strong sense of justice and fair play, and firmly stands for truth and freedom. However, he is never the one to rest in the face of injustice or oppression. He hates lies, unfairness, and evil in all its forms, exploding with anger when witnessing anything unjust and doing all he can to snuff it out, throwing his life on the line without hesitation. However, he usually sees his heroics as an opportunity to have fun, making him a thrill-seeker. To Sonic, saving the world is no big feat and just another thrilling episode in his life. When he finds himself in a pinch, he acts as though nothing can stop him. In times of crisis, though, he is aggressive and focuses intensely on the task at hand as if his personality has undergone an astonishing change. At the same time, Sonic has a big and kind heart and is fully committed to helping out anyone in need at any time when they are in trouble, even if it means getting himself into trouble or being despised by others.

Sonic has a lot of self-confidence, making him sassy, quick-witted, cocky, and at times overconfident. Sonic’s signature positive attitude is where his massive internal ego comes from; he thinks he and his friends will always find a way out of any situation, but this attitude sometimes leads to him underestimating his enemies and the task at hand. However, this ego is not to be confused with pride, as Sonic does not see himself as more important than others. No matter the threat or how dangerous, he always remains cool under pressure.

In the original Japanese version, Sonic omits honorifics and speaks informally (if not rudely), using "ore" instead of "I" when addressing himself or others ("ore" is a boastful way to say "I" in Japanese). However, he will still occasionally use honorifics when addressing close friends or acquaintances. Possessing a narcissistic tongue and big attitude, he often jokes around to light the mood and will also take any opportunity to taunt his opponents. Being so smug, he has developed a habit of talking to mindless robots, even when he knows they cannot hear him. Despite this, he can be more of a gentleman when he wants to and be modest with fancy titles. Additionally, while Sonic generally assumes he can deal with things on his own, he also realizes he has friends to back him up in troubling situations and believes strongly in teamwork. In keeping with his smugness and confidence, he often engages in playful banter with his enemies; examples include asking Infinite "optional" questions to glean into what the secret behind the latter's powers were, what his favorite color was and whether he liked long, romantic walks on the beach, as well as "asking" a Zavok replica if he would let Sonic join a party occurring on the Death Egg (referring to the commotion resulting from the Resistance's infiltration of the area). Sonic is likewise very competitive; while he takes no interest in challenges he knows he can win easily, Sonic always welcomes a good competition that has him squaring off against others on even ground. Sonic likewise never holds back when pitted against others in a test of skills and abilities, and is not above trash-talking his opponents.

In keeping with his footloose lifestyle, Sonic never dwells on the past or allows his painful experiences to weigh him down. Instead, he lives in the present and always looks forward to his next adventure, holding no regrets for what has transpired. It is only in the moments of greatest loss that his macho and carefree appearance falls away, like the apparent death of Elise. Similarly, Sonic always does what he thinks is right and never second-guesses what he does, remaining steadfast to the end. Together, these qualities give Sonic an incredibly strong character and will; no matter the situation, he never doubts himself or gives up, never once submitting to the darkness in his heart.

Sonic is extremely loyal to his friends and will risk his life for them without any due consideration. While he can leave them hanging, act rude towards them, or endanger them due to his fast-paced nature, Sonic never intends to make his friends unhappy and values them above all else, treating each of them as the most important person in his life. He will likewise always accept help from his friends and show great trust in them. Sonic places everyone one on the same level as him and does not show interest in treating anyone differently because of a supposed superiority. Because of this, he can come across as rude to figures of authority by speaking to them informally, which often lands him in trouble.

Regardless of the many foes he has faced, Sonic rarely considers them true enemies and instead tends to admire them for how powerful some of them are and how much fun they can provide him. Likewise, he is shown to have a remarkable capacity to forgive; the most notable example of this is when he forgave Silver and worked with him after the latter had tried to kill him twice.

Despite his outward demeanor, Sonic has shown to be much more insightful than he usually lets on, capable of seeing things others would have overlooked and giving valuable and comforting advice that drastically changes the outlook of others, such as in the case of Elise, Merlina, and Blaze. This insight, combined with a charismatic personality, allows Sonic to get along with virtually anyone he meets, even if they were his enemies at one point. However, while Sonic is able to change those around him for the better, he himself has not really changed over the course of his adventures; he sticks firmly to his beliefs and does not let anything but himself define him.

Sonic has a fondness of the beauty of nature and he stands as a protector of it. As seen during the Wisp incident, he appreciates scenic views, and was incensed to find out that Eggman was polluting Planet Wisp's beautiful and lush environment. During the Solaris incident, Sonic is also shown to have a fondness for locations that are filled with flowers, trees, and other kinds of plants. Ironically, despite his inability to swim, Sonic also loves going to the ocean.

Sonic has been shown to enjoy music, but seems to have a special interest in rock music. Furthermore, it was displayed during the Sol Emerald incident that Sonic also enjoys break dancing, which is reflected in his Trick Actions. His battle moves seen during the Emerl incident are also based on break dancing as mentioned in the attack descriptions. He also break dances in numerous games, usually when he is victorious.

Sonic tends to get irritated when his enemies often misidentify his species, namely by calling him a rat, making him correct them and state his actual species is a hedgehog. This was best demonstrated with his encounters with Erazor Djinn, and to a lesser extent with his encounter with Infinite at Mystic Jungle.
