Scourge the Hedgehog
Origin: Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie) #11 (1994)
Stats: 9 speed, 3 weight
Default Color: Turtle
Rivals: Sonic, Tails, Surge
Internal Name: scourge
Prefix: SCRG
After escaping Zone Jail, I figured I could use a vacation. And what better way to relax than to bust the head of that goody-two-shoes Prime Sonic! Luckily for him, my Warp Ring seems to be on the fritz - when I tried to use it to warp to the Prime Zone, it took me to some different zone where everyone is all chummy and driving karts all over the place. Well, whatever! A Sonic's a Sonic, and what better way to prove I'm the best there is than to beat him at his own game? Once I've crushed his spirits in a kart race, maybe I'll crush his zone just for fun!
...What do you mean, my kart will have the "same stats as Sonic"?! You two-tailed simp, you'd better make my ride even faster or we'll find out what happens when I bust your nerdy little "high voltage ring" over your head-!
Caliburn
Origin: Sonic and the Black Knight (2009)
Stats: 5 speed, 3 weight
Default Color: Bronze
Rivals: Shadow, Knuckles, Blaze
Internal Name: caliburn
Prefix: CLBN
Prithee, Blacksmith, could you tell me the name of this land in which I find myself? What's that you say? You are not a blacksmith? Apologies, I must have mistaken you for someone else. And what's this about racing?
I may not know how I have found myself in this land, but a Sacred Sword must not deny its call to action. I am intrigued by these strange horseless carriages, and the fox and his egg-shaped companion were kind enough to set me up with one which I could control despite my lack of limbs. King Sonic always did have an interest in "going fast", so perhaps it is time I find out how I feel about it for myself!
King Boom Boo
Origin: Sonic Adventure 2 (2001)
Stats: 2 speed, 6 weight
Default Color: Cerulean
Rivals: Knuckles, Amy, Cream
Internal Name: kingboomboo
Prefix: KNBB
I was shocked when this behemoth of a specter showed up, demanding to race. I guess all the ghosts that showed up to act as Followers and the Hyudoros who kindly volunteered to act as items were enough to call in the presence of the king of ghosts himself! I guess he and Knuckles have some history...?
Thunderbolt the Chinchilla
Origin: Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie) #263 (2014)
Stats: 7 speed, 1 weight
Default Color: Yellow
Rivals: Dr. Eggman, Battle Kukku XV, Metal Sonic
Internal Name: thunderbolt
Prefix: TBLT
I never expected Lord Eggman's plot for world domination to revolve around kart racing, and I definitely never thought he would be able to convince Sonic's little fox friend to help, but that's my boss for you! I'll follow the brilliant doctor anywhere, and I'll be ready the moment the 'Ring Race' turns from fun and games to destroying Sonic once and for all! And I won't complain about a little not-so-friendly competition in the meantime, either.
...Hey, this is fun! Lord Eggman is even incredible at building go-karts! Eeee! Is there anything he can't do??
