** A boisterous and somewhat arrogant speedster (Sonic, Shadow, and Amy)
** A much more level-headed flyer (Tails, Rouge, and Cream)
** A simple-minded powerhouse (Knuckles, Omega, and Big)
** The Babylon Rogues from ''VideoGame/SonicRiders'' (Jet, Wave, Storm) notably follow this same pattern despite having no relation to ''Heroes''.
** Team Chaotix serve as the main exception as the personalities are flipped a bit: Espio is the level-headed one, Charmy is the simple-minded one, and Vector is the boisterous one.
** Silver and Blaze are typically paired with each other instead of being in a team of three. The same applies to Mighty and Ray in the Classic Universe.

** Major MacIntyre commands the Black Lanners squadron with Captain Abernathy as his XO and Tech Sergeant Rissitia as ranking NCO. Airwomen Pennrose and Burns are the squadron's foremost fast friends and frequenters of hijinks.

* This happens just about every time ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' introduces a new protagonist, with very few outliers. the main group consists of the defense attorney, who often plays the role of OnlySaneMan and ButtMonkey (Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, Ryuunosuke Naruhodo), his quirky teenage girl sidekick, usually a NiceGirl, PluckyGirl, and/or GenkiGirl (Maya Fey, Trucy Wright, Susato Mikotoba, sometimes [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Ema Skye]]), a rival prosecutor who is deeply tied up in the tragedy of game's overarching plot, and it's up to our heroes to help (insert literally all 7 main prosecutors here). There's also usually a detective character playing the role of CluelessDetective and/or InspectorLestrade who is an obstacle to our heroes' mystery solving, but usually pulls through to help (Dick Gumshoe, Ema Skye, Bobby Fulbright, Tobias Gregson/Gina Lestrade; the last of which being ''[[GenderFlip literally]]'' inspector Lestrade, [[spoiler:although it gets [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] with Fullbright and Gregson]]. There might also be a TagalongKid (Pearl Fey, Iris Wilson, debatably even Rayfa). Even the [[GaidenGame Miles Edgeworth spinoff games, which play very differently]], they attempt to fill these roles, with Edgeworth as the "defense attorney" role, Kay as his quirky girl sidekick, with various adversaries filling "prosecutor" and "detective" roles (Shi-Long Lang, Tyrell Badd, Justine Courtney, Sebastian Debeste, etc.)

* The ''Literature/{{Deryni}}'' novels feature a GeodesicCast of duos (Morgan and Duncan, Cardiel and Arilan, Kelson and Dhugal, Alyce and Vera, Charissa and Ian Howell, Wencit and Rhydon, Loris and Gorony) and groups (Camber and his family, the Camberian Council, the evil human regents of the tenth century, the [=de Corwyns=]/Morgans/[=McLains=], the religious hierarchy, the royal courts - Festillic, Haldane, Torenthi, Mearan, Trailian). Justified in that this reflects the many loyalties individuals have: to family, to feudal overlord (and ultimately the king), to Church and its God, to the human race(s). [[ConflictingLoyalties The loyalties and the conflicts between them]] are a large part of the interest for the reader. As a fellow Camberian Council member tells Denis Arilan, "Pray to every god in heaven that you are never forced to choose among your oaths."
