Sonic the Hedgehog was released in 2006 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as a reboot for the series' 15th anniversary. The game became infamous for long load times, camera problems and numerous glitches, which turned many of its sounds and scenes into meme material online. Short effects from the game were ripped, extended and reposted on soundboards so editors could use them without the original cue cutting off too quickly. That extended format is why this version continues to circulate among Sonic fans and meme editors.
About this sound
Extended sound effect from Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, the divisive platform game. Creators use it for retro game edits, fails and nostalgic meme moments.
This is an extended version of a short sound effect associated with Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, often called Sonic 06. The clip stretches a brief in-game cue into a few seconds, making the hit easier to place and loop in an edit than the original split-second version. It carries the bright, synthetic tone of mid-2000s Sonic games, instantly signalling fast action, a menu action or a glitchy moment. Because Sonic 06 is remembered for its bugs and awkward moments, the sound often lands as a joke as much as a genuine game effect.
