Backstory

Art by Wanipop 
A blue hedgehog born on Christmas Island, who was gifted with unnatural speed.  In his adolescence he left his home in sight of adventure across the world and eventually found himself embroiled in various conflicts with a maleficent scientist called Dr. Ivo Robotnik (also known as Eggman). He’s spent most of his life since their initial encounter stopping said scientists from achieving world domination, all the while dealing with side threats from other villains along the way. In many continuities Sonic tends to gain a cache of allies and friends to help him, often times being referred to as the “freedom fighters”.

Personality wise Sonic has a fairly cocky 90s “tude” personality, with some sprinkles of a more worldly nature due to his continental travels. He also has the attitude of a big bother mentor to many of the characters in his cast, particularly Tails.

Equipment

Sneakers
Power sneakers
The standard shoes Sonic wears in every game and most of the spin offs. Their origins aren’t highly explained, but in several continuities they were either invented by Eggman (ironically) or Sonic’s uncle chuck using power rings. A character named Alberto also invented and gave Sonic a pair of customizable power sneakers in sonic 06. Whatever the case they are highly resistant to friction and never wear out, making them imperative for Sonic to use his speed to the fullest.

-Sonic mentioning Chuck having made his shoes in Archie http://i.imgur.com/u7iZzeT.jpg

Hover shoes
Shoes that allow Sonic to hover in midair. Useful for when Sonic needs to fight near water as they keep him from sinking. Chris Thorndike invented them, and normally gave Sonic access to these shoes as needed in sonic x season 3.

-Chris shooting the shoes onto Sonic’s feet in X ep 55 https://youtu.be/_U5If8ICZTs?t=1038

In various outside media like Satam, Sonic X and Archie Sonic, he can also harness their power to temporarily enhance his physical abilities and speed. They also have some healing properties, being used to undo brainwashing on occasion in Satam or being able to prevent death from most attacks from a gameplay perspective.

-Ring are often implied to be connected to or created by chaos energy in some cannons.

-An example of Sonic using one to run faster in Satam ep 1 https://youtu.be/V7RxTGYEJlc?t=964

Chaos emeralds
A set of mystical objects that are said to grant near infinite power through the use of “chaos energy”. They can often be found hidden in alternate pocket dimensions known as special zones, and are said to turn the thoughts of the user into power. Depending on the types of thoughts and motivations of their user, they will generate either positive or negative energy. Sonic typically uses the positive energy of the chaos emeralds as a means of transforming into a more powerful state called a "super form". They scatter like dragon balls if all 7 are collected and used at the same time.

-Tikal talking about how the emeralds turn thoughts into power in Sonic adventure https://youtu.be/-35agD2dLDQ?t=1023

-The emeralds also apparently have some degree of sapience, allowing them to converse or guide characters to their position if they truly need them. This is probably why Sonic could call them back when they had already been used in games like Sonic Advanced 3 https://youtu.be/28jdAJZUVPA?t=16 

Super emeralds
Enhanced versions of the chaos emeralds. They have additional power due to drawing power form the master emerald, another sacred gem that was created by the gods for the purpose of being able to regulate the chaos emeralds powers. They can only be unlocked in a linked Sonic 3 and knuckles game.

-Sonic having got all Super emeralds in S3K https://youtu.be/m4nKTceiL_o?t=744

-For the record the master emerald also has some form of sapience and has appeared to the characters when needed(Sonic battle for example).

Time stones
A set of mystical stones found on little planet in Sonic CD. They have control over time and space, and can be used to freely travel through time in some continuities.

-Sonic and sally using the time stones in Satam https://youtu.be/V-GCKlWzTVs?t=637

Various gems that can be equipped to Sonic’s shoes to grant him special abilities in Sonic 06. Sonic has several different colors including Green, Red, Blue, White, Sky, Yellow and Purple.

Medallion
A Magical medallion that transforms into a guitar capable of producing lasers in Sonic underground. It can also nullify the effects of mind control temporarily. It can run out of energy and revert back to its medallion form if overused.

Enerbeam
A device used in the Sonic boom games and cartoon. It’s basically an energy tethering device. In rise of lyric the devices where originally a set of energy shackles Tails modified for personal use, though by the end of said game he replicated their technology in wrist mounted communication bracelets. 

Those bracelets are what appear most often in the other Sonic boom media.

-They can be used to lasso and throw enemies: https://youtu.be/4PlkeATWQ88?t=1534

-Cartoon shows they can latch onto objects as a tether. You can also do this to specific objects in the games: https://youtu.be/nOJ1hl26F5M?t=44

-Sonic using it to wrap up an opponent in boom s2 ep 1 https://youtu.be/TthLQImy2Pc?t=582

 -They can be used to disarm opponents of shields. Logically I would think being able to do the same with handheld weapons is reasonable as well.

-You can see Tails modifying the original shackles here: https://youtu.be/4PlkeATWQ88?t=1503

Extreme gear
Flying hover boards, skates, scooters and other objects used by Sonic and co as a means for transportation, typically in the Sonic riders series. Sonic can use multiple types of gear but his exclusive set is the blue star, a hover board type gear.

They typically use air as a fuel source, and are capable of gliding maneuvers called the air ride and wind tunnel/surfing abilities called the air slide. Users can also use fuel from the machine to create tornadoes behind them. They can also create short bursts of speed at the expense of air, with a maneuver called the “kick dash”.

-Example of the Air ride https://youtu.be/j3bD5ekhWFw?t=112

Ark of the cosmos/ gravity band
Ring shaped stones that allow the user to manipulate gravity. They were used in the second Sonic riders game in conjunction with extreme gear to enhance movement ability. Particularly to warp gravity and propel users forward with a move called gravity dive. As well as allowing them to make sharp sudden gravity assisted turns and redirect gravity to other surfaces to run on them(think Mario kart 8).

-Sonic using an ark’s power to stop gravity in mid air https://youtu.be/8f1HLqZSFn0?t=130

-Sonic using the gravity dive ability https://youtu.be/AiGaN7TCC_I?t=373

-Sonic using gravity to change direction during a sharp turn https://youtu.be/-i0b7d8rKB4?t=59

-While the ark’s of the cosmos were lost at the end of zero gravity, items called gravity bands also existed within said game, and provided the exact same effects.

