Development of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)
Annotated concept art for the game's level design

Annotated concept art for the game's level design

The original Sonic the Hedgehog began development in April 1990, when Sega requested a mascot to compete with Nintendo's Mario. The game also was commissioned to showcase the technological capabilities of the Mega Drive (known as the Sega Genesis in North America) prior to the international release of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).

The game was developed by seven people informally known as Sonic Team, with the most notable being Yuji Naka, Naoto Ohshima, and Hirokazu Yasuhara. Naka wanted a fast-paced video game that would allow players to speedrun early levels in repeat playthroughs. After hundreds of submissions for a protagonist, the team settled on a hedgehog character by Ohshima that would become Sonic the Hedgehog. The character was designed to appeal to Americans, the game's target audience, and his personality was modeled around the cultural and political landscape of the United States. The game's aesthetics were influenced by the CGI technology of the 1980s, using the Mega Drive's 16-bit graphics to create pseudo-3D background objects, while the soundtrack was made by Masato Nakamura, from the J-pop band Dreams Come True.
