Sonic 2 – Character Bios

Sonic (Ben Schwartz/voice talent)

Capable at traveling at the speed of sound, Sonic is a curious, confident and fast-talking blue hedgehog always ready for any type of adventure. After seemingly defeating the nefarious and power-hungry Dr. Robotnik, he’s speedily settling into his life on Earth with Tom and Maddie. But excitement is never far away from our favorite blue friend – Sonic meets a new ally, Tails, and the two must band together to defeat Dr. Robotnik after he escapes captivity on the Mushroom Planet with the help of a powerful partner, Knuckles. 

Tom Wachowski (James Marsden) 

Born and raised in quiet Green Hills, MT, Tom Wachowski had always played by the rules. As a small-town cop, he felt like he never had the excitement and adventure he dreamed of when he decided to be an officer… that is, until a fun-loving ball of energy named Sonic came into his life and lovingly gave him the nickname “Donut Lord.” Tom and his wife, Maddie (Tika Sumpter), have since welcomed Sonic into their home, bringing with him more love and even more chaos.  

Maddie (Tika Sumpter) 

Tika Sumpter returns as Maddie, a veterinarian who’s married to Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). She and Tom let Sonic live in their home in Green Hills, MT and keep a close eye on him. Sonic refers to her as “Pretzel Lady” for her impressive yoga moves.

Dr Robotnik (Jim Carrey)

Dr. Ivo Robotnik is the smartest man on Planet Earth and the world’s foremost expert on robotics. His relentless pursuit of the world’s fastest hedgehog ended unsuccessfully, and he was forever banished to the isolated Mushroom Planet. His quest for ultimate power is seemingly lost, until he’s able to partner with powerful echidna Knuckles to return to Earth to try and conquer Sonic’s power once and for all. 

Tails (Colleen O’Shaughnessey/voice talent)

Miles “Tails” Prower emerges on Planet Earth and quickly becomes Sonic’s loyal best friend and sidekick as they battle it out against Dr. Robotnik. As a skilled pilot and mechanical genius, Tails creates brilliant inventions to help Sonic out of trouble… not to mention he can use his twin tails like helicopter rotors to fly through the sky. 

Knuckles (Idris Elba/voice talent)

Knuckles boldly makes his entrance on Planet Earth as Dr. Robotnik’s new comrade in the quest to bring down Sonic. As of force of nature with fists to destroy, Knuckles’ strength will square up against Sonic’s speed and create the ultimate showdown between the alien hedgehog and the alien echidna.
