In the film, he comes to Earth to escape a threat back on his home world, traveling with the assist of magic rings that can open portals to other planets. The rings are one of many elements the films includes from the video games, only they're tweaked in social club to fit the movie'south narrative. Still, while not the most accurate of video game adaptations, Sonic the Hedgehog does manage to perfectly capture the chaotic free energy of its star.

Sonic the Hedgehog'due south score is composed by Thomas Holkenborg, the Mad Max: Fury Road composer meliorate known to many as Junkie XL. Sonic'due south score never quite reaches the high octane levels of Holkenborg's previous scores, but information technology'due south a good fit for the blue furry speedster all the same. As for the songs featured in Sonic the Hedgehog, here's every one that plays in the movie:

  • "Friends" - Hyper Potion
  • "Don't Stop Me Now" - Queen
  • "Flight of the Valkyries" - Jim Carrey
  • "All Fired Upwardly" - The Lazys

  • "Catch Me I'thousand Falling" - Kelly Finnigan
  • "Dark-green Colina Zone" - Jon Batiste
  • "Speed Me Upwards" - Wiz Khalifa,Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty, and Sueco the Child

The first song heard in Sonic the Hedgehog is definitely i for the fans. The melody is "Friends" past Hyper Potions and information technology is the opening theme for the game,Sonic Mania. In the flick, the song plays as Babe Sonic is racing around on his domicile planet. Afterward on, Sonic is living in secret on Earth, and beginning with a scene in where he takes a turtle on a high speed run and leading into a montage of Sonic's daily routine, Queen's archetype "Don't Stop Me At present" plays. Non long after, Dr. Robotnik is introduced and at one betoken tin be heard whistling a snippet of Richard Wagner's "Flight of the Valkyries".

While Sonic and Tom are on the run, they make a stop at a roadside bar called the Piston Pit. While in that location, Sonic checks off a few items on his bucket list while a drove of rock and state songs can be heard, including "All Fired Upwards" by The Lazys and "I'chiliad Turnin' 'Em Up" by Wyley Randall. A bar fight also breaks out at the Piston Pit, during which Sonic moves and so fast he leaves everyone else continuing nevertheless. Accompanying this scene is the track "Boom" by Ten Ambassadors. The moving picture next checks back in with Dr. Robotnik as he experiments on i of Sonic's quills while dancing to "Where Evil Grows" by The Poppy Family.

In the film's final act, Sonic again moves at super speed through a scene where Tom and Maddie are falling from the roof of  the Transamerica Pyramid building and Robotnik fires a barrage of missiles. Kelly Finnigin's "Take hold of Me I'k Falling" plays through the scene, but Sonic fans will also recognize the little tune the hedgehog plays when banging on the frozen missiles as the level complete music from the video games. One time Robotnik is defeated and life returns to normal in Green Hills, Montana, Jon Batiste's jazz rendition of the game'south "Dark-green Hill Zone" vocal is heard. And finally, "Speed Me Up" past Wiz Khalifa,Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty, and Sueco the Child - a song written specifically for Sonic the Hedgehog and containing many Easter eggs to the game serial - plays over the moving picture's credits.
