'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (ソニック・ザ・ファイターズ), originally released as '''''Sonic Championship''''' in North America and Europe, is a versus fighting game developed for [[sega:Sega Model 2B CRX|Sega Model 2B CRX]] arcade hardware by [[Sega AM2]]. It was released in relatively small numbers across the world during 1996.
 +
 
 +
To date, ''Sonic the Fighters'' is the only ''Sonic'' fighting game of its kind.
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
[[File:SonictheFighters Model2 AttractMode TailsLab.png|thumb|right|200px|Tails' lab during the attract mode intro sequence.]]
 +
:''This is the official story from the Gamest magazine, issue 173. Translation by Windii.''
 +
 
 +
A large quantity of robots suddenly appeared on the land where peaceful days continued thanks to [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]'s frequent actions, and laid waste to its surroundings.<br/>
 +
"This must be [[Dr. Eggman|Eggman]]'s doing! But where is this huge bunch of robots coming from..." as Tails muttered to himself, he got an emergency message from [[Espio the Chameleon|Espio]].
  
−
This was the only Sonic fighting game for years until the eventual release of ''[[Sonic Battle]]'' for [[Game Boy Advance]]. Sonic is also a selectable fighter in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as well as the most recent entries in that series, [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]] and [[Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]].
+
In the video that Espio sent, there was a huge fortress floating on the satellite orbit. Dr. Eggman was dispatching large quantities of robots from the giant space fortress, "[[Death Egg II|Death Egg 2]]"!
  
−
==Development==
+
Sonic decided to get to Death Egg 2 alone using a single-seat space rocket "[[Lunar Fox]]" that [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] invented. However, in order to fly the rocket, 8 [[Chaos Emeralds]] must be collected to act as a power source. Sonic's friends, who spread throughout the world, were guarding the Chaos Emeralds separately so that they are not misused by Eggman (one of them ended up being stolen by [[Fang the Sniper|Fang]] in the meantime, however...).
−
An employee at [[AM2]] added ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' characters into a copy of the game ''[[Fighting Vipers]]'' during his spare time. From there, [[Yu Suzuki]] delivered the ''Sonic the Fighters'' idea to Hiroshi Kataoka.<ref>http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=1&cId=3149135</ref> At first, Kataoka was worried because the concept had the Sonic characters beating each other up, and he was afraid [[Yuji Naka]] wouldn't approve. In actuality, Naka was actually very receptive to the concept. At that point nobody had yet attempted to present Sonic in 3D, so ''Sonic the Fighters' was his official 3D debut; Naka was very happy to see that. Developers were worried about rendering Sonic in 3D at first, so Naka even gave the team a Sonic figure to work off of. The game was developed and released in the [[arcade]] in May 1996, running on the [[Sega Model 2B]] board. It was distributed in the UK by [[Deith Leisure]].
 
  
−
==Characters==
+
First, Sonic and Tails flew over to where [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] is. "If the rocket is single-seat, shouldn't the toughest guy be the one riding it?" Knuckles provoked Sonic after hearing what's going on. When Sonic, who obviously believed he was the strongest, accepted Knuckles's challenge and was about to fight him, Tails forced his way between the two. Tails proposed fighting fair and square in the ring, and the one who wins against all of their buddies in the world will ride the rocket.
−
The following characters are playable:
 
−
*[[Sonic the Hedgehog]] (can transform into [[Super Sonic]] during the final matches) Stage: [[Giant Wing]]
 
−
*[[Miles Prower|Miles "Tails" Prower]] Stage: [[Canyon Cruise]]
 
−
*[[Knuckles the Echidna]] Stage: [[South Island]]
 
−
*[[Amy Rose]] Stage: [[Flying Carpet]]
 
−
*[[Espio the Chameleon]] Stage: [[Mushroom Hill Zone|Mushroom Hill]]
 
−
*[[Fang the Sniper]] Stage: [[Casino Night Zone|Casino Night]]
 
−
*[[Bean the Dynamite]] Stage: [[Dynamite Plant]]
 
−
*[[Bark the Polar Bear]] Stage: [[Aurora Icefield]]
 
  
−
When two similar characters face each other the second player will be replaced with a grayscale version. If a character defeats all eight opponents, he will face [[Metal Sonic]] and [[Doctor Eggman]] (His North American name, Doctor Robotnik, was misspelled as 'Doctor Robotonic' in that distribution.)
+
Who will be the one to win against everyone, collect the Chaos Emeralds, and save the world? The gong of fate is now echoing.
  
 
==Gameplay==
 
==Gameplay==
−
The goal of the game is for one player to deplete the other players health to zero. If the timer reaches zero before anyone's energy is depleted the player with the most energy remaining is declared the winner. The outcome of each match is determined on a best 2 out of 3 basis. In the one player game there is a total of 10 one-on-one matches before reaching the end of the game. At the end of the first 8 matches the player is rewarded a [[Chaos Emerald]], meaning there are 8 Chaos Emeralds total in this game. As with most fighting games jumping is performed by using the {{up}} direction, rather than using a jump button as most Sonic games do. There are also three buttons, Barrier, Punch, and Kick. Using certain button combinations will also perform more complicated moves and combos.
+
[[File:SonictheFighters Model2 AttractMode Gameplay.png|thumb|right|200px|A match between Sonic and Bean played during attract mode.]]
 +
''Sonic the Fighters'' is a one-on-one versus fighting game similar in design to AM2's previous arcade fighting game outings; ''[[Virtua Fighter]]'' (and ''[[Virtua Fighter 2]]'') and ''[[Fighting Vipers]]''. Like these games, the objective is to attack the opposing player until a health bar depletes to zero over the best of three rounds. Rounds are also time-limited, meaning if nobody is defeated after a time counter reaches zero, the player with the most energy remaining is declared the winner. If both health bars are at the same value at the end of the round, a "draw" is called and the round is played again.
 +
 
