Sonic the Hedgehog's official age is generally accepted to be around 15 to 16 years old in the video game universe. Various sources confirm that Sonic was initially stated to be 15 years old in early games and on official profiles, but later games such as Sonic Generations imply he could be between 16 and 17 years old. The movie version of Sonic is estimated to be around 14 to 15 years old, distinct from the game character. In the real world, Sonic was created in 1991, which would make the character 33 years old as of 2024, but this does not reflect the in-universe age of the character.
Summary of Sonic's Age:
- Official in-game age: 15 to 16 years old, possibly up to 17 in Sonic Generations.
- Movie Sonic's age: About 14 to 15 years old.
- Real-world character age (since creation): 33 years (as of 2024).
This age reflects the general canonical setting of the Sonic series rather than the character's real-world creation date or different adaptations' ages. If more specific age for particular versions or timelines is needed, that can also be explored further.
