Owing to his naivety, Silver also has no idea of how to engage in more informal conversations with others when Sonic tried trash talking with Silver during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, the latter took many of Sonic's statements so literally that Sonic noted that he took all the fun out of such banter. Blaze comments on this several times and describes him as naïve and insecure when he is alone. According to his character profile in Sonic Generations, he is an optimist, though as stated by himself during the Phantom Ruby incident, he is also a realist.Īlthough seemingly serious on the outside, an interview states that Silver is young and somewhat immature. He makes alliances and rivalries very easily and takes people's word without question this makes him easily tricked by others. This led him to accept Blaze when everybody else was teasing her for her pyrokinetic abilities. He believes in standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.
Silver is best described as having "a strong sense of justice" and it is this personality trait that motivates him to head back into the past to correct the future. Silver's profile, from the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Generations. The rest of his boots are navy blue, white, and cyan. The tops of his boots are of a similar fashion with a red gem set in gold. He has two large spines at the back of his head, while at the front of his forehead there are five distinct spines flared up and back, the two outermost ones almost completely obscuring his ears.įor attire, he wears white gloves with cyan circles with lines sticking out of the bottom leading to his golden bracelets accented in cyan. Silver is a very light gray (almost white) anthropomorphic hedgehog with white fur on his chest surrounding his neck with gold eyes and tan skin. While developing the character models and textures, they focused on using the hardware to develop the textures rather than just using simple white-gray, which led to Silver's color and name. Orange was originally used for his fur for exploration, but they soon moved away from that in favor of a white-gray fur. The next thing to do was choosing the color of the character. After much discussion, the team finalized Silver as a hedgehog. However, the developers ultimately decided against this, fearing a mink would not blend in with the rest of the characters. From this idea, the team pursued the idea for a mink named "Venice" ( ヴェネツィア, "Venice" ?), after Venice in Italy, the place Soleanna is based on. When the team first started and had no idea what direction to follow, someone came up with the idea of a character with Sonic's scarf-like hair, but in more volume. The design team developed over fifty different concepts for the character before reaching his final look, where early sketches included a hedgehog-like animal wearing a futuristic headset and markings on its hair. Wanting to incorporate features emphasizing Silver's abilities, the team sought to give the character new attributes that no other Sonic characters had. During the development of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) in 2005, another action game Sonic Team developed, yet later canceled, named Fifth Phantom Saga featured core gameplay mechanics that focuses on the use of abilities similar to Silver's. Įarly concept sketches of Silver, featuring Venice (bottom left).Īccording to the Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection interview with Sega developer Shun Nakamura, Silver's abilities were originally designed for a different action game with the character not meant to make an appearance. Shiro Maekawa based Silver's character on Future Trunks from the Dragon Ball series. Early drafts describe Silver as having "special powers" of unknown origin drawn from the Chaos Emeralds, but this was rejected in the final game. This lead to Silver being given his psychokinetic powers. With a new physics engine giving a lot of depth to the game experience, they decided they wanted to include a new character with unique abilities for an alternate way to play through the levels. Silver's creation was inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) early development stages, where the development team was making huge levels with multiple paths through them.
