{{nihongo|'''''Sonic the Hedgehog'''''|ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ|Sonikku za Hejjihoggu}} is a Japanese video game franchise created and owned by [[Sega]]. The franchise was created mainly by the company's Japanese developers; [[Yuji Naka]], [[Naoto Ohshima]] and [[Hirokazu Yasuhara]], to compete in entertainment, specifically the video game market. The mainline games are platformers mostly developed by [[Sonic Team]]; spin-off games, often outsourced to other studios, encompass a variety of other genres. The series also includes printed media, animations, films, and merchandise.


The series started in 1991 with the release of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' on the [[Sega Mega Drive|Sega Mega Drive/Genesis]], to provide Sega with a mascot to compete with [[Nintendo]]'s [[Mario]]. The success of the game was responsible for turning Sega into a leading video game company during the early 1990s. The next few mainline games were developed by [[Sega Technical Institute]], and a number of spin-offs were released for the [[Sega Master System]] and [[Sega Game Gear|Game Gear]]. Following a hiatus during the [[Sega Saturn]] era, the first major 3D ''Sonic'' game, ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', was released in 1998. In 2001, Sega exited the console market and shifted to third-party development, with the series being continued on Nintendo, [[Microsoft|Xbox]] and [[Sony Interactive Entertainment|PlayStation]] consoles.{{HeadingA|Helping out}}To write a new article, just enter the article title in the box below.
