Metal Sonic (Japanese: メタルソニック, Hepburn: Metaru Sonikku) is a character from Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. He is a Badnik model built by Doctor Eggman, modeled after Sonic the Hedgehog. He possesses great strength, including a laser cannon, a jet engine and a force field device he can use to protect himself from projectiles and certain attacks. He usually only communicates with a series of electronic noises.
Metal Sonic debuted in Sonic the Hedgehog CD (1993) as one of the antagonists.
Conception and creation
[edit]During the development of Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Naoto Ohshima wanted to introduce a new rival for Sonic. Kazuyuki Hoshino conceived Metal Sonic's design.[1]
Appearances
[edit]Video games
[edit]Metal Sonic's debut is in Sonic the Hedgehog CD. He is given orders to go back in time and change the past so that Doctor Eggman can rule the future. Sonic must race him in Stardust Speedway to retrieve Amy Rose. He is severely wounded when he crashes and falls, but is rejuvenated by Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, only to be defeated again in a similar style. He returns in Knuckles' Chaotix, where he attempts to obtain the Chaos Rings, but he is stopped by the Chaotix team. Metal Sonic notably acted as the main antagonist in Sonic Heroes, appearing in a new form as Neo Metal Sonic before transforming into the game's final boss, the Metal Overlord. Upon being defeated by Super Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, he reverts to his traditional appearance.
Metal Sonic appears as a bonus playable character in Sonic Rivals, reprogrammed to aid Eggman Nega in his attempt to take over the world. He returns as a playable character in Sonic Rivals 2, under orders from Eggman to aid Shadow in stopping Eggman Nega's plans. In Sonic Free Riders, Metal Sonic is a playable character and the final opponent in the game's story mode. In Sonic Generations, he appears in his classic form as a rival boss, battling Classic Sonic in Stardust Speedway before ultimately being destroyed. In the 2024 remaster Sonic X Shadow Generations, his Metal Overlord form returns as a boss that Shadow battles. Metal Sonic returns as a boss character in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, and the Sonic story mode of Lego Dimensions.
Metal Sonic appeared as a playable character in the multiplayer mode of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, as well as Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, and all the Mario & Sonic titles beginning with Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. Collecting all the emblems in Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut unlocks Metal Sonic as a bonus playable character in Sonic's stages, and purchasing both episodes of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I unlocks bonus levels in which Metal Sonic is playable.
In other media

[edit]Metal Sonic serves as the main antagonist in the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA, where Eggman records Sonic's abilities and uploads them to Metal Sonic, who proceeds in attempting to destroy the world before being tossed into lava by Sonic. He appears in the Sonic Boom episodes, "It Wasn't Me, It Was the One-Armed Hedgehog" and "Eggman the Video Game Part 2: The End of the World".
Film
[edit]Multiple Metal Sonics appear in the post-credits scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024).[2][3] Furthermore, Metal Sonic is likely set to appear in Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (2027), alongside Amy Rose.[4]
Reception
[edit]Reception to the character is mostly positive. According to a poll on Sega of Japan's website, Metal Sonic is the most popular villain in the series, and the second most wanted character for future appearances, beaten only by Shadow the Hedgehog.[5] GameDaily placed Metal Sonic 13th on their "Top 25 Video Game Robots" list, describing him as Dr. Robotnik's "greatest creation" and praising the strength of his abilities.[6] A Metal Sonic vinyl statue produced by Jazwares was distributed at Comic-Con 2009 for $17.[7] IGN's Tal Blevins referred to him as "a Sonic cyborg twin just to piss you off."[8]
