While the pair were detained by the doctor with his EggHammerTankII, however, Sonic the Hedgehog showed up and freed them. After they gave, they're thanks to Sonic though, he ran off to find his friends and stop Eggman. However, Cheese and Cream came along with Sonic to save Vanilla, who was still in trouble.

Joined by Tails and Knuckles along the way, Cheese and Cream seemingly defeated Eggman alongside their new friends. Shortly after then destroying Eggman's space station, Cheese and Cream found Vanilla. However, Vanilla was soon after kidnapped by Eggman in his mech vehicle, with Cheese and Cream unable to stop him. While Cheese was unsure of what to do next, Sonic used the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic and pursue Eggman. Soon after, Sonic brought Vanilla back. After the happy reunion however, Cheese noticed that Sonic had already taken his leave.

#### *Sonic Advance 3 Comic*

In *Sonic Advance 3*, after the world got split into seven regions by a massive Chaos Control induced by Dr. Eggman, Cheese and Cream were taking a walk in Cyber Track but got lost. There, they met Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy and joined up with them to stop Eggman's scheme.

On their way, Cheese and their companions collected the seven Chaos Emeralds. Along the way, they also fought Eggman's creation, Gemerl, a rebuilt version of Emerl. At the end, Cheese and the others got to the Altar Emerald where they beat Eggman and his Hyper Eggrobo, and then used the Master Emerald to restore the world. Soon after, Cheese and the others found Sonic following his battle with Ultimate Gemerl and welcomed him back, before following him out on a new adventure.

When a deactivated Gemerl later showed up, the robot was taken to Tails. There, Cheese helped Tails as he reprogrammed Gemerl in the image of his predecessor's friendly personality. Afterward, Cheese and Cream befriended Gemerl, who came to live with them and Vanilla.

### *Sonic Heroes*

In *Sonic Heroes*, when Cheese's twin, Chocola, went missing, Cheese and Cream went looking for them. They eventually met Amy and Big who revealed that they were looking for Sonic and Froggy respectively. As they pondered on Amy's clue to their friends' whereabouts, Cheese, along with Cream, got it back when it nearly blew away. The two were then nearly blown away themselves but were saved by Big. Regrouping, the quartet set out to find their friends, forming Team Rose.

As they searched the sea, Team Rose ran afoul with Dr. Eggman, but Cheese and their team beat him and his Egg Hawk. After that, the team followed Amy's hunch about Sonic's whereabouts to Grand Metropolis. After escaping the Power Plant, Cheese and their team found Team Sonic and fought them, hoping they could make Sonic tell them of Froggy and Chocola's whereabouts. However, Team Sonic gave them the slip. Getting to Casino Park, the team decided to find Eggman and thereby Sonic. While scrolling, Cheese and their team met Eggman's robot horde which they defeated. As they got to Rail Canyon, Cheese sensed Chocola nearby while their friends picked up on the others. As they later reached Eggman's base, Eggman attacked them in the Egg Albatross, but they beat him. After the fight, however, they learned the Eggman they fought was a copy and Froggy and Chocola were not there. Suspecting that Eggman were behind their kidnappings, Team Rose decided to find Eggman to save their friends.

Continuing their journey through the jungle, Team Rose came across Team Chaotix who demanded that they handed Cheese over. After having to fight Team Chaotix, Team Rose found Hang Castle. After they escaped from Mystic Mansion, Team Rose found Eggman and his robot horde, but they defeated the latter. Following that, Team Rose got to the Egg Fleet where they searched for Eggman's fleet and eventually found the Final Fortress. There, they found Eggman in his Egg Emperor and beat him. Though their opponent turned out to be another fake, it released Chocola and Froggy, and Cheese was happy to reunite with Chocola.

Later, Teams Rose, Sonic, Chaotix and Dark witnessed the return of Metal Sonic, the true kidnapper of Froggy and Chocola and mastermind behind the teams' adventures, who had been impersonating Eggman so he could follow them and copy their data for a plan to conquer the world himself and saw him transform into Metal Madness. Seeing that the teams had collected all the Chaos Emeralds, the real Dr. Eggman came up with the plan of using them against Metal Sonic. Cheese and their team then stayed behind to stall Metal Madness with the others while Team Sonic prepared the Chaos Emeralds. After completing their task, Team Rose watched Team Sonic beat Metal Overlord. Following the battle, Cheese and the rest of their team said goodbye to Amy as she resumed chasing after Sonic.

### *Shadow the Hedgehog Spin-off*

In *Shadow the Hedgehog*, Cheese and Cream wandered into Cryptic Castle. While inside, however, the pair got separated. Fortunately, Cheese was rescued by Shadow and Amy after they found then and Cream.

### *Sonic Battle*

In *Sonic Battle*, Cream and Cheese were dragged by Amy into helping her with boxercise training. Eventually, Cheese and Cream met Emerl, a robot who was being raised by Sonic, when Amy came over with him. Eventually, Cheese and Cream were forced by Amy into helping her with her training until Amy left with Emerl to find Chaos Emeralds.

