Amy Rose

## How Amy joined the Tourney

Amy Rose, also formerly known as Rosy the Rascal, is a fictional, anthropomorphic pink hedgehog from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She has a major long-standing crush on Sonic the Hedgehog, and has been trying to win his heart by any means since meeting him. Such methods included impressing him by fighting robots, and threatening to leave him locked in prison on Prison Island. Introduced in the game franchise in 1993, Amy was the first — and most recurring — female character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series and is also one of the most popular characters, coming in fifth place on an official popularity poll, being the most popular female character.[3]

She was described to be eight years old in Sonic CD, but from Sonic Adventure onward she has grown by four years. With the addition of Cream the Rabbit, Amy seems to have found herself a sidekick similar to how Tails is to Sonic (as implied in Sonic Battle, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Advance 3, and Shadow the Hedgehog).

## How to Unlock

For both methods, you must fight Amy Rose at Twinkle Park. After defeating Amy, the announcer will say "Someone else has joined the Tourney!" after a Smash Ball appears on the lower-right corner of the screen with a message saying "You can now use Sonic's self-proclaimed girlfriend, Amy Rose!" She will be seen right of Lexine, left of the Nameless Shura, above Kojuro and below Huang Zhong.

## Trivia

* Amy Rose is the first Tourney 2 character to have a hidden victory pose.
* Although she isn't present at all in Tourney 1, she is mentioned by Jagi when he fights Captain Tina saying "Your hammer-wielding hedgehog friend's gone into a cave, fighting bears!" In Tourney 2, he continues to mention her when fighting Captain Tina, even if Amy Rose hasn't been unlocked yet.
* The first character from the Tekken universe to get a special non-original quote to be said to Amy Rose is Shin Kamiya; in this case, "I had to! I was running out of time, but now I can die a human..." is what Shin says.
* Initially, Amy Rose was going to say "I want Sonic to marry me!" to Jin Kazama when he asks her what she's after, but due to changes in Jin's on-screen appearance quotes in the development of Tourney 2. Her former quote to Jin is now being said to Giratina; thus making Amy Rose the first Tourney 2 newcomer to have a wish quote to be said to Giratina.
* The rival of Amy Rose is Beast a.k.a., Dr. Henry McCoy. Her second rival is Katsuie Shibata, the Devil Shibata of the Oda Clan.
