Despite regularly getting into arguments due to his directness, Vector is a clever detective ready to solve any mystery. In the ''[[wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' video games, he was intended to be included in ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' as a member of the ''Sonic the Hedgehog Band'',<ref>[[tcrf:Prerelease:Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)#Early Ideas|a list of scrapped concepts for ''Sonic the Hedgehog'']].</ref> but the whole band concept was scrapped and Vector debuted in ''[[sonicretro:Knuckles' Chaotix|Knuckles' Chaotix]]'', becoming a recurring character ever since being brought back for ''[[sonicretro:Sonic Heroes|Sonic Heroes]]''. He is known for appearing in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' and its subsequent sequels as a playable Power type character, but has also made minor appearances in the [[Super Smash Bros.

====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''====
Vector appears in the first game of the series, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. As a Power type character, he can excel in any event that requires strength, but is more difficult to use in running events as a consequence. He also has his own swimming stroke, called the Crocodile Paddle. His main rival is Bowser, whom he has to beat in the Mission Mode in both the Wii and DS version. Clearing all the mission will award the player with the Vector Emblem, while getting a Gold Medal in every Event with him will unlock the Vector Crown.
Vector appears in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. As a Power type character, he can excel in any event that requires strength possessing the second highest power in the game, but he is more difficult to use in running events as a consequence: he's tied with Waluigi for the second worst speed in the game, and his skill is low, tied with both [[Bowser]] and [[Knuckles]]. His stamina is also tied with Bowser, only losing to Wario. He also has his own swimming stroke, called the Crocodile Paddle. His main rival is Bowser, whom he has to beat in the Mission Mode in both the Wii and DS version. Clearing all the mission will award the player with the Vector Emblem, while getting a Gold Medal in every Event with him will unlock the Vector Crown.


Vector's missions in the game are as follows:

===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''===
Vector returns as a playable Power type character in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. He also gains two new special abilities: When using the Head Slide, Vector falls down on his stomach head-first and moves like a swimming crocodile to accelerate or break through obstacles. Exclusive to the Rocket Ski Jump event in the [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|DS version]], Vector can blow up his Gum Balloon to use air streams to his advantage and move at a faster pace. In the [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Wii version]], the Vector Emblem can be unlocked by earning a Gold Medal in every event with him, while in the DS version it is rewarded if the player clears ten missions in Adventure Tours with Vector. A Vector suit for the player's [[Mii]] can be bought in the [[Christmas Village]], giving the Mii Vector's stats.

In the Adventure Tours mode in the [[Nintendo DS]] version, Vector is first mentioned in [[Cubyrinth]] when [[Charmy]] refuses to open a gate unless they bring his friend with them. Later in [[Icepeak]], Vector is seen next to a mission sign and becomes irritated when [[Toad]] calls for him loudly. Upon seeing [[Mario]] and [[Sonic]], he greets the gang and becomes curious about [[Donkey Kong]]. After a short conversation about music, Vector asks Donkey Kong for a [[Short Track 500m]] race to honor their first meeting. After losing to the ape, Vector admits the Chaotix actually came to do research about the mysterious Whitestones, but he got caught up in training for his favorite event. He then decides to join the group on their adventure to have an alibi in front of his two colleagues. He also shamefully remembers having abandoned Charmy in Cubyrinth, so he asks them to head there next.
====Adventure Tours====
In the Adventure Tours mode in the [[Nintendo DS]] version, Vector is first mentioned in [[Cubyrinth]] when [[Charmy Bee|Charmy]] refuses to open a gate unless they bring his friend with them. Later in [[Icepeak]], Vector is seen next to a mission sign and becomes irritated when [[Toad]] calls for him loudly. Upon seeing [[Mario]] and [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]], he greets the gang and becomes curious about [[Donkey Kong]]. After a short conversation about music, Vector asks Donkey Kong for a [[Speed Skating|Short Track 500m]] race to honor their first meeting. After losing to the ape, Vector admits the Chaotix actually came to do research about the mysterious Whitestones, but he got caught up in training for his favorite event. He then decides to join the group on their adventure to have an alibi in front of his two colleagues. He also shamefully remembers having abandoned Charmy in Cubyrinth, so he asks them to head there next.


On their way, they meet [[Espio]], whom Toad tells about Vector's performance on the Short Track 500m event, breaking his secret. Espio is angry at Vector for neglecting his duties, but is willing to finish their research alone. Back in Cubyrinth, Charmy is still guarding the gate and Vector feels sorry for him, but quickly gets mad when the bee refuses to open, believing Vector might be an imposter due to not remembering the password. However, Vector then recalls they did not agree on a password, but on a quiz about the Olympic Games, which triggers Vector's minigame "Quiz Time". After answering five questions right within 45 seconds, Charmy is finally persuaded and opens the gate, happy to see his friend again.

