He is a Maverick Hunter and former Maverick who works together with X to defeat various threats throughout the series, most of which relate to Sigma and the Maverick Virus. It was also revealed that he was originally created by Dr. Wily to kill Mega Man. After his initial adventures with X, he was frozen in a capsule and woke many years later, which started the ''Mega Man Zero'' series. | Zero is one of the supporting characters of the ''Mega Man X'' series, which was the second ''Mega Man'' series to be made, and he later starred in his own series, which was known as ''Mega Man Zero''.

+ | |||
+ | The following are characters from the SEGA's ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series who appear as playable characters, or as non-playable referees in the crossover game ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' as well as its follow-up-games: ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Winter Games]]'', ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''. Sonic is also featured as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', so most of the following characters also appear in these games as trophies, stickers, Assist Trophies, [[Spirit|Spirits]] and/or background cameos. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Sonic the Hedgehog== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Image:Sonic.jpg|right|150px]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''First Appearance:''' ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (1991) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sonic is the star of Sega's ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' action platforming series series. His main ability is his incredible running speed. He can run faster than Mach 1 and is able to use his speed to attack enemies. He has had many enemies over the years, but Dr. Eggman has been the main one. He spends most of his time traveling alone and lives by his own rules, as he sees saving the world as "a minor distraction". He actually is not interested in competitive racing unless it involves showing up Dr. Eggman (the most clear example of this being in the story of ''Sonic R'', where Sonic is uninterested in the grand prix until he learns of Eggman's involvement in it, at which point he eagerly signs up). | ||
+ | |||
+ | During the 1990's, Nintendo and Sega were the head rivals in the video gaming industry, so their mascots Mario and Sonic were often treated as enemies by fans themselves. A dig at Sonic in a Nintendo game of the time appears in [[Cranky Kong]]'s Video Game Heroes award ceremony at the end of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', when Sonic's shoes (along with Earthworm Jim's gun) are seen discarded by a trash can under a sign reading "No Hopers". However, things became friendlier after Sega dropped out of the console wars and became a third party developer for Nintendo. This eventually lead to Sonic and Mario appearing together in games, starting with ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In all games of the ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' subseries, Sonic appears as one of the playable competitors. He's a speed-type competitor. This marks the first time that Sonic and Mario truly appear together, and in a capacity in which they are both playable. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sonic has also become a regular character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series starting with his debut as an unlockable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He was unlocked by either playing 300 brawls, beating Classic Mode with ten different characters, playing more than ten hours of brawls or by completing The Subspace Emissary. Sonic has two trophies, one being his standard trophy while the other is of Super Sonic. There are also two three different Sonic stickers (the first two from the different versions of the original ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' with the third being from the 2006 ''Sonic the Hedgehog'') as well as one of Super Sonic from ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2''. In "The Subspace Emissary", Sonic appears just towards the very end to cut through [[Tabuu]]'s wing and prevent him from turning everyone into trophies again. He then joins in on the final battle. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sonic returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. In the former game, he was part of the game's initial roster and was the only third party character to carry over from ''Brawl'', although Snake would later return in ''Ultimate''. His appearance in the 3DS/Wii U installment is accompanied by two trophies in both games and a trophy of himself as Super Sonic in the Wii U game. In ''Ultimate'', he had to be unlocked either through the game's variable-based unlocking system or by unlocking him in Adventure Mode. Sonic had a Fighter Spirit that was unlocked with his completion of Classic Mode, and there were also Spirits for Super Sonic and Sonic the Werehog. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Within the Adventure Mode of ''Ultimate'', he made a prominent appearance during the opening cutscene. When [[Galeem]] unleashed his beams of light, Sonic was seen trying to outrun it, and he appeared to slow down in an attempt to save [[Pikachu]], only to be hit by one of the beams of light. Sonic could later be found and awakened within the Sacred Land area. In Classic Mode, Sonic's personal route was called "At the Speed of Sound", and the theme of his opponents was that they each represented different characters or general games from the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series. It ended with a standard boss fight against Master Hand and Crazy Hand. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sonic has also appeared in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' as a Mystery Mushroom costume (using his sprite from the original ''Sonic the Hedgehog'') that could be unlocked as a random prize for clearing the 100 Mario Challenge on Expert or higher, or by scanning a Sonic amiibo. In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', a Yoshi pattern based on Sonic's appearance could be unlocked by scanning his amiibo. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Amy Rose== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Image:AmyRose.jpg|right|100px]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''First Appearance:''' ''Sonic the Hedgehog CD'' (1993) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Amy Rose is a female hedgehog with a crush on Sonic. She first played the part of Sonic's damsel in distress, but as time has gone by she's become more independent. These days she can take care of herself and sometimes goes with Sonic on his adventures. Her weapon of choice is a large hammer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' as well as all three of the ''Winter Games'' follow-ups, Amy is one of the competitors. She is an all-around character. She also appears as a trophy and sticker in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', a trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'' and an Ace Support Spirit in ''Ultimate''. Her Spirit's Support effect is to raise the damage done to shields. When fought in a Spirit battle, Amy's Spirit would possess an [[Inkling]], starting the battle with a hammer and with the ability to wield a hammer for longer, as well as increased move speed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Blaze the Cat== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Image:Blaze.jpg|right|90px]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''First Appearance:''' ''Sonic Rush'' (2005) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Blaze is a princess who in her original appearance is said to be from an alternate dimension, but later games later show she is actually from the future where she works with Silver the Hedgehog. She protects the Sol Emeralds in a role similar to those of Sonic and Knuckles in protecting the Chaos Emeralds. She has the ability to control flames. