Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog, mostly known simply as Sonic, is the video game company Sega's mascot and the main protagonist of the video game series he is named after.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is one of the most famous mascots in video game history.
 * 2) Unlike most other video game mascots, Sonic actually has a personality that can actually be integrated into interesting stories. Thanks to this, Sonic has not only interesting stories in his video games, but he has a bunch of good stories in comic books, cartoons and more!
 * 3) His famous rivalry/friendship with Super Mario. Which was famous enough that Mario and Sonic started to appear in a crossover game together since 2007's Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.
 * 4) He's also a fighter in the Super Smash Bros. games since Brawl in 2008.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can be too narcissistic and prideful to be likable.
 * 2) Sometimes says very cheesy quotes, such as "Nothing starts before you take action".
 * 3) Tends to overreact when someone misjudges his species.
 * 4) Sometimes makes absolutely terrible puns that no one can enjoy. Not even unironically.
