Sonic the Hedgehog

More context

The headlines point to Sonic’s influence showing up in both game design and entertainment history: one article compares a new art-focused game to Sonic, while another looks back at the pre-Sonic era when Hollywood was hesitant to take video game adaptations seriously. One unrelated headline also mentions a Sonic Resonator in Subnautica 2, but it appears to be about an item name rather than Sonic the character.
