There are times when staying offline is the best course of action. For Sonic the Hedgehog fans, those days come whenever they remember Sonic is wearing a hedgehog suit.
No, I am not trolling – it’s canon. Way back on July 8, 2020, Sonic’s official Instagram account shared an image revealing a list of the blue blur’s daily routine. Most tasks were pretty mundane: wake up, brush teeth, read emails, and maybe take a few thousand laps around the house. However, one item stuck out.
Every night at 11:30 P.M., Sonic takes off his hedgehog suit. Almost immediately, I couldn’t but think this would be like a human peeling off their skin before sleep. Sega, why (further) taint a beloved children’s franchise like this?
Naturally, most Sonic the Hedgehog fans try to forget this ever happened. Every so often, though, that knowledge slithers back into their subconscious like a grim reminder that the universe is coldly indifferent to our existence.
It happened again earlier this week, and I’ve gathered the best (worst?) reactions below.
