From Sonic Retro
Welcome to Sonic Retro, the largest ad-free collaborative online encyclopedia for all things Sonic the Hedgehog. We currently are working on 7,402 articles and have many more that are requested to be worked on.
While this wiki is designed to help the community by being the most comprehensive collection of Sonic information on the Internet, it's nothing without the community behind it. Anyone who registers an account can edit the wiki, and help to make it the best it can be. As you feel more comfortable with the site, please feel free to make any changes or additions that you feel necessary.

Games, prereleases, and more
From the original Sonic the Hedgehog to Sonic Frontiers and beyond, we focus on where it all began: the video games. We also cover the many game prototypes that have to come to light over the years. But we don't stop there. All things Sonic have a place within, including comics, TV shows, books, music... and Big the Cat.Artwork archive
Sonic Retro is home to one of the largest collections of official Sonic the Hedgehog series artwork, with nearly 6,000 official drawings, illustrations, desktop wallpapers and pieces of concept art. All our artwork is conveniently sorted by game, character and official source it originates from. Check out our artwork archive to browse around.Interviews and magazines
Our collection of interviews is conveniently available both for archival purposes and to have an easy-to-reach place for reading comments and thoughts by those involved in all aspects of the Sonic universe. Even more are available over at Sega Retro, from members of Sonic Team and beyond! In addition, we host a variety of magazine articles and print advertisement for your viewing pleasure. And if you have something we don't, let us know!
