If Classic Amy was 8 years old and Modern Amy is 12 years wouldnt it be? Classic Sonic:11 Dreamcast Sonic:probbably 12-13 Modern Sonic:15 Boom Sonic:16-17 Edit: alright ive seen alot of debating in the comments, let me just explain Modern sonic is canonicly confirmed to be 15, and yes while he did have a birthday in generations his age wasnt changed, heck if you would count it like that sonic would almost be 30 And jusr to round things up he isnt canonicly aging with every game, because then tails would be 28 right now and knuckles would be 26.
Classic sonic: 11 (10 in sonic 1 as it’s said in the Japanese manual) Modern sonic (adventure - colors): 15 Modern sonic (generations - forces): 16 Modern sonic (currently): 16-17
im just gonna say he's 16, since we've only seen him have one birthday. the "for decades" line by infinite in forces was probably just a 4th wall joke. sonic games do break the 4th wall a lot.
But his birthday cake in generations has 20 on it threr for every game that takes place with in a year is 1 year for sonic as generations is the 20th anniversary game
I think due to sonics speed he might age slower than a regular person, I do believe he is at least 15-17 years old in the modern games given his immaturity, but in human years he is far over 26 because they used "decades" as plural, so at least 2 decades
Age for Sonic is hard because of all the retcons and debunks... But my guess is that Sonic has aged in hedgehog/mobian years which is why he is still technically 15 but can still have a 25th anniversary in human years. Eggman however should be an old man by now! Is it his IQ of 300 technology keeping him young? Idk...
ChannelMage Eggman is young because he is immortal. Is he really a regular human when he survives his lair exploding and How did he get out of the time-space in generations
@@NewSuperChris he did travel in time and we saw what that does to people like samurai Jack not aging at all or how it can cre6 multiple time lines or dimensions
Even if that were true he would only stay 15 biologically. He would still age Chronologically. So he would still have a set age. That is an interesting theory though. But that would also mean the other characters like Amy and Knuckles would just keep aging while Sonic stayed the same.
Well, I'm sure modern sonic is 16, because his oficial age was confirmed to be 15, before Sonic Generations, but they didn't change it after that. So, since boom Sonic is confirmed to be as old as modern, I think he's 15. And about classic...he admired modern Sonic and he acts somehow childish. His height makes him look like he is around 10-11. Edit: sonic forces brings him to 16.5 And, oh man my comment got heart! That has never hapened before!
Actually we do have Sonic's ages from the classic games. In Sonic 1/CD, Sonic is 11 yrs old based on the CD manual proving Amy to be 8. We know she is 3 yrs younger than Sonic according to Heroes. In Sonic 2&3, Sonic is 14 bc Knuckles is confirmed to be 15 in the Sonic 3 Manual. They have a one year difference according to Heroes. Then in Sonic Heroes is where Sonic is stated to be 15, Knuckles 16, Tails 8, and Amy 12. I do believe by now tho Sonic is WAY older than 15 bc there is no way everything else happened within a year.
I think this: Classic Sonic: 12 Modern Sonic (Sonic Adventure to Shadow The Hedgehog): 15 years Modern Sonic (Sonic 06 to Colors): 20 years Modern Sonic (Sonic Generations to today): 21 years Because in Generations is his birthday.
I think your theory of classic sonic's age seems realistic. It always bothered me seeing his age being 15 since he looks too small to look like a teenager...
@@shadowboy2818 Ah okay, I know what you say. True, the classic Sonic looks too small for a 15-year-old. In the manual for Sonic The Hedgehog 3 it says that he is 15, it sounds to me to have heard that he was really 12 and is saner.
To add a point, If you listen to episodes within Sonic X, it's explained that the time done on Mobius (Sonic's Planet) 1 month is 365 days. Which is a year on earth. This is proven when Chris comes to Mobius for the first time. Where Chris says "It's been years..." and sonic replies "It's only been 6 months." Time is different there but changes within the series were obvious.

