What order should you watch Sonic the Hedgehog?

For most viewers, release order is the recommended way to watch Sonic the Hedgehog. This is how the story was crafted and revealed to audiences — earlier films seed details, callbacks, and twists that pay off in later entries. Watching in release order preserves those reveals and matches the pacing the filmmakers intended.

Sonic the Hedgehog largely tracks its own in-universe chronology, so release order and chronological order overlap closely. You can use either without losing much, though release order is still the safest first watch.
