Mario And Sonic At The Olympic Winter Games Silver Views

General Goods

The Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise, originally started in 1991 with two main characters, merely a protagonist, Sonic the Hedgehog, and an antagonist, Dr. Eggman. However, over two decades, Sega would expand the number of characters quite a bit. This list documents any notable characters that have appeared in more than one game.

Amy Rose (エミー・ローズ, Emī Rōzu?) is a 12 year old girl hedgehog. She appointed herself to be Sonic's girlfriend.[1] Her first appearance in the games was in Sonic CD, introduced and kidnapped by Metal Sonic. Here, she had the nickname Rosy the Rascal and was named Princess Sally [2] in the Western manuals, in order to tie in with the cartoon. After this appearance, she became known as Amy. Her first playable appearance was in Sonic Drift, although that game was not released outside of Japan, making Sonic Drift 2 her first playable game for other regions. Amy's skills with her Piko Piko Hammer are second to none.[1]

Big the Cat (ビッグ・ザ・キャット, Biggu za Kyatto?) is a large, 18-year-old, purple anthropomorphic cat with yellow eyes and long ears who first debuted in Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast. Big is laid-back[12] and easygoing, which is reflected in his speech.[13] Strong but gentle[13] and a little slow,[14] he lives a normally peaceful life in the jungle with his best friend Froggy. [13] He loves fishing, and he is never without his favorite rod and lure.[12]

He made cameo appearances in Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic and the Secret Rings, and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games as one of the referees. He has also appeared in the animated series Sonic X, where he made his debut in the Sonic Adventure story arc, and in the Sonic X comic. He has been voiced by the late Shun Yashiro and Takashi Nagasako in Japanese, and Jon St. John (1998–2005), Pete Zarustica (2005–2010) and Kyle Hebert (2010–present) in English.
