Top Ten Sonic the Hedgehog Characters Who You Would Instantly Become Your Friend If You Met Them In Real Life

The Top Ten
1 Miles Tails Prower Miles Prower, more commonly known by his nickname Tails, is a fictional character in Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a significant main character after the title character Sonic, who is also his best friend.

Tails is by far the nicest character in Sonic. He is also the smartest, besides Robotnik. He doesn't have too big of an ego or temper issues. He doesn't go out of his way to show people how cool he is or something like that. He knows how to cheer people up and is the perfect friend. Everything is in the "just right" zone. Not to mention, he can fly, is a fox with two tails, is an 8 year old with an IQ of 300 (I'm pretty sure) he is cute, funny, and can build amazing things. None of the other characters in Sonic are this friendly and cool.

Oh yeah, I can happily admit to the fact that I love Tails as a character.
He is amazing with every version of him being likable except for Tails and Sonic Pals's version who barely gets along with his own friends since his unlikable jackass they everybody loves to hate, but to be honest, Tails isn't anything like that because Bulma Bunny/Tails and Sonic Pals is way too dumb to accept as being fanon due to being unlikable.
Tails is still best boy low, nothing can top him, not even Shadow and he's a fan favorite.

2 Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog, trademarked Sonic The Hedgehog, is the title character and protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by SEGA, as well as numerous spin-off comics, five animated shows, and an animated OVA.

I'd definitely be best buds with Sonic.
I'm athletic, outgoing, and independent. Like, I love being with my friends, but sometimes I need those moments to be alone, you know? Just like Sonic!
I'm the funny one in the group. Always the one to crack a dry joke. I solve the issues. It actually gets a little exhausting sometimes.
My flaws are his flaws. I'm WAY overly cocky sometimes, and can hurt my friends feelings without even realizing it. And when I get problems, I like to run as far away from them as I can.
I'm not huge on romance. I mean...I like it...but I think it's to early to obsess. We have to live our lives, right?
Sonic and I would get along AWESOME!

He would make an amazing friend and maybe even your best friend. He's funny, likes casual sports and running, is a little cocky but is a very kind and loving character. He's the kind of friend who cracks a purposely terrible joke to try to make you laugh, he's a very laid-back guy, and he's always one step ahead. He has great loyalty and friendship and would do literally anything to protect the ones he love. That's why Sonic is an amazing friend.

3 Shadow the Hedgehog Shadow the Hedgehog is a character who appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by Sega. He is an artificially created black and red hedgehog whose hover shoes propel him at extreme speeds that rival those of Sonic.

Seriously, being friends with Shadow would literally be impossible unless your Tails, Vanilla, Amy or even Cream for that matter because in the main canon Shadow was actually happy to see Tails whenever their paths would cross.
So yeah, in the main canon Tails and Shadow wouldn't be friends, but they'll be powerful allies and Tails would at least try to talk Sonic out of bugging him until he leaves the room and Sonic does something stupid.
...Shadow and I will not get along; I'll just annoy him to be honest and he'll tell me to shout up or he'll shout me up, not happening.
- Adam C. Evers

Shadow is the best Sonic character. We have a lot in common. We don't have much to look for in life other than our purpose, we both like the color black, we agree that guns are cool and we both have our fair share of enemies. All in all, the second most popular character in the whole canon would be cool to have as a friend. I may or may not have just made a Sonic Boom reference.

4 Silver the Hedgehog

Silver would be my bestie.
Number one, he is very lonely. At school, I would talk to the kids who were crying or lonely or new. Silver is also a little emotionally wounded. I would help him mend it.
He is also very innocent minded. I can picture the dirty minded kids at my shcool wanting to be besties with sonic or rouge.
Anyway Silver is the cutest and most lovable guy ever.

After learning more about him through Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (Tokyo 2020), I think that Silver would be a fantastic personality to have around. He is a very enjoyable character.

Silver is emotional, acts without thinking, is sweet, has a big heart, and is absolutely adorable! I'm all of these things, too. If I was best friends with him we'd hang out all the time.

5 Rouge the Bat

A bat that's sexy, stylish and simply fabulous she's my second favourite character (behind shadow of course) of these and her coolness. If you don't like her because you think she looks like a hooker, YOUR SHALLOW!

She's great. If I met Rouge, I would pair up with Cream and Vanilla so together the 3 can get away with all sorts of stuff and have loads of fun even if all others sonic characters are involve.

Only if she wants something from you otherwise no, it's completely impossible.

