Contents
To do
- References to Sonic in sports that aren't sponsorships (including wrestling)
- Commercials and Sponsorships
- Ensure all files are hosted at their appropriate websites; Sega/Sonic/CDN.
- Ensure all Reference article entries that feature both a Sonic and a non-Sonic reference have all refs listed on both their Sega and Sonic Retro entries.
- Reformat multiple-ref entries as nested ones like the Sonic Retro page (if possible.)
- So the reason Wreck-It Ralph's section doesn't mention the Hang-On inspired full-body taikan stuff is because that's such a popular shape for that type of hardware that it needs mentioning elsewhere. Which brings me to: This article needs brief summaries on "generic references" to very popular Sega things... i.e. the Hang-On style of sit-down motorcycle cabinet was so popular and widespread that pretty much anytime you see a fictional arcade with "sit-down motorcycle games", they're almost always a Hang-On "reference" (at least through inspiration.) The Music references article will need the same thing. So short of listing every piece of media featuring Hang-On-like sit-down motorcycle cabs, we can keep it to a brief section with a few examples and maybe an inline image.

Questionable references
- In an episode of Samurai Jack, Jack obtains a pair of blue sneakers that gives him Super Speed and makes him run like Sonic, down to his legs forming an 8.[1] (doesn't really look like Sonic...)
- The background for the first segment of Mega Water S's stage from Mega Man: The Wily Wars looks like it may be a possible reference to Green Hill Zone's background[1], but I'm not 100% sure...
Promotional material for the 2020 Sonic film
- NFL Slimetime
- Jimmy Kimmel Live!
- 2022 Kids' Choice Awards
- NFL Wild Card Game - San Francisco 49ers vs. Dallas Cowboys
TV
- Gaming Show in my Parent's Garage - "Sonic" appears a few times (a person in a Sonic costume I believe)[2]
- Hyperdimension Neptunia stuff[2]
- In the Jelly Jamm episode "The Man That Could Be King", Bello tries to help the King to get his chores done by presenting them as a sort of real-life video game, since the King is quite skilled at video games. The King picking weeds during this scene is accompanied by the "ring collect" sound from the Sonic games.[1]
- Big Wolf on Campus: In "Game Over", Tommy is attacked by a video game character named Dirk Strykem (an obvious parody of Duke Nukem) and tries to convince his friend Merton to help him. Merton doesn’t believe him, so he sarcastically replies that he’ll help him and asks if he should also keep an eye peeled for Sonic the Hedgehog.[1]
- For the Seinfeld entry (and get more from the original Segabits ref): "In "The Couch", when George attempts to rent the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's instead of reading the book, multiple rows of Sega Genesis games can be spotted behind him in the video rental store. Amongst these games are Sonic Spinball, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine." Wait this might be a second ref?
- In Yu-Gi-Oh! GSTART, Kohaku Yudin's Pixel HERO Deck includes a few Monster Cards that reference this series (among others), including Speed Spike (Sonic), Chaos Needle (Shadow), and Chaos Speed Spike (Super Sonic, complete with an Expy of the Chaos Emeralds). According to the author, Kohaku's design also includes a few cues from Sonic, such as his green eyes, blue leg covering (shared reference to Mega Man), white gloves (shared reference to Mario), and blue spikes in the back of his hair.[1]
- "In the Tokimeki PokéLive! and TwinBee story "Risa's and Emma's Double Trouble!?", Risa Selden directly quotes Sonic's "Real Superpower of Teamwork!" line from Sonic Heroes when sending out her Eevee against Team Rocket."[1]
- Ellen DeGeneres Show - Someone in a Sonic the Hedgehog costume?[3]
- Apparently two robot characters in Sonic X are reused designs from an old anime? "TMS Hasshin"?[4]
Games
- While Mario's blue Porcupo enemy was created before Sonic was, verify if any of the later games played up the eventual connection. I'd imagine a magazine or two definitely did, but did any manuals? Official sources? And where is this from?
- Ensure all Daytona-series Sonic cameos are listed.
- Encyclopedia Horrifica (book) - The book uses a screenshot of Silver the Hedgehog using telekinesis to illustrate the concept of telekinesis.[5]
- Incredible Inventions (book) - Significantly features Sonic the Hedgehog in its chapter on video game history.[5]
- Video Games (book) - Features a section on Sonic the Hedgehog.[5]
- "Sonic the Hedgehog and The Beatles: A Comparative Analysis of the Games and the Music" - actually needs an independent page. Also shocked this exists.[4]
- Off The Mark (comic) - Sonic appearance[1]
Other
- Sonic is used to advertise the box of the AMD EyeFinity A-Series chip. Don't know if this should be listed but feels probable, probably aren't too many of these.[6]
- The webseries Square Root of Minus Garfield has a strip where Jon is replaced by Dr. Eggman, with appropriate dialogue. (The sprites were specifically traced from Sonic Battle.)[1]
- The webseries In Wily's Defense has a reference to the Sonic series.[1]
- "Web novel?": In the Nifty version of Can You Spare a Quarter?, the name Tails for Jason's squirrel is based on Sonic the Hedgehog.[1]
- Tabletop: Dino Attack RPG: Member Kotua in Space was a huge fan of the series, and his writing contains many references to it. Most infamously, Chaos was based upon the water creature of the same name from Sonic Adventure, with the Chaos Emeralds used by Kotua being a recurring element of the series. The XERRD scientist Dr. Robert Nicholas is inspired by Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. Dr. Nicholas was first seen in a hovercraft with a wrecking ball, a tribute to Dr. Robotnik's first boss battle in the first game.[1]
- Homestar Runner: Kick the Ball - When choosing who will go first to select their team-mates a coin toss is held. Homestar (when asked to call it) yells "Sonic! I mean Tails!"[7]
