-->Voiced By: Creator/RogerCraigSmith (English), Creator/JunichiKanemaru (Japanese)
----
* ArchEnemy: To Eggman, natch. And to Lyric in ''Rise of Lyric''.
* {{Badbutt}}: It's Sonic, people.
* BadassesWearBandanas: He wears a neckerchief and is undeniably badass.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: He's a rare male example of the "Beauty" in this trio.
* BeingGoodSucks: Going hand-in-hand with DudeWheresMyRespect below; no matter how much good he does, the villagers always seem prepared to believe the worst in him and turn on him at a moment's notice. This reaches a head in "Just a Guy," where he launches into a rant over it and ultimately goes into a TenMinuteRetirement:
-->'''Sonic''': You know what I think is "compassionate?" Saving the village from Eggman! Like, every week! But do I get any props for that? No! Everyone just goes around gasping at me whenever I call a guy a "guy," or people "people!" I quit heroing! And I quit this stupid group!
* BerserkButton: ''Don't'' say that you're faster than he is.
* BigBrotherInstinct: As per usual with most versions of Sonic, he is very protective and caring towards Tails.
* BrutalHonesty: When fed up with Eggman being TheThingThatWouldNotLeave in "Can an Evil Genius...", he does ''not'' try to hide it:
-->'''Sonic''': How do I say this delicately? You're a horrible roommate and nobody in this house likes you.\\
'''Amy''': Let's frame our statements with "When you do this, it makes me feel this."\\
'''Sonic''': Fine, okay. Uh, let's see... When you... live here... it makes me... feel angry... because you're a horrible roommate and nobody in this house likes you.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Coconut husks, as revealed in "Fortress of Squalitude".
* CurbStompBattle: The ColdOpen to the game (seen in the Gamescom 2014 trailer) has Sonic surrounded, and subsequently shot, by several of Lyric's drones.
--> ''"Ugh... not my best moment. But hey, even in the face of certain doom, I still look good."''
* DanceBattler: As usual, Sonic is packing a lot of break-dancing inspired kicks.
* DeadpanSnarker: Emphasis on "deadpan". No matter how ridiculous a situation will get, you can expect Sonic to have an exasperated look on his face while commenting on it.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Sonic's profile pic shows that "planning ahead" is one of his dislikes. ''Sidekick'' gives a demonstration:
-->'''Sonic:''' I was just trying to protect you...\\
'''Tails:''' How? By putting me in ''more'' danger?!\\
'''Sonic:''' The plan had holes!
** [[spoiler:Sonic's plan to lure Eggman and Lyric away from town and play KeepAway with the Radiant Crystal ends with half of Slowpoke Isle razed via Metal Sonic.]]
* DudeWheresMyRespect: In the cartoon, no matter how many times Sonic saves the village from Eggman, they turn on him or assume the worst of him at the drop of a hat over anything, no matter how large or small. This causes him to [[spoiler:[[RageBreakingPoint have a go at his team]] during one of Amy's seminars because he's fed up with how he gets treated.]]
* ExhaustedEyeBags: Sonic has these after a while of living with Eggman who did his utmost to keep Sonic and Tails up as part of a BatmanGambit.
* ExtremityExtremist: When not using his RollingAttack, Sonic is almost exclusively using kicks.
* FatalFlaw: As with many previous interpretations, Sonic can be rather cocky and reckless at times (see DidntThinkThisThrough).
* FreudianSlip: After he and Knux take down the first boss in the Pit, Sonic says, "We did it!" even though he's supposedly a loner (and insists that Knux misheard him when he points it out).
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Lampshaded in "My Fair Sticksy", wherein he agrees to escort Sticks to an award ceremony, but under the condition of not wearing pants. At the ceremony itself, all he wears is a sport coat.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome: Including his legs, and his ''shoes''.
* HatesBeingTouched: Whenever he and his friends do a "group hug", Sonic can be seen with a apathetic and disgusted look on his face. He even flat out says "No" when Amy suggests a pre-mission hug in the episode "Can An Evil Genius Crash On Your Couch For A Few Days?".
* TheHero: But of course.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Tails (as usual) and Knuckles.
* InformedFlaw: According to the developers, Sonic would start out the video games as a loner, and would need to learn the value of teamwork. When Rise of Lyric starts out, Sonic is fighting Eggman alongside his friends as he always does. Shadow even considers Sonic's reliance on his friends to be a weakness. Whenever Sonic tries to take the credit for what the group does collectively, it comes off more like his usual showboating instead of a genuine "IWorkAlone" attitude. In fact, in "Shattered Crystal", Sonic is always the first to suggest teamwork.
* IronicEcho: [[spoiler:Due to a StableTimeLoop.]]
-->[[spoiler:''"You and I have unfinished business."'']]
* ItsXIHateX: When introduced to the snakelike mechanoids in the Pit, we get this Indiana Jones-ish line.
--> "Snakes. I ''hate'' snakes."
* IWorkAlone: WordOfGod says he's reluctant to work with others, but it's more of an InformedFlaw. However, [[spoiler:he tries to take responsibility for setting Lyric free by isolating himself from the group en route to Slowpoke Isle, but the resulting events come back to haunt him with a vengeance.]] He also tries this again at the Purification Plant; Amy was not having it.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Sonic is usually on top for his heroism. Odd time he acts like a JerkAss however usually backfire on him:
** ''Into the Wilderness'': Despite Amy and Sticks helping the boys behind the scenes, Sonic walks off snickering about their predicament when they're stuck in a hole. [[spoiler:Said hole is a missile silo, which helps the girls win the race.]]
** ''Designated Heroes'': [[spoiler:Sonic tries to hog the glory for caging Eggman at the end after the group get him ensnared. They proceed to disable the barrier long enough to stuff Sonic in there with him.]]
* TheLeader: A level headed, DeadpanSnarker OnlySaneMan type. In contrast to his main series counterpart who was a headstrong type blasting through every challenge with Sonic Speed.
* LeeroyJenkins: According his official bio, Sonic hates planning ahead. There is a multitude of evidence from the TV series that supports this.
* MomentOfWeakness: Sonic hesitated when a horde of robots under Eggman's command descended upon the group outside of Lyric's Tomb, and he opened the door (despite Amy telling him, twice, not to do it) after Metal Sonic showed up instead of moving to help them in advance. Besides Eggman and Metal Sonic, everyone present at the event was angry with Sonic for what transpired[[spoiler:, including Shadow]]. Not only does this kick off the plot of the game, but Sonic [[spoiler:makes things worse during one of his attempts to rectify his mistake]].
* OnlySaneMan: Often comes off as this in many plot lines, between his dysfunctional team and Eggman's antics. Being Sonic, he's not ''completely'' lucid however.
* ShesNotMyGirlfriend: Says this about Amy when Eggman taunts him in "Bro Down Showdown".
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: A lot of jokes treat the "The" in "Sonic the Hedgehog" as his actual middle name.
* SpikyHair: His quills are designed to invoke this sort of impression.
* StraightMan: to Knuckles and sometimes to Sticks.
* SuperDrowningSkills: ''Sidekick'' reveals that Sonic still can't swim, requiring Tails to bail him out.
* SuperSpeed: Natch. It's also his defining characteristic in the video game.
* ATasteOfDefeat: At least two episodes have ended with him sharing the ButtMonkey role with Eggman after getting too egomaniacal (see LaserGuidedKarma above).
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Still loves his Chilidogs as seen in "Cowbot".
* TranquilFury: His reaction when Swifty the Shrew claims to be faster than he is.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Knuckles. The situation is reversed from the main line, with ''Sonic'' playing the loner role.
--> '''Sonic:''' If you can't keep up, just go along with [Tails and Amy].
* VocalEvolution: Creator/RogerCraigSmith gives Sonic a somewhat deeper and more serious sounding voice this time around, probably to better emphasize his loner status.

----
* AcePilot: Complete with a brand new CoolPlane. Of course, [[CaptainCrash he still has a poor track record with safety]].
* AdaptationalBadass: Like Amy, Tails is finally given a combat role after so many years of being put on the sidelines, with plenty of explosives to throw around.
* {{Adorkable}}: See all of his attempts to woo Zooey in ''"Tails' Crush"'' when the advice the others give him fail.
* AndThenWhat: In "Translate This", Tails demands that Eggman return UT to him, but when Eggman asks what would he do if he said no, Tails reveals that he didn't think that far ahead.
* AttackDrone: Buddy-bot can short out remote terminals and attack robots while Tails attends to other matters.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He recalibrates the Enerbeam binding array into individual units for the group's use after their first contact with Lyric.
* BadassAdorable: He hasn't lost any of his cuteness from the main series, and his gadgets arguably make him even more badass.
* BadassBookworm: Unlike his Sega counterpart as of late, Tails finally takes part in the action alongside his teammates without losing any of his intellect.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Brains
* BunglingInventor: Most of his inventions ''do'' work, but some not quite in the preferred manner. Universal Translator proves very unpopular after Tails fails to put any restriction into what it can translate out loud.
