Crossword Genius

Game hedgehog going at some speed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sonic

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'game hedgehog' is the first definition.
(video game character Sonic the Hedgehog)

'going at some speed' is the second definition.
(as in a sonic boom)

(Other definitions for sonic that I've seen before include "Relating to sound waves" , "Relating to the speed of sound" , "Kind of boom" , "Using waves" , "Type of boom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
