Good news for Sonic fans on Xbox Live!
Six new Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Avatar items are now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace! From Chaos Emeralds to a Genesis-styled Sonic 4 cartridge, there’s all sorts of awesome contained in these new goodies. All six items, in detail:
- Chaos Emeralds – They’re shiny, they float, and they’ve saved the world more than just a few times. Now you can have all seven hovering around your very own avatar.
- Toy Chopper Badnik + Fish Bowl – A cute little robot pirahna that wants nothing more than to swim around and chomp off whatever’s closest – including your finger. (We included a bowl to make owning this pet a little safer.)
- Toy Motobug – Wind him up and watch him charge, bravely and gloriously, straight ahead! While Motobugs are most well known for their unfaltering ability to keep moving forward, at least until they turn around, this one can also cut some corners and might just chase you down.
- Sonic 4 Cartridge – One of our favorites! Now you can hold the power of Sonic 4 in a convenient, Genesis-sized game cartridge. We even included a certain oldschool seal of quality.
- Sonic 4 T-shirt – If you’re looking for a new addition to your wardrobe, this T-shirt is sure to please. Simple and effective, it’s black with the Sonic 4 Logo on the front.
- Sonic Plushie – Attack of the cute! This Sonic plushie is a nice collector’s item and is sure to fire up your avatar’s imagination. Highly recommended for girlfriends, moms, and anyone with a love for adorable and awesome mixed together.
We hope you all enjoy the avatar items. On behalf of the entire Sonic 4 team – Happy Holidays!

Look amazing! Would surely be more in the Christmas spirit if they were free though. I’ve never had to pay for my presents before…

Awesome! I think I’ll get the shirt. And just a little reminder SEGA… Sonic 4 for iOS never got an update…

NICE! But I think there should be more plush characters.

Homing Attack killed all hope of this being the first good Sonic game since Sonic and Knuckles.
I honestly wonder what’s wrong with some people when **** like this happens.

Yeah, actually. Really thinking about it. I have a couple of idea’s for Avatar items that are NiGHTS related if a port did happen -
NiGHTS’ hat
Prop – NiGHTS plushie (or a mini NiGHTS flying around)
Prop – 5 coloured Ideya orbs floating around your Avatar
Prop – Sparkles could fall from your Avatars hands, (like NiGHTS does)
Prop – Nightopians could sit around your Avatar and sing
If the port ever does happen then please consider this, even if it’s a highly unlikely chance it would happen. I would love to have Ideya orbs.
Ah man, i hate it when i get inspired to see stuff that i’ll probably never see.

@Dreamcaster – Alright first of all, homing attack made it funner. And Secondly, Sega made the levels in Sonic 4 where by you have the OPTION to actually USE the homing attack. I bet you anything you can complete a stage of Sonic 4 without even using the homing attack.

I’ll take the Chaos Emeralds. Already have a Sonic T-shirt, although this T-shirt looks like the one I have in real life.

Sonic52789 – That’s correct! With only a few exceptions, you can complete pretty much the entire game without the homing attack.
As to NiGHTS – some cool ideas DiGi!
Agreed that a real Sonic 4 cartridge would be equally awesome.

The only Sonic 4 content I will ever consider to buy in the future will be a reworking of the game engine.
(Where was the seal of quality on Sonic 2k6?)

SEGA Members: Why am i hearing rumors about 3-4 new Sonic games in 2011?
And what about the rumor about if Sonic Colors sells well, you’ll make it for XBox 360 and PS3 for better graphics?

Having played almost every major Sonic game on every console imaginable I cannot find anything wrong with Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Redesigned Sonic looks just as good if not better than “Classic Sonic” & moves and game styles change with every release. There is no way to please everyone.

I’m in love with them already!

I keep this being funny. You expect us to pay for advertisements on our avaters?
It’s like asking “Sign up for a premium account on Youtube, pay 5 bucks a day and we put our advertisements on your video’s”
Other then that, they sure look great except the t-shirt. But paying that much for something u can’t use or has any reason, isn’t on my christmas list

Gonna call malarkey on that one. Sonic Colors doesn’t need better graphics, it’s fine the way it is. Really, shouldn’t be too picky about graphics, as they’re not important and don’t make a good game.

I’m sorry to bother you here, Sega, but i have a problem with sonic 4 on my iPod. I haven’t been able to play one level because it always crashes during the loading screen. I just wanted to know if your going to release an update to fix this because i really like the game but i can’t play it.

Luis – check our support team at http://help.sega.com – personally I don’t have that issue, so I’m not sure it’s a 100%-everyone-has-it kind of thing.

How about something for PSN users? Why are we being left out? Honestly, this would be the only reason for me to get an Xbox. That and Mass Effect.

@Jade Gryphon: Geez… I was just asking! And `sides, I want to try it on XBox 360. If you’re going to make fun of me than how about this: did you notice Sonic’s head shadow is covering all of his shadow?

These avatar items are awesome!!! One thing I’d like, even though it’s not related to this article, is for Jazwares to make a classic Sonic figure complete with classic badniks such as Chomper, Motobug and Buzzbomber. Also maybe make a classic Dr. Robotnik/Eggman (complete with Eggmobile) too! =D

I’ve gotten the whole costume from the game and the chaos emeralds since they match the costume, I keep expecting my avatar to go super everytime the prop emeralds pop up………
………THE CHAOS EMERALDS IS A LIE! O_O
