Amigo

Amigo is an orange monkey that always likes to play with his maracas. He is the star of Sonic Team's game Samba De Amigo and is a regular in the SEGA mascot lineup.

Amigo is a monkey boy who dreams of being a great maraca player. He is hyperactive, and can get so caught up in the Latin rhythm that he cannot stop shaking his maracas. His favourite food is baked bananas, specialty of his hometown. He is very talented in music and is a team player, but not the brightest bulb on the tree. Amigo has a very clear friendship with Sonic the Hedgehog though the origins of their relationship is unknown. He also has a sister known as Amiga.

Samba de Amigo
Amigo made his debut in Samba De Amigo on the Arcade and the Dreamcast with a line up of great music to shake his maracas to. A number of downloadable songs from the Sonic the Hedgehog series were included in the Dreamcast version.

Original Version contains Samba de Amigo Ver.2000, a slight upgrade, also includes:
 * Open Your Heart (Sonic Adventure)
 * Super Sonic Racing (Sonic R)
 * Sonic - You Can Do Anything (Sonic CD)
 * It Doesn't Matter (Sonic Adventure)

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
After beating every mission in Sonic Riders Zero Gravity the player unlocks Amigo as a new playable character, along with NiGHTS and Billy Hatcher. Amigo does not speak, his only communication is through the shaking of his maracas. His right maraca has a gravity band on it which allows him to use the gravity control powers.


 * Type: Speed
 * Gear: Rhythm Machine
 * Attack: Amigo starts running and shaking his maracas quickly, attacking his foes with them and stunning them temporarily.

SEGA Superstars Tennis
In the intro video of SEGA Superstars Tennis, Amigo being the ultimate team player, dives off a cliff to hit the tennis ball. He is quickly rescued by a blue streak which we later learn was Sonic the Hedgehog. Besides being a little embarrassed, Amigo was just fine.

Superstar Special: Bamboleo de Maracas – Amigo becomes insanely happy in this state – so happy in fact, that he has to party! Not only does the ball shoot off in a strange direction to throw the opponent off, but the court also becomes filled with lots of shaking maracas, obstructing a return ball.

Home Court: Carnival Park

Samba De Amigo Wii

Mario And Sonic At The Olympic Winter Games
In this Mario and Sonic cross-over, there is a stylish reference to Amigo. In the boutique, players may purchase Amigo's hat which is labeled as "Samba Hat". The hat can be placed on a Mii and who can then be used in any event. There is also a suit called "Samba Suit" but it is a traditional salsa suit and does not directly relate to Amigo.
