Sonic the Hedgehog Virtual Items- All of the items here are virtual, meaning that they exist only in games or online areas and not in the physical world. You can see fan made and professional virtual items here. Usually in the case of fan-created things the engine to do it is in a professional game (such as customizing a character in a certain Sonic way) Everything from collectible icons to statues will be found here. What other sorts of virutal goods could turn up as the internet and games become more advanced? SonicGear will showcase them all.

					Here's a video of another sort-of virutal item sort-of fan item. In the wrestling game GPW, you can really get in to style the fighters, with skin paint and head accessories. So, using the character creator, this fan has made a Sonic and an Espio fighter and you can watch them wrestle. Sonic vs Knuckles and Shadow vs Vector are also available. All videos made by: ZRo22
						Usually actual Sonic Games aren't covered on Gear, but these un-released characters are sort of like virtual items. This game is Sonic the Fighters Arcade (a console still remains in LasVegas USA) but most of them were in Japan. With very polygonal graphics, it was early 3D. However, several characters were left out of the final game. Now that the game's ROM has turned up it has become possible to explore the entire game, even the parts that no one was meant to see.
This is interesting, because you can see things that didn't make it in...thus "Virtual Items"! With this video you can see several, including another version of Metal Sonic, Eggman in a power suit, some kind of fatter Eggman...and a feature-fight with Honey The Cat. She appears to be an all-new character they just skipped over, unlike the other items which were just other versions of things that DID appear in the final. Video discovered by SugarCube123
			Here are some Little Big Planet 'costumes'. They're buy-able add-ons for the game which make your sack-boy look like the Sonic characters seen at left. Since it's LBP...the characters are all re-styled to fit that style, with the button eyes, zipper, and large lower-face area. This rather abstract-ifies Eggman (bottom right). You can buy each one, or get the whole pack of them at once. People had already been making Sonic-like levels and items in the user-content creation & sharing part of the game (you can even see videos of that in the Video Entertainment area of SonicGear) so these costumes are a great virtual addition and will provide lots of fun for the fans!
