The first public appearance of Sonichu.

Christian's Favorite Hits! is the fateful CD which sparked the creation of the Internet's favorite Sonic recolor OC, Sonichu.

Volume 1

Tasked with creating a jewel-case insert for graphic design class at high school, Chris found himself once again fighting for artistic freedom of expression. The draconian rules of the assignment- that he avoid using copyrighted images, required Chris to get creative.

“ On the fateful day on March 17, 2000, I wanted to feature on my Favorite Hits CD Cover life-long hero, Sonic the Hedgehog, and cute newer character, Pikachu, but Copyrighted Characters were prohibited from the project.

So, in my mind, I pondered and pondered when it hit me visually; Sonic and Pikachu combined.

”
Chris, being creative.[1]

Chris claims to have gotten an A+ on the assignment.[2] The other characters on the cover are Christian's original Pokémon Espanolic, Koffingroo, Plautistic, Buggzap and Strongtire. Note, many of the other drawings on the cover are also uncreative combinations of Pokémon and other objects, such as the halo floating above Chris's head.

“ HE IS NOT JUST A POLYMERIZED pair of Game characters; He is his own Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon Self, and I have my own circled "C" on him, so there. ”
Chris, clearing up any misunderstandings.[3]

Unsurprisingly, the CD tracklist is a very liberal interpretation of what constitutes a hit.

The tracklist.
This CD contains many of my favorite songs from many CDs. The order of the songs are in order by the type of music/game in which it originated. In order, it goes as followed:

1st. Sonic music (I love that Hedgehog).

2nd. Pokemon music (I like the video games and the TCG game)

3rd. Mario music (I like the MarioKart64 and Star Fox 64 games).

And 4th. Classic Jazz (I enjoy a cool, jazzy beat).

And the order repeats till the 21st song; it finishes with two Sonic songs. All in all, all the songs are many of my favorite hits!

Chris made a second CD, and illustrated a cover for it on 27 July 2000.

After making my last CD, time flew by, and more music came into my world. I have made this CD, which has many more of my favorite songs, to ad more of my favorite songs on a 2nd disc.

There is a different order of types of songs, and another type has been added. In order, it goes as followed:

1st. Sonic Music (I like that Hedgehog).

2nd. Pokemon Music (I like the video games, and the TCG game)

3rd. Classic Jazz (I enjoy a cool, jazzy beat).

and 4th. Today's Rap/Rock (I enjoy it, but my Father does not).

And the order repeats till the 23rd song; it is a final Sonic Song. All in all, these are many more of my favorite hits! 8)