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' and all three of the ''Winter Games'' follow-ups, Blaze is one of the competitors. She is an all-around character. She also appears as a trophy and sticker in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', a trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'' and an Advanced Support Spirit in ''Ultimate''. Her Spirit's Support effect is for the player's fighter to start a battle with the Superspicy Curry effect in play. When fighting in Spirit battles, Blaze's Spirit possesses [[Robin]] in an area with the floor as lava. She starts the match wielding a [[Fire Flower]], and her explosion and fire-related attacks are more powerful. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Chaotix== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Image:Charmy.gif|right|100px]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''First Appearance:''' ''Knuckles' Chaotix'' (1995) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Team Chaotix are a group of three who were originally featured in the game ''Knuckles' Chaotix'' where they worked with Knuckles, and they have occasionally formed supporting roles in games since then. They have usually been shown as a detective agency. Vector the Crocodile is their strong leader who can harness the power of music, while Espio the Chamelon is a more stoic member with the ability of camouflage, and Charmy the Bee is a small and optimistic member of the group. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Within the ''Mario & Sonic'' games, Vector has been featured as a playable competitos from the beginning, being classified as a power-type competitor. Espio and Charmy have mostly been regulated to appearing as referees and in other NPC roles, although Espio was playable in the Long Jump events of ''Rio 2016''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, each member of the Chaotix has appeared as a sticker in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and as a trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', there was a Novice-rank Primary Spirit for the entire Chaotix. When fought in a Spirit battle, Vector would possess K. Rool, Espio would possess Sonic, and Charmy would possess [[Pikachu]]. All three of them would periodically turn invisible, in emulation of Espio's camouflage ability. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Cream== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Image:Cream.gif|right|100px]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''First Appearance:''' ''Sonic Advance 2'' (2002) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cream first met Sonic after being rescued from Dr. Eggman and then fought alongside him to rescue her mother, Vanilla. Cream is almost never seen without her Chao, Cheese. Cheese attacks enemies to defend Cream. Cream is also able to fly, with her ears acting as helicopter blades. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In most of the ''Mario & Sonic'' games, she acts as a referee and in other non-playable modes. She has only been playable in the 3DS version of ''Rio 2016'' in the beach volleyball events. She also appears with Cheese in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as a trophy and sticker, in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'' as a trophy and in ''Ultimate'' as an Advanced Support Spirit. Their Spirit's effect is to increase the player fighter's jump height. When fought against in a Spirit battle, Cream would possess Isabelle, while Cheese possessed a Squirtle, in a battle with lowered gravity. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Dr. Eggman== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Image:Eggman.jpg|right|100px]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''First Appearance:''' ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (1991) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dr. Eggman (real name Ivo Robotnik) is Sonic's primary adversary who wishes to control the world. In order to carry out his plans, Dr. Eggman needs to get his hands on the Chaos Emeralds. He uses his army of robots to do this, but he always seems to fail. He has usually sought the Chaos Emeralds to power various weapons, although recently he has used them to awaken powerful living weapons such as Chaos and Shadow in hopes of manipulating them for his own ends; such plans have usually backfired in his face. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In all of the ''Mario & Sonic'' games, Eggman has been featured as one of the playable competitors. He is a skill-type competitor. Eggman also has a descendant known as Eggman Nega, who makes non-playable appearances throughout the series before being playable in the Long Jump events of the 3DS version of ''Rio 2016''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Eggman also appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as a trophy and a sticker, in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'' as a trophy and in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a Legend-Rank Primary Spirit who boosts the power of electric attacks. When fought in a Spirit battle, Eggman's Spirit would possess [[Morton Koopa Jr.]] and fight alongside a metallic Sonic in a battle with occasional bob-omb downpours. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Eggrobo== | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''First Appearance:''' ''Sonic & Knuckles'' (1994) | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Eggrobo (also spelled Egg Robo within ''Smash'') is a recurring enemy in the ''Sonic'' games. They are egg-shaped robots made to reflect Eggman's robots, which float in the air with jetpacks and are normally equipped with powerful blasters. These enemies primarily appeared in ''Sonic & Knuckles'', were a number are unleashed upon Sonic in the Death Egg, and one runaway Eggrobo replaces Eggman as the boss whom Knuckles faces in his version of the storyline. They've only also appeared in ''Sonic Generations'' as enemies, and otherwise, aside from inspiring the E-100 characters, the Eggrobos have mostly appeared in sports spin-offs and other minigames. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', the Eggrobos appear as an enemy that can be faced in the Smash Run mode. Their appearance is accompanied by a trophy. | ||

