This year, the St. Patrick's Day for Sonic community was different from usual - we got to meet a special character Irish the Hedgehog! Fully voiced!

Do you recognize the owner of the voice?

One year later, Irish the Hedgehog is real.

So yes, it was Jacksepticeye, a popular Irish Let's player!
Were you able to understand his Irish accent?

Many people contributed to this project as listed by Katie of the social devision:

Honestly one of my favorite projects so far.

A big THANK YOU to @thesketchsector for bringing Irish to life, @HyperPotions and @crush40 for remixing a classic, and @Jack_Septic_Eye for the inspiration, voice, and for following through on our crazy idea!

Everything is canon. 🍀 https://t.co/17SG0Ne72E

A wonderful moment one-year in the making! So many people to thank: @Jack_Septic_Eye for ideas, adding to the lines, and bringing Irish the Hedgehog to life with his voice! @thesketchsector for tons of work to create the art! You nailed the Adventure-style perfectly. https://t.co/wnYtqnmrOl

Thank you @HyperPotions and @crush40 - they made a totally new version of "Escape from the City" which you can hear playing!

Sonic Team in Japan gave us great feedback on the art, and finally, thanks @KatieChrz and @ThormannJustin who put the final touches to bring it to life!

It was a fun project which started from a joke. The Sonic Team of US is great at picking up fan projects or memes and turning them into something we can all enjoy!
