Amy Rose
Amy Rose has been met with a polarizing reception from media critics. Lucas Thomas of IGN spoke positively of the character saying "one of the coolest things about Amy is her enormous, walloping hammer". Contrarily, both Thomas East and Jim Sterling consider her among the worst Sonic characters, with them criticizing her personality. Justin Towell of GamesRadar considers her introduction in Sonic CD one of its flaws, although he added that she is not the "annoying brat like in Sonic Adventure". Cindy Robinson's voice acting has also been met with criticism, with several drawing comparisons to Minnie Mouse's voice.
