Spelunk is the antagonist-turned-supporting character of the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. He is a mole who lived in the Marble Zone, mining for treasure.

He was voiced by Jay Brazeau.

Biography[]

Spelunk is the most removed mole from society ever seen. He hoards a massive amount of treasure and anyone that gets near it will never be able to see the surface world again. Spelunk appears in "Subterranean Sonic" as he stops Sonic and Tails from getting his treasure and then tries to kill them with a cannonball, but they manage to avoid it. The cannonball ends up trashing Scratch and Grounder. Sonic and Tails come across minecart tracks which they assume will lead them out of the underground tunnels. They run along the tracks, but are stopped by an angry Spelunk coming straight at them in a minecart. Sonic and Tails try to outrun him when they notice a family of turtles crossing the tracks. Sonic dresses as a crossing guard and stops Spelunk, allowing the turtles to cross the track.

Running up a flight of steps, Sonic and Tails have almost reached the surface. Spelunk realizes he's been tricked by Sonic and pulls a lever which smooths out the staircase. He traps Sonic and Tails into a cage which the bars are made from diamondius, the hardest substance on Mobius, so Sonic cannot cut through them.

Spelunk blames Sonic, saying this never would've happened if he hadn't set foot in his domain and opens a pit in the cage by where Sonic and Tails are being left to die. The cave crumbles and a large diamond breaks the cage open, freeing Sonic and Tails. Robotnik, Scratch and Grounder fall into the pit.

With the cave crumbling, Sonic decides to escape, but Spelunk doesn't want to leave his treasure behind. After Sonic saves him from being crushed by a falling boulder, which was from Robotnik digging into the cavern, Spelunk has a change of heart and allows Sonic and Tails to leave.

Spelunk says he's never met such greedy, miserly jerks before in his life, but Sonic and Tails point out that he is one himself. Spelunk thanks Sonic for showing him the error of his ways and he decides to use his fortune to buy chili dogs for Sonic and Tails. As they walk, Sonic, Spelunk, and Tails see Robotnik, Scratch and Grounder on top of the rising geysers.

Spelunk later reappears in "Hero of the Year" that he attended a banquet in Sonic's honor.

Personality[]

Initially, Spelunk was mean, selfish, and greedy who not were trusting of anyone. His evil nature that he was willing to capture and destroy anyone who trespassing the Marble Zone and do anything in order to keep his treasure for himself and regarded the treasure buried in his cave as his only friends. However, after Sonic risked his life to save his, Spelunk realized the error of his ways, becoming much more friendly and charitable.
