Here’s a feature on Sonic the Hedgehog, the iconic protagonist of the popular game franchise, as expressed in Scratch games.

Sonic the Hedgehog burst onto the scene in 1991, and even after 30 years, he remains incredibly popular. Sonic is a kind and cool hedgehog who is committed to justice.

Exploring the appeal of Sonic the Hedgehog!

Sonic the Hedgehog is a series of action games developed by Sega. The objective of the game is for players to control Sonic, a supersonic hedgehog, and race through stages. The game’s appeal lies in its exhilarating speed, jumping actions, and diverse stages.

Firstly, one of Sonic the Hedgehog’s most appealing aspects is its speed. Players can dash Sonic at supersonic speeds, avoiding enemies while racing through stages. The stage designs emphasize speed, allowing players to leap over obstacles, slide, and use homing attacks to defeat enemies.

Jumping actions are also a significant attraction in Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic can jump while dashing and perform a spin attack in mid-air. Furthermore, stages include items such as springboards and jump pads that offer various jumping options.

Moreover, Sonic the Hedgehog’s stages are diverse, with various themes and difficulty levels. Players can explore different worlds, including jungles, ice caves, and even space stations. There may be hidden items or secret routes in each stage, providing a high replay value.

To express Sonic the Hedgehog in Scratch, one must first understand the game’s essential elements and develop programming skills to recreate it. Replicating Sonic’s dash, jump, and item collection is necessary to produce diverse stages. Additionally, incorporating original characters, stages, and music can create a more enjoyable game. Let’s take a look at how other Scratchers express Sonic the Hedgehog’s appeal through their games!

This Scratch project does an incredibly authentic job replicating Sonic's movements! The most impressive part is the terrain detection system. The way the character rotates with slopes and stops when hitting walls is spot-on.

The key is how they've combined coordinate calculations with physics. By cleverly using velocity variables to express momentum, the acceleration, deceleration, and spin dash all feel remarkably realistic. What's particularly clever is how speed decreases when climbing slopes and increases when going downhill. By manipulating variables that combine direction and velocity, they've achieved natural movement across terrain at any angle.

The attention to detail is outstanding - from the charge-up function of the spin dash to the rotating attack after jumping. Everything is meticulously crafted!

Using the arrow keys on your computer makes the game incredibly easy to operate. It's amazing that you can now play Sonic, which was previously available only on video game consoles, on your computer! There are several characters to choose from, and you can also select different stages. It's enjoyable to progress through various stages with different characters. I think this game can be enjoyed by everyone, from kindergarteners to adults. The music and background reminded me of the atmosphere of old video game consoles.

Sonic the Hedgehog is the main character in this side-scrolling game. The background music has a really good beat and you can play at a high pace in-sync with the speed and rhythm of the music. The target of the game is to reach the goal by collecting coins and blowing up enemies. There are three stages, but they are all short stages, so it's not that difficult to finish them. You can rotate while jumping to blow away enemies. The atmosphere of the game is well made and the level of reproduction is high. Press the spacebar on the first screen. On the next screen, click on the stage to select your stage.

If you love Mario and Sonic, you should definitely give this game a try. In this game, you control Sonic as you collect scattered rings throughout the levels. While collecting rings, make sure to avoid running into characters like Mario and Luigi who are riding in carts. The controls are simple – just use the arrow keys to move around. With so many rings to collect, I found myself completely absorbed in the game.