Shara’s ring
A magic ring given to Sonic by the genie Shara in Sonic and the secrete rings. It allows him to draw upon her magic to perform certain special attacks and utilize “soul energy” in said game.

-Caliburn can dispel powers of immortality regulated “Excalibur’s scabbard” in the black knight, when combined with several other sacred swords. It’s possible it could also have the ability to dispel immortality in general, though this isn’t clear https://youtu.be/qra_prvwKIQ?t=331 and https://youtu.be/qra_prvwKIQ?t=1099

Sonic chronicles equipment
Sonic can equip various types of equipment in the game Sonic chronicles. They typically correlate to one for the feet, one for the hands and one for the neck. Some of Sonic’s best possible equipment includes.

Chaos control
The ability to bend time and space or empower oneself with the aid of a chaos emerald. The more chaos emeralds a character has the more enhanced the ability to use chaos control will be. Sonic first learned how to perform the ability after watching Shadow do it in Sonic adventure 2.

Teleportation
The main use of chaos control is to teleport either the user and or an object through space. The applications of this ability are pretty much limitless when the user has all seven chaos emeralds, with Sonic and co regularly crossing dimensions with it and with Sonic himself once sending the chaos emeralds across a galaxy with it in Sonic X.

-Sonic first using chaos control to escape a trap in SA2: https://youtu.be/XB1PO0ch3JI?t=110

-Sonic will also use chaos control to get back on stage if you fight him as Shadow in SA2 during the final boss.

-Sending the chaos emeralds across the galaxy in x ep 53 https://youtu.be/bF8oZTXnYPA?t=64

Time stop
The ability to stop time through chaos control. Sonic has not used this ability in story, but it was implied he knew how to invoke this power at the end of Sonic X(where he was about to time stop an explosion, but had shadow beat him to it). He does have a “time stop” ability in SA2s multiplayer for the matter. It stops time for about 10 seconds.

-Sonic stopping time in SA2: https://youtu.be/CI_d2gkDUKY?t=18

Time travel
Chaos control can also be used as a means of time travel. However traveling through time requires the use of multiple emeralds from more than one user using chaos control at an intersecting point. Sonic used this ability mainly with the help of characters silver or shadow in Sonic 06.

-Using it in Sonic 06 to go back in time to save Princess Elise https://youtu.be/olgZyoZvnfs?t=823

Reality warping
The chaos emeralds under specific circumstances can warp the fabric of reality, allowing for a person or machine to re-write entire histories and memories. This has really only been elaborated on in Archie, where Eggman could use the emeralds power to create a chaos energy based “genesis wave” or “super genesis wave”. The former which used one chaos emerald and could temporarily alter the reality of a universe. The later which used all 7 and could permanently alter the fabric of a multiverse with no limits.

-Eggman explaining it in Archie 251 http://i.imgur.com/9ZnRy9p.jpg

In Archie this power has typically been technologically based, and there’s been very little evidence that Sonic himself can perfectly re-create the facets of an ENTIRE genesis wave on his own(nor has he ever actually applied such an ability to combat). That being said he has used Chaos control once to undo the effects of a genesis wave and travel back in time a  few seconds to save a friend in is 229 http://i.imgur.com/4502cP2.jpg

He also did this another time in the worlds collide crossover arch to undo a super genesis wave(albeit Eggman interrupted him part way through, which caused the genesis wave to fail and for the multiverse to collapse) http://i.imgur.com/1g9pjky.jpg

In the two above cases it is very likely Sonic used chaos control to more or less hijack the effects of the genesis wave for his own purpose.  That being said it was implied Sonic can use chaos control on his own to affect reality in the worlds unite crossover, as he and Megaman attempted to use it to fix damage Sigma had done to reality due to over use of "genesis portals". Albeit it very clearly doesn’t have “no limits” given their attempt actually failed http://i.imgur.com/kEk2h2v.jpg

INTERESTINGLY (the rabbit hole goes even deeper folks) having the power of all the chaos emeralds does give characters reality warping abilities in Sonic the Comic. Albeit the version of Super Sonic in that comic never displayed those abilities.

-Eggman after having absorbed the power of the chaos emeralds, reshaped reality so that he ruled and Sonic was never born http://i.imgur.com/z3RLPyc.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/lBwswCz.jpg

-Perfect chaos also had reality warping powers after getting all the chaos emeralds in issue 183 http://i.imgur.com/aMRFgOR.jpg

-On another note the chaos emeralds were capable of reviving Sonic from the dead at the end of 06. 

Custom actions
Various exclusive moves you can use as Sonic in Sonic 06. The original intention may have been for their use to be limited by some sort of gauge, but due to the shoddy and incomplete programming of Sonic 06 you can use them all without limit.

Thunder guard
A move that can manually produce a thunder shield, which attracts rings and protects the user from attacks. If the shield gets destroyed, Sonic can conjure another.

-Sonic using it in S06: https://youtu.be/MQK4cG3EkWk?t=259

Homing smash
A move that allows Sonic to stop in midair during a homing jump, before resuming. Useful for preventing collisions.

-Sonic using it in S06: https://youtu.be/MQK4cG3EkWk?t=206

Gun drive
Sonic throws a gem, which he can then chase after through the air, allowing him to reach new places.

-Sonic using it in S06: https://youtu.be/MQK4cG3EkWk?t=168

Slow
An ability that slows down time around Sonic. Useful for outmaneuvering opponents.

-Sonic using it in S06: https://youtu.be/MQK4cG3EkWk?t=54   

Scale
An ability that Shrinks Sonic to a small size making him a harder target to hit. Also lets him jump indefinitely. It would also probably be useful for hiding and fitting in tight spaces as well.

Mach speed
An ability that gives sonic a quick boost of speed.

-Sonic using it in S06: https://youtu.be/_NnVsrlEjwQ?t=60

Storybook series moves
Soul energy/gauge
Soul energy is a gameplay mechanic present in the secrete rings and the black knight. Soul is some sort of ethereal energy source Sonic could gather by collecting pearls, fairies, defeating enemies, or a few other misc methods. Sonic can then put this “soul” energy towards certain special abilities specific to the storybook series games.

Speed break
An ability that utilizes soul energy to temporarily increase Sonic’s speed. Sonic will run so fast the air around him will be set on fire.

