Team Rose

Team Rose from Sonic Heroes.

In Sonic Heroes, the characters of Team Rose are trying to find their friends. As Amy Rose looks for Sonic, she meets up with Big the Cat and Cream the Rabbit. Big is on the hunt for his little friend, Froggy, while Cream is looking for Cheese the Chao's brother, Chocola. With a picture in the newspaper as their only clue, the three join up to form the team and find them all.

The style of play for Team Rose is the simplest in the game, with fewer enemies, longer flight times, and shorter stage lengths, and is designed for younger players. It also gives a mandatory tutorial session with Omochao at the Sea Gate every time you play the first scene of the Team Rose Story.

During their journey, they have run-ins with two of the other teams: Team Sonic and Team Chaotix. Amy catches up with Sonic at the top of the Power Plant stage. While the initiative is to ask where Froggy and Chocola are, Amy has other intentions. Team Chaotix confronts Team Rose after the Lost Jungle stage. They believe that Cheese is one of the Chao they were supposed to rescue.

Notably, Team Rose is the only team with a female Speed character. This is also the only team that is mostly female, although it's only half female if you count the genderless Cheese.

In Sonic Free Riders

Team Rose makes a reappearance in Sonic Free Riders, however Big is inexplicably missing. In his place is Vector the Crocodile. Amy hired him a mere half hour before the EX World Grand Prix and promised him half of the cut if they won the championship. As the championship turned out to be a scam by Eggman (just like the first one), there was no actual money involved, and everyone ends up empty handed.
