| 13 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonic30thspecial_038_classic_sonic.png]] |
| 14 | The world's fastest hedgehog, and a hero who has stopped Doctor Eggman multiple times. |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * BadassInDistress: |
| 17 | ** In ''Tails[='=] 30th Anniversary'' comic, he ends up imprisoned in crystal by Witchcart after his reckless ambush to stop her and her minions, leaving Tails to rescue him and save the day. |
| 18 | ** Sonic is in this position again in the ''Amy's 30th Anniversary'', where he was ambushed by Metal Sonic and then imprisoned in a capsule. He ends up being rescued by Amy and her ragtag team. |
| 19 | * CharacterExaggeration: One aspect of Sonic's personality that is dialed up in the Classic era stories is his impatience and lust for adventure. While the character has typically been a hyperactive battle ready hedgehog, the classic stories are what make it the most evident. He's eager to investigate what's happening on Flicky Island that [[LeeroyJenkins he takes off without consulting with Tails first]], and while waiting for Tails to finish preparing a gadget that will help them track the Heavy Wing, he paces around and quickly gets bored (complete with a "bored" text effect appearing over him). When they do arrive on the Heavy Wing, he finds it incredibly dull, since no one is there to stop their assault on Heavy King's ship, as everyone is below deck fighting the Hooligans. A justified example, since this is a younger version of the title hero who hasn't matured to the same extent as his present day counterpart. |
| 20 | * DependingOnTheWriter: Sonic's characterization varies between "Seasons of Chaos" and "Sonic Learns to Drive". Sonic is similar to his IDW characterization when written by Creator/IanFlynn, as confident, if much more impatient, and has a bit of snark. In "Learns to drive", Sonic becomes a MotorMouth when written by the Creator/McElroyBrothers. |
| 21 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: In "Learns to Drive", Sonic is rather impulsive at driving and just speeds ahead without a care. Notably, he gets pretty impatient when he attempts to drive normally and follow the rules. |
| 22 | * SuddenlySpeaking: As with ''ComicBook/SonicMegaDrive'', Classic Sonic is allowed to speak in comic book format unlike the video games, which prefer to keep him mute. |
| 23 | * SuperSpeed: But of course, though in keeping with the classic motif, [[WheelOFeet his running motion is shaped more like a figure eight]]. |

| 32 | Sonic's young two tailed fox friend. |
| 33 | ---- |
| 34 | * AttentionDeficitOhShiny: When trying to stop Fang, he geeks out about his hover bike for a few seconds, before focusing back on the mission. |
| 35 | * ChildProdigy: Like in the present (and as shown in the early games), Tails is very technologically savvy. He can instantly understand how to sabotage Fang's air bike, aid in shutting down Heavy King's machine, and scrap together various parts from the Witchcarters' vehicles to make weapons. |
| 36 | * ADayInTheLimelight: As the title suggests, the ''[[Recap/Tails30thAnniversarySpecial Tails' 30th Anniversary]]'' comic is primarily focused on Tails in his attempt to stop Witchcart and her minions from taking over Flicky Island. |
| 37 | * DistressedDude: In ''Recap/Amys30thAnniversarySpecial'', he's one of Amy's friends who's being captured by Metal Sonic. |
| 38 | * {{Flight}}: As with all iterations, Tails can fly by spinning his tails in a helicopter fashion. |
| 39 | * KidSidekick: Any adventures set in the past have him firmly as this, where he's eager, but still notably nervous when fighting against some bad guys, and not as confident as his modern self. |

| 45 | ---- |
| 46 | * TheBigGuy: The main powerhouse of the team, who is able to match Bark in strength. |
| 47 | * DependingOnTheWriter: Knuckles is portrayed in "Seasons of Chaos" and ''Fang the Hunter'' as a serious and calm guardian while having a few humorous moments here and there, at least compared to his usual depictions as a hot-blooded [[DumbMuscle knuckle-head]] like in ''WebAnimation/SonicManiaAdventures''. |
| 48 | * SarcasmBlind: As this conversations shows: |
| 49 | -->'''Knuckles:''' Huh. Fang never ended up giving me a nickname.\ |
| 50 | '''[[DeadpanSnarker Sonic]]:''' Probably would've been "Knucklehead".\ |
| 51 | '''Knuckles:''' How do you figure?\ |
| 52 | '''Sonic:''' Because... nevermind. |
| 53 | * TrapMaster: In the ''Fang the Hunter'' miniseries, Knuckles is able to make the Hooligans chase themselves in circles, splitting them up with fake tracks and improvised defensive measures from Mushroom Hill. His use of switches and pitfalls manage to capture Bean and Bark, which is [[ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat an often forgotten]] part of Knuckles' character that stemmed from his first appearance. |