+ | |||
+ | '''First Appearance:''' ''Flicky'' (1984) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Flickies are small birds that live on Flicky Island in the Sonic series. They are often used by Dr. Eggman for "battery power" in his Badniks. Other small animals similar to Flickies are also used for this purpose. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'', Flickies make up part of the audience. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', they make an appearance in the Windy Hill Zone Stage along with the other animal friends from the early ''Sonic'' games: Pecky, Picky, Pocky, Cucky, Ricky and Rocky. That version also has an accompanying trophy for all of these animals, entitled the "Fauna of Windy Hill Zone". | ||

+ | |||
+ | Shadow is one of Sonic's enemies turned rival. He was created by Eggman's grandfather, Gerald Robotnik fifty years ago with genetic material provided by the Black Doom. After the death of Gerald's granddaughter Maria, whom Shadow had a close bond with, Shadow became dedicated to destroying the world to gain revenge until he experienced an epiphany in ''Sonic Adventure 2'' and helped Sonic to save Earth from the Biolizard. Shadow was supposedly killed afterwards, but Eggman was able to save him. After discovered his past, Shadow has become more of an ally to Sonic. Shadow has an ability called Chaos Control that lets him warp space and time in order to make him seem much faster then he is to the point where he appears to teleport around.

He is unlike the other two hedgehogs in that he is slow and has psychic powers instead of the superspeed of the other hedgehogs. In ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' he had lived in an apocalyptic future that had been ravaged by the Iblis Trigger, so he went back in time to destroy it.

When fought in a Spirit battle, Silver's Spirit would possess Sonic and start the battle equipped with the Black Hole item, which would also commonly appear during the battle. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Additionally, a playable model of Silver was found in the game data for ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'', showing that he was intended to appear as a playable character at one point.
