Cream (character)

Cream the Rabbit is a young, cream-colored rabbit from the  franchise. She has made a few appearances alongside the cast of the Mario franchise through cross-over games between the Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog series.

She has a Chao named Cheese who accompanies her everywhere except for in Sonic Free Riders.

She has been voiced by Rebecca Honig in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and its sequel as well as by Michelle Ruff in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Cream's first appearance alongside Mario and the other Mario franchise characters is in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. While she is not playable, she serves as one of the referees in some of the game's events. She, along with Toad, mainly handles calling out fouls and starting races in the Athletics events.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
In the next installment, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Cream reprises her role as a referee in the events. Cream also appears as one of the scorekeepers of the Festival Mode along with Toad. In this mode, she and Toad serve as the main hosts and announce the day's events, and can be seen cheering for the player throughout.

In the Nintendo DS version of the game, Cream appears in the story mode beside a locked chest. After some recommendation of talking to her by Toad, Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog can speak to her and obtain a new type of gear from opening the chest she was struggling with. Due to her polite nature, she is content with giving the obtained item to Mario and Sonic for their adventure. In the ending, an unlockable photo of her alongside Toad and many of the other hosts can be obtained.

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games
In Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Cream once again serves as one of the more common referees alongside Toad, Espio the Chameleon, and Charmy Bee. She along with Toad hosts the London Party Mode option of the game, and she is also can be seen making cameos in various events. A suit based on her can also be unlocked and be worn by the player's Mii. Her Chao friend Cheese makes his introduction in the series within this game and accompanies her throughout this installment.

In the Nintendo 3DS version, she maintains her role as a host and referee. In addition, she makes an appearance within the story mode along with Cheese. She is first seen when the main stadium becomes covered with Phantasmal Fog once again (after the heroes had cleared up London from the fog the first time) and is seen to be looking for her friends with Cheese. Unfortunately, the two come upon four fog clones (based on Mario, Luigi, Sonic, and Tails) that immediately attack the young girl as nearby Shy Guys flee from the scene in cowardice. Fortunately, the real Mario and Sonic arrive (along with Luigi, Tails, Toad, and Omochao in tow) and save Cream and Cheese from the attack by challenging the fog clones.

At first, Cream becomes confused to see two versions of her friends. Tails explains the situation to her and comforts her, then tells Cream (along with Cheese) to stay by Toad in order to be safe (with Toad agreeing to protect her by cheering on for the others). After the fog clones are defeated, Cream thanks the others for their help and calls them her "heroes". Not too long after, Omega arrives at the scene and informs the group of a new area to investigate, Stonehenge, for more clues about the reappearance of the fog. As Mario, Luigi, Sonic, Tails, Toad, and Omega head off to investigate Stonehenge, Cream wishes the team good luck on their quest after having decided to remain at the main stadium along with Cheese and Omochao.

Cream is later seen celebrating with the rest of the characters in the opening ceremony which occurs after the heroes manage to defeat Dr. Eggman and Bowser and save London from the Phantasmal Fog.