Actually Amy in CD was confirmed in the manuals to be 8 which means Sonic was 11 (based on their age difference in Heroes). In Sonic 2/3 Sonic was 14 bc Knuckles was 15 at that time (confirmed in the Sonic 3 Manual). Sonic was then stated to be 15 in Heroes making Amy 12 and Knuckles 16.
Well we have to remember, we know Knuckles is 1 year older than Sonic based on Sonic Heroes' guide. And Knuckles was stated to be 15 in Sonic 3. So we know at that time Sonic was 14 back then and 11 in Sonic 1/CD.

@@bakedbeans5494 No not before Heroes he wasn't.. The manuals clearly prove his age has changed since Sonic 1. Amy was 8 in CD but is 12 in Heroes.

@@ninjawaver No it's called changing of age. Knuckles and Amy's ages changed when Sonic's stayed the same. You are being too literate to a point where you forgot that fictional characters have their own continuity.
Well, I think the answer lies in (ironically) Amy's age. Ever since Sonic's official jump to 3d in Sonic Adventure, Amy's always been labled as 12. However, in her debut game, Sonic cd, she was labled as being 8, Tails' current official age (yes people, Tails is 8, not flippin 12). Since when people are talking about Sonic in general, they're usually referring to modern Sonic, and SEGA confirmed that Sonic is/was 15 (at least before Generations), I think it's safe to say that means that Sonic is 11 in Sonic cd. Going off of a video by The4thSnake, Generations would've been Sonic's 16th birthday, leaving at least 4 birthdays between cd and Generations. Since some games have been confirmed non-canon, I think we can place cd just before Sonic's 12th birthday, leaving a slightly smaller timeframe between cd and Generations. If we assume that Sonic turns 12 not long after cd, and 2 takes place after cd (this is going off of the fact that Tails is absent from cd aside from one picture in the sound test, where he's seen with the text 'see you next game'. And since Tails has been in almost every single canon game after 2, and cd has to be canon because of Amy and Metal Sonic's existence, I think it's safe to say that 2 takes place after cd), this would also put Tails at 5 or at least almost 5 when he starts adventuring with Sonic, which I think is slightly more believable than him actually being 4, as 5 is usually the age where people start going to school and learning math and such, which makes his intellect make a bit more sense to me. I'm not gonna try to figure out when Sonic's birthdays were, but The4thSnake did, and he even made Sonic '06s plot a bit less confusing (don't ask me how). As for Infinite's line, I think he was just exaggerating, just as Tails most likely was when he said that Eggman has 10 terabytes' worth of selfies. If you don't believe me, just watch Charrii5's everything wrong with Sonic Forces. He did the math.
Gaming Sensei In the Japanese Infinite only says "countless times" (or something similar) but not "decades". It's weird the American version would say "decades"
+Joshua Starr it's a little weird deciding whether the JP or English version is more canon, since there are small but still significant changes made. Or are we supposed to assume both mix together to be canon somehow?
Idk It's strange they would change that. Perhaps the translators made a mistake? I would assume that the JP would be more canon because it was all created there, and the original dialog is in Japanese.
I like this, but there's one problem with your estimate. Sonic hasn't been fighting egg man since he was born he most likely started did when he was around 15-ish (Thanks to Classic Sonic) which might make an even older than your prediction. I think he's in his mid-20s or early-30s. I think about it that would probably make Tails 13-ish (because he started at 8) Amy around 20-ish (because she was 9-12 years old in CD). But hey maybe I'm thinking way too far into a game about a rodent that goes at the speed of sound.
if you use sonic X as a reference (yes the anime), it takes place in the sonic adventure series, now why do i bring up this, it's because sonic's world timeflowing (mobius) it's different than the normal world. remember that scene where the kid (chris(?)), after sonic saved his world and then sonic had to leave to return to his world with his friends. in chris's world years passed, and chris became an adult, and because he missed sonic, he created a device to return to sonic's world, and then when he arrived he became a kid, because of the different timeflowing?