| 62 | A pink hedgehog who wants to be part of the adventures with Sonic. |
| 63 | ---- |
| 64 | * AdaptationalWimp: Zig-zagged. |
| 65 | ** In the 2021 ''30th Anniversary Special'', this is PlayedForLaughs, where Amy's attacks with her hammer are not strong enough to damage Bark. |
| 66 | ** In ''Amy's 30th Anniversary'', this is averted, where she can bust up Badniks like her modern counterpart and ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'' incarnation. |
| 67 | * ADayInTheLimelight: |
| 68 | ** In ''Amy's New Hobby'', the story is focused on Amy and her hobby of making comic about her friends. |
| 69 | ** ''[[Recap/Amys30thAnniversarySpecial Amy's 30th Anniversary]]'' has her as the protagonist, where she pulls together a rag-tag team to rescue her friends from Dr. Eggman and Metal Sonic's clutches. |
| 70 | * {{Determinator}}: Despite not being as strong as the boys, she is still willing to aid Sonic and enter dangerous situations. When Metal Sonic starts capturing her friends in capsules, she does everything she can to save her friends despite being outmatched by the blue blur's robotic doppelganger. |
| 71 | * HiddenDepths: "Amy's New Hobby" reveals she's a budding artist and has been making her own comics in her spare time. |
| 72 | * HumongousHeadedHammer: Like her modern self, her main weapon is the Piko Piko Hammer, which is bigger than her and the head being twice the size of her own. |
| 73 | * MoralityPet: To Bark during [[EnemyMine their temporary team-up]] to stop Heavy King. He notably looks after Amy throughout their journey and even allows her to borrow his scarf when they reach Winter Caverns Zone. When she saves him in ''Amy's 30th Anniversary'', he is rather grateful and teams up with her to save Fang and Bean without much coaxing. |
| 74 | * NiceGirl: Amy's a cheerful little girl who wants to be part of the adventure, and is the only character who thinks there's good in Bark. |
| 75 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Amy is the only female character in "Seasons of Chaos". She is not the only female character of the Classic era, however, as the Hard Boiled Heavies have Heavy Rider and Heavy Magician, Witchcart's crew includes herself and Carrotia, and Honey the Cat occasionally makes cameo appearances. |

| 80 | An old armadillo friend of Sonic who possesses quite the monstrous strength. |
| 81 | ---- |
| 82 | * LightningBruiser: Possibly the most physically powerful character in the classic series and has borderline super speed on top of that, if his fight with Bark is any indication. |
| 83 | * OldFriend: Of Sonic, one of his earlier [[VideoGame/SegaSonicTheHedgehog ones even before he met]] Tails and Knuckles. |
| 84 | * SuperStrength: Mighty's very strong, as his name suggests, capable of lifting rocks of considerable size with only one hand. |
| 85 | * SuperToughness: Being an armadillo, he has a thick hide, which is able to withstand a swipe from Metal Sonic with only some scratches to show for it. |

| 93 | * KidSidekick: To Mighty, essentially the Tails to his Sonic. When Mighty gets captured by Metal Sonic, Ray is determined to join Amy to help rescue his best buddy. |
| 94 | * OldFriend: As with Mighty, Ray is an old friend of Sonic [[VideoGame/SegaSonicTheHedgehog who had an adventure with in the past]]. |

| 108 | A mad scientist who wants to take over the world. |
| 109 | ---- |
| 110 | * BirthdayHater: He dreads his birthday; not because of getting older, but because his robots always throw him a party, which he detests. |
| 111 | * CardCarryingVillain: Openly evil, and proud of it. This is also his [[VillainBall flaw]], as he programmed Heavy King to be deceitful and conquest-driven, which ends up shooting him in the foot on more than one occassion. |
| 112 | -->'''Eggman:''' ''Oh-ho-ho! Can I make an evil robot or what?'' |
| 113 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: In "Seasons of Chaos", he teams with the heroes and the Hooligans to stop Metal King. After they succeed and he brings Heavy King back under his control, he tries to turn on both parties, only to see that they've long since left his base with the Chaos Emeralds. To add insult to injury, the Badniks around it had been destroyed by Eggman teaming up with heroes, and the Metals and Heavy King run out of power to chase after them. |
| 114 | * {{Manchild}}: Eggman sleeps with the Tails Doll. |
| 115 | * NotMeThisTime: In "Seasons of Chaos" he reveals he's not the one looking for the emeralds. Heavy King is. |
| 116 | * PetTheDog: In "Dr. Eggman's Birthday" after his Badniks cite that he at least deserves something special on his birthday. Eggman is ''slightly'' genuinely touched and begrudgingly lets the bots celebrate it. |
| 117 | * VillainBall: Eggman shoots himself in the foot by programming Heavy King to be deceitful and conquest-driven. No wonder the robot turned rogue. |
| 118 | * VillainousRescue: In ''Fang the Hunter'', the good doctor saves the Hooligans from drowning in Newtrogic High Zone, primarily not out of any altruism, but because the group were trespassing on his territory. He notes he ''could'' have let them drown, but his curiosity gets the better of him. |

| 125 | * CallForward: Heavy King declares himself to be a metallic overlord, with Metal Sonic [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes seemingly interested by the idea]]. Eggman tells him to not get any ideas about it. |
| 126 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Due to sharing the same anniversary, he technically also shares spotlight with Amy in ''Recap/Amys30thAnniversarySpecial'', being the main threat who captures all of her friends. |
| 127 | * RobotMe: A robotic version of Sonic the Hedgehog, and the most famous of all the metal doppelgangers. |
| 128 | * SilentAntagonist: Like his modern self, Metal doesn't speak in any of his appearances, despite showing the capability to speak in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations''. |

| 134 | ---- |
| 135 | * FlatCharacter: He's a robot counterpart of Knuckles, but unlike Tails Doll's creepy nature and Metal Sonic's [[CallForward implied betrayal later down the line]], it doesn't go beyond that. |
| 136 | * RobotMe: A robot version of Knuckles the Echidna. |
| 137 | * SilentAntagonist: Metal Knuckles isn't able to speak, and remains a silent obedient robot. |
| 138 | * TruerToTheText: Unlike the appearances of the character in the Archie comics, which were based off the crude in-game model from ''VideoGame/SonicR'', Metal Knuckles here is based directly off the original concept art for the character, with a much more elaborate and obviously segmented design. |

