Collin the Speedy Boy is a action-adventure game series developed by Warner Bros. Entertainment in 1993. Sega sued Warner Bros. because they thought it was a ripoff of Sonic the Hedgehog. However, Sega later lost the suit and later teamed up to include Sonic characters in some CTSB crossover games. It's success led to new games, TV series, films, a comic adaption and even a online game.

The film adaption was released on Feburary 7, 2020 and was a critical and commercial success.

Every CTSB games are developed by Konami (1993-1999), Eurocom (2001-2012, except for Flappy: The Protector of AnimalWorld, which was developed by Rare), Warner Bros. Games (2012-present) and Avalanche Software (2017-present)

Info
When a Teary eyed destroys Alabama, a teenager named Collin and his friends forms a team called The Speed of Light in order to fight the Teary Eyeds and the Elefishes with the help of the fingers and a talking opossum.

History
After being influenced by Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. back in 1988, Warner Bros. wanted to make their own game series. Planning of what their game series should look like lasted for 3 years till 1991, after seeing SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog. After seeing it, Warner Bros. came up with a idea that is a mix of Sonic and The Flash, but they try their best not to ripoff Sonic.

Planning stages started in 1988, and designs were drawn. Collin was originally going to be a orange anthromorphic mouse named "Mousey" and was to grab and throw stuff at enemies. Next year, Mousey was scrapped and was replaced by a porcupine named Spikey, but was immediately removed to avoid lawsuits when they release it. Finally, in 1991, after seeing influcenes from Sonic the Hedgehog, they decided to create a another fast character for the series. Mousey, at first, was revived, but with speedy powers. However, later, the team decided to make the main character a human, and Mousey was reworked to be a human and prepared to be renamed. They have several name ideas like Jordan, Blake, Brandon and Mickey. However, the next day the team need to chose a name, one came up with a name that is named after the British actor, named Collin Brady aka Collin the Speedy Boy. Therefore, Collin the Speedy Boy was born.

To avoid lawsuit with Collin having the ability to spin jump and spin dash (which is kinda reused later in production as roll), Warner Bros. are chosing which powers Collin can do besides having supersonic speed. Several ideas include carrying stuff and throwing it at enemies (which Mousey previously had), using his fists to punch enemies, turn enemies to balls, and shooting at enemies. Yet, they chose to give him a ability to shoot at enemies, but they needed to find him a weapon. Originally, they considered giving him a gun that shoots out laser, but they found out that it might frighten the children with the gun's realistic appearance, so they changed it into the bracelet where he can shoot. They also decided that he would have a grappling hook built in with the bracelet.

Next thing they would need to do is come up with a antagonist, (Reserved for KKDisney or Donaldo) (w.i.p)

Trivia

 * The saga will be incapable of breaking the fourth wall.
 * If the saga succeeds, the saga may have a feature film soon.
 * Sometime back in 1998, Sega sued Warner Bros. when they thought Warner Bros ripped off Sonic, however, that company lost the suit, and as a result, WB continued producing Collin games.
 * On 2014, There was a joke made by one of the CTSB directors of an M-rated Conker or Rockstar Games-styled CTSB game. (Don't worry, there will be no M-rated CTSB game.)
 * Aside from that, the company Rockstar Games stated if they were to make a CTSB, they have to keep it cartoony instead of realistic like their own games and make it more family-friendly, like other CTSB games through they're planning to add their own features from their own games, as they are gonna try to differentiate their games from this, including certain problems like Uncanny valley. Later, as they were dared to make a kid-friendly game, the company chose to collab with WB to make a CTSB game.
 * However, three years later, Ruegger expressed interest in doing a M-rated CTSB game.
 * Although the modern designs were introduced in 2000, those weren't used until 2001.
 * Also, the items' new designs weren't used until 2008 despite the characters' design change in 2001.