It's a very complicated thing to ask, honestly. I used to think he was 26 but then realised that Sonic would have only just been born in Sonic 1, if that was the case XD I go by the canon age of 15 for Modern Sonic, but, with Classic, I tend to think that he's 11. Different versions of Sonic, like Boom, I consider him to be older and Movie Sonic to be younger, around 13 when putting the movie's content into consideration.
I absolutely have no idea I have given up on the idea of finding his age, what we can really do is to find an estimation of how much time has at least passed between all the games.
Even though I know this is likely wrong, I like to think that Modern Sonic is 15, and all the classic characters are 4 years younger. In "The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog", Tails says he's 4(and a half.) Modern Tails is confirmed to be 8.
Sonic is 15, SEGA said so. Tails is 8. Knuckles is 16. Amy is 12. Cream is 6. Charmy (Or however his name is spelled) is 8. Espio (Or however his name is spelled) is 16. Victor (Or it could be Vecter :/) is 20. Silver is 14. Blaze is 14. Jet is 14. Wave is 18. Storm is 19. Big the Cat is 18......... Rouge is 18. Shadow’s age is unknown, but he’s been around for 50 years. Eggman’s age is unknown. All of these (If I remembered correctly) are their true ages according to SEGA themselves. Also, cartoon characters don’t have to age.
Kids: Miles “Tails” Prower (Age 8) Amy Rose (Age 12) Teenagers: Silver the Hedgehog (Age 14) Blaze the Cat (Age 14) Sonic the Hedgehog (Age 15) Knuckles the Echidna (Age 16) Adults: Shadow the Hedgehog (Age 50+)
Kids: Charmy Bee (Age 6) Teenagers: Espio the Chameleon (Age 16) Adults: Rouge the Bat (Age 18) (well she’s a teenager too but 18 is more of an adult) Vector the Crocodile (Age 20)
My theory is that classic Sonic is 11 or 12 and Modern Sonic is 15 or 16. (I'm kinda leaning more on 16 cause he's had a birthday in a game and we already knew Sonic was 15 before that) Anyway, here's why I think this. I've heard many times before that Classic Amy is 8 and Modern Amy is 12. So going off of that, and the many time we heard Sonic being 15-16, just do some simple math and we get Classic Sonic's age of 11-12. I believe Sonic is 15-16 cause not only has that been stated many times, but Sonic also acts that age too. The problem with your theory saying that he's 26 in the present and started fighting Eggman in 1991 is that Sonic wasn't born when he started fighting Eggman. You didn't really discuss Classic Sonic's age based off of your theory. Tho it is strange what they said in Forces, I don't really see Forces as cannon due to the MANY inconsistencies in that game.
Modern Sonic is 16 and Classic is 15 the age of most characters was changed between classic games and modern games and that change makes no sense too, because Tails went from 8 to 12 in the same amount of time as Sonic took to go from 15 to 16 you people are just nitpicking lol
I am so sorry but you explaining what a decade is just kinda cemented my viewing of this video being like a parody or something. The voice. LMAO. I’m sorry.
At first I thought Sonic and most the other anthropomorphic animal characters weren't kids and teenagers before I knew about their ages, aren't most the Sonic anthropomorphic animal characters between 6-20 years olds and never ages just because they supposed to appeal to children?.
I think in Sonic 1, he’s 11. Now, he’s 15. I say this because in the transition to 3D when they redesigned Amy they changed her canonical age from 8 to 12, which is a 4-year gap.
My headcanon: Classic is 15 and Modern is 22 (the age he would have as of SA1). Same goes for other characters: Classic Tails is 8? Well, then Modern Tails is 15 Classic Knuckles is 16? That would make him a 23-year-old now Classic Amy is 8/12? So Modern Amy is also 15/19 And the list goes on
Just did the math. If classic sonic is 15, and he has been around for 27 years, that means he owuld be 42. So around adventure 1, he was... Wait. Generations sonic was from 94. And if generations sonic was 15 then we would have to add 3. Making sonic 45!!
