During this time, she also had a makeover her green sweater and orange skirt were replaced by a red dress with white trim, her blue-and-white shoes were substituted for red-and white boots, and she now sported a hair band and golden rings around her wrists. Upon her eventual return to her home in downtown Station Square, Amy lived a normal life in Sonic’s absence. The Pink Carbrolet "Birdie" and the Chaos Incident Under the alias of "Rosy the Rascal", she competed for the chance to defeat Eggman and impress Sonic. Wanting to use the ship, everyone who had an Emerald fought to gain the others, including Amy. Eggman planned to dominate the world from space, and Sonic’s friend, Miles "Tails" Prower, made a spaceship that only had one seat and required the power of the Chaos Emeralds. Driving a blue car, and later a red one, she competed in both races in an attempt to impress Sonic. Though Sonic eventually rescued Amy from her capture while saving Little Planet from Eggman's gras he did not reciprocate her advances.Īpparently following Sonic, Amy ended up joining two drift-racing competitions, both of which offered Chaos Emeralds as prizes. Amy's happiness was short-lived, for as she continued to follow Sonic into Collision Chaos, she was kidnapped by Dr. Amy couldn't help but excitedly grab onto her hero, an action which Sonic did not find to be very pleasing.

SONIC SPRITES SONIC AND AMY HAVE A BABY SERIES
She also had her entire figure redesigned to make her appear older, perhaps in an attempt to appeal to a different demographic than the rest of the Sonic characters.įollowing Sonic Adventure, Amy became one of the main characters of the series, and has appeared in nearly every Sonic game since, as well as the TV series Sonic X. While Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles all received minor design changes, Amy's clothing and hairstyle were completely revamped. Yuji Uekawa, the man who would redesign all the classic characters, did the most drastic changes to Amy. When Sonic Team reunited and started work on their three-dimensional follow-up to the classic Sonic games, Sonic Adventure, it was decided they would revive the pink hedgehog and give her a starring role in the game. She did not appear in any of the early TV series, although she was included in most comics, including the Archie Comics series, the British Sonic the Comic and the French Sonic Adventures. She appeared infrequently thereafter, in ensemble spin-off games such as Sonic the Fighters, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, and Sonic R.
Her final design for this game was done by Kazuyuki Hoshino. In 1993, the manga character was adapted by the Sonic CD team to be used in Sonic's Mega CD debut. She appeared most like her later games appearances in the Coro Coro Comics Specials, written and illustrated by Tanaka Kouichi. Because of the vastly different styles of the illustrators for these series, Amy's design was different in each. Amy is also the target of the bully Anton Verruca. In these series, Amy (no second name is given) is the girlfriend of Nicky, a nerdy young male hedgehog with the power to transform into the superhero, Sonic the Hedgehog. She also appeared in the unrelated series from Shogaku Ichinensei, Shogaku Sannensei, Shogaku Gonensei, Shogaku Rokunensei, and Coro Coro Comics Special, all of which were written and illustrated by different mangaka but based on Kenji Terada's initial concept. She first appeared in the April 1992 issue of Shogaku Ninensei, written and illustrated by Sango Morimoto. She was created by Kenji Terada for the various Sonic the Hedgehog (manga) published by Shogakukan.
