10 Legendary Video Game Heroes You Won't Recognise Now

5. Sonic And Knuckles

Sonic And Knuckles The Hedgehog
Sega

This is the easiest entry on the list if you were actually challenging yourself to see who you could remember - but just look at Sonic Boom's iteration on the legendary blue blur.

From hand and foot-wraps that are completely pointless (how does wrapping his shoes do ANYTHING?!) to a brown scarf and slicked-back spikes, the Sonic of the present day has absolutely zero of the peace symbol-throwing attitude of his former's self.

Oh, and since when was Knuckles the big, dumb bruiser of the group?
