The Frog Cruiser[2] (フロッグクルーザー Furoggu Kurūzā?) is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is Big the Cat's personal sports car, specially created by Dodon Pa for Big to let him participate in his Grand Prix competition.
Description[]
The default Frog Cruiser is a green racing car reminiscent of a frog, being specifically based on Big's friend Froggy. Below its hood on the front, the Frog Cruiser is outfitted with a reel with a hook on a long line. It also has a fishing rod in the back. In addition, the Frog Cruiser does not possess a steering wheel, and is instead controlled by two joysticks placed just on the far rear end of the hood to account for Big's size.
Like other cars in Team Sonic Racing, its appearance can be customized with different paint jobs, Performance Parts and decals. Its horn can also be changed.

In Team Sonic Racing, the Frog Cruiser appears as Big's race car, specially created by Dodon Pa for Big. During the events of the game, the Frog Cruiser was one of the cars Dodon Pa gave Big and his friends so they could compete in his Grand Prix competition. Big would afterward use it during the races and challenges he participated in. However, the Frog Cruiser was eventually destroyed when the heroes had to leave it aboard the crashing Final Fortress. Fortunately, Dodon Pa promised to replace it with a new one.
In this game, the Frog Cruiser's basic statistics have high defense, boost and top speed. Though the handling stat is notably low with the acceleration stat being the lowest by far. However, its statistics, as well as its artistic design, can be modified by replacing its parts.
