Sega Marks Sonic 35th Anniversary with Tokyo Metro Train and Ikebukuro Exhibition
The anniversary rollout leans on Tokyo Metro infrastructure and a PARCO exhibition space rather than a game release, putting the brand's 35th year in public transit and retail venues across Tokyo.

Sega announced a Sonic the Hedgehog 35th anniversary project with Tokyo Metro starting October 5, 2026. A wrapped Tozai Line 15000 series train with six Sonic era designs runs through November 4. A free digital stamp rally runs October 9 to November 1 at four Tokyo spots, a 24-hour commemorative ticket goes on sale for 700 yen, and the exhibition "SONIC the Exhibition -ACROSS GENERATIONS-" is set for Ikebukuro PARCO.
The wrapped train, called "Sonic the Hedgehog Go," carries six Sonic designs representing different eras on a single Tozai Line 15000 series trainset. Model manufacturer Greenmax plans a model train reproducing the same wrapped car, with release timing, price, and sales method to be published on its official website.
The digital stamp rally is free and runs at four spots: PARCO FACTORY IKEBUKURO, SEGA STORE TOKYO, the Subway Museum, and Kua'Aina Tokyo Skytree Town Solamachi Store. Participants who complete all spots receive an original paper craft, limited to the first 3,000 people across the PARCO FACTORY IKEBUKURO and Subway Museum locations, and 10 people chosen by lottery win a collaboration stainless steel bottle.