| 144 | ---- |
| 145 | * CreepyDoll: A really creepy doll based off Tails. Despite this, Eggman seems to enjoy sleeping with him. |
| 146 | * RetCanon: The characterization as a creepy doll comes from the ''[[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Archie series]]'', which in turn was inspired by the [[AscendedMeme creepypastas based on the character]]. [[DownplayedTrope Admittedly]], Tails Doll doesn't appear to hold a MechanicalAbomination inside of him and is just a creepy doll with a hidden camera, with the scariest thing he does is to JumpScare Eggman and Tails in "Seasons of Chaos." |
| 147 | * RobotMe: A robot (?) version of Tails in the shape of a doll. Tails is offended that Sonic and Knuckles get their metal variations but he himself ends with a creepy doll (at least until ''Superstars''). |
| 148 | * SilentAntagonist: Tails Doll isn't capable of speaking, which seemingly adds to the uncanny feeling. |

| 153 | [[caption-width-right:300:''My badnik forces will conquer the world. I will rule as its metallic overlord.'']] |
| 154 | An elite group of Egg-Robos led by Heavy King, who were changed by the power of the Phantom Ruby. Heavy King and the Heavies were rebuilt by Eggman after the events of ''Mania''. |
| 155 | ---- |
| 156 | * ArcVillain: |
| 157 | ** Heavy King is the main antagonist of the ''Seasons of Chaos'' story. |
| 158 | ** Over the course of ''Fang the Hunter'', it's revealed that he and the Hard Boiled Heavies are partially responsible for a lot of the events in the mini-series, with his discovery of [[spoiler:the Warp Topaz]] end up tying together the assortment of plot threads that were set up. |
| 159 | * BackFromTheDead: Heavy King was rebuilt by Eggman prior to the events of ''Seasons of Chaos'', while the other Heavies were rebuilt some time after that. |
| 160 | * BadLiar: When Eggman asks for a report about the Heavy Wing and why they haven't returned with it, Heavy King provides terribly practiced lies, as they're all excuses that Eggman heard already the last few times he called. When he tries to use the "going through a tunnel" excuse, Eggman berates him since they're on a ''video call''. |
| 161 | * BlindedByRage: Heavy King is at the top of his game, with almost all the Chaos Emeralds at his power. How is he stopped? Sonic decides to annoy him, calling him "Heavy Comedian", saying his cape is stupid, and that even without the Chaos Emeralds, Mecha Sonic did achieve a super transformation using the Master Emerald. The last one does the trick, enraging Heavy King and distracting him enough for everyone to steal the emeralds from his pedestal, leaving him powerless. It should be noted that he heard Sonic's plan to do this immediately beforehand and was prepared to simply ignore him. Sonic managed to piss him off that much that he still ended up taking the bait. |
| 162 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Despite the doctor implementing a patch to prevent Heavy King from taking over his Empire, the Hard Boiled Heavies go off the grid in ''Fang the Hunter'' and steal Eggman's new battleship for a joyride, cutting communications with him. Downplayed as they never really betrayed Eggman this time, and after they are foiled, they immediately start obeying him, though Eggman strands at sea with no hope of rescue as punishment for their latest bout of rebellion. |
| 163 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Heavy Rider genuinely loves her Motobug mount, Jimmy, and is horrified when Fang and the Hooligans threaten to blow him up. |
| 164 | * GoneHorriblyRight: Eggman made and programmed a deceitful and conquest-driven robot... and succeeded. |
| 165 | * KingMook: Heavy King and his cohorts are advanced Egg-Robos. |
| 166 | * RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: What ends up being invoked on the group's in the ''Fang the Hunter'' miniseries. After going rogue on Eggman for the '''fifth time''' (including both their game and comic appearances... even if one time was just to celebrate Eggman's birthday) to steal Eggman's airship for their Warp Topaz experiment, once the ship goes down into the sea, Heavy King is promptly told by Eggman that he and his crew are pretty much on their own -- cutting ties with the quintet and leaving them to likely sink with the wrecked ship. |
| 167 | * RobotMe: As an enhanced Egg-Robo, Heavy King is essentially Eggman's metallic counterpart if he had a big beard instead of a mustache. |
| 168 | * TheStarscream: Eggman built him to become the chief commander to lead the robots into battle, but turned rogue. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], [[VillainBall because Eggman]] programmed him to be deceitful and conquest-driven. After he is defeated, Eggman installed a software patch to make sure Heavy King doesn't rebel again. It doesn't last long, as the ''Fang the Hunter'' mini-series sees him commandeering the Egg Wing as his own battleship (redubbed the Heavy Wing), though without actively trying to oppose the Eggman Empire this time. Unfortunately for the Heavies, their latest rebellious stint had Eggman fed up with their antics, ending their role in the miniseries abandoned at sea. |
| 169 | * SuddenlySpeaking: All the Heavies are capable of speech in the comics, while their debut in ''VideoGame/SonicMania'' features [[SilenceIsGolden no dialogue]]. |
| 170 | * WarriorPoet: Heavy Shinobi recites a haiku when he freezes Fang with his icy katana. |
| 171 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: During the ''Fang the Hunter'' miniseries, after dealing with the Hard Boiled Heavies going rogue again, Eggman leaves the robots stranded at sea in an airship taking in lots of seawater with no hope of rescue. Considering they constantly betray or disobey him, it's one of the few cases where Eggman [[LaserGuidedKarma ditching his creations is rather understandable]]. |

