What is Sonic the Hedgehogs top speed

What is Sonic the Hedgehogs top speed
Sonic the Hedgehog, on average, is known to run faster than the speed of sound. sonic could instantly accelerate faster than the speed of sound with ease as shown in sonic x episode 1.


he could increase his speed by using his Super Peel-Out technique. as shown in Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Sonic Chaos, Sonic Triple Trouble, and Sonic Blast.


in sonic unleashed the checkpoints posts. also act as radars that clock Sonic's speed when he passes them. which clocked his fastest speed of being able to go over 2,500 mph.


It is also stated in the Sonic Adventure DX manual that ''He's the world's fastest, hypersonic hedgehog'' which is at a staggering speed of 3,840 mph.


Sonic can move at the speed of light. as shown in Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes and in sonic generations.


In those games sonic has specific light speed set of moves. the light speed dash and light speed attack.


Since Sonic Heroes, he can perform the light attack fast and didn't need to charge anymore. for the dash, he no longer needs to charge as of sonic adventure 2.


The Light Speed Dash returns in Sonic Generations as one of Modern Sonic's normal abilites.


in Sonic CD Using his unrivaled speed, Sonic managed to travel through time and ensure a good future for the Little Planet.


Omega also stated in Sonic Colors (DS) that with Sonic's current progress, he would surpass the speed of light.''


in the Archie Comics. in the early going, Sonic outraced shadows and was faster than light. by vibrating his molecules at super-speed, Sonic can break free of chains and can create a force-field.

In Hyper Sonic #134: Something about 2 missiles on opposite ends of continents about to hit. He pushed himself to his extreme limit, and really straned himself, entering a realm where time was stopped. He then proceeded to take out the threats in no time. After this, he had trouble getting out of this accelerated mode and was nearly stuck permemantly , until he found how to slow himself down to get out of it.

sonic has different forms of speed, regular, super, ultra, hyper, sonic can also hit warp zones and use chaos control (with an emerald).


Chaos Control :
CC is a completelydifferent level, you could "try" assigning a speed to a few of the times they use it in certain ways, but not really.
For STARTS , CC allows teleporting,warping of space and time,generally anything related to what i just mentioned(like timetravel and dimension hopping) so... seriously? a measure of speed? lol.


Super Sonic transformation- Super Sonic enhances his speed- that's all they officially say about him.


Super Sonic could fly and float in the air for a unlimited amount of time. What's he's performed in feats-he's faster than light without effort, and doesn't strain to go faster at all. Sonic X- in Sonic X he travels through time and space -under his own power.


Archie gave Super Sonic some feats such as crossing the planet in under a second(Super Sonic's first archie fight), but...not much .


He did avoid a black hole, but it's not that impressive, though physics says you must be FTL to escape those.(as if Super Sonic could have been hurt anyway.


Sonic Shuffle: Super Sonic's Sonic Rumble move- he dashes with afterimages behind him, up to a opponent, seems to do nothing, then just instantly appears where he started ,and then a glowing haze forms where he was at,caused from attacking X enemy numerous times at such a speed; it was a "delayed effect".


In Sonic CD "Using his unrivaled speed, Sonic managed to travel through time and ensure a good future for the Little Planet." that's only BASE Sonic just using his speed to travel through time.



Finishing up: The archie feat lets him move at anywhere in no time- which equates to infinite speed due to that factor. And that was him in his BASE form.


He could just use CC and 'time stop' to get that^ or externally, seriously Stop Time for all, (Sonic X), but he prefers his speed over CC.

Sonic the hedgehog is beyond the speed of light. his top speed is immeasurable it's unknown.