6 Vector the Crocodile Vector the Crocodile is a fictional anthropomorphic crocodile from the Sonic the Hedgehog series who debuted in Knuckles' Chaotix in 1995, and later returned in Sonic Heroes as head detective of the Chaotix Detective Agency. With a great love for music and money (the latter which he is always short on), Vector is a clever detective who will always help those in need for free. He was one of the first... read more

He is funny, clever but can act stupid and is cool not to mention is outgoing. What else do you want from a friend? Not to mention he likes to joke around and listen to music!

Vector has got swag, crocodile traits and a gold chain. Plus, he's a detective. I mean, what more do you need?

7 Amy Rose Amy Rose is a fictional character in SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is a pink anthropomorphic hedgehog with a cheerful, competitive personality, and is infatuated with the series' main character, Sonic. She serves as the first playable female character in the series.

No, no way - your crazy if you even try to be her friend, besides, she'll end up killing you with her hammer if she's angry enough and even then, your days are numbered if you come between her a Sonic.
Be friends with her if you wish, I'm going to go and ask Tails if he'd be my friend.
Heck, I still be friends with her and Sonic through Tails anyway... Tails is the key to this whole friendship thing, if you ask me.

I think that Amy is the ultimate personality to have around because she's got such a fun personality! My favourite female character ever most likely edging it over Toadette, I can never say 'no' to Amy in a list like this and her brilliant personality has even made me respect her as a character.

I'm most similar to Amy Rose and Sonic. While I like Sonic better, I am female (but I want a beard so I can be an epic gamer XD) and I adore pink. Amy and I are both passionate, kind, and very romantic. I'm not desperate or stalkerish like her, but irl I have a bad temper. In the internet I'm chill. I think she would be my bff.

8 Espio the Chameleon Espio The Chameleon is a Sonic character first appearing in the 1995 Sega 32X title, Knuckles' Chaotix alongside Charmy Bee and Vector the Crocodile. Espio's appearance in Knuckles' Chaotix depicts him as a character with a hot temper which causes Charmy to remind him about his manners. In Sonic Heroes, his personality takes a dramatic change becoming a ninja and being the cool, calm and collected... read more

He would be good a friend that could guide you in trouble as he is pretty clever because he knew in Sonic Heroes that the person who said that they would give Chaotix a large amount money was untrustworthy, and that person was Eggman.
So if he was my friend I would listen to him because he knows what he's doing.

He can deal with Charmy and Vector (Which are slightly annoying) he can deal with anyone.
He is awesome and a great chariter.
He is kind and skilled.
I wish he was used more because it would be interesting to play as him with his unlick skills and in the comics it was pretty cool to see more of his backstory.

Fave character of all time. Awesome and inspired me to like sonic the hedgehog. He is on my Fave game Sonic Heroes for the ps2 too! Hope he always comes 1st!

9 Knuckles the Echidna Knuckles the Echidna is a fictional character in Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is a red anthropomorphic echidna who is determined and serious, but sometimes gullible. He has the ability to glide and climb up walls, and is a powerful fighter due to his spiked hands.

Knuckles is tied for my fave video game character with tails. Why everybody hates him I have no clue. I'm actually thinking about writing a fan fict on him cause he would make a good main characther. He's tough but gentle at the same time I seriously would hug him. He's loyal for the most part and wants to see good and truth in everybody, and he's a good judge of charather. he's even cool when he acts stupid. Even after he gets jumped on by sonic, he doesn't yell after him, just a growl and a cool thumbs down B). he's a treasure hunter, and can intertrate several ancient languages. Sure he's a bit of a hothead but who cares? And his revenge in sonic x on team chaotix? PRICELE$$! And he's a loyal guardian, though the reason the m.e. keeps getting stollen is because he has no help and four times isn't that bad tor a guy who has no help. Plus Rouge is a huge hinderance to his job. When ever I see knux and sonic fight and name call and do dumb things I can't help but grin. so why Do people hate him? Either way, Please haters, STOP HATEING.

10 Big the Cat

Big would have to be the most likely Sonic character to get along with hands down and unless you said something mean about Froggy, he'll obviously treat you with more than enough respect.
Just don't do anything stupid and you should be fine.

This guys is about as chill as cats get, he isn't as bad as people say and would be easy to befriend, especially if you find his froggy.

Out of all of these characters, I reckon that Big would be the easiest to befriend as he is soft.

The Contenders
11 Metal Sonic Metal Sonic is one of Eggman’s fastest and most powerful creations. Programed to be better than Sonic in any aspect possible, he can shoot electro balls, shoot electricity downward, do a boost, and make himself invincible. He fight’s Sonic each time he gets stronger, and when he gains enough power, he becomes the Metal Overlord. But he becomes an advanced phase of himself before becoming the Metal... read more

How is he here!? He would rather kill you than be you friend!

