Or the ++ version of a hedgehog franchise

Sonic was a hedgehog in a video game. Older people might get that reference.

Inspired by a Sonic the Hedgehog level.

A running hedgehog? Please, in the name of God, tell me you named him Sonic.

"Nu, Pogodi" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8uFylzinW0 ) is more popular I guess, but "Hedgehog in the fog" has its own kind of charm...

Sonic the Hedgehog knows what's up.

Sonic the hedgehog I think... Referencing Chaos Emeralds.

it also uses a penguin as the mascot...

It's a tie in product to a popular cartoon series.

CRConrad | karma 2469 | avg karma 0.51 · | 2021-11-26 08:45:34

Or Shauns.

(Oh holy fucking mother of Baa[l], only now it struck me that the name of the animatronic series by the Wallace-and-Gromit guys is of course a play on Shorn the sheep!)

And all the derivative versions of that featuring every type of animal and cartoon character.

That would probably get renamed the pooh variant.

sown | karma 3029 | avg karma 2.96 · | 2010-04-10 09:04:04+00:00

Or Paddington Bear's Island Adventure?

COAGULOPATH | karma 257 | avg karma 5.35 · | 2023-11-21 22:47:32

Of course they would. The internet spent a solid month laughing at the Sonic the Hedgehog movie because Sonic had weird-looking teeth.

I'll back it if it comes with that awesome bugs bunny sound track.

Well, the castle is a little bit to the left, and the trolls are in closer and only two of them instead of four martians, but yeah fairly similar, but also different. Taxi and Road Kings are a closer pair, but older, I guess.

And then you've got stuff like High Speed and High Speed 2, or Pin-Bot and Jack-Bot. Or Shrek and Family Guy, I think it is?

Well hell. I quite liked Hipmunk.

Wow I had no idea Knuckles was supposed to be an echidna! Ha

godfreyantonell | karma 63 | avg karma 1.4 · | 2021-05-26 20:33:24+00:00

Or Bugs Bunny for that matter.

the_common_man | karma 1279 | avg karma 2.11 · | 2019-07-02 20:15:30+00:00

Isn't that Sonic?
