Hello, I do not know if video games or any other activity not related to Club Penguin can be posted in the General Discussion, but I want you to know that you've believed Sonic the Hedgehog can run at the speed of sound. But, unfortunately, the truth is, he can still run the speed of a hurricane, but he can NOT run at the speed of sound. According to Sonic's size in his first game, he could run 10 meters per second, but the sound barrier is 340.29 meters per second. Compare those stats to Mario in his first game, which he runs 20 meters per second. That's twice the speed of Sonic in his first game. What about if he turns into Super Sonic. I hate to break it to you, but he can't even get to 80 meters per second. Why did I say 80, you might ask? Well, in Sonic Unleashed, at maximum ring energy, starting Act 3 of Skyscraper Scamper, he does run 80 meters per second, the fastest Sonic ever gets in any of his games. While he may be a lightning bolt, he is certainly not a sound barrier-breaker. However, this is just a theory, this means it hasn't been proven true or false, it may not even be proven anything. I just wanted to share this little... ahem, not fact, but... let's say a "news flash" to you. But don't get all sad and upset, he's still the fastest thing alive!
