For this reason, we have divided the Sonic Universe into multiple "eras" for a more concise look into the timeline. In fact, the universe's history is very expandable to a point of having a rather spontaneous continuity. It also has a very, very large cast, with some characters getting more focus than others. The main character is Sonic the Hedgehog and his usual adventure is stopping Doctor Eggman from taking over the world up to the universe. The Sonic Universe has a very rich history. The first game in the series, published in 1991, was conceived by Sega's Sonic Team division after Sega requested a mascot character the title was a success and spawned sequels, and transformed Sega into a leading video game company during the 16-bit era in the early to mid-1990s. Typically, Sonic-usually along with some of his friends, such as Tails, Amy, and Knuckles-must stop Eggman and foil any plans of world domination. The protagonist of the series is an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog named Sonic, whose peaceful life is often interrupted by the series's main antagonist, Doctor Eggman. The franchise centers on a series of speed-based platform games, but several are spin-offs in different genres. Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game franchise created and owned by Sega.