| 176 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonic30thspecial_014_classic_hooligans.png]] |
| 177 | [[caption-width-right:350:Bark (Left) Fang (Center) and Bean (Right)]] |
| 178 | -->Introduced in: ''Seasons of Chaos'' |
| 179 | A trio of mercenaries who often cause trouble for Sonic and his friends, usually under the employ of Dr. Eggman. They are Fang the Hunter (a.k.a. Fang the Sniper, Nack the Weasel, etc.), Bean the Dynamite, and Bark the Polar Bear. |
| 180 | ---- |
| 181 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Bean and Bark have a complicated case of this. In his original biography, Bark was described as a GentleGiant with a kind heart, and both him and Bean were grouped up as part of "Sonic's friends" in the [[https://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_the_Fighters#Story story]] of ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters''. The Archie comics depicted them as wanted criminals associated with Fang, which [[RetCanon was incorporated into the games]] after ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations''. Here, they're part of a trio of guns-for-hire with Fang as their leader, but they're a bit TruerToTheText; neither Bean nor Bark are outwardly malicious to Sonic and friends, and they only end up fighting against each other due to circumstance. |
| 182 | * BreakingTheFellowship: In ''Fang the Hunter'', after Bean and Bark have had enough of Fang endangering their lives and only caring about himself, they ditch him and go their separate ways. This leaves Fang by himself, free to work with Eggman without remorse and setting up his involvement in ''Sonic Superstars''. |
| 183 | * ComicTrio: Fang is TheLeader, Bean is TheFool, and Bark is the OnlySaneMan. |
| 184 | * FriendlyEnemy: Despite them usually being an antagonistic force to the heroes, they have their moments. |
| 185 | ** In his own quirky way, Bean can be quite friendly when he's not trying to blow people up. He is one of many people who came to read Amy's comics when Tails shows them off. |
| 186 | ** The biggest example of the group would be [[TokenGoodTeammate Bark the Polar Bear]], who follows his ''Fighters'' characterization more closely than in the Archie series, even if he doesn't outwardly show it. He can be seen with Bean amongst the crowd who wanted to read Amy's comics in "Amy's New Hobby'', and Amy believes he's not really a bad guy, he just hangs out with the wrong crowd. His interactions with Amy and Ray in ''Amy's 30th Anniversary'' see him being very polite, joining the team in order to help save Bean and Fang without much coaxing. |
| 187 | ** Fang, while still being an opportunistic treasure hunter who only cares about money, is somewhat willing to work with the heroes when the situation calls for it, as shown in both the 2021 ''30th Anniversary Special'' and ''Amy's 30th Anniversary Special''. |
| 188 | * HiredGuns: In their first appearance, they were hired by Eggman in order to get the Chaos Emeralds for him. |
| 189 | * IHaveYourWife: Or I Have Your Motobug. The Hooligans hold Heavy Rider's mount, Jimmy, hostage, threatening to blow him up with a bomb planted on his head if Heavy Rider made another move on them, causing her to stand down out of fear. |
| 190 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: By the end of the ''Fang the Hunter'' mini-series, Bean and Bark had become so fed up with Fang's poor attitude and dragging them into a pointless goose chase for the "eighth Chaos Emerald" (which got them hurt and nearly killed on multiple occasions), that they both strike out on their own in a huff. |
| 191 | * NiceMeanAndInbetween: Bark is the Nice, a BruiserWithASoftCenter who is the least openly antagonistic towards the heroes, is easily convinced to team up with them, and has plenty of PetTheDog moments; Fang is the Mean, a selfish, loud-mouthed DirtyCoward mercenary who enjoys messing with the heroes; and Bean is the In-Between, a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who is more than willing to fight the heroes but generally has a more pleasant demeanor than Fang. |
| 192 | * RetCanon: Their alliance is taken from ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'', as opposed to their portrayal from ''Sonic the Fighters'', where they were largely unassociated. Their characterizations also lean more toward Archie's portrayal, but tweaked slightly to be more compatible with how they were originally described. |
| 193 | * ScrewThisImOutOfHere: |
| 194 | ** Fang attempts to run away from the fight against Heavy King in the ''30th Anniversary'' comic, but is dragged back into the confrontation by Metal Sonic. |
| 195 | ** After Fang had dragged his two partners through life-threatening danger and tries to dismiss the eighth Chaos Emerald as a silly rumor (despite him being the whole reason why they pursued it in the first place), a fed up Bean and Bark leave the gang to pursue their own fun. |
| 196 | * TerribleTrio: If the name didn't give it away, they're a trio of mercenaries that are usually against Sonic and friends. |
| 197 | * VillainProtagonist: The trio are the ones given the main focus in the ''Fang the Hunter'' mini-series, in place of Sonic himself. |

