History FreudianTrio / VideoGames

*** Superego: Knuckles the Echidna, the powerhouse and martial artist of the trio. Has a strong sense of honesty and commitment, but his sometimes stubborn dedication to stick to his principles and [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure "fight for [his] destiny"]] causes him to misjudge a number of situations, giving those like [[BigBad Eggman]] the chance to manipulate him sometimes. He has a more triangular and pointed head shape representing his rigid and serious temperament.

*** Ego: Big the Cat— the team's "heart"; a simple-minded, [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure "simply natural"]] and childlike GentleGiant, but one ''very'' caring towards his friends, never one to judge or criticize, and won't hesitate to help out no matter how dangerous the journey is.

*** Ego: Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, '''''[[ItsAllAboutMe and how]]'''''— a very ambitious, hard-working and diligent [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 "genius at heart"]] whose brilliant schemes are often done in through a varying mixture of underestimating Sonic and friends along with reveling too much in his own egomania or childish tendencies. Has a rounded appearance to show off his

*** Superego: Shadow the Hedgehog— seeks to accomplish his goals by any means necessary regardless if they involve [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 "obliterating anything that's not [his] friend"]], and tends towards being quiet and emotionally distant, even to his teammates.

*** Id: Big the Cat— the team's "body"; a simple-minded, [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure "simply natural"]] and childlike GentleGiant, but one ''very'' caring towards his friends, never one to judge or criticize, and won't hesitate to help out no matter how dangerous the journey is.
*** Ego: Amy Rose— the team's "personality"; a bombastic and determined go-getter who knows exactly what she wants and also does [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure "whatever comes to [her] naturally"]], but far more passionate, emotional and romantically-minded than even Sonic, while still being an uplifting and caring leader to her friends when needed.
*** Superego: Cream the Rabbit— the team's "mind"; an overly polite, heavily rule-abiding and sweet little girl who even shows courtesy towards her enemies, but often naive and simple-minded at times due to her young age.

* ''VideoGame/SolatoroboRedTheHunter'' plays with this one-two ways with the heroes:
** Id: Red (both times) -- an impulsive IdiotHero who [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer settles things by smashing them]]
** For most of the game:
*** Superego: Chocolat is the CloserToEarth, [[WomenAreWiser money-smart]] MissionControl VoiceWithAnInternetConnection.
*** Ego: Elh is in the field with Red, but serves as a voice of reason to keep him in check and remind him of what they're doing.
** Whenever the Rite of Forfeit and [[spoiler:Elh's subsequent betrayal]] are concerned:
*** Superego: Elh becomes detached, first rationalizing about TheNeedsOfTheMany and believing [[IDidWhatIHadToDo it must be done]], then breaking down and [[spoiler:not being able to make the [[HumanSacrifice sacrifice of Red's life]] necessary to [[SealedEvilInACan seal Lares]], becoming TheAtoner and believing she [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves deserves whatever happens to her]] for tricking and betraying her friends]].
*** Ego: Chocolat becomes the mediator, smoothing things over between Elh and Red, showing him what Elh must've been thinking and convincing him that Elh didn't really ''want'' to go through with such DirtyBusiness.

*** Id: Sonic-- strong sense of justice and helping others, but impatient and impulsive, preferring to trust his gut when it comes to solving problems and [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure "just living by [his] own feelings"]]. Has a circular head shape representing his freedom-loving and energetic nature.
*** Ego: Tails-- a cheerful tinkerer who acts as both the friendly mediator and strategist for the team, but sometimes anxious regarding his place in the team and as Sonic's trusty sidekick, wanting to be [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure "strong", "trusted" and "cool"]] just like the hedgehog he's always looked up to. Has a more squared head shape representing his intelligence and earnest personality.
*** Superego: Knuckles-- strong sense of duty and commitment, but his sometimes stubborn dedication to stick to his principles and [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure "fight for [his] destiny"]] prevents him from being the best team player, giving those like [[BigBad Eggman]] the chance to manipulate him sometimes. Has a more triangular and pointed head shape representing his rigid and serious temperament.

