Cyberlink420 Sonic the Hedgehog 2 establishes that Tom and Maddie did adopt Sonic at the end of the first one. They call him "our kid" and Sonic even calls Tom "Dad". It was noted that this was in the film series canon only in mentioning that in the infobox. 3040Thirty (talk) 01:57, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Sonic regards them as parental figures by the end, sure, but they are not literally his parents. There was no indication of a formal adoption. That, and all the information you're adding is unsourced. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 02:02, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Crap, that was Autocorrect, I meant informal. Would "surrogate father" work then? And I can add back the information if I source it all? 3040Thirty (talk) 02:05, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Honestly, I'd argue there shouldn't be film/comic other media stats in there at all. It feels like unnecessary bloat, and the article is primarily about the character as he appears in games. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 02:17, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- I would disagree. The opening says that Sonic the Hedgehog is the protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series published by Sega, as well as numerous spin-off comics, animations, and other media. The comics, television series and films exist, are significant, and this article is not only about Sonic as in the games. All the voice actors would be bloating too, except they are in columns for language. These would also be in columns for continuities. Could I try referencing the family section, and you can see how it looks? 3040Thirty (talk) 02:22, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- This is excessive fancruft as far as the infobox goes. Better suited for Fandom. -- ferret (talk) 02:27, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Sigh Fine. Can I put in significant others, given there have only been three? 3040Thirty (talk) 02:30, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Really late response but this wouldn't even be really acceptable in prose, let alone the infobox. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 10:51, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Tim Robinson Sonic
Should we add Tim Robinson in the list of "voiced by". He voices him in the new Chip 'n Dale movie 2603:8000:B03:CA00:B54F:8E0C:E869:AC24 (talk) 13:51, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
- No, he voices 'Ugly Sonic', a meme/parody of Sonic. It's not the same character (and there's some evidence they didn't even license it from Sega). Might be worth a sentence in prose somewhere, but it's clearly not an official voice for Sonic. -- ferret (talk) 14:42, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Add Tim Robinson from [Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers (Film)] 2601:408:701:BD10:640E:FC6C:AB60:763B (talk) 22:24, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
- Not done: He voices a parody of Sonic known as Ugly Sonic, not the actual Sonic character. Thus, Tim Robinson is not an official voice for said character. —Sirdog (talk) 22:56, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Change "character" to "characters" and change "inductees" to "to be introduced" 2600:1700:6A41:4010:2494:F9F2:2188:C4D5 (talk) 02:16, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- Partly done: I just removed it from the lead entirely, as it was WP:UNDUE for the lead. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 10:59, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Shouldn't we have an origins section?
Sonic started as an attempt by Sega artists to draw an Italian similar to Mario. After seeing the art, the games theme was changed. Goodbye Socca, hello Sonic — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jabrodoah (talk • contribs) 07:05, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
