Speedy - Sonic R

Another Sonic R style model, since its been rattling around in my brain for a while. He deserved better than one (game) appearance. Sonic gets to have like four rivals, but Tails can't even have one?

Speedy (or Battle Kukku XVI) is genuinely one of the best foils you could have for Tails and I think it really is a shame we didn’t get more of him past the one game he appeared in & his appearances in Archie.

Like firstly, is just the fact that it gives Tails a rival, which I think would be good for his character! Him having more conflicts outside of solely helping Sonic would be a way to show him becoming a more independent character. He’s treated as support most of the time, which he works great as, but he deserves to be in the spotlight from time to time too.

And in terms of having a foil for Tails, Speedy is perfect. Let me break it down:

For those unfamiliar, Speedy is a boss character from Tails’ Adventure on the Game Gear. He is part of the Battle Kukku Empire, a powerful invading force of birds that Tails works against throughout the game. Speedy appears multiple times as a boss, being the heir to the throne of the game’s final boss. As he can fly, he’s able to match Tails’ aerial ability.

A big way they parallel each other is their circumstances of birth. Tails was mocked for his two tails when he was young, but ended up turning them into something he uses for himself, something he’s proud of. Speedy, on the other hand, is born into a position of power, had what he wanted handed to him for basically his whole life. He feels entitled, and resents those who challenge his hierarchical view of the world.

An interesting bit is that Speedy seems to use performance enhancing gear/armor (partially due to the vagueness of his original design- it was unclear how he flew along with it being unsure if he was wearing a diaper or whatever.) Whether this is because he needs it to be capable of flight or if its just to enhance his abilities is unclear, but the former is a great angle to take with it as it feeds into the contrast between them.

Due to his birthright he would feel owed the abilities Tails has naturally, Tails existing represents a wrinkle in his ideology, and that is such a juicy setup for conflict.

Speedy resenting Tails for his unique traits is a really interesting dynamic to me, since while Tails is supposedly ostracized for his extra tail, its never really mentioned or talked about outside his backstory. I’m not saying other characters should constantly be rude to Tails for being the way he is, but having a reminder of the upbringing Tails comes from and the kind of world he stands against is a great & somewhat unexplored angle of his character. Tails stands for anyone being capable of being anything, while Speedy stands for people’s places in the world being decided the moment they are born.

And another part is how, in Archie, Tails proves him wrong! And he admits that! He’d make for a really interesting reoccurring character because his perspective would shift due to him gaining respect through Tails via their rivalry.

He’s absolutely one of the biggest example of “what could’ve been” with early Sonic characters that have been phased out. Its a bit of a shame he doesn’t get as much love as other classic characters that haven’t reappeared since.

(Bowser’s retinue all get a classic and modern counterpart because I couldn’t decide.)

The Child of the/a Villain (Modern: …with a secret heart of gold. Classic: Hangs out on a flying warship.)

The Masked Lackey

The Evil Doppelgänger (Just won’t stay dead.)

The Evil Doppelgänger’s Sidekick (Abilities paralleling the hero’s sidekick; very confident in their own attractiveness.)

Side A - Round 2 - Match Up 8

Propaganda:

Storm

I mean, someone needs to get knocked out in round one

(with Jet and Storm, when asked if iconic) (I'd say yes. At least in the Riders trilogy. They're Team Sonic's main foils in those games (aside from Eggman, of course).)

(with Jet and Storm) Since most of the birds we have on this list are arrogant peacocks (pun intended), here's a whole trio of them! But at least these three have the abilities to back up their preening.

Speedy

Diaper bird from an old Sonic game who has a niche following. You could probably fill out spaces in the bracket with other members of the Battle Bird Armada, but I only remember Speedy cuz I see him around the most

So now Prophet AU: Bean (Team hooligan first, Sonic)

He’s mostly based on THIS

In a Bumblekast, it is said that a VERY OLD concept for Bean was to be an experiment by the Battle Bird Armada. I decided that would be the case for him, and Bean eventually leaving and getting adopted by Bin. (Which probably means that his name was changed to Bean, lol imagine his first title was Missle Device or something)

And another important thing is this YouTube comment *Talking about the Dynamite Plant

IM USING THAT AS CANON. BEAN OWNS A FACTORY. Which is kinda funny, like you’re trouble as a duck but you own a whole friggin factory???

*Unrelated but with Bean being a project, his relationship with Speedy will be interesting, first starting off with: Why does Bean look like Speedy? Well the Battle Kukku Lord probably has a perfection problem, thinking that Speedy will be a perfect leader lead him to designing Bean similar to his son. Also Bean leaving is most likely based on his want for freedom. Which really chains up with Speedy’s lore but I ain’t ready for that, Speedy deservers his own talk. But for now, ye, Bean and Speedy VERY MUCH DISAGREE ON THEIR BELIEFS

The Great Battle Kukku and the Son

What's up with this guy?

There's not a lot of analysis around him, hell, the Encyclospeedia doesn't even care to actually get his name right (though, the Encyclospeedia largely does not care for Tails Adventures (there are multiple errors and sprites from The Spriters Resource before i've started stepping in!!! What the fuck!!)

..But he lacks wings. They can't be just beak-colored feathers either, his arms are too thin for there to be feathers there. He's just like his son. His son who he gave mechanical arms that are built like HIS arms in a last ditch effort to defend the Battle Fortress- or maybe just GBK.

The fucks going on here???
