Top 10 Sonic the Hedgehog Characters that Most Need Their Own Game

There's no shortage of interesting personalities in the Sonic universe, and you probably already have a favorite who's overdue for their time to shine. Imagine a full-on Eggman game where you play as the bad guy, or a stylish, combat-heavy title starring Blaze. The possibilities are wide open.

This list is your chance to vote for which Sonic the Hedgehog characters should finally get their own standalone game. It doesn't matter if they're long-time allies, underrated side characters, or villains with a flair for the dramatic.

Vote for the characters you think deserve more than just a supporting role. You've seen how others voted. Now it's your turn to shake things up.

The Top Ten

Silver the Hedgehog

Silver definitely deserves a spinoff of some kind, even if it's just a spinoff comic or manga. I'm definitely curious about his story - like, who are his parents and ancestors?
How did he acquire his powers? Were they given to him, or was he born with them? Also, was he self-taught, or did someone teach him how to use his powers?
Are there any other survivors in the future aside from him?

Silver should have his own game. It should be about Silver trying to restore the present, past, and future but can't because a vicious, corrupt, and evil beetle named Devious has caused destruction across all three timelines. Please, Sega, make a Silver the Hedgehog game!
Miles "Tails" Prower

Miles "Tails" Prower is a fictional character in Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is Sonic's best friend and sidekick. Tails is known for his ability to fly using his two tails like a helicopter rotor.

Tails, like Knuckles, is underrated and deserves more recognition. He's also very inspiring - I've always been a fan of the underdog.
I wouldn't mind him having a spinoff series aside from what we already have, of course. A Tails spinoff comic or manga series sounds interesting. I love seeing his solo adventures, which is why I loved playing as him in the Advance and Adventure series.

Tails was one of the original characters, along with Doctor Robotnik. They should both have their own game. Plus, who wouldn't want to play as cute Tails? Tails' story would be far more emotional than Sonic's bland tale of saving the world.
Avatar (Sonic Forces)

They honestly need a continuation of their story after Sonic Forces. I wouldn't mind them having a spinoff comic series in the IDW Sonic comics, kind of like how the Archie series had the Sonic Universe spinoff series.
Or it could be similar to how Shadow is getting a spinoff manga series.
Blaze the Cat

Ok, let's be honest, who wouldn't love a Blaze spinoff - even if it's just a comic or manga? A Blaze spinoff, much like an Amy spinoff, has a lot of potential and premise to it.
Plus, it would be interesting to see and explore the Sol Dimension again with a more in-depth analysis of it and her character!

Blaze having her own games would be brilliant!

I think Blaze should get a spin-off herself.
Amy Rose

Ok, let's be honest, an Amy spinoff would be so cool. It has a lot of potential. Much like Tails, playing as her on solo adventures is quite interesting and fun.
This is why I loved playing as her in Sonic Adventure and the Advance games. Plus, a spinoff could add more depth to her character!

Amy has a lot of material to have her own game. Imagine a cute pink hedgehog using her hammer and mystical abilities to smash everything.
Infinite the Jackal
Rouge the Bat

A Rouge spinoff would be interesting as well. I can't be the only one curious about her backstory - like, why is she a jewel thief? Is it just because she wanted to be, or is there an unexpected, potentially depressing reason?
Who is her family? Are they still around? Are they ok with her being a jewel thief? Do they know she's a jewel thief? Are they jewel thieves themselves? The list of questions goes on and on, to be honest.

A game about Rouge could easily feature her going on missions to steal objects for G.U.N. and dodging lasers and enemies like in Sonic Adventure 2 but with a better radar. You could even get a mission log to keep track of multiple missions at once.
Espio the Chameleon

Espio the Chameleon is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise who first appeared in the 1995 Sega 32X game Knuckles' Chaotix. He debuted alongside Charmy Bee and Vector the Crocodile as part of the Chaotix team. Initially portrayed with a short temper, Espio's personality evolved significantly... read more
Shadow the Hedgehog

Ahem... Where is that bleeping fourth Chaos Emerald? Remember? He deserves a better game. Sonic Adventure 2, my personal favorite modern Sonic game, also introduced Rouge.

I think Shadow should have another game, but with fewer guns and less swearing. Keep the Omochao Gun, please.

Honey gets my vote for sure, but Shadow might be good enough to get another game made in his name.
Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik

A spinoff series about Dr. Eggman would be really interesting. It could add more depth to his character - like, what was he like before becoming Dr. Eggman, and why did he become so evil?
An Eggman spinoff could also reintroduce other characters, like the Eggbosses from the Archie comics, such as Clove the Pronghorn. Speaking of Clove, she deserves a spinoff series as well. We definitely need a continuation of her story and that of her younger sister, Cassia.

Eggman having his own game would be super legit. He needs his generals and more allies, even if Scourge and his allies are involved. Dr. Eggman and Scourge the Hedgehog should join forces. Together, they can come up with all sorts of evil villain schemes and plans to take over the Sonic world while other Sonic villains do all their dirty work and look for recruits to join them in their world conquest.

Chaos (Sonic Adventure)

The Contenders

Cream the Rabbit

Even if Cream is young, she truly deserves her own games, even if other Sonic characters are involved. Cream deserves to be a superhero and save the day. Please make this happen, SEGA. We're really counting on you.

Cream having her own games would be fantastic and brilliant in every category. Please don't mess this up, SEGA. Her fans are truly counting on you.

She really needs her own game. Even if it takes 7 or 12 games, she truly deserves her own spotlight because she's one of the best Sonic characters ever!
Gemerl the Gizoid
Jet the Hawk

Jet the Hawk is a character from SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is the leader of the Babylon Rogues and is known for his arrogance, pride, and obsession with wealth and treasure. Although Jet rarely takes his leadership duties seriously, he knows how to assert his authority when necessary.
Knuckles the Echidna

Knuckles the Echidna is a fictional character from Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. He is portrayed as a red, anthropomorphic echidna who is serious, determined, and loyal, though sometimes gullible.
Knuckles possesses the ability to glide through the air, climb vertical surfaces,... read more

Knuckles is honestly underrated. He deserves more recognition. A spinoff could add more depth to his character.
I wouldn't mind him having a spinoff comic or manga series.

Knuckles is what the Knuckles fans want.
Whisper the Wolf

I wouldn't mind seeing more of her backstory in a fully fleshed-out spinoff aside from what we've already gotten, of course. I'm talking about what her life was like before becoming a Diamond Cutter.
Tangle the Lemur
Honey the Cat
Marine the Raccoon
Cosmo the Seedrian
E-123 Omega

Maybe all the Sonic heroes could be captured except for him.
Charmy Bee
Ray the Flying Squirrel

He's adorable and so underrated. Of course he needs his own game!
Mighty the Armadillo
Metal Sonic

Metal Sonic is one of Dr. Eggman's most advanced robotic creations, engineered to surpass Sonic the Hedgehog in every possible way. He possesses an array of powers including the ability to fire electro-balls, emit electricity, perform a speed boost, and become temporarily invincible. Over time, he evolves... read more

Vector the Crocodile is a fictional character from the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. He made his first appearance in the 1995 game Knuckles' Chaotix and returned in Sonic Heroes as the head of the Chaotix Detective Agency.... read more
