Sonic The Hedgehog (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Sonikku za Hejjihoggu?) is a video game character and the protagonist of a series of video games released by Sega, as well as numerous spin-off comics, cartoons and books. The first game in the franchise was released on June 23, 1991 (also Sonic's birthday) in order to provide Sega with a mascot to rival Nintendo's flagship character Mario.[3] Since then, Sonic has become one of the world's best-known video game characters, with his series having sold over 45 million copies.[4]
Artist Naoto Ōshima, designer Hirokazu Yasuhara and programmer Yuji Naka are generally credited with the creation of the character,[5] a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog, whose ability to run faster than the speed of sound[6] is a major part of the gameplay of the series.[7]

Kirby (カービィ, Kābii?) is a fictional character who has been the star of a number of namesake video games developed by HAL Laboratory, and has also become a popular anime character in recent years.
Kirby has appeared in over twenty games since 1992 and has starred in his own animated series. The Kirby series has sold over 30 million units worldwide. The core games of the series are platformers that follow a loose timeline matching the release order. They typically begin with an evil force threatening his home of Dream Land (Pupupuland プププランド) on the planet Pop Star, most often the greedy King Dedede or mysterious Dark Matter. No matter the odds, Kirby sets off to defeat it. The main games always have Kirby with the same basic abilities- he can walk, run, jump, float, and inhale and spit out or devour his enemies. Following Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby was able to gain the abilities of the enemies he swallowed, such as Fire, Sword or Fighter.
In the various side games, Kirby sometimes diverges from his platforming style, his round shape allowing him to be the ball in Kirby's Pinball Land, or rolling around in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble / Canvas Curse. He retains his signature Copy Abilities, which can often be used for special effects.
Most of Kirby's games adhere to the same basic idea behind Kirby's creation - that his is a series for beginners, not only children. As such his games can be beaten by a player of nearly any age, but offer deeper challenges for more experienced gamers.
