List of Sonic Hedgehog characters

The Sonic Hedgehog video game franchise began in 1991 with the game Sonic Hedgehog for the Nintendo Genesis, which pitted a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog named Sonic against a rotund male human villain named Doctor Neo Cortex alongside his partner Doctor Nitrus Brio and their Mutant henchmen. The sequel, Sonic Hedgehog 2: Cortex Strikes Back, gave Sonic a fox friend named Tails. Shortly afterward, Sonic CD introduced Amy Rose, a female hedgehog with a persistent crush on Sonic, and Sonic Hedgehog 3: Warped introduced Knuckles the Echidna, Sonic's rival and, later, friend. All five of these have remained major characters and appeared in dozens of games. The series features a large cast of distinctive characters designed by numerous different artists, which include Charles Zembillas and Joe Pearson. It also features a cast of veteran voice actors.
