"My name is Amy Rose. I'm cute and full of energy!"

- Amy Rose, Sonic Adventure 2

Amy Rose (エミー・ローズ), also formerly known as Rosy the Rascal (ロージー・ザ・ラスカル), is a fictional character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an anthropomorphic twelve-year-old pink hedgehog who first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog CD. She has a major long-standing crush on Sonic the Hedgehog and has since meeting him become his self-proclaimed girlfriend and has attempted to win his heart by any means. She wields the Piko Piko Hammer, a colorful but extremely powerful melee weapon that she uses with proficiency second to none and never leaves home without.

Amy is a cheerful girl with strong intuitions though she is slightly erratic. Always with a positive attitude, she is full of energy and passion. However, her infatuation with Sonic makes her shortsighted and a bit obsessive about chasing Sonic as she follows him everwhere, and she has a terrifying temper. Nevertheless, she has a pure heart and will not let anything get in her way.

Amy is the first and most recurring female character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series and is also one of the most popular characters, coming in fifth place on an official popularity poll, being the most popular female character.

Concept and Creation
Amy Rose is one of the few main characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series to have her first appearance outside the Sega games. She was created by Kenji Terada for the various Sonic the Hedgehog manga published by Shogakukan, where she was known as "Eimi" (エイミー). She first appeared in the April 1992 issue of Shogaku Ninensei, written and illustrated by Sango Morimoto. 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. In these series, Eimi (no second name is given) is the girlfriend of Nikki, a nerdy young male hedgehog with the power to transform into the superhero, Sonic the Hedgehog. Eimi is also the target of the bully Anton Beruka. Because of the vastly different styles of the illustrators for these series, Eimi's design was different in each. She appeared most like her counterpart's later games appearances in the Coro Coro Comics Specials, written and illustrated by Tanaka Kouichi.

In 1993, the manga character was adapted by the Sonic CD team to be used in Sonic's Mega CD debut. Her final design for this game was done by Kazuyuki Hoshino. She appeared infrequently thereafter, in ensemble spin-off games such as Sonic the Fighters, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, and Sonic R. 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.

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. Yuji Uekawa, the man who would redesign all the classic characters, did the most drastic changes to Amy. While Sonic, Tails and Knuckles all received minor design changes, Amy's clothing and hairstyle were completely revamped. 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.

Following 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 and the upcoming Sonic Boom.

Early Life
Not much is known about Amy's early life except that she had always loved fortunes and other mystical things, and that she practiced some of it using her own tarot cards. At some point, she learned about Sonic the Hedgehog, who became her biggest idol and the one she wanted to marry.

Sonic the Hedgehog CD
Prior to the events of Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Amy predicted from her tarot cards that she would have a "destined" encounter with Sonic on the small satellite known as Little Planet. Excited, Amy traveled to Never Lake where Little Planet would appear for one month every year and got to the small satellite. While in Palmtree Panic, Amy finally found Sonic where she was overtaken by love and excitedly grabbed onto him though Sonic did not reciprocate her advances. Still smitten with Sonic, Amy followed him to Collision Chaos when she was kidnapped by Metal Sonic, Dr. Ivo Robotnik's latest creation and taken into Robotnik's captivity.

Sometime later, Amy was brought to Stardust Speedway where she was tied to a mast. Fortunately, she was freed by Sonic after he defeated Metal Sonic and Amy thanked her rescuer by lovingly hugging him. Later, after Sonic defeated Robotnik and the doctor's base began to fall apart around them, Amy was carried through the crumbling structures by Sonic and was safely brought back to earth. When Amy dared to look, she could only watch as Sonic ran away and freed Little Planet from its captivity.

Sonic the Fighters
In Sonic the Fighters, Dr. Robotnik constructed the Death Egg II to help conquer earth with his robots. Standing up to defeat Robotnik (and impress Sonic), Amy entered a fighting tournament where the winner would get the Chaos Emeralds belonging to the other participants, with herself already having one. If she won all the Chaos Emeralds, Amy would be allowed to use them to power Tails's single-seat Lunar Fox and use it to travel to the Death Egg II and destroy it.

At the end of the tournament, the victor got all the Chaos Emeralds and used them to go to the Death Egg II in the Luna Fox. There, the victor beat both Metal Sonic and Robotnik using the Emeralds and rigged the Death Egg II to self-destruct before heading back to earth in the Luna Fox moments before the massive space station exploded.

Sonic R
In Sonic R, Amy watched some global advertisement for the World Grand Prix, a racing competition to determine the fastest in the world which about to take place. Learning that Sonic would participate, Amy signed up for the World Grand Prix as well in hopes of winning over Sonic's heart.

At the World Grand Prix, Amy ended up facing not only Sonic, but also Tails, Knuckles and Dr. Robotnik and his lackeys, who were using Amy and her friends to find the Chaos Emeralds which were spread across the race tracks. In the end, Amy and the others kept Robotnik from the Chaos Emeralds, thus avoiding another world crisis.

Sonic Adventure
In Sonic Adventure, Amy had returned to her home in downtown Station Square where she lived normal, albeit boring life while Sonic was gone on a journey. One day while out shopping, Amy was reminiscing about her old times with Sonic when she to her shock saw the Egg Carrier flew over the city, only for then to be knocked over by a small blue Flicky with a pendant which she named "birdie." Soon after, ZERO appeared and chased after Amy and birdie, but the two of them escaped the robot by hiding in a burger shop. Realizing that Dr. Eggman was after birdie, Amy promised to protect it all the way.

Soon after, Amy found Sonic outside Casinopolis where she asked him to be birdie's bodyguard. While Sonic refused her request, Amy tagged along with him anyway. Shortly after, ZERO showed up again but Amy, birdie and Sonic fled into Twinkle Park as Amy was drawn by the offer that "cute couples" got in free. When Amy and birdie thought they had lost ZERO after leaving Twinkle Park (while having lost Sonic in the process), however, the robot caught them and took them to the Mystic Ruins, where Dr. Eggman picked them up in the Egg Carrier and locked Amy and birdie in a cell. As she comforted birdie, Gamma came to collect birdie, but Amy refused to hand it over and instead pleaded it to release them. When Gamma could not understand Amy's devotion to birdie, Amy pitied Gamma's lack of emotions, but in a surprisingly turn of events, Gamma freed them from their cell. Seeing that it was a good robot, Amy gave Gamma her friendship and fled with birdie.