====''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''====
===''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''===
Vector returns as a playable Power-type character in the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'' where he appears in the opening competing in [[Canoe Sprint 1000m]] and [[Beach Volleyball (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for Wii)|Beach Volleyball]]. The [[Mii]] outfit based on Vector returns, and Vector appears as a character that can be spoken to in London Party mode. When spoken to, he will either trigger a [[Point-Based Shell Showdown!]] to award some London Eye stickers his detective agency was paid with or a [[2-on-2 Tablet Tussle!]] to return a Rosetta Stone replica to the [[British Museum]] for Vector stickers.
Vector is a playable character in the third entry of the ''Mario & Sonic'' series, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', once again classified as a Power type. He still possesses his unique swimming stroke from the first game, this time referred to as the Alligator Style, and his Head Slide ability returns as well. In the [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|3DS version]], Vector is one of the Wild Ones, a group mostly qualified for power-based events.
 
====London Party====
In the [[Wii]] version's London Party Mode, Vector can be encountered as a NPC if he is not one of the four contestants, offering one of two possible minigames. If he is angry at a recent client for paying his detective agency in stickers, he will suggest a Point-Based Shell Showdown and give the stickers to the winners. Afterwards, he is so impressed that he would like to hand out a cash prize instead of the stickers, but adds that in that scenario he would have participated himself. The player will then be rewarded London Eye stickers. On another occasion, Vector finds a famous stone tablet from the British Museum, the Rosetta Stone. Hoping for a big reward if he returns it, he asks the players to help him carry it there, but gets frustrated when they start fighting over it, triggering a 2-on-2 Tablet Tussle. It is only when they arrive that Vector notices the gravure "replica" written on it, angrily realizing all the trouble was for nothing. The winners of the minigame will still get Vector stickers as a reward.
 
====Story Mode====
In the Story Mode in the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] version, Vector arrives in London some days prior to the Olympic Games to train with [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]]. When the duo is called to the wrestling venue to meet up with [[Espio the Chameleon|Espio]] and [[Charmy Bee|Charmy]], however, he notices his colleagues are acting strange and feels something is wrong. Unaware Bowser's minions set up a trap and were transformed by [[Kamek]] to look like Espio and Charmy, Vector accepts a challenge by Bowser and is suddenly bitten by a summoned [[Piranha Plant]], leaving him too weak to win. Before being able to accuse the king of foul play, however, Bowser is escorted out of the area by his minions.
 
Some time later, when the Phantasmal Fog is spreading all over London, Vector and Knuckles search the Horse Guards Parade after [[Amy Rose|Amy]] heard a trap was being prepared for [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]. They find Bowser there, but lose track of him in the mist, so Vector agrees with Espio to send Sonic to the Beach Volleyball court. As the hedgehog arrives, Bowser tries to sneak attack him, giving Vector and Knuckles a chance to corner him. They then take on the Koopa King, eager to make up for their previous loss, and Vector guards him as Knuckles destroys the area's fog machine. The croc detective promises Sonic to stay and interrogate Bowser, but shortly afterwards, he dissolves into thin air, revealing they have been fighting an imposter. As the Phantasmal Fog starts covering London all over again, the duo has [[Donkey Kong]] help them clear the area, and then head on to the main stadium to watch the opening ceremony.


In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|version]] of the game, Vector is included in the Wild Ones group, meaning that he is only playable in certain [[Event]]s. In the story mode, Vector first appears chasing Bowser at [[Horse Guards Parade]] with [[Knuckles]], and challenges him to an Olympic Event when Sonic arrives. When Bowser is defeated, Knuckles clears the [[Phantasmal Fog]] from the area and stays behind with Vector to interrogate Bowser, although it later turns out that it was only a hologram of Bowser. Vector later calls Mario, [[Luigi]], Sonic and [[Tails]] when they face Bowser and Dr. Eggman to offer them support, and appears at the opening ceremony. Vector also appears in the bonus episode [[The Life of a Minion]], where he is tricked into competing with Bowser by some of his minions and ultimately loses the event. A [[List of badges in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|badge]] of Vector can also be obtained from the badge machine.
===''Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games''===
Vector appears again in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', returning as a Power type character. While his Head Slide ability does not return here, he gets a new unnamed Special Boost where he spins around his own axis in midair head-first, his movement resembling a drill. Vector also has two special winning animations with [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] and [[Donkey Kong]].

In Legends Showdown mode, where the cast of playable characters join forces to win the Legends Trophy, Vector teams up with [[Daisy]], [[Luigi]] and [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]] to take on area 3 of the mysterious castle and retrieve the yellow key. Upon arriving at the castle grounds, mysterious doppelgangers emerge from their shadows, challenging them to multiple events and retreating to higher platforms after each of the team's victory, before disappearing altogether. As Vector and the others finally reach the gate, however, the yellow key starts glowing and summons [[Jet the Hawk]]. After beating him in Snowboard Parallel Giant Slalom, they finally get the key and move on.