 +
As one of eight selectable fighters, the player is tasked with completing ten matches in succession to beat the game. There are also three buttons, "barrier" ({{Bl}}), "punch" ({{P}}), and "kick" ({{K}}), which along with a joystick for movement, can combined to perform more complicated moves and inflict more damage. Taking cues from ''Fighting Vipers'', each of the arenas is enclosed by walls, although unlike that game, it is not possible to slam opponents through them at the end of the match.
 +
 
 +
Like other Sega fighting games from this period, the world is presented in 3D, but characters still fight on a 2D plane (albeit one that "rotates" depending on which moves are used)
 +
 
 +
===Characters===
 +
Under normal circumstances, ''Sonic the Fighters'' contains eight playable characters, with a further two being controlled exclusively by the computer.

Sonic the Fighters (ソニック・ザ・ファイターズ), originally released as Sonic Championship in North America and Europe, is a versus fighting game developed for Sega Model 2B CRX arcade hardware by Sega AM2. It was released in relatively small numbers across the world during 1996.

To date, Sonic the Fighters is the only Sonic fighting game of its kind.

Story

Tails' lab during the attract mode intro sequence.
This is the official story from the Gamest magazine, issue 173. Translation by Windii.

A large quantity of robots suddenly appeared on the land where peaceful days continued thanks to Sonic's frequent actions, and laid waste to its surroundings.
"This must be Eggman's doing! But where is this huge bunch of robots coming from..." as Tails muttered to himself, he got an emergency message from Espio.

In the video that Espio sent, there was a huge fortress floating on the satellite orbit. Dr. Eggman was dispatching large quantities of robots from the giant space fortress, "Death Egg 2"!

Sonic decided to get to Death Egg 2 alone using a single-seat space rocket "Lunar Fox" that Tails invented. However, in order to fly the rocket, 8 Chaos Emeralds must be collected to act as a power source. Sonic's friends, who spread throughout the world, were guarding the Chaos Emeralds separately so that they are not misused by Eggman (one of them ended up being stolen by Fang in the meantime, however...).

First, Sonic and Tails flew over to where Knuckles is. "If the rocket is single-seat, shouldn't the toughest guy be the one riding it?" Knuckles provoked Sonic after hearing what's going on. When Sonic, who obviously believed he was the strongest, accepted Knuckles's challenge and was about to fight him, Tails forced his way between the two. Tails proposed fighting fair and square in the ring, and the one who wins against all of their buddies in the world will ride the rocket.

Who will be the one to win against everyone, collect the Chaos Emeralds, and save the world? The gong of fate is now echoing.

Gameplay

A match between Sonic and Bean played during attract mode.

Sonic the Fighters is a one-on-one versus fighting game similar in design to AM2's previous arcade fighting game outings; Virtua Fighter (and Virtua Fighter 2) and Fighting Vipers. Like these games, the objective is to attack the opposing player until a health bar depletes to zero over the best of three rounds. Rounds are also time-limited, meaning if nobody is defeated after a time counter reaches zero, the player with the most energy remaining is declared the winner. If both health bars are at the same value at the end of the round, a "draw" is called and the round is played again.

As one of eight selectable fighters, the player is tasked with completing ten matches in succession to beat the game. There are also three buttons, "barrier" (Block), "punch" (Punch), and "kick" (Kick), which along with a joystick for movement, can combined to perform more complicated moves and inflict more damage. Taking cues from Fighting Vipers, each of the arenas is enclosed by walls, although unlike that game, it is not possible to slam opponents through them at the end of the match.

Like other Sega fighting games from this period, the world is presented in 3D, but characters still fight on a 2D plane (albeit one that "rotates" depending on which moves are used)

Characters

Under normal circumstances, Sonic the Fighters contains eight playable characters, with a further two being controlled exclusively by the computer.

Sonic can transform into Super Sonic during the final matches if he gets through the game without losing a single round.

Legacy

From the moment of its announcement it was expected, and later confirmed, that Sonic the Fighters would be ported to the Sega Saturn in the months that followed, however while the game remained in the schedules as late as mid-1997 (with a vague 1998 release date[20]), no such version ever materialised. Sonic and Tails are not present in the Saturn version of Fighting Vipers either, however Bean and Bark would make an appearance in the 1997 release of Fighters Megamix.

Sonic the Fighters would not make it to the home until the 2005 release of Sonic Gems Collection. It was at this point where the "Sonic Championship" name was dropped from international versions and has never been used since. Sonic the Fighters would then be brought to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade as part of Model 2 Collection in 2012, with online play and the ability to play as the boss characters, Metal Sonic and Dr. Eggman, as well as unused character Honey the Cat. Sonic the Fighters is also playable at the in-game arcades in 2021's Lost Judgment, with Honey and the boss characters once again playable.

While a fighting game of this style has not been attempted since Sonic the Fighters' original release, Sonic Battle for Game Boy Advance offers an alternative style of Sonic fighting game, and Sonic was added as a selectable fighter in the Super Smash Bros. series, beginning with Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii.
