Sonic the Hedgehog 1991


DID YOU KNOW? Eggman was almost the star


I had planned a trip to New York while this discussion was going


on internally. Sega and I were talking and they said, ‘we


sh


definitely want to see something like an old guy with a moustache as an idea. We also want to see something spiky like a hedgehog or porcupine. And then we also want to see a dog-like character.’ And so I drew these on a board and I am in the middle of Central Park – this is a true story – and I’m showing people these three


ing people


boards randomly, taking a survey, and the result was that the hedgehog wa Pe


hedgehog was the most popular. People really liked it.”