While escaping, Amy and birdie were taken into the past by a mysterious light where they saw Tikal meeting the Chao and Chaos at the Altar of the Emeralds for the first time. Returning to the present, Amy and Birdie escaped to the Egg Carrier's flight deck only to meet Dr. Eggman, but then Sonic and Tails came to her rescue. Initially delighted see her friends, Amy had birdie grabbed from her by Dr. Eggman who took a Chaos Emerald from its pendant. Gamma was then send to eliminate the intruders, but Amy stopped Sonic before he could destroy Gamma and convinced him it was good. As the Egg Carrier began to lose altitude, Sonic told Tails to fly Amy away. Before leaving though, Amy advised Gamma not to follow Dr. Eggman anymore and said her goodbyes as she was carried off the Egg Carrier by Tails.

Arriving in Station Square, Amy discovered from birdie's pendant that it had a family and decided to help find its family which was in Dr. Eggman's captivity. When they could not find anything in the Final Egg, Amy went to search the remains of the Egg Carrier. There, Amy found birdie's family when ZERO suddenly arrived and hurt birdie. Enraged, Amy finally destroyed ZERO and tended to birdie who recovered and happily flew off with its family. As Amy left the Egg Carrier, she resolved to try harder and make Sonic respect her.

Later, Amy returned to Station Square, which had been destroyed and flooded by Perfect Chaos, a powerful creature Dr. Eggman had tried to control but failed. After Perfect Chaos released the seven drain Chaos Emeralds, Amy found one and brought it to Sonic, while her other friends brought the other six Emeralds. Through their caring for each other, Amy watched Sonic use the Emeralds' positive Chaos Energy to transform into Super Sonic and defeat Perfect Chaos while neutralizing its evil.

Sonic Shuffle
In Sonic Shuffle, Amy, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Eggman were all summoned to Maginaryworld by Lumina Flowlight, who needed them to help repair the Precioustone. Each character had his or her own role to play, and with each other’s help, the Precioustone was repaired, Maginaryworld was saved, and the heroes were returned to Earth.

Sonic Adventure 2
Amy was an important supporting character in Sonic Adventure 2. Although not playable in the main story, she was playable in two-player mode. When Sonic was trapped on Prison Island, Amy somehow managed to arrive on Prison Island and accidentally stumbled upon Eggman, Shadow, and Rouge's plan to steal the Chaos Emeralds (also mistaking the black Hedgehog for Sonic in the process). She ended up cornered by Eggman as a consequence, but was saved at the last minute by Tails. With Tails' help, Amy managed to free Sonic&mdash;this is one of several times that Amy has saved Sonic, instead of the other way around. When she learned from Sonic that the reason why he was on Prison Island was because of the actions of a "fake hedgehog", she realized that he was referring to Shadow, and informed him of Shadow's allegiance to Eggman. She also briefly saw some writing on the wall of Sonic's cell and wondered whether Sonic wrote it, actually equations made by the former occupant of the cell, Professor Gerald Robotnik, to cause a catastrophic crash via the Space Colony ARK to destroy the planet as revenge for the death of Maria Robotnik, his granddaughter.

Because of the events of Sonic's escape, as well as her involvement in it, Amy was also targeted by G.U.N. to be arrested, even after Eggman's doomsday threat. She eventually was captured by Dr. Eggman on board the ARK. Eggman deduced that Sonic and Tails were carrying both a real and a fake emerald, and demanded the locations of the two while holding her at gunpoint. After luring them to the pinnacle area of the ARK and presumably killing Sonic via a rigged escape capsule, Amy broke down in tears, but was later relieved when learning that Sonic actually survived. She also managed to convince Shadow that humanity was worth saving, by inadvertently causing Shadow to remember that Maria's true wish was for him to bring hope to humanity, not to seek revenge on them for her. Amy begged Shadow to help everyone, and he in turn ended up saving the world from the Biolizard, and later the Finalhazard.

Sonic Advance
In Sonic Advance, Amy joined forces with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles to stop Dr. Eggman from obtaining the seven Chaos Emeralds. Over the course of their adventure, Amy and her friends recovered the Chaos Emeralds before Eggman, who they chased to the X-Zone. After they defeated the EGG X, Amy, Tails and Knuckles returned to Earth while Super Sonic faced Eggman in a final confrontation on the moon. There, they awaited Sonic's return, but grew confused when he did not show up. A few days later though, Sonic finally returned.

Sonic Advance 3
In Sonic Advance 3, where the Earth was split into seven regions by a massive Chaos Control induced by Dr. Eggman, Amy met Sonic and his friends in Toy Kingdom. Upon meeting Sonic, Amy thought he was going to ask her out and even pulled her Piko Piko Hammer to try and persuade him to admit her feeling for her. Amy then joined Sonic and his friends in their mission to restore the world and stop Eggman.

Traveling across the different regions, Amy and her friends eventual recovered the seven Chaos Emeralds and had Cream join them. Along the way, Amy also faced Dr. Eggman's newest creation, Gemerl, a rebuilt version of Emerl. Eventually, Amy and the others made it to the Emerald Altar where they beat the Hyper EggRobo and used the Master Emerald to return the world to normal. Later, Amy and the others found Sonic after his battle with Ultimate Emerl and she welcomed him tearfully back. Shortly after, Amy following Sonic out on new adventures.

Sonic Heroes
In Sonic Heroes, Amy is the leader of Team Rose, and the team's speed type leader. She is accompanied by Cream the Rabbit and Big the Cat, who want to find Chocola (Cheese's brother) and Froggy, respectively. Amy, however, simply wants to find Sonic and express her love by defeating Eggman herself in order to impress him. She and her team eventually confront Neo Metal Sonic with Team Sonic, Team Dark and Team Chaotix, after he copied all of their data to gain the strength needed to defeat Sonic and conquering the world. They also find out that Metal Sonic is the one who has kidnapped Chocola and Froggy.

Sonic Battle
Amy appears in Sonic Battle as a playable character. In the story, Amy comes and asks Tails about Emerl, and Tails explains that Emerl is like Sonic's child. Amy takes this statement literally and thinks that Sonic is testing her to see if she could handle taking care of a real child. Amy then takes Emerl away and tells him to call her his "mother", thus making Emerl believe that Amy is his actual mother. Amy also chases after and fights Rouge when she steals Emerl for her own purposes.

Amy is often considered to be one of the stronger and more reliable characters in the game, since all of her attacks are fairly balanced and contains a good mixture of speed and power, making her the third fastest character in the game. Her healing ability can quickly raise her HP.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Amy appeared alongside Sonic and the rest of the cast in Shadow the Hedgehog to try to convince Shadow to join their cause. Amy needs Shadow's help to rescue Cream and Cheese from Eggman's Cryptic Castle. No matter which mission the player chooses, after the stage is completed, Amy will assist the player in the fight against the Egg Breaker. Oddly enough, however, she does not appear in the cutscenes before or after the battle.