-Using it in secrete rings gameplay: https://youtu.be/qAUZRbjN5Tg?t=382 

-Him using it in a cut scene of the secrete rings https://youtu.be/SgAWL-qNPOw?t=1756

Time break
An ability that uses soul energy to slow down the flow of time, giving Sonic extra time to react to his environment. It was first introduced in the secrete rings, but the ability also appeared as a skill in Sonic generations outside the storybook series soul mechanics.

-Sonic’s movements also slow, down making this skill better for reacting to danger.

-Sonic using it in the secrete rings: https://youtu.be/qAUZRbjN5Tg?t=461

Soul surge
An ability that uses soul energy to perform a powerful Dash or physical attack.

-Being used in Sonic and the black knight: https://youtu.be/j3901xwJzrk?t=57 

Skills
Equipable upgrades found in games like the secrete rings, the black knight and generations. For the most part they just increase or alter certain stats/parameters of Sonic’s abilities. A few also let him equip certain power-ups as freely usable abilities, particularly the shield, bubble shield, fire shield, lighting shield, speed sneakers, ring time, and a skateboard/snowboard. A version of time break can also be equipped as a skill.

-You can see a list of skills here http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Skills

Misc. Sonic battle attacks
 Sonic battle is home to various physical attacks, like kicks, punches and so forth. Many of them are partially inspired by breakdancing moves.

Speed transferring
Sonic can apparently transfer his speed to objects to an extent. For example in Sonic generation he can transfer his speed into mine cart, to cause them to move faster.

-Using it on a cart in SG: https://youtu.be/Bpzx24qV2_w?t=221

Quill sensing
It was very briefly noted in Sonic and the secrete rings that Sonic’s quills tingle a bit before impending danger.

-Him noticing an attack with his quills right before it happens in secrete rings https://youtu.be/sY5RxikZces?t=122

Mind control resistance
Sonic has on occasion displayed some varying levels of resistance against both passive and direct mind control.

-Resisting the control of a mind control machine in Sonic the comic is 17 http://i.imgur.com/afCxGq5.jpg

-He also tapped into the power of the master emerald in Archie 184, despite it having a mind control hex on it http://i.imgur.com/04xkQpf.jpg

-It was stated to have a will strong enough to resist the corruptive influences of Dark gia energy in Sonic unleashed https://youtu.be/5Bdtv9PfPvs?t=2358

-He also resisted control from the over mind in Sonic chronicles, albeit he had some light protection at the time.

-Sonic can be mind controlled to moderate success by Ifrit in Sonic rivals 2 however, so he’s not completely immune to mind control.

Vibrational phasing
Sonic can in some situations vibrate his molecules to phase through objects.

-Vibrating through a dome in Archie is 119 http://i.imgur.com/2kQccJ0.jpg

Tornado/twister creation
Outside of specialized techniques, Sonic has also used his speed to make tornados as an attack in several other forms of media. For example

-Created a tornado and threw the people with it in adventures ep 4 https://youtu.be/cwU503Qq1c0?t=716

-Making a tornado in adventures ep 7 https://youtu.be/vVpoe8HZByg?t=395

-Making a water vortex in Sonic the comic is 118 http://i.imgur.com/RJYQGbf.jpg  

Tunneling
Sonic can use his spin dash and speed to tunnel through the ground in several canons. This gives him a fair bit a maneuverability, and allows him to avoid attacks or outmaneuver opponents.

-Tunneling through a wall in satam ep 6 https://youtu.be/WoddvX_btFg?t=576

Swimming
wait what!

Sonic is incapable of swimming………..except when he can in some continuities.

-Sonic swimming in ep 11 of Satam https://youtu.be/EMsASlV2mHc?t=1091

-Sonic having swam a least a bit in X ep 9 to save Amy https://youtu.be/ZcYxdLTcGvA?t=1097

-Amy explicitly saying Sonic had been getting tutored in swimming in x comic is 11 http://i.imgur.com/RovODlC.jpg

-For that matter the scan I’m using as the header for this section also outright says Sonic can swim in the X comic.

-Early Archie Sonic could also swim

-Sonic swimming in adventures ep 26 https://youtu.be/EbhQdTcs124?t=308

-Swimming in adventures ep 35 https://youtu.be/vgq3O40B_Zo?t=641

-Sonic in Sonic the comic is 127 mentioned he eventually learned how to swim http://i.imgur.com/yRCcX2j.jpg

-Sonic says he can’t swim in Sonic underground, but in Ep 9 he splash around a little to move a few feat https://youtu.be/3iYFKDLfW1E?t=948

-On another note even in the main games not being able to swim has been AVERTED to an extent as of sonic colors. In Sonic colors Sonic can use his spin jump indefinitely underwater, allowing him to move around freely in it and get out if he needs to. It’s not traditional swimming by any stretch, but it gets the job done. https://youtu.be/Bm39dsogvvE?t=110

-Sonic does have a fear of water in some canons like modern Archie http://i.imgur.com/FoLnod4.jpg

And Sonic X

The only well-known continuities where Sonic seemingly cannot swim at least a little is Sonic boom, post-gen Archie and the Ova.

Misc abilities
Sonic could use his quills as a parachute in adventures ep 46 https://youtu.be/U2cUlR1kwA0?t=439

Could spin fast enough to become invisible in Archie http://i.imgur.com/dYARG3Z.jpg

Eggman theorized sonic had absorbed so much chaos energy that he became an “embodiment of
chaos” impossible to plan against normally in Archie  http://i.imgur.com/SWaUL4N.jpg

Pretty much has his own version of the after image technique in the special version of Archie is 50 http://i.imgur.com/qz7U43X.jpg

Sonic has had some 4th wall awareness in some media like Archie http://i.imgur.com/DG6Ee0w.jpg and some light toon force in some media as well http://i.imgur.com/PwdKcJT.jpg

Sonic in the adventures cartoon was also prone to wearing outfits and disguises, then playing a façade to trick opponents. Somewhat similar to bugs bunny http://i.imgur.com/4Ojbbl5.png

Color power
Color power is a series of states and abilities Sonic can take on by absorbing the “hyper-go-on” energy from a species of alien lifeforms called wisps. Said wisps temporarily (and voluntarily) merge with Sonic giving him this power. In game they tend to be found trapped in capsules, though canonically the wisps can come to Sonic himself to give him help if they so choose. Color powers function more along the line of power-ups and have incredibly short time span for use once activated, so how much it veers on the side of outside help is up for debate. There are also many different colors of wisp correlating to the different powers they provide. White wisps are considered the standard, and just fill Sonic's boost meter in Sonic colors. The rest of the color powers are listed below.