Amy is 12 in heroes and 8 in CD, a 4 year gap. Sonic in heroes is 15 so classic Sonic is 11. In official art Sonic celebrated with Chip a birthday in unleashed making him 16. Then generations with his birthday making him 17, then a day before the second Twitter takeover Sonic had a birthday making him 18 Then there's the runners one making him 19 and in Sonic Speed Simulator he has a birthday making him 20 and in the second or third DLC update for Sonic Frontiers he will have a birthday making him 21. Fun fact, according to development material for CD Eggman was born in 1931. Combined with Twitter takeover 2 confirming Sonic and Eggman's birthday is the same day, Eggman's birthday is June 23rd 1931. I actually made a txt about what year does every event in the game Sonic universe take place in. It's a W.I.P but I can share if anyone wants to see. It also has proof of Christianity being believed in within the Sonic universe.
Classic Sonic: Sonic 1 - Sonic 2 and CD (10/11) Sonic 3- Sonic Jam (16 years) Dreamcast Sonic: 15 years Modern Sonic: Sonic 06 - Sonic Colours (15 years) Sonic Generations (16 years) Sonic Forces (17 years) Boom Sonic: 17 years Classic, Dreamcast and modern are the official ages. Boom Sonic, i don't know XD (sorry for my bad english)
In the Japanese version of Forces Infinite doesn't say Decade, it was simply put in as a reference to how old the franchise is. Sonic is at least 16 years old despite what SEGA says.
Classic sonic: 6 Dream cast sonic: 15 Modern sonic: 26 Sonics adventures take place over at least 20 years because infinite says decades. Which means it's at least two decades.
Looking back at this video in 2022 it’s revealed that modern sonic and classic are from two separate dimensions but some times they are from the same universe

Classic is 15, Dreamcast is 16, and Modern is 17! I think his prototype was 13, and Mr. Needlemouse being 14.
Your wrong like classic sonic is 13 Dreamcast sonic is 14 Morden sonic is 15 and boom sonic is 20
This is what I think
Classic is 11, dreamcast is 13, modern is 15, and boom is 19
classic sonic is a toddler
thats how i imagine
HES SO FREAKING CUTE
I like this, but there's one problem with your estimate. Sonic hasn't been fighting egg man since he was born he most likely started did when he was around 15-ish (Thanks to Classic Sonic) which might make an even older than your prediction. I think he's in his mid-20s or early-30s.
I think about it that would probably make Tails 13-ish (because he started at 8) Amy around 20-ish (because she was 9-12 years old in CD). But hey maybe I'm thinking way too far into a game about a rodent that goes at the speed of sound.
I agree Modern sonic is 26 but now it's 2018 so he's turning 27
They don't age
That’s just a theory, a GAME THEORY!
It’s Damon wow nice joke about game theory...
Thanks lol
LastGamer64 Last Water is wet.
It’s Damon Thanks for Unsubscribing!
What do you mean?
if you use sonic X as a reference (yes the anime), it takes place in the sonic adventure series,
now why do i bring up this,
it's because sonic's world timeflowing (mobius) it's different than the normal world.
remember that scene where the kid (chris(?)), after sonic saved his world and then sonic had to leave to return to his world with his friends. in chris's world years passed, and chris became an adult, and because he missed sonic, he created a device to return to sonic's world, and then when he arrived he became a kid, because of the different timeflowing?
well, it takes place after sonic adventure, since the anime have both chaos and shadow (yes, also the perfect chaos fight)+
Animes are not cannon.
@@NewSuperChris I'd say so. From sonic 3 to sonic heroes, sonic only aged a year. This is based off the manuals of games which state their age.
I thought classic Sonic was a baby to be honest. I mean look at him he's bite-size.
It's a very complicated thing to ask, honestly. I used to think he was 26 but then realised that Sonic would have only just been born in Sonic 1, if that was the case XD I go by the canon age of 15 for Modern Sonic, but, with Classic, I tend to think that he's 11. Different versions of Sonic, like Boom, I consider him to be older and Movie Sonic to be younger, around 13 when putting the movie's content into consideration.
Sonic is 41 years old
jojo eiserman How in what shape or form?