She later appears in the game's final story, where she attempts to dissuade Shadow from letting Black Doom get the Chaos Emeralds. After Shadow fulfilled Gerald Robotnik's original plans prior to his going insane, Amy expressed hope that Shadow survived as he is Shadow when Rouge questioned whether he survived. She also bore witness to Knuckles chasing off Eggman.

Sonic Riders
Amy is a playable character in Sonic Riders from the start. She is a speed type racer, her default Gear is the Pink Rose, and has stats equivalent to Sonic's and Jet's. She joins in the EX World Grand Prix along with Team Sonic because she wants to "keep her eye on Sonic", much to Sonic's disgrace. Wave walks by, who observes Sonic's Extreme Gear (and places a bomb on it; unknowingly to the heroes) and mocks at Tails, who claims the Gear as "a piece of junk" before leaving. Amy gets angry at Wave and challenges her to a race, being able to outperform her.

Eventually, Amy herself is knocked out of the tournament. She cheers Sonic on in hopes of winning the finals race by beating Jet. After Jet wins, Amy and the rest of the heroes discover Jet using a cube along with the 7 Chaos Emeralds to summon Babylon Garden as it rises out of the underground. Eggman snatches the Key and takes off to Babylon Garden, but not before Amy hitches a ride with the doctor on his Egg Mobile.

Eventually, the doctor held Amy out hostage when Sonic tried to stop him but by creating a series of windstorms on his new Gear, Amy was freed from Eggman's grasp. Despite of this rescue, Amy gets mad at Sonic for diving into Eggman and chases him with her Piko Piko Hammer around Tails and Knuckles.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, she finds one of the Arks of the Cosmos and not knowing what it actually was, refuses to hand it over to Jet. After being chased by Storm, she throws it at his face and gets mad at him because he caused her to become lost. Amy forces him to lead her back to Sonic, but he ditches her when he finds a destroyed robot with another Ark of the Cosmos inside. She is then found by Sonic and tells him that Storm mentioned the Gigan Rocks, a place where they could find information about the Arks.

Sonic Free Riders
Amy teams up with Cream and Vector in Sonic Free Riders in order to win the second EX Grand Prix and so she can see Sonic. In the Team Rose story, they must beat three teams in order to win the World Grand Prix. In the end, Amy celebrates her victory and rushes to Sonic, telling him he should go on a date with her because she won, much to Sonic's disgrace.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
Amy appears in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and serves as an ally in Silver the Hedgehog's storyline. In this game, she mistakes Silver as Sonic. Learning that Silver was also looking for Sonic, she tries to enlist his help, not realizing Silver's true intentions on killing Sonic. Upon finding Sonic, Silver battles him and loses, but manages to catch Sonic off-guard afterward, and is able to hit him with a powerful blow, thus gaining the upper hand. However, Amy stops him from delivering the final blow. Amy also saves the damsel-in-distress Princess Elise&mdash;as well as Sonic&mdash;at one point in the story. She eventually found out that Silver didn't kill Sonic and that it was all part of Mephiles' plan to kill Sonic himself.

Amy can be played during the final level, End of the World, where she helps to revive Sonic by collecting one of the Chaos Emeralds. In the end, Solaris has been destroyed by Super Sonic, Super Shadow and Super Silver. Due to Solaris being erased from existence, therefore causing the events of the game to never happen, it is unknown if Amy remembers the events of the game.

Sonic Rivals
Amy also appears in Sonic's storyline in Sonic Rivals. In this game, Amy has been turned into a card by Doctor Eggman Nega and Sonic sets off to save both her and Tails. She also makes cameo appearances on three collectible cards.

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood
In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Amy went with Sonic to save Knuckles&mdash;and later the world&mdash;from Imperator Ix. Early on in the story, Amy claims to Sonic that she has found a new boyfriend called Dexter and tries at many occasions to present him as a great boyfriend, but without going into much detail about him. Depending on the player's choices, Amy will reveal to Sonic that she just made him up in an attempt to make Sonic jealous.

It is revealed in this game that Amy has started a club for young girls to protect themselves from bullies. When the Voxai Overmind brainwashed her, she says "You never pay attention to me". Also, the player can engage in a romantic subplot between Sonic and Amy, which varies based on the player's conversation choices. She is the first unlockable character and the second playable character.

Sonic Unleashed
Amy is one of the few Sonic characters to appear in Sonic Unleashed. She made her introduction, as she did in Sonic Adventure 2 's Dark Story and Silver's story in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), by hugging someone who looks like Sonic the Hedgehog. Although she hugged the right hedgehog this time, she didn't recognize Sonic due to him being in his Werehog form. She apologized, saying that she could have sworn it was him, and then ran off, causing Sonic to become depressed, as he is shown that he is not the same at all in his new form. Later, after Sonic saves her from some people possessed by Dark Gaia, he dashed away. However, it is implied that Sonic may not dislike her as much as he thinks.

Amy later finds out about Sonic's new form, saying that although he's changed his look, he's still Sonic to her. She later follows Sonic, Tails, Chip and Professor Pickle to Shamar when the laboratory is relocated. In the Wii/PS2 version, she decides to help out Professor Pickle in his research, having gained an interest in learning; this role is filled by his assistant and Tails in the 360/PS3 version, and she instead fawns over Sonic when spoken to outside the lab. In the latter versions, she can optionally ask Sonic out on a date near the end of the game, and he can either agree or turn her down. In both versions, she tries to strike hope into Professor Pickle by showing unwavering faith in Sonic during his final battle; after the fact, Amy prepares a "coming home" party for Sonic.

Sonic Colors (DS)
Amy appears in the DS version of Sonic Colors as a non-playable character. She is excited to see Sonic again and asks him to complete a mission for her entertainment. When Sonic finishes it, Amy comments that it was "dreamy" and asks Sonic to marry her, causing Sonic to ditch her and leave the problem to Tails. Later, Amy finds Sonic with Big, and asks him to complete one more mission for her. After Sonic is done, Amy decides to have a picnic with him. Amy then screams in joy, saying, "Eating together in an Aquarium! We are so gonna date!" Tails comments on this, explaining that they were in the middle of Eggman's base.

Sonic Generations
In the console/PC version of Sonic Generations, Amy attended and helped preparing Sonic's surprise birthday party. As the party started, however, the Time Eater suddenly appeared, and Amy was then sucked into one of the Time Eater's Time Holes and ended up in the White Space, where she was turned into a statue due to the Time Eater's effects.

