Edit: I don't actually think Boom Sonic's feat is valid and I would've used the New Year's episode instead, but there was no other calculation I could find, so I just went with that.
Calculations for Boom Sonic and Sonic the Comic come from the vsbattles wiki if you want to see them in full (should’ve put that in the video, sorry). I'd link them directly if it weren't for RUclips's external link policy.

A couple rebuttals to lay out in case I get a certain group of comments (long comment ahead ⚠️):
“What about Sonic Generations where both Sonic and Classic Sonic restore time and space by running?”
While many people like to point to this scene as Game Sonic’s fastest feat and the most irrefutable evidence to him being massively faster than light, it’s actually not (for the record, I thought it was too for a long time). The thing is, it’s stated in the manual for Generations that White Space is a completely separate dimension from Sonic’s main universe (which is why we see the Eggmans stuck there in the last scene of the game despite Sonic having defeated Time Eater and restoring all the zones). The only things that were there were the 9 zones you explore throughout the game, not the whole universe. What Tails was referring to in that cutscene *were* those 9 zones alone: “… leaving the *areas* empty and dead, and sticking *them* in this weird white limbo”, “you’ve brought back quite a bit of *this* world” (i.e. White Space).
And even then, the statement doesn’t make much sense because it’s not elaborated on what exactly Tails means by Sonic “accelerating through time and fixing space”. Like what does that even mean? How exactly is he fixing space by just running? On top of that, Sonic didn’t even know that running fast would fix everything, so why would he randomly decide to go that absurdly fast in the first place when-for all he knows-he has no reason to? And is he just running through every zone that fast? Can Eggman’s robots move that fast too? The G.U.N truck? The whole thing is a major contrivance if anything, and the statement is likely just in reference to you playing through the zones. Not anything related to Sonic’s speed. Generations was clearly made as just a simple, fun anniversary game with no concrete thought in its writing.

“What about when Sonic outran the black hole in Sonic Colors?”
Well for starters he didn’t really “outrun” it, he was only able to outpace it for several seconds before eventually getting sucked in. Secondly, nowhere is it stated to be a black hole. I’m pretty sure it’s implied to be a massive cluster of hyper go-on energy all being released at once from Eggman’s machine (which was powered by said energy). Black holes are created from stars, and on top of that it’s missing an event horizon (granted it had only just started forming in that scene, but still). While destructive, I don’t think it even carries the gravitational strength of a true black hole, considering even Eggman survived it in a busted up Egg Mobile (he was pulled right into it unlike Sonic). So I don’t see this as a light speed feat.
This is why I used the scene from Sonic Colors DS above anything else, because unlike the console version of Colors and Generations, it has legitimate credibility behind it with the manual statement (and of course the fact that lasers themselves are a form of light, and therefore light speed). The former two are heavily speculative and based on assumptions without reasoning. You may argue the canonicity of Sonic Colors DS, but I’d say it still counts. The only thing different about the game canonically is the story. Everything else is pretty much 1:1 with the main universe, so I’d say it’s safe to assume that our main Sonic shares the same speed (that is if it isn’t already canon). Heck, Classic Sonic alone is already enough proof of Sonic being faster than light considering we know that he’s obviously gotten faster since then (which many games have shown, including Generations), so it’s definitely not far off from his actual speed.

“Sonic didn’t time travel on his own in CD, it was the time stones/time posts”
The time stones reside in the special stages before you collect them (the special stages being described officially as another dimension), and the ability to time travel is still present before then. So no, the time stones have nothing to do with it. As for the time posts, those are merely game mechanics meant to guide the player, just like how the checkpoints are used to save progress. They have no baring on the actual story. And even then, Sonic still has to physically run on his own and reach a certain speed to actually go back/forward in time (which again is stated to be the speed of light). So in the end it’s all Sonic and his own speed.
The disclamer at 50 seconds is to prevent matpat stans from posting the video where some dude talks about how sonic went countless times faster than light to travel back in time
Wait what? Lol
RUclips: "Your video is for kids, even though you specifically told us it isnt"

People may or may not give a compiled list like yours credit but either way, our blue spiny hedgehog these days is much much faster than what his name implies 🤣
Why wouldn’t they give it credit? I'd say most of it is pretty accurate (except maybe Boom Sonic, that one is a little iffy)
@@anomaly395 You know people, want to believe in whatever they want to believe it 👀
I personally had to jiggle at one of Eggman's memos in Frontiers because it says he is fascinated by how a creature like a hedgehog can reach mach 1 just on his own but given all the facts we got across all media, really, Sonic already exceeded that limit a long time ago.
@@MegaManNeo Yeah. You think Eggman would know by now that he's far surpassed Mach 1 at this point lol.
Not to mention for Game Sonic, he outran a Black Hole. Now granted, he did get sucked in after about 30 seconds, but you'd still have to be incredibly fast to do that, at least light speed.
Also, in the New Year's episode for Sonic Boom, Sonic is able to move normally while everyone else (besides Eggman) is frozen in time.
Eh I don't really see the Colors scene as a light speed feat as it wasn't really a black hole (I addressed it in my pinned comment).
As for Boom Sonic though, yeah. That's the episode I wanted to include here, but as far as I know, no one's done a proper calculation on it yet ;-;
@@anomaly395 No, nobody's dome a calculation on it but you put Archie Sonic at the top because he was able to move normally in frozen time (which I agree with). Also, I didn't read the linked comment because you gave a warning saying it was really long so I decided to skip it, but I'll check it out now
@@Ollie.H-23 Yeah I included it because in that scene there's a proper estimate to be made with time being stopped completely (so we know it's stopped to a planck length). But with Boom Sonic, time was merely slowed down to an unknown point, in which it requires a more calculated approach (you'd have to figure out how fast Sonic's moving compared to everyone else, distance, time, etc). Unfortunately I'm not smart enough to figure all that out by myself.
@@anomaly395 No, nor am I to be honest but if I had the time, I could give a decent go
@@Ollie.H-23 Yeah I'm gonna rewatch the episode myself and see if I can figure something out. If I do then I might make a follow up video.
I feel like a lot of this is dumb power scaling stuff but still, cool video. If I made one, however, I would prob put more ingame stats/actual tellings of speed.
Thanks but.. what do you mean by “dumb power scaling stuff”? Not to come off as pissed or anything but all of these are actual showings of speed. The only one that isn't is Lego Sonic. I'd agree that that clip of Boom Sonic is kind of iffy (I wish someone would calculate the New Year's episode where he moved normally in slowed time), but the rest of them are completely reasonable (I mean for one the CD manual blatantly states that classic Sonic moves at light speed, so Idk how that wouldn't qualify as an actual telling).
Hey Anomaly, why are the comments on Shadow's Post disabled? I felt like wanting to comment something xd
I didn't know they were disabled until now. It wasn't me, the video I linked got marked for kids and apparently that extended to the community post as well🤦♂
I'm about to repost it, don't worry
How come Toei Sonic was ranked but how come Genesis Sonic wasn't ranked?
Toei Sonic and Genesis Sonic are one in the same. They’re both Classic Sonic.
Movie Sonic literally stopped time, how did you not mention that?
If you’re talking about the bar scene it’s because there’s no reasonable calculations on it that I know of. I mentioned in the beginning that this is only based on quantifiable speeds and that some characters are likely faster than what’s shown here.
