Why is Sonic Blue in Color?

Many of you may have wondered when you first played Sega's mascot Sonic that why am I controlling a blue hedgehog and why for God's sake am i collecting rings?? Well that's a theory that will be discussed later, but for now lets focus on his unique color.

Sonic's blue tint was due to a lab experiment that went wrong involving hedgehogs! According to the longest comic book series originating from a video game this is quite true as can be seen by the pictures. Sonic was an inhabitant of the planet Mobius along with Dr.Eggplant the antagonist of the series and a few other lively characters. His signature blue color and supersonic speed occurred when Dr.Eggplant or Dr.Ovi Kintobor as he was called in those days experimented with a hedgehog and a pair of sneakers that somehow became one with the hedgehog and gave him that speed. Of course every action has an opposite reaction so his speed had to come with a side effect, so LO AND BEHOLD we've got a blue pincushion.

Jokes aside though I personally think that his blue skin makes him way cooler than his picture above. He almost looks naked without it (even though he never wears clothes - where does he keep his rings I wonder, hmmm wink wink easy to reach butt hole).

The weird part is that someone becoming blue is completely sane and logical. This is where the science part comes. There is a disease people suffer from called Methemoglobinemia where the skin becomes blue due to high levels of methemoglobin ie. metHb or ferric (Fe 3+) instead of ferrous (Fe 2+) in their blood.This ferric ion has an increased affinity towards bound oxygen but its overall ability to bind itself is decreased since Oxygen has a charge of 2- making it easy for it to bind with Fe 2+. So this ultimately leads to an overall reduced ability of the red blood cell to release oxygen to tissues. Thus forming deoxygenated RBCs blue in color (Haemoglobin gives blood its red tint).

   PAPA SMURF IN REAL LIFE???

So it could have been probable that the experiment rearranged Sonic's circulatory and respiratory system which also proves why he can run so fast without getting cramps. We get cramps when we start respiring without oxygen (anaerobically). This happens when we are going through physical exertion, our cells require energy to work and it gets this energy by burning Glucose.
This is the chemical reaction:- Glucose    breaks down to     Lactic acid + Energy

This lactic acid accumulates in the muscles and causes cramps, after exercise we feel breathless because of the Oxygen Debt created. Our liver requires excess oxygen to get rid of the lactic acid and that's why we pant so much, but Sonic doesn't. This proves my theories so far. Also the fact that Sega's symbol is blue in color therefore its not a surprise that even its mascot is blue.