Eventually, Amy was returned to normal by Classic Sonic (Sonic's past self) and Modern Sonic (Sonic's present self). When Classic and Modern Sonic confronted the Time Eater, which was revealed to be controlled by Modern Eggman and Classic Eggman, Amy arrived at the battle with the others and cheered on both Sonics, allowing them both to transform into Super Sonic. When the Sonics defeated the Time Eater, Amy and the others were sent back to the present, where Amy knocked Knuckles into a tree for deeming Sonic's performance "half-bad". Continuing the celebration from where it left off, Amy later waved goodbye to Classic Sonic and Classic Tails when they returned to their own time.

Sonic Lost World
In Sonic Lost World, Amy remained behind with Knuckles to look after some animals while Sonic and Tails went to free the other animals Dr. Eggman had captured. While waiting, Amy contacted Sonic, who reported they only rescued one capsule of animals, and she pleaded to him to save the others.

When the Deadly Six took control of Eggman's Extractor and began draining the Life Energy out of Earth, Amy contacted Sonic and Tails and reported about this phenomenon. Eventually, Amy herself became drained of her energy to the point where her death seemed imminent. Contacting Sonic, Amy told him it was too late for them, and urged him to save the world as their transmission got cut out. Fortunately, she and everyone else were saved when Sonic and Tails got the Extractor to return the stolen energy. With the world's restoration, Amy welcomed Sonic and Tails back when they arrived, before coming over to Sonic when he tried to take a nap.

Sonic Drift/Sonic Drift 2
In the game Sonic Drift and its sequel, Sonic Drift 2, Amy ended up joining two drift-racing competitions, both of which offered Chaos Emeralds as prizes. Driving a blue car, and later a red one, she competed in both races in an attempt to meet and impress Sonic.

Sonic Advance 2
Amy is an unlockable character in Sonic Advance 2, after collecting all of the Chaos Emeralds with all four of the other characters. In this game, she was able to perform the Spin Jump and Spin Dash. Amy is not seen in the Sound Test screen in this game because Cream The Rabbit replaced Amy as the fourth main character in the Sonic Advance series for this game.

Amy does not appear in the story of Sonic Rivals 2, but she is featured on two collectible cards.

Sonic and the Secret Rings
Amy is a playable character in the Party Mode of Sonic and the Secret Rings alongside Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Cream, Silver, and Blaze.

Sonic and the Black Knight
Amy appears in Sonic and the Black Knight, portrayed as Nimue, the Lady of the Lake. She gives Excalibur to King Arthur, which later proves to be a mistake. Sonic backs away when he firsts meets her because he thinks she is actually Amy. Nimue tells him that whoever holds the scabbard of Excalibur will become corrupted by its influence. She gives three tests to Sonic: First, he must free the innocent people from King Arthur's dungeon. Second, he must show compassion to those in need, and finally, he must defeat King Arthur's Knights of the Underworld.

Nimue places a three-day time limit for the tests to be completed. On the third day, she disguises herself as a young child and asks Sonic to rescue her "parents" and the people from her village. He completes the test, but runs out of time. She reveals herself after he tells her everyone's okay. She states that he has shown courage, strength and compassion. Nimue then explains to Sonic that Caliburn, along with the swords of Sir Gawain, Sir Lancelot, and Dame Percival combined can stop Excalibur's immortality-giving ability. Nimue also appears as the kingdom is falling into darkness and tells Sonic and the three knights to place their swords in four shrines to create a barrier around Camelot Castle. After the game, Sonic, who has been taken back to his world, explains his journey to Amy Rose, who then complains that he is lying and forgot about their date and proceeds to attack him with her hammer, as My Sweet Passion plays. This may be the same date that Sonic could have agreed to during Sonic Unleashed, which is an optional scene towards the end of the adventure.

Sonic Adventures
Sonic Adventures was a two-volume, French-made comic book published by Sirène, that was released in 1994. Amy appears in the first volume&mdash;"Sonic Adventures: Dans Les Griffes De Robotnik"&mdash;being kidnapped by Robotnik as bait to get Sonic. This version of Amy has the same design as in Sonic CD.

Sonic the Comic
Amy has appeared in the UK publication Sonic the Comic, in which she was a level-headed and pragmatic member of the Freedom Fighters&mdash;when she wasn't claiming to be Sonic's girlfriend. She also became the leader of the team while Sonic was trapped in the Special Zone. She was close friends with Tekno the Canary, and she used a crossbow in battle&mdash;rather than the Piko Piko Hammer that eventually became her trademark in the games.

Archie Comics
In the Sonic the Hedgehog comics by Archie Comics, Amy is from the country of Mercia and has a cousin named Rob O' the Hedge. As in other continuities, she has a crush on Sonic.

In her earliest appearances, she attempted to become a member of the Freedom Fighters, but was rejected frequently because of her young age. She then made herself older by wishing on the Ring of Acorns, but was still denied by Sally since she still had the mind of a younger girl. Eventually, however, Amy did advance enough to be accepted as a Freedom Fighter, and became an important member of the team.

Sonic X (comics)
Amy Rose's role in the Sonic X comic is similar to hers in the Sonic X anime. In the comic book version, her relationship with Sonic is developed more closely, with Sonic even taking her on a date for Valentine's Day, although this was due to him having lost a bet with Knuckles. He seemed to enjoy himself, however, when Amy asked him if he would ever take her on a date again, Sonic answered "Er... Maybe?"

Sonic X
Amy is one of the main characters in Sonic X, an anime series which is the most recent of the Sonic the Hedgehog TV shows. This is her first appearance in a Sonic TV series, as she did not appear in any of the other three American-produced series.

In Sonic X, Amy is Sonic's self-proclaimed girlfriend. Much the same as in the game series, her long-term goal is to get him to notice, love and respect her. She gets mad at Sonic's impatience and aloof attitude, which occasionally are so bad that she is driven to violence. However, she really does care about him and doesn't want him to get hurt. Likewise, Sonic seems closer and more comfortable with Amy in the anime, even going so far as to bring her a white rose and say he loves for her in one episode. Amy also has romantic daydreams about her and Sonic. Overall, her personality is more temperamental, bossy, annoying and stubborn than in the games; she may threaten or even harm her friends for things they had nothing to do with, but she still has the same kind heart that she possesses in the games.

Sonic Boom
Amy will appear as one of the main characters in the new upcoming CGI animated TV series Sonic Boom, which will air in Fall 2014.