| 202 | [[caption-width-right:300:''Dr. Eggman promised a hefty reward if we bring him all the Chaos Emeralds. No problem for a treasure hunter like me, of course!'']] |
| 203 | A greedy treasure hunter who's not exactly as effective as he proclaims himself to be. |
| 204 | ---- |
| 205 | * AdaptationNameChange: Played With. While he's always been named Fang in Japan, in the U.S, he was dubbed Nack the Weasel (save for ''Sonic the Fighters''). The Archie series likewise used "Nack" through all of his appearances, including the Post-Super Genesis Wave universe. The ''30th Anniversary'' comic is the first time that "Fang" has been used in the comics since then. His title of "Sniper" has also been tweaked to "Hunter" in ''Recap/Amys30thAnniversarySpecial'', matching the alias change made in ''VideoGame/SonicSuperstars''. |
| 206 | * BadBoss: Bossy, ill-tempered, detrimentally greedy, and arrogant, which leads him to constantly drag his boys into working with [[BigBad Dr. Eggman]] even when neither likes to do so, often getting them into dangerous situations. By the end of Fang's miniseries, it gets to the point where both Bean and Bark leave the gang out of frustration with him. |
| 207 | * CoolBike: As usual, he shows up on his hover bike, The Marvelous Queen. It can bounce around, fly, and even fire its side cars like missiles. At the end of his miniseries, he loses the side cars after Bean and Bark leave with them, noting he went through the trouble of getting them custom-fitted for the two. |
| 208 | * ADayInTheLimelight: In 2024, Fang got his own self-titled miniseries, where he, along with Bark and Bean, go and search for a rumored eighth Chaos Emerald, with the series also focusing on his relationship as the leader of the Hooligans. |
| 209 | * DirtyCoward: Fang would rather run away from a fight. During the fight against Heavy King, he is the only who is running away, with Metal Sonic dragging him back into the battle. |
| 210 | * EnemyMine: |
| 211 | ** In ''30th Anniversary Special'', he, alongside his own team, was willing to work with Team Sonic in order to take Heavy King down (and after Eggman promised him with more payment, that is). |
| 212 | ** In ''Amy's 30th Anniversary'', he dismisses Amy after she freed him from his imprisonment at first. But when the two reunite again in Eggman Island Zone, Fang gives a small nod towards Amy near one of the Egg Capsules, subtly indicating that he was willing to work with Amy to trap Metal Sonic as the pink hedgehog serves as a bait. |
| 213 | * EvilIsPetty: Fang is the one to convince the other two Hooligans into stealing a pie from Amy Rose, which Bean points out they really didn't have a reason to (with Bark also the most visibly distressed about stealing from her). Fang can only recoil in fear as he remembers how she chased them afterwards, admitting the onus being on him for that incident. |
| 214 | * FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Unlike the Archie series, where he wielded real firearms, his gun just fires corks, which are TruerToTheText, but are hardly effective. |
| 215 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Even moreso than Bean. While Sonic and his friends already don't think too highly of him, both Bean and Bark are shown to occasionally be fed up of being dragged into his schemes as they voice their objections in Fang's miniseries. After their eighth Chaos Emerald Hunt turns out to be a total bust, they both ditch him in a hurry, due to how awful of a time they had with him and his nonsense. |
| 216 | * HeyYou: He often doesn't call Bean and Bark by their names, referring to them by Bomb-Mook and Scarf-Mook. Likewise he gives out nicknames to his opponents such as calling Sonic "Fleet-Feet" and Tails "Double Butt". Knuckles lampshades this when he didn't get a nickname. Subverted in issue #3 of ''Fang the Hunter'', where he curtly refers to Bean and Bark by name when giving them instructions on how to deal with Heavy Rider. |
| 217 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In ''Amy's 30th Anniversary,'' he goes looking for Bean and Bark after they're kidnapped and imprisoned. Not because he was ''worried'' about them, but because he couldn't stand the prospect of someone pulling a fast one on him. |
| 218 | -->'''Fang:''' I'm gonna get my boys back. ''Nobody'' takes nothin' from me! |
| 219 | ** PlayedForDrama, in Fang's miniseries. Fang's own greed and stubbornness in his hunt for the "eighth Chaos Emerald," as well as his blatant disregard for his teammates' concerns, results in both Bean and Bark quitting and making Fang to deal with the events of ''VideoGame/SonicSuperstars'' alone. |
| 220 | * TheNicknamer: He never refers to anyone by name, instead giving them (often demeaning) nicknames. The only character he does not give a unique nickname to is Eggman, but even then, "Eggman" is technically already a nickname[[note]]Although in ''Fang's Big Break'', an online promotional comic for ''VideoGame/SonicSuperstars'', he does call him "Egg-Mook" instead[[/note]]. In issue #3 of ''Fang the Hunter'', he curtly refers to Bean and Bark by name when giving them instructions on how to deal with Heavy Rider. |
| 221 | * TreasureHunter: He pegs himself as such, which is in his title and he occasionally brags about his expertise. |
| 222 | * TruerToTheText: Compared to the Archie series, his usage of a cork gun instead of real firearms is more faithful to the games, particularly in ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'' and ''VideoGame/SonicMania''. One panel also shows he has the HairAntennae underneath his hat shown in his original concept art by Touma, something missing from the Archie version. |
| 223 | * VerbalTic: Fang always refers to someone by calling them "Mook" or attaching "Mook" to the end of their names in some fashion. Bean lampshades this tendency. |
| 224 | -->'''Bean:''' Do you get paid for every time you say "Mook?" |
| 225 | * WatchThePaintJob: Fang has plenty of moments showing that he cares more for his Marvelous Queen air bike over his teammates. He's barred Bean from driving it after a previous incident, looks for a mechanic after the events of Seasons of Chaos, wants to give it the upgrades "it deserves" (while looking at it with sparkles in his eyes), and when Bean starts throwing bombs willy-nilly at Sonic, he immediately dives at the woodpecker to prevent him from accidentally blowing the bike up. When he reunites with it after it crashes into Heavy Shinobi, he gives it an affectionate hug and talks to it as if it were his pet. |

