Sonic Heroes
Team Sonic made it's first appearance in Sonic Heroes as one of the four teams playable in the game, at the start of Teams Sonic's story, Sonic is off running through the world, as always, when Tails and Knuckles arrive. Tails hands him a threat message from Dr. Eggman, saying that in three days, he will conquer the world. Up for a challenge, Sonic goes to stop him. Tails and Knuckles come along as well, forming Team Sonic.

This team's levels are for intermediate players of the game, and contain a variety of high speed sections. Their extra missions involve completing the stage in a certain time limit. Team Sonic's Team Blast is Sonic Overdrive. In their Super forms, the Team Blast is Super Sonic Power.

Team Sonic's theme is "We Can" by Ted Poley and Tony Harnell.

Team Super Sonic
Team Super Sonic is the unofficial name of the final team playable in Sonic Heroes. Using the power of the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic transformed into Super Sonic, and then passed on some of his power to Tails and Knuckles. The team then confronted the Metal Overlord. There is no official name for the Team Blast of this team, so it was given the moniker, Super Sonic Power by fans. Super Sonic once again showed his ability to transform others into their Super Form in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), in which he transformed fellow hedgehogs Shadow and Silver, into Super Shadow and Super Silver, respectively.

Moves
Like most Super transformations, the team has enhanced skills, stronger moves, and they even start off at Level 3. Sonic can use the Light Speed Attack at any given moment by pressing the action button mid-jump if objects are nearby. However, doing this costs the team five rings. The move is just like when he uses it in the team's regular form right after their Team Blast. Tails' Thunder Shoot launches Sonic straight into the Light Speed Attack, just like he does right after a Team Blast in the regular Team Sonic. Knuckles' Power Combo allows him to continuously attack with devastating punches and exploding fireballs. This move is so powerful, that it can be used to counter and destroy the Egg Fleet battleships that the Metal Overlord occasionally tosses at the team.

Team Members

 * Super Sonic
 * Tails (with Super-Shields)

Trivia

 * Team Super Sonic is the only team to start out completely leveled up.
 * In the PC version, Sonic doesn't have an aura around him. Instead, he becomes a lighter golden color.
 * Only Sonic goes Super as this team. Tails, being very young, can only go super with the Super Emeralds. However, it is unexplained why Knuckles didn't become Hyper Knuckles.
 * Super Sonic can be on Super Hard Mode if hacked on PC.

Sonic Riders
The team returns in Sonic Riders. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles encounter the Babylon Rogues, a group of thieving birds who ride Extreme Gear, who steal a emerald that trio were tracking. The next day, The three catch an announcement made by Dr. Eggman advertising the Ex World Grand Prix, when Sonic discovers that the Babylon Rouge have entered the race, The three sign up as Team Sonic and serve as the playable characters in the heroes storyline alongside Amy Rose. The members of each team developed a rivalry against their respective character. During the course of Sonic Riders, Wave criticized Tails' Extreme Gear handling, but this later helped Tails beat her in a race. In a Grand Prix race sponsored by Dr. Eggman, Sonic was just about to win, but had not known about a bomb on his board. Wave detonated the bomb, causing Sonic to wipe out and Jet to win (though unfairly). In the Babylon Garden, Team Sonic, the Babylon Rogues, and Amy then faced off against the Babylon Guardian, and later found out the treasure of the Babylons was a Flying Carpet. Before the credits rolled, Sonic gave Jet his box back, seeing as the Rogues needed it more.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Tails received a news report of MeteorTech Robots going berserk, and one of the berserk robots attacks Sonic and company, and proceed to chase it. The team later finds a circular stone which was later revealed to control Gravity. The team then arrives at ruins, and Knuckles proceeds to examine it. From the inspections, Knuckles infers that the ruins spoke of a "Lightless Black". Later, as Team Sonic and Amy met up, the Babylon Rogues arrive and demanded Sonic to hand over the Ark of the Cosmos, which was the circular stone that Sonic, Tails and Knuckles found. The team then collects the Arks of the Cosmos, and lets Jet keep them, as Sonic had no need for them. However, one MeteorTech Robot stole the Arks, and Team Sonic and the Babylon Rogues proceeded to defeat the robot and retrieve the Arks before they get sucked into the massive Black Hole. Later, Tails then talked about the ruins' message with Sonic and Knuckles, telling them that it was a warning of using the Arks. Then, the Rogues appear, and the two teams race off.

Sonic Free Riders
In Sonic Free Riders Sonic, Tails and Knuckles team up for the 2nd World Grand Prix to stop Eggman. In this game their name is changed from Team Sonic to Team Heroes.

Mario & Sonic series
In the crossover series Mario and Sonic, Team Sonic is expanded out to all the characters who originated from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, meaning Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Dr. Eggman, Shadow, Vector and Blaze are all included in Team Sonic. In the sequel, Mario And Sonic At The Olympic Winter Games, two more members joined Team Sonic: Silver the Hedgehog and Metal Sonic.

Unoffical appearances
Whilst Team Sonic did not officially appear until Sonic Heroes, there have been several times throughout the series where all three characters have worked together or teamed up to face a common enemy, the first instance of this happening is in Sonic 3 & Knuckles if the player chooses to play as Sonic and Tails. During the game's climax at Hidden Palace Zone, Dr. Robotnik reveals his true colors to Knuckles and steals the Master Emerald, after an unsuccessful attempt to retake the Emerald from Eggman's clucthes, Knuckles assists Sonic and Tails, leading them to a hidden room with a teleporter to Sky Sanctuary Zone. Upon arrival, Knuckles, already weakened from his short bout with Robotnik, offers one last bid of assistance to the duo by opening a bridge to the rest of the Sanctuary.

For the majority of Sonic Adventure 2 Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles do not work together, however after Knuckles has completed Aquatic Mine, he joins forces with Sonic and Tails, however, when the group reaches outer space on their way to Space Colony ARK, Knuckles goes on his own to find the remaining pieces of the Master Emerald.

In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Tails and Knuckles assist Sonic during Sonic's storyline. Occasionally during Sonic's levels, Tails or Knuckles may take over and become playable for a breif section of the stage. In Town Mission 8: The Legend of the Three Musketeers, the player must play through three missions playing as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.

Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles appear as playable characters in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Sonic appears as the main character whilst Tails and Knuckles are recruited to the player party later on. When Tails and Knuckles are in Sonic's party, the three can perform a special POW move called the Triple Tornado, and with the addition of Amy, the Hail Storm.

Appearances In Other media
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles team up in Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie. When Sonic and Tails travel to Robotropolis, Knuckles teams up with them to help them defeat Metal Robotnik. Together, the three suceed by using a technique very similar to their Team Blast in Sonic Heroes (and could've possibly inspired it). The three then work together for the rest of the film to stop Hyper Metal Sonic and to foil Doctor Robotnik's scheme to destroy the planet.

During Sonic X, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles team up several times throughout the show's run.