Personality
Amy in the main series is presented as being somewhat kind and girly. In Sonic CD, she was referred to as an "optimistic tomboy" who loves fortunes and uses tarot cards. Because of her tomboyish nature, she became a playable character as a fighter in Sonic the Fighters. However, after Sonic Adventure, Amy had grown a more feminine personality, such as an interest in shopping and fashion, but that didn't remove her tomboyish nature. However, in the later games, she has the personality of a girly-girl more so than a tomboy unlike the earlier games. In the more recent games, Amy has become a bit more obsessive and far more aggressive, much to Sonic's dismay. She often shows her anger by pulling out her Piko Piko Hammer out of Hammerspace, sometimes threatening Sonic with it.

In Sonic Battle, her attraction towards "Boxercise" plays to both elements of her ever-changing personality: the exercise helping her lose weight to maintain her girlish figure, and the boxing to help her train when she's forced to fight. In Sonic Battle, she had shown a very powerful and aggressive attitude, willing to fight whenever necessary.

Despite her aggressive tendencies, Amy has a good heart, never gives up, and is one of the most optimistic and cheerful characters. Amy is always full of hope and is always cheering on for the good side of things. She almost never seems to find anything hopeless, as shown in Sonic Adventure, where she was determined to help the Flicky who had lost his family.

In Sonic Adventure 2, Amy felt strongly that there was a chance for the world to be saved and that people were basically good (as she told Shadow). Amy is often a likable person she has rarely met anyone who she did not befriend (including Shadow and Blaze). Amy is a cheerful and caring individual, with a positive outlook on life, and an over sweeping infatuation for Sonic.

Since 2010, after the release of Sonic Free Riders, Amy seems to be more bossy and infatuated with Sonic than before. This is most likely due to the more light and humorous nature of recent Sonic games. Amy's personality has added more a humorous factor in games like Sonic Colors, Sonic Free Riders, and Sonic Generations with her obsession for Sonic, which causes her to say silly and embarrassing things.

In terms of physical attributes, Amy is not exactly gifted with physical abilities on a superhuman level, such as other characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Despite this, however, Amy does possess above average physical capabilities, making her a powerful character in her own right.

While not strictly superhuman, Amy does possess a high degree of physical strength. She is able to wield her Piko Piko Hammer, which appears to weigh quite a bit, with little effort, and can swing her Piko Piko Hammer around with enough force to smash clean through metal and send enemies sky rocketing. She even has enough strength to swing her Piko Piko Hammer around so fast that she can ascend into the air like a helicopter rotor or generate shock waves and whirlwinds by either swinging it or hammering into the ground. She can as well provide enough force with her Piko Piko Hammer to send herself into the air by hammering it into the ground. On top of that, in Sonic Generations, when Amy accidentally hits Knuckles, she strikes him with enough force to send him flying into a nearby tree without even noticing.

Like most characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Amy has developed the ability to run at super speeds, which stem from her practice chasing after Sonic and possibly her innate hedgehog abilities. Though her exact top speed while running is unclear, she can run fast enough to keep Sonic, who is the fastest character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, on a constant lookout for her while evading her, suggesting that Amy possesses a remarkably high level of running speed.

Amy has as well good acrobatic skills and agility, being able to handle and swing her large Piko Piko Hammer gracefully and without disturbing her path when airborne, perform various forms of movements and tricks when launched into midair, and grind on rails with ease.

Combat Skills
Though kind and optimistic, Amy is a tough and powerful fighter. Combined with her aggressive approach when provoked, Amy can be a fierce opponent in a confrontation. Though she has not received much training in martial arts, reminiscing more of exercises, Amy knows how to defend herself against, and can go up against powerful robots and even highly trained combatants such as the Nocturnus Clan soldiers.

Fighting Style
Amy's fighting style is heavily based on the usage of her Piko Piko Hammer. In battle, Amy uses her Piko Piko Hammer's size and durability to her advantage, either swinging her hammer into the opponent and knocking the opponent a great distance away through midair, or bringing the entirety of her hammer's weight down on the opponent in a downward swing, crushing her opponents with devastating force. When launching more offensive or effective moves, Amy will swirl around with her Piko Piko Hammer, turning herself into a spinning top that mows down everything she comes into contact with or even stir up whirlwinds and shock waves to send opponents flying, though such maneuvers can leave her dizzy.

Despite preferring to use her Piko Piko Hammer when fighting enemies, Amy can as well fight opponents hand-to-hand in direct combat, though she rarely resorts to this method. As seen in Sonic Battle, when fighting opponents close up, Amy will resort to kickboxing moves, using fast jabs and uppercuts to hit her opponents.

Techniques and Moves
Amy has one of the widest ranges of moves and techniques in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, ranging from techniques involving her Piko Piko Hammer, to the basic Spin Attack maneuvers, to even mimicries of other characters' moves.

Most of Amy's offensive techniques revolves around the variants of her primary offensive technique, the Hammer Attack, a downward swing with her Piko Piko Hammer on opponents. These variants serve to compensate for Amy's lack of superior physical skills and moves. Her Jump Attack lets her swing her Piko Piko Hammer in midair to attack enemies while airborne with increased attack range, and her Spin Hammer Attack and Hammer Whirl lets her spin around with her Piko Piko Hammer to attack with increased attack range. For better movements, Amy can use her Hammer Jump and Mid-Air Hammer Jump techniques to let her somersault higher into the air by setting off with her Piko Piko Hammer from where she is positioned, and with her Propeller Hammer she can float through the air like a helicopter for a short while.

Some of Amy's more special moves include her Tornado Hammer where she throws a whirlwind at opponents to blow them off the ground, and the Rose Typhoon where she creates a dome-like shock wave by hammering into the ground. While she sometimes lacks it, Amy can also perform the various forms of the Spin Attack, which is a variation on the tendency for hedgehogs to roll into tight balls for protection. The Homing Attack allows Amy to jump and home in on an enemy to get over large gaps she cannot normally reach, the Spin Jump lets her curl into a ball to attack opponent by landing on them, and the Spin Dash lets her shoot herself forward as an acceleration roll at high speeds to break barriers or mow down enemies.

Miscellaneous Skills
Amy has on several occasions proved to possess excellent tracking and searching skills, especially when she is looking for Sonic. As demonstrated during her searches for Sonic, Amy is able to, through a mix of dowsing and just plain searching, locate the general area of the person that she is looking for, no matter where in the world it is. In fact, at least in Sonic's case, Amy is able to "feel" that the person she is looking has been in a certain location. Amy's tracking skills are further enforced in Sonic Rush, where Cream told Blaze that Amy was sure to find Sonic for them.

