    @Tidy-Trooper - don't worry, he's there, it's just that he's the same as the Sonic 3 sprite so we didn't see any reason to include him twice :)

    Sonic started to lose his looks after Sonic CD. NiGHTS was probably partially to blame- they accentuated his spikes, giving him a harlequin look. They also started to make him skinnier than the satisying sprite of old. The older version are balanced just right in proportions to convincingly look like a round ball when spinning. Compare the very first shot of Sonic finger waving on the first Sonic the hedgehog, a look of assured confidence on his face, to the gaunt gangster wannabe of later incarnations.

    The Werehog WAS a dumb idea, but I don't think it fits here. It may be Sonic, but it's not Sonic's natural form. If your going to include the Werehog, you should include all Super Sonics, Hyper Sonic, Darkspine Sonic and Golden Knight Sonic as well. :P

    Though I think that sonic looks better in Brawl by far to date to be honest he was best in Sonic 2 on the Sega Genesis

    sonic adventure 2 or sonic unleashed version are the best I think

    Haters. Anyways, yeah, those Sonics you chose to be in "The Best" section are good, BUT I noticed they're all 2D. I LIKE 3D Sonic.

    I also think the Sonic 2 sprite is the best.

    In terms of character design, I prefer his appearance in Sonic Unleashed. (Not the Werehog form, mind you.) His personality was evident and he looks very sleek and aerodynamic.

    Sonic CDs my favorite 2D one, nothing beats the pale blue Sonic IMO. I can't decide which 3D Sonic I like best though, it's between 2006 or Unleashed.

    I like the Super Smash Bros. the best, he seems the most defined.

  • stupididiot7 - April 2, 2009 1:47 a.m.

    Sonic Unleashed!

    I think reCAPTCHAs are the new thing. Apparently, I'm "in Louise"

    sonic 2 is teh pwn! ^_^

    Is it just me, or does the Sonic for Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, look like his pupils are way too big. He looks stoned.

  • animeman - April 1, 2009 6:28 p.m.

    I like the Sonic from SSBB the best or any other 3D Sonic.

  • Necron - April 1, 2009 6:10 p.m.

    I like both Sonic 2 and 3 renditions. Sonic was just meant to be 2D it seems. Recaptcha: Privates could, LOL!!!

  • SuperBadnik - April 1, 2009 3:55 p.m.

    I thought he looked best in Sonic the Hedgehog(2006) despite game being a bit mediocure.

  • Camoxide - April 1, 2009 2:50 p.m.

    Sonic advanced. Somehow Sonic Heroes took a step back in graphics...

    I loved the redraw for Sonic 1, on the iPod. Am I the only one that played it?
