Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Clip Has Fans Freaking Out Over Mystery Character

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of Sonic adventures under my belt, I must say, the latest development in the Sonic universe has me intrigued! The mysterious pink-haired woman seen in the promotional materials for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a tantalizing enigma that’s been stirring up speculation among fans since 2022. Her appearance in the TailsTube video series and now, seemingly, in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has left us all scratching our heads.


The marketing push for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 by Paramount is at its peak, and fresh TV advertisements have surfaced. These ads contain scenes not shown in the initial two previews, which is quite thrilling. Yet, sharp-eyed viewers have spotted something intriguing in one of these commercials, igniting discussions among Sonic enthusiasts online. In one TV ad, a perplexing pink-haired woman appears in an electronic billboard in Tokyo. Although this character doesn’t have a name as of now, she has been the subject of speculation among Sonic fans for almost three years.

The TailsTube video series on YouTube began in March 2022, initiated by Sega. In the first episode, Tails clarified some long-debated aspects of the game world, providing fans with insights about how humans live alongside Sonic and his friends in this Earth-like universe. A crowd of generic human characters were shown, but a distinctive pink-haired woman caught everyone’s attention. Her design resonated strongly within the fan community, leading to an outpouring of fan art and whispers that she could potentially make an appearance in games like Sonic Frontiers.

A snapshot from the latest commercial for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was posted on Bluesky by Sonic Stadium, accompanied by a side-by-side comparison with an earlier TailsTube video clip. You can find this in the post embedded right here.

It’s worth mentioning that this particular character hasn’t been seen in any official Sonic media since the original TailsTube short. Yet, she’s popped up unexpectedly somewhere new. Given this, fans can’t help but speculate about the situation. One popular theory suggests that the character could be related to Maria Robotnik, perhaps a niece. Interestingly, Sonic x Shadow Generations hinted at Maria having a sister. However, if Shadow was in suspended animation for 50 years and then reappeared, this pink-haired character might be too young to be Maria’s sister. On the other hand, being a niece could fit the puzzle pieces better.

In a nutshell, it’s plausible that the filmmakers secretly included a tribute or inside joke, known as an Easter egg, in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 as a nod to fans. This theory might not be thrilling, but given the movie’s history, it’s a possibility. For instance, the first Sonic movie had the controversial “Sanic” drawing, so more fan-inspired elements could be expected. With Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hitting theaters on December 20th, we may get some clarification ahead of time!