I don't know what you guys are talking about metal sonic is a friend

12 Cream the Rabbit

Unless you're a boss in the Sonic Advance series, Cream is hands down the easiest to get along with in the Sonic series. Becoming Blaze's best friend is not as easy as one would think, yet Cream pulled it off without much of an issue. Cream also dislikes any form of violence, and is nice to just about anyone around her; she's even shown to be a strong leader in a few games. It helps that she is a rabbit after all, which is considered a creature of peace. That is, unless the rabbits are characters in a Richard Adams novel. And I'm not kidding about her presence in Sonic Advance, she takes out bosses with ease in that game.

I would pair Cream up with Tails so they both can get along with each other so very well and talk to each other a lot more often. When it happen, they both will interact with each other so well while they can do all sorts of great things together and more. Cream will be a much great help to Tails in every way she will become his best girlfriend and his greatest top tier number 1 apprentice absolutely in every category. She's also the top tier leader of her heroic fighter squad (a group of little girls just like her) and she's also making even better impression for all her friends and her mother, Vanilla. even Tails the greatest top tier master genius is really impressed by her leadership skills and her team's performance. Tails also has a team of his own (a group of smart little boys just like him) and he's also the top tier leader of his own heroic squad. He also making even better impression for all his friends too. Reason for Cream to be Tails greatest top tier number 1 apprentice is so she can learn all sorts of cool stuff from him. And reason for Cream to be Tails best girlfriend is because she's kind, sweet, helpful, caring, brave, smart, sensible, and heroic like Tails himself. Tails and Cream are absolutely the perfect match for each other in every conceivable way and in every category. Cream, you deserve to be Tails no matter what! TAILS AND CREAM FOREVER!

13 Jet the Hawk Jet the Hawk is a character from SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog series. Jet is very arrogant, prideful, and always seeks riches and fortunes. While also the Babylon Rogues' leader, Jet rarely takes his responsibilities seriously, though he knows how to assert his authority.

Its kinda sad that kinda like him too but I think we would become friends because I'm just as rude as him.

14 Blaze the Cat

Blaze and I would get along great! Blaze is confident and strong. I am, too. She is figure to everyone that girls can fight, too!

Fave sonic character-

BLAZE THE CAT! Seriously,she's one of my most favorite Sonic characters,THE best if you will. I will be GLAD to be her friend! (oh god...am I a psycho fan? )

15 Tikal the Echidna

She's peaceful and calm. She's one of best so I would also invite her to the city nightclub and others including Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Rouge, Shadow, Silver, Blaze, Shade, Marine, Vanilla, The Chaotix, and more sonic characters on the invited list so they can have fun.

16 Vanilla the Rabbit

You wouldn't wish someone dead. I would never forget to invite all the other sonic characters to the city nightclub plus, I did put them on the invited sonic characters list. for example: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Rouge, Silver, Blaze, Shadow, Tikal, Shade, Espio, Charmy, Marine, Vector, Vanilla, and all other sonic characters that are on the invite list to the nightclub. My reason. so they all can do what they want and have fun. My reason for also inviting Vanilla to the nightclub. She has been missing out all the fun and she needs to get out more.

Vanilla is also invited to participate in a street race along with other sonic characters for example: Sonic, Amy, Tails, Cream, Knuckles, Rouge, Shadow, Tikal, Espio, Shade, Charmy, Marine, Vector, and so many more sonic characters. That street race is gonna be in a city and it starts at night time. There are plenty of fast cars to choose from and all kinds of upgrades are available.

17 Sticks the Badger

Her boomerang is awesome. Except I'd get tired of hearing about evil ladybug overlords.

She would be my sisters best friend in my opinion.

18 Storm the Albatross

I'd probably be Storm in the Sonic world because, I'm very easy going, I'm tall (5'5) AND a super nice guy. VOTE 4ME!

19 Sally Acorn

Sally is awesome!

We are awesome

20 Cosmo

Why do I get the feeling that Cosmo and Zooey are the same character?
No seriously, just compare both names together and then try and convince me that I'm wrong because I'm not.
Those two are literally the same character.
However, getting along with Cosmo would be as easy as pie as long as you know what you're doing.
- Adam C. Evers

What's wrong with Taismo?
Their love was pretty strong and she just so happens to be the only girl who looks up to him while Cream doesn't show a single sign of liking him even if he does.
Taismo for the win, Taismo forever...

We are friendly

21 Ivo Robotnik (Dr. Eggman)

Smart like me

22 Marine the Raccoon

Charmy and marine should get along so well it's like they get to know each other.

23 Dark Sonic Dark Sonic is a dark super transformation achieved by Sonic the Hedgehog in the anime series Sonic X. The multitude of fake Chaos Emeralds and Sonic's intense anger allowed him to achieve this transformation.
24 Super Tails

He's super saian

25 Custom Hero (Sonic Forces)
