Let’s dive into the high-speed world of Sonic the Hedgehog and see who really owns this blue blur.

Short Answer: No, Nintendo Does Not Own Sonic

Nintendo does not own Sonic. Instead, Sonic is the fast and spiky brainchild of Sega, a different video game company. Sega introduced Sonic in 1991 as their answer to Nintendo’s Mario.

Despite being seen on Nintendo platforms, Sonic remains a Sega superstar. This partnership lets Sonic fans enjoy his adventures on Nintendo systems, but Sega keeps the rights.
