Re: How many eyeballs does Sonic have?
There's two irises, that's enough to assume two eyes no matter the art-style. Pacman has only two pupils but we're normally pretty sure they count as eyes, right?
Although, I guess it could be aesthetically distracting. I'd be okay with redesign.

Re: How many eyeballs does Sonic have?
I always saw it as the art style design used on sonic originally, they just never changed it for some reason. And now for some reason its become a hedgehog thing.
You have no idea how hard I try to pretend their eyeballs look normal. When I think about it too hard I'm like "WHY DID THEY DRAW THEM THIS WAY." Especially when I try to draw sonic characters.

Re: How many eyeballs does Sonic have?
I always tried to imagine them as two eyeballs that are so close together that you cannot see the line that separates them.
What is my life anymore?

Re: How many eyeballs does Sonic have?
I really wish I could find better pictures for this!
Anyway, occasionally the Hedgehog's eyes are drawn in such a way that would imply the white fur mask thing (like Piplup has), so when they blink just their irises disappear. Although this just looks weird on non-hedgehogs, as Tails demonstrates, it would help show that Sonic's eyeballs are not connected together. However, this varies with the art style, and we only see it on Sonic occasionally. Probably because it's "too cute"- Amy's eyes are like this far more often than Sonic's, and Shadow's eyes NEVER work like that.
Of course the 3D games pretty thoroughly suggest one hug eyeball, with all the space between Sonic's brow and muzzle animated to resemble sclera, not fur. Of note is the fact that Sonic's eyelids have changed color over the years. Sometimes they are the same color as his muzzle; other times the same color as his forehead. Which just raises more questions about what color the fur around his eyes would be, if he had any.

Re: How many eyeballs does Sonic have?
Good point. Pacman's eyes are fairly consistent. Sonic's on the other hand are exactly as you say. Maybe Sonic's look is in need of shoring up to go along with Sega's Sonic game-making revitalization period, if you will.

This, but for some reason, I believe his pupils can travel to the other side of eyes. Like the left goes to the right, and vice-versa.ShadowXUnicorn wrote:Crash32 wrote:Crash32 wrote:Oh come on. Why does everyone say that? HE HAS 2 EYEBALLS. 2 EYEBALLS.

Re: How many eyeballs does Sonic have?
I am going to side with the "Hedgehogs have conjoined eyeballs" camp, at least for Modern SegaSonic and Sonic X, and possibly several of the non-Japanese-origin Universes within the Sonic Multiverse.

Re: How many eyeballs does Sonic have?
^I ate so many of those when I was in Kindergarten to 3rd Grade. There's like a 2 in 15 chance them actually being correct.
Every other time it's a train wreck. They tasted good though. The ice cream, I mean. The gumballs themselves were horrible.
Yeah, he has two eyes. They're just extremely close to each other, and looks like they're one eye.
I'd be too hard for him to move his pupils if they were one. And his sprites and stuff show a indent from prominent to at least a little bit there inbetween his eyelids.
I mean, why would he have 2 eyelids, if he only has 1 eye?
That said, Knuckles proceeds to destroy this theory in Sonic Riders by moving his eyes all the way around his head. Then he closes them without blinking. But this is probably just for comedic effect.
Similarly to how chao can close their eyes without blinking, when they clearly close them when they sleep.
