Sonic the Hedgehog Poster #13 Princess Sally vs Metal and Silver Sonic Mania

Description

Sonic and Princess Sally vs Silver Sonic and Metal Sonic! Silver the Hedgehog is a silver-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog from 200 years in the future of the main timeline. He first appeared in the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog. His individual episode revolves around him traveling back in time with Blaze the Cat to find and kill Sonic the Hedgehog, who they believe is the cause of their world being destroyed in the future. Silver’s primary ability is telekinesis; he is able to levitate objects and use them as projectiles to either defeat enemies, or interact with his environment. Like Sonic and Shadow, he is able to transform into “super form” by using the power of the Chaos Emeralds. Silver’s creation was inspired by the game’s early development stages, where the development team was making huge levels with multiple paths through them, and decided they wanted to include a new character with unique abilities for an alternate way to play through the levels. The design team developed over fifty different concepts for the character. At one point he was to actually be a mink, but the developers ultimately decided against this, fearing a mink would not blend in with the rest of the characters. They ended up deciding to make another hedgehog instead. Orange was originally decided for his fur, but they soon moved away from that in color, in favor to a white-gray one. While developing the character models and textures, they focused on using the hardware to develop the textures rather than just use white-gray, which lead to Silver’s color and name. Since his first appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), he has mainly appeared in the Sonic series spinoffs, multiplayer games, and small cameo roles. He is one of the playable characters in Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rivals 2, a playable character strictly in the multiplayer modes in Sonic and the Secret Rings and Sonic and the Black Knight, a playable racer in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity,99 and Sonic Free Riders, and a playable athlete in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games and the 2012 Olympic games sequel. He appears in Sonic Generations as a boss in the stages Crisis City (HD version) and Tropical Resort (3DS version). Additionally, Silver was one of a few Sega characters to make a cameo in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, in the background of Sonic’s Green Hill Zone stage, and as a trophy and sticker. Metal Sonic is an evil robotic version of Sonic created by Dr. Robotnik. He first appears in Sonic the Hedgehog CD. He is given orders to go back in time and change the past so that Dr. Robotnik can rule the future. Sonic must race him in Stardust Speedway to free Amy Rose. He is severely wounded when he crashes and falls, but is rejuvenated by Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, only to be defeated again in a similar style. He returns in Knuckles’ Chaotix, where he attempts to obtain the Chaos Rings, but he is stopped by the Chaotix. He was a playable fighter in Sonic the Fighters, and most notably the main antagonist in Sonic Heroes. In Sonic Generations, he appears in his classic form as a rival boss, and he is destroyed when Classic Sonic kicks him into the air. Metal Sonic also appeared as a playable character in the multiplayer version of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, as well as Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games and Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Purchasing both episodes of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 unlocks bonus levels in which Metal Sonic is playable. He possesses a laser cannon built into his abdomen and a force field device. He usually only communicates with a series of electronic noises. The only time Metal Sonic was able to talk was in Sonic Heroes while in his Neo form.