* CaptainCrash: As always, Tails seems literally incapable of flying a plane without crashing it-- though, to be fair, it's usually because of being damaged in battle.
* ChickMagnet: "Tails' Crush" has Zooey fall for him when he [[BeYourself stops trying everyone else's suggestions]], and "Fire in a Crowded Workshop" has Perci make bedroom eyes at him because she "like(s) a guy who's handy."
* DeadpanSnarker: It seems he gets this from Sonic, too. For instance, when Lyric states [[OmnicidalManiac his plans]]...
-->'''Tails:''' ''"Somebody needs a ''hug''."''
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Several of his inventions have this process, since Tails is a bit too eager to make new helpful gadgets.
** In "Translate This", Tails sneaks into Eggman's lair to rescue UT, but when he confronts Eggman and the latter asks what Tails would do if he said no, the fox genuinely doesn't know ''what'' to do. [[spoiler:Thankfully though, he does manage to improvise.]]
* ExhaustedEyeBags: Like Sonic, Tails gets these once Eggman starts living with them.
* FatalFlaw: Tails often seems a bit over-fixated with his inventions, especially when they're not 100% fool-proof. A pivotal plot point in "Circus of Plunders".
* FearOfThunder: Tails is still absolutely paralyzed with fright when thunder sounds, as "Cabin Fever" shows.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Tails' ability to glide or fly would probably have come in handy when he needed to bail out of his plane in the first episode.
* GadgeteerGenius: His penchant for mechanics hasn't changed, and he's packing plenty of gadgets for the game too.
* GogglesDoNothing: While they would come in handy while flying a plane, Tails doesn't bother putting them over his eyes in the trailer.
** Kind of justified in the fact that you wouldn't expect them to cover his big, blue, cartoony eyes, anyway. He wears them on odd occasions of intense tooling however.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome: He doesn't wear any on his hands, but like Sonic, he wears them on his shoes.
* HereWeGoAgain: Subverted. At the end of "Buster", when Sticks gives up Buster, Tails finds a stray octopus and asks if he can keep it as a pet, only for the octopus to promptly [[SwallowedWhole swallow him whole]]. Tails quickly changes his mind.
* HeliCritter: Tails's [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal main method of movement]], of course. In the games based on the show, this only amounts to gliding, unless in a [[CutscenePowerToTheMax cutscene]]. The show and comics have him flying around as usual, and using his tails to swim quickly.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sonic.
* HiddenDepths: Implied to have potential in script writing in "Eggman the Auteur".
* ImprovisedWeapon: While he fights Eggman's robots with bombs in the games based on the show and occasionally uses gadgets in the show itself, in the latter's case, he'll mainly grab an object in his vicinity and either throw it at the nearest bot or slam it down on top of them.
* InnocentProdigy: Tails is a gifted genius and inventor, but still often displays a childlike naiveté and enthusiasm.
* LittleProfessorDialog: Can slip into this sometimes, [[TechnoBabble especially when explaining things]].
* KidSidekick: He's Sonic's, of course.
* MrFixit: "Dr. Eggman's Tomato Sauce" has a big case of this; with his friends asking him to repair their electronics. He also fixed up Eggman's robots(Cubot) or reverse-engineered them(Cowbot) a few times.
* NiceGuy: Most of the time, he's generally the most mild-mannered out of the group.
* OhCrap: In 'The Sidekick', when he attempts to bail from the damaged Tornado, he pulls the ejection seat lever... completely out, looking at the audience with a look that says "I'm doomed."
* OnlySaneMan: If even Sonic screws up, Tails usually takes his position here instead.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: He's the shortest character, and also the smartest.
* {{Sidekick}}: To Sonic as usual.
* SuperSpeed: Not as much emphasis is put on it as with Sonic, and he does it by flying instead of running (just like his main series counterpart in both respects), but in ''Rise Of Lyric'' he's the only other character who can run on water.
** Unlike his main series counterpart, he doesn't have SuperReflexes to [[RequiredSecondaryPowers go along with it]] (seen when Eggman uses a slow motion device in the show).
* TemptingFate: The group finds a red crystal out in the open, and Tails just had to open his mouth...
--> '''Tails''': Finally, an easy one!\\
''*Driller Worm emerges in front of the group and eats the crystal*''\\
'''Amy''': [[YouJustHadToSayIt You just had to say something, didn't you?]]
* TheSmartGuy: The smartest member of the four, as usual.
** TheStrategist: His profile states he's the one who comes up with the plans and initiative.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: In ''Shattered Crystal'', Tails can [[StickyBomb "stick" enemies with grenades]]. He also throws explosives in ''Rise of Lyric''.
* UndyingLoyalty: Predictably, towards Sonic. He is ''very'' protective of his sidekick role, and during one FeudEpisode among the entire gang, it took a matter of seconds for Tails to reconcile and team up with Sonic.
* VitriolicBestBuds: He and Sonic have light moments of this. There is also occasional heat between him and Sticks due to her paranoia towards technology.
!!Knuckles the Echidna
[[quoteright:247:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/knucklessonicboom_5618.png]]
-->Voiced By: Creator/TravisWillingham (English), Creator/NobutoshiCanna (Japanese)
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He's a good deal more muscular than his main series counterpart.
* AscendedMeme: Their Facebook post about Knuckles the Echidna says that he doesn't like "leg day", a meme that was commonly poked at him for having an extremely buff body but very skinny legs.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Brawn, obviously
* BewareTheSillyOnes: In the first issue of the comic. [[spoiler:He ''really'' did not appreciate all the "oh God what an idiot" directed at him, most of which was from Amy.]]
** Knuckles in general. He is an exceptionally powerful and skilled martial artist, and his typical silliness is almost completely absent whenever he and his friends battle Eggman and his army.
* TheBigGuy: As usual, except that he now looks the part even more so than before.
* BloodKnight: He's not psychotic by any means, but he clearly loves to brawl. At one point in "Shattered Crystal", he gets excited at the idea of fighting his way through a canyon of death traps and enemies.
* BoisterousBruiser: Loud and pretty adventurous.
* BoxingBattler: His fighting style resembles this, with a few karate and wrestling elements mixed in.
* CatchPhrase: "[[NiceJobBreakingItHero Not cool, Sonic]]". He usually say this missing the point.
* CharacterExaggeration: The main series Knuckles was known for being gullible and occasionally one track minded. This version makes him a full blown idiot, to the point that can't read and has trouble telling his left from right.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Knuckles often acts like clueless manchild in the slice-of-life parts of every episode, but when a fight scene is involved, he proves to be an exceptionally competent fighter and team player.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Knuckles' IQ takes a real dive in this series. In the comics, at one point Amy says "I acknowledge I get... impatient with you sometimes." A few pages later Tails tells her, "Your impatience with him got us into this mess." But Knuckles isn't a little kid; he's 16. Now, what ''other'' kinds of people do you have to be 'patient' with?
* DrunkWithPower: At the end of "Mayor Knuckles", in which he attempts to pass a law that gives him political power over everything.
* DumbMuscle: Says off the wall things in both the cartoon and the game. The opening cut-scenes have him struggle to even tell left from right, and the comics show him unable to even count properly.
--->'''Knuckles:''' [[ShapedLikeItself Hey, there's things inside these things!]]
* ExtremityExtremist: Attacks primarily with punches, natch.
--> ''"That's why they call me '''Knuckles'''!"''
* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn: At the end of Issue #1 of the comic, Knuckles finally gets tired of Amy and goes to partner up with Eggman.]]
** [[spoiler:FakeDefector: It was all just an act to get back at her. Unfortunately he DidntThinkThisThrough and Eggman genuinely DID capture the gang in the process.]]
* FunPersonified: Knuckles acts like a happy-go-lucky goof in this franchise. He gets along surprisingly well with snarky Sonic.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: After acquiring the Enerbeam modules, Knuckles suggests using it to fling enemies at the statue.
* GroundPunch: He's seen doing this in the TV series' opening and in a commercial for the upcoming games. He has disabled Eggman's machinery at least twice using this attack throughout the show itself.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome: They do help in protecting hands after all.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sonic.
* HiddenDepths
** In ''My Fair Sticksy'', Knuckles shows that he's surprisingly good at playing the piano.
** In "Aim Low" and "Mayor Knuckles", he is shown to be [[http://sonic-nyoom.tumblr.com/post/118676425105/developing-a-new-headcanon-that-knuckles-is rather skilled in drawing and construction.]]
* IronButtMonkey: Despite his SuperStrength ([[SuperToughness or maybe because of it]]), Knuckles challenges Eggman for victim of the most slapstick abuse throughout the show.
* JustEatTheMacGuffin: [[spoiler:After Lyric is tied into a knot, Knuckles rips out his control unit and throws it away, causing Lyric's army of Sentinels to power down. None of them counted on Eggman finding it, however.]]
