It is Sega's flagship franchise, one of the best-selling video game series and one of the highest-grossing media franchises, with over 183.13 million copies sold as of February 2025 and current revenue exceeding $6.45 billion. Sales of the series and downloads of free-to-play mobile games reached 1.77 billion in 2024. The Genesis games have been described as representative of 1990s culture and are considered among the best of all time. Although later games, such as the 2006 title, received worse reviews, it is influential in the video game industry and is frequently referenced in popular culture. The franchise is known for its fandom, which produces unofficial content such as fan art and fan games.

Recurring elements of the Sonic series include a ring-based health system, level-based environments like Green Hill Zone, and fast-paced gameplay. The games typically feature Sonic setting out to stop Eggman's plans for world domination, with the player traversing levels that include hot springs, slopes, bottomless pits, and vertical loops. Later games added a wide cast of characters. Some, like Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Shadow the Hedgehog, have starred in their own films. The franchise has crossed over with other video game series such as Mario & Sonic and Super Smash Bros. In addition to video games, it includes comic books published by Archie, DC, Fleetway Publications, and IDW Publishing; animated series produced by DIC Entertainment, TMS Entertainment, Genao Productions, and Netflix; a series of live-action films produced by Paramount Pictures; and toys, including a line of Lego building sets.

The series centers on the titular character, Sonic the Hedgehog, an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog. It also features a large supporting cast of characters, including Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Rouge the Bat.
