branding is largely reserved for their namesake franchise.

However, they have produced other well-known games besides their namesake series. Other titles they have developed include ''VideoGame/NightsIntoDreams'', ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline'', and ''VideoGame/{{Ristar}}''. They would also become the developers of the ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' series beginning with ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoFever'' after Sega had bought the rights from Creator/{{Compile}} a couple of years prior. Since UsefulNotes/TheNewTens, however, the Sonic Team branding is largely reserved for their namesake franchise, with other games developed by the team being credited to Sega as a whole instead.

Sonic Team is a Japanese video game development team and a subsidiary of Creator/{{Sega}}, founded in 1990 by Creator/YujiNaka and Naoto Ohshima and headed by Eigo Kasahara since 2008. The team was formed with the express purpose of creating a mascot for Sega to compete directly with Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]. The studio was initially composed of 15 staff members, called Sega [=AM8=], and these 15, with the leadership of Oshima and Naka, produced the original ''VideoGame/{{Sonic The Hedgehog|1}}'' for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis. The game was an instant success and instantly propelled Sega to being one of the top video game companies in the industry. Sega [=AM8=] later renamed itself after their BreakthroughHit, calling itself Sonic Team.

As suggested by their name, they are best known for creating and developing the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' series. Sonic Team works directly on the main series console games and supervises development on spinoffs and handheld titles in the series developed by other companies.
