The Lancer: Tails, who frequently acts as Sonic's right-hand man.

The Leader: Sonic, though rarely is he actually a good leader.

The Team: It takes a while for it to be established, the main 'team' is formed in the Season 2 finale consisting of:.

Failure Is the Only Option: Whenever they become successful, expect them to eventually lose.

Opting instead to party at Dead or Alive and eventually opening up their own business there.

In season 7, Eggman and Jim ditch Sonic and Tails' quest to find the creator.

They come back together near the end of the season but it’s not until “Joust” where they finally act as a group again. Sonic is back to doing odd jobs due to being broke again, Tails is now rich and famous (and also the Arc Villain of the season), while Eggman and Jim are partying it up in Contra.

Breaking the Fellowship: The majority of Season 4 has Sonic, Tails, Eggman, and Jim split up.

Amusing Injuries/ Butt Monkeys: They all suffer through humiliating and painful situations.

Adaptational Jerkass: None of them have the heroic traits of their canon videogame counterparts.

Not Pictured: Knuckles, Gilius Thunderhead, Kirby, Mother Brain, Soniqua & Link. I'm sure that I read that Nigel Kitching was annoyed that the model sheet he had to abide by dictated that Sonic's irises/pupils had to stick to his brows, making him incapable of some expressions without looking angry or serious.From left to right: Eggman, Earthworm Jim, Tails, and Sonic. I just think that the way Sonic's eyes are shaped makes him look kinda angry even when he isn't. It looks more symbolic of a neutral expression rather than one of distaste to me at least.Īctually, come to think of it after looking at the Sonic 3 sprite more, I can't honestly tell if his expression is meant to be a tiny smirk or an oddly neutral-looking slight frown. However, Sonic 3 Sonic standing still has a noticeable frown. I personally don't see a difference concerning the 'serious look'.

The Sonic 2 standing still sprite looks hugely identical to the Sonic 1 standing still sprite only that his fur color is definately darker and has a shiny quality, has a less exaggerated toe on the shoe behind the one most visible and the side of the eye is curvier.
