It's Sonic the Hedgehog's 30th birthday tomorrow, which is pretty impressive, since it's around 8 times the usual lifespan of a hedgehog. But the big news isn't that Sonic is potentially immortal — it's that Sonic has been, er, "yeeted" into Minecraft.
Yes, the video game character famous for turning into a sphere and collecting circles has been recreated in Minecraft block form by Gamemode One Inc., and is ready to collect Chaos Emerald blocks and hang out with Tails, Shadow, Amy Rose, and Knuckles.
The Sonic/Minecraft collab is the latest DLC available for Minecraft, with all the Green Hills Zone levels and hidden secrets that you know and love from the Sonic series. And even better:
The Chao Garden is back.
Could this be the "exciting news" that Sega was holding back earlier in the year? Well, it's either this or a full remake of Sonic Adventure 2 with extra Chao content, right...?

Ok I might actually re download minecraft for this!
Better than Sonic Forces.
I swear I spent half my childhood in the chao garden
That- that actually looks kinda fun
@BirdBoy16
Looks like a bunch of super narrow empty corridors
I don't even care about Minecraft, but this looks some really quality DLC!
@SalvorHardin whatever you say
@SalvorHardin ya that's sonic
Did I hear Chao Garden?
Where's my wallet?!
Are the other characters playable? We've not been able to play as Amy since Sonic Heroes! 😢
So is this compatible with the other Minecraft packs, like Super Mario and Adventure Time?
@Clyde_Radcliffe
They are
It's like they turned Sonic Robo Blast 2 into a real game.
Honestly, the fact that Sega has been sitting on a potential money pile with the Chao garden without capitalising on it really baffles me. Anytime you talk to a Sonic fan, the Chao garden is always seen as a highlight. Although I guess Sega has never really been known for good decision making.
Which one will Sega wise up and do first:
1) A Sonic game with Chao Gardens back in full force
2) Skies of Arcadia HD/Remake
3) Panzer Dragoon Saga Remake
4) A port of Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 to your smart-toaster so you can have another version of these games to play while you wait on your toast.
My money is on 4, but I'll take any of the first three.
@burninmylight Choosing the 4th, for sure. The 1st I can happily accept and also choose tho.
Man I love the Chao Garden. That music pure gets me right in the heart.
my cousins have been asking me to get on Minecraft forever now. I may do it for sanic
they brought back the chao garden but the only thing you can do is pet the chao.... thats it. no races no evolution no chao lobby just the garden and chao themself that cant do anything. they just randomly spawn in the hub area and show up in the garden if you go there. and it glitches.
I think I'll play this on the XBox One X. I mean, it makes sense because of the greater processing power than the Switch.
Sonic > Mario
It’s not his fault he’s had a string of bad games.
how do i download the sonic stuff
dont like minecraft but...chao garden hmmm....may get