The Real Delphox 616 it was a joke but all I did was add his age to the amount of years he has been in gaming
NewSuperChris yep and we all should have known it with simple math of 15 + 26 wow mind blowing but that was a joke that made sense somewhere
jojo eiserman The Sonic would have washed down his spiked quills and wear different shoes and take things more seriously if he aged in real life.
jojo eiserman no hes 15 by the way I am 12 years old and Addison boy has Amy so I am in the show well my real name is this read my name
I absolutely have no idea I have given up on the idea of finding his age, what we can really do is to find an estimation of how much time has at least passed between all the games.
If Sonic is 26, then he’s older than Mario and Luigi! But hey, that’s just a theory, a NewSuperChris Theory! Thanks for watching! XD
frog kiddo how old are the Mario Brothers
They're both 24 actually according to Miyamoto himself.
The more you know.
THE THEORY IS REAL XD
Sonic-Chan
Sonics age
Classic:5
Modern:15
Boom:25
Classic Sonic: 11
Classic Tails: 4
Classic Knuckles: 12
Classic Amy: 8
Classic Mighty: 13
Classic Ray: 6
DreamCast Sonic: 15
DreamCast Tails: 8
DreamCast Knuckles: 16

Shadow: 50
Rouge: 18
Modern Sonic: 28
Modern Tails: IDK
idk the rest :P
Wrong
Modern sonic : 15
Modern tails:8
Modern knuckles :Idk also
I Believe That Sonic Does Age, And As Of Now He Is 26. The Reason Why Everyone Always Says He Is 15/16 Is Because He Doesn't Age Physically.
Good theory
Even though I know this is likely wrong, I like to think that Modern Sonic is 15, and all the classic characters are 4 years younger. In "The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog", Tails says he's 4(and a half.) Modern Tails is confirmed to be 8.
Sonic is 15, SEGA said so.
Tails is 8.
Knuckles is 16.
Amy is 12.
Cream is 6.
Charmy (Or however his name is spelled) is 8.
Espio (Or however his name is spelled) is 16.
Victor (Or it could be Vecter :/) is 20.
Silver is 14.
Blaze is 14.
Jet is 14.
Wave is 18.
Storm is 19.
Big the Cat is 18.........
Rouge is 18.
Shadow’s age is unknown, but he’s been around for 50 years.
Eggman’s age is unknown.
All of these (If I remembered correctly) are their true ages according to SEGA themselves. Also, cartoon characters don’t have to age.
Did you look that up -_-
But the creator of Sonic the hedgehog he says that Sonic is still age of 15 years old
Didn't you see sonic boom?
What I think the ages are:
Classic Sonic: 11
Movie Sonic: 12-13
Dreamcast Sonic: 15
Modern Sonic: 15-16
Boom Sonic: 17-18
26 (through anniversary.) Sonic is a adult hedgehog and 15 in Sonic 06.
Classic Sonic was 8. But he's actually 16.
Kids:
Miles “Tails” Prower (Age 8)
Amy Rose (Age 12)
Teenagers:
Silver the Hedgehog (Age 14)
Blaze the Cat (Age 14)
Sonic the Hedgehog (Age 15)
Knuckles the Echidna (Age 16)
Adults:
Shadow the Hedgehog (Age 50+)
Kids: Charmy Bee (Age 6)
Teenagers: Espio the Chameleon (Age 16)
Adults: Rouge the Bat (Age 18) (well she’s a teenager too but 18 is more of an adult)
Vector the Crocodile (Age 20)
I think Sonic lived for 25 years but clearly his age is 15 so technically Sonic is just 15 for 25 years
Maybe he lives in Neverland where he never grows up like Peter Pan
Sonic Probably have that Ash Ketchum disease!
My theory is that classic Sonic is 11 or 12 and Modern Sonic is 15 or 16. (I'm kinda leaning more on 16 cause he's had a birthday in a game and we already knew Sonic was 15 before that) Anyway, here's why I think this.
I've heard many times before that Classic Amy is 8 and Modern Amy is 12. So going off of that, and the many time we heard Sonic being 15-16, just do some simple math and we get Classic Sonic's age of 11-12.
