As well as videogames, SEGA’s iconic blue hedgehog has enjoyed huge success in areas such as comics, apparel and toys and even starred in his own animated series.
SEGA Corporation will be celebrating this special year in style with events around the world, details of which will be released throughout the 20th anniversary year of 2011.

I've started anticipating the 20th since the 15th. I hope Sonic's 20th will be the most memorable, eventful and successful monument in the Franchise.
