Sonic is the fastest character in the game, with fast attacks and movements. Several of Sonic's moves are based on those he uses in his games. His standard special is the [[#Homing Attack|Homing Attack]], which involves him flying right into opponents, his down special and side special are [[#Spin Dash|Spin Dash]] and [[#Spin Charge|Spin Charge]], respectively, which both involve him curling into a ball and ramming into opponents, and his up special is [[#Spring Jump|Spring Jump]], which involves him leaping up off of a spring from the ''Sonic'' series. His [[Final Smash]] move is using the [[Chaos Emerald]]s to transform into [[#Super Sonic|Super Sonic]], allowing him to fly around the stage to attack. Sonic's victory theme is directly taken from the 2006 ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 game)|Sonic The Hedgehog]]'' game, that tune being an arrangement of the "Act clear" theme from ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog 3|Sonic The Hedgehog 3]]'' and most ''Sonic'' games after that. This makes him the first character in the series whose victory theme is ported directly from a non-''Super Smash Bros.'' game. | Sonic is the fastest character in the game, with fast attacks and movements.
