Characters[]

Main characters[]

Sonic the Hedgehog
He is the main protagonist of the series, and a lazy, selfish, sarcastic, and self-obsessed hedgehog that does sometimes have a good heart, who lacks some income (thanks to Tails putting all his money in Dreamcast Stock) and is on a frantic quest for some cash, which usually ends up with him failing the task, depending on the type of job.
Miles "Tails" Prower
He is Sonic's sidekick. He serves as the primary deuteragonist of the series, but is also an anti-hero since he was most likely responsible for Sonic's debt and bankruptcy, and is also the final main antagonist of Season 3, where he blows up all of Sonic's cash and breaks up the mob in the end of Season 3, as he is sick and tired of being kicked around by Sonic. He becomes the main antagonist of Season 4, where he becomes rich, but also snobbish and cruel to Sonic, which prompts Sonic to plot a plan to kill Tails. Tails becomes the secondary protagonist again, and him and Sonic become friends again in Season 5, but Sonic treats him more poorly as retribution. In Season 6, Sonic seems to be nicer to Tails after he travels back in time to stop Tails from putting his money on Dreamcast Stock, in which Tails ends up broke and Sonic ends up rich and famous, but changes later on, and turns back into one of Sonic's companions, starting with the end of the season to the seventh season.
Dr. Eggman
He is one of Sonic's co-sidekicks. He used to be the main antagonist but he "somewhat" turns over a new leaf, since that he realized if Sonic ever died, his life would be meaningless, but he and Sonic are still archenemies and continue to treat each other poorly, making Eggman the series de-facto antagonist. He seems to be in his undies all the time, and loves coke on tits. He has a daughter named Eggette, and an unnamed son, after having sex with Lucca, when Sonic altered the timeline. In Season 9, Eggman is revealed to have tenure at College University.
Earthworm Jim
He is one of Sonic's co-sidekicks. He is usually seen hanging out with his best friend Dr. Eggman and sometimes Gilius Thunderhead. He first started hanging out with Eggman ever since Sonic stole his suit and used it as a diaper for Soniqua. He loves coke on tits, along with Eggman.

Supporting characters[]

Knuckles The Echidna
He is the current owner of the Burger Time fast food restaurant, which he says is the fourth-largest burger franchise south of the Green Hill Zone. In Season 4, he has since worked at the restaurant Tre Douche as a waiter due to Sonic burning Burger Time to the ground. After the timeline was altered in the sixth season, he worked back at his job at Burger Time, but he eventually became a single red pixel when the universe was resetting, due to all of the time-traveling that Sonic was involved in. In Season 8, Knuckles becomes an normal Echinda again. In Season 9, Knuckles becomes Sonic's roommate in college and joins the series' main cast.
Mother Brain
She is a extremely horny and grotesque "mutant brain monster." She is the mother of Soniqua and is married to Sonic, her husband, after Sonic had sex with her, she gave birth to Soniqua, soon Mother Brain told Sonic that was late on the child support causing him to run away.
Soniqua
She is the daughter of Mother Brain and Sonic. She is a hybrid creature (half-brain and half-hedgehog) who is usually around with Mother Brain and Sonic (her parents) after Sonic (intoxicatedly) had sex with Mother Brain. Mother Brain quickly gave birth to her, much to Sonic's chagrin. Sonic initially wanted to kill her off, saying that he will prevent him from paying child support. However, She saves Sonic's life from various other people trying to kill him as he soon started to respect Soniqua after she saved Sonic's life from Goro. It was believed that Soniqua no longer existed in Season 6 due to Sonic traveling in time, but in "Return of the Plumber", she is revealed to still be alive and sets out to kill Mario for killing Sonic. It appears that Soniqua can't die, as she is shown to have survived getting dunked into a pool filled with lava.
Kirby
He is one of Sonic's co-sidekicks. Unlike his origin, he is a psychopath, and later on in the series, he becomes a Hollywood producer. But he might not be a Hollywood producer anymore due to Sonic's time traveling, as he got kicked out of Hollywood after a movie called "Two Bad Characters" flopped, and decides to grain a life of peace and tranquility, until he starts murdering video game characters again.
Gilius Thunderhead
He is one of Sonic's co-sidekicks. He is usually around with Jim and Eggman. He is shown to be a bit perverted and is considered a "general creep" that loves asswine. He was also considered to be the "real Sonic" due to Sonic's time-traveling and has since became a zombie. Though, he did turned back to normal in Season 8. Thunderhead also rides on a Chicken Leg, as revealed in the episode "Sonic and Fails."
Link
He is a Hylian from the land of Hyrule who seems to be more into fashion and margaritas than his actual job. Tails has a strong hatred for Link, and even considers him to be gay. He also gave Princess Peach a makeover and has a younger counterpart of himself with an uncle.
Princess Potato
She is a princess in the series with red hair and a blue dress who hails from a Mario knockoff game called Super Italian Laborer Town (which doesn't exist). She knew Mario and his plan to rob Casino Zone. Potato is described as somewhat a whore (examples are shown in "Peach", and "Casino Zone: Part One") and she seems to be an alcoholic, and bossy. Her attitude was the reason why Sonic wanted her dead. She must've had millions of STD's because Kirby claimed he got gonorrhea in his mouth when he ate her. She later returns in Season 6 alive and still a drunk whore. She is revealed to be the President of the United States. In "Thunderhead", She steals the epoch to go time traveling and it causes Mario to come back.

Antagonists[]

Mario
He was once a princess saving plumber, now a high-end Mob boss. After Tails borrows money from Mario to bail Sonic out of jail, Sonic has to play hitman for the mob. After Sonic accidentally fails a mission and then lets Luigi get ran over on the following mission, Mario sets out to kill Sonic. Mario sends his Mafia friends to kill Sonic, but Sonic's friends help Sonic out and Sonic kills Mario, taking over the mafia. In Season 6, Princess Potato goes back in time and revives Mario, who wants revenge on the hedgehog, who kills him later on. In Season 9, Mario is revealed that he is the biggest donor in college and dies once again.

Other characters[]

Dominique Wilkins
A former NBA Basketball player who played for the Atlanta Hawks, he is heavily featured on the poster that Sonic really likes to watch. It was destroyed by Mario's mafia in "The Battle: Part 02", and he was frozen in carbonite before being released by Darth Vader in "The War: Part One", and wandered off to become The Creator when Sonic had to reset the universe, due to his time-traveling, and because he is Sonic's idol.

Footnotes[]

1 - Upon the title's change, the official Facebook page for Sonic For Hire made a post on October 16, 2018 that the powers that be (Warner Bros.) need to avoid legal issues, with one of those being the word "Sonic" cannot be used in the title, leading the executives getting a couple of so-so ideas, meaning the leading candidate is "For Hire" with the same logo, with just "Sonic the Hedgehog" removed.
2 - All rights of the characters and other elements used in this series are from the courtesies of their rightful owners (SEGA, Nintendo, Capcom, Disney, Namco Bandai, Konami, Taito, Rovio, etc.)
