Produced under the supervision of Sonic Team, this two-part Japanese anime brought to life another version of Sonic the Hedgehog, also based on the games but once again being significantly different. Given no clear backstory, it is established that Sonic lives somewhere on South Island in the ruins of an airliner, and prefers to relax in this tropical locale then being needlessly bothered by other people. Sonic's personality leans more toward his Fleetway counterpart than his Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog one. While he will still rush in to save his friends from certain danger and Dr. Eggman, there are times when he wishes to be left alone, and can suddenly snap at even his closest friends and allies.

Dear Sally,

I'v Always love you.Your hair sore from the wind,your beautiful eyes shining like icicles of glacier ice.

i want you so bad.

When you cry,I felt bad.
When you smile, i felt so warm.
When your mad, i like to give you space until you want me near.
when your hurt,I'll make sure someone's gonna pay.

If your reading this,I know your heart will pump right in a second in every word.

I want to hold you.
I want to kiss you.

I miss you so bad,I don't want to live far away from you anymore,I want to come back to Mobius.

If I come back,I'll give you something,something special.Special that can make you cry.

I always wanted this.I always do.

Sally, i would like to ask you.

Will you Marry me?

I know your crying in tears.Tears of Joy.

I'll be coming back.Don't worry,Im always here for you.

You could send me a letter back if you want.

I love you Sal.

~ Sonic

Fleetway's Sally Squirrel has no title and resembles the aforementioned "Ricky Squirrel" in female form. This version of Sally is more rotund and a bit of a "crybaby," and has a brother much like Archie's Sally does.

SatAM Sally:
In SatAM, Sally is the leader of the Freedom Fighters. She is the love interest of Sonic the Hedgehog, much to the dismay of the young royal guard, Antoine. She is something of a mother to Tails, Sonic's surrogate younger brother, and a good friend of Bunnie Rabbot. Sally's goal, along with the rest of the Freedom Fighters, is to defeat Doctor Robotnik and free her father, King Acorn. She is voiced by Kath Soucie.

Once again creating a completely different origin story, DiC choose to produce an animated series having nothing to do with either of their previous efforts. Born into a royal family, Sonic and his two siblings, Manic and Sonia, are separated from their mother because of the intervention of Dr. Robotnik, who overthrows the kingdom. Maintaining his rule by appealing to the upper class, Dr. Robotnik's role as dictator forces the three hedgehog siblings to be raised by other families, and are only reunited once they reach their teenage years. Sonic, Sonia, and Manic then decide to form an underground rock group, appropriately named Sonic Underground. They use the band as a front to gather intelligence and to one day reunite with their mother, Queen Aleena, and overthrow Dr. Robotnik once and for all.

Once again under the supervision of Sonic Team, Sonic X is closely based on the Sonic Adventure-era Sonic, even sharing the same voice actors in the Japanese original. The one major difference is that Sonic and friends are from another, unnamed planet and are transported to Earth through a machine emitting Chaos Control. Once there, they make friends with Chris Thorndyke and his family, who oftentimes is portrayed as Sonic's other sidekick, but constantly in need of Sonic's help. While the first half of series one is an original story, the second half decided to adapt Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Battle, making changes as necessary to stay in line with the continuity they created with the first 26 episodes. While this has been the closest the video game version of Sonic the Hedgehog has come to an animated form, there are still significant differences which make Sonic X its own unique world.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Japanese: ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Romaji: Sonikku za hejjihoggu), "The Most Famous Hedgehog In The World," is the flagship character for home and arcade game (and former game console) maker Sega. Designed to compete with Nintendo's mascot Mario, the two companies went head to head for over a decade, until Sega pulled out of the home console market.

Sega has made numerous video games staring Sonic since his debut in 1991, spanning five generations of console manufacturing. Through numerous aggressive ad campaigns (the most famous being the touting of "Blast Processing," described as being able to render sprites at extreme speeds but actually referring to the CPU's clock rate), Sonic soon became the most recognizable fictional character in the world, even beating out Mickey Mouse. While his glory days may be behind him, Sonic is still a significant part of gaming, and it can not be denied that he forever changed the gaming world.
