Video Game Fact/Trivia

Sonic the rabbit, no, armadillo, no, Hedgehog!

Programmer Yuji Naka started with a simple concept—players would control a character inside a ball that rolled through levels in long tubes. Eventually the character evolved to be a rabbit—and like Mario, he could stop and pick things up.

However when it was determined his rabbit ears would be too difficult to animate and stopping to pick up items would slow the pace of the game, developers looked to animals that would roll up like balls to retain the style of game and fast action they were going for.

A hedgehog (proposed by designer Naoto Ohshima) was eventually chosen—over an armadillo—and he was first called Mr. Needlemouse.