Black Bomb
The black bomb is gained when Sonic absorbs the black wisp.It transforms Sonic into a large bomb that increases in size as he rolls over enemies. When the timer is about to run out, the bomb will cause an explosion proportionate to the bombs size.

Blue cube
Uses a blue wisp to give sonic the ability to turn into a large blue cube. The cube can smash into the ground to destroy objects and also sends out a shockwave that can damage opponents from a distance. It will also transform “blue rings” into cube like objects and vice versa, which can be useful for platforming.

Crimson eagle
Uses a crimson wisp to turn Sonic into a red eagle like creature that can fly.

Cyan laser
Gained by absorbing a cyan wisp. Turns Sonic into a living laser that can bounce off opponents to damage them, off walls to reach new areas or travel through special crystals to get to new places. It gets used up right after being activated.

-Using it in SC opening: https://youtu.be/CpacfQ2b3JA?t=49

-Using it in SLW to travel through some crystals: https://youtu.be/-AsH1IZTIhg?t=5

Green hover
Uses a green wisp to become a large floating green object. Can be used to hover through an environment and even has its own version of the light speed dash.

Gray quake
Gained by using a gray wisp. Transforms Sonic into a heavy stone block that can make shockwaves to destroy opponents and scale up walls.

-Being used in SLW3DS: https://youtu.be/1VL-M6qswFo?t=282

Indigo asteroid
Uses an indigo wisp to become a miniature planet like object that uses intense gravity to tear objects and opponents apart. The more objects pulled in the stronger the gravity effect becomes. Can also hover in midair.

-Being used in SLW: https://youtu.be/-AsH1IZTIhg?t=65

Ivory lightning
Uses an Ivory wisp to transform into a living bolt of lightning. Can latch onto objects and electrocute opponents. Can also control sources of electricity.

-Being used in SLW3DS: https://youtu.be/1VL-M6qswFo?t=340

Magenta rhythm
Uses a magenta wisp to become a large music note. The form can bounce in midair off specific bouncing points.

-being used in SLW: https://youtu.be/-AsH1IZTIhg?t=99

Orange rocket
Sonic becomes a rocket like object after absorbing an orange wisp. Allows him to rocket upwards like a rocket. The strength of the upwards movement can harm enemies.

-Being used in SLW: https://youtu.be/-AsH1IZTIhg?t=47

Pink spikes
Uses a pink wisp to become a large spiked ball. Said ball can latch onto and travel along walls, and move along them at high speeds with a spin dash like maneuver.

Purple frenzy
Sonic uses a purple wisp to become a large floating pacman-ish head. Said form has sharp teeth it can use to devour objects in front of it, growing with size as it does so. At maximum size the form can also suck objects to its position through a sort of vacuum breath.

-The purple wisp is a corrupted form of wisp that was created when Eggman experimented on them in sonic colors. All purple wisps transformed back to normal at the end of said game, meaning technically there aren’t any left in the sonic series(most likely).

Red burst
A Red wisp turns Sonic into a ball of fire that can burn opponents and perform additional jumps in the air.

-Sonic using it in SC3DS: https://youtu.be/G8aPT2DYxcI?t=135

-Sonic using it in SLW3DS: https://youtu.be/2Yf-ezzX2IM?t=195

Violet void
Violet wisp turns Sonic into a floating void like object. The form can hover, can absorb nearby objects and enemies, and travel through grate/fan like objects like a gas.

-Being used in SC3DS: https://youtu.be/sJQ8Inm1mtc?t=533

Yellow drill
A Yellow wisp turns sonic into a drill like object, which can drill though the ground,through obstacles and through water.

-Being used in SLW3DS: https://youtu.be/y8S9nA1ljcA?t=18  

-Being used in SLW: https://youtu.be/-AsH1IZTIhg?t=17

Final color blaster
A combination color power that merges multiple wisp powers into a single amped homing attack. The wisps in question are the yellow, cyan, pink, orange, blue, green and purple wisps for sonic colors on Wii. The red, orange, cyan and violet wisp for sonic colors on the ds.

-Being used in SC3DS: https://youtu.be/6bfVVhYykNc?t=497

Combination color powers
In the 2P mode of Sonic colors the player can potentially merge the power of more than one color power together at once to create more powerful variants. Sonic NORMALLY cannot use these himself in the 1p mode, however given he can combine up to 7 wisps at once for an attack during the final boss for the color blaster attack, the potential for him being able to use something like such abilities might exists.

-Some quick examples

Spike + spike: https://youtu.be/KkZn9fOkqDc?t=138

-There’s also a combination orange drill/rocket and hover/hover form.

Transformations
Werehog
A form Sonic gained in sonic unleashed after absorbing large amounts of dark gia energy. The form has enhanced physical strength and his limbs can stretch for the sake of extra reach. It can also enter a slightly more enhanced state of power with “unleashed mode”. The werehog has many physical skills you can read about here http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Skills_(Sonic_Unleashed)

-The form can only be accessed at night and was permanently lost at the end of unleashed.

Hyper mode
A super mode all characters can use in Sonic the fighters. It enhances speed, strength and allows for more powerful special attacks.

-Sonic using hyper mode during the last boss in the fighters https://youtu.be/IqXfZ1aUK3o?t=766

Super Sonic
The traditional sonic super form. Sonic can gain the use of this form after absorbing the power of all 7 chaos emeralds at once. In game Sonic typically requires 50 rings in addition to the chaos emeralds to start the transformation, and burns through said rings at a rate of one ring per second to sustain the form. While in this form Sonic gains a myriad of new abilities, including flight, greatly enhanced physical abilities and enhanced chaos powers. He can be also be described as near invulnerable in this form, though it is possible for a few incredibly strong villains in his series to bypass his defense (Solaris for example).

-In Archie pre-gen Sonic once described this form as making himself “1000x faster”. http://i.imgur.com/QbtgqtD.jpg

-Interestingly having all 7 chaos emeralds was said to have made perfect chaos a 1000x times more powerful as well in Sonic the comic http://i.imgur.com/157f9Mw.jpg

-The above two examples tend to lead to a 1000x stats multiple  for the super form. Though to be clear it’s probably an increase of 1000 fold MINIMUM.

