Sonic the Hedgehog (Fandom)

Sonic the Hedgehog is a franchise that consists of games by Sega and various other media based on them. It has a large fandom.

About
As the Sonic series consists of various different media with separate canons, there is no clear plot. Even the game series contains various spin-offs that don't follow the main storyline.

Games

In the main game universe, Sonic's origins are unknown. He has been an enemy of Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik for a long time and has saved the world from him multiple times.

Manga

In the 1992 Shogakukan manga, Sonic's normal self is a young boy hedgehog called Nikki/Nicky who is dating a girl hedgehog called Eimi. Nikki can transform into Sonic, though he is unaware that Sonic is in fact him.

Fanon
The Sonic series started gaining popularity in the 1990s (when it was originally made) and it was the Mario series' biggest rival. The first game who offered incredible visuals and astonishing speed, its series mascot become a popular video game icon, and went on to establish a franchise which continues to this very day.

However, it's considered one of the most fractured and worst fandoms due to their notoriously divided, different canon fanbases (this means: main series fans, Archie fans, Sonic X fans, Sonic Boom fans, among others) with conflicting opinions.

In terms of shipping, the Sonic fandom has the remarkable distinction of having the largest collection of ships available compared to any other fandom, many of which are spread out between different canons and it's quite popular to see canon characters being shipped with fan made characters, even some cross-over characters from other fandoms have been seen being shipped with the official Sonic characters. The two most popular ships which involve Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonamy and Sonally, both of which are in frequent ship wars against each other which also contributes to the fanbase's fractured state.
