− | Mighty |
+ | '''Mighty the Armadillo''' is a supporting character in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' franchise. Mighty is an explorer who wanders the world, and while a pacifist, he is willing to fight if necessary. |
+ | In his first appearance, ''SegaSonic the Hedgehog'', he was voiced by Yūsuke Numata. |
||
− | ==Concept and creation== |
||
− | Before Sonic the Hedgehog was introduced to the gaming industry, one of the character concepts, an armadillo, was considered as one of mascot choices for Sega to be introduced in new video game series to success in console market business against Nintendo. On the interview of “SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis: The Collected Works” book, Yuji Naka stated that an armadillo and a hedgehog were two of the choices for experimenting with further ideas for a fast character. The armadillo was quickly amended to the hedgehog due Naoto Ōshima's hedgehog illustration being very stylish and best to represent speedy qualities. From this standpoint, Naoto Ōshima designed Sonic the Hedgehog to be new mascot for Sega. |
||
− | |||
− | Several years later, Sega reused the armadillo character and created Mighty the Armadillo for the arcade game SegaSonic the Hedgehog and later in Sega 32X title Knuckles' Chaotix. |
||

+ | Mighty is an armadillo, who has red thick fur. His ears are side facing the funnel-shaped like the real-life's armadillo. Also, Mighty has light skin complexion on his body underneath and around his fur. His shoes look identical to Sonic's. |
− | |||
− | In fact at SegaSonic the Hedgehog arcade game, Mighty's shoes were almost identical to Sonic's ones, as sneakers were red with white socks and white straps without golden buckles. Later his shoes were slightly altered in Knuckles' Chaotix, as a pair of shoes are red, having white socks and white shoe soles. Instead of straps, Mighty's shoes have white overlay lines. |

==History== |
==History== |
||
− | ===SegaSonic the Hedgehog=== |
+ | ===''SegaSonic the Hedgehog''=== |
+ | Mighty has very little backstory in his first game appearance. Captured alongside Sonic and Ray by Dr. Eggman, ''SegaSonic the Hedgehog'' sees the trio attempt to escape Eggman's Prison Island while avoiding death-traps. |
||
− | Mighty's first appearance is in the arcade game SegaSonic the Hedgehog, where he was captured by Dr. Robotnik along with Sonic the Hedgehog and Ray the Flying Squirrel. They were taken to Eggman Island and imprisoned, but they made their way through the island's defenses. After the trio got to the control room of Eggman's Tower, Robotnik activates self-destruction of island. Despite that, the whole cast manages to get out of Eggman Island, which got destroyed in the process. |
||
⚫ | |||
− | In this game, Mighty played exactly like Sonic and Ray; he was fairly fast and could roll into a ball to perform the Spin Jump. In the game, he was voiced by Yūsuke Numata. |
||
+ | Mighty returned in the 1995 32X game ''Knuckles Chaotix'', having travelled to Newtrogic High Zone only to be captured by Dr. Eggman. He is subsequently freed by Knuckles the Echidna alongside Espio the Chameleon, Vector the Crocodile and Charmy Bee, and works with the rest of the cast (including former Eggman mechanics Heavy and Bomb) to put a stop to Eggman's plans. |
||
+ | ''Knuckles Chaotix'' had an unusual development period, in that it was originally set to star Sonic and Tails, only for other characters to be substituted in as replacements. Mighty was inserted in the slot previously reserved for Sonic, and both looks and behaves similarly to Sonic's appearance in the ''Chaotix'' prototype, ''Sonic Crackers''. Mighty can perform a wall jump move, though is arguably one of the least effective characters in-game, given that Espio can run up walls, Knuckles and Vector can climb, and Charmy can fly. |
||
⚫ | |||
− | === |
+ | ===''Sonic Mania Plus''=== |
+ | After 23 years of absence, Mighty returned as a playable character alongside Ray in ''Sonic Mania Plus'', a definitive version of ''Sonic Mania''. In this game, Mighty has a move known as the Hammer Drop, which is a downward slam attack, and his shell can protect him from enemy attacks whenever he is curled up. He can also bounce off spikes harmlessly, but only once per jump. In Encore Mode, he is trapped in a capsule with Ray in Angel Island Zone and has to be rescued by Sonic. If the player collects all seven Chaos Emeralds, Mighty can become Super Mighty. |
||
− | Mighty makes his next appearance in Knuckles' Chaotix for the Sega 32X. In the Japanese manual, he just happened to stumble across the island which the adventure is set on during his explorations. In the English manual, he is a friend of Knuckles the Echidna, and happens to visit "Carnival Island" when Robotnik attacks. |
||
+ | ==Cameo appearances== |
||
− | In both manuals he is captured by Robotnik, and imprisoned in his Combi Catcher machine. When Knuckles arrives, he can pick Mighty out of the machine and use him as a partner. Mighty plays very much like Sonic from the previous Sonic games, using his Spin Attack and Spin Dash. He also has the ability to kick off walls in order to gain height. |
||
+ | Mighty has made a guest appearance in the Sega Saturn title ''Gale Racer'', where alongside other ''Sonic'' characters, he appears as a toy that swings from side to side in the player's cockpit. He also makes a cameo appearance in ''Sonic Generations'', where he and Ray can be seen on a "Missing" poster in City Escape. |

He had some trouble to keep his half-crazed father, Blockhead Bill, under control. |

In the scene where rescues Ray, he has a brotherly relationship with him that's inherently similar to Sonic and Tails.' There's even a moment in the last episode of ''Mania Adventures'' where after he punches Metal Sonic away from Sonic, he teams up with the him to take down Metal Sonic and Eggman. After the evil duo were (unexpectedly) defeated by Knux, Mighty eats chili dogs with Sonic and Tails which shows that he's happy to join in on Sonic's activities. |

Mighty can use the Spin Attack where he curls tightly into a concussive ball while in locomotion to damage, mow down, or burrow through obstacles and foes. He also has the Spin Jump, during which Mighty jumps into the air as a ball. Mighty has the Spin Dash (originally named the "Super Spin Dash") as well, which allows him to charge up a Spin Attack from a standing position, and then shoot off towards enemies. |
||
+ | Mighty, as is his name, is super-humanly strong. Powerhouses such as Knuckles, E-123 Omega, and Big the Cat are no match for the strength of Mighty. Mighty can easily lift an object like a car and throw it 100 yards. |

− | Mighty's unique move in Knuckles' Chaotix was a Wall Kick that let him kick off a wall, gaining some height and letting him traverse up shafts as long as the walls are close enough to each other. In North American manual of Knuckles' Chaotix, Mighty is described having super strength. Despite his namesake, this has been never demonstrated in any of his games appearances until ''Sonic Mania Plus''. |
