    In an alternate universe, Sonic the Hedgehog instead looks like a little human boy with spiky blue hair. That's according to the original Sonic character designer, Naoto Ohshima, who recently shared some concept art of what would go on to become the iconic Blue Blur as we know him.

    On Twitter (via CBR), Ohshima posted two images of concept art for early versions of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game. Ohshima wrote that the concepts were for "an action game about twin brothers who protect the dream world from Nightmare World's boss 'Thirteen'.

    Ultimately, this concept evolved into Sonic.

    I made a draft of the game. An action game about twin brothers who protect the dream world from Nightmare World's boss "Thirteen". It evolved into Sonic.

    Over three decades after Ohshima and Sega settled on the hedgehog design for Sonic, he's still one of the most recognizable video game characters on the planet. 2022 was a big one for the Blue Blur, with the release of the Sonic Frontiers video game, the second live-action Sonic movie, and the new Sonic Prime Netflix show. And it's only set to continue, with DLC coming to Sonic Frontiers later this year.