| 229 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonic30thspecial_016_classic_bean.png]] |
| 230 | [[caption-width-right:300:''But this is our big reunion after so long! Didn't cha miss me?'']] |
| 231 | A bomb obsessed woodpecker who's not exactly right in his head. |
| 232 | ---- |
| 233 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: As in the Archie series, he's utterly nuts; Fang can barely keep him under control half the time. |
| 234 | * CryingARiver: After Eggman describes how he got kicked out of his own base courtesy of Heavy King, he's the only one of the group who is moved to tears. |
| 235 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: Implied. If what Fang has told him in past is anything to go by, Bean is barred from driving his Marvelous Queen [[NoodleIncident after the "last time"]] he did. |
| 236 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Given his chaotic, illogical, nature, Bean is someone that winds up being barely tolerated by his cohorts and flat-out disliked by those in Sonic's crew (especially Sonic who flat outs says to Bean's face he isn't happy to see him). It's to the point that Amy, who he's at least on good enough terms with to read her comics, lumps the guy in the same vein as Fang as being a jerk, that's 'mean, rude and cruel'. Still, despite it all, both Fang and Bark do care enough about him to raid Eggman's base to save him after he was captured, showing he's still a valued member of their gang. |
| 237 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When Bean and Sonic meet, he tells him it has been a long time since they last met, a nod to Bean's lack of appearances following the cancellation of the Archie series and even longer than that in the mainline series. |
| 238 | * MadBomber: Bean's capable of making bombs out of thin air and he's not afraid of launching them willy-nilly. That said, he seems to consider bombing as a form of art. |
| 239 | ** In "Seasons of Chaos," he makes a speech to Fang about the jerboa missing his "artistic vision" when he was about to blow Eggman's door with a bomb, and when Heavy King uses explosions, [[InLoveWithYourCarnage he's moved to tears]]. |
| 240 | ** When he gets trapped by Heavy Gunner and Heavy Magician in a dead end, he realizes his "dinky little bombs" won't work. So he pulls out a ''huge'' one, which explodes in the storage room with enough force to knock the sign outside over, with his tail feathers catching fire after the ensuing chaos. |
| 241 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: When Fang notices his tail feathers caught fire after causing a giant explosion, Bean reacts to it with little fanfare. |
| 242 | -->'''Fang:''' ''(looking concerned at his tail feather now having a small flame)'' …are you on fire?\ |
| 243 | '''Bean:''' Only a little bit. |
| 244 | * MoodSwinger: He can go from being overjoyed, to brooding, to angry in the slice of ''half a page''. |
| 245 | * OnlySaneMan: Shockingly, Bean ends up becoming this alongside Bark in the ''Fang the Hunter'' miniseries, where the more time Fang spends on his fruitless quest to find the rumored eighth Chaos Emerald, the more Bean and Bark get annoyed and tell him to stop. It comes to a head when Bean tells Fang to just spill the beans about what they know in order to save their own hides, much to Fang's surprise. |
| 246 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Bean, the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} with a penchant for causing mischief, reaches the limit of his patience with Fang when they get captured by Eggman in issue #3 of ''Fang the Hunter'', begging him to just tell the doctor what they know in order to save their skins. The bomb-happy duck usually isn't the voice of reason, which Fang and Bean himself lampshade. |
| 247 | -->'''Eggman:''' Now, for the last time. What were you doing on my land?\ |
| 248 | '''Bean:''' Oh, just tell him already!\ |
| 249 | '''Fang:''' Since when were you the voice of reason?\ |
| 250 | '''Bean:''' I don't know! I feel all icky and unnatural! |
| 251 | * PunchClockVillain: Bean's only antagonistic towards Sonic and the gang when he’s on the clock for Fang. In his spare time, he's more than willing to spend time with them, as shown when he and Bark check out Amy’s comics. In Fang's miniseries, he admits that the only reason he joins in on the treasure-hunting jerboa's escapades is [[ItAmusedMe his fondness for causing mischief]], and openly disdains working for Eggman. |
| 252 | * SkewedPriorities: While he is captured by Metal Sonic, he takes up decorating the inside of his capsule like it was his own home instead of trying to escape from it. |
| 253 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: The framed photo he has in his capsule depicts his father, Bin the Duck from ''VideoGame/DynamiteDux'', where they share the same face and beak structure. The only difference is their plumage. |
| 254 | * {{Troll}}: When the heroes arrive to Winter Caverns Zone, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent he can be seen throwing rocks to Mighty]], for some reason. |
| 255 | * TrueCompanions: With Bark, despite dragging the bear into things with his love for chaos. During Fang's miniseries, Bean goes out of his way to pressure Fang into going back for Bark after their comrade stayed behind to fend off Heavy King. |
| 256 | [[/folder]] |
| 257 | |
| 258 | [[folder:Bark the Polar Bear]] |
| 259 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonic30thspecial_015_classic_bark.png]] |
| 260 | A silent polar bear who serves as the muscle of the Hooligans. |
| 261 | ---- |
| 262 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: Bark puts up with a lot from Fang and the various jobs with nary a sigh and an eyeroll. His stoic nature falls away as he battles Knuckles, with both angrily ramping up their blows until he and the Guardian knock each other dazed. Likewise, when Mighty gets put into a tree by the Polar Bear, he and Fang sport some villainous sneers while the armadillo smiles nervously. |
| 263 | * TheBrute: The main muscle among the three, and is able to fight the likes of Knuckles, Mighty, and even Heavy King to a standstill. |
| 264 | * FurryReminder: Bean brings up that Bark would like to purchase a portable freezer so he can travel in comfort and style. Bark is a polar bear after all, and Polar Bears in real-life can overheat by simply just running. Bark, while not getting exhausted to the same extent as real Polar Bears, is typically seen travelling with Bean and Fang in (mostly) tropical island climates. Bark even punctuates Bean's point by fanning himself when he brings up the freezer. |
| 265 | * GeniusBruiser: He may seem like a brute but is intelligent enough to use Mighty’s momentum against him when it was clear that the armadillo was beginning to overpower him. He can even use a razor sharp leaf like a throwing knife to destroy a Badnik patrolling Eggman's base (while wearing boxing gloves, no less). |
| 266 | * GentleGiant: Despite being a big bruiser who works with the Hooligans, he follows his characterization from ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'', where he's "blunt and quiet, but gentle and shy, with a kind heart". These aspects are best demonstrated with how he treats Amy Rose. |
| 267 | * LuminescentBlush: Whenever he gets praised or called a nice guy by Amy, he noticeably blushes. When he gets hugged by her in ''Amy's 30th Anniversary'', he stiffens up, only able to give her a thumbs-up while his face is red. |
| 268 | * OnlySaneMan: Between Fang barely leading the team and Bean [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} being Bean]]. He's the only one with any common sense between the three. |
| 269 | * PetTheDog: When Amy (pitifully) tries to harm him with her hammer, he simply puts her on a nearby tree so she won't get hurt. He also lets her borrow his scarf when they're approaching Eggman's snowy base. |
| 270 | * PunchClockVillain: Much like Bean, he's really only antagonistic towards Sonic and the gang when he’s on the clock for Fang, with Amy thinking he just hangs out with the wrong crowd and isn't a bad person. In his spare time, he's more than willing to spend time with them, as shown when he and Bean check out Amy’s comics. |
| 271 | * RealMenWearPink: In Issue #3 of ''Fang the Hunter'', [[TextileWorkIsFeminine Bark can be seen knitting a brand-new red scarf]], looking very proud at his handiwork. He gets a little mopey when Fang starts charging towards a battleship in his bike and his ball of yarn falls out. |
| 272 | * TheRestShallPass: Is both this and on the "LeaveHimToMe" end of the trope in ''Fang the Hunter''. When the Hooligans first try escaping with [[spoiler:the Hard Boiled Heavies' Warp Topaz]], Heavy King orders all their forces to stop them, with the trio heavily outnumbered. Despite the odds, Bark stays behind to first fend off Heavy Rider's attack, while Fang and Bean try to get the Marvelous Queen. Heavy King then sends the other Heavies to go after Fang and Bean, with King staying behind to fight Bark himself. |
| 273 | * TheSilentBob: Doesn't utter a word through his appearances, only communicating through various actions and gestures. Even when Bark tries saying something to Fang, the jerboa cuts him off and says what he's going to say for him. |
| 274 | * SuperStrength: Has this in spades, able to punch and lift on equal footing with both Knuckles and Mighty. |
| 275 | * TokenGoodTeammate: He's actually very honorable and willing to team with others for the bigger picture, even smiling when he works with Amy and letting her borrow his scarf for a time. Why he works for Fang is anyone's guess. This is proven further in ''Amy's 30th Anniversary'', where upon being rescued by Amy, immediately goes to help her in saving Bean and Fang. The ''Fang the Hunter'' miniseries brings up a flashback where he's distressed and worried about stealing from ''Amy''. The miniseries also gives the reason as to why Bark's a mercenary in the first place: he's just looking after Bean out of concern. |
| 276 | -->'''Amy:''' [The Hooligans are] mean and rude and cruel! Except Bark. I think he just hangs out with bad people. |
| 277 | * {{Tsundere}}: When Amy gives him his scarf back and calls him a "big sweetie", he blushes and covers his face to look meaner. His appearance in ''Amy's 30th Anniversary'' has him somewhat embarrassed to be around her, blushing when Amy gives him a hug, but still manages to maintain his composure. |
| 278 | * WorthyOpponent: |
| 279 | ** Equally shared between Knuckles and Mighty. Bark is known enough by Knuckles to call "dibs!" when he spots the polar bear, and Mighty decides to stop holding back when he sees that Bark can handle himself in a brawl. |
| 280 | --->'''Mighty:''' Kindred spirit, I see. Then I'll take you seriously. |
| 281 | ** Heavy King acknowledges him as such in ''Fang the Hunter'', where he sends the other Hard Boiled Heavies to pursue the Hooligans, while he alone challenges Bark to a fight by himself, and is quite impressed with the Polar Bear's resilience. |
| 282 | --->'''Heavy King:''' You fight with the strength and tenacity of a robot. [[VillainRespect You have my respect]]. [...] Be honored, for I will give you a regal end! |
| 283 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Bark uses a [[SuplexFinisher German Suplex]] on Sonic in ''Fang the Hunter'', which is slightly modified in order to be used on Sonic's smaller body. |

