History of Sonic the Hedgehog

He is a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog who can run at supersonic speeds and curl into a ball, primarily to attack enemies.

In the Sonic The Hedgehog 2 after credits scene, the US military was cleaning up after the battle between Sonic, Super Sonic, Tales, Knuckles, after they had defeated Robotnik (Jim Carrey). The nefarious doctor had supposedly died in a ball of fire, with the military assuming nobody could survive such a catastrophe. Despite that supposition, a corpse was never definitively found, which suggests that Robotnik is still alive. There’s no doubt that the Sonic The Hedgehog 2 after credits stirred the pot a little bit.

Will Jim Carrey return?

In addition, Robotnik’s friend Agent Stone (Lee Majdoub) was shown hiding amongst the military personnel, desperately searching for him. Despite Jim Carrey claiming he’s considering retiring after the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie, this ending objectively suggests Robotnik’s return in Sonic 3. Jim Carrey did an excellent job in his role and after the Sonic The Hedgehog 2 after credits scene, fans want him back,

Will Shadow the Hedgehog finally make an appearance in Sonic The Hedgehog 3?

Moreover, the military personnel revealed that the havoc wreaked on Green Hills was connected directly to the previously defunct ‘Project Shadow’, followed by the briefly shown outline of a black and red hedgehog floating around in a tank of water. This image was meant to tease Shadow the Hedgehog, the most famously villainous hedgehog/anthropomorphic character in all of Sonic. Originally introduced in the game Sonic Adventure 2 back in 2001, rivaling the first appearance of Knuckles in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in 1994 in terms of instant popularity. However, unlike Knuckles, though, Shadow never became true member of Sonic’s team, choosing to be a anti-heroic ‘lone wolf’ type. Though, the Sonic The Hedgehog 2 after credits suggests that he’s even older than Sonic himself.
