 Naka had created an algorithm that allowed a sprite to move smoothly on a curve by using a dot matrix to determine its location. Naka's prototype featured a platform game in which a fast-moving figure rolled a ball down a lengthy and twisting tube. The concept was accepted by Sega management, and they were joined by designer Hirokazu Yasuhara.[([[https://jhmoviecollection.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(character)|jhmoviecollection]])] Naka had created an algorithm that allowed a sprite to move smoothly on a curve by using a dot matrix to determine its location.

 +===== Creating The Mascot =====
 +
 +After Yasuhara joined Naka and Ohshima, their attention was drawn to the protagonist, whom Sega thought would become the company's mascot. The protagonist was originally a rabbit with prehensile ears that could grasp items, but the concept proved too complicated for the technology. The crew next considered creatures that could roll into a ball before settling on Sonic. Ohshima designed this teal hedgehog. Naka's prototype was expanded up using Ohshima's character design and Yasuhara's level design. Sonic's color scheme was influenced by the cover of Michael Jackson's 1987 album Bad, while his red and white sneakers were inspired by the cover of Sega's cobalt blue logo. His character was modeled by Bill Clinton's "can-do" mentality.[([[https://hy.w3we.com/wiki/Summer_of_Sonic|w3we]])]

 +===== Eggman =====
 +
 +Doctor Eggman, the adversary, was another character Ohshima created for the competition. The crew believed the abandoned concept was fantastic and repurposed the figure as a villain.[([[https://www.polygon.com/2020/2/16/21138386/sonic-the-hedgehog-villain-doctor-robotnik-vs-eggman-name|polygon]])]
 +
 +===== First Appearance =====
 +
 +Sonic initially appeared as an ornament hanging from the driver's rearview mirror in Sega AM3's racing game Rad Mobile (1991), five months before Sonic the Hedgehog was released. The Sonic producers allowed AM3 to utilize Sonic because they wanted to make the character more visible to the public.[([[https://www.chess.com/forum/view/off-topic/sonic-the-hedgehog-wiki|Chess]])]