I believe Sonic is 15-16 cause not only has that been stated many times, but Sonic also acts that age too.
The problem with your theory saying that he's 26 in the present and started fighting Eggman in 1991 is that Sonic wasn't born when he started fighting Eggman. You didn't really discuss Classic Sonic's age based off of your theory.
Tho it is strange what they said in Forces, I don't really see Forces as cannon due to the MANY inconsistencies in that game.
The answer is 15 period
He's a cartoon they won't want everyone's favorite hedgehog to grow up so they keep him the same age
Modern Sonic is 16 and Classic is 15
the age of most characters was changed between classic games and modern games
and that change makes no sense too, because Tails went from 8 to 12 in the same amount of time as Sonic took to go from 15 to 16
you people are just nitpicking lol
i find that people think sonic is 26 funny but sonic is around 13 in the classic area and mordern is around 16 in generations
I always feel that modern was 15/16.
Boom looks like he is 17 because of how he aged.
Sonic is born on June 23 1991 He's ten years younger than Mario so he's 26 almost 27 Happy birthday Sonic
No he doesn't age
Classic
Sonic is eleven
A few years later Dreamcast sonic is 15 and then modern sonic is 18
But sonic doesn't age
Sometimes I think SONIC is 20
Classic Sonic is 12 at most... Just wook at his widdle face :3
Long story short: he was always 15 he just hit puberty
my mind: he's 38 he was 10 when he started fighting eggman sonic was 11 when he met a 7 year old fox named miles 'tails' prower
He doesn't age
Classic Sonic has to be at least 7 or 10 Dreamcast Sonic is 12 or 13 and Modern Sonic has to be 15
I think that classic is 10, modern is 17, and boom is 21.
No they don't age
sonic's age actually never changes
It'll be easy if Sega use the Sonic X logic that a year in human's world is a month in Sonic's world.
I think Classic is 11, Dreamcast is 13, a Modern is 15, and Boom is 17.
Movie is 15-16
2:03 and yea it is just a Theory. a GAME Theory thank you for watching......lol
Sonic the best game ever
A hedgehogs lifespan is 4 to 7 years......
If classic sonic is 15 and every anniversary is +1 year,we can say that modern sonic is 21?
Bruh they don't age
In sonic jam his it confirmed to be 16 but in sonic generations it is confirmed that sonic is 15
I am so sorry but you explaining what a decade is just kinda cemented my viewing of this video being like a parody or something. The voice. LMAO. I’m sorry.
classic has 10-11 years old.
modern has 15-16 years old.
And maybe boom has 18 years old.
Sonic is 15 in sonic boom i search it (bad eng srry)
At first I thought Sonic and most the other anthropomorphic animal characters weren't kids and teenagers before I knew about their ages, aren't most the Sonic anthropomorphic animal characters between 6-20 years olds and never ages just because they supposed to appeal to children?.
I think in Sonic 1, he’s 11. Now, he’s 15.
I say this because in the transition to 3D when they redesigned Amy they changed her canonical age from 8 to 12, which is a 4-year gap.
You watch dillin thomas do you?
@@almir-chan9570 I don’t, but I probably should.
@@shroomfruit345 he was the guy who sorta came up with the theory
My headcanon:
Classic is 15 and Modern is 22 (the age he would have as of SA1). Same goes for other characters:
Classic Tails is 8? Well, then Modern Tails is 15
Classic Knuckles is 16? That would make him a 23-year-old now
Classic Amy is 8/12? So Modern Amy is also 15/19
And the list goes on
I personally dont care that much about sonics age but got damn those tiktok sonic fans are attacking sonamy shipper saying sonic is 40 while amy 12
Cool video as always! Hey if you have time, can you do a theory if classic and modern have the same speed and strength? Just a video idea!
I didn't watch but he's 15 and has never aged according to Sega
Sega never said that! And in an interview with Yuji Naka, he stated Sonic would be an adult now! Read the history of Sonic the hedgehog book.