-Sonic mentions the forms heals and give a boost to the user when it ends in Archie pre-gen is 196 http://i.imgur.com/ekI45FT.jpg

-Super Sonic draws power form the positive power of the chaos emeralds.

-Super sonic has no time limit when used as a character in Sonic R https://youtu.be/tf0rBUyh39I?t=32

- Super Sonic has no time limit in unleashed either, and instead has a health bar https://youtu.be/Z8tdRecNDlc?t=551

- In Sonic advanced Sonic showed up as super Sonic several days after first transforming(albeit he probably didn’t fight during that time and what happens during those days isn’t shown)https://youtu.be/mqWiDbIQFv0?t=67

-Sonic has the highest amount of experience with super forms in the Sonic series.

Super sonic boost
An enhanced version of Sonic’s boost ability. It moves faster and surrounds the user in an aura of chaos energy.

Turbo boost
A midair dash of a slower variety than the Sonic boost. Acts similar to a quick step in Sonic unleashed for the wii.

-Being used in S06: https://youtu.be/BSavm5JpCGo?t=137 

Bolt of lightning
A bashing attack where Super Sonic will move so fast he gains a blue aura and becomes a lightning bolt of sorts. Used against perfect chaos in adventure to piece his body and do harm to him.

Arrow of light
A bashing attack used against Solaris in Sonic 06.

Deflect
An ability that allows Super Sonic to project an energy shield from his hands to shield and redirect projectile attacks and objects.

-Using it in the final boss of Sonic rush adventure: https://youtu.be/j4zwjV36iTk?t=730

-Super Sonic could also create an energy shield in Archie is 84 http://i.imgur.com/NZM6BLm.jpg

Super Sonic energy blast
A series of amped homing attacks followed by an energy blasts released from the hands at an opponent. Used during the final fight in Sonic chronicles.

-The attack in Sonic chronicles https://youtu.be/qwnTbJmS5I4?t=379

-Sonic also displayed the ability to shoot small blasts of energy from his hands in x ep 64 https://youtu.be/jmxFRSPNWqo?t=890

Chaos regeneration
A healing ability, which allows Sonic to heal others of their wounds. Seen mainly in Sonic X.

-Using it on Chris Thorndike in x ep 26 https://youtu.be/C-VH4SS4Qcw?t=1102

-Sonic and Shadow attempting to use it on Cosmo in the jap version of x ep 78  https://youtu.be/1kJF_ReN3R4?t=230  

Positive energy aura
Because super sonic uses the positive aspects of the chaos emeralds, it gives Super Sonic a sort of positive friendship aura. This allows him to literally pacify evil creatures by beating the badness out of them and in the Archie comics break dark magic hexes.

-Sonic purifying chaos in Sonic adventure being explained by Tails https://youtu.be/Nv9wXt81xDw?t=1248

-Sonic mentioning trying to use said aura to break a hex on knuckles in Archie is 184 http://i.imgur.com/cmTn9P7.jpg

Intangibility
Sonic briefly displayed the ability to become intangible and phase through objects as Super Sonic in some early issues of Archie sonic.

Hyper Sonic
An enhanced version of Super Sonic that becomes available after upgrading the power of chaos emeralds to Super emeralds with the help of the master emerald in Sonic 3 and Knuckles. The form has all the abilities of Super Sonic, but enhanced. It also functions on similar standards (using ring energy to maintain the form for example).

Hyper flash
Hyper Sonic’s only exclusive ability. It acts as an additional jump and creates a blinding flash/explosion that destroys all enemies on screen in game.

Dark spine Sonic
A super form taken on by absorbing the power of three world rings in Sonic and the secrete rings, specifically the world rings of rage, hatred and sadness. This form allowed Sonic to warp the entire reality of the Arabian nights, although whether said powers would work outside of that world are up for debate. The form can also fly and create infinite soul energy, allowing Sonic to use skills like speed and time break endlessly.

-Dark spine appears to have a fiery aura and pyro-kinetic powers https://youtu.be/VDDKTyNdLBE?t=292

Excalibur Sonic
A super transformation where Sonic will use the power of Excalibur to encase himself in a magical golden armor. The form can fly, has increased physical abilities and can generate soul energy with sword parries. Sonic can channel its power through weapons, and also has an enhanced version of the soul surge attack in it.

Excalibur
A combination of multiple sacred swords and caliburn in Sonic and the black knight. It’s considered the greatest of sacred blades, and its power was awakened by Sonic’s never give up spirit.

Dark super sonic
A dark version of Super Sonic that was taken on in Sonic X after Sonic witnessed some of his friends being tortured and deciding to draw upon the negative power of some nearby fake chaos emeralds. It presumably has the same general powers as the normal Super Sonic form. Sonic’s behavior is more erratic due to the influence of negative chaos energy.

-Sonic using it in X ep 67 https://youtu.be/D0L2ywT_WVo?t=926

Fleetway Super Sonic
The fleetway version of super sonic. It doesn’t function the same way Super Sonic does in most other cannons. In the comic it was typically a form Sonic could take on when in a state of high stress or physical danger. It also caused his personality to change into a more violent and psychopathic character. The form overall had most of the same powers as most contemporary versions of sonic, but could also create laser eye beams and leach the power from other entities.

Ultra Sonic is an alternate super form Sonic can access typically by collecting an absurd amount of power rings Archie comics. The amount needed isn’t clear but according to the Sonic comic encyclopedia but it’s in the hundreds or thousands. Several scans from the issues this form appears in also back up this fact.
The transformation burns out VERY quickly however, with Sonic only being able to hold it long enough to perform a few attacks. It also leaves him drained if he pushes his abilities.

Powers
-Creating portals between dimensions in Free comic book day 2011 pg 21 http://i.imgur.com/Fl7ROIZ.jpg

-Mentally constructing shields of ice in Archie is 66 pg 9 http://i.imgur.com/GMOMroM.jpg  

-Uses powers to construct a shield of granite in Archie is 66 pg 11 http://i.imgur.com/bbHVtfZ.jpg

-Sonic can also gain this form through the use of a super emerald. Said emerald can also alter his form farther based on the environment in Archie is 71 pg 15 http://i.imgur.com/LKfR3XJ.jpg

-Some scans refer to ultra sonic’s abilities as a mastery over atomic particles. 

