Because Hedgehog is a universal constant.

Last week I was wearing this shirt: http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Sc ... F-HEDGEHOG

And a stranger asked me "What is the name of that on your shirt?"

"Um... Sonic the Hedgehog." I replied.

"I was on vacation," she replied, "and my grandson would not stop eating those rings. I couldn't get the sound of them out of my head 'Pling' 'Pling' 'Pling'!"

Sonic is named sonic because sonic booms were a big thing when he was made. They were the pinnacle of speed. Sega wanted their game to be fast. He's a hedgehog because they designed him like a race car with a bunch of spoilers and a hedgehog was the closest thing to a real animal that looked like that. It's all about him being fast. Except for his color, which I think was chosen in the same way the blue duck from that one episode of the dilbert show was chosen. People like blue.

I stumbled upon this video a while back, I think it describes perfectly why he should not be a hedgehog. I mean... Sonic doesn't eat his own poop like a real hedgehog would when they run fast!