* TheLancer: Just as his main series counterpart was a responsible and serious foil to the headstrong and cocky main series Sonic, this interpretation makes Knuckles boisterous DumbMuscle to contrast with the jaded, toned-down Sonic. Both challenge Sonic's leadership, and he's more of a partner when they pair up rather than a sidekick like Tails.
* LargeHam: Has the comedic tendency to speak in a dramatic or poetic fashion, especially in "Mayor Knuckles".
* LeaderWannabe: One cutscene shows him trying to take command, but it's clear the others don't really take him seriously. He also tries interviewing Sonic to be his sidekick in the first episode of the cartoon, despite the fact that Sonic's the one doing the interviews.
* LiteralMinded: At least one instance, as he and Sonic descend into The Pit.
--> '''Knuckles:''' Whoa. We are ''definitely'' not at the beach anymore.\\
'''Sonic:''' You can say that again.\\
'''Knuckles:''' Whoa. We are ''definitely'' not at the beach anymore.\\
'''Sonic:''' [[DeadpanSnarker ...Shoulda seen that coming.]]
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "Not cool, [character]."
* MusclesAreMeaningful: Likely the reason he's so buff.
* NeverLearnedToRead: "My Fair Sticksy" reveals that Knuckles can't read. He seems to have subverted this in "Mayor Knuckles" and "Chili Dog Day Afternoon", however.
--> '''Knuckles:''' "Let me see that!" ''(grabs letter, scans it)'' "Oh wait, I can't read..."
** Averted in "Chili Dog Day Afternoon", in which he can read, and "Mayor Knuckles", in which he can write too.
* NoExceptYes: When Amy suggests she accompany Sonic to acquire the Tidal Crystal while Knuckles and Tails return to the village in case Eggman pays a visit, Knuckles voices offence at her taking charge... ''and then suggests the exact same plan''.
* NobodysThatDumb: Despite his airheadedness, Knuckles tends to catch on pretty quick when it's someone else's turn to hold the IdiotBall. Even he is dumbfounded Amy would fall for Eggman's flattery in "Fortress of Squalitude" for example.
* SmartBall: There are also times Knuckles can be smarter than his standard fare. For one, he pilots the Riptide, which is not an easy task when Swarmer Bots are zerging the group. There's also this line midway through Lyric's Tomb.
--->''"When doors open that you don't have to knock on, that usually means bad things are ahead."''
* SuperStrength: He's been known to effortlessly lift things that the rest of the cast combined couldn't so much as budge. He also obliterated the asteroid in ''Spacemageddonocalypse'' in one punch.
* SuperToughness: Even for a cartoon, it's downright shocking how much punishment he can take and still keep going.
* TestosteronePoisoning: He takes masculinity ''very'' seriously. When [[SociallyAwkwardHero Tails]] ask Knuckles for dating advice, he emphasizes the importance of lifting weights, eating red meat, and taking up woodworking. [[BadDate Things don't go as planned]].
* TheWorfEffect: Despite being the strongest team member, he's unable to damage Metal Sonic in "It Wasn't Me, It Was The One-Armed Hedgehog."
* TopHeavyGuy: His design here makes him really beefy on the top, but his legs are pretty thin by comparison. Fittingly, "leg day" is one of his dislikes.
* TookALevelInDumbass: [[GullibleLemmings Knuckles]] is blatantly TheDitz in the show itself, but thus far in the comics he's an outright ''meathead.'' It takes him a few seconds to ''understand left from right'' and he can't even count. ''Rise of Lyric'' tosses him the SmartBall a couple of times throughout.
* TunnelKing: His digging ability returns and now he shoots up with a {{Shoryuken}}.
** DiscardAndDraw: This apparently comes at the expense of his gliding skills from the Modern games, at least outside of the Archie comic series.
* UltimateAuthorityMayor: Attempts to become this in "Mayor Knuckles".
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Sonic, unsurprisingly. See Sonic above.
--> '''Knuckles:''' ''[after Sonic strongly hints that he should go join Amy and Tails instead]'' One of these days, I am gonna knock you out. ''Really.''
** Also Amy in the comics, between his increased dumbness and her increased snide temperament.
* WallCrawl: He can do this using his handspikes. He can even hang from the ceiling!
!!Amy Rose
[[quoteright:205:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amysonicboom_3323.png]]
-->Voiced By: Creator/CindyRobinson (English), Creator/TaekoKawata (Japanese)
----
* ActionGirl: Despite being as much of a girly girl as ever, she can hold her own just fine against Eggman's robots.
* AdaptationalBadass: Amy could be pretty badass in the regular games DependingOnTheWriter, but the creators said they designed Amy to be a more capable character in this series. In ''Rise of Lyric'', it shows.
* AdventureArchaeologist: Amy is a capable explorer and archaeologist in this continuity, with added acrobatic talent to go with it.
** [[spoiler:DistressedDamsel: Which is precisely why Lyric emphasizes detaining her in ''Shattered Crystal''.]]
* AllLovingHero: Deconstructed. While she's a believer in ThePowerOfFriendship, the other characters find this behavior strange or annoying. In the episode "Can an Evil Genius Crash on your Couch for a Few Days?" Amy tries to show Eggman some sympathy and affection, and Eggman is weirded out by it. Not to mention, Amy actively campaigns for Eggman to stay, even when he's making the entire team miserable. She also raises money for charities in her spare time (most prominently a campaign to give penguins sweaters) and is easily sweet talked by Barker with the premise of entertaining children in "Circus of Plunders".
* [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl Always Save the Boy]]: [[spoiler:When Lyric [[SadisticChoice threatens to shoot Sonic if the Crystals aren't turned over to him]], Amy drops them despite Sonic's plea and asks Lyric to let him go afterwards. [[KickTheDog Lyric proceeds to be a rat bastard and orders his bots to open fire anyway.]]]]
* AsideGlance: Does this in ''Fire & Ice'' on first contact with D-Fekt.
-->''"He'd make a great action figure if our adventures were ever merchandised." *winks to the camera*''
* BadassAdorable: More badass than in the main series, but just as cute as she ever was. Also counts as a GirlyBruiser.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Beauty. Often shares this with Sonic.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: WordOfGod states that Amy will always be the first to consider sympathy towards Eggman and other villains. When they try to exploit or betray her however, the gloves are off.
* CannotSpitItOut: Amy still has the universal constant of being in love with Sonic. This time out, she keeps it to herself rather than fawn obviously over him. This leads to the rare sight of Amy and Sonic alone for an entire level without once asking about dates or marriage.
** The cartoon, naturally, plays it for laughs. In "Translate This", Amy is actually visibly horrified when the Universal Translator nearly blurts out her crush for him. "Closed Door Policy" shows that she carries a picture of Sonic in her purse, but she insists it's a "[[ImplausibleDeniability picture of a platonic friend that (she has) no romantic interest in]]."
* TheChick: Less so than in the original series, but she retains elements of it.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Shows traces of this. In "The Sidekick" her idea of auditioning to be a sidekick is impersonating an Italian pizza man while juggling and singing "When the Saints Go Marching In".
** In "My Fair Sticksy", she suggests making wishes on falling meteors and wishes for a pony... ''as they are falling inside the very same town square they're currently in!''
* ControlFreak: Increasingly pushy and egocentric as the show goes on. Lampshaded by Sonic in "Closed Door Policy," when she organizes a yard sale for Sticks against her will after seeing all the junk she's hoarded:
-->'''Sonic:''' Amy, do you think maybe you're being a little too...."take charge"?
-->'''Amy:''' I'm only doing what anyone would do for a friend that's pathetic and hopeless.
-->'''Sticks:''' Hey, HEY!
* DeadpanSnarker: Not far behind Sonic in this respect. Jury's out on whether [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Sticks]] has this trait, [[WorldOfSnark but it seems to be contagious amongst the core protagonists]].
* DropTheHammer: Her Piko-Piko Hammer, as always.
* GamerChick: Tabletop version; "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies" has Amy playing the titular game with [[GoKartingWithBowser Eggman]], even going to [=PuppyCon=] with him over it.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In the earliest episodes, Amy is a lot more goofy and tolerant of similar behavior. Later episodes have her displaying bossy behavior and anger issues, with most of her CloudCuckoolander tendencies toned down.
* GenkiGirl: A trait carried over from the main canon.
-->''Rings! Wee!''
* HollywoodToneDeaf: She's hopeless at carrying a tune, as shown during the TerribleIntervieweesMontage of the first episode. "Sleeping Giant" has her singing irritate a rock monster to the point it gets up and leaves to avoid hearing it.
* LargeHam: The episode "The Sidekick" shows that Amy can, indeed, be this way.
* TheLeader: Her profile states she has natural leadership qualities for those around her, which makes her the charismatic type. Sonic may be the main character as usual, but Amy is generally the one calling the shots from what we've seen. The only reason the trial in "Don't Judge Me" even gets started is because she's not around to call everyone out on how ridiculous it is.
* LittleMissBadass: She's not any older than in the main series, but just as cute and much more badass.
* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: "Cabin Fever" has the cast finding and reading her play script-slash-fanfiction of them.
* OddFriendship: She and Eggman hang out in several episodes while the two are [[PunchClockVillain off the clock]]. Usually this ends with Eggman resorting to villainy against her, bringing things back to the status quo. However, in "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies", he relents on an evil scheme to rob a poodle playing figure when Amy loses her patience and threatens to end their friendship.
* OnlySaneMan: There are times Amy's like this in the show and in ''Rise of Lyric''. [[NotSoAboveItAll Then again...]]
* PinkIsFeminine: Has Pink fur and is still a GenkiGirl.
* RescueRomance: A subtle affectionate moment comes after Sonic saves her from an attack in "Translate This". The kicker comes when U.T. translates Sonic's usual cockiness into a compassionate comment.
* {{Sarashi}}: Complements the HandwrapsOfAwesome [[FridgeBrilliance and mitigates self-injury from the hammer]].
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Subverted in ''Rise of Lyric'', and ''only'' that (see ThreePointLanding). The show's Amy has, among other things, been torched by Knuckles' fire breath, shot out of a cannon into a palm tree, and been thrown in as a sad clown for a circus act.
* ATasteOfDefeat: "Chez Amy" ends with her restaurant destroyed by Eggman, and her left dealing with Meh Burger once again. Similar to Sonic's examples this was a [[LaserGuidedKarma hubris pivoted downfall.]]
* TeamMom: Her occasional moments of protectiveness have been emphasized much more in this series. Her profile lists her role as "The Backbone", and in ''Fortress of Squalitude'', the group demonstrates trouble getting things done without her.
** In "Don't Judge Me", after gatecrashing Eggman's KangarooCourt just before it falsely convicts Sonic, she outright says, "I was only gone for the weekend and look what happened".
* ThreePointLanding: Pulls it off in the game's first trailer, whereas the guys just fall on their faces. The game proper has it as her "long fall" landing pose.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: While Amy is not afraid to get her hands dirty, she does know a thing or two about fashion and etiquette. In "Fortress of Squalitude", Eggman hires her to redecorate his lair to get himself on the cover of a magazine.
* TookALevelInJerkass: The show's Amy was initially somewhat pompous, but still usually a cheery NiceGirl. The comics convey Amy as far more snide and curmudgeonly, the first story even pivoted by her impatient attitude towards Knuckles. This was later carried over into the show itself, including a tendency to get bossy.
* VocalEvolution: She sounds far less shrill than in past few games; now she sounds more like [[VideoGame/{{Blazblue}} Makoto Nanaya]] or [[VideoGame/Persona4Arena Labrys]][[note]]minus the [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents Bronx accent]] of course[[/note]].
* WomenAreWiser: She's the backbone of the group, and arguably the de facto leader when it's not Sonic himself. She's also, presumably, still one of the younger members at 12 years old.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Her new design is certainly rocking some class A here.

-->Voiced By: Creator/NikaFutterman (English), Creator/AoiYuuki (Japanese)
----
* {{Angrish}}: Reduced to this when construction of a mall being next to her hut in "Mayor Knuckles".
* AssKickingPose: She has a distinctive crouch she goes into whenever she feels threatened.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Her pigtails are styled in the shape of a boomerang, her signature weapon.
* BadassAdorable: A dangerous hunter in the form of a cute, furry badger.
* BareYourMidriff
* BattleBoomerang: Her weapon of choice is one.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Brawn. Shares this with Knuckles
* BrooklynRage: She has a BugsBunny-style Brooklyn/Queens accent, though it's [[OohMeAccentsSlipping noticeably stronger in some episodes than in others.]]
* CanonForeigner: She's not a part of the original universe, even though she uncannily resembles Marine the Raccoon from that universe.
* CanonImmigrant: She is appearing as a playable character in ''Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'', making her one of the very few Canon Foreigners of the Sonic franchise to appear in the actual games. She also has official artwork dedicated to her in the ''Sonic Channel'' official website.
* CloudCuckoolander: She's smart, but very paranoid and loopy. She's apparently not too fond of the government, either.
* TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight: On more than a few occasions, Sticks has been right to act abrasive around the strange inhabitants around her.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Living by herself has given her some extremely backwards ideas of how the world works. Chief among them being that everything is a massive conspiracy, and "the government" is out to get her. And then there's this gem:
--> '''Sticks''': "Crossin' paths with a cross-eyed moose brings a curse on the moose-crosser and the non-moose-crossed friends. DON'T YOU PEOPLE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SCIENCE?!"
* CrazyHomelessPeople: Downplayed, but present. Sticks is kooky, gets lost in her own little world, dumpster dives regularly, and while she does technically have a home, it's a ramshackle burrow rather than a house.
* CrazyPrepared: "My Fair Sticksy" reveals she's outfitted the village with a defense system for wildfires, meteors, floods, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and people trying to read her thoughts]].
* CutenessProximity: When interacting with Buster the robot dog. For a given value of "cute", anyway.
* {{Expy}}: Her orange, Down Under-styled design makes a whole lot more sense once you remember that the people behind the game also created the classic ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' trilogy in the [[TheNineties mid-90's.]]
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her shoes and bracelets don't match. Partly justified since living in the wild for years would put functionality over fashion.
* AGirlAndHerX: A Girl and Her Robot Dog. In the aptly titled "Buster", Sticks adopts a robot dog named Buster that she found in the trash. However, it's eventually revealed that Buster is a creation by Eggman to destroy the gang. Though she manages to regain control of him, she gives him up at the end of the episode.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: A downplayed, G-rated example. Because she's lived alone for most of her life before Sonic and his friends showed up, she's very paranoid and has outlandish ideas about how the world works in the modern age.
* GoodTimesMontage: In "Buster", she tries to stop the now Eggman-controlled Buster from killing the gang by saying he should remember the good times they had... however, none of the events shown in the montage actually happened. Thus, Buster remains unconvinced.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Her singing is even worse than Amy's, making all of her friends cower and cover their ears every time she tries. Strangely enough, the rock monster in "Sleeping Giant" is soothed by it. Lampshaded by Knuckles:
-->'''Knuckles''': That's not a lullaby. That's what happened when I drop bagpipes into a woodchipper.
* ImprovisedWeapon: She seems to have a knack for these. From bending a spoon into a boomerang to breaking a seashell in half, there's nothing she won't use as a weapon. Though when you've been living in the wild for so long, you'll come to realize that everything is a weapon.
* KidAppealCharacter: Looks to be about Tails' age.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Sticks is the only character of the main cast to not be wearing any gloves.
* NoSocialSkills: Living alone in the wild for years will do that. This gets deconstructed in the episode "My Fair Sticksy". Sticks gets invited to a gala at the mayor's mansion when she's nominated for an award, but she feels she's too feral to attend such a fancy party. And though Amy tries to teach her proper etiquette, Sticks' innate animal instincts fail her constantly. She sniffs people, licks her teacups, throws Knuckles across the dance floor, and slurps her soup very loudly, all in the same episode. The fact that "formal occasions" is one of her dislikes doesn't help her case. Ironically, her feral nature comes to the rescue when Eggman crashes the party with his robots.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: She can use it to tag out-of-the-way switches in ''Shattered Crystal'', too.
* ProperlyParanoid: ''Can an Evil Genius...'' has Sticks predicting that Eggman has an Obliteratorbot ready to deploy against the group along with his latest evil scheme. Turns out he actually ''did'' have a literally-named Obliteratorbot and an evil scheme to go with it.
-->"''Why doesn't anyone believe me? It's not like I'm paranoid! (stops, glares at own shadow) ''Stop following me!"
** In issue 6 of the comic, she doesn't trust Eggman's announcement of his Go-Karting Competition, because she says that Eggman will probably use some sort of 'bio-scanning Egg-what-cha-who-zits' to scan the others for a sinister plan. Turns out Eggman's karts ''do'' contain bio-scanning Egg-what-cha-who-zits(TM) that have scanned the other racers in anticipation for some unknown... operation.
* RememberTheNewGuy: She's a new character for this universe, but her introduction with the rest of the cast is completely unknown. The team just act like she's always been around.
* SarcasmBlind: Shown to be this after they [[spoiler:rescue Amy in ''Shattered Crystal'']].
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Even if she tends to [[TooKinkyToTorture willingly inflict it]] more than standard cases.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: An orange-colored, hyperactive, scatterbrained girl with Australian-styled quirks? [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Marine]], izzat you?
* TinfoilHat: Suggested a few times in ''Shattered Crystal''.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Given how similar they look, when Sticks' concept art was first shown, everyone was expecting Marine instead.
* VagueAge: It's not stated exactly how old she is, but she appears to be younger than Amy, and somewhere around Tails's age.
* VerbalTic: Has a habit of ending sentences with "man" when in paranoid mode.
* WildChild: She spent most of her life in the wilderness, and as such, is wilder and has a greater animal instinct than the other characters.