Amy has as well displayed some skills in the mystical field, primarily in reading tarot cards. Using her tarot cards, Amy is able to predict the future and give herself knowledge of future events, such as successfully predicting where Sonic would be in Sonic the Hedgehog CD and Sonic Battle, and even curse others.

In Sonic the Fighters, Amy demonstrated the ability to harness Chaos Energy from the Chaos Emeralds, allowing her to enter the Hyper Mode.

Though not necessarily a special skill or ability, Amy's positive outlook and attitude gives her the ability to convince even the most cold-hearted and cruel people into giving up on their evil ways through genuinely heart-spoken speeches, as seen in the cases of Shadow the Hedgehog and E-102 Gamma.

In the Sonic Riders series, Amy has steadily proven herself as a very talented Extreme Gear rider. Though she did not make it to the finals during the first EX World Grand Prix in Sonic Riders, she had at the time of the Grand Prix in Sonic Free Riders become so skilled at riding Extreme Gear that she was able compete against even the world's best Extreme Gear riders. While riding on an Extreme Gear, Amy is skillful enough to ride on rails, focus on opponents while remaining in control of her Extreme Gear, and as well pulls off highly advanced tricks and techniques on her Extreme Gear while in midair.

Piko Piko Hammer
Amy's trademark weapon is the Piko Piko Hammer, a large and durable hammer that she is able to call out from nowhere at will, and is Amy's preferred means of offense. Though simple in function, Amy can wield the Piko Piko Hammer with incredible proficiency. While mostly used in melee combat in various ways, Amy can use it in several other ways, such as executing better movement, perform long-ranged attacks, or even have it mimic the variants of the Spin Attack. Even powerful figures such as Sonic and Knuckles get worried and even afraid when Amy pulls out her Piko Piko Hammer, hinting the danger that this weapon poses when in her hands.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Amy Rose believes that being together with Sonic the Hedgehog is her destiny as foretold by her initial tarot card reading, and has indeed fallen madly in love with the blue hero since her fateful rescue in Sonic the Hedgehog CD. While Sonic appears annoyed by her affections, her infatuation was renewed upon meeting him once again in Sonic Adventure, where she resolved to become more independent to win over Sonic's heart by the end of her tale. Even though he seems nervous and occasionally overwhelmed by her advances, Sonic at least considers Amy a good friend and worthy comrade, and is always there to help her out should the need arise. Sonic's emotional neglect for the most part does not seem to hurt or deter Amy; rather, she continues to treat him as if he is hiding his feelings behind a facade, which has occasionally been implied to be the case (such as in the Sonic Heroes manual). As of Sonic Heroes, Amy's Sonic-chasing tendencies were particularly aggressive and hyperactively over the top for a while, which put off Sonic and only caused him to run away. Having developed a more mellow approach in recent years, the relationship between the two has become less defined and may even be interpreted as a serious on-off interest, although she is still identified as Sonic's "self-proclaimed" girlfriend and they do not currently make an official couple.

In Sonic Battle, Amy obsesses with "Boxercise" as part of her arduous physical training to impress Sonic with her adamant dedication, which mildly works but also worries him. In Amy's story, she asks Tails about Emerl, and Tails explains that Emerl is like a child to Sonic. Amy takes this literally and thinks that Sonic wants her to be Emerl's mother. Amy then takes Emerl away and tells him to call her his mother, thus making Emerl believe that Amy is actually his mother figure. During her story she tries hard to protect Emerl after losing him to Rouge. At the end of her story, Amy tries to get Sonic to propose to her, but he promptly shivers at the thought and bails.

In Sonic Riders, Amy enters the EX World Grand Prix so she can be beside Sonic, though she becomes mad when Sonic accidentally launches her into a tornado when he had to save her from Dr. Eggman and forgot about her. After getting caught in the tornado, she chases Sonic with her Piko Piko Hammer as payback for forgetting about her.

In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Amy's time is spent mostly trying to find Sonic. She teams up with Silver in order to find him, though when she finds out that he is trying to kill him, she ditches him, saying that she'd choose Sonic over the entire world. In Sonic's story, one of the mandatory Town Missions is the Test of Love, which has the player (as Sonic) choose whether his feelings truly lie with Amy or Princess Elise. Sonic must choose one of these girls to progress, although it is never mentioned again and neither character knows of or reacts to this choice. Later on during the Last Story, nearly every important character gets sent to a time-space rift. They all see that Sonic is dead, and Amy reacts to this by kneeling down and crying into her hands. Oddly enough, when Elise performs the infamous kiss when she revives him as Super Sonic with the Chaos Emeralds, Amy doesn't appear to think twice about it.

In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Amy insecurely claims she finally made a legitimate boyfriend named Dexter during Sonic's long two-year absence, but unusually does not appear to have any wild schemes to get Sonic to accept her. Through dialog trees, the player can decide the extent of Sonic's interaction with her, as well as whether his exchanges are positive, negative or neutral in nature. If he treats Amy with high regard and respect, an additional scene may occur on the Kron Colony near the end of the game where she pulls Sonic aside for a moment, wondering why he has been so nice to her after such an empty gap of time has passed. There are multiple choice outcomes to this scene, from Sonic making it clear once and for all that he cannot be romantically invested in her to him actually admitting that he does return her feelings in some way but promising they can figure out what this means after they get home. If this breakthrough occurs, Amy will reveal that Dexter is fake to her potential boyfriend.

In Sonic Unleashed, Sonic seemed depressed when Amy didn't recognize him as a Werehog, understanding that he isn't the same at all in his Werehog form when Chip pointed it out. When she finds out the Werehog was Sonic, she wanted to know all about how it happened, and had even mentioned that, though Sonic looks better in the day time, she doesn't care about that. Near the end of the 360/PS3 version, she asks Sonic out on a date when she is spoken to, and the player can choose whether Sonic accepts or declines it. If rejected, she will think she earned the opportunity and get a little upset at Sonic's decision, but otherwise she will tell Sonic to hurry up and stop Eggman while she excitedly plans it.

In Sonic and the Black Knight ' s ending, Sonic is shown explaining to Amy all about his adventure in the Arthurian Legend. Amy does not believe him and accuses, "That's the lamest excuse ever! You just forgot about our date!" Acknowledging his missed date, Sonic calmly tries to reason with her by swearing that his story is completely factual, but Amy doesn't listen and apparently pulls out her hammer.

In the DS version of Sonic Colors, Amy tries to have a romantic picnic with Sonic at first; however, Sonic is too busy and does not want to make the picnic look like a date. Later on, with Big and Tails around, he does agree since he is hungry and it doesn't look like a date. Amy also gives Sonic a mission, because he looks "dreamy" when he performs his tricks in stages.

