She 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]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
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 [[Pokémon Trainer]].


===Mario and Sonic Series===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Rouge appears as a [[spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]].


====Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games====
===''Mario & Sonic'' series===

====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''====
[[File:Rouge1.png|thumb|left|Rouge in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'']]
[[File:MSWG Rouge.png|thumb|Rouge in the Figure Skating event]]
Rouge makes an appearance as a boss in the Festival mode of the [[Figure Skating (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for Wii)|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.

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 [[Tails]] is required to fix in [[Frostown]]. When approached, Rouge is in deep thought as to the whereabouts of [[Shadow (character)|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, or anyone else who the player chooses, faces off against her when [[Bowser]] and [[Dr. Eggman]] bribe her with a ton of Whitestones to defeat the player in Figure Skating, tricking her. She accepts, unaware that it is a trick, but when defeated, she 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]], [[Cubyrinth]], or [[Sparkleton]] if the player is at that point already, Rouge apologizes for letting her greed get the better of her and mentions how Bowser and Eggman gave her the slip.
