Did you know? Sonic the Hedgehogs original name was Mr. Needlemouse. This moniker was chosen by Sega creator Yuji Naka, who wanted to emphasize the characters ability to navigate through challenging levels. The name was later changed to Sonic due to trademark issues with another game that featured a similar character.
