** Sonic's snarky and more comedic characterization was once widely embraced by the fanbase, seen as perfectly fitting in with the game's DenserAndWackier tone and tone, hearkening back to how he was portrayed in English language media in TheNineties and generally giving him some of the funniest lines in the game, most famously "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!". However, over time, the games of the decade would return to this characterization, regardless of whether it fit the tone of the game. This is largely due to the growing prevalence of fans who grew up with the serious and melodramatic stories of the mid-late 2000's ''Sonic'' games (most notably ''06'' and ''Black Knight'') joining and receiving a bigger voice in the fandom, This would in turn lead to many fans going back to the original portrayals in ''Colors'' and ''Generations'' and viewing them with a more critical lens, with many feeling that it made him more immature than funny at best and an uncaring {{Jerkass}} at worst; with many singling out the "Baldy [=McNosehair=]" gag[[note]]a name coined by the Wisps that Sonic finds really hilarious[[/note]] as an example of bad humor. Greater knowledge of the Japanese scripts (which portrayed him closer to how he was in previous games) did little to help.
