Hedgehogs can roll themselves into a ball, so we decided to go from a rabbit to a hedgehog. I remembered a character I had thought about years ago who could roll himself into a ball and slam into enemies.

Yuji Naka, head of Sonic Team, recalled in 1992:Īt first we used a character that looked like a rabbit with ears that could extend and pick up objects. Ristar developed from an idea originally put forward during design talks for the character who would later become Sonic the Hedgehog. It can be unlocked by playing 30 times of Blue Sphere, Knuckles in Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Flicky. On Sep 13, 2010, this game was released on Steam.
