* AnnoyingLaugh: Scratch: \\\"Ba-HA ha-HAAAA!!\\\"
* ArmCannon: Grounder
* AudioErotica: Breezie\\\'s seductive voice is enough to make the fans go nuts, not to mention the rest of her.
* BadassMustache: Doctor Ivo Robotnik. Also, Mama Robotnik for a rare female example.
* {{Badbutt}}: Sonic most definitely fits.
* BaldOfEvil: Sonic has frustrated Robotnik so much, he made him \\\"Tear every hair from my [[LargeHam BEAUUUUUTIFUL HEAD!]]\\\"
* BadBoss: Robotnik [[PlayedForLaughs comically]] [[KickTheDog verbally and physically abuses]] his \\\"metallic moron\\\" minions on a very frequent basis. On more than a few occasions he has also [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness proved to find them]] [[YouHaveFailedMe rather despensible as well]].
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Mama Robotnik.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Robotnik has black eyes with [[RedEyesTakeWarning two red pupils]].
* BoobsOfSteel: Breezie, [[spoiler: literally.]]
* ButtMonkey: Robotnik\\\'s lackey Coconuts, who is actually a monkey, takes abuse most of the time simply for existing despite his rather extreme effort and enthusiasm, getting demoted constantly for mostly nothing. Scratch and Grounder aren\\\'t much better off either, but unlike Coconuts they at least don\\\'t get demoted (althought Robotnik admits they\\\'re useless anyways).
* CardCarryingVillain: Played with regarding Robotnik. Sure, he [[InsultBackfire likes being called despicable]] but there are moments when he will pretend to be a hero if his plans require it. [[spoiler:An example of this would be Over The Hill Hero, where he says to Captain Rescue \\\"I think we can fight rotten-ness just as good as that hedgehog.]].
* CatGirl: Catty Carlisle.
* ChickMagnet: Sonic, so very much.
* ChildProdigy: Tails keeps up with Sonic\\\'s lower cruising speeds, [[ADayInTheLimelight saves the day on occasion]], built a \\\'\\\'flying bicycle\\\'\\\' from scrap, studies \\\'\\\'the Big Bang\\\'\\\' in \\\'\\\'kindergarten\\\'\\\' -- and is \\\'\\\'\\\'four-and-a-half years old\\\'\\\'\\\'. And that\\\'s assuming you write up his claim of illiteracy to NegativeContinuity.
* CloudCuckoolander: Dr. Warpnik, Sketch Lampoon, and Professor Von Schlemmer.
* [[CoolBigSis Cool Little Bro]]: Tails, so very much.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: Roxy the waitress is a raccoon with blond hair.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Sonette is a brown squirrel with red hair.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Robotnik has some of this trope\\\'s characteristics, most notably [[MustacheTwirlingVillain mustahe-twirling]], [[CardCarryingVillain open and two-dimensional eeevilness]] and [[EvilLaugh bombastic diabolical laughter.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Robotnik himself.
-->\\\'\\\'\\\'Coconuts:\\\'\\\'\\\' I only wanted to tell you I saw one of those F.O.U\\\'s - I mean, C.I.A\\\'s, uh, or C.O.D\\\'s...
-->\\\'\\\'\\\'Robotnik:\\\'\\\'\\\' Get to the point or your name will be M.U.D.
** Also Dr. Quark\\\'s assistant D.O.O.F.U.S. takes this UpToEleven.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Breezie.
* DesignatedVictim: Tails. And \\\'\\\'how\\\'\\\'!
* DoAnythingRobot: Scratch and Grounder are full of all sorts of tools, up to and including [[DistractedByTheSexy inflatable supermodel decoys]].
* DumbMuscle: Da\\\' Bears. Boom Boom as well, although in his defense he\\\'s an infant.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Dr. Robotnik fears his mother, but he still loves her.
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Sonic for Merna the Merhog and Roxy the waitress.
* EvilRedhead: Catella and Dr. Quark.
* EvilLaugh: Robotnik has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II2zb1CUHmk a few utterly]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyI8YPaVyuk excellent ones]], but the one that stands out the most is Scratch\\\'s rooster laugh, which sounds like a trumpet.
* EvilIsHammy: Robotnik [[UpToEleven takes it up to eleven.]]
