Remember the infamous kiss in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)? You know, the one where Knuckles stands awkwardly in the background as Princess Elise the Third plants her delicate human lips on Sonic’s tiny little hedgehog face? Well, if Sega’s Takashi Iizuka has his way, that’ll never be happening again.

“I don’t think we’ll be doing that again”, Iizuka said. If you’ve never seen the moment in question, check the video at the bottom of this page – it’s certainly… something.
