<p>I think you're refering to what's commonly known as <a href="http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Sonic" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Super Sonic</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/Jgsgf.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/Jgsgf.png" alt="Super Sonic from Sonic X"></a></p>

<p>Sonic has had the ability to turn into Super Sonic using <a href="http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Chaos_Emerald" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Chaos Emerald</a> since the 2nd game. Various media have handeled this transformation in various ways (see the Wikia-page linked above), but in general he's seen as a yellow or golden version of himself. He usually gain enhanced speed and an ability to fly and/or to survive in outer space. At least in the games, this is often at expense of <a href="http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Ring" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rings</a>.</p>

<p>The transformation is <em>not directly linked</em> to Super Saiyans, but it's widely believed that the game drew heavy inspiration from Dragon Ball in this regard. (No official confirmation, tough.)</p>

And of course the idea that Super Sonic is a Super Saiyan is a popular fanon (i.e. something that some fans believe but which is not backed up by any actual canon).

<p>I watched an animation about Sonic, and that hedgehog became a Super Saiyan using diamond shaped stuff.</p>

<p>What actually is that? How can Sonic become like that?</p>

Why can Sonic become a Super Saiyan like Goku?

I think you're refering to what's commonly known as [Super Sonic](http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Sonic).

Sonic has had the ability to turn into Super Sonic using [Chaos Emerald](http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Chaos_Emerald) since the 2nd game. Various media have handeled this transformation in various ways (see the Wikia-page linked above), but in general he's seen as a yellow or golden version of himself. He usually gain enhanced speed and an ability to fly and/or to survive in outer space. At least in the games, this is often at expense of [Rings](http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Ring).

The transformation is *not directly linked* to Super Saiyans, but it's widely believed that the game drew heavy inspiration from Dragon Ball in this regard. (No official confirmation, tough.)