* ArchEnemy: To Eggman, natch. And to Lyric in ''Rise of Lyric''.
* {{Badbutt}}: It's Sonic, people.
* BadassesWearBandanas: He wears a neckerchief and is undeniably badass.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: He's a rare male example of the "Beauty" in this trio.
* BeingGoodSucks: Going hand-in-hand with DudeWheresMyRespect below; no matter how much good he does, the villagers always seem prepared to believe the worst in him and turn on him at a moment's notice. This reaches a head in "Just a Guy," where he launches into a rant over it and ultimately goes into a TenMinuteRetirement:
-->'''Sonic''': You know what I think is "compassionate?" Saving the village from Eggman! Like, every week! But do I get any props for that? No! Everyone just goes around gasping at me whenever I call a guy a "guy," or people "people!" I quit heroing! And I quit this stupid group!
* BerserkButton: ''Don't'' say that you're faster than he is.
* BigBrotherInstinct: As per usual with most versions of Sonic, he is very protective and caring towards Tails.
* BrutalHonesty: When fed up with Eggman being TheThingThatWouldNotLeave in "Can an Evil Genius...", he does ''not'' try to hide it:
-->'''Sonic''': How do I say this delicately? You're a horrible roommate and nobody in this house likes you.\\
'''Amy''': Let's frame our statements with "When you do this, it makes me feel this."\\
'''Sonic''': Fine, okay. Uh, let's see... When you... live here... it makes me... feel angry... because you're a horrible roommate and nobody in this house likes you.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Coconut husks, as revealed in "Fortress of Squalitude".
* CurbStompBattle: The ColdOpen to the game (seen in the Gamescom 2014 trailer) has Sonic surrounded, and subsequently shot, by several of Lyric's drones.
--> ''"Ugh... not my best moment. But hey, even in the face of certain doom, I still look good."''
* DanceBattler: As usual, Sonic is packing a lot of break-dancing inspired kicks.
* DeadpanSnarker: Emphasis on "deadpan". No matter how ridiculous a situation will get, you can expect Sonic to have an exasperated look on his face while commenting on it.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Sonic's profile pic shows that "planning ahead" is one of his dislikes. ''Sidekick'' gives a demonstration:
-->'''Sonic:''' I was just trying to protect you...\\
'''Tails:''' How? By putting me in ''more'' danger?!\\
'''Sonic:''' The plan had holes!
** [[spoiler:Sonic's plan to lure Eggman and Lyric away from town and play KeepAway with the Radiant Crystal ends with half of Slowpoke Isle razed via Metal Sonic.]]
* DudeWheresMyRespect: In the cartoon, no matter how many times Sonic saves the village from Eggman, they turn on him or assume the worst of him at the drop of a hat over anything, no matter how large or small. This causes him to [[spoiler:[[RageBreakingPoint have a go at his team]] during one of Amy's seminars because he's fed up with how he gets treated.]]
* ExhaustedEyeBags: Sonic has these after a while of living with Eggman who did his utmost to keep Sonic and Tails up as part of a BatmanGambit.
* ExtremityExtremist: When not using his RollingAttack, Sonic is almost exclusively using kicks.
* FatalFlaw: As with many previous interpretations, Sonic can be rather cocky and reckless at times (see DidntThinkThisThrough).
* FreudianSlip: After he and Knux take down the first boss in the Pit, Sonic says, "We did it!" even though he's supposedly a loner (and insists that Knux misheard him when he points it out).
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Lampshaded in "My Fair Sticksy", wherein he agrees to escort Sticks to an award ceremony, but under the condition of not wearing pants. At the ceremony itself, all he wears is a sport coat.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome: Including his legs, and his ''shoes''.
* HatesBeingTouched: Whenever he and his friends do a "group hug", Sonic can be seen with a apathetic and disgusted look on his face. He even flat out says "No" when Amy suggests a pre-mission hug in the episode "Can An Evil Genius Crash On Your Couch For A Few Days?".
* TheHero: But of course.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Tails (as usual) and Knuckles.
* InformedFlaw: According to the developers, Sonic would start out the video games as a loner, and would need to learn the value of teamwork. When Rise of Lyric starts out, Sonic is fighting Eggman alongside his friends as he always does. Shadow even considers Sonic's reliance on his friends to be a weakness. Whenever Sonic tries to take the credit for what the group does collectively, it comes off more like his usual showboating instead of a genuine "IWorkAlone" attitude. In fact, in "Shattered Crystal", Sonic is always the first to suggest teamwork.
* IronicEcho: [[spoiler:Due to a StableTimeLoop.]]
-->[[spoiler:''"You and I have unfinished business."'']]
* ItsXIHateX: When introduced to the snakelike mechanoids in the Pit, we get this Indiana Jones-ish line.
--> "Snakes. I ''hate'' snakes."
* IWorkAlone: WordOfGod says he's reluctant to work with others, but it's more of an InformedFlaw. However, [[spoiler:he tries to take responsibility for setting Lyric free by isolating himself from the group en route to Slowpoke Isle, but the resulting events come back to haunt him with a vengeance.]] He also tries this again at the Purification Plant; Amy was not having it.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Sonic is usually on top for his heroism. Odd time he acts like a JerkAss however usually backfire on him:
** ''Into the Wilderness'': Despite Amy and Sticks helping the boys behind the scenes, Sonic walks off snickering about their predicament when they're stuck in a hole. [[spoiler:Said hole is a missile silo, which helps the girls win the race.]]
** ''Designated Heroes'': [[spoiler:Sonic tries to hog the glory for caging Eggman at the end after the group get him ensnared. They proceed to disable the barrier long enough to stuff Sonic in there with him.]]
* TheLeader: A level headed, DeadpanSnarker OnlySaneMan type. In contrast to his main series counterpart who was a headstrong type blasting through every challenge with Sonic Speed.
* LeeroyJenkins: According his official bio, Sonic hates planning ahead. There is a multitude of evidence from the TV series that supports this.
* MomentOfWeakness: Sonic hesitated when a horde of robots under Eggman's command descended upon the group outside of Lyric's Tomb, and he opened the door (despite Amy telling him, twice, not to do it) after Metal Sonic showed up instead of moving to help them in advance. Besides Eggman and Metal Sonic, everyone present at the event was angry with Sonic for what transpired[[spoiler:, including Shadow]]. Not only does this kick off the plot of the game, but Sonic [[spoiler:makes things worse during one of his attempts to rectify his mistake]].
* OnlySaneMan: Often comes off as this in many plot lines, between his dysfunctional team and Eggman's antics. Being Sonic, he's not ''completely'' lucid however.
* ShesNotMyGirlfriend: Says this about Amy when Eggman taunts him in "Bro Down Showdown".
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: A lot of jokes treat the "The" in "Sonic the Hedgehog" as his actual middle name.
* SpikyHair: His quills are designed to invoke this sort of impression.
* StraightMan: to Knuckles and sometimes to Sticks.
* SuperDrowningSkills: ''Sidekick'' reveals that Sonic still can't swim, requiring Tails to bail him out.
* SuperSpeed: Natch. It's also his defining characteristic in the video game.
* ATasteOfDefeat: At least two episodes have ended with him sharing the ButtMonkey role with Eggman after getting too egomaniacal (see LaserGuidedKarma above).
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Still loves his Chilidogs as seen in "Cowbot".
* TranquilFury: His reaction when Swifty the Shrew claims to be faster than he is.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Knuckles. The situation is reversed from the main line, with ''Sonic'' playing the loner role.
--> '''Sonic:''' If you can't keep up, just go along with [Tails and Amy].
* VocalEvolution: Creator/RogerCraigSmith gives Sonic a somewhat deeper and more serious sounding voice this time around, probably to better emphasize his loner status.
!!Miles "Tails" Prower

-->Voiced By: [[Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey Colleen Villard]] (English), Creator/RyoHirohashi (Japanese)
----
* AcePilot: Complete with a brand new CoolPlane. Of course, [[CaptainCrash he still has a poor track record with safety]].
* AdaptationalBadass: Like Amy, Tails is finally given a combat role after so many years of being put on the sidelines, with plenty of explosives to throw around.
* {{Adorkable}}: See all of his attempts to woo Zooey in ''"Tails' Crush"'' when the advice the others give him fail.
* AndThenWhat: In "Translate This", Tails demands that Eggman return UT to him, but when Eggman asks what would he do if he said no, Tails reveals that he didn't think that far ahead.
* AttackDrone: Buddy-bot can short out remote terminals and attack robots while Tails attends to other matters.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He recalibrates the Enerbeam binding array into individual units for the group's use after their first contact with Lyric.
* BadassAdorable: He hasn't lost any of his cuteness from the main series, and his gadgets arguably make him even more badass.
* BadassBookworm: Unlike his Sega counterpart as of late, Tails finally takes part in the action alongside his teammates without losing any of his intellect.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Brains
* BunglingInventor: Most of his inventions ''do'' work, but some not quite in the preferred manner. Universal Translator proves very unpopular after Tails fails to put any restriction into what it can translate out loud.
