Violence
Physical violence and minimal gun violence.
Characters often physically fight each other. We see punching and kicking sometimes characters are crushed. For example, characters are thrown through walls, and are hit by moving vehicles.
There are robots that fire missiles, lasers and bullets at Sonic and his friends. Often, we see explosions.
Offensive language
Characters makes puns without saying offensive words. For example, a character mentions "piece of shiitake planet". Very low level and minimal.