* EvillyAffable: Though Robotnik\\\'s villainy is taken somewhat lightly, some of it can seem pretty extreme [[FridgeHorror when you think about it]].
* EvilTwin: Pseudo Sonic.
* ExpressiveHair: Warpnik
* FatBastard: Dr. Robotnik.
* FieryRedhead: Catella.
** Also Robotnik and his mother.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Dr. Quark\\\'s assistant D.O.O.F.U.S. is highly intelligent and very powerful.
* FreudianExcuse: Dr. Robotnik is implied to have one in the form of his abusive mother, Momma Robotnik.
* FunnyForeigner: Capitan William Le Duck.
* GeniusDitz: Professor Von Schlemmer.
* GenreBlindness: Sonic tricks Grounder and Scratch endlessly all the time with various disguises, yet as far as they seem to know there\\\'s just a lot of hedgehogs all over the planet with a series of different and very diverse jobs.
* GenreSavvy: Robotnik. He may not fair much better than Grounder and Scratch in the department of victory, but at least he knows enough to try different methods to keep Sonic away (such as tempered steel and tricking people around Sonic rather than getting Sonic himself), and even then always assumes Sonic will show up and take out Scratch and Grounder at the minimum.
* GirlsHaveCooties: Tails.
* GuileHero: Sonic and Tails at certain times.
* HeelFaceTurn ([[spoiler:Robotnik Jr. and Breezie]])
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Wes Weasley. [[spoiler: He goes from evil salesman to selling a gadget to ruin Robotnik\\\'s life for a day, back to selling evil potions to stop Sonic to throwing sonic a dinner party which turns out to be a trap, but then saves Sonic when he gets double crossed but in the following appearance he tells Robotnik it was nothing personal and helps him run for president AND THEN when Robotnik loses he becomes the good candidates press secretary!]] At this point he has the automatic function active on the door.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Double-inverted with Catella and Dr. Robotnik. Catella\\\'s a redheaded villainess who wants Dr. Robotnik, another redheaded villain that doesn\\\'t want her.
** Also inverted with Sonic and Sonette, due to her being a StalkerWithACrush.
** Played straight with Lucas and Lucinda in the episode \\\"Best Hedgehog\\\".
* HeterosexualLifePartners Sonic and Tails, as well as \\\'\\\'\\\'Da Bears!\\\'\\\'\\\'
* HonestJohnsDealership Wes Weasley
* HotAmazon: Catella all the way.
* InformedDeformity: There\\\'s a lot made of Scratch and Grounder\\\'s supposed ugliness.
* LadyInRed: Breezie.
* LargeHam: Robotnik. Oh God, Robotnik. And his mother is even worse.
** Guess it just runs in the family.
* LaserGuidedTykebomb: The [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Sonic Super Special Search and Smash Squad]]. This combined with GoldfishPoopGang. Robotnik created Scratch and Grounder for the express purpose of hunting down and killing Sonic, but since the two have only a quarter of a brain between them, Sonic always ends up the winner.
* LastNameBasis: Dr. Robotnik, whose first name \\\"Ivo\\\" is only mentioned twice in the whole series.
* LaughablyEvil: Dr. Robotnik, partly in thanks to YoutubePoop.
** Not to mention Long John Baldry\\\'s wonderfully over-the-top performance.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Robotnik Jr. proves this in \\\"Sonic The Matchmaker\\\".
* MadScientist: Robotnik. His cousin Warpnik takes the \\\"mad\\\" part of this to an extreme.
* TheMagnificent: Listening to how Scratch and Grounder address Robotnik is one of the best parts of the show. Such as \\\"Your Masochisticness\\\".
* MeaningfulName: Most characters in the series have these.
* MostCommonSuperpower: Breezie and Katella.
* MsFanservice: [[AbsoluteCleavage Breezie]],[[BuxomBabe so]] [[LadyInRed very]] [[TheVamp much.]] She even gets her own PantyShot in the episode \\\"Sonic The Matchmaker\\\".
** Also Katella, a [[BuxomIsBetter very busty]] FieryRedhead ActionGirl, who is [[RapeIsOkayWhenItIsFemaleOnMale extremely aggressive in her romantic pursuit of Robotnik]]. Also, some of her means of displaying affection towards Robotnik, aside from being somewhat violent, [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar also clearly look sexual]].
