Appearanceĭescribed as having rugged good looks, Sonic is an anthropomorphic hedgehog with blue fur covering most of his body, and peach skin that covers his muzzle, insides of his ears and front torso.
While his following design was nearly identical to his main series counterpart, he eventually received blue arms and additional spikes to differentiate the two hedgehogs. He especially got sports tape around his feet to emphasize that his specialty was speed. The sports tape Sonic wears is inspired by fighters and American football players and is meant to give him a sense of practical heroism by showing that he is not vain, which is a trait more fitting for villains, when saving the world and to give him a more grounded approach. According to Bob Rafei, Sonic's scarf is partially based on Nathan Drake's scarf from Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. They settled with giving Sonic a neckerchief because it paid homage to the classic adventure theme and was an action adventure trope which fit with Sonic's game character role while emphasizing his "get-up and get-go" attitude and his love for adventure.