* CaptainCrash: As always, Tails seems literally incapable of flying a plane without crashing it-- though, to be fair, it's usually because of being damaged in battle.
* ChickMagnet: "Tails' Crush" has Zooey fall for him when he [[BeYourself stops trying everyone else's suggestions]], and "Fire in a Crowded Workshop" has Perci make bedroom eyes at him because she "like(s) a guy who's handy."
* DeadpanSnarker: It seems he gets this from Sonic, too. For instance, when Lyric states [[OmnicidalManiac his plans]]...
-->'''Tails:''' ''"Somebody needs a ''hug''."''
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Several of his inventions have this process, since Tails is a bit too eager to make new helpful gadgets.
** In "Translate This", Tails sneaks into Eggman's lair to rescue UT, but when he confronts Eggman and the latter asks what Tails would do if he said no, the fox genuinely doesn't know ''what'' to do. [[spoiler:Thankfully though, he does manage to improvise.]]
* ExhaustedEyeBags: Like Sonic, Tails gets these once Eggman starts living with them.
* FatalFlaw: Tails often seems a bit over-fixated with his inventions, especially when they're not 100% fool-proof. A pivotal plot point in "Circus of Plunders".
* FearOfThunder: Tails is still absolutely paralyzed with fright when thunder sounds, as "Cabin Fever" shows.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Tails' ability to glide or fly would probably have come in handy when he needed to bail out of his plane in the first episode.
* GadgeteerGenius: His penchant for mechanics hasn't changed, and he's packing plenty of gadgets for the game too.
* GogglesDoNothing: While they would come in handy while flying a plane, Tails doesn't bother putting them over his eyes in the trailer.
** Kind of justified in the fact that you wouldn't expect them to cover his big, blue, cartoony eyes, anyway. He wears them on odd occasions of intense tooling however.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome: He doesn't wear any on his hands, but like Sonic, he wears them on his shoes.
* HereWeGoAgain: Subverted. At the end of "Buster", when Sticks gives up Buster, Tails finds a stray octopus and asks if he can keep it as a pet, only for the octopus to promptly [[SwallowedWhole swallow him whole]]. Tails quickly changes his mind.
* HeliCritter: Tails's [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal main method of movement]], of course. In the games based on the show, this only amounts to gliding, unless in a [[CutscenePowerToTheMax cutscene]]. The show and comics have him flying around as usual, and using his tails to swim quickly.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sonic.
* HiddenDepths: Implied to have potential in script writing in "Eggman the Auteur".
* ImprovisedWeapon: While he fights Eggman's robots with bombs in the games based on the show and occasionally uses gadgets in the show itself, in the latter's case, he'll mainly grab an object in his vicinity and either throw it at the nearest bot or slam it down on top of them.
* InnocentProdigy: Tails is a gifted genius and inventor, but still often displays a childlike naiveté and enthusiasm.
* LittleProfessorDialog: Can slip into this sometimes, [[TechnoBabble especially when explaining things]].
* KidSidekick: He's Sonic's, of course.
* MrFixit: "Dr. Eggman's Tomato Sauce" has a big case of this; with his friends asking him to repair their electronics. He also fixed up Eggman's robots(Cubot) or reverse-engineered them(Cowbot) a few times.
* NiceGuy: Most of the time, he's generally the most mild-mannered out of the group.
* OhCrap: In 'The Sidekick', when he attempts to bail from the damaged Tornado, he pulls the ejection seat lever... completely out, looking at the audience with a look that says "I'm doomed."
* OnlySaneMan: If even Sonic screws up, Tails usually takes his position here instead.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: He's the shortest character, and also the smartest.
* {{Sidekick}}: To Sonic as usual.
* SuperSpeed: Not as much emphasis is put on it as with Sonic, and he does it by flying instead of running (just like his main series counterpart in both respects), but in ''Rise Of Lyric'' he's the only other character who can run on water.
** Unlike his main series counterpart, he doesn't have SuperReflexes to [[RequiredSecondaryPowers go along with it]] (seen when Eggman uses a slow motion device in the show).
* TemptingFate: The group finds a red crystal out in the open, and Tails just had to open his mouth...
--> '''Tails''': Finally, an easy one!\\
''*Driller Worm emerges in front of the group and eats the crystal*''\\
'''Amy''': [[YouJustHadToSayIt You just had to say something, didn't you?]]
* TheSmartGuy: The smartest member of the four, as usual.
** TheStrategist: His profile states he's the one who comes up with the plans and initiative.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: In ''Shattered Crystal'', Tails can [[StickyBomb "stick" enemies with grenades]]. He also throws explosives in ''Rise of Lyric''.
* UndyingLoyalty: Predictably, towards Sonic. He is ''very'' protective of his sidekick role, and during one FeudEpisode among the entire gang, it took a matter of seconds for Tails to reconcile and team up with Sonic.
* VitriolicBestBuds: He and Sonic have light moments of this. There is also occasional heat between him and Sticks due to her paranoia towards technology.
!!Knuckles the Echidna
[[quoteright:247:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/knucklessonicboom_5618.png]]
-->Voiced By: Creator/TravisWillingham (English), Creator/NobutoshiCanna (Japanese)
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He's a good deal more muscular than his main series counterpart.
* AscendedMeme: Their Facebook post about Knuckles the Echidna says that he doesn't like "leg day", a meme that was commonly poked at him for having an extremely buff body but very skinny legs.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Brawn, obviously
* BewareTheSillyOnes: In the first issue of the comic. [[spoiler:He ''really'' did not appreciate all the "oh God what an idiot" directed at him, most of which was from Amy.]]
** Knuckles in general. He is an exceptionally powerful and skilled martial artist, and his typical silliness is almost completely absent whenever he and his friends battle Eggman and his army.
* TheBigGuy: As usual, except that he now looks the part even more so than before.
* BloodKnight: He's not psychotic by any means, but he clearly loves to brawl. At one point in "Shattered Crystal", he gets excited at the idea of fighting his way through a canyon of death traps and enemies.
* BoisterousBruiser: Loud and pretty adventurous.
* BoxingBattler: His fighting style resembles this, with a few karate and wrestling elements mixed in.
* CatchPhrase: "[[NiceJobBreakingItHero Not cool, Sonic]]". He usually say this missing the point.
* CharacterExaggeration: The main series Knuckles was known for being gullible and occasionally one track minded. This version makes him a full blown idiot, to the point that can't read and has trouble telling his left from right.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Knuckles often acts like clueless manchild in the slice-of-life parts of every episode, but when a fight scene is involved, he proves to be an exceptionally competent fighter and team player.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Knuckles' IQ takes a real dive in this series. In the comics, at one point Amy says "I acknowledge I get... impatient with you sometimes." A few pages later Tails tells her, "Your impatience with him got us into this mess." But Knuckles isn't a little kid; he's 16. Now, what ''other'' kinds of people do you have to be 'patient' with?
* DrunkWithPower: At the end of "Mayor Knuckles", in which he attempts to pass a law that gives him political power over everything.
* DumbMuscle: Says off the wall things in both the cartoon and the game. The opening cut-scenes have him struggle to even tell left from right, and the comics show him unable to even count properly.
--->'''Knuckles:''' [[ShapedLikeItself Hey, there's things inside these things!]]
* ExtremityExtremist: Attacks primarily with punches, natch.
--> ''"That's why they call me '''Knuckles'''!"''
* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn: At the end of Issue #1 of the comic, Knuckles finally gets tired of Amy and goes to partner up with Eggman.]]
** [[spoiler:FakeDefector: It was all just an act to get back at her. Unfortunately he DidntThinkThisThrough and Eggman genuinely DID capture the gang in the process.]]
* FunPersonified: Knuckles acts like a happy-go-lucky goof in this franchise. He gets along surprisingly well with snarky Sonic.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: After acquiring the Enerbeam modules, Knuckles suggests using it to fling enemies at the statue.
* GroundPunch: He's seen doing this in the TV series' opening and in a commercial for the upcoming games. He has disabled Eggman's machinery at least twice using this attack throughout the show itself.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome: They do help in protecting hands after all.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sonic.
* HiddenDepths
** In ''My Fair Sticksy'', Knuckles shows that he's surprisingly good at playing the piano.
** In "Aim Low" and "Mayor Knuckles", he is shown to be [[http://sonic-nyoom.tumblr.com/post/118676425105/developing-a-new-headcanon-that-knuckles-is rather skilled in drawing and construction.]]
* IronButtMonkey: Despite his SuperStrength ([[SuperToughness or maybe because of it]]), Knuckles challenges Eggman for victim of the most slapstick abuse throughout the show.
* JustEatTheMacGuffin: [[spoiler:After Lyric is tied into a knot, Knuckles rips out his control unit and throws it away, causing Lyric's army of Sentinels to power down. None of them counted on Eggman finding it, however.]]
