After Sonic does a mistake that causes his reality to shatter, he must go on an adventure of redemption and self-discovery to save the friends he once took for granted. He quickly learns that these new worlds and its inhabitants are not as friendly as his usual friends, but that doesn't stop the energetic and charismatic hedgehog to try and befriend them. Sonic also needs to befriend his old rival Shadow once again, which proves to be a difficult task.

In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (film series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' film series produced by [[Paramount Pictures]] and its spin-offs, Sonic is an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog from [[Mobius (Paramount)|Mobius]] who was born with immense powers that are desired by many people. He lived with his parental figure, [[Longclaw]], until he was forced to leave his home planet to go to planet [[Earth (Paramount)|Earth]]. He lived hidden from the society for ten years, until he was forced to leave his home again, since he was wanted by [[Doctor Robotnik (Paramount)|Dr. Robotnik]]. Trying to escape, Sonic hid in [[Tom Wachowski]]'s garage, but is discovered and shot by a soothing dart from the police officer, causing him to lose his [[Ring (Paramount)|Rings]], his only way to escape. Both had to recover the Rings and escape from the evil Robotnik, who wished to obtain Sonic's powers to conquer the world, but Sonic heroically defeats Robotnik and banishes him into the [[Mushroom Planet]] and resettled in Green Hills with the Wachowski family. Later, Sonic found himself in a race to recover the [[Master Emerald (Paramount)|Master Emerald]] with his newfound partner [[Miles "Tails" Prower (Paramount)|Tails]] before it fell into the hands of Robotnik and [[Knuckles the Echidna (Paramount)|Knuckles the Echidna]]. Later teaming up with Knuckles as well, Sonic managed to defeat Robotnik and began to swore to protect the Master Emerald with Tails and Knuckles while they resided with him and the Wachowskis.

In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW comic series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comic series and its spin-offs published by [[IDW Publishing]], Sonic's past is virtually identical to his video game counterpart's, up until after the events of ''[[Sonic Forces]]''. After the [[Eggman War]], Sonic traveled the world to destroy the remaining [[Badniks]], who had been left directionless following [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]]'s disappearance. It later turns out that Eggman had lost his memory, and that [[Neo Metal Sonic]] had taken control of [[Eggman Empire]]. Together with his friends, Sonic defeated Metal Sonic, but let him go, convinced that without Eggman, he would be harmless. Sometime later, Sonic became infected with the [[Metal Virus]], a [[Zombot]]-producing virus created by Eggman, who had his memories restored by [[Doctor Starline|Dr. Starline]]. In spite of the incoming pandemic, Sonic managed to cure himself and save the world from the [[Deadly Six]]'s attempt to use the Zombot hordes to destroy the world, but he had to join forces with his enemies to succeed. In the aftermath, Sonic went missing for a while by accidentally ending up in [[Sol Dimension|Blaze's dimension]]. However, he returned in time to save his friends from Eggman. Over the next period, Sonic would clash with Dr. Starline, Eggman, and the Deadly Six.