In Sonic Generations, Amy is excited to attend Sonic's birthday. However Sonic keeps Amy away from getting too close to him (such as hugging him) by placing his hand over her face. If Classic Sonic rescues Amy, she mistakes him for the present form of Sonic and questions how he looks so young, whereas if the present Sonic saves Amy, she tells Sonic that she was afraid that she would never be able to flirt with him again, leaving Sonic wordlessly exasperated. If Sonic gets an S rank in Chemical Plant, Amy will compliment that Sonic "knows how to get the girls", and when attaining a Red Star Ring, Amy says that she mistook the ring for an actual ring, meaning that she thought Sonic was giving her a ring as a gift or for another reason.

In Sonic Lost World, Amy's personality was further matured compared to previous appearances, showing a more nurturing and understanding side. She first appears with a group of animals, comforting them with Knuckles. She then calls Sonic to check on how he is doing with rescuing Flickies. The third time she communicates with Sonic, she solemnly tells him that it was too late for her and Knuckles and the planet's energy is leaving them, and she tries to tell Sonic that she loves him before the signal dies, much to Sonic's shock. In the end, they are revealed to be okay, and Sonic pleasantly joins them for a relaxing nap in the open meadow.

A running gag involves Amy making her entrance in a game by running into another hedgehog from the left of the screen and hugging them from behind, mistaking them for Sonic despite looking nothing alike up close.

Cream the Rabbit
Since Sonic Heroes, Cream and Amy share a sister-like relationship, comparable to Sonic and Tails' brother-like friendship. This fact is strengthened by Sonic Advance 3, as when they are paired together, they are given the title "Team Jubilee" and serve as a female counterpart to Sonic and Tails' "Unbreakable Bond." The two are portrayed as best friends and also seem to frequent together almost completely throughout Sonic Battle, except when Emerl drags one of them away. Amy is also seen searching for Cream during the level Cryptic Castle in Shadow the Hedgehog, which further suggests how much she cares for her. Another suggestion is in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. when you go to recruit Cream she says "You poor thing! What are you doing out here?".

In Sonic Rush, it is implied that Amy occasionally gets angry with Cream, angry enough to chase her with her hammer as Cream shouted "Not again!" after she said that Amy was "shortsighted" in the regard of her love of Sonic when Cream introduced Blaze to Amy.

The two team up twice in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for the moves Spin Cycle, the equivalent of Sonic and Tails' Blue Bomber move in which Cream lifts Amy up and sends her spinning into one enemy, as well damaging adjacent ones. Team Rose band together to perform Flower Power, their most potent attack in this game which involves Amy bouncing off Big with a boost from Cream and landing on a foe hammer-first.

In recent games such as Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, Amy seems to be distancing herself from Cream. She is often seen around other characters, such as Blaze, but she still remains close to Amy in Sonic Free Riders, but not quite as a sidekick.

Big the Cat
Big the Cat acts as an older brother figure to Amy and is most likely her other best friend. They form Team Rose and fight together in Sonic Heroes. In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood after meeting Big in the Mystic Ruins, Big states that he "heard his good friend Amy Rose" so he rushed over to see if it was really her. When Big sees Amy he becomes ecstatic and actually makes an attempt to hug her (in which Amy refuses due to the fact that he smelled from the gases in the ruins). Also, if you agree to let Big join your party he, again, becomes happy that he gets to be around Amy.

Miles "Tails" Prower
Tails and Amy rarely interact with each other. In games like Sonic Battle and Sonic Free Riders, Tails tries helping Sonic get away from Amy.

In Sonic Battle, he mistakenly tells Amy that Sonic is treating Emerl like a son which lead her to believe that Sonic wants her to be Emerl's mother.

In Sonic Riders, Amy is defensive of Tails when Wave makes fun of him.

Knuckles the Echidna
Amy has only been seen interacting with Knuckles the Echidna on rare occasions.

In Sonic Heroes when playing as Team Sonic; at the beginning of the fight against Team Rose, Knuckles will taunt Sonic about Amy saying, "Have you been messing with that girl's heart again Sonic?"

In Sonic Rush, Amy stops Knuckles from starting a fight with Blaze.

In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Amy budges in Knuckles' sentence in the end, annoying the echidna. However Knuckles is also seen protecting Amy and pulls her away out of danger in the MeteorTech Premises.

In Sonic Generations, Amy accidentally hurts Knuckles with a great force (which causes him to crash into a tree) after he said that Sonic "wasn't half bad", whereas she thought he was "all great". However, Amy does not notice how hard she hit Knuckles because she was busy swooning at Sonic.

In Sonic Lost World, they work separately from Sonic and Tails in saving the animals from Dr. Eggman.

Shadow the Hedgehog
In Sonic Adventure 2, they interact twice. Amy first meets Shadow when she mistakes him for Sonic and hugs him from behind. When Amy senses the lack of a reaction, she releases him, causing him to glance back at her. Amy demands his name when she realizes that he is not Sonic, but he continues to watch her quietly. After Amy notices Dr. Eggman, she also realizes the mistake she's made, and runs off screaming. During this, Shadow takes a step after her, but Dr. Eggman stops him.

Later in the game aboard the ARK, Amy meets Shadow again and this time does her part in helping by begging Shadow to save the world. At first, Shadow simply replies, strangely in a non-threatening way, that it is pointless, but then Amy points out that despite people sometimes being selfish, they were still inwardly good and that saving them was right. Shadow suddenly has a flashback of Maria begging Shadow to make people happy. Shadow then comes to his senses he goes off to fight the Biolizard, telling Amy that he has to keep his promise to Maria and her.

Amy was also the only one to see Shadow's tear after he remembered Maria Robotnik's promise, making her the only person to see him cry in Sonic Adventure 2. Amy and Maria have the same insight towards humanity, thus this might be one of the reasons Shadow is nice to her, since it's unknown whether or not Shadow remembers Amy's deed in ARK.

During Sonic Battle, Amy is angered by Rouge, who wasn't answering her question as to why Shadow is in her house.

During Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow can choose to assist Amy Rose in helping find Cream and have her fight alongside the player in the boss battle. Regardless, at the end of stage, Shadow benevolently advises, "If you wanna stay clear of trouble, then stay away from that Doctor." In the final ending, Amy shows an amount of faith and admiration for Shadow, regardless of anything bad that may have happened.

Vector the Crocodile
Amy and Vector encountered each other in Sonic Heroes. When the Chaotix saw Team Rose, Vector wanted to ask Amy a question, however her rude response caused the teams to fight.