Now Sonic is 29 years old
Just did the math. If classic sonic is 15, and he has been around for 27 years, that means he owuld be 42. So around adventure 1, he was... Wait. Generations sonic was from 94. And if generations sonic was 15 then we would have to add 3. Making sonic 45!!
They don't age
Let's just say Sonic is physically 15
I think modern sonic is 27, classic sonic is 8 and boom sonic 28
They don't age so ur wrong
i think
classic sonic:11
dreamcast sonic:13-14
modern sonic:16
Amy is 12 in heroes and 8 in CD, a 4 year gap. Sonic in heroes is 15 so classic Sonic is 11. In official art Sonic celebrated with Chip a birthday in unleashed making him 16. Then generations with his birthday making him 17, then a day before the second Twitter takeover Sonic had a birthday making him 18 Then there's the runners one making him 19 and in Sonic Speed Simulator he has a birthday making him 20 and in the second or third DLC update for Sonic Frontiers he will have a birthday making him 21. Fun fact, according to development material for CD Eggman was born in 1931. Combined with Twitter takeover 2 confirming Sonic and Eggman's birthday is the same day, Eggman's birthday is June 23rd 1931. I actually made a txt about what year does every event in the game Sonic universe take place in. It's a W.I.P but I can share if anyone wants to see. It also has proof of Christianity being believed in within the Sonic universe.
classic and modern are actually alternate version of each other
Sonic just turned 28 so wouldn't he be 28?
No they'd don't age
You forgot to add the six months sonic was gone in forces but still great video 👍
what i think:
classic sonic:15
modern sonic:any number between classic and boom sonic ages
boom sonic:26
Sonic: i am 26
Me: THEN IS HE SHORT????
i Always tought that classic sonic was 10 dreamcast 13 modern 15 boom 23
Classic sonic 14 years old
Thats how it will real sonic ages be: Classic sonic is 10 and Modern sonic is 15, sonic boom is 17 and sonic the movie its 19
Sonic forces shouldn't be considered canon. There's too much inconsistencies in it. I think present/modern Sonic should be about 16 or 17 years old.
Maybe classic sonic might be 10
1 year in our world is 1 month on Mobius
classic sonic: 11-13
Dreamcast sonic: 15
Modern sonic:16-18
Edit: for clarification these are headcanons/opinions
They are all the same age they are all 15

@@PhoneCrab oh sorry
@@Sean_thebean nah it's alright mate
Also I was 12 when making that
If he was 15 in 1991 he would be almost 43 now.
That makes sense.
No he doesn't age
Sonic the Hedgehog was actually 14 in Sonic 1, then turned 15 in Sonic 2, so he actually did age, just not alot.
so he 17 now?
@@jamone5851 no he doesn't age
@@Sean_thebean Think he did bro it wouldn't make sense he is taller in sonic boom and didn't age. Think about it.
@@Sean_thebean This was 3 years ago lol
@@jamone5851 boom sonic is sonic from another dimension
Classic Sonic: Sonic 1 - Sonic 2 and CD (10/11) Sonic 3- Sonic Jam (16 years)
Dreamcast Sonic: 15 years
Modern Sonic: Sonic 06 - Sonic Colours (15 years) Sonic Generations (16 years) Sonic Forces (17 years)
Boom Sonic: 17 years
Classic, Dreamcast and modern are the official ages. Boom Sonic, i don't know XD (sorry for my bad english)
I always like to think of classic sonic as 8-10 years old, Dreamcast era sonic as 15-16, and modern sonic as 18-20
Modern sonic is 15 and classic sonic is 8
Finally some one who knows they don't age
In the Japanese version of Forces Infinite doesn't say Decade, it was simply put in as a reference to how old the franchise is. Sonic is at least 16 years old despite what SEGA says.
Classic sonic: 6
Dream cast sonic: 15
Modern sonic: 26
Sonics adventures take place over at least 20 years because infinite says decades. Which means it's at least two decades.
CHARACTERS DONT AGE
Looking back at this video in 2022 it’s revealed that modern sonic and classic are from two separate dimensions but some times they are from the same universe