Vehicles
Cosmo fighter
A space ship used by Sonic in the arcade game cosmo fighter. It’s capable of space travel and equipped with energy guns, homing missiles and rocket fists.


Sonic patrol car
  
A police car Sonic uses in the arcade game waku waku patrol car. It’s pretty much just a normal car.

-You can see it here https://youtu.be/57LLF1BMwDs?t=64

Blue force one
A cabin motorcycle that can ride in places sonic can’t run in Sonic boom. Fairly new with little of its abilities explained.
Cyclone
A sports car similar to a Ferrari, with high speed/acceleration but poor turning. It’s used by Sonic to race in the Sonic drift series. It has the ability to perform a speeding dash.

-Can also gain power ups that allow the car to jump and drop mines respectively http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Jump and http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Mine_(power-up)

Speed star
A convertible car built for Sonic by Tails to be used in the Sonic all-star racing games. It functions like a normal car for the most part (if a bit more powerful), although it can also transform into a boat and into plane for sea/air transport.

-The Sonic all star op gives a decent idea of its abilities: https://youtu.be/GCTOln_V600?t=75

-Can also perform an “all-star” move where the car will produce rings Sonic can use for a light speed dash attack : https://youtu.be/2m_W9j84_NU?t=13

-Can use various kart game like items, you can see them listed here http://forums.sega.com/showthread.php?459637-The-Items-Tips-Strategies-and-Tricks-Topic  and here http://info.sonicretro.org/images/1/10/SaSASR_PS3_UK_manual.pdf#page=12 

Tornado
A bi plane owned by Sonic that was later modified by his friend Tails. The tornado is typically used as a means of air transportation or combat vehicle for air dogfights. It can move faster than the speed of sound and has built in machine guns and homing missiles. It can also perform a boosting maneuver called the tornado boost and has a tether for hauling objects.

Fighting style

Sonic can be described as mobile rush down character, and a bit of a lightning bruiser. Sonic lacks book smarts akin to Tail’s, but he is by no stretch dumb. He tends to be fairly worldly in many of his games and media, gaining great street smarts overtime, and having a lot of experience with a large myriad of opponents. Because of this he is often able to think well on his feet, coming up with clever plans or workarounds mid-fight when he hits a brick wall. His general fighting technique is noted to be a self-taught style somewhat inspired by breakdancing moves. He also learned 3 different types of sword fighting styles in Sonic and the black knight, particularly knight stylepaladin style, and cavalier style.
Weaknesses
Sonic is impulsive, which occasionally leads to him making bad decisions (For example most of the plot of lost world would not have happened if he hadn’t impulsively kicked the conch Eggman used for controlling the zeti out of his hands). He also lacks patience and a more extensive formal education, often causing him to rely on characters like Tails or Sally acorn to study and create more complex plans over long term conflicts. Additionally while he can in fact swim in some continuities and has numerous ways around water, many media like Sonic X and post gen Archie show he has a fear of it. This can occasionally cause him to panic when in deep water, although with the proper motivation he can normally overcome it.

Strength feats summary
In his base Sonic is strong enough to hold onto rockets moving into space at escape velocity speeds. Can kick objects the size as old time computer monitors with enough force to send them out of a planets orbit. Outmuscled robots weighing over 500 tons and destroyed flying fortresses weighing well over 500,000 tons. He’s caused explosions the size of small forests, and once when fighting metal sonic in the Ova helped cause an explosion that dislodged a chunk of earth the size of a mountain.

As super sonic he’s created explosions nearly 9 miles long, as well as explosions the size of cities. He can blow up moons and very likely has planet buster power under his belt bar minimum. Super Sonic has also easily curb stomped monsters like perfect chaos and Dark Gia which are dozens of feet high, and in Chaos’s case had a body that encompassed the whole city of station square.

Endurance summary
In base Sonic has survived atmospheric reentry and falls from space multiple times. He can survived being punched through skyscrapers and getting hit with missiles with little effect.

As super Sonic he can easily survive the pressure of an entire planet on his body, as well as being shot into one with enough force to destroy it. Resist being torn apart on an atomic level and is nigh invulnerable to all but high level gods. He also survived incredibly intense gravity fields on more than one occasion.

Sonic boom
Eggman once used a machine to slow down time for everyone in the environment in ep 38. Sonic however was able to move at normal speed, due to being so fast compared to the time slow.  https://youtu.be/D2UqDrQUo6Y?t=361 In addition all the actions Sonic and Eggman took during the slowdown were apparently too fast for any of the other character to notice. https://youtu.be/D2UqDrQUo6Y?t=514

Sonic underground
More or less seems to be able to run on thin air in ep 9 https://youtu.be/3iYFKDLfW1E?t=720

Sonic’s feet can move so fast they more or less set the air around them on fire in ep 13 https://youtu.be/n0F6_TUQJf0?t=592

Misc
The Sonic bible originally used in the west side of the fandom, does claim Sonic could move at the speed of light in base http://info.sonicretro.org/File:SOA_-_Sonic_Origin_Story_09.png

Super Sonic’s description in smash bros mentions the form being able to go near the speed of light http://www.ssbwiki.com/Super_Sonic

Speed feats summary
Sonic is really really fast. In his base he’s outpaced lighting, has run around the planet in seconds in multiple continuities. Can move at such high speeds he can set the ground or air he walks on fire, and has moved so quickly the world around him has seemed effectively stopped. He also regularly jumps hundreds of feet into the air, and bounds around his environment like his world is a pinball machine.

Additionally his feat of standing in for Santa is very impressive when taken in contex. Having delivered what was described as millions of presents in a few minutes in base. Of course this is likely a lowball as even singular cities in real life have been known to have millions of people in them. There’s also claims of sonic making movements in less femtosecond in base in early Archie, which to put in perspective is only a few steps below an atto second. If you know about the character flash then well. http://www.nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/The+Flash+in+an+attosecond.+Flash+wins+lol_895e5d_4657828.jpg

For the most part Super Sonic has direct speed feats of a similar caliber as the highest ones shown as base sonic, albeit normally with more ease than Sonic typically displays. The form is also supposedly a 1000x faster according to Sonic himself
.
Scaling
After being prematurely awakened in Sonic unleashed, Dark Gia could push away significant portions of the earth’s crust https://youtu.be/mqHxGoFERZw?t=227 Sonic fights him in super form as the final boss of said game.