* MyBelovedSmother: Robotnik, despite his evil nature, is completely at the mercy of his mother, who is even more demanding and has a \\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\' bad temper
* NonIdenticalTwins Scratch and Grounder, sort of. Scratch was built first, but Grounder was created in the exact same way -- except for Scratch pulling one additional lever on the control panel.
* OldSuperhero: Captain Rescue
* OneHeadTaller: Robotnik Jr. and Breezie.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Tails. This actually becomes a plot point in one episode, when a couple appears claiming to be his parents. Sonic eventually realizes that, if they were really his parents, they shouldn\\\'t have been calling him Tails; they should have been calling him Miles.
* PantyShot: One, from Breezie in \\\"Sonic the Matchmaker\\\"
* PaperThinDisguise: Much of Sonic\\\'s disguises are this. One\\\'s just Sonic with a hat and a bag of mail, and they fall for it.
** Lampshaded by Sonic when, to his alarm, sufficient doses of downloaded ninjutsu allow Scratch and Grounder to see through a disguise.
*** Also in the episode Grounder the Genius twice. The first time Sonic visits the fortress as a \\\"Chip Recycler\\\" and looks for the genius chip. Grounder says he has it which Sonic tries to get him, however Grounder, now being a genius, petrifies him aware that this would happen. Another example is later where Grounder makes out a trap and tosses it away far before anything bad happens. Sonic takes off his disguise and Grounder states he already knew Sonic was going to pull that.
** At one point, Sonic even [[BreakingTheFourthWall winks at the audience]] while showing himself through disguise.
** In \\\'\\\'Too Tall Tails\\\'\\\' Sonic actually takes off his disguise mid way through one of his schemes. Scratch and Grounder \\\'\\\'still don\\\'t recognise him\\\'\\\'!
*** Dr. Robotnik actually does manage to see through the majority of Sonic\\\'s disguises, however the few times he does it is either a few moments too late, or he\\\'s too far away to tell Grounder and Scratch, the ones typically being tricked.
* ParentalAbandonment:Tails
* ParentsForADay: Scratch and Grounder, for one episode. Sonic and Tails babysitting Beavers in another.
* ProphetEyes: Sonette
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Played straight with Robotnik, but Averted with Robotnik Jr.
* RescueRomance Played straight, and invoked at one point
* TheRival: Dr. Quark for Dr. Robotnik.
* RoboSexual: Robotnik himself proved this when he created a robot wife.
* RobotGirl: [[spoiler: Breezie]]
* RoboticSpouse: Robotnik creates one for himself in one episode
** And another when he was running for president.
* RuleAbidingRebel: Sonic
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Due to various circumstances, D.O.O.F.U.S. (Quark\\\'s [[TheDragon robot henchman]]) opts for doing this near the end of \\\"Robotnik\\\'s Rival\\\".
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Whenever Robotnik\\\'s insulting his minions, he goes through enough big words to fill a novel \\\"Seditious slabs of insalubrious circuitry!\\\"). Scratch and Grounder struggle to find big enough words to address him, and come up with things like \\\"putridity\\\", \\\"maliciousness\\\", \\\"repulsiveness\\\", and so on.
* SharpDressedMan: Sonic in some of his disguises counts for this.
* ShesGotLegs: Breezie and Catella.
* ShirtlessScene: Robotnik gets [[FanDisservice quite a few]]
* SimpletonVoice: Grounder
* SmugSnake: Grounder, when he temporarily becomes a genius.
* StalkerWithACrush: Sonette and Catella.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: At one point, Mama Robotnik had a mustache just like her son\\\'s.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Grounder.
* TagalongKid: Tails.
* TeenGenius: Sonic has his moments of this.
* TerribleTrio: The Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Scratch and Grounder.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Da\\\' Bears.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Robotnik Jr. and Breezie.
* TrrrillingRrrs Dr. Rrrobotnik does this quite frrrequently
** \\\"I\\\'ll have to :give myself a PRRRRROMOTION\\\"
* UglyGuyHotWife: Robotnik Jr. and Breezie. Also Robotnik and Catella.
* UnmovingPlaid: Wes Weasley
* TheVamp: Breezie and Catella.
* YiddishAsASecondLanguage: At one point, Robotnik\\\'s mother calls him \\\"Bubbeleh.\\\"

Since they were taking up a good chunk of the page, I think it would be better to make a separate Characters page for them.
