Amy Rose - the young hedgehog with a hopeless crush on Sonic! Sonic could do without her, but once she's got a hug in edgewise, there's no shaking her off!

One of Sonic's biggest fans, Amy tagged along with him to Never Lake when Eggman tried to take control of the Little Planet in Sonic CD. She was kidnapped by Metal Sonic to be the prize in its famous race with Sonic.

After Sonic rescued her, Amy met him a few times in competitions, but mostly shopped around Station Square, where she has an apartment. She didn't do much adventuring, until one day a bird flew into her groceries while she was daydreaming about her adventures with Sonic on the Little Planet. The bird was flying away from Zero, one of Eggman's new E-100 series robots. She helped the bird to hide, and protected it from Zero until meeting Sonic. After getting kidnapped once again, she was rescued on the Egg Carrier not by Sonic, but by a mysterious and unlikely ally. As she continued fighting Zero, she eventually became more independent and decided to win Sonic's respect rather than chasing after him all the time.

Little Amy is more than just an annoyance. She's mastered the Lovely Kiss Attack, a charm move that confuses its receiver into a mindless daze. She has few redeeming hand-to-hand combat qualities, but her Magical Hammer can easily pound a few braincells out of any opponents with just a light swing. It's this colorful, oversized mallet that she used to hold her own in the Sonic Championship fighting tournament. Her "Pico Pico Hammer Attack" also keeps her path clear in Sonic Adventure. Amy also has two small cars that she uses for travel. The Breeze is a small blue car that almost seems to have a mind and face of its own. She's also got a red convertible, which she used in the World Grand Prix. It's lifeless and a little on the slow side, but it comes equipped with an automatic hover engine and a Turbo Boost!

Then, according to legend, a god of the skies came from the heavens, brought back to life part of this civilization, and placed the Master Emerald, along with the land around it, into the sky, forming what we now know as Angel Island. And by no means was this a small amount of land. With over 12 zones, Angel Island is HUGE. It houses all of the traditional animals (minus Picky), as well as a wide variety of interesting areas to explore, none of which are known better than Knuckles the Echidna, the last known remnant of the ancient race, and self-proclaimed guardian of the island, and the Master Emerald.

Though the Master Emerald keeps the island afloat, it has been forced into the ocean before when it served as the crash site for Eggman's Death Egg. The Master Emerald also cannot seem to keep the island up when it is in contact with the 7 Chaos Emeralds...

The worlds first Benoulli spherical space-colony Ark was built many years ago, housing some of the worlds finest minds who travelled into space to the most advanced research centre of its kind. One of these was Professor Gerald and his granddaughter, Maria. He made contact with the Black Comet and with Black Dooms help created the Ultimate Life Form; Shadow. However, not trusting Black Doom he also began construction of a powerful weapon; the Eclipse Cannon.

Unfortunately due to the Professors work G.U.N. stormed the space colony, killing whoever they couldn’t capture. Maria was among the lists of the dead, a fact that drove Professor Gerald mad, programming the Space Colony to crash into earth. He left the Biolizard, the prototype ultimate life form to make sure this happened and programmed Shadow to take the Chaos Emeralds there.

Shadow realised that his mind had been tampered with and with Sonic stopped it from crashing into the planet. The ARK was saved and when the Black Arms invaded Shadow returned to it to take control of the Eclipse Cannon. With it he opened fire on the Black Comet and destroyed them forever.