Interestingly in Archie Chaos was apparently able to hold the entire planets ocean in place http://i.imgur.com/Oh9QDOu.jpg  Sonic’s fight with him as super sonic did occur there http://i.imgur.com/PROPebO.jpg

Knuckles could punch the moon with enough force to be seen from space in sonic X. Sonic has him in X several times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5Dsys9OdtY

Knuckles was able to clip off a significant portion of angle island by punching at a specific fault line in sonic the comic is 44. Sonic has fought him in that series several times http://i.imgur.com/mRYerXy.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/fHpDwFa.jpg

Perfect chaos can easily destroy a city, and Sonic could best him in base in Sonic generations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05PWZxdHIIg

Enerjak in the Archie comics has been able to move islands and sink continents in SU is 27 and  28 http://imgur.com/5vgMVNH and http://imgur.com/oRrgwct  Super sonic has fought this guy.

Fought god sigma with megaman in worlds collide. Sigma had intended to leach power from infinite worlds in said arch . http://i.imgur.com/lrPxVRV.jpg  Granted he never got that far but he still had multiple planets worth of energy during the fight http://i.imgur.com/Ux4eFwZ.png

Knuckles can make a volcano erupt with the force of a punch in the op of Sonic boom https://youtu.be/did9FVs7IVc?t=22 . He was also capable of destroying a huge asteroid mid-flight, that would have devastated his planet(or at least the village where he lives)https://youtu.be/YcYax3G5GPc?t=548  It's made clear knuckles is the physically strongest of the heroes in boom, but it's unlikely Sonic is lagging that far behind.

Probably among one of the more controversial scaling, but one I’ve thought to re-evaluate. Eggman’s final egg blaster in Sonic battle is capable of destroying multiple stars at once. https://youtu.be/EoQ5ThVfgCo?t=331   Some would say this should scale to super Sonic, as the final egg blaster didn’t have the chaos emeralds equipped in it at the time of the blast(and logically they should be more potent than a weapon Eggman can make without them).

Training and experience summary
Sonic has a lot of experience fighting a variety of foes. He’s bested combatants specifically designed to take him down like metal sonic. He’s defeated characters created for the sole purpose of being living weapons like shadow. He’s defeated trained soldiers or guardians, like Blaze and knuckles. He’s fought SEVERAL immortal or long lived beings like the Erazor djinn and mammoth mogul. He’s defeated Ancient monsters capable of wiping out civilizations or worlds like Chaos and Dark Gia. He’s fought intelligent demi-god like beings like Enerjak. Heck he’s fought godlike beings capable of warping reality or destroying entire timelines on multiple occasions, including Solaris and the time eater. Finally he’s also fought various people with entire armies to back them up like Eggman, the Iron dominion, and the nocturnes.

Most impressively is probably his victory over Emerl. Despite having all the chaos emeralds and copying the skills of nearly the entire sonic cast and being a war robot specifically designed for battle, he still lost to sonic when push came to shove.

Misc blog thoughts

I already mentioned some of my thoughts on Archie feats in this blog , but I’ll go over it again here. Some of the feats people bring up from Archie are very questionable. The zone Sonic and Knuckles busted in their super forms was most likely a pocket dimension, Sonic didn’t need to combat the actual power of a black hole to stop the quantum dial, Mammoth mogul was only fought by titans when he gained multiversal power, the ultimate annihilator didn’t hurt sonic because it was sabotaged SPECIFICALLY only to target Robotnik. Characters or forms like Enerjak or chaos knuckles don’t actually have any feats to back up the huge claims about them without comparison to Mammoth. A LOT of feats for Archie Sonic commonly reference are not actually from in story panels, but silly break up comic strips between them.

Now obviously since this is a full composite I’m waving some of my distinguishing between feats done by early Archie Sonic compared to the rest of the publication. That being said the .01 femtosecond thing is way better than using the cosmic interstate for feats regardless of if you make that sort of distinction.

I explained this in the blog, but the cosmic interstate as an area has very inconsistent designs and pathways, so making sense of it's exact size and structure requires a lot of assumptions.There’s also no actual confirmation in story about Sonic’s speed when using it and there are no direct feats him using abnormally high speed while on it. Other characters have also used the cosmic interstate before, so it's harder to say for sure that you really NEED to be able to move incredibly fast to use it for any transport whatsoever.

Also interestingly it was confirmed in a special comic that “Zonic” the zone cop generally aided or guided Sonic in the right direction across the multiverse or in the cosmic highway without him knowing about it the early days. Heck Zonic says outright HE HIMSELF sent Sonic to alternate reality zones or made portals for him to get around with, and that Sonic just happening to navigate the multiverse himself was a ridicules notion. When Sonic "got lost in the multiverse" and ended up in anti mobius, it was because Zonic sent him there. When he traveled across the multiverse to gather alternate versions of himself, Zonic probably provided him portals to the universes he needed to go to. These facts alone throw a huge wrench into the feats regarding the cosmic interstate, because Sonic TECHNICALLY had outside help in most of the situations people quote.

On another note only one sign has ever been shown denoting a distance for the cosmic highway, and it was in an out of the way place Sonic had a specific reason to travel to. Taking it as an average to measure the whole highway by is a bit much.

Overall It’s a highly fishy feat, with a lot of unknown variables. Now to be fair personally there is a sign in some early comics that claim the speed limit of the cosmic highway is 74,656 light years per hour, so if you wanted to flub it and Say Sonic must have gone at least that fast...well ok. However using anything with the cosmic highway to prove he's quintillions of times FTL is a bit much.

Anyway in comparison the femtosecond feat, while still inconsistent with most of modern Archie, at least is acknowledge and explained in detail within the actual story. You can calc it fairly high for that matter http://forums.hero-academia.com/xfa-blog-entry/archie-sonic-goes-fast-revised.33919/

On another in my opinion the best and most defendable feat to make Sonic universal or multiversal or whatever is probably saying he has reality warping powers based on his experience using chaos control to affect genesis waves or fix damage to reality. This is somewhat supported given Sonic seemed to think he could use chaos to fix reality in the worlds unite, even though a genesis wave wasn’t involved there. Not to mention media like Sonic the comic does show reality warping to be a power the chaos emeralds can grant outright. Though that being said that’s a power that ers more on the side of hax, and not physical ability.

Finally for those wondering the size of earth can for the most part be substituted for the size of Mobius or Sonic’s planet in most media for the sake of calcing. They tend to be related, extremely similar planets or the same planet in most continuities.

