Sonic the Hedgehog is a franchise of (generally platform) video games created by the Sonic Team and starring the character of the same name, Sonic the Hedgehog. The series began on June 21, 1991 with Sonic's first game, Sonic the Hedgehog on the Mega Drive/Genesis that made Sega one of the leading video game companies in the 16-bit era.

The series was represented in the Game Contest of 2004 by Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but it wasn't represented particularly well; Mario World blew it out of the water in the second round of the tourney. There was a push to have 2D Sonic represented by Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in the next Game Contest, which most hoped would fare better. It didn't. The classic Sonic series was also involved in the Series Contest of 2006, where it looked strong in blowing out Devil May Cry before running into a brick wall named Super Smash Bros. Initially SSB's easy win was considered a disappointment for Sonic, but after SSB shocked the world in the following matchup by going toe to toe with Super Mario Bros., Sonic ended up looking great in the X-Stats, even better than his blue rival Mega Man.

As of September 2009, the franchise has sold more than 50 million units. Games in the series are developed by Sonic Team, with the exception of some spinoffs that were independently developed by Sega of America. The main programmer for the first game was Yuji Naka, who would later become head of the Sonic Team division, and the game planner was Hirokazu Yasuhara. The music of the first two Sonic the Hedgehog games on the Mega Drive/Genesis were composed by Masato Nakamura of the Japanese band Dreams Come True.
