Appearances[]
Vector was first slated to appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog sound test, but it was cut make room for the "Sega" jingle, and he appeared in Knuckles' Chaotix. The Japanese manual states after an island that after an island rises from the ocean depths, Vector travels there as he interpreted the islands sudden appearance from out of nowhere as a miracle from God. Vector is a playable character that can do mid-air dashes and climb on walls.
In Sonic Heroes, Vector is the "power" character, meaning that he can destroy enemies and obstacles with ease by biting them and threowing his parthers with his mouth. He can also puch the ground, float above fans with a bubblegum, and pit music, fire and exploding bubblegum at enemies.
In Shadow the Hedgehog, Vector is a partner character on the "Cosmic Fall" stage. Vector is looking forvthe main computer room on the Space Colony ARK, and the player can choose to help him as the "hero" mission (His most well-known speech here is "Find the computer room!"). Vector then helps the player with the following boss battle, either against Eggman or Black Doom. After Black Doom is defeated, he reveals that Shadow slowly walks away as Vector desperately tries to confort him. That ending is however only a possibility, and not canon to the storyline.
