Creation

Sega's iconic mascot Sonic the Hedgehog, was first conceived by Artist Naoto Ōshima, designer Hirokazu Yasuhara and programmer Yuji Naka, The first game in the franchise was released in June 23, 1991. He was created as a response to Nintendo's Mario, and to replace their current mascot, Alex Kidd. Some early designs were an armadillo, a dog a rabbut that could grab objects with its ears, which would develop into Ristar, and a character resembling Theodore Roosevelt, that later became Dr. Eggman. After several designs they came up with Sonic the Hedgehog although he was initially called "Mr. Needlenose". He was colored blue due to Sega's logo, that is when Sonic Team was formed.
