- You may be looking for the Avatar from the Archie Comics Sonic the Hedgehog comic series.
Template:Character An Avatar is a customizable avatar created by Rare Ltd that can represent a player or another character in some Xbox 360 games and online features. Avatars represent users of the Xbox Live service on its consoles (Xbox 360 and the Xbox One) and also on Windows Phone and Windows 8.
In the Sonic the Hedgehog series, some games allow a person's Avatar to participate in the game, instead of the default playable characters.
Playable appearances
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
Avatars can race in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. Tour avatar drives the Ava-car 720 and its All-Star Move is Party Power, where four Avatar friends pick up the player's car and start running while knocking out anything in their path. For the Wii, Avatars are replaced with Mii's.
Sonic Free Riders
Avatars are playable and can ride their own exclusive Extreme Gear: Avatar-M for males and Avatar-F for females.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Avatars are playable again in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Like last time, they drive the Ava-car 720, which now sports a black and green paint-job to resemble the Xbox 360 S console, and looks more like an actual car. Avatar's can be unlocked by beating all of the Normal Grand Prix races on any difficulty, which also unlocks The Mirror cups. Their All-Star attack is shooting Xbox balls at opponents. A remix of the Avatar Editor/store music plays during their All-Star.
