** Bunnie Rabbot arguably had the least spotlight of the main Freedom Fighters, acting as a bit player at best in every appearance, is popular for her cyborg powers and is one of the few alternate media ''Sonic'' characters not to gain much disdain, compared to how Sally Acorn is [[BaseBreakingCharacter more infamously divisive]].

* A great deal of prominence has been given to Honey the Cat, an extraordinarily detailed character who was DummiedOut of ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters''. This may have motivated Sega's decision to [[PromotedToPlayable promote her to playable]] in the 2012 UsefulNotes/XboxLiveArcade and UsefulNotes/PlayStationNetwork UpdatedRerelease. She also got a lot of screentime in the Shattered World saga during [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics the Archie series']] last major run.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/SonicAdvanceTrilogy'':
** Vanilla the Rabbit, Cream's mother who memorably gets rescued at the end of her debut game. She's strictly a SatelliteCharacter for Cream, but she has many fans that find her attractive.
** Gemerl gets so little use nowadays that you would be excused to think he's not around anymore, even though ''Advance 3'''s ending clearly shows the latter is still active and living happily with Cream and her mother. FanWorks generally do not ignore Gemerl when using Cream's family in some manner.

** Tikal, in spite of being nothing more than an ExpositionFairy, still remains very popular with the fandom to this day and is frequently made part of the main cast in several FanWorks despite her status as a long dead spirit who gets to AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence at the end of her debut game appearance, with no further roles besides the occasional cameo.

* The [[EvilKnockoff Mecha Sonic]] from ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'' (officially known as Mecha Sonic Mk. II) has become especially popular to the point that some of his fans even prefer him over series mainstay Metal Sonic himself. Aside from his bulky, imposing design and being a memorable FinalBoss for Knuckles' campaign, his portrayal as Turbo Mecha Sonic in popular fan series ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'' may also have contributed to his status as this trope.

His surprise return in the ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'' miniseries ''Scrapnik Island'' was met with nearly universal praise, especially his revamped design and CharacterDevelopment.

** The ridiculously cute [[VirtualPet Chao]] were solidified as this following ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2Battle'''s massive overhaul of their gameplay. The Chao Garden mini-game in ''Battle'' is probably one of the greatest examples of SidetrackedByTheGoldenSaucer you can think of, to the point that a ''massive'' number of people have admitted to only buying the game for the express purpose of raising, evolving and playing with them. A very frequent request from fans ever since has been for SEGA to put a fully-fleshed out Chao Garden feature back in the newer ''Sonic'' games.

* ''WesternAnimation/SonicPrime'':
** After initially appearing in only two episodes, Knuckles the Dread quickly became one of the most popular new characters. This is likely due to his cool pirate design and unhinged, yet charming personality, making for a very unique take on an alternate universe Knuckles.
** Despite only appearing at the very end of one episode and halfway through the next [[spoiler:prior to being destroyed]], Chaos Sonic had made a large impression on the fandom with many loving the doppleganger for his amusing, chaotic {{Troll}} personality and being a very interesting take on the EvilKnockoff type of characters in the ''Sonic'' franchise.
