The one character whose Smash appearance has been the most anticipated dashes in from far away at supersonic speed.

Sonic the Hedgehog crashes headlong into battle!

The original Sonic the Hedgehog game used only one button. I think that its simple yet exhilarating gameplay was its virtue.

And given that this game’s controls are also simple, I think it personifies his distinctive characteristics.

Side Special Move: Spin Dash

Yeah, you have to have this.

Hop into a supersonic Spin Dash. If you charge it up just a bit, your speed will increase.

It’s also possible to rise up while spinning.

Spin Dash, jump. A two-hit combo.

Then keep pursuing with a mid-air attack!

And do a Spin Dash in mid-air to return.

That, too?

Down Special Move: Spin Charge

By holding the Control Stick down and tapping the special-move button, you charge up your spin and do a Spin Dash. This may feel better for some, as there’s no jump.

KEEEEEEEEEE!

Up Special Move: Spring Jump

And his up special move is the Spring Jump. That spring launches you waayyy up in the air.

That’s high!

You might not use it on the ground much, but rumour has it that if you do, the spring that remains can be used by other characters.

Ah! It’s true.

Super Sonic

When talking about Sonic’s Final Smash, there is no other option than Super Sonic!

Use the power of the Chaos Emeralds to transform. Race through the air at reckless speed!

Get the Smash Ball!

Now I'll show you!

Haaaaaaaaahhhhh!

He has tremendous inertia and is hard to control, but his top speed is top class!

Those who are witnessing this move should plan on dodging!

Whoa! Hold on!

I won’t take it!

If you boost your speed recklessly, you’ll pass by people too quickly, making it easier for them to dodge.

Speed control is important with this Final Smash.

And it’s over.