| 287 | [[folder:The Witchcarters as a whole]] |
| 288 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/witchcarters_transparent.png]] |
| 289 | [[caption-width-right:350:From left-to-right: Witchcart, Hocke-Wulf, Bearanger, Carrottia]] |
| 290 | -->Introduced in: ''Tails' 30th Anniversary Special'' |
| 291 | |
| 292 | [[VideoGame/TailsSkypatrol A group of baddies Tails fought once]]. After their previous defeat, they decides to take over Flicky Island and capture the titular birds for them to exploits. The leader of the gang is the titular Witchcart, a witch that rides around in a minecart and uses her magic to trap people in crystal. She's aided by her three lackeys: Hocke-Wulf, Bearanger, and Carrottia. |
| 293 | ---- |
| 294 | * AdaptationalModesty: Hocke-Wulf has been given a jacket, [[https://twitter.com/virtanderson/status/1592995333453545473 explained by the comic's artist]] as a way of separating his head from his torso, helping disguising the fact that, unlike his original design, this version of Hocke-Wulf doesn't have a neck. Possibly also true for Carrottia, though we can't be ''entirely'' sure how dressed she was due to her sprite essentially just being her head and nothing else. |
| 295 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: While none of them had much personality to begin with, outside of what their in-game sprites and [[GenericDoomsdayVillain villainous motives]] implied, Carrottia's personality is notably different from Ian Flynn's previous take at Archie. Where that version was a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} WomanChild, this version is instead a lazy, easily-bored bunny of indeterminate age. As for the rest of the gang, Witchcart's nature as a witch has been played up a bit more, Hocke-Wulf has been turned into a goofball bully, and Bearanger's essentially a more cartoony version of his Archie counterpart. |
| 296 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: The four are goofy and silly, but they are credible threats. Witchcart instantly takes down Sonic when she appears and her minions are tough enough that Tails has to outthink them rather than take them head-on. |
| 297 | * RetCanon: The term "Witchcarter" was used in the Archie canon to refer to Witchcart's minions. Here, it's used to refer to the group as a whole. |
| 298 | * TruerToTheText: Compared to the Archie versions. While Witchcart's minions have been given slight design alterations to make them fit in a bit more with Classic Sonic's design ethos, the gang's overall appearances are more-or-less identical to the original sprites (save Carrottia, whose design was notably overhauled). Additionally, their names were left unchanged, notably reverting "Falke Wulf" back to "Hocke-Wulf" and sticking with just "Witchcart" as the witch's alias, and all three of Witchcart's minions are ''willingly'' working with her rather than being mind-controlled. |

