There's been a couple sonic threads, but nothing's linked in the sticky, so here's an official one.
Sonic has been Mario's archrival for decades, and Mario vs Sonic has been the subject of endless speculation, flash animation, and even poetry.
Sega and nintendo have been on good terms since the Dreamcast was defeated by Sony, and the creater of sonic (forgot his name right now) has been quoted saying he would like it if Sonic and Mario were in a game together. Considering the door to 3rd parties has been opened by Snake, who's creator "begged" for him to be put in Melee, Sonic's towering reputation and fanbase makes his inclusion almost a given.
Some here have said they don't want sonic because they feel he would have similar moves as Jigglypuff. These people have obviously only ever seen the Spindash, and not any of the countless othe moves he's had in his games.
I have taken the time to assemble a complete moveset to show these people how wrong they are.

Sonic would be a fastfaller
Sonic would NOT spin during his jump, saving that for one of his moves.
Sonic's Crouch would reduce traction. If sonic is moving while in a crouch, he curls up into his ball form. when it finally comes to a halt, then he enters a more conventional crouch-cancel position.
Neutral air: Classic spinjump
Back air: hedgehog spine attack (Sonic leans back a bit, and his entire backside becomes a hitbox. Very subtle)
Down air: a flipping kick-spike, similar to Mewtwo or Samus, but faster.
Foward air: spins and kicks foward, with good knockback (seen in shows)
Up air: backflip.
A: fire braclet- sonic punches for flame effects
Up a: Sonic leans foward a little, and his entire backside becomes a hitbox.
Tilt a: a really short roundhouse kick.
Down a: Sonic does a small foward kick.
Up B: Hidden Bumper: launches sonic upward (any game)
Side B: Homing Attack: works like C.Falcon's ^B, but knocks straight away, is aimable to a certian extent, and if it hits he can recover again. (Sonic Adventure, SA2, Sonic Heros, Shadow the Hedgehog)
Down B: Bounce: sonic spins straight down like yoshi or bowser, but instead of landing lag, he immediately launches back into the air. (Sonic3, SA2)
B: Fire Tackle: sonic launches foward, surrounded by flame (Sonic 3)
Downsmash: Swings feet foward, then back, while balancing on a hand
Upsmash: Fireshield (sonic 3)
Sidesmash: Spindash (ANY game): Sonic ends the attack in the Run animation.
Dash a: The Sonic Rush "turbo"- similar to shiek's dash attack, but about 2-3 times as long, and he comes out still running.
Grab: Magic Glove(SA2) While being held, a character is shrunk, just like when GW is throwing someone.
grab A: Sonic squeezes the shrunk-character ball
F-Throw: Weak, but with a Flat foward trajectory. (SA2)
^Throw: Sonic Tornado: (Sonic Heros) Sonic tosses opponent lightly upward, and spins around and makes a Smash64 style tornado with opponent inside. (fastfallers might be able to tech out before the tornado forms, at lower %age)
vThrow: sonic drops them to the ground, then does a spindash charge on them.
B-Throw: Carry, just like Dk's move, except Sonic moves (and falls) faster. (SA2)
ALTERNATE B MOVES
B: Sonic Wind (projectile, with upward knockback)
Fsmash: Flame tackle
vB in air: Bounce
vB on Ground: Spindash
