Sonic the Hedgehog debuted in Sega's 1991 game and became a pop-culture icon through games, cartoons and the anime series Sonic X, which aired in the mid-2000s. The phrase 'gotta go fast' grew out of his speed-obsessed personality and became a lasting fan slogan, shortened online to GGF. Meme editors adopted it for compilations, speedrun clips and anime edits on YouTube and TikTok, where the line works as shorthand for anything moving at full speed. Its short length keeps it useful years later.
