Sonic the Hedgehog is the protagonist of the franchise of the same name. He is Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik's archrival. He is Tails' friend and Robotnik's enemy, but also battled Metal Sonic in the past in Meet Metal Sonic. He appears regularly In Dorkly's animations about his series.
He is very down to Earth and spends his days saving the animals from Robotnik. He will call out others for their faults.
After many years of saving the animals and fighting for freedom, he gets tired of it, and would rather pursue other things (seen easily in The Best Part Of Sonic Games Is The Music).
He doesn't like any of his friends that he considers dumb and sub-par.
Role in Old Man Sonic[]
He tried to break the world record for the fastest hedgehog, but i doing so, he kills Espio, Big, Blaze, Vector, and Nack, and cripples Cream. After witnessing this, he swears to never run again. After the invasion of the fan characters, he became indentured to Mpreg Greg, and has trouble paying him. Tails approaches him and asks him to help him deliver some used socks. Along the way, they saved HateMyDad_420 from the diaper demons. He and Tails discovered they were lured into a trap by Original Design Movie Sonic, to be killed. Tails convinces Sonic to overcome his past trauma and run fast again and kill Movie Sonic.

Deaths[]
Sonic has the impressive feat of having died in several (almost all) of Dorkly's and Lowbrow Studios' sketches he has appeared in:
- Tails Can't Die: Apparently died of old age at the end of the video, alongside Tails' supposed family and Knuckles.
- Meet Metal Sonic: Accidentally shot in the head by Tails, as the gun's bullet ricocheted off Metal Sonic.
- Sonic Gets Engaged: Hurt by Eggman's car, causing him to lose a life.
- Sonic Frees the Forest Animals: Mauled by a bear (guess he was too slow).
- Power-Up Mix-Up (Part 3): Tried shooting Eggman's Eggmobile and the bullet ricocheted and hit him in the head.
- What Happens When Videogames Mix Up Their Power-Ups: Upon seeing how terrible parts of his future will be (Meeting Big the Cat, kissing Princess Elise in Sonic '06, and the negative reception of the first two Sonic Boom games), the horrified Blue Blur commits suicide by jumping into spikes.
- If Dr. Robotnik Had An Assistant: Eggman used the power of the Chaos Emeralds to melt Sonic's head, leaving it a skeleton.
- If Videogames Were 11% More Realistic: Apparently tried eating gold rings and got intoxicated.
- If Videogames Were 22% More Realistic: Accidentally decapitated by Tails's tails.
- If Bowser and Robotnik Switched Places: Tried hitting Bowser with his spin attack but Bowser simply turned his back, causing the Blue Blur to get stabbed by the spikes in Bowser's shell.
- Sonic, Lord of the Rats: Sonic caught the bubonic plaque from being bitten by a rat king.
- The Smartest Video Games Bosses: Gets run over by a random guy in a truck; it was planned out by Robotnik. He even explains to Tails that hedgehogs, in real life, die from being run over often.
Trivia[]
- Sonic didn’t have his Sonic For Hire Voice Actor (Michael William) in the Dorkly shorts until 2014
