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.

Avatars can purchase or unlock certain items that relate to games. Some of these items can only be purchased in shops while some unique items can be unlocked once certain achievements are met in certain games.

Trivia[]
- The player can earn a Sonic costume by completing Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
- In Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, "Avatar" species is classified as Human.
- Like the Miis the player is able to bring avatar awards their avatar has on into some games, as long as he/she equips the item. This can offer chances to "play as" some out-of-game-characters (like Halo's Master Chief), often resulting in comedic results.
- There is small comesmetic glitch when the player's avatar is a wearing certain avatar costumes from the Halo series (primarily Spartan armor costumes) in which the visor piece appears as complete black.
