6 Best Sonic Characters Who Aren’t In the Games

Sonic the Hedgehog might be synonymous with video games, but the franchise stretches far beyond consoles. Sonic and friends have starred in animated series, anime, comics, novels, and, famously, blockbusters. For the most part, the extended universe focuses on the characters from the games, as they have roughly a billion options; however, occasionally, we get a brand-new face who genuinely leaves a long-lasting impression. These aren’t one-off villains or minor players, either, and they are arguably among the best Sonic characters in the entire franchise.
