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?

Yes, it's him.

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

Thank you SO much to the Sonic team for letting me voice Irish the Hedgehog! They’re so fun to work with and I really appreciate how willing they are to make stuff like this happen.

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!Thank you @HyperPotions and @crush40 - they made a totally new version of "Escape from the City" which you can hear playing!— Aaron Webber (@RubyEclipse) March 17, 2020
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!