The next time the two were seen together was in Sonic Free Riders. Vector joined Amy's team along with Cream to win the prize money Eggman advertised about his Grand Prix. Vector and Amy do not seem to get along. At first, Amy blames Vector for not getting them registered for the race even when he claimed that it was not his fault as she invited him to her team 30 minutes ago. Also, when Amy pretends that she wasn't expecting her and Sonic in the Grand Prix (because she wanted to prove that "lovers" are drawn together), Vector disapproves her by calling her a "terrible actress". Amy also appears to yell at Vector and boss him around, something she does not do to Cream throughout the game, even though Cream is also a member of the team.

Reception
A Games Radar article called Amy's introduction "the only bitter taste" in Sonic CD, but added that she's "just a pink hedgehog here and not a whiny, annoying brat like in Sonic Adventure." In an IGN article entitled "Smash It Up", Lucas M Thomas stated that "one of the coolest things about Amy Rose's character is her enormous, walloping hammer" that is often used for comedy in the series.

Amy is overall very well received by fans, and is considered to be one of the series "Top 10" characters, as evidenced by popularity polls. She has tied with Knuckles for fourth place being the most popular female over all. Amy is so far one of the only females to have a figure made by Jazwares, with the other figures being Wave the Swallow and Blaze the Cat.

Trivia

 * Amy was described to be eight years old in Sonic the Hedgehog CD, but from Sonic Adventure onward she has grown by four years.
 * In the Sega CD release of Sonic CD in America, Amy was referred to as "Princess Sally" in the game manual, possibly to connect her to the Sonic animated television series released that same year. However, the Sally that showed up in the cartoons was not Amy. Subsequent re-releases of Sonic CD jettison any references to Amy being named Sally. Interestingly, she was clearly stated as "Amy" in the earlier European manual for Sonic CD.
 * Amy's concept outfit for Sonic Riders appears to give her pink fingers, although her gloves may have been fur-colored rather than fingerless.
 * Amy has always called her Piko Piko Hammer just "my hammer", but in her co-op mission in Sonic Generations, she calls it "my Piko Piko Hammer", this being the first time she has called it by its full name, as well as the first time it has ever been called its full name correctly. (In Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing the Announcer calls it "The Piko Hammer".)
 * Amy's bio in the Codex of Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood calls her Amy Rose the Hedgehog.
 * Also in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Amy has three lashes instead of two on some sprites during cutscenes.
 * Amy was the first female character introduced in the game series as well as the only female hedgehog of the series.
 * In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Amy is the strongest character in terms of Smash ability, being the only character who can reach Level 3. (Knuckles and E-123 Omega can only reach Level 2 Smash ability.)
 * Amy apparently has the power to turn invisible, although the only game she has actively used this power in was Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). After that game's timeline was erased, she didn't turn invisible again until Sonic and the Black Knight, as Nimue.
 * Amy Rose is the only member of Team Rose that is affected by the brainwashing of the Overmind Voxai in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.
 * In Sonic R, Amy is one of two characters who races in a vehicle rather than on foot. The other is Doctor Robotnik.
 * In Sonic the Fighters, Amy's Piko Piko Hammer looks different from the one that is shown in the more recent games, probably due to the fact that it was the hammer's first appearance (not counting Tails' use of a similar hammer in Tails Adventure).
 * If Sonic the Fighters is to be believed, Amy Rose did not wear panties in the classic era - harmless pink fur covers her body underneath her skirt. This was not changed in the HD release.
 * In Sonic Riders, Amy sports a different, racing outfit throughout the game, but in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Amy wears her usual dress in the story cutscenes and in the story level where she races Storm. However, in the Single and Multiplayer modes, she wears the same outfit that she wore in Sonic Riders.
 * Amy is the only playable character in Sonic '06 to not travel to the future nor the past at any time during the game.
 * Amy is one of the few characters in Sonic Unleashed who is not affected by the negative effects of Dark Gaia spreading over the planet.
 * Amy is the only character that appeared in Sonic Rivals that did not appear in Sonic Rivals 2.
 * In the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic makes a reference to Amy after defeating the Dark Guardian in Shamar, when he says, "I know little girls who are better with a hammer than you! Well, one anyway.".
 * Ironically, in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, despite being the speed leader of Team Rose, Amy's attack is slower than other speed leaders like Sonic and Shadow. She is also the strongest attacker of her team, despite Big being the power leader.
 * Amy's hair has grown slightly longer in recent games. The back side of her hair was noticeably shorter than the hair at the side of her face in Sonic Adventure but that part of the hair has been longer since Sonic Unleashed.
 * In the DS version of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, Amy's character and vehicle selection picture shows her car with ears and head mirrors. However, while racing as her, they aren't shown.
 * Strangely, Amy appears in the French guide for Sonic & Knuckles, even though she makes no appearance whatsoever in the game. In that guide, it was said that Amy had been kidnapped by Knuckles.
 * Shadow's Inhibitor rings look similar to Amy's ring-cuffed gloves.
 * Although she does not have her own video game like many of the other main characters, Amy does have her own mobile game called Amy's American Page One for Sonic Cafe.
 * Amy is the only hedgehog not to have a super form.
 * She is also the only hedgehog whose name does not begin with an "S".
 * She is also the only hedgehog who is not shown to be able to use Chaos Control.
 * All of the cars Amy has driven in racing games have been old-fashioned convertibles, similar to how Sonic has driven sports cars and how Knuckles drives off-roaders.
 * Amy's last name, Rose, can be considered a play on words. A rose is a flower that is connected with love, which can be related to her crush on Sonic. It is also a play on her color, because in French, rose translates to pink, her fur color. Her first name, Amy, could also be derived from the Japanese word ame, meaning candy, related to Amy's cute personality, but also rain, which can be related to her quick changing temper and power when she's angry. It is also be derived from the French name Aimée which means beloved which also fits with her connection to love.
 * In the Mario & Sonic series, Amy is the only playable female character who is not a princess.
 * Like Blaze, Amy is a speed type character in the normal series, but in the Mario & Sonic series and in SEGA Superstars Tennis, she is an All-Around type instead.
 * Amy Rose was the alias of Lisa Ortiz which was credited in her voice role of March and Salsa from the game Eternal Sonata.
 * With the release of "Episode Metal", Amy is the only major character from the Classic games who is still around and who has yet to get her own game.
 * Amy Rose is one of four characters to appear in every Sonic the Hedgehog series racing game to date.
 * Although in Sonic Advance Amy cannot typically Spin Dash or Spin Jump, when Amy is forced into a ball, Amy lacks the standard spin animation and an unusual, high pitched noise can be heard.
