This morning I got an e-mail from Sega, announcing that one of the ways they’re planning on celebrating Sonic turning 20 is by having him show up in giant form at this year’s Macy’c Thanksgiving Day Parade. Pikachu was there last year and was a big hit, so good luck to Sonic!

SEGA is thrilled to announce the 20th Anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog is today! On this momentous day, we have some fantastic announcements and assets to celebrate Sonic’s exciting milestone.

Seeing Sonic fly high in the sky during this year’s parade in NYC is one of many activities that have been planned this year to celebrate Sonic’s 20th Anniversary.
