In the weeks before the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, comedian and actor Ben Schwartz sat down with Polygon to confront the shadows that lurk in every hedgehog.<\/p>\n

In this, the third installment of the Polygon x Ben Schwartz Sonic Interview<\/a> Series<\/a>, each question has its own, more existentially challenging \u201cshadow question.\u201d Ben tackles them with a vigor and enthusiasm fitting of a Guy Who Is Sonic Sometimes.<\/p>\n

Ben talks about aging, hurting, growing as a person, Jeff Fowler\u2019s directorial finesse, Final Fantasy dream roles, search engine optimization, and who gets what on their chili dog. He also has some startlingly late revelations about Sonic\u2019s sidekick Miles \u201cTails\u201d Prower.<\/p>\n

Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which also stars Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba, Colleen O\u2019Shaughnessey, Tika Sumpter, and James Marsden hits theaters on Dec. 20. You can check out our full review right here<\/a>. And if you haven\u2019t, go watch our previous installments:<\/p>\n
