Sonic Heroes[]

In Sonic Heroes, a giant alligator appears as an obstacle at the end of Lost Jungle when playing as Team Sonic or Team Dark.[3] In a chase sequence, the player has to swing on a series of vines at a quick, careful pace to stay ahead of the alligator. Failing to do this results falling into the swamp water or getting damaged by the alligator. The player cannot directly attack or interact with it beyond the sequence.

In Sonic Frontiers, the alligator is one of many collectable items to be earned in Fishing Spot minigame hosted by Big the Cat. Based on different Fishing Spot, catching an alligator is worth of varying amount of Treasure Tokens: 24 tokens in Northern Fishing Spot and 48 tokens in Southern Fishing Spot.[4][5]