* TheLancer: Just as his main series counterpart was a responsible and serious foil to the headstrong and cocky main series Sonic, this interpretation makes Knuckles boisterous DumbMuscle to contrast with the jaded, toned-down Sonic. Both challenge Sonic's leadership, and he's more of a partner when they pair up rather than a sidekick like Tails.
* LargeHam: Has the comedic tendency to speak in a dramatic or poetic fashion, especially in "Mayor Knuckles".
* LeaderWannabe: One cutscene shows him trying to take command, but it's clear the others don't really take him seriously. He also tries interviewing Sonic to be his sidekick in the first episode of the cartoon, despite the fact that Sonic's the one doing the interviews.
* LiteralMinded: At least one instance, as he and Sonic descend into The Pit.
--> '''Knuckles:''' Whoa. We are ''definitely'' not at the beach anymore.\\
'''Sonic:''' You can say that again.\\
'''Knuckles:''' Whoa. We are ''definitely'' not at the beach anymore.\\
'''Sonic:''' [[DeadpanSnarker ...Shoulda seen that coming.]]
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "Not cool, [character]."
* MusclesAreMeaningful: Likely the reason he's so buff.
* NeverLearnedToRead: "My Fair Sticksy" reveals that Knuckles can't read. He seems to have subverted this in "Mayor Knuckles" and "Chili Dog Day Afternoon", however.
--> '''Knuckles:''' "Let me see that!" ''(grabs letter, scans it)'' "Oh wait, I can't read..."
** Averted in "Chili Dog Day Afternoon", in which he can read, and "Mayor Knuckles", in which he can write too.
* NoExceptYes: When Amy suggests she accompany Sonic to acquire the Tidal Crystal while Knuckles and Tails return to the village in case Eggman pays a visit, Knuckles voices offence at her taking charge... ''and then suggests the exact same plan''.
* NobodysThatDumb: Despite his airheadedness, Knuckles tends to catch on pretty quick when it's someone else's turn to hold the IdiotBall. Even he is dumbfounded Amy would fall for Eggman's flattery in "Fortress of Squalitude" for example.
* SmartBall: There are also times Knuckles can be smarter than his standard fare. For one, he pilots the Riptide, which is not an easy task when Swarmer Bots are zerging the group. There's also this line midway through Lyric's Tomb.
--->''"When doors open that you don't have to knock on, that usually means bad things are ahead."''
* SuperStrength: He's been known to effortlessly lift things that the rest of the cast combined couldn't so much as budge. He also obliterated the asteroid in ''Spacemageddonocalypse'' in one punch.
* SuperToughness: Even for a cartoon, it's downright shocking how much punishment he can take and still keep going.
* TestosteronePoisoning: He takes masculinity ''very'' seriously. When [[SociallyAwkwardHero Tails]] ask Knuckles for dating advice, he emphasizes the importance of lifting weights, eating red meat, and taking up woodworking. [[BadDate Things don't go as planned]].
* TheWorfEffect: Despite being the strongest team member, he's unable to damage Metal Sonic in "It Wasn't Me, It Was The One-Armed Hedgehog."
* TopHeavyGuy: His design here makes him really beefy on the top, but his legs are pretty thin by comparison. Fittingly, "leg day" is one of his dislikes.
* TookALevelInDumbass: [[GullibleLemmings Knuckles]] is blatantly TheDitz in the show itself, but thus far in the comics he's an outright ''meathead.'' It takes him a few seconds to ''understand left from right'' and he can't even count. ''Rise of Lyric'' tosses him the SmartBall a couple of times throughout.
* TunnelKing: His digging ability returns and now he shoots up with a {{Shoryuken}}.
** DiscardAndDraw: This apparently comes at the expense of his gliding skills from the Modern games, at least outside of the Archie comic series.
* UltimateAuthorityMayor: Attempts to become this in "Mayor Knuckles".
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Sonic, unsurprisingly. See Sonic above.
--> '''Knuckles:''' ''[after Sonic strongly hints that he should go join Amy and Tails instead]'' One of these days, I am gonna knock you out. ''Really.''
** Also Amy in the comics, between his increased dumbness and her increased snide temperament.
* WallCrawl: He can do this using his handspikes. He can even hang from the ceiling!
!!Amy Rose
[[quoteright:205:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amysonicboom_3323.png]]
-->Voiced By: Creator/CindyRobinson (English), Creator/TaekoKawata (Japanese)
----
* ActionGirl: Despite being as much of a girly girl as ever, she can hold her own just fine against Eggman's robots.
* AdaptationalBadass: Amy could be pretty badass in the regular games DependingOnTheWriter, but the creators said they designed Amy to be a more capable character in this series. In ''Rise of Lyric'', it shows.
* AdventureArchaeologist: Amy is a capable explorer and archaeologist in this continuity, with added acrobatic talent to go with it.
** [[spoiler:DistressedDamsel: Which is precisely why Lyric emphasizes detaining her in ''Shattered Crystal''.]]
* AllLovingHero: Deconstructed. While she's a believer in ThePowerOfFriendship, the other characters find this behavior strange or annoying. In the episode "Can an Evil Genius Crash on your Couch for a Few Days?" Amy tries to show Eggman some sympathy and affection, and Eggman is weirded out by it. Not to mention, Amy actively campaigns for Eggman to stay, even when he's making the entire team miserable. She also raises money for charities in her spare time (most prominently a campaign to give penguins sweaters) and is easily sweet talked by Barker with the premise of entertaining children in "Circus of Plunders".
* [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl Always Save the Boy]]: [[spoiler:When Lyric [[SadisticChoice threatens to shoot Sonic if the Crystals aren't turned over to him]], Amy drops them despite Sonic's plea and asks Lyric to let him go afterwards. [[KickTheDog Lyric proceeds to be a rat bastard and orders his bots to open fire anyway.]]]]
* AsideGlance: Does this in ''Fire & Ice'' on first contact with D-Fekt.
-->''"He'd make a great action figure if our adventures were ever merchandised." *winks to the camera*''
* BadassAdorable: More badass than in the main series, but just as cute as she ever was. Also counts as a GirlyBruiser.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Beauty. Often shares this with Sonic.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: WordOfGod states that Amy will always be the first to consider sympathy towards Eggman and other villains. When they try to exploit or betray her however, the gloves are off.
* CannotSpitItOut: Amy still has the universal constant of being in love with Sonic. This time out, she keeps it to herself rather than fawn obviously over him. This leads to the rare sight of Amy and Sonic alone for an entire level without once asking about dates or marriage.
** The cartoon, naturally, plays it for laughs. In "Translate This", Amy is actually visibly horrified when the Universal Translator nearly blurts out her crush for him. "Closed Door Policy" shows that she carries a picture of Sonic in her purse, but she insists it's a "[[ImplausibleDeniability picture of a platonic friend that (she has) no romantic interest in]]."
* TheChick: Less so than in the original series, but she retains elements of it.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Shows traces of this. In "The Sidekick" her idea of auditioning to be a sidekick is impersonating an Italian pizza man while juggling and singing "When the Saints Go Marching In".
** In "My Fair Sticksy", she suggests making wishes on falling meteors and wishes for a pony... ''as they are falling inside the very same town square they're currently in!''
* ControlFreak: Increasingly pushy and egocentric as the show goes on. Lampshaded by Sonic in "Closed Door Policy," when she organizes a yard sale for Sticks against her will after seeing all the junk she's hoarded:
-->'''Sonic:''' Amy, do you think maybe you're being a little too...."take charge"?
-->'''Amy:''' I'm only doing what anyone would do for a friend that's pathetic and hopeless.
-->'''Sticks:''' Hey, HEY!
* DeadpanSnarker: Not far behind Sonic in this respect. Jury's out on whether [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Sticks]] has this trait, [[WorldOfSnark but it seems to be contagious amongst the core protagonists]].
* DropTheHammer: Her Piko-Piko Hammer, as always.
* GamerChick: Tabletop version; "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies" has Amy playing the titular game with [[GoKartingWithBowser Eggman]], even going to [=PuppyCon=] with him over it.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In the earliest episodes, Amy is a lot more goofy and tolerant of similar behavior. Later episodes have her displaying bossy behavior and anger issues, with most of her CloudCuckoolander tendencies toned down.
* GenkiGirl: A trait carried over from the main canon.
-->''Rings! Wee!''
* HollywoodToneDeaf: She's hopeless at carrying a tune, as shown during the TerribleIntervieweesMontage of the first episode. "Sleeping Giant" has her singing irritate a rock monster to the point it gets up and leaves to avoid hearing it.
* LargeHam: The episode "The Sidekick" shows that Amy can, indeed, be this way.
* TheLeader: Her profile states she has natural leadership qualities for those around her, which makes her the charismatic type. Sonic may be the main character as usual, but Amy is generally the one calling the shots from what we've seen. The only reason the trial in "Don't Judge Me" even gets started is because she's not around to call everyone out on how ridiculous it is.
* LittleMissBadass: She's not any older than in the main series, but just as cute and much more badass.
* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: "Cabin Fever" has the cast finding and reading her play script-slash-fanfiction of them.
* OddFriendship: She and Eggman hang out in several episodes while the two are [[PunchClockVillain off the clock]]. Usually this ends with Eggman resorting to villainy against her, bringing things back to the status quo. However, in "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies", he relents on an evil scheme to rob a poodle playing figure when Amy loses her patience and threatens to end their friendship.
* OnlySaneMan: There are times Amy's like this in the show and in ''Rise of Lyric''. [[NotSoAboveItAll Then again...]]
* PinkIsFeminine: Has Pink fur and is still a GenkiGirl.
* RescueRomance: A subtle affectionate moment comes after Sonic saves her from an attack in "Translate This". The kicker comes when U.T. translates Sonic's usual cockiness into a compassionate comment.
* {{Sarashi}}: Complements the HandwrapsOfAwesome [[FridgeBrilliance and mitigates self-injury from the hammer]].
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Subverted in ''Rise of Lyric'', and ''only'' that (see ThreePointLanding). The show's Amy has, among other things, been torched by Knuckles' fire breath, shot out of a cannon into a palm tree, and been thrown in as a sad clown for a circus act.
* ATasteOfDefeat: "Chez Amy" ends with her restaurant destroyed by Eggman, and her left dealing with Meh Burger once again. Similar to Sonic's examples this was a [[LaserGuidedKarma hubris pivoted downfall.]]
* TeamMom: Her occasional moments of protectiveness have been emphasized much more in this series. Her profile lists her role as "The Backbone", and in ''Fortress of Squalitude'', the group demonstrates trouble getting things done without her.
** In "Don't Judge Me", after gatecrashing Eggman's KangarooCourt just before it falsely convicts Sonic, she outright says, "I was only gone for the weekend and look what happened".
* ThreePointLanding: Pulls it off in the game's first trailer, whereas the guys just fall on their faces. The game proper has it as her "long fall" landing pose.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: While Amy is not afraid to get her hands dirty, she does know a thing or two about fashion and etiquette. In "Fortress of Squalitude", Eggman hires her to redecorate his lair to get himself on the cover of a magazine.
* TookALevelInJerkass: The show's Amy was initially somewhat pompous, but still usually a cheery NiceGirl. The comics convey Amy as far more snide and curmudgeonly, the first story even pivoted by her impatient attitude towards Knuckles. This was later carried over into the show itself, including a tendency to get bossy.
* VocalEvolution: She sounds far less shrill than in past few games; now she sounds more like [[VideoGame/{{Blazblue}} Makoto Nanaya]] or [[VideoGame/Persona4Arena Labrys]][[note]]minus the [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents Bronx accent]] of course[[/note]].
* WomenAreWiser: She's the backbone of the group, and arguably the de facto leader when it's not Sonic himself. She's also, presumably, still one of the younger members at 12 years old.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Her new design is certainly rocking some class A here.
!!Sticks the Jungle Badger

-->Voiced By: Creator/NikaFutterman (English), Creator/AoiYuuki (Japanese)
----
* {{Angrish}}: Reduced to this when construction of a mall being next to her hut in "Mayor Knuckles".
* AssKickingPose: She has a distinctive crouch she goes into whenever she feels threatened.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Her pigtails are styled in the shape of a boomerang, her signature weapon.
* BadassAdorable: A dangerous hunter in the form of a cute, furry badger.
* BareYourMidriff
* BattleBoomerang: Her weapon of choice is one.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Brawn. Shares this with Knuckles
* BrooklynRage: She has a BugsBunny-style Brooklyn/Queens accent, though it's [[OohMeAccentsSlipping noticeably stronger in some episodes than in others.]]
* CanonForeigner: She's not a part of the original universe, even though she uncannily resembles Marine the Raccoon from that universe.
* CanonImmigrant: She is appearing as a playable character in ''Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'', making her one of the very few Canon Foreigners of the Sonic franchise to appear in the actual games. She also has official artwork dedicated to her in the ''Sonic Channel'' official website.
* CloudCuckoolander: She's smart, but very paranoid and loopy. She's apparently not too fond of the government, either.
* TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight: On more than a few occasions, Sticks has been right to act abrasive around the strange inhabitants around her.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Living by herself has given her some extremely backwards ideas of how the world works. Chief among them being that everything is a massive conspiracy, and "the government" is out to get her. And then there's this gem:
--> '''Sticks''': "Crossin' paths with a cross-eyed moose brings a curse on the moose-crosser and the non-moose-crossed friends. DON'T YOU PEOPLE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SCIENCE?!"
* CrazyHomelessPeople: Downplayed, but present. Sticks is kooky, gets lost in her own little world, dumpster dives regularly, and while she does technically have a home, it's a ramshackle burrow rather than a house.
* CrazyPrepared: "My Fair Sticksy" reveals she's outfitted the village with a defense system for wildfires, meteors, floods, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and people trying to read her thoughts]].
* CutenessProximity: When interacting with Buster the robot dog. For a given value of "cute", anyway.
* {{Expy}}: Her orange, Down Under-styled design makes a whole lot more sense once you remember that the people behind the game also created the classic ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' trilogy in the [[TheNineties mid-90's.]]
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her shoes and bracelets don't match. Partly justified since living in the wild for years would put functionality over fashion.
* AGirlAndHerX: A Girl and Her Robot Dog. In the aptly titled "Buster", Sticks adopts a robot dog named Buster that she found in the trash. However, it's eventually revealed that Buster is a creation by Eggman to destroy the gang. Though she manages to regain control of him, she gives him up at the end of the episode.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: A downplayed, G-rated example. Because she's lived alone for most of her life before Sonic and his friends showed up, she's very paranoid and has outlandish ideas about how the world works in the modern age.
* GoodTimesMontage: In "Buster", she tries to stop the now Eggman-controlled Buster from killing the gang by saying he should remember the good times they had... however, none of the events shown in the montage actually happened. Thus, Buster remains unconvinced.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Her singing is even worse than Amy's, making all of her friends cower and cover their ears every time she tries. Strangely enough, the rock monster in "Sleeping Giant" is soothed by it. Lampshaded by Knuckles:
-->'''Knuckles''': That's not a lullaby. That's what happened when I drop bagpipes into a woodchipper.
* ImprovisedWeapon: She seems to have a knack for these. From bending a spoon into a boomerang to breaking a seashell in half, there's nothing she won't use as a weapon. Though when you've been living in the wild for so long, you'll come to realize that everything is a weapon.
* KidAppealCharacter: Looks to be about Tails' age.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Sticks is the only character of the main cast to not be wearing any gloves.
* NoSocialSkills: Living alone in the wild for years will do that. This gets deconstructed in the episode "My Fair Sticksy". Sticks gets invited to a gala at the mayor's mansion when she's nominated for an award, but she feels she's too feral to attend such a fancy party. And though Amy tries to teach her proper etiquette, Sticks' innate animal instincts fail her constantly. She sniffs people, licks her teacups, throws Knuckles across the dance floor, and slurps her soup very loudly, all in the same episode. The fact that "formal occasions" is one of her dislikes doesn't help her case. Ironically, her feral nature comes to the rescue when Eggman crashes the party with his robots.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: She can use it to tag out-of-the-way switches in ''Shattered Crystal'', too.
* ProperlyParanoid: ''Can an Evil Genius...'' has Sticks predicting that Eggman has an Obliteratorbot ready to deploy against the group along with his latest evil scheme. Turns out he actually ''did'' have a literally-named Obliteratorbot and an evil scheme to go with it.
-->"''Why doesn't anyone believe me? It's not like I'm paranoid! (stops, glares at own shadow) ''Stop following me!"
** In issue 6 of the comic, she doesn't trust Eggman's announcement of his Go-Karting Competition, because she says that Eggman will probably use some sort of 'bio-scanning Egg-what-cha-who-zits' to scan the others for a sinister plan. Turns out Eggman's karts ''do'' contain bio-scanning Egg-what-cha-who-zits(TM) that have scanned the other racers in anticipation for some unknown... operation.
* RememberTheNewGuy: She's a new character for this universe, but her introduction with the rest of the cast is completely unknown. The team just act like she's always been around.
* SarcasmBlind: Shown to be this after they [[spoiler:rescue Amy in ''Shattered Crystal'']].
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Even if she tends to [[TooKinkyToTorture willingly inflict it]] more than standard cases.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: An orange-colored, hyperactive, scatterbrained girl with Australian-styled quirks? [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Marine]], izzat you?
* TinfoilHat: Suggested a few times in ''Shattered Crystal''.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Given how similar they look, when Sticks' concept art was first shown, everyone was expecting Marine instead.
* VagueAge: It's not stated exactly how old she is, but she appears to be younger than Amy, and somewhere around Tails's age.
* VerbalTic: Has a habit of ending sentences with "man" when in paranoid mode.
* WildChild: She spent most of her life in the wilderness, and as such, is wilder and has a greater animal instinct than the other characters.
