The embarrassingly titled sequel to Wreck-It Ralph, Ralph Breaks the Internet, releases next month. While the follow-up to the arcade and video game reference packed original is trading nostalgia for hip and trendy internet references, at least we will get some video game cameos. SEGA mascot Sonic the Hedgehog appeared a few times in the first movie, and he returns here with dialogue once again provided by Roger Craig Smith.
Footage of the cameo had been floating around the past few days, but it was a truncated and cropped version of the above video. Fans online have noted how great the animation on Sonic is, and I totally agree. He looks and sounds great! Such a shame a year from now we have that Sonic movie releasing where he will be in the real world and voiced by a different actor. Oh well, enough negativity from Old Man Barry… enjoy the clip!

Does this mean Ralph will be a character on Team Sonic Racing? If you think about it, after Ralph came out he made a VIP character on Transformed. I can easily see him on Team Sonic Racing.
No, it doesn’t mean that it’s going to appear in another Sonic spin-off game, but at least this time Wreck-It Ralph is with a crossover game with Pac-Man called “Pac-Man: Ralph Breaks the Maze”, although unfortunately you have to pay each character $1.99 (but thinking it well, in the first days it was worse with the previous price of $6.99).
