What are your top 5 Sonic characters?

Here’s my list:

Sonic the Hedgehog: The GOAT of all GOATs 🐐… who’s actually a hedgehog! A blue ball of coolness, attitude, and confidence. He never falters, even when things are at their worst, and that’s just so motivational to me. Honestly, how can you NOT love him!?
Shadow the Hedgehog: He’s like Sonic, but edgy! The ultimate lifeform with a tragic backstory. There’s a reason he’s the second favorite among fans—he’s just that iconic.
Eggman: The man with the master plan, shaped like an egg 🥚! This mad scientist with an IQ of 300 is equal parts witty, funny, and downright evil. I love this goofy (or should I say "goof-egg?") villain.
Metal Sonic: Sonic’s evil mechanical counterpart, created by Eggman. Ever since his debut in Sonic CD, he’s been a favorite! His design is sleek and menacing, and his cold, silent demeanor sends shivers down my spine. The perfect rival to Sonic’s natural energy.
Amy Rose: Amy is adorable, goofy, and full of that "fail-girl" energy. While she might seem annoying at first, exploring her character in later games made me appreciate her so much more. She’s an essential and lovable part of the cast!