A while later, Cheese, Cream, and Amy watched over Emerl while Sonic and Tails checked out a lead on a Chaos Emerald. While they were on their own, however, Cheese, Cream and Emerl were taken hostage by Dr. Eggman and brought to the Gimme Shelter as a part of a trap for Sonic. Fortunately, Cheese and their friends managed to free themselves after Emerl beat some Guard Robos, After the trio then managed to destroy some E-121 Phis and take their Emerald Shards, Emerl managed to trick Eggman into revealing an escape route from the Gimme Shelter and the key needed to open it. After getting the key for the escape route and some Emerald Shards from local Phis, Cheese and their friends reached the escape route , only to find Chaos Gamma guarding it. Though Cream got shaken, Cheese encouraged her to stand up and fight Chaos Gamma to help Emerl, giving them enough time to retreat to a safe spot where Cheese and Cream agreed to train in order to get strong enough to defeat Chaos Gamma and escape. Once Cream seemed ready, the trio returned to Chaos Gamma and defeated him. They then took his Emerald Shard, which they joined together with the other shards to form a whole Chaos Emerald, which they gave to Emerl. Eggman then arrived, but Cheese and their friends caught the doctor in one of his own traps, allowing them to contact Sonic and get him to pick them up.

Sometime afterwards, Cheese and Cream met Emerl again, who had come to fight them so he could get to fight Shadow. Though they accepted, the duo was still defeated. Later, Cheese and Cream came to see Emerl stop Eggman and his Final Egg Blaster onboard the Death Egg through a monitor. When Eggman was defeated however, he fired the Final Egg Blaster, destroying some stars and causing Emerl to revert to his original, destructive programming. Unfortunately, Eggman could not control Emerl, and Emerl prepared to fire the Final Egg Blaster at earth. In the end, Sonic was forced to defeat Emerl, which led to Emerl self-destructing. Afterward, Cheese and Cream would mourn Emerl's passing, although Sonic would assure them that Emerl were still with them in the Emerald Shards.

### *Sonic Generations*

In the console/PC version of *Sonic Generations*, Cheese and Cream attended and helped prepare Sonic's surprise birthday party. When Sonic arrived, Cheese and the rest welcomed him and began the party, with Cheese lovingly handing Blaze a cupcake. However, the Time Eater then suddenly appeared, and Cheese and Cream were sucked into one of the Time Eater's Time Holes and ended up in White Space, where they were turned into statues due to the Time Eater's effects.

Eventually, Cheese and Cream were returned to normal by Sonic and Classic Sonic. When Classic and Modern Sonic confronted the Time Eater, which was revealed to be controlled by Dr. Eggman and Classic Eggman, Cheese arrived with Cream at the scene of the battle with the others to cheer on both Sonics, allowing them both to transform into Super Sonic. When the Sonics defeated the Time Eater, Cheese and the others were sent back to the present. Continuing the party from where it left off, Cheese later waved goodbye to Classic Sonic and Classic Tails when they returned to the past.

## Personality

Cheese is a very loyal Chao who is always there for Cream, whether it is attacking enemies on demand or just lending Cream courage. Cheese is likewise adventurous, as they always follow Cream out on her adventures, and very brave for a Chao, unafraid of facing any foe to help Cream. Cheese's mood also tends to reflect Cream's; whenever Cream is happy or upset, so is Cheese.

## Powers & Abilities

Cheese has proven themselves to be an extraordinarily powerful Chao, being both strong, fast, and durable enough to full off feats far beyond what any other child Chao has demonstrated.

Like many Chao, Cheese is able to fly, and is able to move around at super speed while in flight. In fact, they are fast enough to keep up with the running speed of Cream, who is said to be nearly as fast as Sonic. They are even fast enough to create violent tornadoes by using circular spinning motions. Cheese is similarly incredibly strong for their small stature; they can smash lesser Badniks with a single impact, send opponents as large as Chaos Gamma flying with a single Jump Attack or strike achieved using their centrifugal force, and perform full-powered bodyslams that can knock down any opponent. In addition, Cheese is surprisingly durable, surviving Badnik-destroying strikes and impacts without a scratch.

As a Chao, Cheese can gain the traits of creatures to which they are exposed to as they grow, a seen during the Gemerl incident. Unlike other Chao however, Cheese is not permanently altered when borrowing these traits, and will revert back to their base state after a short while. Being a Chao, once Cheese nears the end of their life-cycle, they can envelope themselves in a cocoon and emerge as an egg—reborn as a new Chao with the traits they had in their past life.

## Relationships

### Cream the Rabbit

Cheese is Cream the Rabbit's beloved pet Chao, best friend, and constant companion. The two are rarely ever seen apart from each other and they share a close bond, which is exemplified in how Cheese tends to reflect Cream's mood.

Cream acts much like an older sister to Cheese and the two of them make a great, perfect and adorable team. Similarly, just as much as Cream is devoted to protecting or helping Cheese, Cheese is devoted to protecting Cream and is always there for her. Also, when they join hands, they not only work together but also give each other courage. Notably, Cheese gave Cream the conviction to stand up to Chaos Gamma and fight him in order to protect Emerl in spite of Cream's dislike of violence.

### Chocola

Chocola is Cheese's twin sibling. It appears that they care deeply for Chocola as they showed sadness when they discovered that their sibling had gone missing and set off to rescue them. They were similarly happy to be reunited with Chocola near the end of the Neo Metal Sonic incident.
