Quotes[]

"Because we're a team! We got beaten to the punch, or in this case, the kick as a team. We can raise our heads proudly, knowing we've traveled all this way, just to watch someone else finish the job. When we walk down the streets and the people whisper "Those are the ones who couldn't quite save the day, almost, but not quite" we will smile together because we didn't do it as a TEAM! I finally understand teamwork... and it is beautiful."
—Sticks' definition of teamwork, Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal
"I knew it. He did have an Obliterator Bot. Why doesn't anyone ever believe me? Its not like I'm paranoid... [turns to her shadow] Stop following me!"
—Sticks when her suspicions about Eggman are confirmed, "Can an Evil Genius Crash on Your Couch for a Few Days?"
"I knew you were coming, but you will never obliterate Sticks, because Sticks is un-obliter... un-obl... un-obliterary... you can't kill me."
—Sticks talking to Obliterator Bot, "Can an Evil Genius Crash on Your Couch for a Few Days?"
"Why is the music controlling us? I'm not your puppet, music master. I'm not your puppet!"
—Sticks, "My Fair Sticksy"
"My breakfast is plotting to kill me."
—Sticks, "Cowbot"
"Okay Team Sticks. The first thing you need to know is survival skills aren't about crafting and making things pretty. It's using what you got."
—Sticks teaching Amy about survival, "Into the Wilderness"
"That'll teach you to team up with alien overloads, you robo-trash."
—Sticks in her happy place, "Just a Guy"
"This is just ridiculous! Everyone knows when the roboapocalypse arrives, it's the can openers that would transmit signals!"
—Sticks going over her sense of logic, "Cabin Fever"
"This is either a mirror or the portal to a parallel universe where my evil twin is trapped! Be gone evil Sticks!"
—Sticks reflecting on the properties of her mirror, "Spacemageddonocalypse"
"While I'm loathe to call a halt to this very important dialogue, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out... ALIENS ARE ABDUCTING OUR TOWELS!"
—Sticks interrupting Knuckles' speech, "Eggman's Anti Gravity Ray"
" Hold it right there, giant shiny men! I won't have you interrogating the poor, defenseless villagers! I mean... uh... the village full of kung-fu masters that... uh... shoot bees out of their mouths! Laser bees!"
—Sticks upon meeting the Maverick Hunters, Sonic Boom #8
"Oh, I figured everyone got blasted back to their own worlds. They probably don't remember it at all because of all the time-travel wibbley-wobbley. But you can't mess with the gooey essence of everything like that without changes happening, y'know? I bet there's still Genesis Portals out there! And there's probably even more worlds to explore! And I bet'cha at the middle of it all is some sort of nexus!"
—Sticks theorizing about space-time and the multiverse, Mega Man #52
"Hi, this is Sticks. I'm in the woods right now. If this is a threat or conspiracy, press one."
—Sticks pretending to be an answering machine, "Robot Employees"

Trivia[]

