Such is the allure of this character that modders have integrated him into various other games for their own amusement. So, players who want totry playing as Sonicin other titles will be well-serviced by the following list of unique and, at times, hilarious mods.
10Sonic - Knuckles - Tails For Grenades (Resident Evil 4)
Resident Evilis the last place whereanyone would expect Sonic to come up. However, modders have found a really clever and funny way to bring this character and his friends into a game that many people consider to be the bestResident Evilgame of all time.
There are three kinds of grenades that players can get their hands on inResident Evil 4— the flash, incendiary, and hand grenade.This modturns the texture of all three grenades into a figurine of Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails, which is pretty hilarious indeed.
9Sonic And Tails (Resident Evil 5)
While the mod forResident Evil 4was pretty funny, it was also pretty low-key. That isn’t the case withanother mod for its sequelthat adds Sonic and Tails into the game as playable characters!Chris is replaced by Sonic, while Sheva is replaced by Tails. It makes for a pretty hilarious change that is bound to elicit a ton of laughs while playing co-op with a friend.
8Sonic The Stone Imp (Doom Eternal)
Doom Eternalis one of the most hardcore games ever made…which, obviously enough, makes it the perfect target for modders to defile with a bunch of out-of-place mods that give this title a rather bizarre feel.

The best example of this isa mod that changes the Stone Imp to look like Sonic the Hedgehog. Does this fulfill a purpose? Absolutely not. Is it funny? Definitely.
7Sonic The Hedgehorse (Stardew Valley)
Speaking of horrible fusions between established creatures and Sonic’s design,another mod comes to mind fromStardew Valley. This game is a blast and truly shines on PC with the whole host of mods that have been released for this great title.
One such mod that players can use for a fun time isSonic the Hedgehorse. It turns out that riding this version of Sonic is just as horrifying and funny as one would imagine.
6Sonic Replace N-Rappy Suit (Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis)
Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesiswas a great way to bring attention back to a series that has remained dormant in the West for quite some time. The game might be slowly picking up steam, but already has its fair share of unique and wacky mods on the PC.
One such modreplaces the N-Rappy suit in the game with a Sonic bodyswap. It’s a hilarious and novel way to play through this open-world game which is rich and lush with detail.
5Sonic The Hedgehog (The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim)
It was only a matter of time beforeSkyrimwould appear on this list. The game is notable for being one of the most actively-modded games of all time, with the sheer litany of fan-made customizations for the game being simply immense.
One of these modsadds Sonic as a playable character in the game. This Sonic is based on the movie version and has a few unique tricks up his sleeve that makes controlling him a lot of fun in the game.
4Sonic The Hedgehog (Guitar Hero: World Tour)
TheGuitar Herogames are some of the best titles that fans of the rhythm genre had a great time with. It’s a shame that the series has been in limbo for quite some time, but the old titles still have a charm that fans can enjoy.
The fact that players can also download mods for this game shows that the community is decently active.This mod adds Sonic the Hedgehog as a band memberinGuitar Hero: World Tour, which is pretty novel indeed.
3Sonic Dante (Devil May Cry 5)
Devil May Cry 5is one of the best hack-and-slash games to have come out in quite some time. The combat and visuals of this game are truly in a class of their own, and it’s easy to see why so many people love playing this title.

The PC release of this game also benefits from mod support, includingthis truly insane one that swaps Dante’s model with that of Sonic. Suffice to say, watching the blue hedgehog destroy enemies in his path is a sight that never gets tiring.
2Sonic Over Daigo (Yakuza Kiwami 2)
Daigo Dojima is one of the major characters in theYakuzaseries who appears across almost all its installments. He’s also voiced by Roger Craig Smith in the original English dub,who also plays the role of Sonic.
So, it was only a given that a modder would make a massive leap in logic and decide thatreplacing Daigo with Sonic inYakuza Kiwami 2would be a great idea. For what it’s worth, the goofiness present in theYakuzagames means that Sonic isn’t even that out of place, to begin with!
1Sonic Boom NPC (Blade & Sorcery)
Blade & Sorcerysees the player pitted against several enemies who need to be taken out with a combination of both conventional weaponry and magical abilities. It also has mods that help players customize almost everything in the game…including the looks of the enemies they face.
So, a fan who hated the redesign of the blue hedgehog inSonic Boomdecided to put this model in the game as an enemy. Now, players frustrated by this character design can beat the ever-loving snot out of it until they’re satisfied.
