Sonic the Fighters (called Sonic Championship in North America until the Gems release), is a fighting game. A Sega Saturn version was announced but never released. The game was never released outside arcades until the release of Sonic Gems Collection.

Origin
An employee at AM2 in Sega 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. 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. He 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.
The following characters are playable:
- Sonic the Hedgehog (can transform into Super Sonic during the final matches) Stage: Giant Wing
- Miles "Tails" Prower Stage: Canyon Cruise
- Knuckles the Echidna Stage: South Island
- Amy Rose Stage: Flying Carpet
- Espio the Chameleon Stage: Mushroom Hill
- Fang the Sniper Stage: Casino Night
- Bean the Dynamite Stage: Dynamite Plant
- Bark the Polar Bear Stage: Aurora Icefield
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 Robotnic' in that distribution.)
