- —Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog is the main protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He appeared in the 13th episode of Death Battle, Mario VS Sonic, as well as the revisit in the 100th episode, where he fought against Mario from the Super Mario series.
History
On Earth, a blue hedgehog named Sonic was born on Christmas Island and was gifted with incredible superhuman speed, allowing him to move fast enough to break the sound barrier. In his adolescence, Sonic decided to leave his home to seek adventure across the world and eventually got involved in various conflicts with the mad scientist Doctor Robotnik, better known as "Eggman", who was focused on converting all the animals in the world into robots for his "Eggman Empire". Since then, Sonic has spent most of his life thwarting Eggman's schemes to prevent his entire world from being roboticized. It wouldn't just be Eggman, though, as Sonic has even faced entities that could warp time and space. With his speed, quick thinking, sheer-dare attitude, and ability to tap into the legendary Chaos Emeralds, Sonic has proven his competence as a hero several times and shows no signs of slowing down either.

Cameo Appearances
Sonic makes a small cameo appearance in the beginning of Chuck Norris VS Segata Sanshiro, as he can be seen in a Sega Saturn ad for Sonic R.
Sonic made a cameo in the episode Amy Rose VS Ramona Flowers. He dashes into Leo's Palace to evade his stalker Amy, unintentionally knocking over Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers and starting the fight between Amy and Ramona. After Amy defeats Ramona, she finds Sonic in the building and starts chasing him again.
Sonic makes a minor cameo appearance in Korra VS Storm, as his silhouette can be seen among other Death Battle losers in the Fog of Lost Souls.
DBX
Sonic made a cameo appearance in the 54th episode of DBX, Amy VS Sakura, where he bumped into Sakura before the battle started.
He later made another cameo appearance in the 76th episode and Season 4 Finale of DBX, Batman VS Iron Man, where he can be seen in the crowd during the auction.
Death Race
Sonic appeared in the Season 1 Finale of Death Race, where he competed in his Speed Star from the Sonic and All-Stars Racing series against Captain Falcon in his Blue Falcon from the F-Zero series, his Death Battle opponent Mario in his Standard Kart, Doc Brown in his DeLorean from the Back to the Future series, Takumi Fujiwara in his Toyota AE86 from the Initial D series, and a Scout Trooper on a Speeder Bike from the Star Wars series.
He was knocked off the track at the beginning of the race when Mario used a Bullet Bill, but returned later on in the Speed Star's plane mode, knocking Captain Falcon off the track. He then tried taking Mario out with a Spiny Shell, but due to Mario accidentally taking himself out with a Bob-omb that Sonic avoided, the Spiny Shell then targeted Sonic and exploded on him, resulting in him being the fourth racer eliminated.