- Earth and Mobius are said to be similar in sonic the comic http://i.imgur.com/jgHFRYR.jpg

-The earth and Sonic’s planet are basically twins in shifting dimensions in Sonic X.

-Satam was supposed to take place on a post-apocalyptic earth, likewise the writer’s bible for AOSTH mentions it took place on the same planet as Satam (believe it or not) http://ledastudios.rubberslug.com/gallery/inv_info.asp?ItemID=243381

-Pre-gen Archie was confirmed to be a future earth.

-Planet freedom in the OVA was implied to be a future earth (there are ruins of a new York city featured in it)

-Finally the main games have referred to the planet as earth before, and post-gen Archie is primarily based on those games now.

Summary
Advantages
Fairly good at thinking of intelligent plans at a moment’s notice and has a ton of experience with large varieties of foes.

Excalibur can potentially dispel powers of immortality.

Multiple super forms at his disposal. Many have near invulnerability and greatly enhance his states.

Mobility and speed are off the charts.

Various forms of defense like shields, including some he can regenerated endlessly.

Some instances of reality warping.

Teleportation and time stop are hax

Can also manipulate gravity to an extent

Also has some time travel powers

Has various time stop or slow abilities.

Abilities like Ring time or magic hands technically count as a form of transmutation to an extent

Many forms of defense like shields can be regenerated endlessly.

Has good taste in food http://i.imgur.com/MAA72cD.jpg

Disadvantages

While he can swim in some cannons, there are a few where he can’t. Likewise in several cannons he displays either a fear or dislike of water.

Fairly cocky and impulsive. Also tends to not take situations seriously.

Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom are a thing.

Potential opponents

Sanic
Because we need who can gotta go faster.

Sonichu
Cause Pikachu is my favorite pokemon. So a version of him combined with Sonic must be awesome right?
Sonic.EXE
Cause I have no idea who Sonic.EXE is, and I’m curious.

Knackles
I dunno because …..reasons.

Cinos
Might be cool to see, cept it’s kind of a stomp in Cinos’s favor. Cause when he takes the chaos emeralds, master emerald, sol emeralds and world rings he becomes SUPER ULTRA MEGA DARK SPINE….aw fuck just call him Jesus the hedgehog.

Any MLP character
BECAUSE WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!(both these fandoms are pretty chill right?).



Thanks for reading guys! Hope you enjoyed it!

  1. So what a femtosecond times 1000 equal then? Since Super Sonic increases his speed by 1000x anyway

    1. 0.1 femtoseconds divided by 1000 (lessor time, means better reaction), equals 0.1 attosecond. Yes, Super Sonic is comparable, if not better than the Flash in terms of reaction time.

  2. In Sonic X, Sonic outpaced lightning and drew it to himself as a speed feat. https://youtu.be/vHL6WWg8k24?t=853

    1. Nice I actually missed that feat. I'll add it in at some point.

  3. All of the joke match-ups that you have at the end aside, this was extremely well done! I think this does you well considering your infamous Archie-debunk blog that you've made which drew a lot of attention. The blog really shines and is proof that Sonic can certainly contend with the likes of very powerful characters like Goku or rival speedsters like The Flash. The fact that you looked at every single canon in detail is commendable. Some of it must have been fun, but at times I understand if it got exhausting. How long did it take you to complete? Anyway, the only complaint I would put forth is grammar-based, I'd gladly peer edit this entire blog for you if you wanted.

    1. Thanks. Yeah a lot of people misunderstood my reason for making the Archie blog. It more to start a dialogue about it and actually make people be willing to talk about it in a vs debate, rather than immediately trying to dismiss everything in regards to it as cheating the second it got brought up. Likewise while it was def true there were a lot things from archie that were most def out of context(ultimate annihilator), the fact i said some feats were probably more defend-able tended to be glossed over.

      Anyway It takes awhile to write a blog this long about a character with so much history. I probably wrote it slowly over the course of 2-3 months, and it def took over a dozen or 2 hours.

    2. Neosonic97 here.

      Oddly enough, your Cosmic Interstate thing only makes Sonic about... twenty-five times slower than what I originally had him pegged at, from said feat (2.35 trillion times lightspeed (705 quintillion m/s) as opposed to 58 trillion). At least, that's if we assume that's how fast Scourge was going on his bike. Your thing about the signs in the original 'Archie Sonic Debunked' thing doesn't quite take into account the Genesis Wave. We know for a fact that Sonic's Chaos Control that reversed the original Genesis Wave only restored HIS world to the way it was. Hence why the Cosmic Interstate was in such disrepair when he next went there. It's also been stated by Ian Flynn (The writer of the Archie Comics before they got discontinued) that the Prime Zone and Sol Zone are amongst the only realities that WEREN'T destroyed at the end of Worlds Collide. If nothing else, it does prove that the Super Genesis Wave was a multiverse-busting weapon, at least, by Word of God.

      Here's the line in question, regarding the Sol Zone:

      '#6 Can you provide a solid explanation for the state of Blaze's world in Pirate Plunder Panic?

      Blaze’s World was in the process of being chewed on by the Super Genesis Wave – about the only interdimensional thing not utterly wiped out. Time and space got fuzzy, resulting in things like the Egg-of-War.'

    3. Sorry about the double-post, but it also confirms canonicity of games to the comics. Namely the only games that DIDN'T happen in canon to the Sonic Comics are, according to Ian Flynn, Sonic R, Sonic Unleashed (Not happened yet) and Sonic Lost World.

      It also explains why Blaze's world wasn't wiped out- the Jeweled Scepter, the McGuffin from Sonic Rush Adventure.

    4. I'm aware of all of this.

      Also Eh you have it slightly off. The reason why the cosmic interstate was in disrepair was because the zone cops where in some sort of war with Eggman nega for an extended period of time.

      The first gen wave also ONLY effected Sonic's dimension and that event happened after the arch where Sonic took scrouge to the cosmic interstate. It was only in that case Sonic was able to restore things back to normal.

      It was the super genisis wave much later that warped all reality and nothing outside Sonic's dimension and Blaze's survived under similar circumstances. including the comsmic interstate which was ret conned into not happneing.

    5. Like you're mixing up multiple events, placing them out of order and confusing the reasoning for the no zone damage for something else entirely.
