Recast English Voice Actors in SxSG

Since Sonic Generations‘ original release in 2011, the Sonic franchise has shuffled its voice cast (pun intended). As a result of Sonic x Shadow Generations’ brand-new dialogue, many original voice actors have been replaced to match their modern portrayals.

Colleen O’Shaughnessey now voices Tails in place of Kate Higgins. She first portrayed Tails in Sonic Boom in 2014 and continues to serve as Tails’ primary voice actress, including in the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. O’Shaughnessey was also present in the original Sonic Generations as Charmy Bee, which she reprises in Sonic x Shadow Generations.

Dave B Mitchell voices Knuckles instead of Travis Willingham. Mitchell has been Knuckles’ voice actor since Team Sonic Racing in 2019. You may recognize him as Dyne from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Pulcinella in Genshin Impact, or Sektor in Mortal Kombat 1.

Bryce Papenbrook replaces Quinton Flynn as Silver. Like Knuckles, Silver was recast in Team Sonic Racing, though this is Papenbrook’s first performance as Silver in a mainline Sonic title. Bryce Papenbrook is best known for his role as the English voice of Eren Yeager in Attack on Titan and Kirito in Sword Art Online.

Finally, Erica Lindbeck replaces Laura Bailey as both Blaze the Cat and Omachao, who were recast in — yet again — Team Sonic Racing. Lindbeck is known for iconic pop culture roles, such as Futaba Sakura in Persona 5, Loona in Helluva Boss, Black Cat in Spider-Man 2, and Barbie in various modern Barbie projects.

New Voice Actors in Shadow Generations

Shadow Generations features characters who haven’t appeared in a Sonic title in over a decade — sometimes two. While these characters weren’t featured in the original Sonic Generations, most have new voice actors since their original appearances in past titles.

Before Sonic x Shadow Generations, Mephiles the Dark had only made a voiced appearance in the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), played by Dan Green. Robbie Daymond portrays Mephiles in SxSG, best known for his continuous work as Spider-Man in various animated Marvel projects, Goro Akechi in Persona 5, and Megumi Fushiguro in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Black Doom has also had a singular voiced appearance in Shadow the Hedgehog, where he was portrayed by Sean Schemmel (the English voice actor for Goku). Instead, Benjamin Diskin voices Black Doom in Sonic x Shadow Generations. Diskin has made a previous Sonic appearance in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric as Q-N-C but is most recognized for portraying Joseph Joestar in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and Numbuh 1 in Codename: Kids Next Door.

Maria was voiced by Moriah Angeline in Sonic Adventure 2 and by Rebecca Honig in Shadow the Hedgehog. In Shadow x Sonic Generations and its companion anime, Maria is portrayed by Stephanie Sheh, the iconic voice actress for Hinata Hyuga in Naruto and Orihime Inoue in Bleach.

Lastly, Mike Pollock, the iconic voice of Dr. Eggman, continues to portray Professor Gerald Robotnik since replacing Marc Biagi from Sonic X onward.

Sonic x Shadow Generations is available now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
