The ソニックX theme song (known primarily in Japan as "SONIC DRIVE") is used in every episode of the aforementioned anime.
As with many other Japanese animated series, there are various other arrangements of the theme song depending on the region.
SONIC DRIVE[]
Japanese[]
- Singers: Hironobu Kageyama and Hideaki Takatori
This opening theme, titled "SONIC DRIVE" is used in the original Japanese version of the series. It is used for all 78 episodes in the series. During the show's original run, it was used from 6 April 2003 to 28 March 2004.
There are two opening cinematics for the song, one for the first half of Series 1 and one for the remainder of the episodes.
In the Italian dubbed edition of episode 69 published on the TIMvision streaming service, "SONIC DRIVE" was used instead of "Gotta Go Fast".
This version is also retained in the Thai dub, with an added title voice-over.

Gotta Go Fast[]
English[]
- Singers: Joseph Garrity and Russell Velázquez
This version, entitled "Gotta Go Fast" (also referred to as the "Sonic X Theme") is used in the 4Kids Entertainment English dub of ソニックX, as broadcast in its country of origin, the United States. It is used for all 78 episodes in the series, during the show's entire original run in the U.S. from 23 August 2003 to 6 May 2006.
The full version is played during the intro and a shortened version is played during the end credits for all English versions.
A version of the song ran during commercial breaks as a music video of the band playing along with clips from the show. This version, alongside the original version, is featured on the album Music From 4Kids TV.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Gotta go fast, gotta go fast, Gotta go faster, faster, faster, faster, faster Movin' at speed of sound (make tracks) Quickest hedgehog around Got ourselves a situation, stuck in a new location, Without any explanation, no time for relaxation!

Chop! Chop! Chop! With speed, with power Run fast, fast, fast! Run fast as always Nobody can compete with you Sit in front of (the) TV and watch Persian Toon You haven't seen this much of adroitness and intelligence anywhere! Chop! Chop! Chop! Chop! Sonic!

Sonic!) With speed! With power! Runs fast! Fast! Fast!
Please provide Persian lyrics if you can
Persian (Wave Studio)[]
- Singer: Issak Assadbeigi / اسحاق اسدبیگی
This intro is remixed and remastered from the original Parsian Translation House theme song, thus retaining most of the same lyrics and vocals. However, one line about "watching TV on Persian Toon" is redubbed so it can say "Namava" (the service that hosts this dub) instead.
Wave Studio has stated through Instagram that they were provided the PTH opening theme by Farzad Shirmohammadi Aziz and Issak Assadbeigi.[2]
Unlike its PTH counterpart, this opening theme uses SONIC DRIVE as its footage.[3] Because the length of that opening is 30 seconds longer than the 4Kids intro, the opening is poorly looped on the service that hosts the dub. A 1-minute version is hosted on Wave Studio's Instagram.
Portuguese (Brazil)[]
- Singer: TBA
This version is used during the end credits only, therefore only a shortened version of the theme was ever dubbed. The actual opening for the dub uses the European version.
Tem tem tem tem tem tem que ser! Tem que ser muito muito muito muito rápido! Na velocidade do som (sai da frente) Curtindo de montão Cada vez uma surpresa Não pode dar moleza Sonic, esse é o cara Sonic, ele tá na área, olha olha lá (Sonic X) Sonic, Sonic Tem que ser muito muito veloz! Tem que ser muito muito muito muito Sonic X!

Spanish (Latin America)[]
- Singer: Claudio Ledda
This opening theme appeared for only 3 episodes during the Argentine-dubbed era. The rest of the episodes retained the song from the European version. The English version of the "Gotta Go Fast" theme is also used in the end credits for the first two seasons (like most of the dubs), while in the third season, a shortened version of the theme dubbed by Ledda is used instead.
Corre, corre, con fuerza y velocidad, velocidad Como un rayo vuela, corre corre corre No hay nadie más veloz Verás Más ágil y precoz Él enfrenta situaciones Todo y complicaciones Sin temor ni condiciones Sin dar explicaciones Ya, ya, ya, ya, lo ves Él es Será será Y corre corre corre Corre, corre, corre más Corre, corre, corre más Sonic, es el mejor Sonic, es superior Sonic, es el erizo Miren ¡Es Sonic X! Velocidad ¡Sonic! Velocidad ¡Sonic! Como un rayo vuela, corre corre corre Corre corre con fuerza corre ¡So... (¡Sonic!) nic... (¡Sonic!) X!

Speed Sonic! Speed Sonic! Like lightning flies, run run run Run run run with strenght So... (Sonic!) nic... (Sonic!) X! like lightning speed like lightning flies Run run Sonic X!
Sonic X (Jetix style intro)[]
- Singer: TBA
"Sonic X" is the opening theme of ソニックX used in Partial Eurasia (and sometimes France [on Jetix] and Italy [outside of Italia 1]), Australia and New Zealand, sometimes Ibero-America. It is used for all 78 episodes in the series.
This theme is used in most dubs of the series, and due to the simplicity of the lyrics, it was never redubbed in any language that used it. Though some versions did bother to include a title voice-over (including Czech, Georgian, Norwegian, Russian, and European Spanish), despite the title being the same as what is being sung.
The ending theme in the said versions of the show is Gotta Go Fast.
Sonic, X! (Sonic X!) Sonic, Sonic X! Sonic! X! Sonic! Sonic X! Sonic X! Sonic, X! Soniiiiic! Sonic X! Sonic X!
Sonic[]
Not to be confused with Italian theme of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. |
- Singer: Giacinto Livia
"Sonic" is the Italian opening theme song of ソニックX. It was used in all 78 episodes when the dub aired on Italia 1. The cinematics show all different episodes from the show.
The song would later be included on the Cartoonlandia Boys album, published on 25 November 2005.
When the dub aired on Fox Kids/Jetix and, originally, K2, the Jetix style version was used. When episodes 53-74 aired on K2, the U.S. theme was used instead.[4]
Sonic lotta contro il male Sonic (X, X) Sonic (X, X) Più veloce che mai, il nostro eroe, non si tira indietro se è nei guai! Quanti robot sconfiggerà! (Sonic..)

Other versions[]
Persian (Avaye Mandegar)[]
There are two versions in the Persian Avaye Mandegar dub of the series, which is hosted on Filimo, and also some DVD releases.
The first version uses the European intro, but is notable in that the voice-over person evily laughs after saying the dub's title. The Persian dubbing staff is then read out as the intro plays. At a certain point, the audio loops back to the beginning, briefly, just because the title appeared on screen again.
The second opening is completely unique, using a different instrumental than any of the other versions, one in which mostly no dialogue is being spoken; like the first intro, dubbing credits are soon read out while the song plays, and a title voice-over is spoken at the end. Parts of the European intro can be heard during these parts, likely because they did not want to read the credits again.
The second opening theme is overlaid onto the 4Kids version of the footage.
