'''Rouge the Bat''' is an eighteen-year-old white bat, and one of the main characters from the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series. She carries a lot of experience in treasure hunting, mainly focusing on the Master and Chaos Emeralds. Along with this, she also serves as a part-time government agent working with the Guardian Units of Nations (or G.U.N.). She first debuted in ''Sonic Adventure 2'' and has been showing up regularly in the series ever since.

 

===Background===

Rouge has the ability to fly with her bat wings. In the ''Sonic'' series, Rouge plays a somewhat big role. She is a crook who is fond of stealing the Chaos Emeralds along with [[Shadow the Hedgehog]]. She occasionally will help out [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]], and has been shown to have a romantic interest with [[Knuckles the Echidna]].

 

 

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===

Rouge makes a minor cameo in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Rouge's [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]], which depicts her appearance profile picture, adds ten points to tail attacks and is usable by Yoshi, Pikachu, Diddy Kong, and Pokemon Trainer.

Rouge makes an appearance as a boss in the Festival mode of the [[Figure Skating]] event in the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|version]]. In single player mode, Rouge appears after the player trains in Figure Skating and challenges them with a high score to beat. In Co-op Festival mode, Rouge appears right before the halfway point of the festival with the same challenge. It is said by Toad and Cream that her performance is amazing and without a single mistake. Rouge also appears as a [[Mii]] costume in the shop for 300 star points, increasing the player's Skill points greatly.  

In the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|version]], Rouge is first seen in the area past the mechanical gate that [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] is required to fix in [[Frostown]]. When approached, Rouge is in deep thought as to the whereabouts of Shadow, and does not seem concerned with the stolen Olympic memorabilia. Later on in [[Cubyrinth]], Shadow mentions seeing a flying treasure hunter and accepts to join the team in case any troubles might arise with the hunter (who is really Rouge).  

Mario and Sonic make a deal with Rouge to exchange Whitestones with her for Olympic memorabilia; each piece is worth three whitestones. [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] faces off against her when Bowser and [[Dr. Eggman]] bribe her with a ton of Whitestones to defeat the player in Figure Skating. She accepts but when defeated aids the player and helps free [[Blizza]]. While this is happening Eggman and Bowser capture [[Frosty]] but Rouge quickly pursues them. When talked to afterward in Frostown Rouge apologizes for letting her greed get the better of her and mentions how Bowser and Eggman gave her the slip.

From then on, Rouge continues the Whitestones dealings and continues from town to town searching for memorabilia.

In the [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Wii version]], Rouge is a non-playable character. She is one of various characters that the players can speak to in the London Party Mode and appears as a rival in the [[110m Hurdles]] event. If the player defeats her they can receive a sticker.

In the [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|3DS version]], [[Princess Peach]] challenges Rouge in the [[100m Backstroke]] event. After defeating Rouge, she reveals the the fog hypnotized her and agrees to help Peach, [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Amy Rose|Amy]], [[Blaze the Cat|Blaze]], [[Toad (species)|Blue Toad]], [[Toad (species)|Purple Toad]], and [[Toad (species)|Yellow Toad]]. Once they find the fog machine, Blaze destroys the machine and [[Toad]], [[Mario]], and [[Luigi]] find the girls to check if they're okay.