  • Sticks has several differences from the other members of Team Sonic:
    • She is the only member who doesn't wear sports tape.
    • She is the only member who doesn't wear any gloves.
    • She is the only member who doesn't wear a Communicator (this is because she doesn't trust technology[13]). Instead, she uses an old-fashioned telephone.[10][14]
    • She is the only member with confirmed family members.[2][3]
  • The only family members that Sticks mentioned were her great-aunt and her great-great-grandfather. They were mentioned in "Closed Door Policy" and "Unnamed Episode", respectively.
  • Sticks can play the banjo.[15]
  • Sticks claims that she only owns one outfit.[16]
  • It's said that Sticks can't cook.[17]
  • Sticks claims that she never sleeps. However, it's not entirely true, as there has been instances where she has been seen napping.[18] More likely, she just has long periods where she doesn't sleep at all.[19]
    • When Sticks does go to sleep, she wears a metal cap in her bed.[20]
  • Sticks is the only person in Hedgehog Village who doesn't own a television. Mostly because she believes that they're a conspiracy to control everyone's minds.
  • Out of all the robots she has come to hate, Sticks dislikes Orbot the least.[21]
  • Sticks has demonstrated her own battle cry several times. Her battle cry is a high-pitched shrill.
  • As of Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Sticks has seen a total of twelve ancient cities in her life.
  • Sticks bears a very strong resemblance to Marine the Raccoon. As such, many fans initially mistook Sticks as a supposed Sonic Boom incarnation of Marine until she was revealed to be a new character to the franchise.
  • Sticks bears a resemblance to Aika from Skies of Arcadia and Cham Cham from Samurai Shodown. Both characters have similar hairstyles and wield boomerangs as their main weapons. Cham-Cham and Sticks also grew up and live around nature. Her resemblance to the former was hinted in Sonic the Hedgehog #275.
  • Unlike the other main characters, as seen in the opening of the Sonic Boom television series, Sticks is associated with the color green and not the primary color of her body.
    • However, in Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal she is given an aura based on her primary color like the other characters.
Sticks Sonic Channel

Sticks' profile image on Sonic Channel.

  • Sticks is the first character who hasn't appeared in the mainline Sonic the Hedgehog video game series to get her own wallpaper and profile on Sonic Channel.
  • Sticks is currently the only character exclusively in the Sonic Boom series to appear in a game outside of her franchise.
    • Sticks previously appeared in several works not part of the Sonic Boom brand alongside the rest of the mainline game cast, including Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and a series of comics on Sonic Channel, though her status in the mainline continuity was unconfirmed in these appearances.
  • Sticks is the only main character from the Sonic Boom franchise who is a new character. All other main characters are new versions of their mainstream counterparts.
  • Despite the fact that Sticks is close friends with Sonic and best friends with Amy, her species is the main predator of hedgehogs in real life.
  • Sticks claims that she is incapable of using the spin attack.[22] However, she is clearly able to perform it in Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom. This is likely because the characters in this game all use the same basic moves.
  • Starting from Season 2 of the Sonic Boom television series, Sticks would wield a new weapon in many of the new episodes she appeared in. Series' producer Bill Freiberger has explained this was implemented due to a desire to add new and interesting elements to Season 2.[23]
  • Although Sticks has a horrible singing voice, her English voice actress, Nika Futterman, is actually an accomplished singer. However, Sticks was singing perfectly in "Mister Eggman".
  • Sticks was the first member of her team, and the first of the eight main characters, to have her name appear in an episode title.
  • Sticks is the only member of Team Sonic who doesn't appear in the series premiere, "The Sidekick". She is also one of three members who doesn't fight with Dr. Eggman in the same episode. The other two are Amy and Knuckles.
  • "Return of the Buddy Buddy Temple of Doom" is the only episode where Sticks doesn't interact with the Froglodytes. The reason why is because she doesn't appear in the episode.
  • Even though the name of Sticks' great-great-grandfather is Jebediah Badger, the name of her great-aunt is unknown.
  • Even though Sticks claims that she doesn't sleep, she was seen sleeping in "Mayor Knuckles".
  • According to Ian Flynn, he wanted Sticks to appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. There was an original pitch where after the end of the first arc, Sticks would appear at the end, revealing that she was living on Angel Island in secret, though this was rejected by Sega. Despite this, Flynn has implied that Sega is open to including her in the future.[24]
  • Sticks is mentioned by Amy in Sonic Frontiers, with her saying "I wonder if Cream and Sticks are free? Make a road trip out of it." This is the first instance of any Sonic Boom character being mentioned in a mainline Sonic game. Before this, Sticks had a profile on Sonic Channel, was featured in Sonic Comic, and was a guest character in Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
    • According to Ian Flynn, this was done as a way to introduce a counterpart for her in the mainline game series.[25]
    • However, Sticks isn't mentioned in the Japanese version of Sonic Frontiers.
