~Amy’s appearance to the Sonic the Hedgehog series~
Amy Rose wasn’t really created by the Sonic Team, she was first created as a prototype for the Sonic the Hedgehog manga. Then Sega & Sonic Team took that character, redesigned her and put her in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Her first official appearance was a video game called Sonic CD created in 1993 for Sega CD.
In Sonic CD, Metal Sonic kidnaps Amy and Sonic had to save her. Amy fell in love with Sonic ever since and always tried to win Sonic’s heart.
In 1998, Amy was forced to one of the main characters of all Sonic the Hedgehog games and more. Her popularity grew in Sonic Adventure, Dreamcast. Amy also had a new look. Ever since 1998, with the exception of Sonic Rivals 2 for PSP, she has appeared in all the games current.
~Piko-Piko Hammer~

Her Piko-Piko hammer is Amy’s most common attack she uses in all games since Sonic Adventure. Her Piko-Piko Hammer however was introduced in “Sonic the Fighters” (1996). The hammer has been Amy’s favorite. She uses it to defend herself and others and threat enemies or anything that annoys her.
~ Cream the Rabbit ~

Amy and Cream are best friends. Since Sonic Heroes (2004), they both became best of friends and also in the same team “Team Rose”. It looked like to they had a sister-to-sister relationship. Also it’s not just that, in Sonic Advance 3 (2004) when Cream and Amy join up, they are known as ‘Team Jubilee’ which serves as a counterpart to Sonic and Tails’ Unbreakable Bond. In Sonic X (2003-2005), Cream and Amy always hang out. In Sonic Battle (2004), they also hanged out with each other and in Shadow the Hedgehog (2005), in the ‘Cryphic Castle’ level, Amy asks Shadow to find Cream, which shows she so much cares for her.
~ Amy’s Rivals and Enemies ~

Amy’s main rival (also other characters) is Doctor Eggman. Eggman introduced Amy in Sonic CD for her kidnap. In most games and most of the time in Sonic X, it’s always Doctor Eggman. Metal Sonic was also Amy’s enemy since he was the one who aided Eggman in her kidnap. In Sonic Heroes, he was also too the main enemy for all characters including Amy.

In Sonic Adventure (1999), one of Eggman’s robots, Zero has kidnapped Amy, and chased her around in most of her levels giving her a hard time to escape. But in the end, she managed to destroy Zero.
~ Amy’s theme songs ~

  • Sonic Adventure - “My Sweet Passion”. It is sung by Nikki Gregoroff.
  • Sonic Adventure 2 - A shorter version of “My Sweet Passion”.
  • Sonic Heroes - “Follow Me”. Although technically a theme for Team Rose, it focuses entirely on Amy. In one point of the song there is a remix to a part of My Sweet Passion. It is sung by Kay Hanley.
