I assume what they did was (considering that this is cartoon physics)
make Sonic's quills sharp when he wanted or needed them to be. :) If
not, noone would've been able to hitch a ride on Sonic's back, period.
As for the wind generation and other associated forces with the high
velocity, well...Hedgehog doesn't have a nav deflector array. How any-
one stays on is anyone's guess. Rack it up to cartoon physics again.
