He's the real Sonic I swear.

"Sonic" (better known as 2017 Sonic.exe) is a take on the original 2017 Sonic.EXE initially created on May 18th, 2022 as a concept doodle, before later being refined by Raven, the owner of the 2017 reboot continuity. This take was originally made to be the retake created by Raven. It was later downscaled to be specific to the Friday Night Funkin’ mod, Sonic Legacy. Despite that, he is currently treated as a replacement for the original 2017 Sonic.EXE.
