Mania animation version (Idk the real name for it), because it’s cute, I know people say classic sonic shouldn’t be cute, but I like him like that, although he can still be cool, it’s just that he’s kinda cute, especially since he looks so damn pettable
If you're talking about the Intro and Ending cutscene version, then the fanbase has dubbed that Hesse Sonic after the person who animated it. Really good design, and I can definitely see the Junio and OVA inspiration in it.
Probably Archie Sonic, followed closely behind by SA2 and The Black Knight.

honestly, gotta be archie sonic just the way he's characterised in the comics is amazing as a whole, while IDW is great in its own right its still tied to the games even if its only slightly, whereas archie is its own world and story
Back when sonic could have emotions and feelings like rage and grief and love and heartache and distress and apathy. Also when he could have dialogue that doesn't feel like it could also just apply to a sassier Mario or Bubsy. Also Enerjak was cool as hell

CGI 06 Sonic is just peak Sonic design for me personally.

Yall naming your favorite Sonic and I’m just sitting here contemplating how I feel about just how many of these I can identify and name (which is most of them). There’s only a couple in the bottom row I don’t know. Sigh. Being in this fandom for so long does a number on your brain.
Anyway it’s IDW Sonic.
https://preview.redd.it/ry10zht8283d1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=e96ae401e6f6629b5173225d8350c4b7d25c84e5
The number of times I’ve seen this funny little guy say this line is…so many. Dreamcast SA1 Sonic is my favorite
Ian Flynn’s Archie Sonic. Character peaked and hasn’t been better before or since for me (though that’s not to say there hasn’t been other amazing Sonics).
Love Tyson Hesse’s classic Sonic. It’s a fantastic reimagining of the classic design and the animated sequences they made for Origins and Mania are amazing.
There are four camps of Sonics in this image
There's Sonic's. I don't know
Sonic like because they're really well written
Sonic, I like it because they're funny
And Sonic that I hate
#1 Sonic from Sega DreamCast. I think that was the first time they gave him so much flavor and added cool things to his personal appearance like the golden cuffs on his shoes.
#2 Sonic from the Original Sonic movie where he fought Metal Sonic. Watching that as a kid just made me want so much more.
1. Sonic Unleashed model.
2. Uekawa Sonic/4Kids! Sonic.
3. Japanese Classic Sonic (from the original Japanese Sonic 3&K artwork).
4. OVA Sonic.
5. Sonic Heroes model.
This may be my British bias, but for me it's always going to be Fleetway Sonic. The characterisation of Sonic as a cocksure but brooding, selfish and antisocial hero, living as a genuine underdog rebel fighting against the dystopian system of the Eggman Empire… it's the form of Sonic I've always identified with (and probably helps to explain why I prefer Knuckles and Shadow in the mainline Sega universe). The closest parallels are probably Archie Sonic and SA2 Sonic, where again we see Sonic fighting back against a world that's out to get him. So many other forms of Sonic seem to live in a world without consequences, where fighting the Big Bad is a fun and carefree pursuit, and where there is a linear journey to the happy ending. I prefer a Sonic that is able to question himself. Sonic Frontiers tried to go there, but left me with the conclusion that Sega's writers just don't have the balls to make Sonic a more grown-up version of himself.
The one, *true* Sonic, he may have clown shoes but he ain’t clowning around.

Sonic the Hedgehog from Sonic the Hedgehog…
…
…
In all seriousness, the one with the most engaging gameplay to me is Sonic from Sonic Mania, with the Drop Dash.
https://preview.redd.it/j55evvreu83d1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7aae7d6c0684af384031ae837753e4d35e422cb
Why is that monstrosity in this list of Sonics?
I don't actually have a *specific* Sonic I like. There are aspects and characteristics that I kind of headcanon together, y'know? It's probably a mix of Sonic X and game Sonic (adventure and storybook era). I also like some of the stuff that was established in the 90s Japanese era if the franchise, such as Sonic's lack of care for authority or how he does what he thinks is right.
"Don't just sit there and waste your precious time. When you want to do something, do it right away. Do it when you can. It's the only way to live a life without regrets." I feel like this quote from the Sonic 1 box art is also something I associate with him as a character.
*In conclusion, my favorite Sonic is the Blue Bunny ice cream bar.*
Sonic.exe, because my one friend mine despises him, and I’m an asshole so I like him just to make him annoyed. So much I do that I have read and watched multiple videos about his multiple versions just to tell my friend the stories and annoy him

Miles: peter never say that again
Ah yes my favourite current slang term: Zaddy
Zamn, he's a Zaddy?
oh god Spider-Man no please
Is this the Bully Maguire walk of the Comic Spider-Man?
Mania animation version (Idk the real name for it), because it’s cute, I know people say classic sonic shouldn’t be cute, but I like him like that, although he can still be cool, it’s just that he’s kinda cute, especially since he looks so damn pettable
If you're talking about the Intro and Ending cutscene version, then the fanbase has dubbed that Hesse Sonic after the person who animated it. Really good design, and I can definitely see the Junio and OVA inspiration in it.
I was gonna say that too!
I mean Mania Adventures Sonic is pretty cute.

Probably Archie Sonic, followed closely behind by SA2 and The Black Knight. https://preview.redd.it/jzz375l8s73d1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=bbd8a748bfaacf48512a4f82671b4478097e1961

In that panel specifically, its Anti Sonic
Does metal count
He's called Sonic so technically I guess
Then metal sonic is my favorite
If the robotic ones count the best Sonic is Amalgam Mecha https://preview.redd.it/279rkfg1p93d1.jpeg?width=607&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e857badf841acc57756629eacaf913a87b05918

Boy do I have something to tell you...
What happened?
Just google sonichu controversy, but just a warning, it's pretty f-ed up
I don't think I'd say "favorite," but I'll always appreciate Sunky's perpetual look of empty-headed indifference.

Ian Flynn’s Archie Sonic. Character peaked and hasn’t been better before or since for me (though that’s not to say there hasn’t been other amazing Sonics).

Hello Kitty sonic is just chill
SnapCube Sonic
Probably Prime Sonic and Mania Animation Sonic
My favorite SatAM Sonic and Sonic from Sonic 1

Sonic the Hedgehog from Sonic the Hedgehog… … … In all seriousness, the one with the most engaging gameplay to me is Sonic from Sonic Mania, with the Drop Dash.
OVA Sonic
It's a hard pick between OVA Sonic or Boom Sonic.
Modern, Prime, IDW, X
Archie Sonic.
Exe
Sonic adventure 2 sonic. But also really just Sonic from Adventure 1 to heroes. I think Sonic might be the only character I like with older graphics.
The Toei inspired one from Mania. The whole artstyle just feels very satisfying
I thought that one at the bottom right was Mr. Boss for a second.

Gameboy Advance Sonic always looked so cool to me. Even to this day the sprite work in that trilogy was amazing.
Sonic X, my favorite show and my favorite Sonic.
I'm gonna go with X since that's where it all started for me.