| 301 | [[folder:Witchcart]] |
| 302 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/witchcartersolotransparent.png]] |
| 303 | A wicked witch in a minecart who's capable to create crystal with her magic and the leader of the bunch. |
| 304 | ---- |
| 305 | * CrystalPrison: What Witchcart's magic does, unlike what the manual for ''Tails' Skypatrol'' indicated, which was that her magic turned people ''into'' crystals. |
| 306 | * MeaningfulName: Witchcart is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly that]]; a witch who rides a minecart. |
| 307 | * MinecartMadness: No matter where she goes, Witchcart ''always'' has to have a rail line laid down for her minecart to traverse. |
| 308 | * RhymesOnADime: Witchcart always speaks in this manner, though she ''really'' stretches it sometimes. |
| 309 | -->'''Witchcart:''' Once all the Flickies' secrets are revealed, nothing will stop all of my e-vil!\ |
| 310 | '''Tails:''' That was terrible! That was a slant rhyme at best! |
| 311 | * ShoutOut: Witchcart's rhyming might have been inspired by [[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Gruntilda]], another rhyming witch that regularly fights sarcastic animals. |
| 312 | * TokenHuman: Like in her game of origin, Witchcart [[AmbiguouslyHuman outwardly appears to be human]], making her the only Classic-era human character not named "Dr. Eggman". |
| 313 | * WickedWitch: Witchcart, as her name implies. With the help of her goons, she aims to conquer the world, using her magic to trap innocents and would-be heroes in crystal. |

| 318 | A loony wolf that rides a hoverbike. |
| 319 | ---- |
| 320 | * TheBully: He tells the Flickies that it's their own fault they're being captured due to them being "so small and weak" and asks Tails if he's "still pretending to be a hero" when he's snatched up by the fox. |
| 321 | * GigglingVillain: Hocke-Wulf almost always lets out a goofy "Gyee-hee-hee!" whenever he talks. |
| 322 | * SavageWolves: Though he's more of a goofy bully than a savage beast. |
| 323 | [[/folder]] |
| 324 | |
| 325 | [[folder:Bearanger]] |
| 326 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bearangersolo.png]] |
| 327 | A brutish bear that pilots a missile. |
| 328 | ---- |
| 329 | * BearsAreBadNews: He's the short-tempered [[TheBrute brute]] of the quartet. |
| 330 | * FatBastard: Bearanger is a rather rotund bear and quite a meany. |
| 331 | * HairTriggerTemper: He could more-or-less be described as "WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam as a bear". |
| 332 | -->'''Bearanger:''' ''Well, fine then!'' You wanna get nuts?! '''LET'S GET NUTS!''' |
| 333 | * OnlySaneMan: Among Witchcart's minions, he's the only one who fully dedicated to his job while Hocke-Wulf prefers to goof around and Carrottia is too lazy to do anything properly. He even comments on how useless they are when Sonic comes in to ambush them. |
| 334 | [[/folder]] |
| 335 | |
| 336 | [[folder:Carrottia]] |
| 337 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carrottiasolo.png]] |
| 338 | A lazy rabbit that pilots a carrot-shaped aircraft. |
| 339 | ---- |
| 340 | * DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: While Carrottia's always had half-closed eyes, her lazy personality in this version of the canon indicates that they've been interpreted this way. |
| 341 | * GracefulLoser: Hocke-Wulf, Bearanger, and Witchcart are devastated by their defeats, but Carrottia actually resigns herself to her fate once Tails defeats her. Though this was less "graceful" and more like "completely apathetic". |
| 342 | * InconsistentSpelling: Between the Archie and IDW versions, Carrottia's name is spelled with two T's rather than one, like in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia''. It's still worth noting that, given the transliteration of "carrot" in [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseWritingSystem katakana]] (キャロット), either interpretation is technically correct. |
| 343 | * MellowFellow: Part of her lazy personality, Carrottia refuses to show any outward emotion, even when her life is in peril. |
| 344 | -->'''Carrottia:''' Aw, phooey. ''(lands in a ditch)'' [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Ow.]] ''(yawn)'' Oh, well. [[GracefulLoser Guess I'm defeated.]] |
| 345 | * MythologyGag: Carrottia's redesign seemingly takes cues from Naoto Ohshima's original rabbit design, from before a hedgehog was decided on as the series' main character. Additionally, her outfit is based off of Patty from the 1992 Sonic manga. |
| 346 | * TheSlacker: If she can get away with doing as little as she has to, she will. She even threatens the Flickies and Tails that forcing her to actually start putting in the slightest amount of effort is an easy way to piss her off. Lucky for them, she’s also too lazy to act on that once they steal her weapons too. |
| 347 | -->'''Carrottia:''' I ''am'' helping. ''(yawn)'' I'm guarding the... y'know... whatever. |