*** Id: Amy Rose-- a determined go-getter who knows exactly what she wants and also does [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure "whatever comes to [her] naturally"]], but far more passionate, emotional and romantically-minded than Sonic, while still being an uplifting and headstrong leader to her friends when needed.
*** Ego: Big the Cat-- a slower-thinking, [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure "simply natural"]] and childlike GentleGiant, but one ''very'' caring towards his friends, and never one to judge or criticize.
*** Superego: Cream the Rabbit-- an overly polite, heavily rule-abiding and sweet little girl who even shows courtesy towards her enemies, but often naive and simple-minded at times due to her young age.

*** Id: Cubot-- the doctor's slow, dim-witted and lazy lackey who would probably want to do anything else besides the work Eggman gives him and Orbot.
*** Ego: Eggman, '''''[[ItsAllAboutMe and how]]'''''-- a very ambitious, hard-working and diligent [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 "genius at heart"]] whose brilliant schemes are often done in through a varying mixture of underestimating Sonic and friends along with reveling too much in his own egomania or childish tendencies.
*** Superego: Orbot-- clearly more obedient and reliable than Cubot, but can often see the holes in his boss' plans while usually snarking back at him for them, though only to the degree that it doesn't trigger Eggman's full wrath.

*** Id: Omega-- his robotic thinking only serves to make his line of reasoning all the more straightforward, and his select way of solving problems is to shoot on sight everything he considers a hindrance (particularly Eggman and all his other "inferior" creations), polite conversations be damned.
*** Ego: Rouge-- a charismatic thief and treasure hunter who's [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 "ready to gamble"]] with whatever she's given, and is the most socially intelligent of the three despite having frequently greedy and selfish desires, having worked to keep the team together from the beginning.
*** Superego: Shadow-- seeks to accomplish his goals by any means necessary regardless if they involve [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 "obliterating anything that's not [his] friend"]], and tends towards being quiet and emotionally distant, even to his teammates.

*** Id: Charmy-- the incredibly hyperactive BrattyHalfPint of the team, frequently getting on his co-workers' nerves, but useful in "dishing out first sting" when face-to-face with a fight.
*** Ego: Vector-- the brains, brawn and upstanding "karma collector" leading the team, whose boisterous personality and hunger for money are balanced out by his top-notch detective skills.
*** Superego: Espio-- the disciplined ninja, scout and straight man of the team, using stealth and strategy to outwit any adversary, and "clearly ready to go" when it comes to doing a job and doing it right.

*** Id: Storm-- the dim, clumsy and purely physical muscle of the group, having blind loyalty to Jet in contrast to Knuckles' more independent nature.
*** Ego: Jet-- the arrogant, greedy and self-centered leader who contrasts Sonic's jovial nature by being more irresponsible and petty, and very eager to "rattle [the] nest" of anyone who dares to challenge him on being the fastest thing alive.
*** Superego: Wave-- the group's mechanic and the one keeping their operation running, irritated by both Storm and Jet for their frequently short-sighted decisions, but contrasting Tails' earnest nature by being rather devious and arrogant herself.

*** Ego: [[EvilIsSexy Konishi]] -- Sadistic, and [[VillainousBreakdown gets more emotional on her final day once you actually face her]], but is shown to be extremely logical and calculating before that.

** Id: [[CrutchCharacter Titania]] -- She tends to appeal to Ike's emotional side, opting to face the Daein Army while vastly outnumbered in order to protect [[DistressedDamsel Elincia]]. Of course, she could probably take them all on [[ActionGirl by herself anyway]].

*** Superego: Luna -- Reduced to being the [[DistressedDamsel damsel in distress]]

** Ego: Arcadia, the more peaceful albeit conflicted group, even if DiMA's intentions seem shady and underhanded.

*** Superego: [[FountainOfMemes Minamimoto]] -- Intelligent to such a degree that it only comes out as insanely complicated math equations and [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible piles of trash]]. He seems to have trouble making sense to most other people because of this.
