Sega announced Sonic the Hedgehog is coming to IHOP, with the restaurant offering meals based on characters and digital Stack Market rewards. The Sonic, Tails, Amy Rose, Knuckles, Shadow, and Dr. Eggman meals, gift cards with the characters on them, and rewards tied to recent games will appear apparently until May 5, 2024.
First, there are six meals. Most of them are intended to be eaten at breakfast, though there are also some more general and dessert-like items. Sonic’s Blue Blur Special involves blueberry pancakes, while Shadow’s Chaos Chocolate Pancakes involves chocolate chip pancakes. Tails’ 2x2x2 gives people two eggs, two pancakes, and either two pieces of bacon or sausage. Dr. Eggman’s Benedict involves poached eggs with ham and hollandaise. Amy’s Sweet Strawberry Delight is the dessert, as it involves taking a waffle and putting vanilla ice cream, strawberries, and chocolate on it. Finally, Knuckles’ Chicken Sandwich is a basic chicken sandwich with avocado, bacon, cheese, lettuce, ranch, tomato, and onion rings on the side.

As for the digital rewards like Sonic the Hedgehog games and DLC, those can be accessed in the IHOP app. If you go to the rewards page, you can use the PanCoins you’ve earned from eating at the restaurant to acquire items. I checked the Stack Market app page and didn’t see any items yet as of time of writing. However, Sega noted people will be able to get digital copies of Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Origins, and Sonic Syperstars, as well as a Sonic Superstars Amy Rose DLC costume. Normally, the Bank of Pancakes rewards involve free food.
IHOP also announced that it will have Pepsi Maple Syrup again, as well as offering a float version of it.
