Herein, does Sonic the Hedgehog have electricity?
Lightning (also known as Electricity and Thunder) is a recurring element in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
Also, what type of hedgehog is Sonic? Sonic is actually modeled after the Norwegian Badger Bird (sp. Seganus ringseakea) That has a spiked head super similar to that of a hedgehog so… The answer is simple; he is a hedgehog. He is most likely modeled after a European hedgehog, but he could easily be an African Pygmy hedgehog, like I have at home.
Considering this, why does Sonic have electricity?
Sonic's Electric Quills In SEGA canon, his power shoes are actually the source of the speed, which doesn't seem to be the case here due to all those worn out sneakers in his den. More likely than not, the electricity is a way of introducing that Sonic's power can be examined and replicated by Dr.
Why is Sonic Blue?
The story goes that Sonic is blue and moves at supersonic (get it?) speeds, because of a lab accident. He was originally a slower, brown hedgehog, but after the accident he got a lot speedier. Sega also chose to make Sonic blue because it matched the Sega logo.
